Chapter 96 The Imperial Edict Arrives
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Wu was horrified.
Could it be that Zhiyan also wants to leave the Marquis' Mansion?
He must not be confused!
It's Xie Changning who should get out of the Marquis' Mansion...
Qin Kaiji also thought of this, and he quickly gave Shen Zhixu a look.
"Second brother, don't be impulsive. I believe in you." Shen Zhixu walked forward and patted Shen Zhiyan's shoulder gently, signaling him to calm down.
He had used this trick before.
It does no good except making you regret.
At that time, Xie Changning knew nothing and did not show any mercy to him.
Now, I will never do that to my second brother.
Xie Changning quickly asked someone to call a doctor. Nothing must happen to Qiao Lianyu and the baby in her womb.
Isn’t it nice to be a father?
She just wanted to weld this green hat onto Shen Zhiyan's head.
With Qiao Lianyu and her unborn child around, who else would marry Shen Zhiyan?
She wanted to make Chen Zhiyan lose his reputation and never be able to turn things around.
"Madam, you are so happy! Just now, the old lady's condition suddenly got better. Not only did she eat a whole bowl of porridge, but even her fingers regained some sensation." At this moment, Mother Tao walked in with a happy face.
Xie Changning's eyes lit up, "What does this mean?"
As she spoke, she looked at Qiao Lianyu and said, "This means that Lianyu and the child are the mother's lucky stars. With them around, the mother will definitely get better."
"Since my second brother has said that the child is not his, this woman and the child must not be kept. Come on! Send them to the farm immediately." Shen Zhixu straightened the wrinkles on his sleeves, looking at the guard beside him with an unquestionable look.
Xie Changning suddenly laughed, "I wonder what identity Mr. Shen has to give orders here?"
Under the gaze of the crowd, Shen Zhixu held his head high and met Xie Changning's gaze. "Although the Marquis's wife disowned me as her son and kicked me out of the Marquis's mansion, I am still the Marquis of Jing'an's son. I am the legitimate heir to the Marquis's mansion."
He spoke with confidence.
Qin Kaiji and Wu let out a breath without making a sound.
From today on, the one who is in charge of the Marquis' Mansion will no longer be the vicious woman Xie Changning.
But their order of knowledge...
"What are you still standing there for? Do you want to disobey the orders of this prince?" Shen Zhixu said sternly while looking at the guards beside him.
Unfortunately, no one paid any attention to him!
Xie Changning chuckled, "The prince is really arrogant."
"I dare not!" Shen Zhixu bowed to her, putting himself in a very humble position. "The bond between mother and son cannot be severed easily. I didn't want to have such a quarrel with my mother, so I endured it again and again. But my mother disrespected my grandmother and persecuted the descendants of the Marquisate. Now I have no choice but to stand up and shoulder the heavy responsibility of the Marquisate."
"Please don't blame me, mother! I have no choice but to do this. Otherwise, the Marquis' Mansion will be destroyed in your hands."
He paused, then turned to look at the clan leader and his clan members. "Today, as the heir of the Marquisate, I ask the clan leader to divorce my mother on my father's behalf. It's not that I, as a son, am unfilial, but my mother is no longer fit to be a mother, let alone the mistress of the Marquisate."
After he finished speaking, he lifted his robe and knelt heavily in front of Xie Changning. "Please rest assured, mother. Although you no longer recognize me as your son, I will always recognize you as your mother. Even if you leave the Marquis' Mansion, I will definitely provide for you until the end of your life. I will never let you live alone for the rest of your life."
He spoke with great righteousness.
It seems like there is affection and righteousness...
"What the eldest brother said is exactly what we want to say. If only one of us has such thoughts, we would be unfilial. But this is what we all want. It's not that we don't want to endure it, but we really can't endure it anymore." Shen Zhiyan spoke first.
Shen Zhizhou immediately knelt down with him.
Shen Jingshu said with red eyes: "It's not that we don't love our mother, it's just that we just want a way to survive."
"Chief, please have some mercy on these children!" Shen Lanyue fanned the flames.
The clan leader looked at Xie Changning with an embarrassed expression, "This..."
Qin Kaiji and Wu were extremely happy.
"Hahaha... As a son, you want to divorce your own mother for me. This is really ridiculous! Shen Zhixu, you are such a filial son." Xie Changning rushed forward and slapped Shen Zhixu.
Mrs. Xu stood up for her and said, "This is really outrageous! Why do you treat Sister Xie like this?"
"Follow the son after the father's death." Shen Zhixu replied to Xu coldly with these four words.
He glanced at Xie Changning and kowtowed heavily to the ground. "I don't want you to be known as a divorced woman. If you're willing, I'll have you sent to the manor immediately. This way, you'll still be the Marquis's wife. Nothing has changed, and nothing will change."
What a good move of retreating to advance.
They brought up the clan leader and other relatives, just to force her to leave the mansion.
"What if I don't want to?" Xie Changning asked with a smile.
Shen Zhixu's eyes hardened, "If mother persists in her wrongdoing, I will have no choice but to send her to the manor myself."
Before he could finish his words, several guards rushed in from outside, obviously all of them were his men.
"Mother, please come in!" Shen Zhixu was calm and composed, and made a gesture of invitation to Xie Changning.
"Ah!" Xie Changning sighed softly, "What a pity..."
Shen Zhixu thought she was talking about him, and he raised his lips in a victorious smile.
"The imperial edict has arrived!" Suddenly a sharp voice sounded.
