However, Wang Yuzhen's thoughts were quite beautiful, but An Xiuyuan had already seen through Wang Yuzhen's true colors. Especially when he thought about how he had not only lost such a good wife as Yunzhi because of him, but also lost his title and the Marquis's mansion, he was filled with regret.
If he had known Wang Yuzhen was this kind of person, he would never have hurt Yunzhi for her sake, much less have done something as degrading his wife to a concubine in order to marry her.
If he hadn't demoted his wife to a concubine, would Yunzhi still be his wife now?
An Xiuyuan was filled with regret, so much so that he was practically green with envy. But there's no medicine for regret in this world, and time cannot be turned back; it was too late for his remorse.
An Xiuyuan and his maid stayed up late that night, so he woke up late the next morning. Fortunately, he had asked his superior for leave yesterday, so it didn't matter if he didn't go to the yamen today.
When he got up, he found that Wang Yuzhen had come out of the woodshed, and Hu Dachun had returned and was staying with Wang Yuzhen.
Seeing the two of them, An Xiuyuan was furious. He stepped forward and raised his hand to slap Wang Yuzhen. But before his hand could land, Hu Dachun grabbed it.
Hu Dachun looked coldly at An Xiuyuan and said, "What kind of man takes his anger out on a woman? If you're so capable, come at me. Let me tell you the truth, Zhen'er was forced by me."
"You?" An Xiuyuan was furious, pointing at Hu Dachun but unable to speak. This was blatant provocation.
He's not stupid; how could he not tell whether Wang Yuzhen was coerced or acting voluntarily?
If it were coercion, she would have said so last night, and wouldn't have waited until now.
"I knew you wouldn't dare to make a move, you coward!" Hu Dachun looked at An Xiuyuan with a mocking expression, which made An Xiuyuan so angry that his hair almost stood on end.
But he had no choice but to endure it. Because he couldn't beat his opponent. Besides, a gentleman takes revenge even after ten years.
Just because he can't do anything to Hu Dachun now doesn't mean he won't be able to in the future. Once he returns to the capital and his residence, he can find some skilled fighters; surely he'll have his revenge.
Looking at the stoic An Xiuyuan, Wang Yuzhen felt somewhat worried for Hu Dachun. However, she was currently in a precarious situation herself and could only pretend not to see anything.
"Come back to the manor with me!" An Xiuyuan held back for a long time, but finally pulled Wang Yuzhen out of the room.
Wang Yuzhen felt slightly relieved when she saw that An Xiuyuan didn't mention divorcing her again. Once back at her residence, she would have even less to worry about. After all, not only was her son there, but also her aunt, Wang Shi.
Wang is ruthless to others, but she is always soft-hearted towards her. As long as she pretends to be pitiful and tries to gain sympathy, she will definitely not make things difficult for her.
Moreover, An Xiuyuan and Yunzhi have only been divorced for a short time. If rumors of him divorcing his wife were to spread again, where would the An family's reputation be?
Having figured it out, Wang Yuzhen gave Hu Dachun a reassuring look and followed An Xiuyuan into the carriage.
However, Hu Dachun was still uneasy. Coincidentally, he also needed to help Wang Yuzhen get rid of Yunzhi. So, he followed them directly towards the capital.
Seeing Hu Dachun following closely behind, An Xiuyuan was filled with hatred. He looked at Wang Yuzhen with a mocking expression and said, "You're quite good at seducing people. They're all devoted to you."
"Brother Xiuyuan, I didn't, you have to believe me." Wang Yuzhen looked aggrieved and even clung to An Xiuyuan, trying to evoke his pity.
In the past, An Xiuyuan might have fallen for it, but now, he pushed Wang Yuzhen away and said coldly, "Stay away from me."
