Madam w.a.n.g said everything in a loud voice and didn't even care if the people outside would hear her or not --- and indeed, they had heard everything clearly. The matriarch was surprised when she heard this, "What?! How could she... do this?!" She couldn't believe her ears.

Such a sweet woman, how could she do such a vicious thing?! She even dared to kill using her own hands! The matriarch had been through a lot of experiences and known about the inner battle courtyard as well, but as far as she knew, no one had dared to dirty their own hands --- this was really a first! Even she... she wouldn't dare to kill with her own hands.

If she used other people's hands, she didn't see the killing herself so at least, her life would still be peaceful...

Yao Ling could feel that the matriarch's breath turned into disarray and the former knew that her heart must have been broken, after all, she had just found out the truth herself. It seemed like w.a.n.g Luo Hai took this matter seriously because he didn't cover up her past crime. She thought that maybe... Liu Li's presence wasn't really needed.

Yao Ling patted the matriarch's back. "Grandmother, we should just listen to everything first, maybe she would finally tell Father the reason as well... Calm yourself down..." She didn't forget to ma.s.sage the correct acupuncture points so that the matriarch could be more relaxed when she heard more about the truth.

"Or, do you want to go back first? I will tell you all about it to you later?" Yao Ling offered.

The matriarch waved her hand. "No need... It's better if I hear about it myself..." She wanted to know what kind of things that Madam w.a.n.g had done behind her all this time. If other people were the ones who told her this, she wouldn't believe it. It was better if she knew the truth sooner!

"Grandmother... if you want to stay here and listen to them... promise me to calm yourself down, okay?" Yao Ling quickly tried to ensure her health by asking her to pay more attention to her state of mind.

The matriarch nodded her head because she understood Yao Ling's concern. Somehow, it warmed her heart to know that someone still cared about her and not faking her concern. "I know..."She forced a smile.

She looked around to the people inside the room and said in a stern voice, "All of you... go wait outside!"

The matriarch didn't want this news to leak out so she asked all of the maidservants and servants to go outside and bring the concubines along with them --- she only let Yao Ying and Yao Ling stay inside the dining hall. They had become the legal children and above of all, she trusted them. The others had no other choice but to go out of the room even though they were curious about the conversation.

The concubines were feeling unreconciled but what else could they do?! They were smirking inwardly because it seemed like today was Madam w.a.n.g's doomsday. After thinking about it, their moods turned for the better.

Yao Ying, Yao Ling, and the matriarch continued to listen in to the conversation inside with complicated expression on their faces.

"Why?" w.a.n.g Luo Hai asked in a choked voice. He could see that there was a mixture of disappointment and hatred deep in her eyes. He didn't think that he had done something wrong to her --- he always treated her well!

"Ha -- Ha -- Ha!" She laughed out loud like a lunatic. "Do you really need to ask me why?! How could you not understand my heart?! It seems like I really waste my youth for you! You have never thought about me in your heart, right?!"

"What do you mean?" He asked in annoyance. What about her heart?! It was her heart that was black enough to kill people around them easily! How could she blame everything on him?

"In your heart, you only have that stupid Jiu Lan! Then, what am I? I have been your wife for so long and you don't even put me in your eyes! No matter what I do, you never love me back!" The woman accused him of anger.

w.a.n.g Luo Hai tilted his head to the side. "Before we got married, I already told you everything... I love another woman and it would be hard for me to love another one. Didn't I already make it clear to you?! What do you expect?"

For a man who used his logical thinking, he knew that this was just a marriage without love and as long as he had given and provided everything, she should be satisfied! However, for a woman who used her emotional side, how could she not love him deeply more and more after spending a lot of time with him? Not only that but they also had an intimate relations.h.i.+p --- of course, the woman would expect more.

This was actually the result of different perspectives and feelings...

"I expect your love! Until I become crazy! I'm the silly one, thinking that I'd be able to make you love me as long as I tried hard enough!" Madam w.a.n.g said the thorn inside her heart. She had been wanting to vent her anger and talk about this for a long time --- it seemed like today was the right time to do that.

w.a.n.g Luo Hai shook his head and laughed bitterly. "If I had known that you will be greedy, ask for too many things, and finally turn into ... this... vicious woman, I wouldn't marry you back then." He didn't even want to get married in the first place and that was also the reason why he proposed those conditions to Madam w.a.n.g --- and she had agreed!

The matriarch sighed when she heard this. Was this all her fault? She forced w.a.n.g Luo Hai to get married and forget about his love for Jiu Lan... When he agreed, she had thought that he finally gave up his love --- it seemed like it was only her wishful thinking. They even had such an agreement behind her back...

Did she also the one who made Ruo An turned like this? The matriarch felt really guilty inside her heart...

Madam w.a.n.g talked once again, "Ha - Ha - Ha! It is too late for you to regret it! You have hurt me over and over again and I already got my revenge!"

w.a.n.g Luo Hai answered quietly, "I know..."

Madam w.a.n.g was surprised by his words but she didn't put it into her heart, because she knew... if he knew everything, he wouldn't let her off. Why would he bother to wait until this time to reveal everything?!

"What do you mean by knowing? Do you know that I was the one who..." Madam w.a.n.g was going to tell him her revenge back then.

w.a.n.g Luo Hai directly cut her off. "The one who gave me the infertile medicine...?" He asked in anger.

The first time he knew about this back then, he was beyond angry and became numb. He couldn't have his own children and it was the biggest shame for a man. He really wanted to kill her!
