“Is that so?” Yun Mei lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes hiding her expression. He wanted to focus on his wife, but she had gone to comfort the young widower. He had no reason to blame her; he had not fulfilled his responsibilities as a husband in two years. If she desired another man, he understood. In the future, if she wanted him, he would not refuse. Yun Mei’s eyelashes trembled slightly; he should have been serving her.
“Young master, I also heard that Young Master Xu came to see the young lady.”
Yun Mei raised her eyes, “Which Young Master Xu?” Could it be him? Was he still unmarried?
Dao’er looked at Yun Mei in surprise, “Young master, don’t you remember? Besides the Young Master Xu who was previously betrothed to the young lady, who else could it be?”
Now it was Yun Mei’s turn to be surprised, “He’s still unmarried?”
Dao’er nodded, “Yes, I heard his heart is still attached to the young lady. The young lady seems to be very popular among the men in Shili Town.”
“What happened afterwards? Did he meet the wife?”
“No,” Dao’er shook his head, “The young lady left as soon as he arrived and missed him. I heard he is already engaged and about to marry soon. He came to see the young lady before his wedding, just like you did back then. He probably…” Dao’er realized he had misspoken and looked at Yun Mei worriedly, “Young master, I didn’t mean anything else.”
Yun Mei had lowered his eyelids. He did not regret visiting the Second Young Lady before his own wedding. That Young Master Xu coming to see his wife must mean he wanted to marry her. Would his wife marry him? She had previously said she would only marry him, so would she marry someone else now?
Yun Mei’s mind was unsettled.
Dao’er was reminiscing about the Second Young Lady when a servant entered, bowing, “Cloud Zheng, the steward wants to see you.”
Yun Mei raised his eyes, puzzled. Dao’er eagerly instructed, “Let her come in quickly. There must be news about the Second Young Lady.”
Yun Mei’s heart filled with mixed feelings. How could there be news about her now, when they had decided to no longer contact her?
