In that moment, I finally saw his true colors! 0
 
It turned out he never loved me at all! 0
 
He merely wanted to use me to take revenge on his mother! 0
 
Because he knew that his mother was determined to have him marry that woman! 0
 
And he married me just to make his mother angry! 0
 
That's why he kept delaying taking that woman as a concubine! 0
 
Once he took her as a concubine, he would have to bear children with her! 0
 
He was afraid that I would want children just like that woman, so he drugged me with Musk... 0
 
Lin Han, oh Lin Han! 0
 
You really know how to scheme! 0
 
Since that's the case, I’ll play along with you! 0
 
Ever since I became pregnant, Lin Han has been increasingly attentive to me. 0
 
But little did he know, my health was deteriorating day by day... 0
 
To take care of my well-being, he even personally went to the palace to ask the Emperor for permission to let Imperial Physician Ying look after my pregnancy... 0
 
Although the Emperor teased him for being a "henpecked husband," he still lent him the imperial physician... 0
 
While in the palace, those ladies were all envious of me for having such a good husband... 0
 
 
But I didn't feel that this was a blessing at all... 0
 
Three months into my pregnancy, I suddenly suggested going to Maple Grove Bay's temple to pray for the child... 0
 
Lin Han initially disagreed... 0
 
He said my health wasn't good and was worried I would tire myself out... 0
 
However, after my repeated pleas, he finally agreed... 0
 
But he insisted we wait until my condition stabilized before going together... 0
 
Yet, after he left the capital to handle the dam collapse in Jiangnan, I decided to go to Maple Grove Bay alone... 0
 
Because I was already five months pregnant... 0
 
I wanted to see that woman and his child with my own eyes... 0
 
So on the morning of the sixth day of October, I took Yao Dong with me to Maple Grove Bay... 0
 
At Lingfo Temple there, I saw that woman and his child... 0
 
The woman's name was Shen Ning... 0
 
She was kneeling before the Buddha statue, praying for their family of three to be reunited soon... 0
 
Then she took out a red ribbon and tied it to a tree... 0
 
Seeing this, I walked over... 0
 
 
I saw a line written above: "If love can last for a long time, why bother with the morning and evening?" 0
 
And that line was in Lin Han's handwriting! 0
 
In an instant, everything became clear to me! 0
 
It turned out he had been deceiving me all along! 0
 
So on the morning of October 14th, I asked Yao Dong to invite Lin Han over... 0
 
Before long, Lin Han arrived. 0
 
Seeing my pale face, he hurried over. 0
 
"A Jin," he said anxiously, "are you feeling unwell?" 0
 
I remained silent. 0
 
He quickly turned to Yao Dong and asked, "What happened to your young lady?" 0
 
Yao Dong glanced at him but did not respond. 0
 
Lin Han's expression darkened. "I'm asking you a question!" 0
 
Yao Dong trembled in fear and quickly knelt down. "Groom, please forgive me. I... I don't know." 0
 
"Don't know, don't know," Lin Han said as he looked at her. "I thought you were competent, but it turns out you're useless!" 0
 
As he spoke, he reached out to grab Yao Dong, but I stopped him with a firm hand. 0
 
 
“Lin Han,” I said, looking at him. “What are you doing?” 0
 
Upon hearing me speak, Lin Han released his grip. 0
 
He looked at me and asked, “A Jin, did this girl upset you?” 0
 
I remained silent. 0
 
I simply turned my head to the side. 0
 
“A Jin,” he pulled me into his embrace again and said softly, “If you truly dislike this girl, I can find you someone else…” 0
 
Yao Dong is my maidservant. 0
 
She is loyal to me and treats me sincerely. 0
 
She is the only person, aside from my family, who has been good to me. 0
 
How could I allow anyone to bully her? 0
 
“Lin Han,” I replied coolly, “Yao Dong hasn’t done anything wrong. The one at fault is you!” 0
 
“A Jin,” he looked at me with a puzzled expression. “Where did I go wrong?” 0
 
Indeed. 0
 
He has never been wrong. 0
