He cherishes me, loves me, respects me, and values me. 0
 
He does not take concubines, visit brothels, or flirt with others. 0
 
He always uses his poor health as an excuse to refuse his mother's arrangements, staying by my side every day. 0
 
He has personally brewed medicine for me, styled my hair, and painted for me... 0
 
He worries that I might find it tiring to wake up early to pay my respects, so he instructs the servants not to call for me, allowing me to wake up whenever I please. 0
 
He fears that I might catch a chill from the cold, so he warms my bed himself... 0
 
He is concerned that I might be weighed down by the sorrow of losing a child, so he makes it his daily task to cheer me up... 0
 
He prioritizes me in everything. 0
 
He loves me, respects me, cherishes me... 0
 
I know he loves me. 0
 
Because true love is not just spoken; it is proven through actions! 0
 
So I have always believed in his love. 0
 
But now, I find myself feeling uncertain... 0
 
“Lin Han,” I said directly, looking him in the eye. “Are you hiding something from me?” 0
 
“A Jin,” he replied gently, gazing at me. “There have never been secrets between us.” 0
 
Is that so? 0
 
Then why do I feel there is a secret? 0
 
I scrutinized him closely. 0
 
 
He was dressed in official robes, exuding an air of authority, handsome and elegant... 0
 
Hmm? 0
 
Wait! 0
 
How could he have this scent? 0
 
I took a deep breath, trying to catch the fragrance that lingered around him. It was a faint yet distinct aroma. 0
 
This scent was no ordinary fragrance. 0
 
It was a woman's perfume! 0
 
In an instant, it dawned on me! 0
 
He had gone to meet that woman! 0
 
“Lin Han,” I said, staring intently at him. “Who did you meet today?” 0
 
“A Jin,” he replied, looking at me with confusion. “Who else could I meet?” 0
 
“Lin Han,” I continued to gaze at him firmly. “Don’t lie to me!” 0
 
“A Jin,” he chuckled. “Why would I lie to you? What nonsense are you talking about?” 0
 
Nonsense? 0
 
So he wasn’t planning to admit it, was he? 0
 
Fine. 0
 
After all, we were about to get a divorce. 0
 
What did it matter who he had met! 0
 
 
The next morning, Lin Han got up early. 0
 
He first kissed my forehead and then told me he had to handle official business and wouldn’t be back until late, urging me to rest at home. 0
 
I replied coldly, “Where are you going?” 0
 
He hesitated for a moment but still answered honestly, “Maple Grove Bay.” 0
 
Maple Grove Bay? 0
 
I remembered that the last time he met that woman was also at Maple Grove Bay, wasn’t it? 0
 
Could it be... 0
 
With that thought, I quickly got dressed and followed him out. 0
 
I handed some silver to a servant and asked him to take me there. 0
 
Thus, I followed the servant to a courtyard. 0
 
I saw Lin Han get off the carriage and push open the door. 0
 
Before long, a woman walked out of the courtyard. 0
 
She smiled as she approached Lin Han and took his hand... 0
 
Then the two of them entered the house together... 0
 
Seeing this scene, my heart ached fiercely! 0
 
So he really had a mistress! 0
 
And that woman was an absolute beauty! 0
 
With that thought, I turned and got back into the carriage. 0
 
 
The young servant quickly asked me, "Madam, should we go back?" 0
 
I glanced at him and replied, "Yes, let's go back." 0
 
So the servant drove the carriage back. 0
 
At that moment, Yao Dong sitting beside me suddenly spoke up, "Miss..." 0
 
Before she could finish her sentence, I interrupted her, "No need to say anything!" 0
 
Seeing my displeased expression, Yao Dong fell silent. 0
 
However, she whispered, "If you're feeling upset, perhaps you should tell Her Majesty the Queen." 0
 
Zhou Yunge is my Eldest Sister. 0
 
She is gentle and virtuous, noble and elegant, dignified and gracious... 0
 
Not only is she my Eldest Sister, but she is also the most esteemed woman in the realm—Her Majesty the Queen! 0
 
Yao Dong meant to suggest that Eldest Sister could help me vent my frustrations. 0
 
But I knew that when it came to matters of the heart, no one could truly lend a hand. 0
