It was dark, and Xiu Luoran and his group gathered in a room at Xi Xiangfeng Restaurant.

Xiu Luoran asked Yi Jingxuan and Yi Jingge:

"Tell me first what the couple did after they got home."

Yi Jingxuan said: “I took Bei Yi and followed Xiang Derou to her yard.

She asked the maids to take good care of her son, and she took a maid with her and went to find her father-in-law, Chen Zhizhou..."

Chen Zhizhou had just returned from the yamen, and the autumn performance evaluation of officials was about to begin. A stupid Tongpan did not want to lose his official position, so he gave him 60,000 taels of silver in the hope that he could continue to be an official.

Although this Tongpan was not very capable, he was good at flattering others, and Chen Zhizhou liked him quite a bit and had no intention of removing him.

Now that he had received 60,000 silver coins from the Tongpan, Chen Zhizhou was very happy.

At this moment, Xiang Derou walked in.

Xiang Derou knelt down as soon as she came in. Chen Zhizhou was a little confused:

"If you have anything to say, please stand up and say it. We are a family and don't be so polite."

Chen Zhizhou did not like Xiang Tongzhi, but he was quite satisfied with Xiang Tongzhi's daughter, his daughter-in-law Xiang Derou.

Xiang Derou is talented, beautiful, generous, and tactful. She is a very qualified lady of the house.

In addition, Xiang Derou gave birth to another son, which made Chen Zhizhou extremely satisfied.

Xiang Derou did not stand up and remained kneeling:

"Dad, when I was about to marry you, you promised that you could only take a concubine if your husband was 40 and had no children.

Yanxi is four years old this year, and her husband already has someone else outside.

Hao'er, whom I have raised for two years, is not a relative's child at all, but the son born to my husband by his mistress.

Today, my husband and his lover met at Lingchan Temple, and I blocked them. My husband said that he wanted to marry his lover as his co-wife.

I don't want to share a husband with that woman, I want a divorce, please allow me, Dad."

Chen Zhizhou gritted his teeth and said, "You bastard, you were cheating outside but you did it secretly and even got discovered by your own wife."

Now that you've been discovered, you should at least come up with an excuse to get away with it. You're making a big deal out of it and even want to marry her as a concubine.

How can a woman who secretly has an affair with a man be the daughter of a good family and qualified to be his daughter-in-law?

Chen Zhizhou said, "Derou, you get up first. Don't worry, with me here, Shijun won't dare to take a concubine.

If he insists on having that woman enter the house, she can only be a concubine, or a lowly concubine at that. Your position as the head of the family cannot be shaken."

Xiang Derou thought for a moment and said, "Thank you, Dad, for making the decision for your daughter-in-law. If my husband insists on marrying that woman as his co-wife, I will definitely divorce her.

Moreover, I will take Yan Xi away as well, because my husband doesn't lack a son.

Even if Yan Xi is not here, he still has several sons."

Chen Zhizhou was secretly shocked. This meant that his daughter-in-law also knew that bastard Shijun was having a mistress outside.

Chen Zhizhou called his servants and said, "Please invite the young master here."

"Yes."

Xiang Derou stood up.

Soon, Chen Shijun came in with Wu Meir.

Chen Zhizhou also often went to places of entertainment. As soon as he saw Wu Meir's behavior, he knew that she was not a good girl.

Chen Shijun saw Xiang Derou at a glance:

"What are you doing here?"

Xiang Derou said slowly:

"If you insist on marrying a concubine, I will divorce you."

Chen Shijun smiled: "Okay, we can divorce, but you can't take Yanxi with you."

Xiang Derou looked at Chen Zhizhou, and Chen Zhizhou said:

"This is a matter between you and your spouse."

Meaning, he doesn't interfere.

Xiang Derou nodded: "Okay, I agree. This is the divorce agreement I drafted. Take a look at it. If you have no objection, you can sign it."

Chen Shijun and Chen Zhizhou were both stunned. Xiang Derou didn't want the child anymore in order to get a divorce.

How can this be?

Chen Shijun couldn't believe that Xiang Derou would give up the child:

"Are you sure, Yan Xi, you don't want it anymore?"

Xiang Derou looked at Chen Shijun:

“I declare that it’s not that I don’t want it, it’s that you don’t give it to me.

I have also thought it through. Even if I take Yan Xi away, he will still be a member of your Chen family, even if he goes to the end of the world.

In this case, it is only natural for him to stay in the Chen family. I believe you will not abuse him.

Besides, without him as a burden, I...haha."

What this means is that without this burden, it would be easier for me to get married.

Chen Shijun stared at Xiang Derou with wide eyes. Was it really Xiang Derou who said those words just now?

Xiang Derou urged, “There’s no point in talking any more, just sign it.

It can be seen that you and she have a very good relationship and are inseparable, and you even arranged her in the best courtyard.

I'm leaving to make room for her and to stop her from being an eyesore to you."

Chen Shijun is now in a difficult situation and he does not want to divorce Xiang Derou.

No matter how much he disliked Xiang Derou, she was still a lady from a wealthy family. How could his legal wife be a concubine who got promoted? It was laughable.

Chen Shijun threatened Xiang Derou:

"Think carefully, if Yan Xi stays here without your care, what will happen in the future is unknown."

Xiang Derou: "I feel sorry for him, but you won't let me take him away and insist on keeping him here. So whether he lives or dies has nothing to do with me.

He is the son of your Chen family, and you don't care about him. What can I, an outsider, say?

Just sign it, don't waste time.

Chen Shijun didn't know what to do, so he had to ask his father for help.

When Chen Zhizhou saw this, he was so angry that his teeth ached and he wanted to bite Chen Shijun twice.

You are a coward, you can stir up trouble but can't settle it. Why did I give birth to such a useless bastard like you?

Chen Zhizhou took two steps forward and slapped Chen Shijun on the face:

"Have you had enough of the quarrel? It's normal for couples to quarrel, and there's nothing wrong with a few words.

However, no matter how much you joke, you can't just say divorce casually, wouldn't that hurt the relationship between husband and wife? You bastard!

I still have official business to attend to, take your wife back and apologize to her."

"Yes."

Chen Shijun had no choice but to agree.

Xiang Derou said to Chen Shijun:

"Husband, since we are not getting divorced, I still have to take care of this family."

Xiang Derou pointed at Wu Meier:

"My father has just said that if you insist on having this woman marry you, she can only be a concubine.

Moreover, she is still a concubine."

Wu Meir was annoyed when she heard this. She was about to speak when she noticed Chen Zhizhou staring at her coldly.

Wu Meir was so frightened that she shuddered and swallowed back the words she was about to say.

Xiang Derou continued, "Also, how can a lowly concubine be worthy of living in a large courtyard? She is only worthy of living in a servant's room.

That big yard is reserved for my son to get married. Please vacate it immediately.

Please take that little bastard called Hao'er away. He is a bastard born of a lowly family, and he is not worthy of being raised by me."

After Xiang Derou finished speaking, he bowed to Chen Zhizhou, then walked away with his chest held high.

Chen Zhizhou got angry when he looked at Chen Shijun:

"Get out of here too!"

Chen Shijun pulled Wu Meir and ran out dejectedly.
