Every word pierced the heart, every sentence was from the depths of the soul.
It almost sounded like there was some truth to it. The simple minded Liu Yiyi had actually believed her lies.
"You!" Upon hearing this, Liu Yiyi exclaimed, "Is... is all this true?"
"Of course it's true!" Madam Liu eagerly raised her hand and said, "I swear, if I speak a word of falsehood, may I be struck by lightning when I leave the house. If you don't believe me, I... I can swear on my most beloved son. If I'm lying, may my son not die a good death!"
"Don't..." Liu Yiyi hastily stopped her oath, saying, "Never mind, I believe you!"
"Yiyi, good girl, you must never tell your father about this," Madam Liu pleaded with Liu Yiyi, "Otherwise, he will be very heartbroken. It's alright if he drives me away; after all, my death is no loss. But I don't want your father to be heartbroken."
"Mm!" Liu Yiyi nodded and said, "But after this, don't continue betraying my father. He's such a good man!"
