"Afeng, your father suffered from a cold and was bedridden for years. His death was just an accident..."

Si Tianyu tried to defend herself, but it only earned her an even colder look from Si Chengfeng.

"Tell me, why did you come here to find me?" Although he already had a rough guess in his mind, Si Chengfeng still asked directly.

"Afeng, you are being too formal, aren't you? We are mother and son! Can't it be that mom missed you and came to see you specially?" Si Tianyu tried hard to look kinder and act like a loving mother and a filial son.

"Mother and son?"

"hehe……"

Si Chengfeng couldn't help but sneer when he heard this.

"Master Si, didn't you already announce to the public that you only have one son, Si Lingyun? Now, what kind of son is this?"

Si Chengfeng's eyes were sharp as he glanced at Si Tianyu leisurely. A sarcastic smile appeared at the corner of his lips, waiting for the other party to justify himself.

Si Tianyu: ...

(This brat! He was so quiet when he was little, but he's become so talkative when he grows up!)

"Afeng, didn't I know you were still alive? At that time, I thought you had died at the hands of bandits..." Si Tianyu said while using his sleeve to suppress the non-existent tears in the corners of his eyes.

"If you've come here specifically to talk nonsense with me, I'm sorry, but I have important matters to attend to and I'm afraid I don't have time to chat with you."

As Si Chengfeng was speaking, he was about to lower the carriage curtains. Seeing this, Si Tianyu suddenly became anxious.

"Afeng!"

"Mother knows I owe you and your father a lot. Now I know I was wrong. I should never have been so focused on business that I neglected you and your father."

"What...what do you want me to do in order to forgive me?" Si Tianyu pounded his chest lightly, looking remorseful and annoyed.

"forgive?"

Si Chengfeng narrowed his eyes slightly and glanced at Si Tianyu standing at the door of the carriage. Recalling the sadness and loneliness before his father Meng Lishi's death, he would consider it a relief if he didn't cut the couple into pieces. How could he possibly forgive them?

"Yes! Afeng, as long as you can forgive me, I am willing to do anything for you!" Si Tianyu said confidently.

"really?"

A hint of cunning suddenly flashed in Si Chengfeng's charming eyes.

"Of course. Ah Feng, you are my eldest son, so naturally I love you!" Si Chengfeng was Si Tianyu's only hope now. When she heard that there was a way, she immediately agreed without hesitation.

"Then you should..."

Si Chengfeng got off the carriage and walked in front of Si Tianyu, staring at her. He opened his thin lips slightly, and spoke slowly, pausing each word: "Divorce Nangong Chen!"

"Divorced your stepfather?"

Si Tianyu looked hesitant.

Although Nangong Chen wasn't as valuable as Meng Lishi in terms of marriage alliance value, he was her childhood sweetheart and they had a deep bond. Even if Si Tianyu regretted favoring her and killing her husband, she would only regret that Meng Lishi's life would have brought her greater value...

"hehe……"

"You can't do that, right?"

Si Chengfeng looked at Si Tianyu meaningfully, then stepped on the step stool and got on the carriage again.

"Feng Wu, let's go!"

"Yes, Si Liangce."

However, just as Feng Wu was about to lower the carriage curtain, he was suddenly stopped by Si Tianyu.

“Wait!”

Si Tianyu approached the carriage and asked seriously, "Ah Feng, if I divorce your stepmother... divorce Nangong Chen, will you forgive me?"

"Anyway, either he or I, or I or him..."

Si Chengfeng's eyes were charming and smiling. He just stared at Si Tianyu blankly, but for some reason, he made her feel a little guilty.

Si Tianyu's previous plan was to write a fake divorce letter to fool Si Chengfeng, but now it seems that her eldest son might not be so easy to fool...

Well, at worst, I could just coax Nangong Chen into a fake divorce, and then after we get through this difficult time, I could restore our relationship as husband and wife...

After making up his mind, Si Tianyu nodded to Si Chengfeng in the carriage.

"Feng Wu, let's go!"

"Yes, Si Liangce."

After putting away the step stool, Feng Wu started the carriage and continued to move towards the general's mansion.

Si Tianyu stood there, looking at the gradually receding carriage, until it turned into a black dot and disappeared, then she used her lightness skills to rush towards the Si Mansion in the south of the city.

At the same time, in the south city mansion, in the main house in the backyard.

Thinking that the Si Mansion had been sealed by the guards of the Dali Temple, Nangong Chen's gloomy and dark face suddenly became even darker.

As the illegitimate son of the Nangong family, Nangong Chen had a lot of trouble getting married to Si Tianyu. He was even willing to follow Si Tianyu for six years without any status. It was not until Lingyun was five years old that Si Tianyu finally married him as a commoner.

Moreover, Meng Lishi died as soon as he entered the mansion, which was quite timely. In the second month after Meng Lishi's death, Nangong Chen was able to move from being a common husband to a legal husband, and his son Si Lingyun also became the legitimate son of the Si family.

Over the past twelve years, Nangong Chen has replaced Meng Lishi as the head of the Si family. Everything has gone smoothly for him. Even Meng Lishi's son was later expelled from the Si family. The Si family's backyard has completely fallen into his control.

Nangong Chen's well-maintained face turned terribly gloomy when he thought that everything he had worked hard to earn over the years might soon be reduced to zero again.

Just when Nangong Chen was feeling sad in his room, suddenly an elegant green figure leaped into the main courtyard of the Si family like a ghost and sneaked into Nangong Chen's room.

"Chenchen, what's wrong? Is it because I haven't visited you for a while and you missed me so much that your face looks haggard?" Yu Lianhuan lightly lifted Nangong Chen's chin with a wicked smile.

"Huanhuan?"

"Why are you here?"

Nangong Chen, who was sitting at the dressing table in a daze, was slightly surprised at the tall and dashing figure reflected in the shiny bronze mirror.

"Of course I missed you, so I came here to see you." Yu Lianhuan leaned over and hugged Nangong Chen's neck from behind, kissed his cheek, and her hands wandered restlessly on his body.

"Huanhuan, I'm not in the mood..."

Nangong Chen gently pushed Yu Lianhuan away, and looked at her with a pair of bright eyes full of loneliness.

"Isn't it just that the Dali Temple wants to arrest Si Tianyu for interrogation? What's the big deal? If she dies, you can just inherit the Si family's property under the name of Si Lingyun." Yu Lianhuan said indifferently.

"Huanhuan, the case of hiding children in Xiangyang Temple has alarmed the emperor. I'm afraid that I will also be implicated by Si Tianyu..." Nangong Chen looked worried with a leisurely gaze.

"Chenchen, don't be afraid! If it's really as you say, at worst I can take you far away and hide you in a safe place where no one can find you..."

As Yu Lianhuan spoke, she had already picked up Nangong Chen, who was sitting in front of the dressing table, and walked towards the big bed in the room...
