Seeing this, Princess Ningyang felt a deep sense of helplessness.
One was her own daughter, the other her legitimate maternal grandson.
Both were her own flesh and blood.
She couldn't bear to lose either of them and wanted to protect them both.
But things refused to go her way. The mother-son bond between Princess Rouwan and Li Ji was almost completely shattered.
Even though she tried her best to mediate, she still couldn't get the mother and son to reconcile.
Princess Ningyang was already very old.
Even though she had aged gracefully, her face still bore many fine lines, her hair was streaked with gray, and her irises were a bit faded.
She heaved a long sigh, her voice full of helplessness and world-weariness.
"Forget it. From now on, try not to return to the Duke Zhen Country Mansion so often. Perhaps after some time, your mother will come to her senses. Then you two can have a proper talk."
Li Ji was noncommittal.
