Chapter 116 - 116 115 Broken-Hearted
?Chapter 116: Chapter 115 Broken-Hearted Chapter 116: Chapter 115 Broken-Hearted Chu Lingxuan finally figured out why he always found Chen Afu familiar—it turned out that she looked too much like Mr. Chen!
Even though Chu Lingxuan didn’t explicitly express his thoughts, Manager Luo understood his master’s implication. He nodded and said, “Indeed, Madam Chen resembles Mr. Chen. It’s said that Mrs. Wang claimed to be pregnant a month after marrying Chen Ming. Considering that Chen Ming was close to death at that time, it’s hard to believe how…” He paused, before adding, “Besides, Mrs. Wang bore Madam Chen prematurely after only seven months of marriage. Without a doubt, Madam Chen is Mr. Chen’s legitimate daughter.”
After he thought about the hardships faced by the mother and daughter, Chu Lingxuan sighed deeply, feeling a profound sense of sorrow. Little did he know, women like his own mother—laden with suffering, yet enduring—still existed in this world. Perhaps, to them, death was liberation. However, for the sake of their children, they chose to live on, despite their formidable circumstances.
He also remembered the first time he came across Chen Afu, who appeared so destitute, bullied by a county magistrate’s son. If not for his timely intervention, he dreaded the possible outcome. Regardless of everything, she was a genuine young lady of an official family. She deserved to live a life of dignity. Having thought this, he felt an urge to treat Yan even better…
Chu Lingxuan picked up his teacup and took a sip, before he impertinently remarked, “Mr. Chen’s reputation has always been impeccable. He’s known to be courteous and principled—an official of rare excellence. Not even the Emperor could help but applaud him, yet who would have guessed there’d be such a huge skeleton in his closet? If a ruthless person were to know and exploit this secret, his name would be ruined. As for the evils committed by Mrs. Chen, it remains a mystery whether he was truly uninformed or pretended to be ignorant. However, if he knew and let Mrs. Wang become pregnant, only to later drive her out, his character would indeed be questionable.”
