Chapter Four Hundred and Thirty: Wei Heng Loves Her

, she went into the house, and her face instantly fell.Meng Jinyu seeing this, felt even more sympathy for her mother and angrily said: "Mother, elder sister is too much! You are her mother after all,...Just then, a woman wearing a veil stood a few steps away from them.

This person was none other than Mei Qingyun, who had been the subject of much gossip. As she listened to the two ladies discussing her and watched Meng Jinyang being helped into a carriage by a maidservant, she felt a tightness in her chest.

Once abandoned by her because of an injury that left him with hidden ailments, Gu Jingxi not only has a wife now but is also about to become a father.

It is rumored that Meng Jinyao was diagnosed with pregnancy after returning to the capital. The child was conceived during their time in Huizhou. While in Huizhou, Wei Heng repeatedly mocked Gu Jingxi as a useless person in front of her. As it turns out, Gu Jingxi had long since recovered.

How could this be

Why would God play such a cruel joke on her

Gu Jingxi had a wife and children, and in the future, she would have both sons and daughters. However, her life was a mess.

What qualifications does Meng Jin Yao have

She even managed to marry Gu Jingxi by getting lucky, becoming Mrs. Gu.

Mei Qingyun watched the carriages of Changxing Houfu drive away, her heart heavy with sadness over her fate.

After a moment, Mei Qingyun shifted her gaze to the two noblewomen a few steps away. She thought they looked familiar, but she hadn't seen them in years and couldn't recall who they were. However, listening to their conversation, one of them seemed to have a grudge against her, though she had no recollection of ever meeting this person or how such a grudge had formed.

And those two ladies hadn't noticed Mei Qingyun's presence. Besides, she was wearing a veil and didn't look at people with her true face, so they wouldn't have noticed her. After Meng Jiny Yao's carriage left, they didn't talk about the topic again, and they walked away.

Mei Qingyun's maid, seeing her mistress gaze intently at the two ladies as they walked away, whispered, "Miss, please don't take their words to heart."

Hearing the voice, Mei Qingyun came to her senses. After over a decade, she had shed the identity of a daughter-in-law of the Wei family. Now, being called "young lady" again felt strange, as if the person addressing her wasn't really her.

She returned to her natal family in the capital with a divorce notice. Her family all assumed she had been abandoned because she had not given birth to a child after many years, but she herself understood that Wei Heng had suddenly become irrational and let her go as a way out.

That day, Wei Heng learned that Gu Jingxi had arrived at Hangzhou Mansion. He silently pulled her onto the bed.

After their intimate encounter, she angrily scolded Wei Heng: “Wei Heng, what time is it Are you still in the mood for this Gu Jingxi has arrived at Hangzhou Prefecture. He must be investigating your brother-in-law’s deeds over the years. When that time comes, both the Han family and we will suffer the consequences.”

But Wei Heng instead handed her a divorce letter, saying softly, “You should go.”

She saw the divorce papers being passed to her and was completely dumbfounded. She didn't reach out to take them, just looked up at Wei Heng with a dazed expression, utterly confused about what he meant.

Soon, Wei Heng said: "Mei Shi, you have been in the Wei family for ten years without producing a child, which violates the seven rules of the wife. Today, pack your belongings and return to your Mei family tomorrow. We husband and wife will be separated from now on. I will tell my mother about this later."

She was both surprised and astonished when she heard this.

To know that she had been childless for many years, Wei Heng had never thought of divorcing her. Now he was using the fact that she couldn't have children as a reason to divorce her

Over the years, the couple had countless arguments. She wanted a divorce or to be left, but Wei Heng refused both times. He told her not to dream anymore and vowed to entangle himself with her for life, torturing each other until death, and even after death, he would want to be buried with her, continuing to torment each other in the afterlife.

For so many years, Wei Heng had never said a word, but at this crucial moment, he gave her a divorce letter. There must be something fishy going on!

She stared blankly at Wei Heng for a long time, then suddenly smiled: "Wei Heng, I have harmed your offspring and concubines. You used to hate me so much that you wanted to strangle me, this venomous woman Would you set me free at this crucial moment This letter of divorce must be a joke you played on me, just to watch me rejoice in my rebirth, only to strike me down again and tell me the divorce is fake, so I wouldn't dare to dream anymore Don't try to fool me. After years of marriage, can't I still know what you're thinking"

Wei Heng merely looked at her silently for a long while, without refuting anything. He simply said, "The ship sets sail tomorrow morning. I have already made the arrangements. You should have your people pack their belongings well."

Having said that, Wei Heng placed the divorce letter down and left without looking back.

She saw that Wei Heng didn't seem to be joking, and she felt strange. Out of curiosity, she opened the letter and read the contents. It was a real divorce letter! She suddenly felt like she had been reborn after a disaster.

Wei Heng's conviction would bring misfortune upon his entire family. She faced two choices: exile or being sent to the imperial prison work camp.

Now that Wei Heng has given her a divorce letter and cut ties with her, she won't have to suffer any more.

Although she would be ridiculed when she returned to the capital because of this leave of absence, it was a good thing for her. The more others ridiculed her, the more people would curse Wei Heng as a villain when they learned that he had been corrupt, bribed officials, and murdered court officials and was being escorted back to the capital for trial.

Her ex-husband was no good, and everyone would also feel that she must have had a hard time in the Wei family for so many years without having children. She could gain sympathy, and some people would comfort her, feeling fortunate for her that she didn't have to suffer with Wei Heng. Before Wei Heng was escorted back to the capital, she just needed to play the role of a heartbroken widow after being abandoned well.

Her mother loved her dearly. After she returned home, her mother made it clear that if she didn't get married in the future, the Mei family would support her for life. However, her sister-in-law probably wouldn't be too happy about her not getting married, but her mother could still protect her. There was no need to rush into marriage.

But she never expected that after returning to the capital, she would suffer such a heavy blow. Gu Jingxi recovered from his illness, and Meng Jinyang was pregnant.

Originally, everyone was doing well, but in the end, only she wasn't.

Gu Jingxi and Meng Jinyao were a loving and harmonious couple, and they were about to become parents. When everyone learned that she had been abandoned, they ridiculed her, comparing her situation with the marriage between Gu Jingxi and his wife and Wei Heng. This was undoubtedly like adding salt to her wounds.

The maid seeing her silent and unresponsive, asked again, "Miss, what's wrong with you"

Mei Qingyun's thoughts gradually returned, she glanced at the maid blankly, then shook her head gently: "It's nothing, let's go back."

Then, Mei Qingyun also got into her family's carriage and headed home.

On her way home, Mei Qingyun thought of her ex-husband Wei Heng again.

After Wei Heng gave her a letter of dismissal that day, he never appeared before her again. Before she returned to the capital, she wanted to find Wei Heng, but Wei Heng did not see her. He only had someone send her to the dock to board a ship.

They had tortured each other for so many years, Wei Heng had never thought of giving her freedom, but now he let her leave, which made her a little confused about Wei Heng.

Could it be that Wei Heng has feelings for her

But, how could that be possible

Wei Heng hated her so much, wishing he could kill her. How could he possibly have feelings for her

It's impossible.

That is absolutely impossible.

Mei Qingyun shook her head repeatedly, denying the guess in her heart. She quickly shifted her thoughts, suppressing herself from thinking about this issue any further.

She is now a Miss Mei, not the daughter-in-law of the Wei family. She has severed all ties with the Wei family.and, please continue." She then rose to her feet and left the table.Meng Jinyáo returned to her inner room and casually flipped through the ledgers of her mother's dowry, land, and accounts. Out of t...
