She had guessed correctly.

“Who asked you to come? I heard that Old Madam Li is ill and your oldest and second sisters-in-law are also ill. So it must be your third sister-in-law? Now everything has fallen on her shoulders. She must be exhausted?”

Li Dahai had not discerned the sarcasm in Gu Yunshuang’s tone. After all, for the past few years, he was used to his impression of Gu Yunshuang. Now he did not know that the Gu Yunshuang before his eyes was different from the Gu Yunshuang whom he had known.

Li Dahai nodded frankly. “It was her. The house is in a mess lately and Mother is very ill and needs someone to take care of her. There’s no one else but Third Sister-in-law to take care of her. She can’t manage.”

Li Dahai raised his head and looked at Gu Yunshuang. He said sincerely, “Yunshuang, it’s not the same having to raise your child in your natal home. Mother hasn’t been well recently. Come back with me! Apologize to Mother, take good care of her, and she will forgive you.”

Gu Yunshuang’s lips twitched. “We’re already divorced. How can I go back? Are you going to marry me again? Do we need to hold a wedding?”

Li Dahai was stunned!

Hold a wedding?

“This… we’ve already been married for so many years. We even have a child together. We’ve just had a quarrel. Just come home and it will be fine. Is there any need to hold a wedding? That’s too troublesome and such a waste of time.”

As he spoke, Li Dahai bowed his head. He looked very distressed. “One thing after another has happened in our family. Especially Mother. She’s old now and we always have to pay the doctor when he sees her. We’ve spent a lot lately. Where will we find the resources for a wedding?”

Gu Yunshuang stood there silently.

When Li Dahai saw that she did not speak, he continued, “Yunshuang, come back with me! You really don’t need to worry that Mother won’t let you enter the house. She’s ill now! Come back and take good care of her for a while and apologize to her. She will certainly forgive you.”

Gu Yunshuang laughed. She seemed rather amused. “Are you saying… you want me to apologize to her? What did I do that was wrong? Why is your mother angry with me? Tell me?”

Li Dahai was stunned!

What had she done wrong?

His mind was suddenly blank.

Gu Yunshuang said, “Li Dahai, do you remember the child I was carrying? You beat me until I miscarried.”

Li Dahai was stunned again. Only then did he remember the child that had been lost.

“I… don’t worry, Yunshuang. We will have other children in the future…”

Gu Yunshuang looked at this man. She felt that he was rather funny. She was not at all hurt by his indifference. Perhaps her heart had grown cold after so many years. She did not have any feelings left for this man.

“Your mother has mistreated me for so many years in the Li family and you have never spoken up for me. Tell me, what’s the use of marrying a man like you?”

Li Dahai turned pale. “Yunshuang, how can you say that? I… haven’t I been good to you? I’ve worked hard every day and always obeyed you. I really do care about you deeply.”

“But you did not protect me when your mother bullied me.”

“I may not have protected you, but I was good to you! After all, she’s my mother and our elder. You just have to give in to her. Mother is so old. Surely, I can’t argue with her?”

Gu Yunshuang continued, “For many years in the Li family, I single-handedly did all the housework. Your mother and the others never lifted a finger to help. They treated me like a slave and ordered me about like a servant. You did not help me either.”
