Qu Jingyun looked at the two people in front of her with satisfaction.
This is what her daughter and carefully chosen daughter-in-law should be like.
After a moment's thought, she turned her gaze back to Yin Xue.
Then he said, "Our Shen family and the Qu family don't care about our daughters-in-law, but there's something I want to tell you."
"If you want to divorce Shen Song, I will support your decision."
Upon hearing this, Yin Xue became anxious and tried to explain, but Qu Jingyun gave her no chance.
All that could be heard was Qu Jingyun continuing, "I know what you're thinking, and I know what you're worried about."
"What I want to tell you is that no matter what the outcome is between you and Shen Song, we are still your family. We have seen what he has done to you, and it is understandable that you do not forgive him and want a divorce."
“If you really divorce him, I am willing to recognize you as my goddaughter. I will still be your mother.”
As soon as she said this, Yin Xue's eyes reddened, and tears streamed down her face.
Even Shen Yue, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
"I'll give you time to think it over. Think it over carefully. If you find someone you truly love in the future, I will also send you off to your wedding as your godmother."
As she finished speaking, Qu Jingyun couldn't help but feel a little apologetic towards Chen Song.
But there's nothing we can do about it.
Who told Shen Song to go so far back then?
He deserves it!
"Okay, I understand. I'll think about it carefully when I get back," Yin Xueqiang said, suppressing her excitement.
"Afterwards, I will find suitable people to teach you martial arts. Of course, I don't expect you to be very powerful, but learning more about hidden weapons and self-defense will always be useful." Qu Jingyun's expression softened, and a faint smile appeared on her lips.
He then continued, "If you have nothing else to do, you may leave now."
The two responded and then turned to leave.
Shen Yunting practically lived in the Qu residence, even spending his days in and out of the corners of the residence.
He completely immersed himself in the role of a son-in-law.
Qu Jingyun let him do as he pleased, and got used to seeing him every day.
But one day when he woke up, he didn’t see Shen Yunting. He didn’t see him at all for the entire day.
As night fell, Qu Jingyun felt increasingly worried.
Given Shen Yunting's personality, he should have told him if there was anything he needed to do.
How could it just disappear without a trace?
Out of concern, Qu Jingyun specifically asked everyone in the Qu household, including Shen Cong and his sister, as well as the servants.
In the end, all he knew was that a stranger had come to the mansion with a message, and Shen Yunting left and never returned.
Qu Jingyun also sent someone to the Shen residence, but did not receive a definite answer, which deepened her worries.
Just as she was considering whether to send out her guards to investigate, the gatekeeper finally came to report that Shen Yunting had returned.
As soon as Qu Jingyun looked up, she saw Shen Yunting staggering in, looking drunk and being helped in by a servant.
The worry in my heart instantly turned into anger.
It turns out this person spent the whole day drinking.
This wasn't a big deal in itself, but the fact that the other party didn't say a word really infuriated her.
Qu Jingyun reached out and angrily tugged at Shen Yunting's ear.
She couldn't help but complain, "You seem to be enjoying your drink, but do you know how worried I was about you at home?"
Pulled by pain, Shen Yunting's eyes regained a brief clarity.
He looked up at Qu Jingyun, a smile immediately spreading across his face. Without thinking, he reached out to hug her.
But Qu Jingyun dodged it.
Qu Jingyun glanced at him and immediately ordered the servant to throw the man into the room.
Although she harbored resentment towards Shen Yunting, she still ordered the kitchen to prepare a hangover soup for him.
Looking at Shen Yunting lying carelessly on the bed, Qu Jingyun felt only helplessness in her eyes and doubt in her heart.
Was Shen Yunting out drinking with someone?
But who could it be in the capital?
Qu Jingyun couldn't understand it at all, and could only hope that the other party would come to their senses before she could talk to him.
After getting drunk, Shen Yunting became quite well-behaved and fell asleep on the bed.
Only occasionally, when he turned over and felt Qu Jingyun, would he hold her tightly in his arms.
He slowly opened his eyes as dawn broke.
His gaze fell on Qu Jingyun in his arms, and a hint of annoyance flashed in his eyes.
I drank way too much last night!
He drank the hangover soup that had been prepared beside him in one gulp, and only after feeling his headache subside did he hold Qu Jingyun in his arms again and fall asleep again.
They had indeed been married for over twenty years, and even their drunkenness was a matter of taking turns.
"Who did you go drinking with yesterday?"
Qu Jingyun opened her eyes and immediately questioned him, her face showing dissatisfaction.
"Do you know how worried I was last night? I thought something had happened to you!"
"If you're going to drink with someone, you should let me know in advance."
Upon seeing this, Shen Yunting quickly hugged Qu Jingyun tightly, no matter how much she pushed him away.
With a fawning expression, she said, "Yesterday's events were too hasty. Please don't be angry with me; I didn't mean to."
After explaining, he straightened his expression and continued, "I was drinking with the Emperor last night when he suddenly sent someone to summon me. I thought something had happened."
He didn't tell Qu Jingyun because he was worried that if something really happened, it would implicate her.
Unexpectedly, the emperor simply invited him to a restaurant in the city for drinks.
He didn't find a chance to inform Qu Jingyun before he passed out drunk.
"Your Majesty? What does he want to drink with you for?" Qu Jingyun frowned and asked impatiently.
In the vast capital city, the person she had the most complaints about was the Emperor.
"It's nothing. He was probably in a bad mood and brought up some things from the past with me." Shen Yunting sighed, his thoughts returning to last night.
He thought something major had happened, but he only saw the emperor drinking alone in a restaurant.
He hadn't seen the Emperor like this in a long time.
Of course, the current emperor would not let him see him in such a disheveled state.
Upon seeing Shen Yunting, the Emperor invited him to sit down and drink together.
Shen Yunting didn't say much and sat down on his own.
The two drank cup after cup for a long time without saying another word.
Until the Emperor suddenly brought up the story of how Shen Yunting was injured while saving him years ago.
That scar still remains on Shen Yunting's chest.
According to the imperial physician at the time, Shen Yunting was just a hair's breadth away from death.
The emperor was deeply moved and regarded Shen Yunting as his own brother.
But now...
Hearing the Emperor reminisce about the past, Shen Yunting managed to force a smile.
They didn't say anything.
Just before he was about to pass out from drunkenness, he heard the emperor sigh: "Have you ever blamed me?"
Shen Yunting did not answer, but simply fell to the ground and knew nothing more.
He didn't know how to answer.
