“You want to break up?”

Co Jinghong's voice was cold as ice.

"What identity do you have to dare to mention those two words? As expected, coming from a family background, you don't even know where to put your face and integrity. Your ancestors just passed away, can't you help but reveal your true face?"

In the study, the disgust in his eyes was still the same as three years ago. Those eyes looked at me as if looking at something that made me hate them from the bottom of my heart. I stood outside the threshold, from beginning to end, never taking a single step inside. I originally thought that if he heard me proactively ask to leave, he would be happy. After all, in the past three years, he has never had a single day of truly treating me. I sighed softly, turned around and was about to leave. Who would have thought that behind him, a sentence full of arrogance and coldness could be heard.

“You only deserve a retirement letter.”

Our steps suddenly stopped. I turned my head to look at him, momentarily unable to believe it. Ask yourself, in the past three years, have I ever done anything wrong to him? But in the end I didn't say anything. Just quietly turned around and left. Originally, I no longer had any feelings for him. Now witnessing that arrogance and disrespect with my own eyes, the last bit of softness has completely disappeared. Not long after, the General's Palace received an invitation from the Prime Minister's Palace. I personally decided to refuse the invitation on behalf of the palace, citing the reason that the old lady had just passed away not long ago and was inconvenient to attend the banquet. Until that afternoon. My room door was kicked open by someone from outside. The loud noise caused the entire door to tilt. For the first time after three years of getting married, Co Canh Hong proactively walked into my room. This is also the first time setting foot in this new room. I calmly stood up, looked at the distorted door before my eyes, then looked at him again.

“Why do you dare to refuse the invitation from the Prime Minister's office?”

“What right do you have to decide on your own?”

“Grandmother has only been in the land for less than three months, so it's really not suitable to attend a party…”

But he didn't listen to everything I said. On his face were only expressions of contempt and mockery.

“I understand.”

"Just because Vu Nhi will also be there, you deliberately refused the invitation, wanting to prevent me from meeting her."

“Indeed, the most poisonous thing is still a woman's heart.”

He laughed coldly.

“I will definitely come to that banquet.”

“And you... can't stop it.”

Having finished speaking, he waved his sleeves and left. From beginning to end, I was not given a chance to say another sentence. I stood still in place. Too lazy to explain. Waiting for his figure to completely disappear from the yard, the corner of my lips curled up slightly. A faint, unfathomable smile. Not long after, I also set out for the Prime Minister's Palace. Just don't go with him. He spurred his horse and rushed like the wind. It seemed like there was someone there that he was anxious to meet. And I sit in the carriage, slowly moving forward. Not fast, not slow. Just a distance away from him. Along the way, gossip spread through the wind.

"Have you heard? The old lady of the Co residence has only been gone for three months, yet little General Co has already rushed to attend the banquet."

“Whose party was that that made him disregard his filial piety like that?”

"It's not because of the master of the banquet. I heard it's because of a woman."

"I heard... I'm also someone else's concubine."

“Real or fake?”

"For the sake of a woman, ignoring filial piety is truly unfilial!"

“Lady of Co Palace had already refused the invitation on his behalf. Yet when he found out, he forced his wife to take the invitation back."

“Now I'm riding alone to the party.”

“What kind of party are you attending? Aren't you going to meet a beautiful lady?"

Mocking laughter rang out each time. Hearing those words, not only did I not get angry, on the contrary, the smile at the corner of my lips deepened a bit. I just don't know today at the Prime Minister's Palace... Whether there is anything more exciting waiting ahead or not. When I arrived at the Prime Minister's palace, the banquet had not yet begun. Although the Prime Minister's wife knew clearly that I came from a merchant family, she did not show any disdain. On the contrary, she was still very enthusiastic, personally inviting me to walk in the back garden to admire the scenery and enjoy the flowers. We look at the flowers. But there are also people looking at the flowers. Unfortunately, what he was looking at intently was not the countless colorful flowers in the garden, but the tear-stained face of the beautiful woman in front of him, like a pear blossom in the rain.
