"Also, I've now taken over the Xiahou Family, and many people think I did it for that old man. But in truth, I did it also to repay your kindness. I know you wouldn't want to see the Xiahou Family trampled underfoot."
Sheng Siyuan stood before this tombstone and, for the first time, voiced the real reason he had taken on the mess of the Xiahou Family.
What was Xiahou Yi anyway?
He was just someone who was particularly bad at managing his family.
True, he was successful at governing the lands, but in terms of managing his home, he was a complete failure. His own son and daughter-in-law, out of fear of him, didn't even dare to tell him that one of their twin boys had a heart condition.
They kept it hidden, cautiously avoiding the issue.
In the end, that led to Chu Yan's distortion and also to Xiahou Xiu's death.
Isn't that a tragedy?
And there was the Xiahou Jingmu family; he thought that by raising Xiahou Jingmu from a young age, he was doing him a favor.
