Chapter 256: Starting to Feel Sorry for Him

She was no longer the Shao He of old; she had long become numb to such threats.

Shao He calmly shook off Old Madam Shen's arm, "The affairs of the Marquis Pingnan's Mansion have nothing to do with me. Old Madam Shen should seek help elsewhere. As for the child, I will definitely not give him to you."

"You…"

Old Madam Shen's face turned livid; she hadn't expected to be rejected by a junior.

She took several deep breaths to suppress her inner fury before easing her tone, "Shao He, do you realize the child has no future with you? Do you really want him to suffer with you forever?"

Shao He sneered, "Thank you for your concern, Old Madam Shen, but I don't need my child to be noble. As long as he is safe, happy, and healthy, that's enough for me."

The underlying meaning was that no matter what Old Madam Shen said, the child would never be given to her.

Her words were like a dagger to the heart; Old Madam Shen was so enraged she almost spat blood.
