Boldly Divorce

"He doesn't want to marry me at all,"
Shi Hailian said quietly to her father. Her phoenix coronet and wedding gown made her look petite and delicate, like a finely sculpted little child, a beautiful little girl made of water. She wasn't very old, yet she was about to become a wife.
For a moment, she could feel her father's sadness and reluctance.
Old Master Shi reached out his wrinkled old hand and patted his daughter's shoulder. "Don't be silly. Of course Jin Mingyue wants to marry you. You're so lovely; everyone loves you."
Hailian's head was bowed low, her small hands almost tearing her handkerchief.
"Yesterday I heard the servants say he had a fight with Uncle Jin… Father, he seems completely unaware that he's getting married…"
"Lianlian, don't think too much. He already has a marriage agreement with you. Whether he marries sooner or later, he'll marry you. The important thing is that the Jin family mansion needs you, and we need a place to stay."
"But…"
"You must become a true young mistress!" Old Master Shi said kindly.
Old Master Shi adored his beautiful daughter, who had inherited her wife's charm. If it weren't for the fact that Master Jin had saved his life, and that he had lost all his wealth due to a failed business venture, he wouldn't have arranged for his daughter's marriage so soon. It was Master Jin who had taken them in, saving them from a life of homelessness.
Moreover, Master Jin had always been kind to them, asking for nothing in return. His only request was that Hailian become the young mistress of the Jin family, managing a household for Jin Mingyue and bearing several sons.
However, this wish and promise had never been mentioned because both were still young.
Now that Jin Mingyue was an adult and Hailian was sixteen, Master Jin ordered his only son, who was studying far away, to return and settle his marriage.
Jin Mingyue was forced to return; it was unclear what methods Master Jin had used, but it certainly wasn't a harmonious one.
Although Hailian's face was covered by a red veil, preventing her from seeing the man's expression during the wedding ceremony, she could clearly sense his anger.
He was very angry, she knew.
"Daughter! Just think about how good your Uncle Jin has been to us father and daughter, and how much he loves you. Believe that you are a blessing from your past life to be his wife," Old Man Shi comforted his daughter.
Hailian lowered her head, her delicate body like a blade of grass that would break in the wind, looking so pitiful. But her father knew very well that his precious daughter only appeared weak on the outside; her heart was stronger than anyone else's.
"Lianlian, if he bullies you, Father won't let him get away with it!" After all, he was his precious daughter.
Hailian nodded slightly, knowing she would never say anything. Once she chose this path, she would stick to it.
Old Man Shi thought Hailian was worried about Jin Mingyue's appearance and quickly said, "Although you two know each other, you haven't had a chance to meet, but he is already very beautiful and handsome compared to when he was a child."
Beautiful?! Hailian frowned slightly. It was strange to hear such an adjective used to describe a man.
"I'd rather he were an ordinary man," she whispered.
"He can become a man, perhaps you can teach him properly. From today onwards, he is your husband, and being a good wife and mother is your duty."
She nodded.
"Alright, I'll be going now."
"But Father..."
"What is it? Is there anything else you want to ask?"
How could she ask what she was supposed to do on her wedding night? Hailian didn't know how to begin.
Old Master Shi, understanding her situation, poured her a glass of wine, which Hailian drank without thinking.
"Drink slowly."
"It's alright, it's better to be drunk." If she was drunk, she wouldn't have to face any of this.
Old Master Shi quietly watched his daughter's flushed cheeks, deciding not to tell her about the drugging, for fear of upsetting her. He just hoped everything would go smoothly and without any complications.
"It's alright, you stay here and wait for the groom to come in!"
Just then, the groom was helped in by the guests, and he seemed quite drunk.
Perhaps she wasn't the only one wanting to escape. Hailian thought to herself, and felt a pang of sympathy for this complete stranger.
"Alright! You can all get out!" Jin Mingyue roared, shooing them away.
Hailian was startled by the anger in his voice.
He was angry; he didn't want this forced marriage either, so he was angry. He couldn't vent his frustration and anger on anyone else, but he could vent it on her…
He could, absolutely could, simply because he was her husband, her everything.
