After coming downstairs for some tea, Grandpa Tang bathed and changed. Then, the old couple sat together in the living room, tending to their orchids. "Don't you dare tell our son," Grandma Tang said. "I'm not planning on stopping by their place on this trip."
Grandpa Tang, who was carefully wiping the orchid leaves, paused. "Not tell Qingyun? You're traveling so far. Shouldn't he at least be there to look after you?"
Grandma Tang snorted. "Have him look after me? I'll be lucky if he doesn't kill me with rage! I knew long ago he was a heartless boy. The moment he got a wife, he forgot his own mother. If it had been any other woman he married without telling me, I could have stood it. But it just had to be Wu Xiaowen, the daughter of Wu Yu Xuan and Lin Aizhen! Isn't that just a knife to my heart? This illness of mine... more than half of it is from the frustration and anger he's caused me!"
