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