When I opened the letter, I was shocked to learn that my son Feng Sen had passed away in April. Looking back on my son who saw me off in tears before, I never thought it would be our father and son's farewell forever. Ouch! Non-success only gave birth to such a son, and we won't have a derivative heir! Shi Zhuotang listened, but also sighed. Later, he gave me a concubine and returned to the dream of spring. Things have been chaotic since then, and I don't know when I will wake up!
