“Everyone in the Ye family kept persuading your father-in-law to break up with me and your grandparents-in-law even gave him a good beating but he insisted on getting our marriage license. This was how we became man and wife and soon, I was pregnant with Ye Hao.”

“So why did you get a divorce?” He Xiyan’s eyes widened as she looked at her mother-in-law unable to understand why they had to divorce even after Xia Jingshu was pregnant.

Xia Jingshu smiled wryly and she suddenly clenched her hands that were slightly wrinkled with age tightly and deep sorrow welled up in her eyes. Her voice also turned hoarse as she continued, “Thereafter, the daughter of Ye City’s mayor, Shen Lu, had her eyes on him. The Shen family was influential and she was the daughter of an important official. The Ye family was also rich back then but they were not as influential as the Shen family. In order to force your father-in-law to marry her, they made it such that the Ye family businesses were unable to obtain the land that they needed and many of their projects and proposals failed to be approved by the government. The Ye family business was on the verge of collapse.”

“So… father-in-law married Shen Lu in order to protect the business.” He Xiyan placed her hand over her chest and felt her heart ache. She could guess why Ye Hao was born without a father by his side.

“Yes…” Xia Jingshu smiled coldly. She wasn’t laughing at anyone but herself. When forced to choose between love and his business, he ultimately chose business. Despite all his promises of love, when the Ye family business was on the brink of collapse, Ye Zhiyuan ultimately chose to protect the Ye family and his family’s wealth. At the same time, he also abandoned his wife who was three months pregnant at that time.

“Then, I left Ye City and went to another city where I gave birth to Ye Hao. After Ye Hao was born, all I cared about was my own child. I only wanted him to grow up well and poured all my love into him because he was my life.”

Xia Jingshu wiped the corners of her eyes when she got to this point of her tale, as though this was what had hurt her most.

He Xiyan immediately gave her a cup of tea and patted her back.

“Mum… don’t worry. I’ll definitely take good care of Ye Hao and I’ll never leave him” She knew what her mother-in-law was worried about but she had only moved into the castle after seriously giving this matter a lot of consideration. Furthermore, she truly loved her husband. As long as he didn’t abandon her, she wouldn’t leave him either.

She could guess what both her mother-in-law and Ye Hao had been through. They were both abandoned and had relied on and supported each other while Ye Hao’s dad married another woman and even had three other children with her. She could guess what their circumstances were like back then because she had been through something similar. She was also kicked out of the Mo family and gave birth to Yuan Yuan alone in a foreign city while Mo Yixuan married another woman the day she delivered her child.

She could understand their pain.

Xia Jingshu took another sip of tea and after she calmed down, there weren’t any tears left in her eyes but the sorrow that she felt for the past 30 years could still be seen on her face.

“Yan Yan, I trust you,” she said as she pursed her lips and held He Xiyan’s hand once more. Her gaze landed on He Xiyan’s swollen belly.

This was her grandson and she was soon about to become a grandmother. The fact that she managed to live till her son settled down and her grandson was born meant that she would die without regrets.

He Xiyan also looked at her belly. This child was growing extremely fast recently and her stomach grew bigger day by day.
