Then came Li Huai'an's anxious shouts: "Mother, are you inside? I heard Father shouting and making a scene inside. Has something happened?"
A glimmer of hope rose in Bai Wei's heart.
She struggled to break free from Li Zan's grasp and shouted, "An'er, I'm inside! Come and save me!"
Upon hearing his mother's cries, Li Huai'an immediately increased the force of his knocking on the door.
"Someone, break down the door!"
At this moment, forgetting his status as the crown prince, all he wanted was for his mother, who gave birth to him and raised him, to be safe and sound!
He cried out anxiously, "Father, open the door! Mother is inside! You can't do this to her!"
Li Zan was awakened by Li Huai'an's shouts. Realizing his lapse in composure, he quickly let go of Li Huai'an's hand. He turned to open the door, but Li Huai'an had already pushed it open from the outside.
Li Huai'an rushed in, hugged Bai Wei tightly, and asked anxiously, "Mother, are you alright?"
Bai Wei shook her head, tears streaming down her face again. She looked at Li Huai'an, her heart filled with gratitude.
She knew she couldn't go on like this any longer.
She had to leave this home, leave this man who was causing her so much heartache.
She took a deep breath, calmed herself, and then said to Li Huai'an, "An'er, you've grown up, and your mother is very pleased. From today onwards, I'm leaving this home and leaving your father. You must take good care of yourself, okay?"
Li Huai'an was stunned when he heard his mother's words. He hadn't expected his mother to make such a decision.
But looking into his mother's resolute eyes, he knew she had made up her mind. He nodded, tears welling in his eyes: "Mother, I support you. Whatever decision you make, I will stand by you."
Bai Wei looked at Zhao Yun with gratitude, her heart filled with warmth.
She knew she wasn't alone. She still had her son, and she still had hope.
She stood up, walked up to Li Zan, and said coldly, "Li Zan, from today onwards, we are no longer husband and wife. I will leave this home, and I will leave you. You'd better take care of yourself!"
After saying that, she turned and left without looking back.
Stepping out of the Duke's mansion, Bai Wei let out a long sigh of relief.
She knew that she had finally taken the first step and left the home that had caused her so much heartache.
Outside the Duke's mansion, Bai Wei's new life will begin.
