Gao Xinwan was very worried when she saw Shu Deyun was still hesitating.

She leaned close to Shu Deyun and whispered, "Master, Linglong is right. For so many years, Shu Mingzong and his sister have been eating and living in our Shu family's house. They have also used the name of the Shu family to get many benefits and various conveniences. Hua's dowry has been spent long ago. Moreover, Shu Mingzong also beat Xuan'er like this, they have to compensate us for the medical expenses."

Gao Deyun looked at Gao Xinwan meaningfully, and suddenly felt that Gao Xinwan had indeed gone too far in some aspects in the past. No wonder the two children born to the eldest son had become estranged from the Shu family, and their relationship with the old Shu family was worse than that of strangers.

Regarding the dowry of his daughter-in-law Hua, Shu Deyun has always wanted Gao Xinwan to return it to Shu Mingzheng and her brother.

He also knew that even if a biological mother coveted her daughter-in-law's dowry, she would be ridiculed, let alone a concubine.

It is even more despicable for a concubine to covet the dowry of her biological mother and daughter-in-law.

If this were to get out, it would mean that he, as the head of the family, was doing something unkind, favoring his concubine over his wife.

But every time he mentioned returning the dowry, Gao would burst into tears, saying that the mansion's expenses were too high and that the dowry had already been spent on the legitimate son and daughter.

He couldn't bear to force Gao, so Hua's dowry has not been returned to this day.

But now, the Princess of Qinghe County is using the privacy of the Shu Mansion to force him. If he still wants to get away with it, the Shu Mansion will become a laughing stock in the entire imperial capital, and it will even affect the future of Chengzu and Xuaner.

Shu Deyun exhaled, closed his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Wan'er, return Hua's dowry."

"Master~" Old Mrs. Gao twisted her body, looking unhappy.

In the eyes of Gu Qinghuai, Shu Mingzong and others, Mrs. Gao's pretentiousness made them feel sick.

Shu Deyun said angrily, "I said I would return it! Why are you hesitating? You, a concubine, have seized the dowry of the mistress's daughter-in-law. Don't you think it's shameful enough if the news gets out?"

Old Gao obviously didn't expect Shu Deyun to lose his temper with her. She immediately burst into tears of grievance, "Okay, if the master says to return it, I'll return it. Anyway, I'm just a lowly person, how can I have a say?"

After saying this, a hint of hatred flashed in Old Gao's eyes.

Hua's family was a wealthy business family, and she had given so many things as a dowry. If she returned them, her private treasury would be reduced by more than half, and she really couldn't bear to do so.

But since this bastard Shu Ming insisted on taking back the dowry, she had to give it to him even if she didn't want to.

Shu De turned his head to look at Wu Su'e and asked in a deep voice: "Wu, have you really thought it through? Do you want to divorce me?"

No matter what, Wu was his first wife, and no man would want his things to be out of his control, even if it was something he didn't like.

"Of course," Wu Su'e smiled faintly, "There is no greater sorrow than a dead heart. I had this idea thirty years ago, but I never had the courage to realize it until my beloved grandson grew up. He gave me the courage to jump out of the quagmire and used the money he earned to buy this five-story house and give me a place to live. Yes, Shu Deyun, I want to divorce you!"

Shu Deyun looked at Wu Su'e and suddenly found that she had become a lot younger, even younger and more beautiful than Wan'er looked. Her whole body exuded a gentle and joyful aura, and she was no longer the gloomy old lady.

Gao Xinwan saw that Shu Deyun's eyes were always on Wu Su'e, her face changed slightly, and she immediately leaned closer to Shu Deyun, then looked at Wu Su'e with a proud and provocative look.

As long as the yellow-faced woman surnamed Wu divorces Shu Deyun, Gao Xinwan will be the legitimate mother of the Shu family!

Humph, in this life, she still wins!

She is the legitimate mother of the Shu family, the biological mother of the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. Her grandson is outstanding and her granddaughter is smart and clever.

And Wu was just an old and ugly divorced woman who was unwanted by everyone!

Moreover, Wu's grandson was still a good-for-nothing dandy, and her granddaughter... although her ugly face had been cured now, she married a country bumpkin. All of these really brought honor to Wu.

Wu Su'e ignored Gao Xinwan's pretense and still had a satisfied smile on her face.

Wu Su'e is not a woman who cannot live without a man, and she simply disdains to compete with Gao for the scumbag.

Shu Deyun finally retracted his gaze and said coldly: "Okay, I'll help you. If you regret it in the future, don't come to me. I won't even look at you!"

Wu Su'e smiled sarcastically: "Don't worry, this is the result of my praying to Buddha day and night, and I cherish it very much. To tell you the truth, I will never regret it in this life, the next life, or the rest of my life. I only regret that I didn't recognize your true face earlier and didn't divorce you earlier."

Shu Deyun was choked and felt his chest stagnate. To hide his embarrassment, he coughed and looked at Shu Mingzong. He said in a cold voice: "I have signed the divorce agreement and the severance agreement. From now on, you, Shu Mingzong, Shu Mingzheng and the Shu family will no longer have any relationship. I hope you will not do anything in the name of the Shu family!"

Shu Mingzong laughed happily and said, "Oh, you don't need to emphasize this. I will change my last name to Hua immediately, following my mother's last name. From now on, I will be called Hua Mingzong and my sister will be called Hua Mingzheng. Your Shu family is not a famous family. Is it worth it for me to use your name?"

"Hmph! Arrogant!" Shu Deyun's face darkened again. He looked at Shu Mingzong deeply, then picked up the pen, signed, and pressed his fingerprints.

Gao Xinwan was very excited when she saw Shu Deyun signing and putting his fingerprints on the divorce agreement and the severance agreement.

Shu Shaoxuan and Shu Linglong also had happy expressions on their faces.

Both the divorce agreement and the severance agreement were made in triplicate, with each party taking one copy and the remaining copy being kept at the government office for record.

Shu Mingzong blew the ink dry and carefully put it away, planning to go to the government office to stamp it with the official seal later.

Wu Su'e was also very excited. After so many years, she finally got out of that quagmire. From then on, she was a free person. In the few years left for her, having a sensible and filial granddaughter was enough.

"Hey! Shu Deyun, you have three days to deliver my mother's dowry, otherwise this book will be sold immediately! Okay, get out of my doorstep quickly, and don't come to provoke me unless you have something to do, otherwise I will beat you up every time I see you! Get out! Get out!" Shu Mingzong raised his fist to the Shu family and their group.

Shu Shaoxuan glared at Shu Mingzong and said angrily, "Shu Mingzong, don't be too proud. Sooner or later, you will regret everything you did today!"

"Whether I will regret it or not is not your business to worry about. Get out of here! The sight of you makes me sick!" Shu Mingzong pretended to kick forward.

Shu Deyun took one last look at Wu Su'e, then turned to the Shu family and said, "Let's go!"

Gao, Shu Shaoxuan and Su Linglong looked at each other, with joy flashing in their eyes.

After the Shu family left, Shu Mingzong and Wu immediately took the divorce agreement to the government office to file it and have it stamped with the official seal.

Both the grandparents and the grandchildren were very happy, and in the evening they treated everyone to a big dinner at Tianxianglou, the largest restaurant in the imperial capital.
