Xu Youran raised her eyes. "Of course I know what I'm talking about. What about you? Jiang Zhaorong, do you know what you're doing?!"
Jiang Zhaorong was stunned when he heard this.
"What did you say when you brought Song Shiwei back? You said that she was the posthumous child of your confidant who died saving you, and you wanted to repay your confidant for saving your life, so you wanted to adopt her as your adopted daughter." Xu Youran stood up, her eyes like sharp knives, staring straight at Jiang Zhaorong.
"Ever since Song Shiwei entered the mansion, you've brought her by your side and taught her with care. Even when I was already well-known in Shengjing, Kang An, you only asked about her daily routine, not to mention the others. You said you felt guilty, and I believed you."
Jiang Zhaorong avoided her gaze and said nothing.
Xu Youran continued, "No matter what good things you get, you always give them to Song Shiwei first. When the children quarrel or fight, it's always my children who get punished. Even when it's the autumn hunt, where you fight for your children's future, you always bring Song Shiwei with you!"
There was a hint of sob in her words. The anger on Jiang Zhaorong's face had dissipated, and he looked guilty no matter how you looked at him.
Xu Youran sighed softly, "Even for saving my life, I raised her all these years, provided her with food, clothing, shelter, and transportation, and never let her down in any way. This should be enough, right?"
Jiang Zhaorong stammered and couldn't utter a word.
Xu Youran changed the subject, "You've also found out that it was she who suggested going to Zuiyuelong. After the palace banquet, the princes, young masters and young ladies would all go to Zuiyuelong for a drink. Everyone in Shengjing knew about it. But she chose to suggest it then, and she even had that harmful powder on her. You couldn't have been unaware of her plan, right?"
Jiang Zhaorong clenched his fists. Xu Youran looked at him, emphasizing each word. "Since you knew this, why did you resolutely stand by your adopted daughter when she was trying to murder your biological children? Jiang Zhaorong, who exactly is Song Shiwei? Why would you protect her like this?!"
Her voice was so loud that it seemed as if a string in Jiang Zhaorong's head was plucked. He stretched out his hand and overturned the whole table with a "whoosh". The teapot and teacups on the table shattered to the ground. The sound was so loud that the maid outside the room couldn't help but be shocked when she heard it.
They were so caught up in their fear that no one noticed the figure that flashed past the door.
Jiang Zhaorong was panting heavily, obviously very angry: "Song Shiwei is just my adopted daughter, she has no other identity!"
Xu Youran wasn't afraid of him at all. A sneer appeared on her lips, and her tone was full of sarcasm: "Oh? Really?"
Jiang Zhaorong was terrified and said in a rough voice, "No matter what, as the mistress of the Prime Minister's Mansion, you should put the reputation of the Prime Minister's Mansion first! Go to the Dali Temple in person today and tell Shi An to release the man!"
"I can release him, but you have to agree to two conditions: one: kowtow and admit your fault, and two: a letter of divorce."
Jiang Zhaorong looked at her in surprise: "You want me to divorce you?"
His heart suddenly trembled.
Xu Youran frowned. "Divorce me? What qualifications do you have? It's me who's going to divorce you!"
Divorce would be too easy for Jiang Zhaorong. She wanted to ruin his reputation in Shengjing. When people mentioned him in the future, the first thing they would think of was not the prime minister, but the first husband in the entire Tianqi period who was divorced by his wife!
Perhaps because he felt that what she said was too outrageous, Jiang Zhaorong was stunned for a moment, then he laughed in anger and said, "What did you say?"
"I said, I'm going to divorce you!"
Xu Youran's eyes suddenly turned cold, and her cold words seemed to carry an endless murderous aura.
Jiang Zhaorong could see her seriousness, and his black pupils were like a quiet deep pool, terribly cold.
"wishful thinking!"
He said sternly.
"If you want to save Song Shiwei, both are indispensable. Oh, by the way, if you don't save her today, you won't have another chance in the future."
Xu Youran's voice was faint.
What did she mean by this? Jiang Zhaorong looked at her in surprise and doubt.
"I know Shi An doesn't want to offend anyone. Even if Song Shiwei is in prison, he wouldn't dare to act rashly. So I told Kang An to find the killer..."
Xu Youran didn't say anything else.
Jiang Zhaorong's face turned from red to blue, and his teeth chattered up and down.
Although he didn't know whether what Xu Youran said was true or false, he couldn't afford to deny it.
He made up his mind, looked at Xu Youran, and knelt down in front of her with a plop.
"I apologize to you on her behalf."
He banged his head on the ground, his eyes red with anger.
Xu Youran's aggressiveness had wiped out all the friendship in his heart!
"It won't work just with me, there are also Zhiyu and Kang An."
There seemed to be a loud noise in his ears, and Jiang Zhaorong suddenly raised his head, his eyes full of gloom and anger.
"Don't push your luck. No matter what I say, I'm still their father!"
Xu Youran chuckled softly, "You don't want to? Fine, I won't force you. Go to the ancestral hall now and get the family tree. Remove my children from the list. From now on, my family will have no connection with your Jiang family!"
"Have you been so determined from the beginning?"
Jiang Zhaorong finally came to his senses. From the moment he entered the room, every step he took was in accordance with Xu Youran's wishes. She had this idea in mind from the very beginning!
Jiang Zhaorong looked at the face in front of him and almost vomited.
How come I hadn't realized before that she was so cruel?!
"Yes, from the very beginning, I have made up my mind to completely break off all ties with your Jiang family!"
Xu Youran gritted her teeth. "I was foolish and misjudged you before. Even after you brought Mrs. Du into your family, you still refused to change your ways! Back then, when my father was framed and you stayed out of it, I should have divorced you! Instead of wallowing in self-pity and wasting all this time!"
When mentioning the Grand Tutor, Jiang Zhaorong's eyes showed a hint of guilt.
"If it weren't for my father's strong recommendation, how could you have sat on the position of Prime Minister? A little bit of kindness, a big bit of vengeance. Now that I think about it, you and Song Shiwei are really cut from the same cloth, both ungrateful and ungrateful!"
Jiang Zhaorong's chest was heaving violently, and he was obviously very angry.
He wanted to get up from the ground, but his arms seemed to have no strength left and everything in front of him seemed to be pitch black.
Jiang Zhaorong closed his eyes and slowed down.
When he opened his eyes again, a piece of paper was thrown in his face.
He picked it up tremblingly, and the huge words "divorce" stung his eyes.
The veins on his forehead seemed to be popping out. "Xu, please stop making trouble. Since ancient times, it has never been lawful for a woman to divorce her husband! I know you are angry and talking nonsense, so I won't bother with you. Just go to the Dali Temple first and get the man out. After that, I will let you beat him or punish him as you wish. Okay?"
"not good!"
Before Xu Youran could answer, the old lady spoke loudly.