Suddenly, the red veil on her head was roughly ripped off, startling Hailian into a scream, her body involuntarily shrinking back. Slowly raising her large, watery eyes, she met a pair of cold, dark eyes.
Jin Mingyue had assumed this cunning little woman, who had bewitched his father, must be evil-looking, and had even fantasized that Hailian was the only one in the world fit to be the young mistress of the Jin family. Therefore, he had always considered her a very bad person.
To his surprise, the face beneath the red veil was pale yet beautiful. A high, straight nose, arched eyebrows, and a slightly furrowed brow evoked a tender tenderness. Her fan-like eyelashes fluttered gently
, captivating, and her small, red lips trembled slightly. She didn't resemble a vixen at all; instead, she looked like a precious little darling needing to be held and protected.
Her large, watery eyes flickered with unease and panic, and her pale complexion made her appear exceptionally fragile, so lonely and helpless.
For the first time in his life, Jin Mingyue felt an overwhelming urge to protect her.
He gazed deeply into her resentful eyes, a voice within him warning him: Be careful! You too have been bewitched by her, Jin Mingyue!
He suddenly threw down the red veil, fell silent, and sat alone at the round table, drinking.
Hailian finally breathed a sigh of relief. In the quiet, oppressive atmosphere, she could only stare blankly at his figure, suppressing the urge to run away and hide.
He was so...so handsome! His striking eyebrows, straight nose, tightly pressed lips, resolute chin, and those dark eyes.
They were incredibly cold, unfathomable, flashing with a piercing light that made her uneasy.
She looked at his broad shoulders and tall, slender frame; he seemed so tall and imposing, the ideal man every woman dreamed of.
But the look he had just given her was reproachful, scrutinizing, and disapproving. That look made her feel incredibly foolish and childish in his presence.
Just as she was wondering what to say or do, she heard him speak in a deep voice.
"Do you know what an absurd thing you agreed to?"
She lowered her head slightly and murmured, "I know."
He suddenly jumped up, rushed to her, and grabbed her slender shoulders with such force that she felt she was about to be crushed.
"You know?! If you know, why did you agree to this foolish marriage?!"
His roar nearly shattered her eardrums, but she forced herself to face him bravely. "This is my own choice, I will bear everything, I just hope this matter can be resolved quickly."
"Resolved?" He gripped her shoulder even tighter, his thick eyebrows furrowing warily, revealing his anger.
"Yes, tomorrow when I leave this room, I must show you proof that we have consummated our marriage..." Her gaze fell on the white cloth beside her, and she gritted her teeth as she continued, "proof."
"To prove that you have the right to be my rightful wife, to receive the immense wealth and glory that the young mistress of the Jin family can enjoy, isn't that right?" His tone rose even higher.
"Young Master..."
"Fine, since you are willing to sell yourself, then I have nothing more to say!"
Hailian thought he would abandon her and turn to leave, but to her surprise, he instead pulled at her wedding dress with such force that it frightened her.
"Wait a minute..."
"I don't want to wait anymore! And you're my wife, so you should obediently listen to me and take off your clothes! Anyway, you've already sold yourself for power and money, so if you're going to be a prostitute, you should be a proper one!"
She couldn't believe his words, and tears welled up in her eyes, but she still chose to endure it.
Jin Mingyue deliberately hurt her, deliberately wanted to make her angry, to make her regret it, but when he roughly tore open her clothes, revealing most of her snow-white skin, the alcohol catalyzed the lust within her.
"If you don't want to endure it, just protest..."
"No, we've already had our wedding ceremony, so consummating our marriage is a matter of course, and I will try my best to learn."
"You—" He looked like he was about to explode with anger.
She stared at him quietly, not knowing what to do. This man made her feel very scared and uneasy, but because the alcohol she had just drunk was starting to take effect, she found his shouting and yelling to be very manly.
None of the men she had seen before, the neighbors, or the male servants of the Jin family, dared to express their dissatisfaction and inner thoughts as boldly as Jin Mingyue.
Seeing his face flushed red, looking like a child throwing a tantrum while feigning maturity, she didn't care so much about his earlier roughness.
