Qin Ze had no words to argue, and could only hold his mother's shoulders tightly.
Lin Wan continued, "And this woman, as a member of the Jin family, her mother wanted to hate her and wanted her to suffer the same retribution as her father, but..."
"But she is different from those people. Mother is reasonable and not a fool. Mother knows that she went to assassinate because she was going to sacrifice herself for righteousness. Even if Mother wanted to hate such a woman, she found that she just couldn't bring herself to hate her."
“Now that the Jin family has been overthrown, this woman has become a helpless orphan, and I feel sorry for her.”
“But I know I shouldn’t pity her. Although what the Jin family did had nothing to do with her, she still has the blood of the Jin family in her veins. I’m afraid that seeing her will remind me of how your father was killed by the Jin family.”
"That's what I keep telling myself, but today you mentioned she has no home in Jinling anymore, and this really troubles me..."
At this point, she gripped her son's hand tightly on her shoulder: "I...I'm still sad."
“But I shouldn’t be sad. How can I face your father in the afterlife if I’m sad for a member of the Jin family…” She wiped away her tears.
These words filled Qin Ze with emotion. After a barely audible sigh, he bent down, embraced his sobbing mother, and said softly:
"Because Mother is a good person."
"A good person can't bear to see another good person suffer a miserable end, so my mother is sad."
As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Wan raised her tear-filled face and looked at Qin Ze: "Ze'er, is she really a good woman?"
"Okay." Qin Ze replied, looking at his mother seriously and saying:
"I want to marry her, take care of her for the rest of my life, and give her a home again."
"Mother, is it alright?"
Lin Wan wiped away her tears and reached out to stroke her son's earnest face:
"Of course, Ze'er."
"You are my son. Whatever you want to do, I will support you. I have, I support you now, and I will support you forever."
As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Ze was deeply moved, and his eyes immediately welled up with tears. He hugged Lin Wan tightly and said, "Mom, you are so good."
Lin Wan then whispered, "If your mother is good to you, then you should be good to your mother too."
"Yes, that's for sure." Qin Ze let go of her hand and looked at her with a smile.
Lin Wan suddenly winked at him: "Then I want to hold my grandson early next year."
——
"Miss, the Empress Dowager has instructed that you must dine with her tonight."
“I have already sent someone to your residence to tell you this, so you don’t need to worry.”
In the front hall, Zhang Zisheng, having guessed that the mother and son had been chatting for a while, told them to go and ask when the meal would be served, and then prepared to take his leave and return home. However, as soon as he told the maid about it, the maid gave him this reply.
"Okay." Zhang Zisheng agreed, then turned around and sat back down in her chair.
