Ela, even if Ben was not a Vk, even if there was nothing for Jodha to expose, Jalal would not have deserted Jodha. He would have taken some more time to terms with his boiling lava (feelings for Jodha). He would have created some excuses to make her come in front of him. If he had to desert her, he would have banished her from his life and kingdom, the day she spurned him to ground. If had really thought of not seeing her face ever again in his life, he would not have brought her back to her room which comes on his way like an highway Gas station, where one stops the vehicle to use it for one or the other reason (like filling gas, checking the air pressure or even to use the wash room. So here also, whether he has to go to DEK, DEA or even to visit Ruqu's chamber, he will have to cross her chamber and her Tulsi plant is directly in his way (even view point from his Hojra)
Ela till such time Jodha drank that contaminated sweet, he didn't believe in Jodha's theory of Ben being the VK but still he didn't expose Jodha's archery skill's to others and didn't tell anyone that it was Jodha who rained the arrows at his boat. Had he had the desire to abandon her, he would have done it without waiting for Jodha to prove herself as a dedicated wife / praja or something and he was not even aware that she might barge in and drink that.
