Old Madam Chang pointed at them, speechless, "You...you..."
Madam Chang stood up and said calmly, "I only have one son and one grandson now, and I really cannot bear the weight of losing my grandson. Please understand, Grandmother."
How can she be understanding? She just doesn't want her granddaughter to wander alone. How come now it's her granddaughter-in-law who has to be reasonable?
Have you ever thought about An'er?
Madam Chang glanced at her calmly and chuckled, "I've thought about him for half my life, and now I have to think about my children and grandchildren."
"Abandoning your elders, do you think that's a good reputation? How are they supposed to face others after that?"
Looking at the dissatisfaction and worry on Old Madam Chang's face, Madam Chang chuckled, "I'll bear all this bad reputation."
It has nothing to do with them.
Moved, Chang Xiao took Madam Chang's hand and called out softly, "Mother." After a pause, she added, "It's my fault for burdening you for half your life."
Madam Chang shook her head. "With such a son, I am more than satisfied." She stood up and said calmly, "Let's go. We should also discuss the arrangements with Young Master Shang."
After they left the courtyard, Madam Chang said with tears in her eyes, "My son, I have wronged you."
If he really leaves the Chang family, his son will only be an ordinary person in the future. If he wants to become a general, he will have to climb up step by step.
“Mother, I remember all those grudges and hatreds.”
That was his eldest son, how could he not hate him?
The group walked silently to the Shang family's door, but couldn't muster the courage to knock. Madam Chang sighed and raised her hand.
Chang Xiao grabbed her hand. "Mother, your son is grown up now. Leave this matter to your son."
Madam Chang nodded with satisfaction and then stood behind her son.
Chang Xiao took a deep breath, knocked on the door, and frowned as he looked at the group of people. "The Chang family?"
Chang Xiao clasped his hands in greeting and said, "I am Chang Xiao, and I greet Young Master Shang."
Shang Tian nodded, stepped aside to let them in, and only after everyone was seated did he ask, "What brings you here?"
Chang Xiao opened his mouth several times, but couldn't get the words out; family scandals shouldn't be aired in public.
Madam Chang sighed and said, "I intend to divorce General Chang. I wonder if you could arrange accommodation for us?"
Shang Tian glanced at the group of people, frowned slightly, and said, "Do you know that I just issued an order yesterday that anyone who abandons their elders should be expelled from Linhai City, Jizhou?"
Madam Chang was shocked, but quickly calmed down and said, "Now that I am divorcing my husband and leaving with the child, it shouldn't be considered that the child has abandoned his elders, right?"
Hearing her answer, Shang Tian's lips curled up slightly. "Of course not." Suddenly, he changed his tone and said, "But you have to give me a reason."
Chang Xiao glanced at his mother but said nothing. Although things were not peaceful outside, it wasn't impossible to get by.
Seeing Chang Xiao's hesitation, Shang Tian shook his head and said, "Do you really want a divorce, given your son's situation?"
After the divorce, will her son be able to support the family?
Madam Chang sighed and said, "Xiao'er, although you are filial to her, there are some things that cannot be hidden from people. Speak."
"Yes, Mother."
Chang Xiao looked at Shang Tian and said, "I once had an eldest son who fell into the water and died while playing with his cousin."
My child is extremely well-behaved and doesn't usually like to go near water.
And a maid said that my child was pushed into the water.
Although the question was phrased subtly, Shang Tian understood it: "Where is your cousin?"