However, she was still bothered by his humiliation. She wasn't a prostitute! Absolutely not!
Jin Mingyue quickly took off his clothes, revealing his strong, muscular chest. Hailian turned her head away in shame, but still obediently lay on the bed.
She had to get through this, for Master Jin, for the Jin family, for her father, and for herself as much as possible. As long as she gritted her teeth and got through it, everything would be alright.
When he approached her again and placed his sexy lips on her trembling lips... she thought he would, but before their lips touched, he seemed to think of something and stopped.
"I heard that prostitutes don't let male customers kiss their lips, right?"
These words made her beautiful eyes widen slightly.
He didn't kiss her lips, but instead attacked her neck, his large hands kneading her breasts forcefully without any gentleness.
She forced herself not to cry out. She would endure his deliberate punishment, as long as she could get through tonight, as long as she became his rightful wife, everything would be alright. She just needed to lie there obediently and let him exercise his husbandly rights.
However, Jin Mingyue seemed to have sensed her intentions, his dark eyes narrowing as he stared at the submissive woman beneath him.
"Are you planning to just lie there like this, like a dead fish?"
"I..."
He suddenly rolled over, coldly saying, "If you want everything you want from me, then you'll have to do it yourself."
"Do it myself..."
"What?" He raised an eyebrow at her.
She... he wanted her to do it herself... do what?
Jin Mingyue deliberately looked at her with disdain and contempt, "What? You don't understand?"
She suppressed the urge to shake her head, because she truly didn't understand either.
But then, the man in front of her suddenly burst into laughter, a laughter that made her heart race, a laughter that almost brought her to tears.
Was he mocking her? Was he mocking her for not knowing how to be a woman? Or was he mocking her for being an unromantic wife who didn't know how to please a man?
She lowered her eyes, tears glistening at the corners, looking so fragile and pitiful.
He knew he shouldn't feel sorry for this woman, because she had conspired with the old man to scheme against him, making her his enemy; he shouldn't be soft-hearted!
However, despite his anger towards his father, he couldn't help but feel a different kind of affection for this girl he had been forced to marry.
She was completely different from Wen Yue. Wen Yue was so charming and knew how to please men; Shi Hailian was different. Even after his unreasonable outbursts, she remained calm and composed like a queen.
He understood his father's decision somewhat, but that didn't mean he would happily accept this bride forced upon him.
"I'm telling you…" Jin Mingyue was about to speak when he unexpectedly discovered his wife was already asleep.
This… was too much! He quietly gazed at her innocent sleeping face. It was good she was asleep; that way, she wouldn't have to face his anger.
Jin Mingyue sighed helplessly. He lay blankly on the new bed, staring at the ceiling. He had drunk a lot of alcohol, trying to numb himself, but instead, he was becoming increasingly sober.
After some time, he noticed the person beside him making a soft, cat-like whimper, then moving closer to him, as if seeking his warmth.
Before he could even process his actions, his large hand had already pulled her into his embrace, a gesture that seemed habitual and practiced.
However, he didn't have much time to think, as his eyelids grew heavier and heavier; the alcohol was taking effect.
And so, the two strangers, man and woman, embraced tightly, spending their wedding night together…
Chapter Two
. The next morning, when Hailian groggily opened her eyes, she found herself alone in the room.
She quickly looked at herself; although her clothes were disheveled, she felt no pain as others had described.
She quickly got out of bed and checked the white towel that had been on the bed the night before; there were no bloodstains on it.
Nothing… What did this mean? She was certain it wasn't because of her past indiscretions that she hadn't bled… So… did he never actually take her?
How could that be? She was about to meet her father-in-law and father-in-law; how could she face them with this pure white cloth? Any explanation would be wrong…
Hailian slid weakly to the edge of the bed, then lay prone, a surge of urge to beat Jin Mingyue.
She knew he wouldn't let her off easily, but his irresponsible departure was incredibly painful.
After their wedding night, the groom was gone, and the bride hadn't bled; naturally, people would speculate that the bride hadn't been faithful before marriage, and the groom, upon discovering this, angrily abandoned her in the bridal chamber…
If that were the case, she'd be in deep trouble.
