Too many things were weighing on her mind. Hua Nuan carefully analyzed the fable, then tugged at the corner of her lips.
"The Farmer and the Snake is all about saying that good intentions don't always bring good results. Hmm... I understand. He's saying that Dad's kindness wasn't reciprocated, he offered his benevolence but was bitten back, resulting in his demise... Is that right?"
Huo Zun looked at Hua Nuan, eyes brightening, then pressed his lips together and replied, "Mm."
On the surface, that's exactly what the fable is about.
"Dad helped many people, and Hua Dong was one of them. But Hua Dong probably wouldn't compare himself to the snake; for someone as supremely confident as him, it would be self-deprecating. So this snake must be someone else—a person whom Dad once helped, saved even... and then that person turned on Dad, causing his death..."
Hua Nuan tried her best to calm herself while analyzing everything.
