"General Chi, I…"
"Please excuse me, Madam Ku. I have nothing to say to you." General Chi had no interest in interacting with Jian Yu Tan. Years of separation and the truth that he was being used had already consumed the last bit of his affection that was left.
He knew very well that Jian Yu Tan only cared for him for the sake of his power and wealth behind him.
But he didn't want to be used.
After several years of living in the dark and being pushed around by these people as if he was nothing more than a tool, General Chi was already exhausted.
He didn't want to follow their words anymore.
His feelings had limit. Knowing the truth that he was nothing more than a tool used by Jian Yu Tan, he refused to have any interaction with her. And not being able to see her for so many years, he no longer had any affection for her.
Thus, he could easily walk away.
"General Chi!" Jian Yu Tan's face was dark but General Chi didn't even take a look in her direction and walked away. Her fingers clenched the side of her dress tightly, nearly ripping it apart.
In the past, General Chi would never treat her this coldly. No matter what she asked, he would fulfill it. But it was different now.
General Chi didn't even want to talk to her.
He simply walked past her and avoided her very cleanly and straightly.
"General Chi had made a lot of contribution in the war and planned to rest, but some people didn't allow him to." A woman's voice could be heard filled with mocking tone.
Jian Yu Tan turned to look at the woman who spoke and gritted her teeth. "I was only worried about him."
"Whether you're worried or not, that's not my business." The woman closed her fan and looked at Jian Yu Tan up and down. "But a flower that already had bees, should not attract the butterfly to e too."
Wasn't this saying that she already married and shouldn't try to attract more men?
Jian Yu Tan was angry, but she couldn't do anything. This woman's status was higher than her husband, who was demoted not long ago.
Ku You had been very angry at home because his position was lowered. Even if he didn't scold her directly, it was unavoidable that this matter should be related to her because her natal family had just been forced down.
This was why she wanted to find a way out for herself.
Unfortunately, she didn't succeed.
General Chi no longer wanted to be her tool and instead walked away, intending to live his own life without having to be tied to this past of his.
