The Bao Family's matriarch slapped Da Gouzi across the face, "He is your father, he wronged the Northern Land, wronged the Prince and Princess, wronged Shili Village, but he has never wronged you, never wronged our family."
Tears streamed endlessly down Da Gouzi's face.
"You did the right thing," Ma Erlang finally let his tears fall too. When he knew that it was the Bao Family's matriarch who had betrayed him, his hatred for her was bone-deep. But now, he didn't hate anymore; she had done the right thing. The life he'd led was like walking on the blade of a knife, and it was only a matter of time before his identity would be exposed and he'd be plunged into hell. His death was no big deal; after all, these years in the North Country, he had lived worse than pigs and dogs. The people of the North Country looked down on him and took out their anger on him whenever they pleased.
