She poured herself a cup of tea and lowered her eyes to smell the fragrance.

She could vaguely guess what would happen next.

Shen took another sip of tea before continuing, "I refuse."

"I also told Chu Lingxiao that since he is a man, he should take some responsibility. If he lets a woman take care of things when something goes wrong, what kind of man is that!"

"At that moment, Chu Lingxiao was so angry that he smashed all the teacups and teapots on the tea table and walked away."

"That time, we didn't 'reconcile' until Jiang Minshan was sent away."

When it comes to "reconciliation", Shen feels extremely ironic and the bitterness becomes even stronger.

More than ten years have passed, and Shen has never mentioned the fact that Jiang Minshan was pregnant before marriage. Over time, she gradually forgot about the dispute. After all, it was just one of countless disputes of varying sizes.

Shen picked up the teacup again, then put it down again. A thought came to her mind: Could it be that...

Shen felt her chest twitch again, as if her heart was being grasped in someone's palm.

Chu Qianchen could also see what Shen was thinking and nodded, "Maybe it's because of this."

Shen: “…”

Shen's pupils shrank slightly. In fact, she was still a little confused.

At that time, she had just married into the Marquis' Mansion not long ago, and she had not yet fallen out with Chu Lingxiao.

Although Chu Lingxiao's affair with his cousin Jiang Minshan made her unhappy, it was no big deal. After all, there were so many royal family mansions in the capital, and there were too many messy and private affairs, including such affairs between men and women. For example, the third master of the Yan'an Marquis's Mansion had an affair with his father's concubine when he was young, and was caught red-handed. The news spread throughout the capital.

There are also countless cases of elopement, unmediated adultery, and so on.

She just didn't agree to Chu Lingxiao's request to ask the old marquis for mercy, so how could she arouse Chu Lingxiao's hatred to such an extent that he even vented his hatred on his own daughter?! Shen thought in doubt.

At this moment, she couldn't help but think of Chu Lingxiao's actions over the years. He tried every means to delay the request for the establishment of a crown prince, he secretly replaced Chu Yunmu's ointment, and he even thought of killing Chu Qianchen suddenly for the emperor's marriage...

Chu Lingxiao is a selfish, narrow-minded person with no bottom line.

Shen suddenly felt that Chu Lingxiao was capable of this! She rejected him and rebuked him, so he hated her for this, wanted her to suffer, wanted her to live with a huge secret for the rest of her life, wanted her to raise someone else's daughter, and wanted her daughter to suffer humiliation...

Just thinking about it, Shen's chest rose and fell violently again, and an uncontrollable emotion surged into her heart, almost destroying her completely.

When Shen recognized this cruel reality, many things became clear.

so--

All of this was planned by Chu Lingxiao long ago, which led to her sudden premature birth, the chaos, the subsequent whitewashing, and even the murder...

Chu Lingxiao's heart is so cruel and vicious!

Seeing Shen's rapid breathing, Chu Qianchen quickly rubbed the Hegu acupoint on her palm, sighed helplessly, and said: "Mom, if you are so excited again, your body will not be well."

"You are even more disobedient than the prince and Mu Ge'er!"

She seemed to be complaining, but her tone was soft, with a bit of coquettishness and cuteness, and Shen's heart softened immediately after hearing it.

She couldn't help but raise her hand to touch Chu Qianchen's cheek, as if she was touching a fragile treasure.

Shen looked at Chu Qianchen tenderly and lovingly, and said to herself in her heart that she could not continue to be sick. Just like her mother said yesterday, Sister Chen still needed her support.

Now Sister Chen is still a concubine, and she is letting Jiang Minshan's daughter take everything that should belong to her...

For the sake of her two children, she cannot be depressed.

She still has a lot to do! Shen's eyes lit up little by little, so firm, so tolerant, like a vast and boundless starry sky.

At this time, there was a sound of curtains being pulled, and the wife of Duke Mu came in. Looking at the mother and daughter holding hands, she felt a little depressed and uncomfortable.

In fact, she had arrived a cup of tea ago and stopped the maid who was trying to pay her respects. She also heard some of what happened outside and was so angry that she almost suffocated.

Lady Mu tightly grasped the Buddhist beads in her hand and asked, "Azhi, what are your plans?"

These things are really intolerable, Chu Lingxiao is really going too far!!! Shen: "..."

Shen frowned and pondered, her lips pressed into a straight line, her eyes deep.

Lady Mu asked directly, "Azhi, do you want to divorce?"

This simple question startled Nanny Chen, Dongmei and Amber. Their pupils shrank and they widened their eyes in disbelief.

Shen: “…”

Of course Shen wanted to divorce. It would be best if she could leave the Chu family and have nothing to do with the Chu family and Chu Lingxiao anymore.

However, according to the laws of the Great Qi, a woman could only take away her dowry when she divorced.

Her two children can only have the surname Chu and can only stay in the Chu family and the Yongding Marquis Mansion. They will be at the mercy of Chu Lingxiao. After all, a father killing his son is not guilty!

