Su Man was performing a sorrowful act, because she didn't want and surely couldn't bear the blame for Wen Yue's scalding today.
Why?
She feared that once Wen Siyuan found out, he might, in a fit of anger, propose divorce.
After all, she had taken a taxi alone to visit her relatives, leaving the three Wen sisters at home, which indeed was an improper thing to do. If Wen Siyuan seized on this to reason with her, she would truly struggle to defend herself.
"Auntie Su, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have angered you, I know it was wrong, please don't be sad anymore, I promise I won't lose my temper again."
Wen Yue walked out of the room and now stood in front of Mrs. Qi and Su Man, tears welling up in her eyes as she spoke in a tender voice, "It wasn't your fault I scalded my hand with hot water today, Auntie Su, it was my own carelessness, you don't have to blame yourself."
