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