Who likes to be watched over by so many people? At that time, I was making excuses for him, coaxing him in a low voice, and he didn’t even give me a glance.
Later, as night fell, my husband unhesitatingly pulled me in front of him. After hearing that voice speak to me, he trembled all over, repeatedly saying he hadn’t done anything wrong.
The wind was too loud; I thought I had misheard. People often speak their truest thoughts in times of crisis. Ah, those tears I shed during those days were truly wasted!
All this suspicion finally made me alert. I secretly sent someone to investigate, and indeed found out where his heart truly lay. He was infatuated with someone who had long since moved on and was already seeing others, even juggling several relationships at once.
Men can be quite particular about their tastes, and when the Men's Wedding Dress Case emerged, the already scarce beauty became highly sought after as soon as they made an appearance, living a rather lavish life.
I even met that person once; they knew my life was difficult and couldn’t bear to keep it from me. They said the Chen couple sent him to Meizhou City hoping that something would take him away. Even if he wasn’t taken away, the Chen family kept a tight watch, preventing my husband from entering the city.
They explained that the reason the Chen couple and my husband chose me was not only because my husband was desperate and happened to see me but also because I didn’t tarnish their family’s reputation; I came from a low background; my dowry could bring them a good profit; my parents were in Meizhou City, providing an excuse for not letting me return to my family; and my brothers were far away, with no one to support them if they were bullied.
Listen to this! A mere merchant girl like me has become a pawn for them to scheme against.
Butler Zhang had been silent, muttering about wanting the old couple to see this.
"Butler," I said, "my husband is missing!"
Zhang Linglong reminded us that Chen Xiucai disappeared under the layers of protection from the Zhang family. With just this point alone, if the Zhang family made a fuss, we wouldn’t have the upper hand.
What should we do? Clearly, our family has suffered losses; we can’t just let them continue making trouble.
Zhang Linglong fell silent; so far she had no methods either.
At that moment, Sang Qingxiao asked if I often sent things into the Chastity Tower.
Zhang Linglong scrutinized those before her; she had long sensed they were not ordinary people. Had they already investigated everything about me?
Not only did we investigate you but also those men who went missing before. Sang Qingxiao pushed some documents toward her. "Want to take a look?"
Zhang Linglong didn’t reach for them but asked, "Is it similar to what happened with my husband?"
There are many cases of husbands doting on their wives while mistreating concubines or even killing their wives—abuse and betrayal abound—but some men are innocent.
Before entering Meizhou City, we suspected someone used the Men's Wedding Dress Case to cover up their crimes. Therefore, it’s very likely that these innocent men who went missing or died were not victims of the true culprit behind the Wedding Dress Case.
Let’s focus on the scoundrel for now; we can compare others once we find the true culprit.
