That night, Duke Yan brought his relatives over.

Zuo Heying was outside drinking with his friends when he was suddenly dragged back by someone his father sent. He was complaining a lot.

When I got home and saw my father-in-law and mother-in-law were there, my heart skipped a beat.

What's going on?

Mrs. Zuo's maiden name was Chen. At this time, Lord Chen and Mrs. Chen were also confused.

When the Duke of Yan saw that everyone was present, he asked his servants to help Madam Zuo in.

At this time, Mrs. Zuo looked pale, dazed, and her eyes were empty and lifeless.

"Li Niang!"

When Mrs. Chen saw her daughter in such a miserable state, she immediately went to meet her with a distressed look on her face.

Lord Chen's expression suddenly changed, but he didn't dare to lose his temper with Duke Yan, so he could only ask in a hurry: "Father-in-law, how could my daughter become like this!"

Zuo Heying was also frightened by Mrs. Zuo's behavior and looked confused.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Duke Yan frowned and told them everything that had happened today.

After the Duke of Yan finished speaking, the room fell into dead silence.

Zuo Heying stood aside, his whole body shaking violently.

He could never have imagined that not only was Mrs. Zuo cheating on him, but she was also pregnant with someone else's child!

"Bitch! You bitch!"

Zuo Heying was furious!

His eyes were bloodshot and his face was distorted. He looked around, pulled out a long sword from the wall, and rushed towards Madam Zuo with a fierce momentum.

Looking at his expression, it seems that he wants to cut Madam Zuo into pieces!

"Ah! No! Don't hurt Li Niang!"

Mrs. Chen was filled with shame and hatred. She never expected that her own daughter would do such a shameful thing!

But when faced with life and death, she instinctively wanted to protect her children.

Lord Chen was filled with indescribable shock; the name Li Xusheng almost strangled him!

Moreover, her daughter had done such a shameless thing. Considering the huge gap between their Chen family and the Duke of Yan's Mansion, she would probably be retaliated against!

The hall was suddenly in chaos, with Zuo Heying's roars and Mrs. Chen's screams mixed together.

Even though there was so much noise around her, Mrs. Zuo's eyes were dull and she didn't react at all.

“That’s enough!”

Duke Yan suddenly stood up and shouted at Zuo Heying.

Zuo Heying was stunned and turned to look at his father in disbelief.

"Dad, she betrayed my son and brought shame to our Duke of Yan's Mansion! She would not be a pity if she died a thousand times, why did you stop my son!"

Duke Yan's expression was stern, and he said in a loud voice: "He Ying, ask yourself if you have no responsibility at all for the situation to have developed to this point today!"

"It was you who coveted Li Niang's beauty and insisted on marrying her. After marrying her, you didn't know how to cherish her. Over the years, you have been indulgent and romantic. Does Li Niang deserve to be laughed at for this?"

"You can't control your heart, you can't manage your family, you're being affectionate everywhere, don't you think there will be a day when you will be hurt?"

"You know, Ning'er witnessed everything today! She is still young, she is still a girl, how do you expect her to cope with the situation in the future!"

"With such an unreliable father and a mother who has abandoned morality and honor, what do you want Ning'er to do? She is so innocent!"

The Duke of Yan shouted angrily and pounded the tea table with his right hand, making a loud thump!

When Zuo Anning was mentioned, Zuo Heying was stunned. Even Mrs. Zuo, who had no reaction until now, burst into tears.

After seeing Zuo Heying calm down a little, Duke Yan looked at the Chen couple again.

"And you too!"

Lord Chen's face suddenly turned pale. He was about to open his mouth to argue, but Duke Yan had already coldly rebuked him:

"Since Li Niang and Li Xusheng were already engaged, why didn't you tell them earlier? If you had said so, I would have broken He Ying's legs to stop him from breaking up the couple!"

"But in order to curry favor with the Duke of Yan, you secretly broke off the engagement and killed someone, thus laying the groundwork for a hidden danger and harming our three families!"

"Look at these innocent people. The sins they committed will eventually be punished!"

As soon as Duke Yan finished speaking, Madam Zuo burst into tears.

Yes, it was because of her greed, vanity, and selfishness that she had evil thoughts, which harmed Xu Sheng's family and also ruined her own life!

Lord and Madam Chen had not forgotten their crimes from the past. When they were exposed by Duke Yan, they were so frightened that their faces turned pale and they were speechless.

Duke Yan felt extremely tired. He glanced at everyone in the hall and said in a cold voice:

"We committed all these sins. They have nothing to do with An Ning. But now she has to bear all the consequences!"

"If the news of a mother having an affair with a stranger and conceiving a child gets out, it will ruin An Ning's happiness for the rest of her life!"

"So what I'm going to say next is a decision, not a consultation. None of you has the right to object!"

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Duke Yan let out a long breath and said with a cold face:

"Li Niang is An Ning's biological mother after all. I will not take her life. I also don't want An Ning to spend three years in mourning for such an incompetent mother and waste her best years in vain!"

"In order to protect An Ning's reputation, she cannot have a divorced mother, so He Ying, you give Li Niang a divorce letter tonight, and you two can divorce!"

Seeing Zuo Heying's face full of resentment, Duke Yan glared at him.

"In the final analysis, all of this is caused by you. You were the one who coveted beauty first, and then indulged in love. Don't be unconvinced! Do you still want to destroy An Ning?"

Zuo Heying was so angry that he wanted to cut Madam Zuo into pieces!

However, he only had one daughter to comfort, and no matter how bad a father he was, he could not ignore his daughter's reputation and future.

Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth and roared, then threw the sword in his hand to the ground, which was considered a compromise.

Upon seeing this, the Duke of Yan looked at the Chen couple again.

"Li Niang has committed an unforgivable crime. The two relatives should know this. If this kind of mistake happened to someone else, they would be thrown into a pig cage!"

The Chen couple shuddered when they heard this, and Duke Yan continued:

"I can leave Li Niang alone, but she must not stay in the capital. Send her away, the farther the better!"

"I will also send someone to keep an eye on her and make sure she never appears in front of An Ning again in her life!"

"Moreover, if our two families divorce, we can only claim to the outside world that it is a marital feud. If I hear any rumors that are detrimental to An Ning, I will not let the Chen family go, no matter what means I use!"

"I have prepared the divorce agreement and the contract. Let's sign them now and part ways!"

The Duke of Yan is also a man of swift and decisive actions. This is the countermeasure he came up with after racking his brains today.

There is only one principle, peace comes first!

The Chen family didn't dare to say a word. They were guilty as they were, and their daughter's mistake was too serious. She was lucky to be able to keep her life!

No matter how much hatred Zuo Heying felt in his heart, he had no choice but to sign his name and put his fingerprints on it for the sake of Zuo An Ning.
