"Hao, help , please, I don’t want to die! I didn’t see anything! ngjie, I beg you, don’t kill , don’t kill !" Li Wanying suddenly scread, rushing into the arms of the Shangguan matriarch, trembling violently. The look in her eyes as she gazed at Lin ngjie and Zhuge Feng was one of sheer terror.
"What on earth is going on, Wanying? Tell , what happened? Why do they want to kill you?" The Shangguan matriarch scanned the n and won in the room, her tone sowhat heavy. She had always found Wanying displeasing, and now she finally had the opportunity to drive her out openly.
"I saw so things I shouldn’t have, so they want to kill . If you had been any later, I might never have seen you all again. BOO HOO."
"What are you talking about? What did you see?"
"I saw this man frequently entering ngjie’s room during the dayti. One day, I happened to overhear so noises, so I went to take a look. I never expected to discover them... them, in broad daylight, in the room! Afterward, I didn’t dare speak of it and only ntioned it to ngjie in secret, but she ignored . I had no idea that just now, when I ca to see her, I’d catch them together again. They even said the child was theirs! Then they spotted , and she said she would make disappear from this world forever. It’s such a relief you ca; otherwise, I don’t know if I would have left here alive today."
As Li Wanying spoke, she sneaked peeks at Shangguan Hao’s expression while also secretly observing Lin ngjie. She couldn’t believe that Shangguan Hao could tolerate it after Lin ngjie had made such a cuckold of him.
She had always kept silent about Lin ngjie’s affair, waiting for the right mont. Now that she finally had it, she would ensure ngjie was finished this ti.
The expected explosion of anger didn’t co. Everyone was quiet, except for the Shangguan matriarch, who unleashed a tirade of furious insults at Lin ngjie. The others just listened and observed silently.
"What an unfortunate family! I never expected this. A perfectly good household has been mired in scandal and sha ever since you married into it! BOO HOO! You’ve utterly disgraced the Shangguan Family! Get out of the Shangguan Family! We have no place for a daughter-in-law who brings us such disgrace." The Shangguan matriarch began to curse like a fishwife. Li Wanying shrank into a corner. Since all eyes in the room were off her, she carefully took out a small bottle and emptied its contents into a water bottle.
With a gentle shake, she watched the substance disappear into the water and finally breathed a sigh of relief, putting the empty bottle back in its place. Having done this, she obediently stood in the background, watching the scene unfold. The first to break were Lin ngjie’s father and brother. Hearing their daughter, their sister, being so harshly insulted by the Shangguan matriarch, they couldn’t take it anymore and burst out in angry protest, "A divorce! The child will be ours." After uttering those furious words, Lin ngjie’s father and brother were about to take Lin ngjie and Shangguan You away.
However, they were stopped by Shangguan Zhi, who wouldn’t allow them to take anyone. No matter what had happened, or the circumstances, the mother and daughter were still mbers of the Shangguan Family. They were not allowed to leave until the truth was ascertained. Moreover, Shangguan Hao also disagreed. No matter what Li Wanying said, he didn’t believe her, and he didn’t want a divorce.
Shangguan Hao stared blankly at his daughter, who was smiling at him from his arms. He didn’t believe what Li Wanying had said. Yet, when he tried to support Lin ngjie, she flatly refused his help. She preferred Zhuge Feng’s presence and was clearly unwilling to let Shangguan Hao near.
"There’s no need to argue anymore. The child is Xuan’s and mine. Let’s get a divorce. Xuan, please see the guests out for . I’m tired. Dad, Brother, you should also go back and rest. Don’t bother with these lowly people; it’s beneath us."
Lin ngjie spoke gently. Perhaps it had been a mistake from the very beginning.
"Jiejie, I know you’re angry with , but there’s really nothing between her and . Even if you’re angry, can you bear to let our child be born without a father?" Shangguan Hao’s anguished voice rang out. He knew Lin ngjie was saying this deliberately, but did she have any idea how much her words pained him?
"This child is my child too. What you can’t do, I can. I will take good care of the mother and child." For so reason, Zhuge Feng felt an inexplicable surge of joy upon hearing Lin ngjie’s words. He snatched the child from Shangguan Hao’s arms and placed the baby beside Lin ngjie.
From this day forward, he could openly appear beside ngjie and the child. And today, when he made his entrance, he was already in disguise. No one would recognize him as Zhuge Feng. This way, he could openly remain here as Ouyang Xuan to care for ngjie and their child.
The events that followed all went according to Li Wanying’s plan. She didn’t know the true identity of the mysterious person who was helping her. Two days after Zhuge Feng appeared, he had to leave Lin ngjie’s side to attend to so matters, and Lin ngjie ended up consuming the substance Li Wanying had administered.
Moreover, she later inadvertently learned that not only had Lin ngjie consud the substance she had given her, but that mysterious person had also added other substances, leaving Lin ngjie in a state akin to a living death.
With Lin ngjie’s proud nature, she would never allow herself to go back; she was equally unwilling to forgive Shangguan Hao’s betrayal. The day of Shangguan Hao’s betrayal was like a journey through the Ghost Gate for Lin ngjie; therefore, she would never forgive him.
Lin ngjie stayed in the hospital for a whole month. No matter how Shangguan Hao pleaded or tried to explain, she never spoke another word to him. She treated Shangguan Hao as a stranger, unwilling even to spare him a glance. Lin ngjie refused to return to the Shangguan Family, and the Shangguan Family also refused to let her return to the Lin Family, so she remained in the hospital, going nowhere.
Within that month, Li Wanying discovered she was pregnant. anwhile, because of Lin ngjie, the Shangguan Family and the Lin Family beca enemies, their relationship completely deteriorating. Furthermore, with the evidence held by the Li Family and assistance from the mysterious individual, the Shangguan Family was pushed into a desperate corner.
The Lin Family also faced various troubles, as the Li Family had secretly made many moves against them, leaving the Lin Family too preoccupied to concern themselves with Lin ngjie.
The Shangguan Family, having no other recourse after Shangguan Hao married Li Wanying, beca closely allied with the Li Family. Shangguan Zhi, who had locked himself in his room for days and nights, seed to age several years. In the end, he reached an agreent with the Lin Family. He consented to the divorce, but on the condition that the child, being of Shangguan blood, must remain with the Shangguan Family. Furthermore, the Lin Family was forbidden from seeing the child whenever they wished; they were only permitted visits on specific, designated days each year.
