"An'er, tell your mother, do you really want to divorce Madam?" Look at him, he doesn't seem like he wants a divorce at all.
Shao Qing'an lowered his head and did not answer directly. After a long silence, he told his mother, "Actually, Miss Liu and I were not really husband and wife. We only got together because our families were urging us to get married."
"It was just a contract. I said that if she wanted a divorce, I would definitely give her her freedom."
After hearing the reason, Madam Shao was dumbfounded. Good heavens, she never expected her son to be so quietly doing something so big, secretly carrying out such a thing.
But now is not the time to discuss this issue. He looked at his son seriously and then said, "If I told you that Menggui wanted to divorce you because of Xinyue, would you still divorce her?"
Shao Qing'an's eyes widened in disbelief. "Mother, are you joking?"
If she truly loved him, why did she choose to divorce him?
Madam Shao saw through her son's thoughts at a glance and asked him directly, "When she drank that sweet soup with medicine on it that day, why was your first thought to find a doctor?"
"Shouldn't she see a doctor after taking Chinese medicine?" Shao Qing'an asked, his face full of doubt.
Seeing her son like this, Madam Shao suddenly understood why Wan Ge hadn't fallen for the boy. Look at his wooden head; even if she gave him a few more chances, he still couldn't compare to His Highness the Crown Prince.
No wonder he hasn't been able to win over the woman he likes for over a decade. His Majesty has only been in power for a short time, and now his children are already talking.
"As her husband, when your wife was poisoned, your first thought was to find a doctor. Anyone would think you're still hung up on your past relationship. They must know about this!"
Since they were talking about a contract, Liu Menggui should be fully aware of what her son had done.
Moreover, who doesn't know that Young Master Shao was once infatuated with the young lady of the Prime Minister's mansion? Any woman would think that he still has feelings for his ex, and that's why his first thought would be to call a doctor.
“But my relationship with her is based on a contract. How could I possibly bully her at a time like that? That would be ungentlemanly.”
"You, you, you!" Madam Shao was almost furious. "I really don't understand how your father and I, who are both so bright, could have given birth to such a stupid and dumb child like you."
When Madam Shao says he's stupid, she's referring to his emotional intelligence. Aside from matters of the heart, Shao Qing'an excels in everything he studies.
"With a brain like yours, I'm afraid your father and I could wait another hundred years and still not have a grandson."
Shao Qing'an seemed to have come to his senses as well, and bowed respectfully to his mother, saying, "Please enlighten me, Mother."
…
The next day, Shao Qing'an prepared many gifts and went directly to the Liu residence.
The first person Shao Qing'an met was Lord Liu. When he saw him, he bowed respectfully and said, "This son-in-law greets his father-in-law."
Lord Liu snorted coldly: "Since the young marquis has come to deliver the divorce papers, he should refrain from calling me father-in-law."
“Father-in-law, you misunderstand. I’m not here to deliver divorce papers; I’m here to invite my wife home.”
Lord Liu was taken aback when he heard this. "Huh? Didn't Meng Gui say that they were getting a divorce? The young marquis will be coming over in the next few days to deliver the divorce papers."
Shao Qing'an continued, "It's all my fault for being foolish and making my wife angry. I've been preparing gifts these past few days to apologize to her."
