1225 Forgive Him, and Forgive Yourself
Madam sneered and rolled her eyes at Old Master.
“Good people don’t live long, while evil people live for a thousand years. Old farts!”
Old Master was speechless.
Perhaps it was because he had been despised and ridiculed by Madam recently, he didn’t have any face in front of the juniors.
The Old Master finally mustered his courage and said weakly, “You’re not young anymore too...”
Madam pushed the Old Master to the side.
“There are young ones everywhere. Go and find her! Qiu Shuyu is young. Hurry and let her out! Let her out and I guarantee that you will die quickly!”
The Old Master didn’t dare to say a word.
Instead, he smiled. “Why are you talking about such nonsense again? I want to die, but I can’t let go of you, right?”
However, Madam did not fall for this...
She continued to sneer. “Haha, Qiu Shuyu has lived with you for decades. You abandoned her just like that. As expected, you didn’t become scum when you were old, but instead, you’re a scumbag who became old!”
The Old Master could only smile awkwardly.
He explained to Su Yanyun, “Your grandmother has a sharp tongue but a soft heart. Don’t mind her...”
Su Yanyun was already used to Madam and Old Master’s interactions.
The Old Master had always felt guilty towards Madam.
As for Madam, although she hated the Old Master on the surface, she couldn’t watch him die.
Actually, she had always been a stubborn but soft-hearted person.
Back when they had just met on the island, she had also said all sorts of nasty things, but once she really treated someone as one of her own, she wished she could dig out her heart to give to them.
The Old Master seemed to have made up his mind about Qiu Shuyu.
The last time Su Yanyun visited him, he had already told Su Yanyun alone.
“Yanyun, when I was young, I was really a bastard...” The Old Master sighed. “Because the marriage with Mengxia was arranged by the family, if I didn’t marry her, I might not have been able to become the family head. So I always felt that being with her was not true love.”
“Sigh... I don’t know why I was so rebellious at that time. I kept feeling that I had sacrificed a lot to become the family head, so I hated Mengxia.”
“After doing those things, I also asked myself repeatedly if I had done something wrong?”
“But people... always have to find all sorts of excuses to cover up their mistakes. At that time, I was proud and always thought that I was right. I couldn’t do anything wrong...”
“But Yanyun, a mistake is a mistake. Actually, Qiu Shuyu and I haven’t been doing well all these years. Every time we encounter something bad, I will think of Mengxia’s good deeds back then. Mengxia is a person who stands aloof from worldly affairs. Although she doesn’t know how to speak nicely, her heart is really not bad. But Qiu Shuyu... Sigh...”
“Why did I always tolerate Qiu Shuyu’s evil deeds? In the end, it’s just because I refuse to admit my mistakes.”
“But now... I...”
...
When Su Yanyun walked out of the ward, she realized that Madam was standing outside.
She must have heard the Old Master’s words.
“Madam.” Su Yanyun called her gently.
“In the future, call me whatever you want.” Madam lowered her head and only said this without rhyme or reason.
However, Su Yanyun understood immediately.
In the end, Madam still forgave Old Master, right?
What she meant was that if Yanyun was willing, she could call her Grandma.
In this world, it is difficult to hate someone.
But forgiveness was easy.
Forgive that person would mean forgiving herself, and telling herself that all those years, she actually... didn’t miss out on anyone.
