"So the child died, was your husband very heartbroken?" Tangmo asked tentatively.
"I didn't mean to... I could have taken good care of him, I... I..." Mentioning the heartbreaking part, Fei Yu was unable to continue as she was overwhelmed by tears.
"May I ask how the child died?" Tangmo asked cautiously after a moment of silence.
"He... he was by his husband's... father..." Fei Yu seemed very hesitant to mention this, overwhelmed with sorrow, yet instinctively shut her mouth.
"Killed by his husband's father... I think I understand..." Tangmo murmured to himself, nodding.
"When did your child's death happen?" After a pause, Tangmo continued.
"About two months ago..." Fei Yu said, regretting again, "It just happened, and yet I was still negligent, I really am an incompetent mother..."
"Don't say that, it must have been really tough just you and the child at home." Tangmo comforted her.
