Su Ruojin slapped Xiao Yanchu on the head. "Die for you my foot! I'm not going to die for you. If you're gone, I'll take all the money from the Prince Regent's mansion and hire dozens of male concubines. Wouldn't that be great?"

Xiao Yanchu's lips twitched, then he looked at Su Ruojin with a resentful gaze, "Dozens of male concubines? Ruojin, do you think your husband is weak?"

Su Ruojin: ......

Before Su Ruojin drifted off to sleep again, swayed by the shadows of the trees outside the window, she regretted it. Why did she have to bring up dozens of male concubines?!

So much trouble did she forget that she wanted to tell Xiao Yanchu about General Wu.

The next day, Yanluo told Su Ruojin that the Wu siblings had taken Madam Wu back to the General's Mansion.

Although General Wu is no longer here, the Empress Dowager, considering his past achievements, did not reclaim the General's Mansion.

Not long after the Wu siblings returned to the General's Mansion, the Tao family came knocking on their door.

The visitor was none other than Tao Yangshi, the wife of the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice and the mother-in-law of Wu Ziyun.

“Ziyun, now that things have come to this, it is impossible for our Wu and Tao families to become in-laws again. Considering our past relationship, Yu’er is willing to give you a divorce agreement to preserve your reputation. Consider it a favor from our Tao family to you.”

After speaking, the nanny beside Tao Yangshi took out a divorce agreement and placed it in front of Wu Ziyun.

"Ziyun, once you sign this divorce agreement, you will have no further connection with the Tao family."

Wu Yichen's eyes reddened. It was clearly Tao Zhengyu who had wronged his sister. His father was furious and came to demand an explanation. The Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice spoke rudely, which is why his father took action.

Father had only pushed the Vice Minister of Justice, but who would have thought that he couldn't withstand the push and his head hit the corner of the table, and that's how he died.

Now that Father's body is barely cold, they've come knocking on our door to force my sister to sign a divorce agreement!

Wu Yichen retorted directly, "It's clearly your Tao family who wronged my sister, yet you still have the nerve to come here and put on airs. Get out of the General's Mansion!"

Tao Yangshi was embarrassed by being scolded by a junior. "Is this the kind of upbringing you have in your General's Mansion? How dare a junior speak so disrespectfully to an elder? If the younger brother is like this, then the older sister is no better. No wonder Yu'er has someone else in his heart. Wu Ziyun, you are not good enough for my Yu'er!"

"You old hag!" Wu Yichen was about to rush up and hit her, but Wu Ziyun stopped him.

"Chen'er!"

If Chen'er really hit Tao Yangshi, it would ruin Chen'er's reputation if word got out that a junior had hit an elder.

Wu Ziyun may not care about her own reputation, but her younger brother is still young, and with their father gone, the entire General's Mansion will depend on her brother from now on.

As for her...

Wu Ziyun gently stroked her lower abdomen without making a sound.

It's fine to raise the child alone in the future.

As for Tao Zhengyu, Wu Ziyun had already given up on him long ago when she found out he was keeping a mistress.

The man who knelt before her father and promised to marry only her in this life was nothing but a despicable scoundrel who sought fame and fortune and would stop at nothing to advance his career.

That's enough. Why should I cling to someone like that? It's good enough that we can get a divorce.

"I'll sign."

Wu Ziyun took the divorce papers, bit her finger, and pressed her fingerprint on them.

When Tao Yangshi saw Wu Ziyun sign the divorce papers, a hint of smugness flashed in her eyes.

With General Wu dead, Wu Ziyun has lost her backing. How can such a woman occupy the position of his son's legal wife? She should be sent away as soon as possible so that she can find a good marriage for her son and help him rise to prominence.

With her husband gone, her son became her only support, and Tao Yangshi would not allow anyone to affect her son's future.

"You're smart to know what's good for you! And don't even think about getting your dowry back. Your father killed my master, and we haven't even settled accounts with your General's Mansion yet. Consider your dowry as compensation. Granny Wang, let's go!"

Tao Yangshi put away the divorce papers and left arrogantly with Granny Wang.