Helene slowly raised her head, staring straight at the expanse of white. Then,
she took out a hairpin from the jewelry box on the dressing table, gritted her teeth, and stabbed her finger with it. Then, drops of bright red blood fell onto the white cloth as a symbol of her purity.
Standing silently before the new bed, gazing at the red flowers dotted on the white kerchief, Hailian remained expressionless, only a deep sorrow flickering in her eyes…
Jin Mingyue waited. He sat alone in the small pavilion in the back garden, drinking wine, but had no heart to appreciate the beautiful garden scenery; he was simply waiting.
Hmph! That self-righteous old man. If he saw that his carefully chosen daughter-in-law hadn't blushed on their wedding night, his face would be very pleased.
A vengeful feeling gave him a surge of pleasure, and he deliberately ignored the accusations and hatred in the eyes of the man in his mind. "
Hailian, don't blame me for cruelly ruining your reputation. Who told you to conspire with my father to destroy my life's happiness?" Jin Mingyue thought to himself.
However, the wine was almost finished, and no one had come to deliver any message; this was too strange.
Just then, a young servant hurriedly ran over.
"Young Master! Master requests your presence in the main hall."
"What for?"
"According to custom, Young Master and Young Mistress must pay their respects to their parents-in-law."
Jin Mingyue stood up and nodded. Heh! The show is about to begin.
When Jin Mingyue appeared in the main hall, a large group of relatives and friends were already present, and his domineering father, who loved to make decisions for him, wore a beaming smile.
Smile! Just wait until he's no longer smiling! Jin Mingyue thought to himself.
Looking at his newlywed wife, she seemed even more beautiful and charming today. Her hair was styled in a bun, revealing a different kind of gentle grace in her youth.
However, only he and she knew that she hadn't become a woman; she was still a pure young girl.
And she didn't look at him; instead, her gaze remained fixed on the ground. Seeing her calm and dignified demeanor, without the fear he had imagined, he couldn't help but feel a surge of anger.
After the two bowed and paid their respects to Master Jin and Old Master Shi, the next ceremony was to present the bride's pure and flawless symbol to everyone, representing the completion of a beautiful marriage, a match made in heaven.
When a relative of the maternal generation took out a white handkerchief from the brocade box, Jin Mingyue had an impulse to shout "Stop!" Just as he was shocked at having such a soft-hearted thought, he was immediately stunned by what he saw before him.
There was blood on the white handkerchief?!
"Ah!"

Hailian was roughly pushed into the room by her new husband.
"Speak! What exactly happened?" Jin Mingyue questioned. He had held back all night, and everyone praised this little liar, but they didn't know her true nature; only he knew!
"Do you have to yell at me like this?" She was enraged by his self-righteous attitude.
"You brought this all on yourself!"
"Me?"
"Yes!"
"You flatter me too much. Without your cooperation, I couldn't have accomplished this..."
He suddenly reached out and grabbed her chin, coldly saying, "You think your scheme will succeed, that you can get what you want, is that it?"
"You can also go out and tell everyone that your new wife isn't a virgin, that her virginity isn't real, and I'll be dragged to be drowned in a pig cage. Wouldn't that be exactly what you want?" She felt her chin being crushed by his grip.
"You think I wouldn't dare?" He stared intently at her, his eyes serious and cold.
In the past, Hailian wouldn't have been so certain, but now, she was one hundred percent certain that Jin Mingyue wouldn't do that.
Perhaps he would roar and scream in front of her like a bear whose foot had been stepped on, jumping up and down in anger, but she knew he wouldn't really hurt her.
She suddenly reached out and gently stroked his handsome face, a touch that surprised even herself.
Jin Mingyue's body jolted, his dark eyes narrowing. "What are you doing?"
She jerked her hand back, struggling to get up and escape, but he grabbed her even faster, forcing her nose to nose with him, so close, so very close.
What had she just done? Helene felt a surge of panic.
"Were you just teasing me?" he asked in a hoarse voice, his dark eyes fierce, yet carrying an unsettling flame.
"I...I didn't..." She felt her cheeks burning.