Shen held Chu Qianchen's hand tightly and shook her head, "No divorce."

It's not that she doesn't want to divorce, she just can't.

"..." Lady Mu, Duke of Mu, sighed tiredly, feeling that this was where the difficulty of the matter lay.

By divorce, only Shen Zhi could leave the Chu family.

Although Chu Qianchen is married, her surname is still Chu and she is a daughter of the Chu family.

Not to mention Chu Yunmu, who is only five years old. Once his parents divorce, he will definitely have no chance of becoming the crown prince, and he may even be bullied by his stepmother in the future.

Chu Lingxiao is the father of Chu Qianchen and Chu Yunmu. If the ugly things he did were to spread, Chu Yunmu would also lose face. He would be criticized for having such a father for the rest of his life.

Lady Mu, the Duke's wife, felt as if her heart was burning.

At this time, Shen said again: "No divorce, but I can lose my husband."

Her voice was light and calm, neither angry nor angry, with an understated firmness.

Her eyes were black, clear and bright, flashing a light as sharp as a knife blade, and like a thousand-year-old well, which made Lady Mu Guogong's heart slightly chilled.

“……” Lady Mu, Duke of Mu, calmed herself down and moved her lips slightly.

My daughter meant that she wanted to...

Intellectually, Lady Mu, the Duke's wife, actually thought that this was fine and that it would be all over once and for all. However, her daughter was brought up in pampered love, so how could she let her kill someone? It was not worth dirtying her hands for such a scumbag.

There was silence in the room, and a burst of laughter broke the strange atmosphere.

Chu Qianchen couldn't help laughing, revealing a row of neatly braided teeth, with curved eyebrows, as if he had heard something interesting.

Shen wanted to tell Chu Qianchen that she was not joking, but Chu Qianchen moved closer to Shen, held her right hand with both hands, stared into her eyes, and said seriously: "Mom, let's get a divorce."

"You are still young. There is no need to spend your entire life in the Yongding Marquis' Mansion."

When talking about "Marquis Yongding's Mansion", Chu Qianchen's face was calm, as if he was talking about an insignificant place.

She could imagine what Shen and Lady Mu were worried about, but to Chu Qianchen, who had lived two lifetimes, these concerns were really insignificant.

To Chu Qianchen, the Yongding Marquis Mansion was not a good place.

In her previous life, when she was fourteen years old, she was also afraid of being kicked out of the house. When she was kicked out, she felt as if the world was turned upside down, her life was dark and there was no hope anymore.

However, when she met the prince later, she discovered how vast the world was.

The sky is high for birds to fly, and the sea is wide for fish to leap.

Shen still has a very long life ahead of her, and Chu Qianchen doesn't want her to be trapped in the Yongding Marquis's Mansion for the rest of her life. Her life shouldn't be lived just for her two children.

Shen: “…”

Shen didn't respond, but just patted Chu Qianchen's hand gently.

The gentler the movements of her hands, the more hatred she felt in her heart.

She told herself over and over again that she would not let the Chu family go!

There was a gleam of hatred in Shen's eyes, which could not be suppressed at all.

Chu Qianchen could naturally see that Shen was a little extreme now, and hatred prevailed in her heart.

When a person is angry, no matter how others persuade him, it will be useless. Shen has to figure it out himself.

Chu Qianchen felt both distressed and helpless. In her opinion, it was not worth it for Shen to be trapped in the Marquis' Mansion for the rest of her life.

She also knew that the reason why Shen made this decision was not for herself, but for Chu Yunmu and herself.

Therefore, they just need to reassure Shen.

Take your time, don't rush, they have plenty of time in this life.

Lady Mu looked at the mother and daughter, her eyes slightly warmed up, she felt sad, but also fortunate, fortunately they still found out the truth, fortunately they were not deceived by Chu Lingxiao for their whole lives, fortunately! Lady Mu wiped her eyes with a handkerchief, at this time, Dongmei said outside: "Madam, the carriage is ready."

Shen called Dongmei in and asked her to help her get up. She said coldly, "I have to go back to the Marquis' Mansion to ask for some interest first."

Now, Chu Lingxiao is not in the capital, so whether she wants to divorce or remain a widow, she can't do it for the time being. So she can only ask the lady for some interest first.

"Azhi." Lady Mu, the Duke's wife, frowned slightly.

The reason why the eldest daughter vomited blood and was on the verge of death yesterday was because she was so angry that she couldn't stand any more stimulation. At the moment, she should recover first.

"Mom, don't worry, I know what's going on. I'm not that fragile." Shen said again, looking at Lady Mu and Chu Qianchen with a firm look, "I must go on this trip."

She had been holding her anger in for too long, and if she continued holding it in, it would only make her feel depressed again.

She has already recognized her biological daughter, so there is no reason for her to hold it in and hurt herself, causing pain to her loved ones and joy to her enemies.
