When Wu Lihong met the gaze of Prince Jin, he somehow felt a chill down his spine, as if something ominous was about to happen to him.
This feeling was absolutely terrible and all too familiar; it was the feeling of impending misfortune!
Ever since his separation from Madam Zhou at the Yamen, and subsequently being disowned by that wretched girl in front of the Yamen, Wu Lihong felt he had lost all his luck.
Take that separation, for instance; although it was handled with decorum and without much fuss, it looked as though he had come out ahead, but privately, he had lost all face.
A dignified fifth-rank official, being publicly divorced by a peasant woman from a poor family—how disgraceful!
Outwardly, people said she did it for his good, to part amicably, but separation rather than dismissal meant she disdained him, didn't want him.