He grabbed her slender shoulders and shook her violently. "I understand! I understand everything, you vixen, what tricks are you playing? Now I understand everything, you wanted to use that 'first come, first served' tactic, right?"
First come, first served? Helene's eyes gleamed, feeling her heart in turmoil, her mind a jumbled mess caused by the man before her.
"What if I am?" she asked.
"See! I guessed right. I've seen all your schemes..."
"Please don't take it out on innocent people like this, okay?" She wanted to yell back, but something seemed to choke her throat, extinguishing her momentum, and tears welled in her eyes.
She sounded like a pitiful little wife begging him! It was heartbreaking to see, and damn it, he actually fell for it!
Jin Mingyue glared at her fiercely, his eyes flashing with a gloomy light. "Don't think your tears can subdue me..."
"Who wants to subdue you!" she cried, "Do you really think I have to marry you? Do you really think I'm doing this willingly? Do you really think you're the only victim? Haven't you considered that I might not want to marry you either?"
He was stunned by her words. Yes! He had always thought he was the victim, that she must be doing it willingly, after all, the Jin family was incredibly wealthy. It could be said that one could live three lifetimes without consuming all the riches and honors; no one could resist such wealth and glory…
Was she… truly unwilling to marry him?
“You mean… you don’t want to marry me?”
“Yes! If it weren’t for repaying the kindness of Master Jin and my father, I wouldn’t have to sacrifice my entire life’s happiness!” She believed she was being somewhat hypocritical. But faced with his unreasonable and domineering behavior, she couldn’t care less; she had to protect herself from the scorching heat of this man’s anger.
His gaze fell on her face, her cheeks flushed, tears glistening in the corners of her eyes, her thick, long eyelashes drooping, adorned with pitiful teardrops, shimmering like stars in the sky… Her trembling lips seemed to accuse him of cruelty and heartlessness, as if he were a villain abusing her.
As if bewitched, he couldn’t help but lower his head and kiss her deeply.
At that moment, all misunderstandings and hatred vanished, replaced by his kiss.
Helene was bewildered and forgot to resist. She obediently and blankly allowed his lips to ravage hers unrestrainedly. She had never been kissed before, though his kiss was so domineering and wild, almost as if it wanted to steal her breath.
She slumped weakly in his arms, feeling as if she could just stay nestled in his embrace, experiencing a luxurious tenderness.
But he suddenly pushed her away, his expression seemingly confused and uneasy, muttering, "You vixen, what kind of sorcery have you used to bewitch me?"
She stared at him quietly, a cold smile playing on her lips. "You can resist me, can't you? Unless you can't resist this vixen."
Hearing this, he pushed her away forcefully, causing her to cry out in pain.
"No! I won't be stupid enough to fall into your spiderweb and let you devour me piece by piece. I still want to live!"
Before she could speak, he turned and left.
"Jin Mingyue, what exactly do you intend to do to me?" she asked desperately. Was he going to say nothing and just let them remain at odds?
He didn't turn back, but straightened his back and said coldly, "You can stay and be the young mistress of the Jin family, but that's all. You are not allowed to interfere in my affairs!" With that, he strode out of the room.
He was gone… Hailian slumped back to the ground, lost in thought.
She had succeeded, fulfilling the expectations of Master Jin and her father, becoming the young mistress of the Jin family. But that was merely the filial duty of a daughter to Hailian, a servant girl. The other young girl within her was now buried by responsibility and gratitude.
From then on, there was only the young mistress of the Jin family, and no more Hailian.
Ten years later
, "Young Madam, this is the household supplies, some new clothes, fabrics, jewelry, and other items that the young master sent... Oh, and this jade hairpin. I heard it's the same style as the jade hairpins the Emperor gave to the twelve princesses! Except the pattern on it is a lilac. And..."
Hailian interrupted the steward's long explanation, "Is there a letter from home?"
The steward hesitated for a moment, then shook his head awkwardly, "No."
"I understand. Take these things to the storeroom and put them away. I'll just keep this jade hairpin."
"Yes."
Once she was alone in the room, Hailian walked to the window, looked at the vast expanse of lilacs outside, and then looked down at the lilac jade hairpin in her hand, still feeling a little sad.
