Upon hearing this, Hao Shumei felt as if she had been struck by a heavy blow. She swayed and took a deep look at Zhao Yi. His eyes were open and honest, without a trace of the affection he once had. However, the difference was that the way he looked at Qiu Tong was exactly like that of a so-called married couple.
She had never been a wife and did not know how husbands and wives should get along. Perhaps it was like Zhao Yi and Qiu Tong, who supported each other through thick and thin.
She now roughly understands what she missed and what she was unwilling to accept in her life.
Looking at Qiu Tong, she was very jealous of this woman, but what right did she have now?
"That's enough, I'm leaving." She said, slowly turning around, her back view as desolate as an autumn leaf about to fall.
As Zhao Yi watched her leave, he reached out and tightly grasped Qiu Tong's hand, saying, "Don't overthink it. You are my wife, and that will never change."
In fact, for women in this era, just one such promise is enough.
As Hao Shumei left the Seventh Prince's residence, she was greeted by a smiling Sun Yun, who was sitting in a carriage. She lifted the curtain and smiled at her.
Such a bright smile dazzled Hao Shumei.
"Why do you have such a long face? I told you not to leave the palace, but you wouldn't listen," Sun Yun said. She had thought Hao Shumei was trying to escape, which was why she had rushed out to chase after her.
Hao Shumei said nothing, got into the carriage, leaned her head against the side of the carriage, and didn't feel a headache despite the bumpy ride.
Sun Yun took out a few pastries from the oil paper and handed them to Hao Shumei, "Have some, otherwise how will you have the strength to take revenge?"
Hao Shumei gave a self-deprecating laugh, "Such humiliation is all my own doing, what is there to seek revenge for? Sun Jiao is lucky to have died."
If Sun Jiao knew that her beloved husband had such a hobby, she probably wouldn't be able to stand it.
"You're really hopeless," Sun Yun said, exasperated.
Hao Shumei ignored her and just kept her head against the carriage wall, remaining silent all the way back to the palace without saying a word.
Sun Yun also secretly entered the palace. When she appeared in front of Zhao Shu, she spoke of Hao Shumei with great disdain, saying, "I wonder who she's trying to impress with that bitter and resentful look."
Zhao Shu chuckled, "Back then, she thought Zhao Bi was infatuated with her beauty, just as the Emperor was infatuated with Yi De, and she felt that she was destined to become Empress. Now that she has discovered that even if she is as beautiful as an angel, Zhao Bi does not love her, she is deeply hurt and naturally in a bad mood. Don't pay attention to her, she is just a self-righteous person."
"Oh, what a foolish woman! She thinks that beauty can give her everything. Doesn't she know how long she can keep seducing others with her looks?"
