Mu Shuangshuang instantly understood that Yu Si Niang wanted to split the family, but had yet to find a reason to convince herself.

"Mother, keep this matter in your heart for now. When Shuangshuang has time, she will discuss it with you in detail."
Yu Si Niang let out a sigh of relief, though she felt a hint of anticipation. She wondered if it was just her imagination, but ever since their last conflict, her daughter seemed different, more thoughtful than before.
"Shuangshuang, it's my fault for being useless. I've let you grow up without having a single good meal. Mother is sorry to you..."
Yu Si Niang's eyes roamed over Mu Shuangshuang's frail body. The more she looked, the more pained her expression became. A perfectly healthy daughter, thirteen years old, yet she looked no different from a ten-year-old child, and her body was even thinner.
