Chapter 22: Divorce? No, I mean divorce.

Old Lady Li is the one who has the final say in the family. Zhao and Sun are completely obedient to her. Although Gu Yuru is not afraid of her, she is the daughter of the Duke's Mansion after all and she has to maintain her reputation. Of course, the two of them usually keep to themselves.

Gu Yuru was also very filial to Mrs. Li and fulfilled her duties as a daughter-in-law.

This made Old Lady Li even more arrogant. Even the daughters-in-law of the Duke's Mansion had to be respectful to her, let alone Lin Siyan, who came from a humble background?

Before, the old lady Li liked her very much. After all, Gu Yuru was not a person who was easy to deal with. The Gu family was from a high-class family and always suppressed her son in everything, which made the old lady feel uncomfortable, so she liked a daughter-in-law who was as gentle as water.

But now it’s different, everyone is hungry.

You can starve anyone but not yourself!

"What's wrong with her belly? How can we know whether it's a boy or a girl before the baby is born? Besides, the journey is hard, and it's uncertain whether the baby will survive after being born. Why waste things?" said Mrs. Li.

Lin Siyan naturally wouldn't confront Mrs. Li head-on. They had had an unpleasant argument over food before, but there was no reason to give up the meat that was already in her mouth.

Who isn’t hungry?

Who doesn’t want to eat one more bite?

There is no overnight hatred between mother and son, not to mention that she was pregnant for Li Yuan. She deliberately said in a coquettish tone: "Brother Yuan, why don't you give it to the old lady?"

After saying that, she actually held her head and looked like she was about to faint.

Li Yuan looked at the gentle and lovely woman beside him, then looked at his ferocious mother, and started scolding her with full confidence, showing his superiority.

"Mother, don't give the monk face, give the Buddha face. Don't you consider the child in her belly? He is..."

What is it?

Li Mumu was getting anxious, but her scumbag father was not stupid. He didn't say anything when the words were on the tip of his tongue.

"Grandma, the meat is so delicious, Mumu couldn't bear to eat it."

When Mrs. Li heard this, she naturally smelled the fragrance. She could smell it from such a long distance away. "Third brother, let me tell you, even if she is pregnant with my grandson, so what? I don't only have that one grandson."

When these words were spoken, everyone was shocked.

Li Yuan's face turned pale instantly, "Mom, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Li Mumu was afraid that no one had heard, so she shouted loudly: "The baby in Aunt Lin's belly is Grandma's grandson!"

"The baby in Aunt Lin's belly is Grandma's grandson."

In fact, there was no need to shout, Gu Yuru had already heard it. After all, the shed was so small and there were no partitions. It was a bit crowded with both families together.

"Yuru, will you listen to my explanation?" Li Yuan looked at Gu Yuru, whose face had lost all color.

Gu Yuru's body swayed and she was supported by her son beside her. Then she sneered.

What about being together for life? That’s all bullshit.

What you said about the loving couple is bullshit.

Madam Gu put down the white flour cake, walked over to her daughter, and patted her hand. "Li Yuan, do you remember what you told us when you first proposed to Yu Ru?"

Back then, Li Yuan vowed solemnly that he would never take a concubine, otherwise the old couple of the Gu family would never give in.

After all, I only have this one daughter, and I treat her like a treasure.

"Mom, things are not as you think."

Lin Siyan had previously had a quarrel with Li Yuan because she was afraid to show the baby in her belly to the public and was always disliked by the Li family. Li Yuan just said that the time was not right yet.

Seeing this situation, she knew that the time was ripe.

Without waiting for Li Yuan to speak, she knelt down with a plop, moved in front of Gu Yuru, and wanted to grab her skirt, but Gu Yuru dodged her in disgust.

"Siyan, get up."

"No, Madam Gu, sister, all the mistakes are my fault. Please don't blame Brother Yuan. I originally wanted to raise the child alone after it was born. I would never ruin your relationship."

No one would believe this, but Li Yuan believed it.

"No, how can my child be left outside?" Li Yuan said in a deep voice. Because Lin Siyan retreated to advance, he had no way out.

"Yu Ru, Si Yan is a good woman. She took care of me in the barracks all these years. You don't know, if it weren't for her, I would have almost died. Now that I'm in this state, I naturally can't abandon her. Don't worry, she will never threaten your position as wife."

Li Yuan looked at the Gu family members. Those pairs of eyes staring at him fiercely made him feel apprehensive. "From now on, you will be the wife and she will be the concubine."

When these words were spoken, everyone was shocked.

Naturally, this also includes Lin Siyan.

Because Li Yuan told her that he would be her equal wife.

Li Mumu was also stunned, because what the scumbag father said did not match the plot.

But after thinking about it carefully, she understood.

Although the Gu family is doomed, the current situation is different from before. The Gu family has food to eat and money in their hands. The reason why Li Yuan said this is probably because he still wants to gain some benefits.

This person has always been like this. Before, he did it for power, and now he does it for stuttering.

"No need." Gu Yuru looked at the two of them coldly, their affectionate relationship as if she were a malicious person trying to separate lovers. "Li Yuan, since you have violated your vows, our marriage is over now."

If he was indifferent to several children because of the child of his savior, she would still respect him for being grateful.

But she couldn't tolerate the harsh treatment of her own child for the sake of her other child.

Besides, she saw clearly what happened in the past two days.

Li Yuan's heart is no longer with her.

Li Yuan frowned, glared at Gu Yuru with hatred, and said in a self-righteous and domineering manner: "I will not divorce my wife."

Li Mumu laughed secretly, "Mom doesn't want Dad anymore?"

"That's right." Gu Yuru straightened her back. Even in her prison uniform, she could still see the dignity of a former Duke's daughter. "Li Yuan, it's not you who wants to divorce me, it's me who wants a divorce."

"Divorce? Don't even think about it." Li Yuan refused.

Lin Siyan also wondered, did Li Yuan lie to her before, or did he change his mind?

No, she absolutely couldn't let this happen.

"Sister, don't be angry. It's all my fault. I'm leaving, or I'll hit my head against the wall and die. I just want you to calm down and live a good life with Brother Yuan."

As she spoke, Lin Siyan was about to crash into the wall. Gu Yuan quickly tried to stop her, and Li Mumu took out a large stone from the space.

The scumbag dad couldn't dodge in time and fell hard.

Lin Siyan thought someone would stop her, but because Li Yuan was partial to her and gave all the food to her, the Li family remained indifferent.

They probably thought that it was better to die, as one death meant one less person to snatch food from.

"Aunt Lin, are you still hitting the wall? The wall is right there." Li Mumu pointed at the wall and said in confusion.

After all, she is a fool. No one will blame her for saying this at this time.

Lin Siyan gritted her teeth, thinking of setting up a show and setting a trap, and was ready to fight.

Just at this moment, Li Yuan spoke despite the pain.
