Song Maozhang knew in his heart that the child wasn't his, but he didn't want to lose face and be humiliated, but in the end...
But the regent completely tore away the fig leaf!
He could only grit his teeth and slap her across the face, "You bitch, you actually cheated on me with someone else?"
Chen was knocked to the ground, bleeding profusely, but she managed to get up and knelt down to beg for mercy: "My lord, this is all a misunderstanding, please forgive me, I will never dare to do it again!"
"I will write a letter of divorce immediately. From now on, you will no longer be a member of the Song family!"
"My lord!"
Upon hearing this, Madam Chen hurriedly grabbed Song Maozhang's leg, pleading, "I was wrong, please forgive me this time. Please don't divorce me, considering that I've borne you children and worked so hard for the Marquis's mansion all these years!"
"Get out of my way!"
Song Maozhang felt that everyone was laughing at him, and he had completely lost face.
Lift your foot directly.
He kicked her to the ground.
"Father—" Song Ruoying cried and begged her father.
Song Yuxiu and Song Shaohuai also knelt down to plead for their mother.
Shen Zhiyi frowned slightly, inwardly mocking:
Therefore, being a woman is truly difficult.
When a man cheats on his wife and has multiple wives and concubines, even if Song Yuxiu keeps a mistress, people will only gossip about it. But when it comes to the mother-in-law, people wish they could tear her to pieces.
Song Maozhang was furious and glared angrily at his wife.
"If it weren't for the child, you would have drowned me in a pig cage and beaten to death with sticks after you cheated on me and got pregnant!"
Upon hearing this, Chen's face turned deathly pale.
He lost too much blood and fainted.
A flurry of activity ensued as everyone hurriedly carried her into the inner room. The old lady could only force a smile and fawn over the Empress Dowager: "Your Majesty, so many things have happened at the Marquis's residence today, and we have been so negligent. Please consider this..."
"I don't care, but shouldn't your Marquis's mansion give the Shen family girl an explanation for the marriage fraud?"
The old lady immediately looked at Shen Zhiyi, "Zhiyi, we are all family. Grandmother knows that you have always been sensible and generous, and you like Yuxiu so much, so you will definitely not hold it against him."
"Grandma promises you, he will never misbehave outside again!"
Shen Zhiyi chuckled softly: "Grandma, do you think I'm stupid?"
"How...how could I?"
"Song Yuxiu hasn't even touched me in the two years since we got married. Marrying into the Marquis's mansion is just making me live like a widow." Shen Zhiyi said with a slight sneer.
"Furthermore, he is infertile, so what's the difference between him and a useless person?"
"What makes you think that after knowing he betrayed me, I can still treat a useless person with respect and grow old together with him?!"
Song Yuxiu had just returned to his mother's inner room when he heard the commotion and came out. "Could it be that you want to leave the Song family?"
"Otherwise what?"
"If you are divorced, who in the capital would want a divorced woman?"
"Divorce me?" Shen Zhiyi sneered. "Song Yuxiu, what right do you have to divorce me? You're a piece of trash; I'm the only one who doesn't want you!"
"you……"
The fact that he had no heir almost crushed Song Yuxiu's male dignity to the ground.
“You’ve written a divorce agreement; we’ll go our separate ways from now on.”
Upon hearing this, Zhou Xuance's lips curled slightly beneath his mask.
Song Yuxiu's face turned deathly pale.
Now that he has been diagnosed with infertility, and Lin Yaoyao is a despicable woman, if he doesn't seize Chen Zhiyi's favor, his life will be completely over. Naturally, he doesn't want a divorce, but when his gaze meets the Empress Dowager's cold eyes, he simply lowers his head slightly and says, "I..."
"I will write a divorce agreement."
The Empress Dowager remained silent, clearly tacitly approving of the divorce.
The Marquis's residence was a den of iniquity, filled with filth and sordid affairs, which even the Empress Dowager could not tolerate.
"Once the divorce papers are written, just send them to the Duke of Zhenguo's residence," Shen Zhiyi said.
Song Yuxiu frowned. "You want to go back to the Duke's mansion?"
Shen Zhiyi chuckled softly, "Not leaving? Staying at the Marquis's residence to continue watching you make a fool of yourselves?"
"..."
Song Yuxiu's face turned pale, but he had no way to refute her. He could only watch helplessly as she left the Marquis's residence with the Empress Dowager, while the guests gradually dispersed, still muttering about what had happened at the Marquis's residence that day.
Bad news travels fast.
Before long, the entire capital knew about the Marquis's scandalous affair.
**
Shen Zhiyi was sitting in the Empress Dowager's carriage at this moment.
There were four people in total. Shen Zhiyi stood close to the Empress Dowager, Wen Qing followed, and...
Regent!
Zhou Xuance sat opposite the three men, remaining silent.
The Empress Dowager was somewhat speechless.
This younger brother of the emperor usually prefers riding horses to riding in carriages.
Today was quite strange; he also squeezed in, his reason being: "It's hot and the sun is scorching, so the Empress Dowager wants me to come into the carriage to escape the heat."
Summer hasn't arrived yet?
Escape the heat?
Is it really that hot?
The Empress Dowager had no interest in his affairs, and only looked at Shen Zhiyi: "You and Song Yuxiu have been married for two years, but you haven't consummated your marriage yet?"
Shen Zhiyi nodded, "He said he was unable to have children because he was impotent, so..."
"Are you stupid? You actually believe that kind of reason?"
“I told you long ago that Song Yuxiu was no good man, and you didn’t believe me.” Wen Qing frowned. “But I didn’t expect that there wasn’t a single good person in the Xuanhua Marquis’s mansion. I think that old lady is also a wolf in sheep’s clothing.”
"Given everything that's happened, do you still want to keep you in the Marquis's mansion, to continue serving them like a slave?"
"Absolutely shameless!"
Wen Qing looked even angrier than she did.
"Young and ignorant, just naive." Shen Zhiyi said with a helpless expression.
"I've already sent a maid back to inform my family that I'll stay at the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion with you tonight." Wen Qing felt that Shen Zhiyi was utterly in love with Song Yuxiu.
