As if aware of Shen Yuerong's embarrassment at the moment, Chi Mu squatted down and put his cloak on her.
His originally indifferent eyes had moved to Shen Yuerong and he could no longer look away.
Shen Yuerong also looked at Chi Mu steadily. What was contained in this look was enough to let Chi Mu know that she had not forgotten him yet.
"Why is the prince here today?" Shen Yuerong sighed and lowered her eyelids.
"The miracle doctor has devoted his life to the country and the people, saving countless lives. It is only right that I come to see him."
As Chi Mu was speaking, he noticed that Shen Yuerong was distracted. Every time she came to her father's tombstone, she couldn't help but think of that bone-chilling winter night three years ago.
On the wedding day, Hengyu left her alone... Perhaps it was really as Du Wan said, Hengyu had already disliked him thousands of times in his heart.
"What did the prince mean by that just now?" Shen Yuerong looked at Chi Mu pleadingly.
Such a look made Chi Mu unable to help but choose his words carefully. He knew that if he pushed her too far, Shen Yuerong might do something stupid.
Chi Mu pulled the corner of his mouth, thinking of Fu Hengyu, a mocking smile appeared on his face and said: "Oh, I thought it was something else, it turned out that our Miss Shen finally couldn't hold back, and wanted to find something wrong and punish them."
"Your Majesty, be careful with your words!"
Shen Yuerong pretended to be strong. She didn't dare to cry when she saw her father's tombstone, but she turned her back and kept wiping away her tears.
"You only know that Fu Hengyu and that skinny horse are having an affair, but you don't know that they actually have a daughter who is now four years old. Long before you got married..."
"Your Highness!" Shen Yuerong suddenly stopped him angrily, "Your Highness and I have only met a few times, but Your Highness is interfering in my family affairs like this, it's a bit too inappropriate!"
After she finished speaking, Shen Yuerong subconsciously looked around. Qinghua had not returned yet. Apart from the two of them, there was no one around. The sky was pitch dark, and there seemed to be no light at all.
This season is cold and damp, and the wind is particularly chilly.
"I don't know how my husband offended the prince, so that he had to come up with such a story to frame him!"
Shen Yuerong threw Chi Mu's cloak away in a huff. She was shivering with cold, but she didn't want to face the man in front of her.
She curled up into a ball, hugged her knees and squatted beside the tombstone, like an abandoned puppy, but her father had passed away, and she was afraid that no one in this world would pity her or help her.
Chi Mu did not refute. He knew that without solid evidence, Shen Yuerong would never believe what he said given her deep love and trust in Fu Hengyu.
Then, he took out two things from his arms and handed them directly to Shen Yuerong:
An intimate portrait of Fu Hengyu and Du Wan holding a baby girl, and a letter sent privately between the two.
It clearly records the close relationship between the two and even mentions their daughter they raised outside.
"Yiying, Qingqing, Ruwu..." Qingqing, this is a term of endearment between husband and wife, and Fu Hengyu actually called that skinny horse his wife.
After reading the entire letter, Shen Yuerong's eyes were so swollen that she could hardly open them.
She saw Chi Mu standing not far away in a daze. She wanted to speak, but it felt like someone was strangling her throat.
"No way! You forged this letter and this painting, right? My husband would never do such a treacherous thing!"
Shen Yuerong took a few deep breaths. She couldn't believe that Fu Hengyu could do such a thing.
Her eyes revealed deep pain and tears quietly slid down her cheeks. The grief was too painful to look at.
Fu Hengyu must have long forgotten that it was because of carrying him that his legs became disabled and ended up in his current situation.
So she was born a fool. Her mind clearly told her that there were many unsatisfactory problems in this marriage, but just for that man, she was still willing to go through heaven and earth, mountains of swords and seas of fire, and that's why she became ill.
"He has been using you from the beginning to the end. Don't you realize it yet?" Chi Mu asked instead of answering. Seeing Shen Yuerong acting so abnormally, he still wanted to make Shen Yuerong wake up.
At this moment, Shen Yuerong really wanted to tear off Chi Mu's expressionless face, but she could only take a deep breath and said almost chokingly: "Maybe... I can stand up and give birth to a child..."
She didn't want to cry, but she felt so sad that she couldn't control her emotions.
When these words came out of Shen Yuerong's mouth, Chi Mu felt as if he had heard a huge joke, "You and him didn't even consummate the marriage, how can you have an heir? He found an excuse to leave on the wedding night, making you a laughing stock in the whole capital, even..."
The moisture in her eyes could not help but fall down in extreme surprise. Shen Yuerong tried to get up tremblingly. She didn't even have the strength to refute Chi Mu.
Originally, when she heard this, she wanted to refute it angrily, but at this moment, she just felt like her whole body was about to fall apart. How could the strong wind be so cold and biting?
With tears in her eyes, she looked at Chi Mu sadly and said, "Why...why do you want me to know...why!"
In Shen Yuerong's mind, Du Wan looked mocking, as if she was mocking and despising her.
"I thought..." Shen Yuerong didn't know how to accept this cruel fact. She always thought that Hengyu always had her in his heart...so even though she was angry and disgusted, she still treated him well.
When Qinghua arrived, Shen Yuerong had already fainted in Chi Mu's arms.
When they returned home, she was forced to take a hot bath. In the middle of the night, Shen Yuerong had a fever. She was shivering with cold, but she curled up quietly in the quilt, letting her hot tears fall into the soft silk pillow.
It was not until today that Shen Yuerong realized that the most hurtful thing in the world is not swords, but emotions, especially the false feelings from the person she deeply loves.
Shen Yuerong covered herself with the quilt, hating herself for not being able to just die and be done with it when she only had a fever, leaving herself with this disgusting body.
She kept thinking about how vicious Fu Hengyu's words were. If she saw his disgusted and loathed look with her own eyes, she would probably feel disgusted with herself and want to vomit.
I can't understand how her life has come to this point. I'm afraid it's all her own fault!
On the battlefield, no matter how much suffering she endured for her beloved, she was willing to endure it and never frowned. But at this moment, what she could not stand the most was being looked down upon by her beloved.
Du Wan's words and Chi Mu's letter from home were like the last straw that broke the camel's back, crushing all of Shen Yuerong's confidence and admiration.
Being denied by the person she loved, Shen Yuerong fell directly into the abyss of self-denial. Perhaps as long as she lived, she would offend Fu Hengyu's eyes.
As I was thinking this, the door was suddenly pushed open.
Fu Hengyu rushed in hurriedly, with a look of concern on his face. He held Shen Yuerong's cold hand, rubbed it gently, and his eyes turned red.
"Rong'er, I was so busy with my work that I delayed such an important matter and caused you to catch a cold. I'm sorry..."
