The old madam looked at her calmly. "If you have anything to say, say it. You don't have to kneel to me. I can't afford it."
Then, she said to Aunt Fang, "Help her up. She's already old. She shouldn't torture herself anymore."
This time, Madam Xiao's kneeling didn't soften the old madam's heart. She didn't want her grandson to suffer any more grievances.
"Shuman, I'm not blaming you. You can walk the path you chose. Our Xia family will let you go. However, I have to tell you that someone wants to make a fool of our Xia family, and I can't allow her to be impudent."
Madam Li knew that she was talking about her and wanted to interrupt. However, she heard the old madam say calmly, "What kind of friends have you made? What path you take is your own business. It has nothing to do with our Xia family. Don't come back in the future, and don't bring people who have nothing to do with our Xia family back either.
