China wife discovers husband’s 16-year affair when mistress shows up at father-in-law’s funeral
Secret lover behaves like ‘member of family’ at graveside, sparking suspicions of wife; case goes to court, husband jailed for bigamy
A woman in eastern China exposed her husband’s 16-year affair after she spotted his mistress dressed in mourning clothes at his father’s funeral, as if she were family.
According to Henan Television, the woman surnamed Shang from Shandong province had been married to her husband, Wang, for 19 years. It is not known if they have children.
In June 2022, after her father-in-law died, Shang noticed an unfamiliar woman among the mourners at the funeral.
The woman, identified as Wen, was in mourning attire and introduced herself as the “daughter-in-law”, weeping beside Shang’s father-in-law’s coffin as though she were family.
When Shang confronted her husband about Wen, his evasive answers only deepened her suspicions.
