Qi Rui returned to the study in disgrace.
He locked the door and, like a madman, threw numerous objects around.
Today, Anning brought up the incident with Bai He from years ago, making him feel intentionally humiliated by her.
Bai He was just a maid, and she has been dead for many years, probably even her bones have decayed, why bring her up now?
In truth, speaking of that time, it was indeed Qi Rui who was at fault.
He was young then, and admittedly somewhat impulsive.
Before Qi Rui married Anning, he was particularly close to Zhou Zhenniang, and he truly adored her.
But Zhou Zhenniang's status could never make her his official wife. When choosing a spouse, he considered many factors before deciding to marry Ye Anning.
Yet, after marrying her, he felt he had wronged Zhou Zhenniang and thus harbored resentment towards Ye Anning deep inside.
Moreover, Ye Anning came from a scholarly family, and had an elegant and lofty demeanor, which Qi Rui greatly disliked.
