Xiao Mei was unaware of the reason Chen Cheng did not kneel. Thinking that he had lost his conscience, out of anger, she kicked him twice. Chen Cheng fell to the ground and then came to his senses. He alternated his knees to move forward, kneeling as he made his way to Uncle Quan's tombstone.
"Uncle Quan! I'm sorry! I've come to confess to you! I've failed your teachings and I'm even sorrier for not appreciating all the care you gave me! You told me to be a good person, but I failed to keep your teachings in my heart at all times, which led to my crimes..."
Facing Uncle Quan's tombstone, Chen Cheng murmured to himself, then embraced the tombstone and burst into loud sobs.
His pitiful appearance touched the hearts of the women present, but none would sympathize with him, nor would any feel compassion for him now, pleading with Wang Yu to help him.
A pitiable person often has a detestable side!
