Dong Hui was startled and speechless, looking at Shi Junhe in a daze.
Shi Junhe didn’t play dumb and asked with a bitter smile, “Do you dare to say that nothing happened between you and Yan Lü, and you are innocent?”
“It’s true. That night I just…” Dong Hui thought that Shi Junhe was mad because he misunderstood what happened that night, so she was anxious to give him an explanation.
However, Shi Junhe just shook his head and asked impassively, “Have I told you that I don’t want you to meet Yan Lü?”
Dong Hui stiffened and had to nod, yet soon she explained, “But it happened for a reason that night. Listen to my explanation.”
“Fine, stop. I don’t want to know what was going on that night.” Shi Junhe waved his hand wearily and didn’t want to listen to Dong Hui.
Because it was pointless.
No matter if something happened between Dong Hui and Yan Lü, it didn’t matter anymore.
The people who should misunderstand had misunderstood, and the people who wanted to find fault with her had got the evidence against her. Was it necessary to investigate?
The indifference in Shi Junhe’s eyes hurt Dong Hui. She was scared and grieved. Then she nervously grabbed his hand, begging, “Junhe, don’t be like this.
“I really didn’t cheat on you. You should trust me!”
Shi Junhe gently pushed away Dong Hui’s hand and responded distantly, “I have said that it doesn’t matter. I don’t care about this matter anymore. You don’t need to…”
“No, it’s not true!” Dong Hui interrupted Shi Junhe in a harsh voice and stared at him desperately.
She stressed each word. “I said that I just met Yan once and nothing happened. Why do you still suspect me?”
Shi Junhe got rash probably because of Dong Hui’s roar and couldn’t help saying furiously, “You know that Yan Lü has improper feelings for you, but you still met him in private. What do you want me to think about? Huh! Tell me!”
Dong Hui opened her eyes wide in disbelief and looked as if she was frustrated.
She hadn’t expected that Shi Junhe would speak evil of Yan Lü, as if their relationship was unpresentable, so she shouted more emotionally, “What bullshit are you talking about? Yan is upright. How can you say that he is so evil? You really disappoint me.”
“You are disappointed?” Shi Junhe sneered and his eyes were dark. He stated in a sharp voice, “You have a secret relationship with Yan Lü all the time. I am desperate.”
“Shi Junhe!” Dong Hui screamed loudly out of anger and looked at Shi Junhe with sorrow in her eyes. It seemed that she couldn’t accept that he talked about the relationship between her and Yan Lü like this.
However, after Shi Junhe finished his words, he didn’t dodge but stared at Dong Hui, protesting silently.
Dong Hui was irritated almost to death by his attitude, and she trembled in a rage. After a long time, she finally managed with effort to calm down. She restrained her urge to cry and then expressed in a sobbing voice, “Fine, fine! I see. You look down upon me and don’t want to be with me now.
“I won’t force you. I am leaving now, okay?”
Afterward, Dong Hui stood up from her chair in an instant and shouted to the outside, “Zheng, come in. Come in!”
Mammy Zheng was guarding outside while trembling all the time. In the beginning, she didn’t hear the voices in the room. Till they quarreled in louder voices, even the people outside heard them.
She hurriedly drove the servants around away as she was afraid that the secret would be heard.
Hearing Dong Hui’s order, Mammy Zheng walked in instantly. “Madam, what can I do for you?”
Dong Hui pointed to the room stiffly and responded in a cold voice, “Since somebody starts to dislike me, I will go back to my parents’ home and won’t humiliate myself here. Go to pack up for me now.”
Hearing that Dong Hui would go back to her parents’ home after they quarreled, Mammy Zheng was anxious and quickly knelt in front of her, begging, “Madam, Duke Shi’s mansion is your home! How can you leave home just because you are angry?”
Tears fell from Dong Hui’s eyes immediately as Mammy Zheng advised her.
