"Who else could it be but you? You brought me the soup, and after I drank it, I started to feel unwell. Later, I ended up consummating our marriage without even realizing it. There must be something fishy going on here!"

Zheng Lin was convinced that she had drugged him, and since the bowl of soup was still in the room, he planned to call a doctor to examine it. When Madam Zheng learned that the couple was having a fight, she had no choice but to tell the truth, saying that she had lit a special incense pill in the room, with the aim of making the couple consummate their marriage.

At this point, the truth came to light, and Zheng Lin realized that he had misunderstood Yu Chan.

Yu Chan was filled with shame and indignation. She had endured all the grievances over the years, but this time, Zheng Lin was furious with her and scolded her without any explanation. She couldn't bear it anymore, but she had nowhere to go. In a fit of anger, she came here to complain to her sister.

“Back then, none of you wanted me to marry him, fearing I would regret it one day. In the past two years, even though I have suffered a lot of grievances, I have never regretted it. Although he can't give me love, he at least gives me some care similar to that of family.”

But after this incident, he didn't even ask any questions before assuming that I had drugged him, and he said such hurtful things, as if consummating our marriage was a great disgrace, which really embarrassed me.

Perhaps in my eyes, this marriage was a dream come true, but in his eyes, it was a forced compromise, a source of unbearable pain!

At this point, Yu Chan's eyes were red from crying, and she finally admitted that she regretted it. "If I hadn't insisted on marrying him, I wouldn't have suffered such neglect."

Seeing her younger sister in such pain, Su Yushan was heartbroken.

“Silly girl, you should tell me if you’ve been wronged. Family will always be family. They won’t abandon you just because you’re stubborn, and they certainly won’t laugh at you. Marriage is rarely a matter of wishful thinking. You’ve tried and made an effort, so you have no regrets. If it’s really not right, it’s better to end it here and find a better person.”

Yu Chan was indeed very sad, but she didn't have the courage to start over. "But I've already married him, what can I do now? I can't just get a divorce, can I? People will gossip about that, and no one will marry me in the future."

"It's not as difficult as you think. In the capital, divorced women can still remarry. Besides, with Fourth Master's help, remarrying will be a piece of cake for you."

"That's true, but those who get divorced are still a minority. Even if someone is willing to marry me, it's only because of Fourth Master, not because they truly care about me."

Su Yushan desperately wanted to help her out of her predicament, but Yu Chan was ultimately a woman of ancient times; she believed that a woman had nowhere to go once divorced, and therefore lacked the courage to try. However, Zheng Lin remained unwilling to accept her, and her days grew increasingly agonizing, seemingly trapped in a dead end with no way out.

Seeing her sister in such distress, Yushan advised her not to think too much, to stay there for a few days to clear her head, and to make plans after she calmed down.

Yu Chan also wanted to spend more time with her sister, but she always had some concerns. "I can't stay here. If Fourth Master comes back and finds out that I'm staying here, he will definitely ask why."

"I'm already married, so there's no reason for me to stay at my sister's house anymore. If Fourth Master finds out that I had a falling out with Zheng Lin, he'll definitely assume that Zheng Lin hasn't let go of the past. Wouldn't that just cause you trouble, sister?"

Yu Chan didn't want to implicate her sister, but her eldest brother had just gotten married, and she wasn't familiar with her sister-in-law, so she felt embarrassed to go and bother her. Right now, the only person she knew was her second sister-in-law, so Yu Chan decided to go to Baozhen Tower to find her second sister-in-law and take refuge there temporarily.

Her younger sister insisted on leaving, and Yu Shan couldn't stop her, so she could only ask Yun Song to take her to Bao Zhen Lou.

Yu Shan was thinking of letting her younger sister stay at Jia Feng's house for a few days to calm down and see what her plans were. Unexpectedly, half an hour later, someone came to report that the young master of the Zheng family was outside the mansion looking for Yu Chan.

Zheng Lin's identity was somewhat special, so he didn't enter the mansion, but instead had someone announce his arrival from outside.

As luck would have it, just then, Hongli returned from the palace and saw Zheng Lin waiting at the gate of the mansion as soon as he got off the carriage.

Li Yu sighed inwardly, realizing something was amiss. He wondered what Young Master Zheng was doing at the mansion. Wasn't he deliberately trying to annoy Fourth Master?

With a slight narrowing of his eyes, Hongli, dressed in a robe adorned with a dragon motif, raised his chin slightly and strode forward with confident strides.
