Shu Yao's back swayed, she could hardly believe he would say such a thing to her.
"If Yuefang is your wife, then who am I?" She turned around and roared at him, unable to contain her anger any longer.
He finally got up and dressed, carefully wrapping Yuefang in the blanket before giving her a cold look. "I don't want to hear any more of your nonsensical questions. If you choose to continue causing trouble, don't blame me for not being able to take you in anymore. I only agreed to let you move in temporarily because of my wife, but you've been acting crazy all day, disturbing the peace of the whole mansion. You even dared to break into our bedroom. Isn't that too damaging to the reputation of the Huo family?"
Shu Yao swallowed a mouthful of bitterness, forcing back the piercing pain as she asked, "Jing Sha, you don't even recognize me anymore?"
Huo Jingsha's face showed only the same indifference she had when they first met. "I think you've really gone mad! You should leave. The Huo family doesn't welcome people like you."
How dare he ask you to leave?
"You want me to leave you? Leave our son? And leave this family?" Shu Yao's expression changed drastically.
"Stop talking nonsense. We've never had a son. I'm asking you to leave simply because I think you're no longer fit to stay. Go! Go back to where you came from!"
“Yes, Shuyao, you should remember your place. I only invited you to my home as a guest. How can you not know your place? And you even tried to steal someone else’s child and husband.” Yuefang on the bed couldn’t help but say.
"You...!" She was so angry she couldn't speak.
Yuefang sat up helplessly: "I'm sorry, although I sympathize with your situation, my husband is mine alone, and I absolutely cannot give him up!"
Shu Yao was completely stunned. Her husband had been taken by someone else, and that damned man acted as if he didn't know her at all. When she saw Yue Fang's pitying look at her, her throat tightened, and she finally couldn't hold back anymore. Strings of tears rolled down her cheeks, and she cried uncontrollably. No one knew what kind of state of mind she was in that day.
Her heart felt like it was being boiled in oil, every moment felt like an eternity, but... the worst outcome still happened, even Huo Jingsha told her to leave.
Everyone who saw her today looked at her like she was a monster. Had she really gone mad? Had she really gone mad? She knew where she came from, but she could never go back.
Shu Yao swayed slightly, only able to support herself on the table with her hands. Her breathing was erratic. She couldn't understand how this could happen. She couldn't understand, she really couldn't understand!
His head was shaking frantically, completely unable to accept this outcome, he was disoriented and confused.
But suddenly, she seemed to remember something… That’s right! “My son, Huo Jingsha, I can do without you, I can leave the Huo family immediately, but please give me back my son!”
Thinking of her son, she was overwhelmed with emotion.
Huo Jingsha stared at her even colder, "How many times do I have to tell you before you understand? You don't have a child at all."
She has! She has! Shu Yao tried to pounce on him and shake him awake, but instead tripped and fell to the ground. He doesn't want her, fine, but why won't he even give her his son? Doesn't he already have a new "Mrs. Huo," a new "Little Treasure"?
Overwhelmed with anxiety, Shu Yao fainted again. In the instant she lost consciousness, she saw Huo Jingsha's face contorted with panic. "Look… my husband still loves me. He's so worried. Perhaps he hasn't fully woken up from this morning's dream; it was just a nightmare." When she opened her eyes again, everything would be back to normal. Huo Jingsha would still be the husband who loved her, Chunlu and the others would still protect her, and there would be Xiao Bao, her adorable son, still babbling and waking her up.
Come on... come on, wake your mother up quickly, she doesn't want to have nightmares anymore...
*** ***
"Madam...Madam, get up and take your medicine," but it wasn't Xiaobao who woke her up, but Chunlu.
Shu Yao slowly opened her eyes and found that it was already bright outside. When she saw the person in front of her, she sat up abruptly and grabbed her hand, asking urgently, "Chunlu, were you joking with me yesterday? Today is a new day, is the game over? Stop teasing me, I want to see Xiaobao, take me to see Xiaobao."
"You Shuyao, who has time to play games with you? It seems you didn't take a single word my husband and I said to you last night to heart."
Shu Yao looked past Chunlu and discovered that there was another person in the room, Yuefang.
She sat leisurely in a chair, dressed in an exquisite gown made of fine silk, holding a cup of tea in her hand. Every gesture exuded the nobility and poise befitting a young mistress of the house, a stark contrast to her own plain clothes and haggard appearance.
"I pleaded with my husband, but he wouldn't allow it. He insisted that you leave the manor as soon as possible. However, considering that you are ill, he couldn't be too ruthless and said he could only give you two more days. So hurry up and drink your medicine now. Since my husband has already made a concession, I can't force you to stay any longer." Yuefang appeared magnanimous and didn't want to hold it against her.
Shu Yao seemed to have lost her soul; all the things she wanted to say to Chunlu were stuck in her throat.
“Madam Shuyao, the young mistress is right. What you should do most now is to recover as soon as possible. Last night, your intrusion into the master’s bedroom has become known throughout the mansion. The fact that the master and madam have tolerated you for a few more days shows their magnanimity. You cannot… you cannot push your luck any further.” Chunlu said these words earnestly.
Shu Yao's eyes were filled with tears. Even though she didn't want to admit it, their words were like gold dust, and they all spoke with such certainty that it seemed she was really crazy and stupid, shamelessly clinging to someone else's husband.
She, You Shuyao, can live without love, but she absolutely cannot live a life of misery!
With tears streaming down her face, she suddenly burst into laughter. On the surface, she was laughing, but her heart was bleeding. How much helplessness and sorrow was contained in that laughter?
Just then, Huo Jingsha swaggered in from outside, but went straight to Yuefang and said gently, "I didn't see you when I woke up this morning, so I guess you must have come here. What's the point of talking to her? Come on, come back with me."
