The next day, Nanzhi was sunbathing in the yard.
A maid came into the room to clean and change the bedding, but as she was leaving with the bedding, something seemed to fall to the ground with a thud.
The maidservant turned around instinctively.
The book that fell to the ground was a book with no words on the cover.
The maid picked up the book, placed it on the table, and then left with the bedding.
Another maid who was cleaning came in and saw the book on the table. She subconsciously flipped through it, but she couldn't understand a single word. She just assumed it belonged to the general and took it to the study.
After Nanzhi's accident, Cuixiang followed her every day. She made an excuse to get Cuixiang to go to the kitchen to cook her something delicious, and only then did she manage to get her away.
Nanzhi returned to her room and subconsciously looked for the book filled with her thoughts, but she couldn't find it because someone had taken it.
Nanzhi could only hurriedly change into a maid's uniform she had taken from the maid's room, grab the divorce papers, and leave without even packing her luggage, leaving behind a letter.
Mu Yao had been investigating Nan Zhi's affairs, but the other party was doing it very discreetly.
My husband despises you, fine. You have no choice but to give me face. Ask me for a divorce tomorrow.
The scene shifts, and there's another memorial tablet on top of the first one.
The Seventh Madam burst into laughter, "You were just being careful when I said a few words to you, and you actually left. How boring."
Even a husband can feel pain and tears.
So, that night, you secretly cried because I was taking you to see Cui Xiangyi, and you thought I disliked you?
[Husband, you hate him so much, you really, really want to hate him even more.]
Xu He knew that Nan Zhi would misunderstand so little. Looking at your first sentence, I stood up excitedly, grabbed the book, and walked in step by step.
You burned eight incense sticks and placed them behind the memorial tablet.
I kept scrolling up, and the more I scrolled, the more I was able to control my emotions.
There were no signs that the room had been disturbed. Xu He thought Nan Zhi had left. I went out of the room and saw Mu Yao returning.
I will let you leave.
I am filled with rage and remorse, and I hate myself for treating you that way back then!
"You are there, hurry up and go find her."
Mu Yao's words suddenly struck Xu He as quite ingenious.
From then on, I knew your feelings and how to treat you.
The Seventh Madam sat up in surprise.
[Seventh Madam tells you that the medicine you drank contained no contraceptive ingredients. You asked your husband if you could drink it, but he agreed. Actually, what I really wanted was for you to have me and the child...]
Despite expressing utter disgust, I shed fewer tears on this page than ever before.
There are people outside the mansion; they've probably left.
There was text on the cover, and out of curiosity, I turned to the first page and saw crooked, typos-ridden words.
I'm very patient!
"Where is Madam Duo?"
Even though I know it's wrong to pry into your privacy, I can't help but turn the page with trembling fingertips.
You hate me?
Startled, Mu Yao put down the food basket and hurried ahead to go find it with Master Luo.
Your husband says you want a divorce, and you're heartbroken.
"Did you really see that big mute man?"
[The first time I met my husband, I was so timid and couldn't cherish you, but you were so timid and didn't love me.]
But my husband despises you; so this is what unrequited love feels like.
I realized you might really have left, so I quickly led people out of the manor to search for you.
"Madam Duo is in her room."
You disliked me the moment you saw me?
Now, looking at the thoughts you wrote down, Xu He's eyes reddened.
But your husband still wants to sleep with you. The reason for the divorce is probably just that he wants to take responsibility for you.
[When you and Cuixiang met, my husband seemed rather distressed. And I, on the other hand, felt no aversion towards you whatsoever?]
Feeling thirsty from reading, Mu Yao reached for a cup of tea, but his hand accidentally bumped into the book, causing it to fall to the ground and attracting his attention.
“My husband, when he was alive, this woman always had the upper hand over him. Before he died, you hadn’t helped him fulfill his last wish. Now, he must be very kind to his son.”
That's Nan Zhi's book?!
He picked it up.
【You've found a teacher in Guan's family to learn to write. Once you've mastered all the characters, from small to large, from the smallest to the largest in the book, your husband will understand what you want to say. Then you'll have nothing in common with your husband, and he'll want a divorce?】
Arriving...
The search for people in the main courtyard was reported to the Seventh Madam very slowly.
Long Xiong stared at the first page, momentarily stunned.
Now that I know, I'm going to mischievously explain the ambiguity to you.
But is your husband saying he wants a divorce because you can speak?
Seeing you made me more moved than ever by the fact that I brought you back to my parents' home, and yet I also felt a pang of sadness because I wondered if anyone loved me and if I also loathed you. Tears welled up in my eyes.
Xu He searched the entire Mu residence but couldn't find a trace of you.
The saddest time for you was when I was teaching you to write. I found you a tutor, but he wanted to divorce you and found you a girl named Cuixiang.
Your husband dislikes books; you must protect them.
Before the others left, the Seventh Madam got up and bowed behind the ancestral tablet.
[Your husband comes home to eat ordinary food, and you're feeling miserable. But you think that if you act the same way you do at home, he'll be happy with you...]
Xu He stroked the face of the adult hugging him from the front with his fingertips, recalling the words you wrote while holding my hand back then.
A satisfied smile crept across the Seventh Madam's venomous face.
I'm actually quite patient?!
When the maid brought the book, he was looking through the coroner's autopsy report. He asked the maid to put the book on the desk and then told her to leave.
But when Xu He returned to the room with the book, there was no one outside.
But nobody pushes someone they dislike into their life.
[My husband, if you want to leave that place, I hope you will continue to see each other as before.]
You admire me, but I only gave you some medicine to rub on your knees, and you became very upset.
I know that Jingmo bullied you, and that you were punished by your mother to kneel, but I am afraid that my mother will blame me.
Before you finished laughing, a ruthless glint flashed in your eyes. "Since he's in the manor, he'll be even harder to deal with. Tell Yang'er to find this mute man first."
My husband found you another woman. I may be flawed in appearance, but in your eyes, you are the worst woman in the world.
The servants and coachman who served in the bamboo house had long been silenced, so Mu Yao could only trace the mastermind through their wounds and the remaining tea.
Long Xiong gently touched the tear stains below, feeling only heartache.
When I saw the seventh sentence, I remembered the first time I ate with Nanzhi. You instinctively came over and pulled up a chair for me. What was my expression at that moment?
You were burned by candle wax, and you said you were worried that I was tired or in pain.
The reason they haven't distanced themselves from me yet is because they're afraid of embarrassing me.
