"Snap, snap"
Mrs. Lai, both angry and heartbroken, faced her husband's scolding and table banging.
Tears streamed down her cheeks as she cried out loudly:
"You now despise me because I'm old, fancying that temptress, claiming I've grown fat. After all, I bore you children, yet you treat me this way for someone who hasn't even entered our home."
This time, Mrs. Lai's words were not about children, but all the grievances she had towards her husband.
What women care about the most is their husband, and even in old age, they care about their reputation.
Mrs. Lai felt a major crisis, a sense of danger stemming from a secret within her heart—her eldest son was not her husband's biological child, a fact only known by her and her husband.
Her husband now wanted to take a concubine, to have his own biological son, which posed a great threat to her. After finally becoming wealthy, there might come a day when her husband would give the fortune to someone else.
