My husband fell in love with a transmigrated woman who loudly championed free love, and brought her into our home as our daughter's tutor so they could secretly carry on together.
She deliberately taught our daughter all the wrong things.
"A life without love is incomplete. Arranged marriage is an insult to a free spirit! Be brave and go after love!"
Our daughter didn't take her words to heart, but my father-in-law, who was over fifty, did.
He fled eight hundred li overnight with his first love.
I hurriedly begged my husband to send every servant and guard in the house out to search for them.
Seeing me frantic with worry, the transmigrated woman looked smug.
"I only guided him toward the right thing to do. He'll thank me one day."
I turned and slapped her across the face, barely stopping myself from telling her this was the Grand Princess's residence.
My father-in-law was a live-in son-in-law whom the Grand Princess, my mother-in-law, had taken back by force and made love her. The last person who urged him to run away had weeds three feet high growing over the graves of their entire clan.
