However, after thinking about it, the old lady of Changxing Marquis decided that since she had nothing to do at home anyway, she might as well go to the palace for a stroll.
Hearing the old lady agree, Wang was overjoyed, leaving the old couple somewhat bewildered. They quickly composed themselves and said, "Then your daughter-in-law will go back now."
After Wang left, the Marquis of Changxing and his wife were about to ask Chuanze what he wanted to see them about, but Chuanze also got up to take his leave. The two stared blankly at the backs of Wang and Chuanze as they left one after the other, looking at each other with questions in their eyes. Why were these two acting so strangely today?
When Wang was almost at her residence, Chuanze, who was following behind, called out to her.
"Ze'er, what's wrong?"
Although she was now allowed to enter the palace to see Chuanwen, it was uncertain whether she could stop Chaoyang from pushing Chuanwen away, so Wang Shi was inevitably somewhat uneasy. But Chuanze saw this unease as his mother's worry that her secret rendezvous with someone would be discovered.
“Mother, although Father is busy with official business, he has never taken a concubine and is devoted to you.”
Chuanze carefully chose his words, while Madam Wang was completely baffled. However, she knew her son was right and nodded, "Your father has indeed treated me fairly well."
While others have multiple wives and concubines, Chuan Hai, though sometimes a bit simple-minded and unable to see through the sinister intentions of Chuan Wen's family, is still quite good to her.
Seeing that his mother agreed with him, Chuanze continued, "Father has always been very attentive to our upbringing and has been extremely good to us."
Madam Wang nodded again. Indeed, she cared about her sons' studies and hoped they would excel. Recently, she had also arranged marriages for Yu'er. Although the families chosen were not from the royal family, they were all acceptable. None of them were bad. She not only considered family background but also carefully examined the character of the people. She was truly dedicated.
As Wang thought about it, she felt quite sorry for Chuanhai. If she really couldn't stop the Princess of Chaoyang from framing Chuanwen, and she was found out, wouldn't that implicate him and the children?
Seeing his mother's remorse, Chuanze breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that his mother had not been completely blinded by that other man. So he carefully advised, "In that case, shouldn't Mother also refrain from doing anything that would betray Father?"
Wang nodded subconsciously, but then realized something was wrong and quickly looked at Chuanze, "You..."
He wanted to ask what she knew, but didn't know how to bring it up. Seeing that his mother was remorseful, Chuanze didn't want to embarrass her by pointing out the truth, so he said he had to go back first because he had homework to do, and then left quickly.
Watching her son's retreating figure, Wang felt a little strange. However, her son made a valid point: she couldn't do anything that would betray the family tradition.
After Chuanze comforted his mother, he walked back with much more ease. When he reached the rockery, he saw Chuanyu looking for something and went over to ask her what she was looking for.
Chuan Yu was searching intently when her older brother's voice suddenly came from behind, startling her. She calmed herself down and said, "I dropped my handkerchief, so I came out to look for it. I wonder if I dropped it here when I was watching the fish by the pond."
Chuanze wanted to help look for it, but Chuanyu quickly stopped him, saying, "Brother, you should go study. It's nothing good anyway. I'll just look for it randomly."
Chuanyu pushed Chuanze away. Although Chuanze found it strange, he didn't think much of it and went back to study.
Watching her older brother walk away, Chuanyu finally breathed a sigh of relief. If her brother knew that she had dropped a love letter, he would probably scream so loudly that the roof tiles in the house would fall off.
However, Chuan Yu searched high and low but couldn't find it, and couldn't help but worry. It would be fine if it fell into the pool, but if someone found it, who knows what might happen.
After returning to her room, she took out the large iron hammer that she had secretly hidden under the bed. Instead of lifting it, she sat on the floor and pondered over the hammer.
For some reason, her father started talking to her about potential husbands a few days ago after returning from court. He even had her mother take her to visit several families, either to offer incense or to go boating.
But although those families were nice, none of them were ones she liked.
Xu Wuyou originally said that he would propose marriage after winning the battle, but now he is far away on the frontier and his father has arranged for him to meet potential partners. What should he do in this situation?
After returning home, Chuanze focused on reviewing his lessons. However, when his father called him to the study to check on his studies that evening, he noticed that his father had a furrowed brow, as if he had something on his mind.
Chuanze was puzzled, wondering if his father was worried about official business or had discovered something. He asked cautiously, and his father glanced at him and said, "Your mother wants a divorce."
"puff--"
Chuanze spat out the mouthful of tea he had just taken a sip of, his eyes filled with disbelief. Hadn't his mother listened to his advice and decided to break up with that bastard and live happily with his father?
Why?
Chuanze concealed his inner panic and his disappointment in his mother, and asked even more cautiously.
Chuanhai didn't expect his son to react so strongly, but he didn't think much of it. After all, they were living a good life, and anyone would be surprised to hear Wang's unreasonable demands.
He sighed and shook his head. "I don't know either. Your mother can't explain it either. She just insists on a divorce."
“Then Father…”
Meeting his son's questioning gaze, Chuanhai sighed again, "Your mother and I have been through so much together. Even if your mother encounters something, we can solve it together. There is no need for us to get a divorce."
Chuan Ze felt relieved, but at the same time felt even more sorry for his father. If his father knew that his mother had cheated on him, he wondered if he would still be able to say these words so calmly.
Chuanze decided he still needed to find another opportunity to talk to his mother. Was this family really going to fall apart like this?
