Madam Jiang watched coldly from the side, but couldn't conceal her sadness. If she couldn't have children, she thought she could take in a maid who birthed a child and raise it as her own. She had it all planned out, but never imagined that the issue lay with Jiang Shilin...
Her life was destined to be childless. Someone she carefully chose became nothing but an empty promise in the end.
After interrogating Madam He, she confessed that she never was pregnant; she had merely misstimed her cycle and later couldn't maintain the lie, thus joined Madam Mei to stage a play to drive the lady away...
Madam Jiang, listening to this, was overwhelmed with anger and immediately had Madam He bound and sent off to the villa.
Jiang Shilin listened, tears fell from his eyes, realizing all the faults in their relationship were his alone...
Thud!
Jiang Shilin felt a sweetness in his throat and spat out a mouthful of blood.
