Fang Yanran's eyes shone: "What? No! Impossible!"
She never thought that Xu Zekun would really leave her. Isn't Yao Susu okay?!
"Mom, mom, you are lying to me, right?" She hurriedly climbed onto Mrs. Li's arm and asked urgently.
Madam Li yanked her arm down harshly, angrily saying, "It's all my fault. Because you're the youngest in the family, I've always spoiled you, which is why you're so clueless! Your sister and I have told you countless times that Xu Zekun is a rare talent, and he's interested in you. It's a good match, but you're so stubborn! The child in my concubine's belly is the result of years of anticipation, yet you're so foolish that you openly embarrass her and nearly cause her to miscarry! How could Xu Zekun tolerate you if you act like this?!"
Fang Yanran burst into tears: "I... I hate, mother, I hate that concubine, I hate that Xu Zekun only has eyes for her, but treats me like a piece of trash, I..."
"Enough!" Madam Li's eyes were filled with disappointment. "Now Xu Zekun wants to divorce you because of your secret meeting with Feng Shaoxuan. Think about it, if this gets out, how can you live with dignity?! Our Fang family, your father, and your sister will all be humiliated by you!"
Fang Yanran was horrified. Xu Zekun actually knew about this. He actually knew about her secret meeting with her cousin?!
Everything her mother said was too much for Fang Yanran to bear. She was really scared. She cried and pulled her mother's sleeve: "Mom... Mom, Yan'er knows she was wrong. Yan'er doesn't want to divorce. Please help me."
She has always been proud and rarely seen in such an embarrassing situation. After all, she is her own daughter, so how could Mrs. Li not feel pain in her heart.
However, after thinking about the current situation, she hardened her heart and said, "Yanran, I can't help you. The only one who can help you is you."
She wiped Fang Yanran's tears and said, "I heard from mother that your mother-in-law will never agree to Xu Zekun and you getting a divorce. If this reason is made public, not only will we be embarrassed, but the Ningyuan Marquisate will also lose face. But the son-in-law's heart has turned cold, and this is a big deal. You must change your temper and find a way to win back the son-in-law's heart, understand?"
Seeing Fang Yanran still gritting her teeth and refusing to respond, Madam Li knew that she still cared about that concubine and wanted to step forward and slap her awake again: "What are you still hesitating about? Can't you see the current situation clearly? I tell you, if you really divorce Xu Zekun, you can only become a nun after you go home!"
After saying this harsh word, Madam Li left the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion, leaving Fang Yanran alone. She really didn't know why everything changed in just one day.
Xu Zekun actually said such words about divorce for that woman. Did she really do something wrong?
-
Wu was furious. The first thing she said after waking up was to grab Xu Zekun's hand, her eyes full of heartache: "Ziling... my son."
Xu Zekun was hurt by his mother's gaze. He knew that his mother was worried about him. He held Xu Zekun's hand and said, "Fang Yanran... actually bullied you like this!"
Wu was furious. She finally understood why Fang Yanran had been so cold and indifferent since marrying into the Ningyuan Marquis's Mansion. It turned out that she had someone else in her heart...
When did Zi Ling find out? How long did he endure the humiliation?
Wu Shiguang's heart broke when he thought about it.
Her son, who was so handsome and upright, had committed a great sin! He married a fickle woman like Fang Yanran!
"Mother, please grant me your blessing." Xu Zekun lowered his eyelids slightly, revealing a rare vulnerability.
Wu's heart gradually softened.

Divorce is not a trivial matter. When Ning Yuanhou knew about it, he called Xu Zekun to the study and started to scold him.
"Have you lost your mind? You want to divorce the county lady for the sake of your concubine! Do you know that her elder sister is the imperial concubine!!" Not only did he dote on his concubine, but now he felt that it was too absurd for his son to favor his concubine over his wife.
Xu Zekun knew that it would be difficult for his father to agree, and he couldn't let his father think that the divorce was because of Susu, as that would be bad for Susu.
Without a moment's hesitation, he lifted up his clothes and knelt in front of Ningyuan Hou.
Ning Yuanhou was also encouraged to see his usually proud son being so formal.
Xu Zekun's cool voice echoed, "Father, my son's divorce from the County Princess was a well-considered decision. Behind the County Princess is the Imperial Concubine, and behind the Imperial Concubine is the Emperor's eldest son. I've always wanted to be a loyal subject, but by marrying the County Princess, I've inevitably become connected to the Emperor's eldest son. Now is the perfect time to sever this connection."
Ningyuan Hou fell into deep thought. He had also heard the rumor that the emperor was going to make his legitimate son the crown prince. Regardless of whether this was true or not, anyone with a discerning eye could see that the emperor's eldest son was indeed incapable of great use.
In this case, there is nothing to be afraid of the imperial concubine.
Although cutting off at this time may seem like a mean act, it can indeed be said to be a smart move.
"But if the secret meeting between Fang Yanran and my cousin were to be revealed, I'm afraid you would be ridiculed!"
This is also what Ning Yuanhou is worried about. There is no doubt that Fang Yanran is wrong in this matter, but once others know about it, Zi Ling will be the one who is laughed at!
Xu Zekun lowered his eyes: "Son, I don't care." He really didn't care, and divorce would be an act of killing one thousand enemies and hurting eight hundred of your own. But precisely because he also paid a price, if the imperial concubine came to the emperor to flatter him, the emperor would also be reserved.
After all, the fact that he was willing to divorce Fang Yanran even after revealing such a thing was enough to show that he had endured enough in his relationship with the county lord, wasn't it?

Fang Yanran was still thinking about how to coax Xu Zekun. She had even decided to throw away all her face and go to Xu Zekun in plain clothes to apologize.
