Suddenly, the old lady's body trembled, and she fell to the ground.

"Mother, what's wrong?" The Marquis of Zhenbei was already weak, and when he saw her fall, he trembled with fear.

When everyone saw her fall, they quickly moved away.

With a thud.

The old lady hit her chin on the ground and lost several teeth.

"Waaaaah..."

"Tang (Tian) what (kill) whatever, let (who) push me (me)."

The old lady spoke unclearly, which annoyed everyone present.

Ye Lanyin stared at them blankly.

He slowly said, "Lin Dehong, let's get a divorce."

This was the first time the Marquis of Zhenbei had ever heard her speak to him so coldly; even during their last argument, she had never been this indifferent.

He stood up despite the pain. When did their relationship become so estranged?

Where did Ye Lanyin, who was always thinking of him, go?

Even though he had never touched her in sixteen years, her love for him never diminished.

Why did everything change after Lin Wanwan was born?

"Lanyin, I will not get a divorce."

I will never let you go in my entire life.

"Even if you die, you will still be a daughter-in-law of the Lin family."

Upon hearing this, Ye Lanyin let out a mocking laugh.

"You won't let go? That's not up to you."

“You should have known from the moment you started keeping a mistress that this day would come.”

"I, Ye Lanyin, have been married into the Marquis's mansion for fourteen years. I have lived up to the expectations of my ancestors and the expectations of my children. I have never wronged anyone in the slightest. On the contrary, if it weren't for me managing the Marquis's mansion all these years, would the mansion be as prosperous as it is today?"

"You benefit from my achievements, enjoy the power of my family, and curry favor with high-ranking officials everywhere. Don't think I don't know."

The old lady got up again and said in her indistinct words:

"Ye Lanyin, you've already hit my son, cursed him, and your Ye family has thrown a tantrum. What more do you want?"

"Divorce? Then you'll have to step over my body first, unless I'm dead!"

Marquis Zhenbei closed his eyes, gritted his teeth, and knelt down on both knees.

"Madam, we've been through thick and thin together for decades. For the sake of the children, please stay."

"Don't worry, she's just a concubine, she'll never overstep her bounds."

"From now on, whatever you say goes, and I'll do whatever you say."

The old lady gasped as she watched her son kneel before so many people.

That was her proud son, and he actually knelt down to a woman!

"Ye Lanyin, just one question: do you agree to these conditions?"

Ye Lanyin's expression darkened.

"I disagree!"

"You...you ungrateful wretch!" The old lady was so angry that she almost fainted.

Luckily there was some tea nearby, and she took a big gulp.

Ye Lanyin gritted her teeth and said, "Lin Dehong, you trampled on our more than ten years of relationship, humiliated me with a mistress, and now you want to bring her into the mansion as a concubine?"

"She has neither borne children for the household nor is she a virgin, so why should she?"

"Do you think she can please you just by taking off her clothes and spreading her legs?"

"Hmph, such a rotten slut is even worthy of being a lowly concubine!"

This was the first time anyone present had ever heard Ye Lanyin curse like this.

They were all shocked by her, yet they gave her a thumbs up.

He couldn't help but feel secretly delighted.

"Lanyin, we're both women, do you have to be so barbed with your words?"

"Hmph, Mother, you know we're all women too? She and my husband were having an affair, doing things that are promiscuous. As the first wife, I'm already being magnanimous by not punishing her!"

Ye Zhennan angrily retorted, "That's right! If it weren't for the fact that you're my elder, I would have beaten you to death long ago!"

"What a worthless son he gave birth to!"

As he spoke, he raised his fist, which startled the old lady, causing her to shrink back.

Marquis Zhenbei lowered his head, enduring their insults.

He cannot divorce, Shixuan still needs to take the imperial examinations, and he needs a mother of high status.

Otherwise, even if you pass the exam, you will be looked down upon.

Shiming's path to becoming a general still requires Shixuan to build connections and introduce him to others.

The General's Mansion is no longer reliable.

Shixuan is now the hope of the entire Marquis's mansion.

He couldn't let his two children's bright future be ruined.

"Lanyin, if you do not agree to let her into the manor, I will sever ties with her immediately."

"What were you doing back then, Lord Marquis? If you had known things would turn out this way, wouldn't everything have been fine if you hadn't started it in the first place?"

“It’s my fault, I deserve to die, I have committed many sins. Lan Yin, the child can’t be without a father. If you divorce me, what will happen to the child?” He raised his head and looked at Ye Lan Yin, who was filled with grief and indignation.

If it weren't for the child, Ye Lanyin would have wanted to get a divorce right away.

But when she thought of her child, her gaze darkened.

Yes, the child is still his father in name only. Even if they divorce, he will still cling to the child and her.

She took a deep breath.

"We don't have to divorce!"

These words angered Madam Sheng so much that she tried to get up again, but Han Nianyu held her back tightly.

"Don't rush, wait for Lanyin to finish speaking."

Upon hearing this, the Marquis of Zhenbei was overjoyed, "Really?"

He said that she still loved him.

After all these years, how could she change her mind so easily?

"Don't be too happy yet."

"I agree that you want her to come into the household, but she can never be a concubine."

The Marquis of Zhenbei smiled, looking completely unconcerned. "It's alright, it's alright. A concubine is fine too. I'll do whatever you say."

"She is a lowly concubine!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the smile on the Marquis of Zhenbei's face froze.
