Before leaving, she still cast a glare at her son-in-law…
Watching this, Ye Zhi rubbed her forehead. After her mother left, she did not stand up but sat on the edge of the bed, turned her head inward, and avoided looking at him: "Did you just come from court and bring the divorce papers with you?"
The man sighed gently, crossed the threshold, and walked in with a warm tone: "Are you upset because I've spent little time with you these days?"
The wife ignored him.
He walked to her side, sat down, and continued: "Do you remember Gongsun Ye, the great master of the Gongsun family? I had a deep friendship with him despite the age difference. He was bedridden and had little time left, just yesterday he passed away. I was entangled with a case, and the master's condition was uncertain, so I often visited him at the Imperial Clan Court."
Ye Zhi was stunned, so that was it.
