Mrs. Dong's face had turned as pale as paper, completely devoid of any color.
She hadn't expected her mother to reveal everything now. She even knew that her mother had become obsessed, deeply affected by the news of Side's death, otherwise how could she reveal such things?
"Mother, I know you're feeling miserable right now, but please don't ever speak of these things again. When I got married, you told me to keep these matters buried in my heart forever, never to tell anyone, as it concerned the reputation of the Dong family. But now, you're using these words to threaten me. I understand you're grieving for Side, but if these words get out, both I and the Dong Mansion would be ruined. Besides, Sister Ming hasn't married yet; she's about to be brought into the Prince Mansion. Do you really want to ruin her marriage too?" Mrs. Dong knew she had to mention Sister Ming to hold her mother back somewhat.
