To say that Li Meili was surprised was an understatement. The words that just came out from the empress had shocked Li Meili down to the core. It made sense to her now why her best friend had a sudden change of heart towards her husband. It turned out that Zhang Jiren was Tang Moyu's twin brother, the one who everyone thought had died along with their birth mother.
"Moyu, I—" Li Meili found herself lost in words, not knowing how to respond to her best friend's revelation. Her mind was having a hard time to accept it all. But what caught her attention was the last one Tang Moyu had mentioned.
"What do you mean he's sick and could be dying?" she asked the empress. "Moyu, what's going on?"
It didn't matter if she and Zhang Jiren were in a contractual marriage, because at the end of the day, she was still his wife and he was her husband. She had every right to know what was going on with Zhang Jiren.
