Mrs. Shen's tears welled up in her eyes. Seeing her most beloved younger daughter speak to her like this broke her heart into a thousand pieces.
"Lulu...." she choked out, trying to say something, but her voice caught in her throat, and she couldn't continue.
"The way I ended up like this today, you have an inescapable responsibility. I don't blame you. I've just had bad luck. It's my own doing. I deserve it," Shen Lu said softly, her eyes filled with tears.
"Lulu..." Mrs. Shen's heart wrenched in pain.
"Mom, I don't blame you, but please, can you stop hurting me?"
"...."
"Please, have some mercy."
"...."
"My sister is blessed by the heavens, that's why she will be happy. I, on the other hand, deserve my fate for my sins," Shen Lu said with deep self-deprecation. "If you feel sorry for me, don't cause such humiliating scenes at my wedding. Brother Hechen is my brother-in-law. Didn't you see how happy he is now with my sister? That's what mutual affection really looks like."
