Chang An was furious. "Have you ever thought about me?"
He only has one son, and this is what he's planning...
Chang An felt a tightness in his throat and a tightness in his heart, and a surge of frustration rushed to his eyes.
Chang Xiao remained silent for a long time before sighing and saying, "Father, let's go back and talk about it."
Chang An knew this wasn't the place to talk, so he nodded sadly and led his son toward where the crowd had gathered.
When Shang Tian saw them return, he didn't say anything, only nodded slightly in acknowledgment.
Su Qian grasped Shang Tian's hand and whispered, "Do you think they've come to an end?"
Shang Tian gently rubbed Su Qian's head and said, "We will not interfere at this time."
Regardless of the outcome, their interference in such matters will only breed resentment.
Su Qian nodded. They left Peng San to look after the place, and then the group hurried back to Shangjia Village.
Chang An first went to pay his respects to Old Madam Chang before going to see Madam Chang. "I heard you want a divorce?"
He asked this question as soon as he entered the room.
Madam Chang stiffened. "What if I say yes?"
"When have I ever wronged you, allowing you to force me like this?"
He didn't believe that Madam Chang genuinely wanted a divorce; she must have something to ask of him.
Madam Chang closed her eyes, suppressing the pain in her heart, and looked at Chang An. "General, I have been married to you for twenty years. Have you ever treated me as your wife, the person you were supposed to protect?"
If there were such a thing, how could she have allowed her cousin to harm her grandson without even offering an apology?
Human hearts are made of flesh; how could she not feel pain as the knife cut her away piece by piece?
Seeing her like this, Chang Xiao quickly knelt down in front of her and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes. "Mother, don't cry. It's all because your son is unfilial."
“How have you ever been unfilial? It’s your mother who’s useless. I can’t even get justice for you!” She buried her face in her hands on the table and wept bitterly.
With the Chang family, a prestigious clan in Songdu, gone, she no longer needed to put on an act for others every day. Finally... finally, she could cry for her deceased grandson...
"Mother." Chang Xiao looked at his mother's heartbroken appearance and didn't want to say anything more. He just wanted to rest his head on her knees and have a good cry.
That was his first child, the child he had been eagerly anticipating, but... but...
It is said that men do not easily shed tears, but only when they are truly heartbroken.
Seeing them like this, Chang An became increasingly irritated. Didn't he feel any heartache?
That was also his eldest grandson.
"What exactly do you want?"
His voice was somber, as if burning with anger. Madam Chang glanced at him indifferently and said, "I only want a divorce. I just want my children to live well."
Looking at her red and swollen eyes, Chang An sighed and said, "Can't we just let bygones be bygones about what happened back then?"
That's my grandmother who raised me; what do you expect me to do?
"What if I don't want you? Right now, all I want is for your cousin to stay out for a few days, and your grandmother is already making a scene with us."
Do you think my son and grandson would still be alive if they stayed in your house?
A sarcastic smile appeared on her lips. "Don't tell me you won't. I only lost a grandson because I trusted you."
That child was also a source of pain for him!
"I disagree." Chang Xiao is his only child. If he divorces his wife, what about him?
Wouldn't he then become childless?
Chang An felt that this matter had gone too far, and that his grandmother's problem was not something that could not be solved.
After all, his grandmother wasn't an unreasonable person.
