Chen Shujing agreed to the divorce. He signed the divorce paper and had his attendants deliver it to the Mei Mansion.
He also sent word to Xue Xingyao, telling her not to involve Shen Mingxiao in their affairs.
The dead deserve respect.
She was already gone; she shouldn't be disturbed even in death.
Upon receiving the divorce paper, Xue Xingyao felt liberated, but Mrs. Xue was filled with a bitter unease.
The man who had been so dead set against the divorce had suddenly relented.
He had even signed the divorce paper and sent it to Ah Yao, hastily severing their marital bond.
'It was proof enough that Miss Shen was no ordinary person, that she held a uniquely important place in Chen Shujing's heart.'
'In his heart, Ah Yao could never compare to Miss Shen.'
A heavy weight settled in Mrs. Xue's chest. 'My poor daughter... How did she end up following my own bitter fate?'
'Ah Yao has been wronged so terribly.'
