She raised a contemptuous smile and sneered:
"I've done my best for you and your wife. Back then, you were so cruel to leave your son to me to raise. And what about me? Worried about you meeting an unexpected event, I diligently prepared a large amount of miraculous medicine for you.
If it weren't for my special poison-absorbing incense, you would have died long ago based on the crazy ferocity of Dong Jinguo's poisonous insects!
But what about me? When I was trapped in Kyoto, did you ever send even one person to rescue me? No! Not even a single person!

"Thank you, and I hope you can make the right choice."
