Hearing Ouyang Jin's words, the eldest lady was stunned:
"I may have been a little harsh on you, but you shouldn't have said such outrageous words. I am your mother!"
Her voice became a little hoarse due to her emotions, as if she wanted to use all her strength in this sentence to try to soften her son's heart.
However, Ouyang Jin was not moved by his mother's words. His face was covered with blood and tears, and he looked very embarrassed, but his eyes were unusually calm, like a pool of stagnant water, without the slightest ripple.
"Look at me. From childhood to adulthood, injuries like this are commonplace for me. Have you ever felt the slightest bit of heartache? Are you really my biological mother? Sometimes, I even wonder if I was picked up."

The eldest lady stared blankly at her son's receding figure until he completely disappeared from her sight. Only then did she come to her senses as if waking from a dream.
Her lips trembled and she wanted to call her son, but she found that her throat seemed to be blocked by something and she couldn't make a sound.
Finally, she used up all her strength and shouted loudly: "Rebellious son, come back to me! How can you leave the capital like this?" However, her shouts echoed in the empty courtyard, but received no response.
