Chapter 32 Divorce
In the study, Duke Weiguo and Song Zhichen sat face to face.
Duke Weiguo's face turned pale. He did not expect the Zhou family to be so tough and even refused to agree to kill the mother and keep the son.
"What on earth do you think about this?"
Duke Weiguo hoped that Song Zhichen could do something to make Zhou Ying change her mind, but Song Zhichen just sat aside and remained silent.
After returning to the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion from the Zhou family, Song Zhichen was in a daze.
He didn't know how he suddenly came to this point.
She was fine before, and Aying...
When Duke Weiguo saw Song Zhichen's distraught look, he was immediately furious.
He was about to curse when someone came to report that Song Ye was outside the study asking to see him.
Duke Wei rubbed his temples and said, "Let the prince come in."
"I have met my grandfather and my father."
Song Ye walked in and bowed to Duke Weiguo and Song Zhichen.
Song Zhichen looked at Song Ye: "Ye'er, why are you here?"
Song Ye met Song Zhichen's eyes and said, "I hope my father can agree to divorce my mother."
Duke Weiguo and Song Zhichen were both shocked by Song Ye's words. They didn't expect that even Song Ye hoped that Song Zhichen and Zhou Ying would divorce.
Song Zhichen almost couldn't sit still. He tried to slow down his tone and asked, "Why?"
"Father, why don't you want to divorce?"
Song Ye didn't understand. He had seen how Song Zhichen and Zhou Ying had treated each other with coldness over the years.
But now that Zhou Ying wants to divorce, Song Zhichen acts like he is reluctant.
Song Zhichen opened his mouth to speak, but heard Song Ye's voice again -
"You keep saying you love and respect her, but you want her to call a prostitute a sister. Father, how can this be justified?"
Zhou Ying was proud by nature, and asking her to live under the same roof with a prostitute was simply an insult to her.
Song Zhichen's face turned pale. "No, Ru Niang was just an accident. I just saw that she was simple-minded and had a pitiful life experience..."
At the beginning, he just couldn't bear to see a weak woman like Ru Niang being embarrassment, so he redeemed her.
Later, she was brought back to the capital.
Song Ye: "Since you pity her life, you can't just take her as a concubine. There are so many pitiful people in the world, including the beggars on the street. Why don't you take all the beggars on the street back to your house?"
Duke Weiguo glared at Song Zhichen. He wanted to ask the same question as well. He wanted to bring anything dirty and smelly into the palace.
No one knows what’s going on in this unfilial son’s mind; even the children can see it better than he does.
Song Zhichen didn't know how to answer, so he could only squeeze out a dry sentence: "She is pregnant."
Song Ye suddenly laughed, "Have you ever thought about why she got pregnant?"
Logically speaking, Ru Niang was born in a humble family, so even if she became Song Zhichen's woman, she should have taken contraceptive soup. How did she avoid it?
Song Zhichen looked away guiltily and remained silent.
At the beginning, he did insist that Runiang drink the contraceptive soup.
But once, Runiang said that the contraceptive soup was too bitter, so bitter that her heart was trembling. Seeing Runiang's weak appearance, Song Zhichen felt distressed.
From then on, he never asked anyone to watch Runiang take the contraceptive soup again.
When Duke Weiguo and Song Ye saw Song Zhichen's reaction, there was nothing they didn't understand.
As expected of someone who makes a living in a land of fireworks, he has all sorts of tricks and methods.
"You think that Ru Niang is simple-minded. But have you ever thought about it? How can a simple-minded person survive in such a place of prostitution? Not to mention that she is the top of the list!"
Song Ye stared at Song Zhichen closely, "Father, why was Han, the woman you married, sent away in a hurry when she was pregnant and never came back? Do you really think I don't know what happened back then?"
When these words were spoken, even the Duke of Weiguo changed his expression, and Song Zhichen was struck by lightning.
Han was Song Zhichen's favorite concubine. She became arrogant after giving birth to a son.
He actually found an opportunity to attack Song Ye.
After the Duke of Wei found out, he dealt with Han in time, and even sent away the child she gave birth to.
For so long, Duke Weiguo and Song Zhichen had always thought that Song Ye didn't know about that.
"Grandfather, father, Ye'er has been practicing martial arts since he was young and has never slacked off. I noticed those people as soon as they approached."
"I pretended not to know and let my grandfather deal with Han. I just didn't want my mother to worry."
