She paused, then said, "The issues from years ago resurfaced, and I never intended to destroy you or marry you, let alone think about things I shouldn't. I just wanted to quietly raise Xiao Nian, watch him get married and have children, and quietly live my life. I've disrupted your life, but haven't you disrupted mine as well? It was you who insisted on marrying me, which led to the suffering among the three of us. You didn't have to marry me, and your parents might not have necessarily forced Xiao Nian to stay. It was your choice. If it turns out to be a mistake, don't blame me. Don't blame me for everything happening now either. I'm innocent; I don't want to bear the humiliation from you and Zhao Yuning, making it seem as though I am the main culprit. In the end, between two women, it's always the man's fault. This all is your fault; don't blame anyone else."
