Ye He Ping also felt his previous words were too harsh, but when he thought of the things his wife had done, any trace of guilt in his heart disappeared. He felt he should be firm and not always think about how difficult things were for his wife, then compromise, and finally make the family uneasy, even stirring those above.
Bai Xue sat dumbfounded on the chair, not speaking, seeming as if she had been hit by a blow. The low crying from the West Room also stopped after Ye He Ping threw out those words. The room was quiet, so quiet that you could almost hear your own heartbeat.
