Ever since that day, she had been watching him even more closely. It seemed like she was about to be released from prison soon. She could not afford to be in trouble at this time, or else she would be in dire straits.

The day was dark and gloomy, just like Xu Muyun's current mood. The day had finally come. It had been ten years, and she had seen the light of day once again, but her heart was not happy at all. Ten years ago, she had been framed and sent to prison. Now, ten years later, she had finally received her notice of the commutation of her sentence. Just as she was happily preparing for her new life, a piece of news had sunk her heart to the bottom.

She silently liked the people who had come to visit her in prison for ten years. They told her that he was married and that his children were in primary school and that she was in prison and that he was married and had a son. What was the reason for her insistence for these ten years?

She didn't know where to go, didn't know where to go. After working hard for ten years, she was finally able to step out of that place. But now, she no longer had any desire to live.

Yang Ziye was already waiting outside the door, and beside him stood his wife, her former best friend Shen Chen, also the sister of the deceased from ten years ago. Xu Muyun smiled bitterly, he never thought that after so many years, they would actually stand together to welcome her out of jail.

That year, Shen Chen's brother Shen Li came to the Xu family to look for Yang Ziye, but Yang Ziye still hasn't returned home. Xu Muyun told him to wait downstairs while he went back to his room to read. Unexpectedly, while her adoptive parents were not around, Shen Li had wanted to go against Xu Muyun, who was in the middle of a blossoming season. At that time, the situation was extremely dangerous, and Shen Li had already torn her clothes, but Xu Muyun couldn't get rid of him no matter what.

At this moment, Yang Ziye came back from the outside. Seeing this scene, he directly picked up the porcelain vase and hit the back of his head. Shen Li's eyes were wide open as he fell to the ground, bleeding profusely.

The two of them panicked. They didn't know what to do. After the Yang family's parents came back, they made a decision to change Xu Muyun's life. They said that Yang Ziye was the pillar of the family, and that they would have to support the family business in the future. Without him, the two elders would not be able to live on. He couldn't go to jail, so they wanted Xu Muyun to take the blame. And for the man he loved, as well as to repay the many years he had spent with his parents, Xu Muyun agreed.

The day before she was handcuffed, she had just turned eighteen, she was an adult, she was a full-fledged adult, she had to pay a heavy price for her actions, and finally the court sentenced her to sixteen years.

After officially going to prison, her adoptive parents had come to visit her and let her reform herself. She was still young, so Yang Ziye would definitely wait for her.

She was working very hard inside, enduring the bullying from her roommates in order to get out of jail as soon as possible. There was no mirror inside, no makeup, she had forgotten her appearance from the age of eighteen onwards. Ten years later, when she was about to step out of the prison gate, the guard handed her a mirror, and she saw her reflection in it. There was no trace of blood on his sallow face, and there were even some wrinkles at the corners of his eyes.

Due to her severe malnutrition and the stress in her heart, Xu Muyun's body was no longer healthy. At twenty years of age, it was even worse than a forty year old woman's body. As long as there was wind or grass rustling, she would definitely suffer.

Seeing her walk out, Shen Chen immediately ran over to welcome her, grabbing her hands and said: "Yunyun, you're finally back. Great, about my brother, I'm really sorry, but he already paid the price, don't blame him anymore."

Xu Muyun pulled back her hand. "Sorry, don't you think this apology came too late?" It had been ten years since he last saw her, and he had never heard her apologize to him, so who was she putting on an act for now? Was her husband, Yang Ziye?

Shen Chen acted as if he didn't see her displeasure, continuing to hold her hand, "Yunyun, let's go home. Mom and Dad are still waiting for you at home!"

Xu Muyun once again pulled out her hand and casually chose a direction to leave. She didn't want to have any interaction with these people anymore. She only took a few steps when she felt a wave of dizziness and fainted.

When she woke up again, Xu Muyun found herself in an unfamiliar room. She was amazed by the fashionable decorations. Where was this? Was this the house where the two of them had married? No, she didn't want to stay here.

Rising from the bed, she looked down and saw that her clothes had also been changed. It was a lady's nightgown, of good quality, but she didn't like it at all. She searched the room for her clothes, but there was nothing to be found.

Yang Ziye's voice came from outside the door, "Stop looking, I threw it away. What bad luck. I threw away all the things from the past, and I also gave you new ones."

Xu Muyun looked back at him. When she had been in prison for him for ten years, why didn't he say it was bad luck? Now, he had started to despise her.

"Get me some clothes. I'm leaving." Right now, she didn't want to stay here for even a minute longer. Seeing him, she no longer had that infatuation from back then. Now, she only hated him, and only felt that the past ten years were not worth it.

"Xiao Yun, listen to me, back then..." Yang Ziye opened his mouth to explain.

Xu Muyun covered her ears, "I don't want to hear it, I don't want to hear it, and I don't want to see you again. I want to leave this place, I'll have to trouble you to find me a set of clothes."

"Where can you go? You've been inside for ten years, and the outside world has changed. If you leave here, you can live here peacefully no matter how you want to live. I bought this house for you. Stay here properly, I'll come visit you every day."

Seeing how determined she was to leave him, Yang Ziye's heart felt as if it was being cut by knives. Allowing her to spend ten years in prison was already his greatest guilt. He could no longer let her suffer outside.

"Yang Ziye, from today onwards, my life and death has nothing to do with you. You let me live in prison for ten winters alone, and at that time I thought that you had taken over the company and was busy, that you didn't have the time to come see me. Who knows, because you married another woman, you didn't dare to come see me. Now that I'm out, you don't have to feel guilty about it. Just treat it as me spending ten years of my youth and ignorance to buy a lesson.

The last sliver of Xu Muyun's love for him was already gone when she found out about the news. Right now, she just wanted to escape from this place with him. His existence was a nightmare for her.

Without clothes, she had to leave this place even if she were to leave this way. Xu Muyun pushed him away from the door, looking for a place to enter. Yang Ziye pulled her back, "Whether you hate me or hate me, you can't leave here. If you leave me, you won't be able to live a day. See which company will hire you."

What he said made Xu Muyun somewhat calm down. What he said might make sense, but before she came out, she had already thought of a woman without any education or work experience who had been in prison for ten years. Which company would want her? But she did not want to bow her head to him. She did not want to live in his shadow.
