To be honest, even if Hongli believed she had let go of Zheng Lin, he would probably still suspect that Zheng Lin hadn't moved on from the past. Once Hongli became suspicious again, who knew what he might do in a fit of anger? She had witnessed Hongli's ruthlessness firsthand. After all, Zheng Lin was the person Yu Chan loved, and she couldn't let them both suffer.
We can't tell the truth, but we can't say nothing either; downplaying the issue is the only way.
While pondering, Su Yushan had already come up with her explanation.
"This matter is neither a big deal nor a small one. The real issue is that the two of them have been married for two and a half years but still have no children. Madam Zheng thinks that Yu Chan has a health problem and keeps giving her some medicine to regulate her body. She has been drinking it for a long time but it has not worked. She feels nauseous when she smells the medicine, so she secretly throws it away. However, her mother-in-law finds out and scolds her. She feels wronged and comes to me to complain."
After a moment of deep thought, Hongli pondered to himself, "Perhaps there's something wrong with Zheng Lin? Why didn't he have a doctor examine him?"
Uh… his focus was too peculiar, and Yu Shan didn’t know how to respond for a moment, so she chuckled dryly, “That’s a possibility.”
After thinking about it, she felt something was wrong. "I had been married for a long time before I got pregnant, and I was taking medicine to regulate my body! But I didn't see you go to see a doctor."
"What problem could I possibly have?" Hongli was very confident in himself. "Aren't they all pregnant? That's enough to prove that I'm a normal man."
He realized his mistake after the words were out of his mouth, and worried that Yu Shan would be unhappy, so he immediately changed his words.
"Of course, this is nothing to brag about. It was a special circumstance, and I was forced into it. Please understand. In short, I already have a legitimate son, and I will never have sex with my wife again."
When this topic came up, Hongli felt a little guilty and didn't ask any more questions. He changed the subject and talked about other things. Su Yushan felt relieved. In fact, she didn't want to mention Zheng Lin anymore.
Yu Chan is currently still at Baozhen Tower and hasn't returned to the Zheng family. It's unknown whether this incident will cause her to be completely disappointed in Zheng Lin. Or perhaps, will Zheng Lin learn to cherish things because of this temporary loss?
Now, Yu Chan didn't want to stay idle at her second sister-in-law's house and wanted to help out at the restaurant. Su Jiafeng and He Yunning both forbade her to go, saying that the inn was now well-staffed and could handle the workload. Besides, she was already married and it was not appropriate for her to show her face in a place like a restaurant.
Unable to go to the restaurant, she could only stay at her second sister-in-law's house. During the day, He Yuning was at the restaurant, and Su Jiafeng was on duty at the palace, so Yu Chan stayed at home with the maids and servants to take care of her second brother's son.
A one-year-old child has just learned to walk, and their little legs are always moving, so adults have to keep up with them. It's the most exhausting time.
But Yu Chan didn't find it annoying. She loved children the most. Whenever she saw Yonghuang, she would hug him and couldn't bear to let go. Her second brother's son was also so cute. The more she looked at him, the more she was moved and the more she wanted a child. It was just a pity that Zheng Linlian was unwilling to get close to her, let alone have a child.
Just as she was feeling sad, she saw a figure appear at the door.
The man, dressed in a dark blue robe and sash, was walking this way. It was none other than Zheng Lin.
His expression was usually indifferent, but upon seeing her today, a smile appeared on his face.
She so desperately wanted Zheng Lin to smile at her. Now he finally smiled, but recalling what happened that day, her heart ached, and she couldn't find peace. Yu Chan hurriedly looked away, handed her little nephew to the nanny, and then quickly turned and went into the house, locking the door and refusing to see him.
Zheng Lin followed her and stood at the door to talk to her, asking her to go home, but she refused. When he tried to persuade her further, she stopped responding.
With a door separating them and outsiders present, some things couldn't be discussed in detail, so Zheng Lin could only continue waiting there.
At dusk, Su Jiafeng returned from the palace and saw her brother-in-law there. She quickly ordered wine and dishes to be prepared.
He guessed that Zheng Lin had come for Yu Chan, but Yu Chan was in a bad mood and had no intention of returning to her husband's family. Su Jiafeng was a rough man and didn't know how to reason with people, but he had a sudden idea and secretly sent someone to invite his elder brother over.
When Su Mingfeng arrived, the food and wine were already prepared. Su Jiafeng personally went to invite her sister out, but she said she wasn't hungry and refused to come out of her room to see Zheng Lin.
Left with no other choice, Su Jiafeng had her maid bring some food into the room, while the rest of them chatted at the table in the main room.
After learning the whole story, Su Mingfeng remained silent for a moment before saying, "Everyone can see that Yu Chan has feelings for you, and we all understand that you don't have feelings for Yu Chan. Since this marriage is causing you so much pain, then stop insisting. Write a divorce agreement, and I will take Yu Chan home. From now on, you won't have to suffer anymore."
Upon hearing this, Su Jiafeng's eyes widened in shock. She wondered what was going on with her brother. He had asked her brother to act as a peacemaker, so how could he advise people to divorce?
Just as Su Jiafeng was about to remind him, Su Mingfeng narrowed her eyes, signaling him to calm down.
He didn't understand what his older brother was planning, but seeing that his brother was calm and composed, he didn't say anything more.
Upon hearing this, Zheng Lin frowned. "I have been married to Yu Chan for two or three years, and we have already consummated our marriage. How can we get a divorce?"
"So what? You don't like her, and forcing yourself to be with her would be very painful, wouldn't it? Rather than torturing each other, it's better to let her go."
As for Yu Chan's future, you don't need to worry. Many people get divorced these days; a woman isn't necessarily doomed after a divorce. Besides, her sister is a concubine, and my brother and I are both in official positions. She still has the means to remarry. Perhaps she can live a better life without you.”
Su Mingfeng's remarks truly surprised Zheng Lin. Caught off guard, Zheng Lin's heart tightened, and for a moment he didn't know what to say, only subconsciously uttering a sentence.
"I have no intention of divorcing her."
