Yun Wenfang felt that he had done his utmost to tell Meng Shi these things so bluntly. Otherwise, it would be like the previous year when Meng Shi had been alone in her empty room. Maintaining their fake marriage was what was in his best interest.
Yun Wenfang tried hard to ignore the fact that there was already an unrelated person in his wife's place, but he was originally a pure and selfish person, and he disdained to take advantage of women.
But these words were like a bolt from the blue to Meng. She had only one thought: her husband was going to divorce her. They had only just met for the first time since their marriage, and they hadn't even consummated their marriage. He was going to divorce her. For a woman, this was a profound humiliation.
However, when Meng was a girl, she was considered to be a girl of good character. She had never done anything that would cause any disgrace to others. So even though she was so angry that she was shaking with anger at Yun Wenfang's words, she did not make a fuss. She just covered her face and cried.
Yun Wenfang had no sympathy for women. When he realized he had finished speaking, he patted the hem of his clothes, stood up and said goodbye.
"I've been in Yunyang City for the past three days. If you have made a decision, you can send someone to inform me. I won't let anyone from the Yun family stop you."
After saying this, Yun Wenfang turned and left. Meng, who was crying uncontrollably, suddenly looked up and asked, "Do you already have someone you like?"
Mrs. Meng was not too stupid. Yun Wenfang's words and actions, combined with the clues she had occasionally heard from the servants of the Yun family who expressed pity for her, made it seem that Yun Wenfang had someone else he liked.
Seeing Yun Wenfang was speechless, Meng Shi endured the sadness and humiliation and said: "If you really can't let go of that person, I am not intolerant. You can take her into the mansion as a concubine. I, I am not jealous."
As a woman from a prominent family like Meng, she had naturally heard some stories. Meng speculated that the woman's status might be incompatible with Yun Wenfang's, which was why Yun Wenfang couldn't marry her. Even so, she could tolerate Yun Wenfang taking her as a concubine. After all, she was only a concubine, and her status couldn't surpass hers.
Meng's words really made Yun Wenfang stop and look at her.
"You are the legal wife and she is the concubine?" Yun Wenfang asked playfully.
Meng gritted her teeth and nodded: "If it's inconvenient for you to tell me, I can go talk to my grandmother and mother."
Meng felt very aggrieved, but she was still willing to compromise to save her marriage.
Unexpectedly, Yun Wenfang smiled, and the words he spoke were like sighs, spoken slowly and word by word, making people feel cold. "A long time ago, I thought about this too. I would get her into the mansion at all costs. At that time, I felt that status was nothing. She would suffer a little loss in status. At most, I would pamper her and protect her. If she couldn't get along with the legal wife, I could turn the legal wife into a tablet in the ancestral hall, and send her away with three sticks of incense during festivals. That way, no one could oppress her."
The color on Meng's face immediately drained away. She stared at Yun Wenfang's figure against the light, speechless.
Yun Wenfang looked at Meng's face and smiled a little maliciously: "So you should be glad that she can't enter the Yun family, otherwise..."
Yun Wenfang didn't finish his words. He looked at Meng meaningfully and turned away.
