Once a loving couple, they now grew weary of each other. She had long wanted to divorce her husband, but she had no choice in her current dependent state.
However, her dowry had long been used up by the Princess Mansion, and the shops and lands had all fallen into her husband's hands. She blamed herself for trusting this unfaithful man!
Even though she received a monthly allowance from the court, this small sum of money was not enough to pay the servants' wages.
Nowadays, the income of the Princess Mansion came from the business owned by her husband, and most of the servants had sided with him.
If they divorced, according to the Great Nan Law, all the properties under her husband's name would have no relation to the Princess Mansion.
By then, the Princess Mansion would struggle to maintain even basic expenses.
