Chapter 1 Three Years Later

"Yan has no talent or virtue, is disrespectful to her superiors and unkind to her subordinates, is jealous and overbearing, and is unfit to be the mistress of the Bo Mansion. I am giving you a letter of divorce, and we will never see each other again, no matter how bad it is."

"Seeing you are in such a miserable state today, as long as you sincerely repent and come back to kowtow and admit your mistakes, I can keep you in my house for the sake of the child and save you from the suffering of wandering around."

The words of farewell three years ago seemed to be ringing in his ears, and the words of charity three years later hit his mind again. Yan Chaonian was dazed for a moment.

She didn't understand how she could meet her ex-husband who had kicked her out of the house three years ago when she was thousands of miles away in the southwest. Countless memories flooded into her mind at once.

She married into the Earl's house at the age of sixteen and lived a brief, warm and harmonious life there.

Her mother-in-law was neither kind nor mean. Her husband, though not affectionate nor loyal, respected her. Her son was not close to her but was well behaved. She thought her life would be like that of most women, enduring year after year until she became a mother-in-law and the most honorable person in the mansion.

Until the appearance of the chivalrous woman named Jia Ruzhen, the apple of the eye of the master of Feiying Fort, with great martial arts skills and pretty appearance, she was unruly but smart and clever. Her appearance made the man in front of him come alive.

They would work together to solve strange cases, ride horses together, practice martial arts, laugh and play together, and have endless things to talk about.

His joy for her grew day by day, and finally, during a horse ride in the suburbs, they both fell off a cliff into a valley. Thereafter, they used the sky as a blanket and the ground as a stove, spending seven whole days together in silence.

Then there was a tug of war, one of them swore never to be a concubine, the other would rather die than let go, their love was earth-shattering and everyone knew it.

As a result, she, the legitimate wife, became a complete joke in the capital. Her mother-in-law scolded her for being dull and boring and unable to keep a man. Even her son said that she was not as smart as Aunt Zhen, so she was generous.
At this time, Jiang Wencheng's eyes were full of criticism. Seeing Yan Chaonian again after three years was unexpected for him. Seeing her without makeup and wearing simple clothes reminded him of how she looked in Bo's Mansion, and he actually felt a little regretful in his heart.

Considering that she was the mother of the eldest son of the Bo family, it was really embarrassing for her to live away from home, so he wanted to let her go back.

"Three years ago, I promised that if you repented, you would still have a place in the Bo's Mansion for the sake of your giving birth to Yuan'er. You left without any news for three years, but you are still complaining?"

Yan Chaonian pulled himself out of his memories and looked around. The person was still the same, but no longer as handsome and elegant as before. It was obvious that life after marrying his beloved was not as easy as he had imagined.

And she
Thinking of her husband who was on his way back from the victory and her son who could already walk on his bound feet, her brows softened a little and she unconsciously revealed a faint smile.

Seeing her eyes filled with joy, Jiang Wencheng's heart was full of disdain. When he heard that she was going back to the Earl's Mansion to enjoy a good life, she laughed so contemptuously and his words became colder.

"During the three years you were away, Ruzhen took care of all the affairs of the Bo's Mansion. Now Ruzhen is the mistress of the Bo's Mansion. You can only be a concubine if you return to the mansion."

"Ruzhen has always been kind and generous, and doesn't care about the details. As long as you serve your mother honestly and do your job well, no one will make things difficult for you."

Yan Chaonian remained silent, not knowing what to say to this man who took things for granted. At this moment, a handsome young boy ran over with a kite, his face full of flattery, "Father, look at this kite, it's very beautiful. Take it home to your brother, he will definitely like it."

"By the way, I heard that the owner of Chaojinfang that father is looking for will come tomorrow. I also heard that Chaojinfang has produced rare brocade. Why don't we go and take a look? If it is really as exquisite as those people say, we can bring it back to give to mother. Mother likes beautiful clothes the most."

The mother and brother he mentioned were Jia Ruzhen and her child. Yan Chaonian looked at him carefully. He had grown a lot taller after not seeing him for three years and seemed to have become more sensible.

"Have you met your mother?"

Jiang Wencheng was a little embarrassed. The eight-year-old Jiang Chongyuan just recognized Yan Chaonian. At that moment, his eyes were not filled with joy at seeing his mother, but he was busy trying to distance himself from her. "Father, what are you talking about? My mother is in the capital. I don't know this person."

In an instant, my heart felt like it was being pinched by a big hand and it hurt.

Yan Chaonian had a bitter smile on her lips, thinking that she had already moved on and that the past could no longer hurt her. However, her own son's words still hurt her deeply. The past flooded into her heart and almost made her unable to stand.

"Young Master is right. We don't know each other. This gentleman has mistaken me for someone else." She turned to leave, but her wrist was suddenly grabbed by Jiang Wencheng. "You are still as stingy as ever. Yuan'er is your son. It's normal for him to feel a little strange after not seeing you for three years. Can't you coax him and apologize to him?"

"If you weren't so narrow-minded, Yuan'er wouldn't have been separated from you for three years. This is all your fault."

Yan Chaonian shook off his hand and said, "I told you, you got the wrong person."

"This tactic of playing hard to get doesn't work, Yan, my patience is limited, I won't give you chances forever, if you continue like this, you won't even be my concubine anymore."

If it weren't for the reputation of the Earl's Mansion, he would never have gotten involved with Yan. Although what happened back then was a bit unfair to her, as long as she agreed to move him to the position of a concubine, she would still be the lady of the Earl's Mansion and enjoy honor.

Ruzhen is a woman of the world. She cannot stand being restricted and cannot take care of household chores. The power of the family will still be in the hands of Yan's family. However, not only is she unwilling, she also almost harmed the child in Ruzhen's belly. With such a vicious heart, it is already a special favor for him to be willing to give her another chance.

"Does father want to take her back? Absolutely not. This is not fair to mother."

Jiang Chongyuan panicked.

"After she returns, how will the people in the capital view her child and her mother?"

His mother wasn't as kind to him as before after he had a younger brother. If this man went back, his mother would definitely ignore him and she wouldn't let him go to Feiying Fort anymore. He wouldn't be exposed to those exquisite skills anymore, so how could he stand out in the school?
He stepped forward and pushed Yan Chaonian hard, "You did this on purpose, didn't you? You found out where your father was and followed him here on purpose. You didn't have a good time outside so you wanted to return to the Bo's Mansion, didn't you?"

"I'm telling you, forget it. I won't agree."

Seeing his ferocious expression, the anger and disgust in his eyes were genuine, Yan Chaonian took two steps back to steady himself, then he let go of those sour memories and took a deep breath, "You two really got the wrong person."

"Yan, you've overacted."

Jiang Wencheng didn't care whether she came here on purpose or not, but she still acted arrogantly even though he gave her ways out several times, which was really ridiculous.

"Do you think the Bo family can't do without you? Or do you want to control him by relying on the fact that you are Yuan'er's biological mother, and make him beg you to go back and give you enough face?"

"In that case, you should reflect on yourself carefully. When you have made up your mind, come find me. Whether I agree to your return will depend on your attitude."

After saying that, she turned away. Jiang Chongyuan glared at her severely before turning around and following her.

Looking at the father and son's backs as they left, I let out a heavy breath and felt upset.

The sudden encounter three years later was so unexpected that it reminded her of her miserable past without any warm memories.

Thinking about what Jiang Chongyuan said again, could it be that they traveled thousands of miles to the southwest just for her?
