“Do you know why Ye Fan almost died in Japan back then? It's because he went to get the Yasakani jade so he could create this protection for you. Your husband has been protecting you when he's alive and even in death! If it wasn't love, then what? Qiu Mucheng, what else do you want him to do?” Chen Nan scolded the widow as her face was wet with tears.
She felt bad for Ye Fan.
He was a great man who sacrificed for Qiu Mucheng and his family. In fact, he had been secretly doing all that.
Qiu Mucheng, Ye Ximei, and all his family members knew nothing about it.
He was a foolish man who never told anyone about the hardship and dangers he faced.
Instead, he did his best and provided for the people around him.
Sadly, all his efforts only fruited him a family that fell apart after his death.
He had sacrificed his life to protect Qiu Mucheng, but she hated him. Even worse, she was not even willing to admit that she was his wife.
Perhaps Ye Fan had not been a good husband and a father.
Nonetheless, Chen Nan did not think Qiu Mucheng had done an excellent job, either.
When Ye Fan was busy battling with his life on the line, the woman did nothing to help him out.
Not once did she help him eliminate his enemies or solve his problems.
She even secretly hoped for his business to fail. And now, she complained that he only cared about revenge instead of his family.
Chen Nan felt it was not worth it.
If Ye Fan married Xu Lei instead of Qiu Mucheng, things would've been better. Xu Lei could've helped him to protect Yanjing, eliminate the Chu Sect's affiliated families, and weakened their finances.
In fact, Chen Nan believed she would be a better wife compared to Qiu Mucheng.
Though she could do nothing to help, she would give Ye Fan all her support and understanding.
When he was not at home, she would manage everything at home well and take good care of his mother. She would also arrange his clothes well and help him give flower baskets to his friends and family at major events.
When he was home, she would prepare a table full of delicious food. Moreover, she would also boil hot water for them to soak their legs. Before they slept, she would give him a massage to relieve his tired and injured body.
Although Chen Nan could not help on the frontline of the battle, she would manage everything behind the scenes so that Ye Fan had fewer concerns on his mind.
Even if he had fallen, she would not dwell in sorrow and step out from behind the scenes without hesitation. She would take up the responsibility of the Queen of Jiangdong to stabilize the situation and protect everything her man had fought for while she awaited his return.
Chen Nan could not help but question what Qiu Mucheng had done for Ye Fan.
Not only is she a bad cook, but she also has deserted her husband after tragedy struck him. And now, she dares to complain about him!
Naturally, Chen Nan felt that Ye Fan's efforts had gone to waste.
After her outrage, she felt exhausted.
She did not have the energy to carry on with her words. Hence, she leaned against the wall and wept.
She missed Ye Fan.
She missed the man, who had a smile as warm as the sun.
When he was around, Chen Nan did not appreciate his presence.
Now that he was gone, she finally understood what devastation felt like.
Jiangdong, Li Er, and even her own father were crushed.
