"I will never dare to do it again. I swear, I will serve you well from now on..."
"Drown her and the steward together in the pond, wishing them to become a pair of ghostly lovers!"
As soon as Prime Minister Jiang finished speaking, Madam Qin was stunned.
She stayed with him for ten years.
How could he be so heartless?
She was merely having an affair with the butler, who was his man and had served him faithfully for years, yet he showed him absolutely no gratitude...
“My lord, how cruel you are. I have been married to you for ten years and have been by your side for ten years. If it weren’t for me, you would still be all alone. And what about me? I have lost my beloved. Even when we meet every day, I can only endure it.”
"Yunhe has called you 'Dad' for ten years, so he's your son. What's wrong with having another person love him? Is blood relation really that important?"
The Prime Minister steadied himself.
The pity that had once lingered in their eyes vanished completely.
"I must be blind to have fallen for a slut like you!"
"Since that's the case, then I wish you two could be a pair of ghost lovers, happily raising the child that Steward Hu had with another woman!"
"Guards, take these two adulterers to the deepest pond and drown them!" His sinister gaze brooked no resistance.
Upon hearing this, one servant dragged the steward while the other pulled Qin Shi towards the door.
"My child, my child!" Madam Qin turned around and cried out in anguish to Jiang Yunhe, who was lying on the ground with his eyes wide open.
"Gag her! I don't want to hear her voice!"
The servant pulled a handkerchief from his pocket and stuffed it into her mouth, so Qin couldn't utter a sound.
They could only whimper as they were forcibly dragged away.
Prime Minister Jiang looked at the three children in front of him.
His body aged considerably in an instant.
He could no longer hide it and burst into tears, sobbing uncontrollably.
“I was living a good life with my adopted son. It was when she came to my residence that I started thinking about getting married. Over the years, I’ve been getting up earlier than the chickens and going to bed later than the dogs, just hoping to make a good impression on His Majesty and get a new salary.”
“Every time I came home with my salary, she would happily cook a meal for me herself.”
“I don’t care that she is a widow. I will marry her and make her the wife of the Prime Minister in my household. For her sake, I have not kept a single concubine.”
“My adopted son is eighteen years old, the age for marriage. Some matchmakers came to propose marriage, but I rejected them with just one sentence, which is why he is now twenty and still not married.”
"I never imagined that this woman would deceive me so badly, having an affair with the official I've been close to for over ten years!"
He stretched out his hand, pointing tremblingly to the doorway, "More than ten years! I'm fifty now."
"When she first started working here, she said she was afraid of hardship, so I gave her all the money in the house to manage..."
"silver?"
Seemingly remembering something, he wiped away his cloudy tears and ran shakily toward the storeroom. "Yes, my money, my belongings, I have to go see how she's managed them all these years..."
