It was midnight.
The plum courtyard was especially silent at this time. Only a few lamps were lit that outlined the isolated courtyard.
Li Rui was sleeping inside her room and Xi Ying whom she couldn't see was sitting on the edge of the bed looking at her peaceful face.
His heart was in turmoil after he had heard her talking about herself like that. His heart clenched remembering her every word.
The despised wife. She was named this because of him.
He wondered if Li Rui hated him. Because in her mind, it was he who stopped her from seeing Xi Ling.
How could a mother not hate someone who separated her from her child?
In a corner of the heart, there was this fear and panic.
What if she really hated him?
