Chapter 195 She is the only one in my heart
She clenched the handkerchief in her hand, her mind full of thoughts, trying to find a ray of clarity in this mess, but the more she struggled, the deeper she fell into chaos.
How did Deng Guiping know her secret? This question haunted her like a ghost, making her upset.
The house was silent, with only the occasional bird calls outside the window being particularly clear.
The afterglow of the setting sun shone through the carved window lattices, stretching the shadows of the two people long. They sat facing each other like this until the last ray of sunset in the sky sank into the horizon.
Finally, Mo Yi and Xuanwu returned in the night.
"grown ups!"
Mo Yi's voice sounded outside the door, respectful but with a hint of urgency.
Fu Yansheng slowly stood up and walked out of the room. After a brief conversation with her, a maid came into the room holding a brand new set of gorgeous clothes, saying that it was specially prepared for Ling Mohui.
The fabric is soft and delicate, and the embroidery is exquisite, making the lights in the room seem softer.
Ling Mo, who had changed into new clothes, pushed open the door and happened to see Fu Yansheng with a distorted face, leaning against a mottled pillar in pain, his figure looking particularly lonely.
When he saw Ling Mohui, complex emotions flashed in his eyes, a mixture of love and hate, contradiction and powerlessness.
"Ling Mohui, you secretly bought this house just to secretly meet that man behind my back? Is that right?"
Every word was like a heavy hammer, hitting her heart hard.
Ling Mohui frowned slightly and asked, "Where are the others?"
"died."
Fu Yansheng's words were as cold as ice, without a trace of warmth.
Dead? Deng Guiping's death was too sudden and too easy to be believed.
But then, a sense of relief arose in her heart.
It would be better if she died. In this way, her unbearable secret would be buried forever and no one would know it anymore!
She responded softly with "Oh" and walked towards the door without looking back, as if she was eager to escape from this depressing space.
However, Fu Yansheng suddenly reached out and grabbed her wrist tightly.
"Don't you have anything to say to me?"
His voice was hoarse, with a desire that couldn't be ignored.
Ling Mo turned her head and looked coldly: "What do you want me to say?"
Before she could reply, Fu Yansheng had already pulled her into his arms, so tightly that she could hardly breathe. It was a desperate hug, as if he wanted to embed her into his bones.
"Explain it clearly! As long as you deny it, I will believe you!"
He almost begged.
She sneered in her heart. He didn't want to listen to any explanation before, but now he was eager to seek answers. This sudden change in attitude made people disheartened.
Why not take this opportunity to force Fu Yansheng to agree to a divorce and put an end to it once and for all?
Fu Yansheng is a conservative and old-fashioned person. His wife's infidelity is undoubtedly the biggest insult and blow to him.
Taking advantage of this opportunity to achieve a peaceful divorce is undoubtedly the wisest choice.
Ling Mohui struggled to break free from his embrace, her voice filled with indifference: "I have nothing to explain. You killed my lover. What else do you want me to say?"
After saying that, she turned around resolutely and left in big strides, leaving Fu Yansheng alone there, tightly entangled in pain and unwillingness.
When Ling Mohui stepped into the Grand Secretary's Mansion again, she saw her parents, brother and sister-in-law sitting together in the center of the hall, while her sister Ling Zhiyun was lying in her mother's arms, crying softly.
Zhang had a sad look on her face as she sat in the first seat. When she saw Ling Mo coming back, she felt like a drowning person grabbing a life-saving straw.
"Mohui, you're finally back! Where's Yansheng? Hurry up and ask him to come over. Why did he suddenly ask for a divorce from Zhiyun? What's the hidden story behind this?"
Zhang spoke rapidly, her anxiety evident in her words.
Ling Mohui gently turned sideways, sat down on a chair next to her, and said calmly: "Mom, you should just ask him directly."
Only then did Zhang notice Fu Yansheng's dull face and decadent demeanor.
"Yan Sheng! Your father-in-law and mother-in-law are waiting for you here."
Zhang stood up, walked forward and reminded softly.
Fu Yansheng came back to his senses from his trance, bowed to the two elders in front of him, and said in a low and firm voice: "Father-in-law and mother-in-law, I have decided to be with Mo Hui for the rest of my life, so I will dismiss all the concubines and give her all my loyalty and love."
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the hall. Ling's mother's face suddenly turned livid, and she angrily questioned: "Fu Yansheng! Why do you want to divorce Zhiyun again for no reason! If you don't give us a reasonable explanation today, don't even think about letting us take Zhiyun home easily."
Ling Zhiyun's tears fell like pearls from a broken string. Her eyes were filled with despair and pleading. She looked at Ling Mohui in front of her, her voice choked but firm: "Sister, I beg you, please leave Yun'er a glimmer of hope for survival. As long as, as long as you don't let my husband drive me out of the Gu family, no matter how difficult the task is, no matter how harsh the request is, I am willing to bear it."
Ling Mohui heard this, a complex expression flashed in her eyes, she sighed softly, and said helplessly: "Sister, you said this as if I could shake Fu Yansheng's determination. You know, in order to fulfill your wishes, I have knelt at his feet countless times, begging him to agree to our divorce, but he always turned a deaf ear. Although I am the legal wife, I am powerless in front of his feelings."
When Ling Zhiyun heard this, her tears welled up even more. She turned helplessly to Fu Yansheng with a look full of expectation yet mixed with fear, as if she was looking for the last glimmer of hope.
Ling's father and mother listened at the side, and the balance in their hearts began to subtly tilt.
They recalled that Ling Mohui had indeed proposed divorce from Fu Yansheng more than once, and each time was to fulfill Ling Zhiyun's wish.
This made them realize that the problem was not with their daughter, but with Fu Yansheng's indecision in this relationship. His heart could neither completely belong to Zhiyun nor let go of Mohui completely. As a result, he was caught between a rock and a hard place, hurting the hearts of two women.
Father Ling's anger rose up, and his words were filled with the majesty and unwillingness of a father: "Fu Yansheng, you had no interest in my little daughter at first, but now you have gone back on your word. What tricks are you playing? Do you think that there is no one else who can marry the daughter of our general's mansion except you?"
Fu Yansheng looked solemn, bowed deeply, and said sincerely: "Father-in-law, I am willing to swear a solemn oath here. From today on, there is only Mo Hui in my heart, and I will never do anything to hurt her again. I am willing to bear the consequences of my past confusion and hesitation."
When Ling Zhiyun heard this, tears flowed like a stream. She felt deeply humiliated: "What about me, husband? How can I cope with this? If I am divorced and sent back to my parents' home, won't everyone in the capital treat me as a laughing stock after dinner?"
"Rather than being laughed at, I'd rather end my life by myself and disappear from the capital. At least I can preserve the reputation of both families."
