Ever since his wife had uttered those words, the Old Marquis's dislike for her grew even stronger.
He dismissed his first wife's allegations, attributing them to her attempt to sow discord between him and Bao'er because she couldn't provide any concrete evidence.
The Old Marquis had always regarded his Bao'er as kind and virtuous. Even though he had blatantly broken his promise and fathered a child with his first wife, even designating that child as the heir, she had never complained or broached the topic.
In his eyes, Bao'er displayed great respect for his primary wife and had a deep affection for the heir. Regrettably, the heir had distanced himself from Bao'er at the behest of his mother.
In truth, she harbored a strong aversion to the idea of his children with Bao'er.
Now he recognized that his previous perception had been an illusion.
