When Ninth Princess saw that he was determined to get an answer and listened to him talk about the past, although she wanted to continue to pretend to be indifferent and not let him see her vulnerability, she couldn't help but feel a lump in her throat, her eyes reddened, and tears uncontrollably streamed down her face.
"Let go!" She moved her wrist and used a lot of force to push Ninth Master away. Ninth Master was drunk and his hands and feet were weak. He was caught off guard by her sudden push and was pushed away.
He staggered and almost fell. Ninth Princess Consort stared at him for a while, then felt that some things needed to be made clear. She wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, turned to the maids kneeling all over the room who dared not raise their heads, and said, "You may all leave now!"
The maids, upon hearing this, felt as if they had been granted a pardon and quickly withdrew.
Soon only Ninth Prince and Ninth Princess remained in the room. Ninth Prince was still drunk. Ninth Princess stood at the door, slowly turned her head to look at him, and after a moment of thought, said, "You ask me why I can't treat you like I did when I first met you, why I don't care about you as much as before. It's actually very simple. If a wife doesn't care at all about her husband's extravagant lifestyle, it can only mean one thing: she no longer loves her husband."
As Ninth Master leaned against the wall and listened to her words, a buzzing sound suddenly filled his ears.
"I have long since lost all feelings for you, my heart is as cold as ashes. Otherwise, why do you think I never care about you? Even if you always favor women of low status and frequent brothels, I never question it. Ninth Master, as long as you divorce me, you can live a more carefree life, or take another wife. I believe you will be happier and more content than you are now."
Upon hearing her words, Ninth Prince's fingers began to tremble uncontrollably. He couldn't bear to hear such words, nor could he bear Ninth Princess's repeated requests for him to divorce her.
Ninth Prince flew into a rage, rushed to Ninth Princess's side, grabbed her shoulders tightly, and asked in a hoarse voice, "Why? Why? Why do you have no feelings for me at all? Why are you completely different from before?"
Tears streamed down her face, and an overwhelming sorrow welled up in Ninth Prince's chest. She looked up at him and said, "You ask if I've changed, but why don't you think about whether you've changed? Did you ruin this situation yourself?"
Ninth Prince's wife swallowed, her voice filled with sorrow and desolation. Her eyes were looking at Ninth Prince, but it seemed as if they were looking through his eyes at a very distant place. "In my life, I once loved Yintang, but later, a prince named Ninth Prince married me."
Ninth Master frowned, not understanding what she meant, but he still felt that she had some truth to reveal.
Ninth Prince's wife sniffed and said sadly, "I have always believed that Yintang and I have the most sincere love, while Ninth Prince and I are only together for the sake of profit. Whether we will break up when the profit is exhausted is still unknown."
Ninth Master was taken aback, staring at her speechlessly for a long time.
“My father commands the army and holds a high position of power. I believe he must be of some use to Ninth Prince!” She laughed self-deprecatingly. “If I didn’t have such a father, would Ninth Prince still like me? Would he marry me? In the end, what you like is not me, but my family’s background.”
