Chapter 816 Different Thoughts (2/2)

Drugged one night by her ex-boyfriend, a mysterious man took advantage of her in an ecstatic night filled with sex.

To take her revenge, she married the man, and used him.

”As long as I'm alive, I'm still his legal wife, while all of you are just his mistresses.”

She remained adamant even when he was involved in scandals with other women.

Eventually she stormed off after she learned that he had betrayed her again.But life brought her back to him a few years later, to his astonishment.

ou are so courageous.”

Lady Hua Guo smiled. She lowered her head and put the account book aside. Then she looked up at Yun Shang without any smile on her face. After a long silence, she asked, ”How is Ling'er?”

Yun Shang nodded, ”Everything is fine. But she couldn't remember anything about the past, and she just treated the Emperor as a stranger.”

”It's ok as long as she is alive.” Lady Hua Guo lowered her eyes and smiled bitterly. ”Since I got married, I've always hoped to have a daughter. And I finally had my Ling'er after several sons. She was the apple of everyone's eye in the mansion and every loved and spoiled her. Fortunately, even so, Ling'er did not turn into an arrogant girl. We didn't want her to go to the Palace just because we knew that she would not feel at ease being restrained in the Palace. But since she wanted to, we didn't insist. However, we didn't expect that such a thing would happen.”

Lady Hua Guo sighed, ”At that time, we felt like the sky was falling down.” In the past 20-odd years, we have never forgotten her. Now that I know she is still alive and everything is fine, I'm so grateful.”

After a pause, she shook her head and said, ”In fact, I don't want her to come back. Now the Palace is much more complicated than before. Look at those ladies, they are all very scheming. Although the Empress has gone, there are still many other concubines. Ling'er is the last person to deal with such a situation, and the last thing she wants to do is to share her husband with other women. Even if she comes back, even in the high position of the empress, she still can't be happy.”

”I don't want my daughter to live a unhappy life.” Lady Hua Guo said softly.

Yun Shang kept silent for a long time and said, ”But the news that Empress Hua is still alive is almost known to all in the State of Xia. Those people won't be relieved even if Empress Hua doesn't return to the Palace. As long as the Emperor still loves Empress Hua, Empress Hua can't really stay out of it. In this case, I'm afraid that staying with His Majesty is safer for her.