In the past ten years, she had experienced many things. Her father had passed away after enjoying a few years of peace, and her father-in-law had also gone to Qingshan Temple after entrusting everything to Jin Mingyue and her, where he lived a life of vegetarianism and Buddhist chanting, no longer concerning himself with worldly affairs.
Jin Mingyue, her husband, had indeed stopped harassing her after their argument ten years ago, and she truly hadn't interfered with his life.
He had tacitly accepted her as his wife.
However, on the surface, she was a pampered young lady, free from worldly troubles. Outsiders, unaware of the situation, would assume he worked hard because he loved his wife and wanted to earn more money to provide her with a better life.
Similarly, people began to say that his hard work stemmed from her insatiable desires, that she was a greedy woman forcing her husband to earn more to satisfy herself.
But regardless of what outsiders said, Jin Mingyue continued to send home household expenses and gifts every month, but aside from the necessary expenses for managing the household, she kept the rest in the storeroom.
If he was using this method to humiliate her, she could fight back in her own way; after all, she had initially married him out of gratitude.
Now that her two elderly parents were no longer around, she decided to break free from this shackle. She wouldn't allow herself to dwell on Jin Mingyue; she wanted to live a fresh start.
She longed to return to her former self, Shi Hailian, instead of being a gilded cage confined to an empty room and over twenty servants. She had already fulfilled her duties as the young mistress of the Jin family.
Moreover, her father-in-law's fears hadn't materialized. Jin Mingyue not only shouldered the responsibilities of the Jin family heir but also lived up to his expectations, expanding the Jin family business overseas.
Overseas… a distant place for her. She envied and resented Jin Mingyue's freedom to travel, so carefree, without a care in the world, because she was there.
He was so carefree! Leaving her alone like Wang Baochuan, but Wang Baochuan endured hardship for love in a cold cave, while she? She was nothing.
The title of young mistress of the Jin family was like a dazzling chain, suffocating her.
Ten years had passed; they hadn't seen each other for ten years, and she firmly believed they wouldn't meet again for decades to come. He wouldn't return, because she was here.
She sighed. What deep-seated hatred could make him not even want to go home? But what about her? On the surface, the Jin family mansion was her home, but once she left, where could she go?
She had lived for twenty-six years; how many more twenty-six years could she afford to waste? Her close friends were all married, and her best friend, Yunshan, was already a mother of three.
Touching her flat stomach, she knew her desire for a child would never be fulfilled, because she didn't even have a man, so how could she have a child?
Two clear tears silently streamed down Hailian's face. How much debt did she owe the Jin family? How long would it take to pay it off?
How long…
The words "a lifetime" made her jump, and she shook her head violently.
"No… no! How can I repay it with a lifetime? It's too unfair!"
She hugged herself tightly, as if she were freezing, and the jade hairpin in her palm stung her, jolting her awake.
She couldn't wait any longer; this matter had to be resolved!
She wanted a new life, to find Hailian again!
The next day, Hailian packed a few simple bags and left quietly without taking a single maid…
Chapter Three:
Jin Garden. The grand mansion's design was almost identical to the Jin family mansion in the capital.
Jin Mingyue was processing official documents in his study. The surroundings were silent; no one dared to disturb their master.
Ten years had not diminished his handsome appearance. Deep lines etched his forehead from frequent contemplation, his dark eyes shone with wisdom, and his tightly pursed lips revealed a man's mature strength and stubbornness.
He was no longer as impulsive and easily angered as he had been ten years ago; instead, he was reserved and calm, exuding a cold arrogance that made him seem unapproachable. His years in the business world, coupled with his unseen nature, made him all the more intimidating.
Jin Mingyue had truly become the head of the Jin family.
Wen Yue stood quietly outside the door. She dared not disturb him. Having served him for over ten years, she understood his temperament, but his heart remained unfathomable.
Wen Yue was a very beautiful woman, delicate and frail, seemingly able to be blown away by a gust of wind. She was someone who needed to be carefully protected. Being with Jin Mingyue, she could be said to have found great comfort and peace.
