So she made a snap decision and decided to make Chi Jingyu infertile as well, thus solving the problem once and for all.

To come up with this method, it must be said that Shen Xiwei is truly ruthless, directly causing the Marquis's family to be wiped out.

It seems that this couple eventually drifted apart, and even came to hate each other.

She was actually looking forward to seeing how Chi Jingyu would react when he found out about this.

——

Chi Jingyu returned home late at night with a furrowed brow.

He couldn't understand how the Third Prince could have died.

Clearly, in his previous life, until he was granted the titles of nobility and prime minister, the other party was still alive and well.

The feeling of things spiraling out of control again made him acutely aware of the crisis. He thought he had been given a second chance and that everything should go smoothly for him.

But that's not the case.

That night, he encountered the Fourth Prince. The moment he sensed the prince's murderous intent, he proposed a deal. Otherwise, he would probably be dead.

Feeling irritated, Chi Jingyu returned to her room and was about to enter the inner room when she sensed someone there. Her eyes narrowed: "Who's there?"

Behind the curtain, Shen Xiwei, dressed only in a thin gauze dress, lifted the curtain and looked over: "The young master has finally returned."

Her makeup today was unusually different. Usually, she preferred a fresh and refined look, but today she was dressed in a charming and alluring way. She had a floral decoration on her forehead and half-open spider lilies drawn at the corners of her eyes, their red color dazzling.

Chi Jingyu's brow furrowed, his expression unreadable: "Why did you come here?"

Shen Xiwei's eyes dimmed slightly, her red lips pursed, and she said with some grievance, "Since the young master does not wish to see me, I have no choice but to come and apologize."

Chi Jingyu walked around her and went inside, her tone indifferent: "I'm tired, I don't have time to play these games with you."

A hint of sadness flashed in her eyes as she slowly stepped forward and hugged him from behind, her voice trembling with tears: "I was wrong before, but I cared about you too much, didn't I? Ziheng, won't you forgive me?"

Chi Jingyu remained silent, pondering. He and Shen Xiwei had been together for many years, and it was impossible for him to have no feelings for each other.

But he hated her even more for deceiving him time and time again.

Incense was burning in the room, and the smell was somewhat sweet and cloying, making people feel drowsy.

Her nimble fingertips hooked onto his belt, and he ultimately did not push her away.

...

In bed, Chi Jingyu remained silent, his attitude consistently lukewarm.

Shen Xiwei gazed at his silent, closed-eye expression, her eyes revealing a complex mix of love and hate. She traced the contours of his face inch by inch with her fingertips.

She hated him as much as she loved him.

Since he had provoked her, he still had other women in his heart, and even ignored her after she miscarried.

Shen Xiwei's lips slowly curved into a mocking smile.

She's already in hell, so how can he possibly escape unscathed?
