Chapter 103: Ghost Story

…

He Zhiyao took away the plate she had left unfinished when Qin Shuang went to the bathroom to freshen up.

While brushing her teeth, Qin Shuang couldn't help but recall He Zhiyao's threatening words from earlier.

There would be no divorce, only widowhood.

Better to live poorly than to die well.

This was the first time she knew the phrase "Better to live poorly than to die well" could be used this way.

However…

What did he mean?

No divorce?

He didn't plan to divorce her?

Qin Shuang was stunned by her own thought, had He Zhiyao gone mad, or had she?

Or had she gone mad along with He Zhiyao?

How could He Zhiyao possibly not plan to divorce her?

What kind of joke was this?

She would rather believe she might be insane than believe He Zhiyao wouldn't plan to divorce her.

She was nothing more than a shield for He Zhiyao to avoid a marriage alliance; how could he possibly keep her as a shield once he obtained what he wanted?
