"How should I know?" the old Duke asked.
Madam Yan suddenly collapsed to the ground, sobbing, "That day on the outing, we were both young. I saw you before my sister saw you."
"He came galloping over on a fast horse, looking heroic and dressed in a dark red outfit."
"Yes, I admit, I fell in love with you at first sight."
"Because my sister was walking on the outermost edge, and when you rode past on horseback, the mud splashed by your horse's hooves splashed onto her dress, that's when you first spoke to each other."
"Do you know that I was secretly watching you while you were talking to your sister?"
"I didn't dare look at you too long, I only dared to take a quick peek. When you got on your horse and left, I was afraid of being discovered by others, so I only dared to take a quick peek at your receding figure from a distance."
"I'll be delighted to see you again at the Flower Festival in half a month."
"Even just seeing you from afar was enough to make me excited for a long time. That was the day I heard that you had a lover."
"My heart suddenly turned cold, yet excited. I was looking forward to the day of the outing, when you would not only see your sister, but also see me."
"But what I didn't expect was that you said your beloved was my sister and asked the emperor to grant us a marriage."
"It was then that I realized that my sister at home often looked at your token."
"I clearly asked my sister if she liked the owner of the token, but she said no."
"She herself said she didn't like you, but the marriage granted during the Flower Festival made me realize that my sister had lied to me. It turns out she has liked you for a long time."
"My sister lied to me. She is my biological sister from the same mother."
"I once thought about forgetting you, but your handsome appearance, the image of you riding a horse, has long since entered my heart."
"What's wrong with liking someone?"
"It was my sister's own poor health that caused her to pass away early. You can't blame me. None of you can blame me."
"My sister gave birth to two children, and I was the one who took care of them each time. If I really wanted to harm her, wouldn't it be easy?"
"After my sister passed away, I married into the Yan family and treated Cheng and Yu as my own children. However, I couldn't have children of my own. Whenever I saw Cheng and Yu flourishing and receiving praise from the Master, I became jealous."
"If I wanted to hurt people, I could have hurt them, but I didn't."
"But I couldn't play the role of a loving mother then. People are selfish, aren't they?"
"Especially since their father treated me like ice, I really can't consider Cheng'er and Yu'er as my own children anymore."
"Yan De, my husband, I just hope you can treat me like you treat your sister."
"If you had given me a little love, I wouldn't have ended up being scolded and divorced by you."
"My sister has known you for as long as I have. Her love for you may not be as deep as mine."
"But you never see me."
Having said this, she laughed bitterly: "No matter what, my sister lost. The time she spent with you is far less than the time I spent with you."
"Yan De, Yan De, the deeper you love me in this life, the deeper you hate me."
"It doesn't matter if there is hate or not, so that you can always remember me."
The old Duke cursed: "Mad woman!"
"No, I'm not crazy." Madam Yan shook her head. "If you had married me when you married my sister, maybe I would have had my own children."
"But when I married you, I was almost thirty years old. A thirty-year-old woman hadn't been touched by her husband for three years after marriage. After we finally consummated the marriage, he even fed me contraceptive soup. Over time, I lost my ability to conceive."
"Yan De, isn't this your fault?"
Madam Hong pointed at Madam Yan and questioned, "You had many admirers back then. If you had chosen any of them, you might have had many children and grandchildren by now. Why are you blaming the old Duke for your own disdain for others when you were young?"
"It's because he is so stunning that my heart and eyes are full of him. There is no room for anyone else!" Old Lady Yan suddenly raised her voice.
These words made everyone present fall silent.
If you meet an amazing person in your youth, it will be difficult for you to feel the same excitement when you meet someone else in the future.
"Okay, that's all I have to say. It's time for me to leave the Yan family. However, even if I'm divorced, I'm still the old lady of the Yan family. My sister said back then that I'd let you take care of me for the rest of my life, and that life isn't over yet."
Old Madam Yan folded the divorce letter and put it in her sleeve pocket.
He took a deep breath and slowly walked out of the main hall of Nanyuan.
She returned to Dongyuan and packed her bags.
An hour later, the housekeeper saw her leaving in a carriage and came to Nanyuan to report.
"Old Duke, the old lady has told the driver to go to the manor."
"Let her be." The old Duke had a sullen face and a sullen voice.
Yuan Lang went to hold his hand and asked, "Great-grandfather, was great-grandmother killed by her?"
After hearing so much, he still couldn't figure out what happened to his great-grandparents.
"I'm afraid she's the only one who knows the truth of the matter," the old Duke said. "From her expression, she won't tell anyone no matter what."
"I definitely won't admit it." Madam Hong said, "But, Old Man Yan, you can relieve some of your anger by divorcing her now. Yan Min will also be relieved in heaven."
"Let's not talk about her anymore. Everyone is here today, so we should have a good drink at noon."
The old Duke stood up and told his servants to set the table in the dining room in the front yard.
"You should drink it, of course you should drink it," said Mrs. Hong.
--
After lunch, everyone drank tea and chatted in the main hall in the front yard.
Yan Yingying sat next to Yan Funing, and the two sisters put their heads together to chat privately.
Yan Yingying: "The love between three people is so crowded. I never thought that our grandparents also had tangled emotional entanglements when they were young."
Yan Funing: "Sister and brother-in-law are just right for each other."
"Your little mouth is so sweet." Yan Yingying narrowed her eyes. "It's like our grandmother's mouth, no wonder it's so sweet."
Yan Funing chuckled: "Sister, you have a powerful tongue."
Just then, a servant came to report that the Shi family was coming to visit relatives.
In fact, the Shi family and the Yan family are not relatives, but they are close friends. With such a good relationship, it is natural that they visit each other every Chinese New Year.
But something happened this year that made the Yan family think that the Shi family would not come to visit, but they didn't expect them to come.
This surprised the Yan family quite a bit.
Surprised, Yan Cheng said, "Please come in quickly."
Soon, four people from the Shi family arrived.
Shi Yu, Long Shuyun, Long Chi'an and Shi Yangyang entered the main hall.
They gave the gifts to the Yan family servants, and Long Shuyun said, "It's a lively day today. It seems we came at the right time."
Hong Qingyi greeted them: "Shuyun, Lord Shi, please come quickly and have a seat for tea."
Yan Yingying, who was sitting in the corner, whispered to Yan Funing, "Now there's a third person in my sister's love life. What should I do?"