She wiped her tears and meanwhile leered at Shi Junhe, saying coldly, “I am detested by somebody. What’s the point if I still stay at this home? I’d better leave as soon as possible so that I can give his new wife a room in the future.”
“What nonsense are you talking about? Where is the new wife?” Shi Junhe had a headache and touched his forehead. He was helpless as Dong Hui was unreasonable and made trouble out of nothing.
Nevertheless, Dong Hui got emotional again and pointed at Shi Junhe, cursing, “You didn’t talk nonsense and slander me and Yan?”
Shi Junhe kept silent as he saw that Dong Hui mentioned Yan Lü again after beating around the bush.
He looked as if he wouldn’t change his words no matter what she said, which made Dong Hui furious. She shouted again that she would go back to her parents’ home.
Noticing that something bad would happen, Mammy Zheng turned around and knelt to Shi Junhe. She kept kowtowing and begging for mercy. “My Lord, Madam is not good-tempered, but she loves you wholeheartedly, and even the gods in the heaven can testify her. Please coax her.
“Now she is pregnant. If she goes back to her parents’ home, wouldn’t she be bullied by her greedy relatives?”
Seeing that Mammy Zheng begged for mercy for her, Dong Hui yelled more angrily, “Zheng, don’t beg him! He doesn’t like me, and I don’t care about him. I have stayed in this mansion for long enough and can’t stay here for one quarter more. You pack up for me right away. I am going back to my parents’ mansion now.”
After speaking, she walked back to the wardrobe in person and pulled out her clothes since Mammy Zheng refused to do that. She spat at her husband. “Shi Junhe, I tell you. You force me to leave today. In the future, even if you go to my parents’ home and kneel to me to beg me, I won’t come back.”
Mammy Zheng was furious and anxious. She told her lady not to be so impulsive and begged Shi Junhe at the same time.
However, Shi Junhe just stood by and watched aside. Hearing that Dong Hui said something cruel without hesitation, he merely furrowed his brows.
After a long time, he couldn’t help but say coldly at last, “Since you want to go back, just go.”
With these words, Shi Junhe didn’t care about Dong Hui’s reactions and waved his sleeves while leaving directly.
So he didn’t know that after he went away, the bedroom fell into silence.
Hearing his heartless words, Dong Hui stiffened on the spot and still raised her hand to pull out her clothes. She was unmoved like a rigid statue.
Mammy Zheng came back to earth first. Seeing that Dong Hui was shocked, she hurriedly rushed forward and helped the lady sit at the bedside. Then she pressed Dong Hui’s chest continuously and cried, “Madam, don’t frighten me…”
After a long time, Dong Hui suddenly breathed in and straightened her back. She finally recovered, but soon tears fell from her eyes, and she couldn’t stop them anyway.
“Zheng! Junhe wants to abandon me…”
From the beginning, Dong Hui didn’t want to leave, yet Shi Junhe just bothered about her relationship with Yan Lü, so she wanted to force him to be soft by saying that she would go back to her parents’ home.
Before Shi Junhe spoke out those heartless words, she had thought that Shi Junhe would compromise in the end, but unexpectedly…
Dong Hui looked at Mammy Zheng in despair and asked endlessly, “What should I do? What should I do…”
Mammy Zheng was also in tears after hearing that and grabbed Dong Hui’s hand, advising her. “Madam, listen to me. Don’t be mad at His Lordship this time. He is angry now. Just give in and admit your mistake. This thing…”
“Admit my mistake?” Dong Hui shook her head emotionally and added in a rage, “I didn’t do anything wrong. Why should I admit my mistake? I won’t admit it. He misunderstood me first. He should apologize to me…”
“Madam!” Mammy Zheng was helpless because of Dong Hui’s stubbornness.
Dong Hui was wrong as she met another man in private and even many people knew that. Shi Junhe was kind enough as he protected her in front of outsiders. Was he not allowed to be mad?
