My Alleged Husband

Chapter 1519: Chapter 1313: When the Wind Blows, the Grass Bows

What you see when the wind blows the grass low is nothing but melancholy. When you look up at that moment, at least a ray of light shines on your head, and you will find that everything is what you most desire.

Everything you once had is merely the passing clouds; losing it one day will not matter.

Zhang Ni couldn’t understand what his grandfather meant by these words. After all, he is still very young, hasn’t gone through marriage, and doesn’t know what the greatest betrayal in marriage means. Seeing his father’s astonished face, who had always resolutely refused, become stunned just because he said a few words, he wondered if this matter was truly that serious. Could it be that they have indeed reached an irreparable outcome?

”Although I don’t know exactly what happened between you and my mother, I hope you are only telling me about it. Never speak of these things to anyone else. Perhaps telling me won’t have a significant impact since I am your child, and no matter what, I would never say anything against you. I have to consider the family’s reputation, but if you tell others about it, the results will be entirely different, and the whole family’s reputation might suffer a great deal of harm!

I know that by telling anyone about this, it’s because you want to protect the family’s reputation. Otherwise, how could you tolerate it to this extent? This matter isn’t as simple as you think, and you don’t love my mother as much as you imagine. After going through these events, there is a certain estrangement between you two. Some of these gaps may be easily resolved, or you might never be able to eliminate them in your lifetime.

When you told me these things today, I don’t know if you considered whether I might betray you and speak harsher words, making you feel that these matters are only full of embarrassment and not worth any discussion. But when I see you like this, I can’t say any harsh or callous words. I only hope you can live happily and sincerely treat my mother.

Regardless of whether my mother loves you or how she chooses to deal with you, this family, or your marriage, I believe that everything she does is not deliberate. She easily makes mistakes and never considers any consequences, acting recklessly. He never feels what he does is wrong because he believes that since you can tolerate him, you can forgive him, regardless of what he does. But he didn’t expect that this matter could create a rift in your once-perfect relationship; otherwise, he might not have acted as he did.

I don’t want you to let grandpa know about this. If grandpa knew, he could not accept it from the depths of his heart. You have such a reputation, hoping you can get along well. Every word you said can casually dismiss them and prove everything wrong.”

Zhang Ni couldn’t understand what his father meant by these words either, and he didn’t feel comfortable asking. He could only gaze at them, seeing his father and grandfather talking back and forth, yet he couldn’t interject at all.

”Rest assured, I told this to you only today, not to anyone else, because I understand this concerns my wife’s reputation issue, and I cannot just disregard my wife.

Many issues, even if you as family don’t care, I must care. She is my wife, and I would never abandon her, regardless of time and place. She once willingly roamed the world with me, proving that somewhere deep inside her heart, she was sincere in treating me and truly wanted to spend a lifetime together. No matter what changes happened afterward or what decisions she later made, I can only choose to face it candidly. I have no reason or qualification to avoid it. The harm might be great for everyone, but for me, I hope that harm remains within me forever and is never changed by anything else.

You probably still don’t understand why I chose to do this now. Perhaps you have no thoughts about telling me. You may think I’m too foolish and naive, believing that, even if I give up everything, I will still mean nothing in your mother’s eyes and won’t spend a lifetime genuinely with her. But I’m just such a person. Others may not understand me, but I am true to my conscience. As long as I am faithful to my heart, heaven, earth, and parents, and I have my children, it proves that I indeed have a clear conscience.”

Zhang Yichen sighed. From the beginning, he knew his father loved his mother deeply. But when he heard his father say these things today, he still had a hard time believing it. Is this really his father? Why does he love his mother so much? In his father’s heart, she is the most perfect woman.

Reflecting on his own actions, has he truly been worthy of his wife? What has he done for himself? He now lives here in this state, depending on these things to sustain his life. Has he truly not been wrong? Time and again, has he revealed all the wrongs to the world, letting everyone see the mistakes his parents made? Have all his actions truly been correct?

”I knew from the beginning you loved my mother, but I haven’t loved my mother as deeply as you. But you could endure the greatest disgrace in silence. I don’t know if it makes you foolish or naive. Do you really think that doing so can earn a woman’s trust in you? Even if you sincerely extract your heart for her, if she doesn’t love you, she will not stay for you or change for you. If a woman is willing to change everything for you, it proves that deep inside, she only has you. But if, at that moment, you hurt her, it only shows that you don’t truly love her sincerely, only causing harm. Everyone should live by putting themselves in others’ shoes. If one’s past thoughts lead to destroying another person, it only means one is excessively extreme!”

Indeed, the greatest vulnerability and confusion are just that. When you realize everything’s impermanence and it doesn’t align with your imagination but you can still handle it calmly, that proves your heart has already let go of everything.
