We're saying we should avoid these pitfalls at all costs.
Shen Chang's face turned ashen: "..."
——
As soon as Shen Tangning entered, she dismissed everyone around her and pulled Madam Shen to sit down.
"Has Aunt Fang been behaving well during her pregnancy?"
Hearing her daughter's words, Madam Shen gave a slight snort: "They may appear well-behaved on the surface, but they might not be so in private."
Didn't she used to think that Fang was a law-abiding person?
Shen Tangning's eyes flickered slightly, and she said casually, "Father dotes on Aunt Fang so much. If she gives birth to a son in the future, her status will rise accordingly."
A faint, cold glint flashed in Madam Shen's eyes as she said calmly, "Whether she has the fortune to give birth is still uncertain."
Shen Tangning's eyelashes trembled slightly as she noticed that her mother hadn't said "whether or not she has the good fortune," but rather "whether or not she has the good fortune to be born." The difference of just one word could make a world of difference.
Her thoughts were in turmoil, and she curled the corners of her lips: "Aci is impulsive, Mother must keep him in check, lest he offend Aunt Fang."
Her daughter wouldn't remind her for no reason. Madam Shen looked up at her, a thoughtful look flashing in her eyes: "You're right. He's reached the age where he should settle down and be more mature."
Shen Tangning felt relieved, but then remembered something and casually said, "Last time I went to the palace to see my aunt, she was very dissatisfied with my father and even asked me to ask my mother if she had any thoughts about divorce?"
"Divorce?" Madam Shen paused, clearly indicating that she had not yet considered this issue.
Her daughter is already married, so she doesn't need to worry too much. But what will happen to Aci if she gets a divorce?
With his personality, if he had stayed in the Shen family, he might have been schemed against by Fang and left with nothing but bones!
Shen Chang would also disagree. He is a man who values his reputation above all else. If they were to divorce, he would be ridiculed and criticized, and he would lose face in court.
Unless one possibility exists, the Xie family will fall into ruin.
Madam Shen's eyes were unreadable, and she finally sighed, "Ningning, this matter is not so simple."
Shen Tangning noticed her hesitation, which proved that she still had hope for her father, or that she had other concerns.
"It's good that Mother has this idea; we can deal with the rest gradually."
Upon hearing this, Madam Shen paused, then asked earnestly, "Ningning, do you wish for your mother to divorce your father?"
If they divorce, she might not be able to hold her head high in her husband's family.
Shen Tangning paused for a moment, then said earnestly, "Daughter only hopes that Mother can be happy."
It's obvious that her father can't give her happiness at all. So why should she waste her whole life on someone who doesn't love her instead of pursuing her own happiness?
Madam Shen was taken aback. In her life, like most women in the world, she worked for her own family before marriage, for her husband's family after marriage, and for her children after giving birth.
How many times was it for her own sake?
With her eyes slightly moist, she bent down and hugged Shen Tangning, patting her head: "Okay, Mother knows."
Shen Tangning raised her hand to hug her mother, nuzzling her cheek affectionately against her chest, her voice slightly choked with emotion: "No matter what, I will always be my mother's daughter."
Upon hearing this, Madam Shen almost burst into tears. She tilted her head slightly, and her eyes slowly became firm.
In that case, she should make plans as soon as possible.
