“Yes, young master.” Dao’er covered Yun Mei with a blanket and left through the pearl curtain. Although the young master loves the Second Young Lady, he has married the young lady. She had treated him well, and even after his misdeeds, she still married him. Despite being cold for two years, she wasn’t angry upon discovering his correspondence with the Second Young Lady. She must still love him. If only he could reciprocate her feelings, he wouldn’t be so sad.

After Dao’er left, the pearl curtain swayed, making a sound. Yun Mei’s gaze fell on the curtain, his eyes gradually unfocused…

“When she returns, I will write a divorce letter for you…”

“I tolerated your past actions, but that doesn’t mean I will continue to do so. I hope you take care of yourselves.”

Jin Yu’s words echoed in the room, freezing Yun Mei in place. When he returned to his senses, cold sweat had formed on his forehead.

If his wife had truly written a divorce letter, what would he do? He had married the Jin family’s eldest daughter and could never marry the Second Young Lady again. He would have nowhere to go. His wife had loved him for so many years, enduring his mistakes and marrying him despite his ruined reputation. How could she suddenly give up on him?

Her mention of a divorce letter was likely a warning against any behavior that would insult her or the Jin family’s reputation.

Feeling more at ease, Yun Mei considered the changes in Jin Yu. He casually glanced at the crystal curtain hanging by the bed.

“In the past, the young master focused entirely on the Second Young Lady and neglected the eldest daughter.”

Yun Mei closed his eyes. Perhaps he should start paying more attention to his wife.

After assigning the rent collection task, Liu approached and said, “Steward Zhao, I’m here to pick up a letter for the Second Miss.”

The housekeeper responded coldly, “You won’t need to pick up letters anymore.”

“Steward, what do you mean?”

Liu, close to the Second Miss and loyal to Jin Mo, had always delivered letters to Yun Mei and Jin Mo. She had just delivered one that morning and usually received a reply from Yun Zhengfu by afternoon.
