Even a simple word of protection shows that Grand Tutor He and Madam He have a very good relationship.
Judging from Madam He's tone, it seemed that Master Changling knew quite a bit of inside information.
So his gaze fell on Madam He, wanting to hear an answer from her.
"It's all my fault, no matter how many mistakes I made. I was wrong from the very beginning. But I didn't regret it before, I don't regret it now, and I won't regret it in the future," Mrs. He said, lowering her head in disappointment.
Master Changling listened quietly to her story, while Lu Qingyan listened to the tale of love and hate.
"Back then, I was still a proud young lady from the capital, but from the moment I saw the master, my heart could not hold anyone else." As she spoke, her gentle gaze fell on He Jinshu, causing a faint blush to appear on his old face.
Lu Qingyan saw it all clearly and now she knew exactly how good the relationship between the two people was.
"But no matter how I approached him back then, he wouldn't accept me, saying that he already had someone he liked." Mrs. He said this with a hint of guilt and frustration. On the other side, He Jinshu looked at Mrs. He with confusion, as if she knew nothing about these things.
Madam He rambled on, "Back then, I was young and impetuous, unwilling to admit that I was inferior to a courtesan, so I drugged her and we consummated our marriage. At that time, my father was a high-ranking official in the court, and Jinshu had no choice but to marry me since he couldn't afford to offend him." As she grew older, Madam He saw through everything and admitted that what she had done back then was wrong, but it was too late to undo anything.
"After he married me, he didn't dare bring that woman back. He could only secretly send her things. I always knew about this, but I never stopped him."
Lu Qingyan remembered clearly that Yue Niang and her mother had relied on each other for so many years, and no one had ever sent anything home. Lu Qingyan didn't believe it, but she also knew that Madam He wouldn't lie now.
Master Changling understood what Lu Qingyan meant, and looked at Madam He with cold eyes: "That mother and daughter have never received anything."
Madam He said in surprise, "That's impossible. I remember exactly how many things Jinshu sent to that woman's house back then. How could there be none? Wait—you said that woman gave birth to a daughter for him and for the master?"
Master Changling has lived for so many years, he can still distinguish between truth and falsehood. It seems that Madam He really knew nothing about it.
Looking at Lord He again, it was clear that he didn't understand what was being discussed.
"It seems that Lord He really doesn't remember." Daoist Changling looked at He Jinshu, feeling indignant for Lu Qingyan.
He couldn't really explain it. In this world, some people live well, and some people live miserably. There are people who live even worse than Yue Niang, but he didn't know why, out of so many people, he took a special liking to Yue Niang.
Mrs. He sighed, "He never said anything and I always pretended not to know. I thought I could live a peaceful life like this, but I never expected God to give me such a surprise."
Now, when this surprise is mentioned, Mrs. He doesn't seem very happy or excited.
Speaking of He Jinshu back then, Madam He's face was full of smiles: "My husband was young and promising back then. Not long after he entered the court, he had the opportunity to go hunting with His Majesty in the autumn."
