Since true feelings can lead a person to such a state of despair, what use is such sincerity?
I don't want it anymore!
The next day, I sent Yao Dong back to Duke's Residence.
She found my elder brother, Wen Yunqi, and asked him to send a guard to assist me.
The guard's name was A Si.
In our childhood, we were like siblings.
Later, he joined the military to serve the court.
A Si is a good person.
He understood that I had asked him to investigate Lin Han's mistress and readily agreed to help.
A few days later, A Si brought back news.
The woman's name was Shen Ning.
In her childhood, she was Lin Han's neighbor.
She had always harbored feelings for Lin Han.
Later, in an attempt to prevent Lin Han from marrying me, his mother deliberately sent her to Lin Han's bed.
Lin Han initially wanted to kill her but gave up under his mother's threats of suicide.
Eventually, Shen Ning became pregnant.
Lin Han's mother demanded that he take her as a concubine.
However, Lin Han consistently refused to agree.
In the end, he brought Shen Ning back to the capital but kept her hidden away.
When A Si revealed all of Shen Ning's information to me, the last flicker of affection I had for Lin Han finally extinguished...
From that day on, my attitude towards Lin Han grew cold.
Yet, he seemed unfazed.
Every day, he continued to treat me with the same kindness as before.
I even began to doubt whether he had truly done anything wrong to me.
However, just as I was gradually lowering my guard against him, I found out I was pregnant!
When the physician delivered the news, Lin Han appeared overjoyed!
This left me utterly confused!
After all, I had just discovered his affair; how could he be so happy?
Unless... he was putting on an act!
With that thought, my suspicions about his motives deepened!
So, I had Yao Dong take the leftover medicine to a doctor for examination, only to find that it had been laced with Musk!
It turned out he never wanted me to get pregnant at all!
The reason he didn't want me to get pregnant was that he wanted that woman to bear his child!
No wonder that woman's child is already five years old!
It turns out he planned to deceive me from the very beginning!
In this moment, I finally saw his true colors!
He never loved me at all!
He merely wanted to use me to take revenge on his mother!
Because he knew his mother was determined to have him marry that woman!
And he married me just to anger his mother!
That's why he kept delaying taking that woman as a concubine!
Once he took her as a concubine, he would have to have children with her!
He was also afraid that I would want children just like that woman, so he drugged me...
Ha!
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 got pregnant, Lin Han has become increasingly attentive towards me.
Yet he did not know that my health was deteriorating day by day...
To take care of my condition, he even personally went to the palace to request the Emperor to send Doctor Ying to look after me during my pregnancy...
Although the Emperor teased him for being a "henpecked husband," he still lent him the imperial physician...
While in the palace, the other ladies were quite envious of me for having such a good husband...
But I did not see it as a blessing...
Three months into my pregnancy, I suddenly expressed my desire to go to Maple Grove Bay's temple to pray for the child...
Lin Han initially disagreed...
He said my health was poor and feared that I would tire myself out...
However, after my repeated pleas, he ultimately agreed...
But he insisted that 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...
