The next steps were much simpler. That very day, Duke An found a moment to speak with Yin Long, discussing the divorce arrangements for their children.
Yin Long had found out just days before that his son-in-law, Ye Hongyang, had brought home another woman from the outside, and his son, Yin Xiaocheng, was quick to gather information. Soon enough, he learned that this woman's background was eerily similar to that of Maternal Aunt Liu, who had been brought into the family twenty years ago.
Yin Long and his wife were furious, fuming with anger. They believed Ye Hongyang was deliberately trying to make their daughter's life miserable, to torment her to death!
Madam Yin had returned to her parental home for a short stay the day before, her resolve to divorce unwavering.
