Nanny Wang was just figuring out how to plead with Fang to let the Miss stay in the Marquis Mansion. Just then, Ren Hu, whom Chu Jing had sent to Ezhou to deliver a letter, returned with some news: immediately following his divorce, the Ezhou Magistrate's son had swiftly elevated his concubine to the status of legal wife.
Upon hearing this, Wen Shuyue instantly fainted from crying. Fang, who had initially planned to wash her hands of the matter, was immediately heartbroken.
She felt an overwhelming disgust and hatred for the Ezhou Magistrate's son. To brazenly elevate a concubine to legal wife while the Marquis Mansion still stood backing her niece was an outright insult. Fang ordered the appeasement gifts sent by the Ezhou Magistrate to be thrown right out the door.
After all, if it hadn't been for him favoring his concubine and destroying his wife, forcing Yue'er into a divorce, how could all these troubles have started in the first place?