If he was not mad, he would be a coward and deserve to be cheated on.
Mammy Zheng told Dong Hui each reason and hoped that the madam could realize that she could win back her husband’s love only if she apologized to him right away.
“Madam, go to see His Lordship now. Otherwise, it will be too late.”
“I…” Dong Hui hesitated.
After a long moment of hesitation, she looked at Mammy Zheng in embarrassment and added with annoyance, “I have just said something cruelly, but I will change my mind and apologize to him, admitting my mistake… I, I feel ashamed!”
“Madam, it’s not the time to consider your dignity now. Don’t be stubborn anymore…”
Dong Hui was hesitant and wrinkled her face more, yet in the end, she didn’t agree. Instead, she stated, “No, I can’t lower myself to that level.
“If I admit my mistake now, it means that I admit that I have an affair with Yan. How would I have the face to stay in this family in the future?”
Mammy Zheng almost went crazy because Dong Hui didn’t listen to her, and she thought, “You have met Yan Lü privately late at night. Doesn’t it mean that something happened between you two? Should he catch you having sex?”
However, Dong Hui just thought that her relationship with Yan Lü was pure, and she didn’t listen to Mammy Zheng’s advice. She was unwilling to go to see Shi Junhe.
Mammy Zheng had no choice but to suggest, “How about asking Lady Qingxue to beg her father for mercy. She is favored by him, and maybe he will stop being mad at you?”
Dong Hui also thought this was a practical solution, so she hurriedly told somebody to look for Shi Qingxue, but a servant reported, “Lady Qingxue went out of the mansion this morning and hasn’t come back.”
She asked, “Where did she go?”
The servant replied, “His Lordship told somebody to send her out of the mansion in person, and I don’t know where she is.”
After hearing that, Dong Hui was disappointed and couldn’t help complaining about Shi Qingxue, “A young lady from a powerful family doesn’t stay at home, yet she just goes out all day long. She is so misbehaved. I will teach her a lesson later!”
Mammy Zheng knew that Dong Hui was so angry that she started to vent on Shi Qingxue. She didn’t defend Qingxue but offered another suggestion. “How about asking Lady Baoning to talk with her father? She is gentle and His Lordship likes her. Her words would be effective, too.”
“Right, right!” Dong Hui agreed repeatedly.
Since Mammy Zheng still sat without doing anything, Dong Hui shouted angrily and anxiously again, “Why don’t you bring Baoning for me as soon as possible? What are you doing here?”
Mammy Zheng instantly stood up and walked out.
When she was on the way, she was stopped by Dong Hui. “Wait. Just ask Baoning to see her father. Don’t waste time here.”
“Yes, yes!”
As soon as Mammy Zheng went away, Dong Hui was sorrowful again and began to sigh with a sad face. “Junhe, we are a couple, but why are you so cruel? Don’t you care about our love as we are a couple for so many years?”
Soon after she sighed, she shook her head first and denied it. “No, he won’t be so heartless. He loves me so much. As long as Baoning says something nice to him, and I am soft to him later, this matter will pass.”
Dong Hui waited in the bedroom for nearly one hour and looked at the room door for many times, yet Shi Junhe didn’t come.
When she was almost restless, she saw that Shi Baoning walked in with a worried face, with Mammy Zheng and the manservant Shi Jie following her.
The three entered the room. Dong Hui craned her neck to look at the outside all the time but she didn’t see anybody, so she had to ask, “Where is your master?”
Shi Baoning and Mammy Zheng didn’t speak.
Only Shi Jie took a step forward and bowed to Dong Hui, saying seriously, “His Lordship said that if you really insist on going back to your parents’ home to expect the baby, he won’t stop you. Madam, you can go whenever you want. If you want to come back, just send him a letter.”
After speaking, Shi Jie knelt to Dong Hui on one knee again and continued before Dong Hui asked, “I have sent the message, and His Lordship is waiting for me to report back. I have to say goodbye now.”
