"How did you get here!" Yun Qi asked indifferently.
Yun Chen looked at him, "Second brother, how did you become ?"
Indeed, how had he ended up in such a state.
Once, he too was driven and optimistic, heading out joyfully, returning cheerfully, thrilled to no end just by the thought of Shu-niang waiting at home for him, completely oblivious to the directions.
Then that year, Shu-niang bore him Jinnian, and he was absolutely over the moon.
A soft and tender daughter, ah, the crystallization of his love with Shu-niang.
They were a happy family of three.
He thought they would always be happy, until that day, she woke up in Auntie Su’s bed, and then Auntie Su, crying, went to kneel before Shu-niang, who immediately turned pale, and then she cried.
At that moment, Yun Qi knew, he was doomed.
Although Auntie Su kept saying it was her fault, Shu-niang said nothing, only that she didn’t want to see him.
He desperately explained, swore an oath, but in the end, waking up in Auntie Hua’s bed turned into a colossal joke.
Shu-niang no longer wanted anything to do with him.
She never let him come near her again.
For four years, the woman he loved was right by his side, yet as distant as the horizon.
The most despairing part was that Shu-niang actually got together with his third brother....
Third brother professed his love for Shu-niang, and Shu-niang, from beginning to end, never offered an explanation, only demanding a divorce, wanting to leave with Jinnian.
He didn’t want a divorce, how could he bear to divorce her.
He had already thought it over, Shu-niang despised him, and now she too had done it once, could it not even the score.
But Elder Brother and Mother would not let Shu-niang take Jinnian away, insistently saying that Jinnian was the Yun Family’s child and must stay in the Yun Family, so Shu-niang went to the village estate.
Jinnian lived in the Yun Family as if it were better to be dead, he knew it, but chose to look the other way, to ignore it.
So Shu-niang hated him, Jinnian hated him.
Everything was his own fault.
But he was really so lonely, so alone.
Yu Rou’s appearance eased the pain in his body, but his heart ached more and more, grew emptier and emptier, and everything that came after just became increasingly unmanageable!
There was no going back, never going back....
Yun Qi’s eyes red with rage, turned to look at Yun Chen, "It was you who destroyed my family, it was you who wrecked my love. It was you, your ever-so-filial mother, she destroyed me, my family, my love!"
"There are many things I have no proof for, but I’m certain, whether it’s Auntie Su or Auntie Hua, or the affair between third brother and Shu-niang, Mother must have been involved, your wife, and most likely the third brother participated too!"
All of these were Yun Qi’s suspicions, but he had no proof.
Therefore, his suffering was real.
Shu-niang didn’t believe him, wouldn’t believe him.
And he couldn’t find any evidence.
Yun Chen, stupefied, truly wished he had never come.
"You’re drunk, and you’re crazy!" After Yun Chen roared this, he turned and left.
When it came to Jinnian, the Yun Family all felt guilty.
They couldn’t speak of it, couldn’t mention it, for bringing it up was like slapping themselves in the face with a stinging impact.
