Not long after Mrs. Mei set off from her hometown, Pei Yan and Mei Wanying received the news.
She was Mei Wanying's family, so of course, Pei Yan took it seriously.
'Even though he knew Mrs. Mei had fanned the flames of that incident, causing him to misunderstand Ah Yin and make a terrible mistake.'
'Ultimately, it was his own fault for not handling it well, for turning a simple matter into a complicated one.'
'Back then, since he had already married Ah Yin, he shouldn't have given her the cold shoulder. He shouldn't have been harsh with her when she risked everything to come to the Border.'
'The problems between them could have clearly been talked out.'
'All it would have taken was one honest, open conversation to resolve the barriers between them.'
'But his difficult personality had led him down a path that hurt them both.'
'In the end, it all led to a tragic outcome.'
