Madame Jia returned home trembling, clutching her son so tightly she refused to let go. Her tears soaked through Jia Dongxu’s clothes. "Dongxu, remember this: the Qin family are our enemies. When you grow up, you must take revenge on them."
Jia Dongxu was twelve years old, an age at which a boy in these times should have been sensible. However, Madame Jia was so domineering that Jia Dongxu’s personality—to put it kindly—was obedient, and to put it bluntly, he was a mama's boy. He could only hold Madame Jia and offer comfort. "Mother, don't worry. I will grow up strong, work hard to become a high-ranking official, and then I will take revenge on the Qin family."
Madame Jia looked at her sensible son. "Yes, my son will surely become a high-ranking official one day."