Without him, she couldn't imagine where she would be; perhaps she would end up in a brothel, or perhaps she would already be dead.
She was grateful to him, even willing to give everything for him, even her life, without hesitation. But she was also afraid.
For some reason, he always gave her a suffocating, tense feeling. Like now, she didn't dare go in to disturb him. Even if something terrible had happened, she still wouldn't dare knock on the door to tell him.
"Second Madam, haven't you seen the young master yet?" Wen Yue's personal maid, Cui Cui, was quite surprised to see her precious young lady standing outside the study as punishment.
"I'm afraid I'll disturb him..."
"Second Madam, no, if we're talking about the whole mansion, who can quell the young master's anger? It's probably only you, Second Madam, so don't be afraid!" Cui Cui didn't understand what Wen Yue was afraid of. Jin Mingyue's doting on her was well-known. If it weren't for the rumor that the young master already had a first wife, he probably would have married Miss Wen Yue as his principal wife long ago.
Cui Cui had long since decided that the beautiful Wen Yue was the young mistress of the Jin family, at least that's what more than a hundred people in the Jin Garden thought; Cui Cui also firmly believed that the young mistress of the Jin family in their old home in the capital must be old and ugly, like a greedy tigress, because if she weren't like that, why would Jin Mingyue be unable to go home and have to work so hard to earn money to send back to her hometown?
Perhaps the sound of the two talking disturbed the people in the study, because the door was suddenly opened, and a handsome but cold face appeared in front of them.
Cui Cui lowered her head immediately. "Young Master," she bowed respectfully. Every time she saw the Young Master, her heart would flutter wildly.
"Mingyue..." Wen Yue called out timidly.
Jin Mingyue was about to get angry, but seeing that Wen Yue seemed to be troubled, he temporarily suppressed his anger and asked gently, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
"No..."
"Cui Cui, quickly go and fetch Doctor Jiang!" He ordered without waiting for her to finish speaking.
Wen Yue grabbed his sleeve and said hurriedly, "I'm fine! It's from my hometown..."
"My hometown?"
"A message came from my hometown..."
His deep and serious gaze fixed on her face, making Wen Yue's heart pound with anxiety. "Is it my father?!"
Wen Yue quickly shook her head, "The old man is fine!"
"Then..."
"It's Sister Hailian... Ah!" Her wrist was suddenly grabbed tightly! It hurt...
"What happened to her?" Jin Mingyue's tone was urgent, but he didn't realize it himself.
"She... the steward said she left a letter, saying she was leaving to find herself..."
"That damned woman!" Jin Mingyue cursed under his breath, then left Wen Yue behind and strode towards the main hall. "Old Jin! Quickly prepare the horse!"
Upon hearing his master's order, the steward of Jin Garden hurriedly asked, "Young Master, what's the matter that's so urgent?"
"I need to go back to my hometown!"
Hearing "hometown," Old Jin was quite startled. In the past ten years, he had never heard the young master say he wanted to go back to his hometown. Why did he suddenly say he wanted to go back today?
However, despite his surprise, Old Jin quickly ordered the stable boy to prepare the horse and commanded the maid to quickly prepare the luggage.
"Young Master, has something happened to the Old Master? Or is there some trouble back home? But with the Young Mistress here, the old home has been quite peaceful and orderly under her management for the past ten years."
Old Jin and the head steward from the old home were brothers, serving the Jin family together for almost half their lives. The elder brother served in the old home, while he stayed by the young master's side. He was arguably the only person in Jin Garden who knew why the young master had left the old home.
"What else does that woman want?! She won't be satisfied until she's driven me to my grave, will she?!" Jin Mingyue muttered angrily to himself.
Old Jin's expression changed. "Is it the Young Mistress?"
Jin Mingyue looked up, his handsome face expressionless, even frighteningly cold. "Don't let me catch her, or I will absolutely not let her off!"
As soon as the horse was ready, Jin Mingyue leaped onto its back and quickly disappeared into the night, leaving a large group of people bewildered and confused.
Wen Yue chased after him, but Jin Mingyue was already gone. "Mingyue?!"
Cui Cui caught up with him. "Second Grandma, are you alright?"
