An Xiuyuan was torn, unsure of what to choose. Logically, he should choose the title and future prospects, since they were passed down from his ancestors.
But Wang Yuzhen was the woman he had liked since childhood and loved deeply. He couldn't bear to give her up.
Wang Yuzhen saw An Xiuyuan's dilemma, stepped forward and grabbed his sleeve, saying, "Brother Yuan, don't leave me. Zhen'er was wrong, Zhen'er will never dare to do it again."
“Brother Yuan, think about Ming’er. He’s your eldest son. He’s so adorable and so clever. He’s bound to amount to something great in the future. You can’t let her have a mother who’s bullied by servants, can you?”
"If that's the case, how will Ming'er face himself in the future? How will he have the face to live in this world?"
It must be said that Wang Yuzhen knew how to manipulate An Xiuyuan. Although he loved Wang Yuzhen, his son was more important to him.
Madam Wang felt the same way; she didn't want her grandson to have a mother who would be gossiped about. Besides, Wang Yuzhen was someone she had raised herself, and although she was her niece, their relationship was closer than that of mother and daughter.
Of course, she and Wang Yuzhen both harbored a naive belief: the title of Marquis of Dingyuan was bestowed by the emperor, and even if it were to be revoked, it would be up to the emperor to decide. While it was true that Lu Cang of Dongli was the regent, his power couldn't possibly exceed that of the emperor.
At that time, they can use their connections and find a way to keep their titles from being stolen by the palace.
Thinking of this, Wang couldn't help but speak up for Wang Yuzhen. At this moment, she had already forgotten her earlier regret.
If Yunzhi knew what Wang was thinking, she would definitely think she was senile. For a woman, she was even willing to give up her title. One wonders if the old Marquis of Dingyuan in the afterlife would be so angry that he would jump out of his coffin.
An Xiuyuan was already reluctant to part with Wang Yuzhen, and with his mother's support and the thought of the lovely child, he quickly made a decision.
Well, even without the title, he still holds an official position.
The time it takes to drink a cup of tea passed quickly, and Dongli Lu Cang had also sent away all those who had come to pay their respects in the courtyard.
Once the courtyard was empty again, Dongli Lucang then asked Mingyi to call An Xiuyuan out.
An Xiuyuan followed Mingyi out of the house, then knelt again before Dongli Lucang and Yunzhi, saying, "Your Highness, I have made my choice. Wang is my wife and the mother of my child. Please forgive her this time."
Upon hearing this, Dongli Lucang and Yunzhi both understood that An Xiuyuan only wanted women and not titles.
He's definitely mentally ill.
Yunzhi looked at An Xiuyuan with disgust, thinking to herself: It's a good thing they got divorced, otherwise, staying with someone like that for too long might have ruined my brain.
Dongli Lu Cang looked at An Xiuyuan with mixed feelings. This was the first time he had ever seen someone who would give up their future for a woman.
However, since this is his choice, we should respect his decision.
Therefore, Dongli Lu Cang glanced at An Xiuyuan indifferently and said, "I understand what you mean. However, you'd better keep a close eye on your women in the future. If there is a next time, I won't let it go so easily."
"Yes, yes, yes, Your Majesty, I will certainly keep her in check."
"Zhizhi, let's go." Dongli Lucang didn't look at An Xiuyuan again, and took Yunzhi's hand to walk outside. Today, he only came for Yunzhi, as for the Hou Mansion's wedding banquet, let's just forget about it.
The guests at the Marquis's residence had not yet left. Seeing Dong Li and Lu Cang holding hands, they all felt a mix of emotions.
