Maternal Aunt Liu thought she had suffered enough, yet it wasn't the end. Just over a month ago, her daughter returned to her natal home after a divorce.
That year, Ye Xinyan, whom she and her daughter once schemed against, also received a divorce paper. Yet, she didn't live back at Duke An's Mansion in disgrace; instead, she left that very day and carved out a new path for herself outside.
When she returned, Ye Xinyan had undergone a complete transformation. The return of that wretched woman, Ye Xinyan, directly plunged her and her son into misery.
If Maternal Aunt Liu couldn't accept being confined to the Buddha hall, or the aging face she saw reflected in a copper basin of water, then her daughter being disgraced as selfish and unfilial, kicked back to her natal home, utterly dashed her hopes.
Though Duke An's Mansion now had few people, it still possessed immense wealth. Yet, this overwhelming wealth shut its doors before them, leaving her and her son completely outside.
