Her meaning was clear: if Yunzhi was unwilling to give up the position of Lady of the Marquis, how could An Xiuyuan marry her?

“Zhen’er, believe me, I will handle this.” An Xiuyuan immediately assured him, and in order to keep Wang Yuzhen, he added, “Yunzhi, no matter what you say, I will definitely marry A-Zhen.”

"Fine, since that's the case, let's get a divorce," Yunzhi said calmly. She had figured it out; the man before her was heartless. Rather than wasting her time on someone like that, she'd rather divorce him and find someone else.

Then, what kind of man wouldn't she be able to get? A cute puppy or a fierce wolf, wouldn't she be able to choose?

She's not from ancient times; she won't hang herself on one tree.

Since you are heartless, I will leave.

Upon hearing that Yunzhi actually wanted a divorce, the old lady immediately objected, saying, "No, you can't get a divorce."

"Why?" Yunzhi looked coldly at the old lady, her gaze icy. If she wasn't allowed to divorce, did she really intend to force her into a divorce?

This is different from divorce or separation. If she were to be divorced, not only would her family object, but she herself would also not agree to it. Because she hadn't done anything wrong, nor had she violated any of the seven grounds for divorce.

The one with the real problem is clearly An Xiuyuan. If he already has someone he loves, why did he even get married?

The old lady didn't look at Yunzhi, nor did she answer her question. Instead, she said unreasonably, "Why are there so many whys? I said no, and that means no."

"Since that's the case, then I don't care. Anyway, I'm the Lady Hou now, so I won't be the one who suffers injustice," Yunzhi said calmly, her gaze falling on Wang Yuzhen.

She figured it out; this person was a green tea b*tch. However, she had no interest in arguing with someone like that; it would be beneath her.

As expected, Wang Yuzhen's face turned very ugly after hearing Yunzhi's words. She looked up at An Xiuyuan, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

How could An Xiuyuan bear to see his beloved woman suffer? So he turned to the old lady and called out, "Mother?"

After glancing at her son and Wang Yuzhen, the old lady said directly to Yunzhi, "This is none of your business. Go back."

Yunzhi glanced at the group, smiled gently, and turned to leave.

In truth, she could more or less guess what the old lady was thinking; she was simply after her dowry.

Logically speaking, she was only the daughter of a fifth-rank official, so her dowry shouldn't have been much. But what could she do when her maternal family was the richest in Jiangnan?

Because she grew up with her maternal grandparents in Jiangnan, she was spoiled by them all, including her maternal grandparents, uncles and aunts, and cousins. You could say she got whatever she wanted.

Because of this pampering, her maternal grandparents gave her a very large dowry when she got married. To put it simply, even if she lay around all day doing nothing, she would never lack money, and she could probably spend it all in several lifetimes.

If she divorces An Xiuyuan, she will definitely take her dowry with her. In that case, wouldn't the Dingyuan Marquis's mansion have ended up with nothing?

It should be noted that the reason the Marquis's family initially took a liking to her was because of the wealth behind her.

It's no wonder the old lady would be reluctant to let go of the money she finally acquired. Putting aside everything else, since Yunzhi married into the household a little over a month ago, the level of food, clothing, and daily necessities in the Marquis's mansion has improved several notches.

As expected, Yunzhi's guess was entirely correct. After she left, the old lady couldn't wait to say to An Xiuyuan, "Son, are you stupid? How could you let Yunshi leave?"
