Wen Qiheng sat down at the table unhurriedly, gave Jun Xiaoqiao a reassuring look, and then solemnly uttered the excuse he had already prepared.

Then he looked back at Jun Xiaoqiao with bright eyes, waiting for her next insightful opinion.

“You… fine, let’s get a divorce, just as I wished. But I can’t give Yu’er to you. He came from my womb, so he’s mine. Your Wen family can’t take him away.”

Upon hearing that Wen Qiheng wanted to write a divorce agreement, Jun Xiaoqiao's breathing became erratic for a moment, but she gritted her teeth and forced herself to remain calm, fighting for her rights.

She could give up her man, but she absolutely had to have her son; he was her precious darling, how could she bear to part with him?

"It's true that he came from your belly. Our Wen family acknowledges that you are his mother, and that doesn't conflict with anything. If you miss him in the future, you can come to the Prime Minister's residence to see him. Taking him away is absolutely impossible. Xiao Qiao, you knew from the time you were pregnant how much your parents loved this child. If you take him away, they will be heartbroken."

“They can’t take any more turmoil. After my second brother died, they placed all their hopes on Yu’er. How can you bear to treat them like this?”

"After you married into the Wen family, how did your mother and father treat you? You must have felt it yourself, right? How can you bear to hurt them?"

Wen Qiheng stood up and looked at Jun Xiaoqiao with his sharp and cold eyes. He did not condemn her, but every word he said was like a knife to her heart.

“I… if I keep him, what if he gets bullied by your new wife? How can a stepmother compare to a biological mother? How can my child suffer like this?”

Jun Xiaoqiao felt a little uneasy when she thought of her wonderful mother-in-law. Yes, she treated her so well and would occasionally teach her how to conduct herself in society. Her father-in-law's family also intentionally or unintentionally favored her.

Taking the children away will break their hearts.

But what can be done? Should other women stay and share the husband?

She couldn't do it. Even though she had never done it before, all the women he dated in the past loved passionately and hated passionately.

But no third party ever got involved.

"Then please don't leave, okay? Yu'er needs a complete family. You said yourself that only you, his mother, will love him wholeheartedly. There are no major conflicts between us. You used to like me very much, even lying to stay by my side. Why don't you like me now?"

"If it was because of the teasing during our wedding, then I apologize to you and promise it will never happen again. How about we open our hearts to each other like the Emperor and Empress and live a peaceful and stable life together?"

Wen Qiheng knew it was time for him to soften his tone; whether he could win over the woman in front of him depended on this moment.

"I…!"

Jun Xiaoqiao was conflicted and embarrassed, and was about to say something when the wet nurse carried the young master into their room.

And he shouted:

"Master and Madam, the young master wanted to see you, and I couldn't stop him, so I had to bring him here. He also said he wanted to see his mother, so please hug him and comfort him."

"Give him a hug. Look at his soft and adorable appearance, he's so lovable. If someone treats him badly in the future, wouldn't you be heartbroken?"

Wen Qiheng took the child from his arms, glanced at him with a smile, and then placed the child in Jun Xiaoqiao's arms.

Seeing the child's pleading expression, Jun Xiaoqiao's heart melted completely. So she took him and kissed her son.

"Look how cute he is! If he loses his mother or father in the future, won't he be very pitiful? Shouldn't we think about him?"

When Wen Qiheng saw Jun Xiaoqiao holding her son with a gentle smile, he couldn't help but add fuel to the fire.

Their relationship had been strained for a long time. This woman was indeed close to the Empress, as they often shared the same ideas.

He was the one who suffered the loss, she was the one who provoked him first, yet he still had to scheme to keep her with him.

I feel so unwilling to accept it, but what can I do?

Who told me to care without even realizing it?

"If I stay, what about the women you brought back yesterday? The Empress and I are from the same place, where we practice monogamy, and it is absolutely impossible for us to accept you taking concubines."

Jun Xiaoqiao had actually already taken a liking to this person, but she was just being stubborn, and she absolutely could not tolerate a man having concubines.

Although she had been in many relationships before, they always broke up when they didn't like each other, without involving a third party.

"That's easy. Since they're concubines, they're no different from servants in our household. Just match them up with any family and they'll get married. I was wondering why you, who are usually so smart, always get so stubborn at crucial moments?"

"Don't worry, as long as you promise me, I will definitely handle this matter properly."

Wen Qiheng had actually already devised a plan when he asked for those women yesterday. Those women were just tools in his scheme, and he didn't take them seriously.

I just didn't expect Jun Xiaoqiao to care so much?

Is he jealous?

It's good that you're jealous.

Otherwise, a woman who's stubborn as a mule will keep arguing with him.

"That…"

Jun Xiaoqiao hesitated for a moment, but seeing the child in her arms, she couldn't help but tear off the front of her clothes to find food.

In the blink of an eye, Jun Xiaoqiao's fragrant shoulders were exposed, and her clothes were half-open.

She nodded shyly, then glared at Wen Qiheng.

Seeing that he had achieved his goal, Wen Qiheng smiled and deliberately glanced at Jun Xiaoqiao's half-open collar before leaving.

"Is this the end of the show?"

Cen Xi sat on the roof beam of the Prime Minister's residence and sighed.

"That was Prime Minister Wen's original intention, and now that he has achieved it, the matter is naturally over. Your Majesty, shall we return to the palace?"

Seeing that Cen Xi still seemed to want more, Qingyi chimed in with a comment.

"I originally thought that Jun Xiaoqiao would only give in after the divorce papers were finished, but a child easily coaxed her. I'm afraid Wen Fox had already guessed that Jun Xiaoqiao didn't actually want to leave."

Cen Xi wore a helpless expression, as if she hadn't seen enough of the performance. However, since the other party had already finished singing, she could only leave the stage dejectedly.

"Well, not bad. Prime Minister Wen, you're a cunning old fox. Otherwise, the Emperor wouldn't have appointed him as Prime Minister after his ascension to the throne. And everyone can see that the Prime Minister's wife has also fallen for him. The Empress should be happy that they can live together in harmony. Otherwise, every time she comes to Kunde Palace, her roars and complaints are so loud that they hurt people's eardrums."

The woman in red glanced at the woman breastfeeding below, raised her eyes slightly, and made a serious comment, even adding a hint of disdain afterward.

"You woman, you really are a disciple of Yan Niang. You never know how to keep your mouth shut. Let's go. Since there's nothing else to see, let's go for a stroll in the streets and return to the palace in the evening."

Cen Xi chuckled, then stood up and walked away with a flourish.
