231 with lingering fear

After all, a day as husband and wife means a hundred days of gratitude, and after so many years of affection, coupled with the passing of much time, Ye Gaoshui's anger had long since subsided significantly. Seeing Mrs. Zhao in such a pitiful state, he couldn't help but feel compassion.

Actually, if it weren't for the several children at home, Ye Gaoshui really would have wanted to divorce Mrs. Zhao.

Having such a wife, even if there were a mountain of gold at home, it wouldn't be enough for what she'd taken to her parents' home. Ye Gaoshui truly felt uneasy.

A full 20 taels of silver, he didn't know where Mrs. Zhao got the courage to take it all back to the Zhao Family without leaving a single bit.

Thinking back on Lady He's scolding, even Ye Gaoshui felt he deserved it. He was solely focused on living a good life, but alas, although the household was successfully divided, the ones who ended up living well weren't them but rather the ungrateful wolves of the Zhao Family.
