The truth was too shocking to comprehend, but Xiao Ruyi found that she had no one to confide in, and Shen Ning's face flashed through her mind.
Then she made an appointment with Shen Ning.
Shen Ning: "......"
She was confused when she received the invitation and her first reaction was to refuse it. However, Xiao Ruyi sent two invitations in a row, and after being rejected, she simply went to his door.
Her aggressive demeanor made it seem like she was there to cause trouble, but she didn't utter a single curse; instead, she pulled Shen Ning to sit down.
Shen Ning was speechless: "Young Madam Han, just say what you want to say."
She's still busy.
"Xiao Ruyi".
"Um?"
Xiao Ruyi looked at Shen Ning and said, "My name is Xiao Ruyi. You can call me by my name from now on."
Shen Ning: "......"
Isn't this making things difficult for her? Miss Xiao, Miss Ruyi? That sounds a bit strange.
However, Shen Ning was a businessman who was good at reading people's expressions and using others to his advantage: "Then I'll take the liberty of calling you Sister Ruyi."
Xiao Ruyi was quite satisfied with the address and nodded: "Okay, then I'll call you Aning."
Shen Ning was completely bewildered by her sudden enthusiasm. Was she really so lacking in boundaries? Could they possibly address each other so intimately?
"Sister Ruyi, please speak frankly. I am all ears."
Xiao Ruyi smiled bitterly, and after a long pause, told Shen Ning the story about Liu'er.
"Isn't it ridiculous? I always thought I married my childhood sweetheart, but it turns out I'm the one who came later."
"The marriage was proposed by the Han family. After the two families agreed on the marriage, he didn't say anything. No one told me about Liu'er's matter either, but in the end, I became an unforgivable villain."
“I asked my mother, and she admitted that she knew about it back then, and it was she who made the request that all the women around Han Yin must be eliminated before the wedding.”
“My mother didn’t want me to suffer any injustice; she was doing it for my own good. My mother-in-law was fulfilling her promise so that I could marry into the family with peace of mind. The wet nurse and Liu’er were of low status and had no power to resist, so Han Yin, as a son, dared not say anything.”
"They're all right, but am I wrong?"
“I know nothing. I did nothing in this. Just because it was all for my sake, I should bear all the sins.”
"They're so tight-lipped! All these years, they haven't said a single word. It's ridiculous that I always thought we were a loving and respectful couple. Heh heh..."
"He didn't dare to say a word, didn't dare to protect the woman he loved, so why should he blame me? He not only blames me, but he even ignores his own son. How blind I was to not see his ruthlessness and indifference before?"
Shen Ning: "......" Well, you're cursing yourself, it's none of my business.
"Now that you know, what are you going to do?"
"Divorce." Xiao Ruyi sneered, "Dream on, I won't let him go."
“I did nothing wrong. He was the one who came to propose. It was his mother who drove him away. What does it have to do with me? I love him and have devoted years of my life to him. He has treated my feelings so badly, so he has to pay me back.”
Shen Ning hissed, "You don't want him to truly love you even once, do you?"
Xiao Ruyi didn't speak, but her expression answered.
Shen Ning admired her; it was truly audacious of her to make her enemy fall in love with her.
In his past life, Han Yin not only killed her, but also killed her child. This hatred had been buried in his heart for a long time, so how could he possibly fall in love with her?
Xiao Ruyi had clearly made up her mind, her eyes flashing with ruthlessness: "Chen Ning, how can a living person possibly win against a dead person?"
The living can't compete with the dead, because what's lost is all beautiful: "Then why not just die?"
"Hahaha!" Xiao Ruyi burst out laughing: "You're absolutely right, then go and die."
Shen Ning: "...Are you out of your mind?"
Xiao Ruyi suppressed her smile, her eyes filled with sorrow: "I've been crazy for a long time. I was already crazy when I kept deceiving myself and saying that he loved me."
She was both lucid and mad, but one thing was undeniable: she was truly head over heels in love with Han Yin.
"Ah Ning, am I being too cruel? I don't think about my son at all. I love my son so much... But my son doesn't just have my love. He's the eldest son, his grandparents adore him, his aunts and uncles all adore him, and his maternal grandparents, uncles, and a whole bunch of people take care of him. But what about me..."
“A married daughter is a guest in her parents’ home, while a wife who marries into the family is an outsider in her husband’s home. I thought I had a beloved husband, and that this love and my love for my son would be enough to support me through the rest of my life. But now it’s all a lie. He hates me and he hates the child.”
"I thought about it for two days and two nights, and I couldn't help but stay up all night. I kept thinking about whether or not to explain to him, but he's dead. Would he believe my explanation? Explaining wouldn't bring him back. Instead, it would only make the already bad situation worse by breaking the ice."
"I have to find a way to break this deadlock. After thinking it over and over, the only thing I can think of is an eye for an eye."
“I will pay for Liu’er’s life, and then his hatred will be gone. Maybe he won’t hate his son so much in the future.”
Shen Ning was convinced: "If you die, nothing will matter. What good will it do if he regrets it or loves you again?"
Xiao Ruyi had made up her mind, and then pushed a box in front of Shen Ning: "Please keep this for me. If I can come to you again, I will definitely pay you. If I can't come, use these as payment. Please help me look after my son during the holidays."
Shen Ning felt like she was going crazy. What did this have to do with her?
"Excuse me for being frank, but we're not close enough to entrust our children to each other with such intimacy and trust."
