After returning to his residence, he was busy until nightfall before heading to Huatang Pavilion.
The reason he waited until 9 PM to go was because he knew Su Yushan would go to bed early. Only by going at this time could he quietly and freely observe her for a while.
However, it was past midnight when he went to her bedroom and found her still wearing a padded jacket, sitting half-sitting in the tent reading a book.
Walking slowly around the screen, Hongli asked in surprise, "Shouldn't you be asleep at this hour?"
Seeing him come in, Su Yushan sighed softly, resting her chin on her hand, "It's all my fault for sleeping too long this afternoon. When I woke up, it was almost dark. I can't fall asleep now, so I'm just reading to pass the time."
After sitting down by the tent, Hongli pondered for a long time before speaking, "When I went to the palace to pay my respects today, Mother said that Jin Minjing's pregnancy was unstable and asked me to bring her back to the mansion to rest and recuperate."
Since she returned, neither of them had mentioned Kim Min-jung. But today, when she suddenly heard him mention him, Su Yu-shan's heart immediately clenched. All the past grudges piled up quickly, causing her heart and lungs to ache terribly, as if they were about to explode!
As he spoke, Hongli kept his eyes fixed on her. He clearly saw a flash of intense hatred in her eyes, but it quickly disappeared, replaced by indifference.
She gave a soft "oh," and didn't say another word, not even raising her head. She continued looking at the pages of the book in her hands, but her knuckles were clearly taut and straight, gripping the book tightly, her lips pursed in silence.
She didn't want to talk about that woman too much, but Hongli insisted on asking, "Would you be willing to let her come back?"
This question was truly laughable to her; if he knew her even a little bit, he wouldn't have asked such an unnecessary question.
After a moment of silence, Su Yushan said calmly, "My thoughts are not important."
"It's not important, but since I asked, you have to answer." The reason he pressed for details was because Su Yushan had told him she wouldn't lie to him anymore. So he wanted to see if she would tell him what she really felt or just give him empty promises.
