Jiang Shi Ning froze, she did not expect Qiao Huize would suddenly perform such a big courtesy.

        In her eyes, Qiao Huize is not at all wrong, and why does he need her forgiveness? Qiao Huize was extremely protective of her in his last life, because of their mother-son bond, he was even unable to break through his state of mind to cross the tribulation. He was also extremely filial in his last life, and they depended on each other. He has been alone for so long that it is normal for him not to accept living with others.

        In the modern world, many people whose parents have divorced and remarried can't adapt to their step-siblings and step-father or step-mother for the rest of their lives, let alone a situation where they suddenly learn that their own mother, whom they haven't seen for a long time, actually has many other children? So Jiang Shi Ning didn't blame him at all.

        "Xiao Ze, you have done nothing wrong, no need to apologize to me." Jiang Shi Ning said helplessly, "You get up first."

        When Qiao Huize heard that Jiang Shi Ning did not blame him, his chest hurt even more. He only cared about his own feelings before, taking the liberty of thinking that staying away in order not to hurt her other children was a right and just thing to do, but he hadn't considered Jiang Shi Ning's feelings at all.

        How selfish and self-serving.

        But Jiang Shi Ning still didn't blame him, she would always understand his feelings and put herself in his shoes. This made Qiao Huize feel ashamed and more upset for a while. Qiao Huize had a guilty conscience and refused to get up, Jiang Shi Ning could not let him stay on his knees, she clasped the back of his collar, forced her wrist, and lifted the man up.

        Suddenly feeling the extraordinary strength of his mother, Qiao Huize's eyes widened. He seemed like an adult cat who was caught and picked up by the back of the neck. His eyes were still flooded with disbelief.1

        "Times are different, and you don't need to kneel to me." Jiang Shi Ning said soothingly, "Sit down over here, tell me what exactly happened properly."

        When the two sat down, Qiao Huize lowered his eyelashes but couldn't speak again. He was already not good at talking, and even worse at expressing himself. How could this make him express his feelings.

        "It's just that ...... figured out some things." He said in a low voice. At this moment, there wasn't any shadow of the fluent Professor Qiao in his body at all. Qiao Huize slightly lowered his head and said in an inaudible voice, " I suddenly felt that I was really excessive before, thinking only of myself but not of your feelings, so ......"

        That's why he came to apologize.

        Jiang Shi Ning was both relieved and heartbroken. The status of Qiao Huize is probably the most detached one in all her sons, after her death, he succeeded in crossing the tribulation, basically has brushed off the seven emotions and six desires. Now it is surprising that he can reflect to such a point, as if he was dragged back to the human world from the sky, so that he can feel the torture and pain once again before he can be thoroughly enlightened.

        "How did you think about opening up?" Jiang Shi Ning gently patted his back.

        Qiao Huize's eyelashes trembled, but he didn't move. He seemed to hesitate. On his face, which had been cold for thousands of years, surprisingly also showed fear and shivering, yet it was only for a fleeting moment. Even though he was worried like this, he still opened his mouth obediently.

        "Because ...... Chou Jing Yuan went to S City to look for me."

        "What?" Jiang Shi Ning froze.

        Qiao Huize's head was getting lower and lower.

        "He came to me, fought with me, and rebuked me before I came to my senses."3

        "When did that happen?" Jiang Shi Ning was a little surprised.

        Qiao Huize reported the time, and Jiang Shi Ning was even more surprised. When she viewed these children in her heart, even though they had grown into adults, in her own heart, they were still children. But at this moment, Jiang Shi Ning felt so strongly for the first time that Jing Yuan had really grown up.

        He is not that irritable and sensitive boy anymore, nor is he gloomy and harsh. His heart has become mature and broad-minded. Jiang Shi Ning was worried at first that he wouldn't be able to accept the other children, but now, Jing Yuan had actually done so many things privately and kept quiet on the surface.

        If not for Qiao Huize, Jiang Shi Ning would never have known what Jing Yuan had done in his life.

        Jing Yuan is really an indomitable man.

      When Qiao Huize saw Jiang Shi Ning whose eyes seemed to be praising Jing Yuan, that look seemed to burn his heart. He breathed softly, but looked away.

        He had already decided to set things right, so he was also willing to bear the pain and sadness.

        "I really did something wrong." Qiao Huize lowered his eyelashes as he said in a low voice.

        "What did you do?" Jiang Shi Ning looked at him.

        Qiao Huize wanted to say something, he didn't know if Jiang Shi Ning would have any hard feelings towards him after telling the truth, but he didn't want to lie to her.

        "He came to find me for a sword duel." Qiao Huize said dryly, "If it wasn't for Chou Jing Yuan's brother suddenly appearing and helping him block it, I might have seriously injured him."

        Jiang Shi Ning froze.

        "What did you say?"

        Qiao Huize's head hung even lower.

        "I still caused him to get hurt." He said in a hoarse voice, "I can't deny that I moved to kill in that moment."

After being enraged by Jing Yuan, he seemed to have gone off the deep end and was filled with the desire to make Jing Yuan disappear. It was Jing Xuan who took his attack, giving Qiao Huize a chance to calm down.

        Otherwise, that moment of hot-headedness would have caused extremely serious consequences.

        These were irrefutable facts.

        "You--" Jiang Shi Ning didn't know what to say for a moment.

        She knew Qiao Huize as well as Jing Yuan, and with just a few words from Qiao Huize, she was able to fully restore what happened at that time.

        Jing Yuan must have provoked Qiao Huize, and Qiao Huize really attacked him.

        Jiang Shi Ning's brain was a mess, she didn't know whether to be angry with Jing Yuan or Qiao Huize first. The first thing that happened was that Qiao Huize really moved to kill Jing Yuan, and with his level, if Jing Xuan hadn't done something, Jing Yuan would have been miserable.