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
Dong Hui was startled and speechless, looking at Shi Junhe in a daze.
Shi Junhe didn’t play dumb and asked with a bitter smile, “Do you dare to say that nothing happened between you and Yan Lü, and you are innocent?”
“It’s true. That night I just…” Dong Hui thought that Shi Junhe was mad because he misunderstood what happened that night, so she was anxious to give him an explanation.

Otherwise, it will be too late.I Dong Hui hesitated.After a long moment of hesitation, she looked at Mammy Zheng in embarrassment and added with annoyance, I have just said something cruelly, but I will change my mind and apologize to him, admitting my mistake I, I feel ashamed!Madam, it's not the time to consider your dignity now. Don't be stubborn anymoreDong Hui was hesitant and wrinkled her face more, yet in the end, she didn't agree. Instead, she stated, No, I can't lower myself to that level.If I admit my mistake now, it means that I admit that I have an affair with Yan. How would I have the face to stay in this family in the future?Mammy Zheng almost went crazy because Dong Hui didn't listen to her, and she thought, You have met Yan L privately late at night. Doesn't it mean that something happened between you two? Should he catch you having sex?However, Dong Hui just thought that her relationship with Yan L was pure, and she didn't listen to Mammy Zheng's advice. She was unwilling to go to see Shi Junhe.Mammy Zheng had no choice but to suggest, How about asking Lady Qingxue to beg her father for mercy. She is favored by him, and maybe he will stop being mad at you?Dong Hui also thought this was a practical solution, so she hurriedly told somebody to look for Shi Qingxue, but a servant reported, Lady Qingxue went out of the mansion this morning and hasn't come back.She asked, Where did she go?The servant replied, His Lordship told somebody to send her out of the mansion in person, and I don't know where she is.After hearing that, Dong Hui was disappointed and couldn't help complaining about Shi Qingxue, A young lady from a powerful family doesn't stay at home, yet she just goes out all day long. She is so misbehaved. I will teach her a lesson later!Mammy Zheng knew that Dong Hui was so angry that she started to vent on Shi Qingxue. She didn't defend Qingxue but offered another suggestion. How about asking Lady Baoning to talk with her father? She is gentle and His Lordship likes her. Her words would be effective, too.Right, right! Dong Hui agreed repeatedly.Since Mammy Zheng still sat without doing anything, Dong Hui shouted angrily and anxiously again, Why don't you bring Baoning for me as soon as possible? What are you doing here?Mammy Zheng instantly stood up and walked out.When she was on the way, she was stopped by Dong Hui. Wait. Just ask Baoning to see her father. Don't waste time here.Yes, yes!As soon as Mammy Zheng went away, Dong Hui was sorrowful again and began to sigh with a sad face. Junhe, we are a couple, but why are you so cruel? Don't you care about our love as we are a couple for so many years?Soon after she sighed, she shook her head first and denied it. No, he won't be so heartless. He loves me so much. As long as Baoning says something nice to him, and I am soft to him later, this matter will pass.Dong Hui waited in the bedroom for nearly one hour and looked at the room door for many times, yet Shi Junhe didn't come.When she was almost restless, she saw that Shi Baoning walked in with a worried face, with Mammy Zheng and the manservant Shi Jie following her.The three entered the room. Dong Hui craned her neck to look at the outside all the time but she didn't see anybody, so she had to ask, Where is your master?Shi Baoning and Mammy Zheng didn't speak.Only Shi Jie took a step forward and bowed to Dong Hui, saying seriously, His Lordship said that if you really insist on going back to your parents' home to expect the baby, he won't stop you. Madam, you can go whenever you want. If you want to come back, just send him a letter.After speaking, Shi Jie knelt to Dong Hui on one knee again and continued before Dong Hui asked, I have sent the message, and His Lordship is waiting for me to report back. I have to say goodbye now.
