Wang Yuzhen's face stiffened slightly, but she quickly recovered and lowered her head, looking heartbroken.
An Xiuyuan completely ignored her and sat to the side, seemingly lost in thought.
Furthermore, Hu Dachun had been following An Xiuyuan. After entering the city, he saw that An Xiuyuan was not heading towards the original Marquis's residence, which he found strange. He thought that An Xiuyuan was going to take Wang Yuzhen somewhere else.
It wasn't until they stopped in front of the An residence that Hu Dachun realized An Xiuyuan had indeed brought Wang Yuzhen home.
An Xiuyuan had no idea that Hu Dachun had followed him into the city and even to his doorstep.
Upon returning home, he went straight to the courtyard where Madam Wang lived. As soon as he entered, seeing his mother sitting and talking to Granny Jiang, An Xiuyuan said directly, "Mother, I want a divorce!"
"Yuan'er, have you gone mad! Why would you divorce your wife?" Madam Wang looked at her son with utter bewilderment, thinking he had lost his mind. Otherwise, why would he want to divorce his wife?
"Mother, I'm not crazy. It's that slut who did something to betray me, and I have to divorce her." An Xiuyuan pointed at Wang Yuzhen, his hatred for her burning at the thought of her sleeping with another man.
"What happened?" Madam Wang's face darkened as she looked at Wang Yuzhen and asked, "Zhen'er, tell me honestly, what exactly did you do?"
"Aunt, I... I was forced." Wang Yuzhen feigned being bullied, hoping to gain sympathy.
However, while it was true that Madam Wang loved her, she loved her son even more. Although she didn't know the specifics of what had happened, she could guess the gist of the matter from her son's words.
The thought of her son being cuckolded by Wang Yuzhen enraged Wang Shi. She stood up, walked over to Wang Yuzhen, and slapped her hard across the face.
"Wang Yuzhen, Yuan'er and I have treated you well, and this is how you repay me and Yuan'er?"
"For you, Yuan'er didn't hesitate to divorce Yunzhi. For you, Yuan'er lost his title. For you, we moved here. What more could you want?"
“We don’t ask for your gratitude, but you can’t treat Yuan’er like this! He cherishes you, yet you cheat on him. How can you be so shameless? It’s not like you don’t have other men.”
Faced with Wang's anger, Wang Yuzhen gritted her teeth and endured it. She knew that only by letting Wang vent her anger could she plead for leniency. Otherwise, pleading at this time would only add fuel to the fire; Wang would not only not listen, but would also think she was making excuses.
After scolding and hitting her, Wang's anger subsided somewhat, and she gradually calmed down. Then she looked at her son and said, "Yuan'er, I know you're wronged, but now is not the time to divorce your wife."
"Mother, she's already like this, and you still want me to keep her alive?" An Xiuyuan looked at his mother in disbelief. He thought to himself, "Who is she really, her biological daughter?"
"Yuan'er, listen to your mother." Madam Wang knew her son was heartbroken and that he could no longer accept Wang Yuzhen. If it were her, she wouldn't accept such a despicable woman either.
But recently their home has been in the eye of the storm and can no longer withstand any more turmoil.
"Speak, I'm listening!" An Xiuyuan's expression was grim. If he could, he would wish Wang Yuzhen were dead.
But when he thought about how she was his son's mother, and how she was not only his wife but also his cousin, he just couldn't bring himself to do it.
