"Son, what's wrong? I always feel like you're restless these days."
"During the meal, Shen's mother asked with concern."
Since settling in Nan Ming with her son, her life had become increasingly smooth. The only thorn in her side was her ex-husband and his son, who relentlessly pursued and tangled with her.
Out of familial obligation, Shen Yuan stepped in to let them stay in Jiangnan. However, that brother proved to be completely useless. Even now, he had failed to gain admission to the institute, and his temperament had grown unbearably violent. It was said that he frequently abused the maidservants he had brought along.
Her entire situation now relied on her son. No matter how much that father and son resented her, they couldn't harm her and still had to curry favor.
But if her son ever fell from grace, or worse...
She often worried, as Shen Yuan seemed to encounter dangerous situations more and more frequently these days.
