The three Yu brothers surrounded Yu Shiwei, busy comforting her.

Xue Yirou, who had been freed from her restraints, clung tightly to Yu Weilan, cursing him incessantly as she became emotionally distraught.

"You must help me find the murderer. I want her to suffer a fate worse than death!"

"Who exactly harmed me? To be able to poison me without anyone noticing, someone close to me must be involved."

"Quickly gather them together! I need to interrogate them now and find the antidote!"

Yu Weilan's calm expression was almost indifferent: "I have already ordered the Shadow Guards to keep an eye on everyone serving you, so they can be interrogated and investigated at any time."

"The most important thing now is to find out exactly why you and Shi Wei lost your cultivation."

Seeing Yu Weilan's indifferent and ruthless face, Xue Yirou's anger reached the top of her head, and the taut string snapped, causing her to roar out.

"What else could it be?! It must be that bastard's doing!"

This is undoubtedly taking out one's anger on others.

Especially when she saw Yu Weilan's handsome face, which was as beautiful as a god, Xue Yirou felt a surge of inexplicable grievance and resentment.

Pointing at Yu Weilan, he launched into a tirade of irrational curses.

"I am your wife! Now I have suddenly encountered such a terrible thing, and my cultivation has been completely lost overnight. Why are you not sad at all? Why are you not worried at all?"

"Why do you still have that cold and ruthless face? People outside say you're a cold-faced demon, a merciless god of death. Do you really think you're a god without feelings or desires?"

"Since you are so heartless, why do you put your family first? Why do you bear the honor and future of the entire family? You might as well just be heartless and desireless, regard the world as nothing, sever all emotions and desires, and become a monk!"

Why are you so cold and heartless towards me, your wife who shares your bed?

"How can you face the love I gave you? You're always like this, calm, clear-headed, restrained, and heartless!"

"You don't show the same love and affection to your children as other fathers do, and you don't show the slightest tenderness or pampering to your wife. Your emotions are always under control, even to the point of being ruthless."

"I've been through such a terrible thing, why aren't you worried? Why don't you try to comfort me? Why aren't you even slightly moved? Are you even human?"

"Or did you never love me at all?"

The questions, filled with madness and resentment, were brimming with unwillingness, hatred, and grievance.

These words shattered the peaceful harmony between the couple and destroyed the elegant, hypocritical, gentle, and dignified mask that Xue Yirou had always strived to maintain as the matriarch of the household.

At first, she was like a girl experiencing her first love, falling in love with Yu Weilan at first sight and becoming even more devoted upon seeing him again.

I hope to spend my life with Yu Weilan.

From the moment she met Yu Weilan, she knew that she would become Yu Weilan's wife.

This man must be hers.

Later, she succeeded and married Yu Weilan as she wished.

This handsome, godlike figure was outstanding, noble, aloof, and cold-hearted.

His commanding presence and ruthless aura, emanating from within, captivated her completely.

But all of this that she loved and cherished became what she hated most after getting married!

Yu Weilan is still the same cold, arrogant, and aloof king who made her fall in love at first sight.

Just because she became Yu Weilan's wife and his closest person, she didn't treat her any differently or show her any tenderness or affection.

For so many years, she had never felt Yu Weilan's love for her.

Yu Weilan's emotions were always calm, without any ups or downs.

She wanted her husband's love, wanted his passionate response, and wanted him to be infatuated with her.

Despite being married for decades, Yu Weilan has never lost control of his emotions for her.

Yu Weilan would only calmly respect her rights and status as the mistress of the house, granting her the identity, wealth, and rights she deserved.

But he never gave her the love she wanted most!

He was not infatuated with her and did not disregard everything for her!

Yu Weilan's expression remained unchanged, his gaze calm and indifferent as he looked at her, even carrying a hint of displeasure and sternness.

"What's wrong with you? Do you even know who you are?"

“You are the legitimate daughter of a collateral branch of the Xue family, and the matriarch of my Yu family. You represent two top-tier powers.”

"Born into a noble family, with a powerful background and abundant resources, has cultivated your love-obsessed mind?"

"Don't you have anything else on your mind? All you know is love?"

"When I agreed to marry you, I told you that I wanted a matriarch who could stand on her own and support the whole family, not a naive little girl who only knew how to talk about love."

"I cannot give you the love, romance, and poetic beauty that an ordinary man can offer. I am the future head of the Yu family, and the family business will be the most important thing in my life."

"If we get married, I can only guarantee that as long as you can become a qualified matriarch and do everything that the matriarch of the Yu family should do, I will give you the greatest respect and rights, absolute honor and loyalty, and be devoted to you for life, never betraying you."

At this point, Yu Weilan's calm eyes became exceptionally sharp, as if they could see through all the darkness and unspeakable aspects hidden in Xue Yirou's heart.

“You said yourself that only little girls like love and romance. You are the eldest daughter of the Xue family and have been raised to be the heir since childhood. You like power and glory.”

"You also said that you don't mind that I focus on my family and career. The man you like should be ambitious and stand at a high point, looking down on the world."
