"To speak ill of the prince is a grave sin."

"I don't know whether the prince likes Shushu, but Shushu is my sweetheart. I don't really want others to insult her, even if Doctor Zheng is Shushu's father."

"Furthermore, in terms of official position, Shushu's rank is higher than Doctor Zheng. Does Doctor Zheng want to offend his superior?" Qi Linglang asked with a smile.

Zheng Shu's father didn't know how to answer her question.

But her mother looked at the two people's clasped hands and exclaimed: "You?"

Qi Linglang looked at her frankly and said politely, "Please rest assured, auntie, Linglang will accompany Shushu for the rest of her life."

"Shushu you..." She looked at Zheng Shu with a hint of disapproval in her eyes.

Qi Linglang's family background and social status are indeed higher than Zheng Shu's, but her grandfather once attempted to rebel and was later forced to retire. Although her aunt is an important official in the court, comparable to a vice-prime minister, the Supervisory Council is not a clean place after all.

Many officials who claim to be clean officials would rather not associate with them.

Unfortunately, Zheng Shu's father claimed to be one of the upright people and had always followed the Shangshu Ling. However, his behavior was not as good as that of the Shangshu Ling.

Zheng Shu seemed to have recovered a little.

She looked at her mother and said, "Mother, I am an adult now and can live on my own. His Highness has given me a mansion. I know you have had a hard time in the mansion. Would you be willing to live with me?"

"Rebellious girl! Stop talking nonsense. Your mother is the mistress of a family. How can you say that she has to work hard?"

Zheng Shu ignored him and just looked at his mother.

She had heard her mother talk about too many sufferings since she was a child. In the past, she was not favored because she was not a boy, and later because she was old and ugly. Although she was the mistress, she was still bullied by her father in every way.

Zheng Shu was not someone who would keep these things in mind. She felt that part of her mother's suffering was her own fault.

But it sounded too ruthless and cold to say this, so Zheng Shu never said it, but she had her own thoughts in her mind.

Now she wants to leave the Zheng family, and she only has some affection for her mother. Everyone else is insignificant to her.

Neither the mother nor the daughter paid any attention to the head of the family. He felt bored for a moment and stopped talking.

What's more, he was also afraid of Qi Linglang who was standing next to him.

"Mother, you don't need to think about anything else. Just answer me, do you still want to be the mistress of the Zheng family? Or do you want to go out with your daughter to start your own business and help her take care of the mansion? If you don't want to be busy anymore, you can just listen to music and appreciate flowers every day."

This day sounds really exciting.

Many people from the mansion came to watch the fun.

Zheng Shu's sisters and brothers also came, and of course their mother was there too.

"If you dare to go out, I will divorce you!"

Zheng Shu saw her mother glance at her father and said softly, "Mother, don't worry about this. Mother has worked hard for the Zheng family over the years and has done nothing wrong. If you are worried about ruining your reputation, I can ask someone to file a divorce lawsuit for you."

"A father cannot divorce his wife without cause."

The law of divorcing a wife was not completely abolished, but a law of divorcing a husband was added.

The party who can divorce can only be the one who is seeking marriage, but the other party cannot be divorced without reason.

There must be sufficient evidence to prove that the other party is seriously at fault.

But if the relationship between the two parties has broken down, they can divorce.

There is no cooling-off period. If the two parties have reached an agreement through negotiation, they can just take the divorce agreement to the county government to register. If they have not reached an agreement through negotiation, they can still file a lawsuit and the county government will mediate.

The mother, who was still hesitant, heard her daughter's words and said anxiously, "Is it really possible?"

"Okay." Qi Linglang also nodded.

Zheng Shu's mother had been in poor health and had always felt that she had no son and no one to rely on. Now her daughter had a higher official position than her husband.

After weighing the pros and cons, she decided to leave with her daughter.

"Since father has disregarded my daughter's wishes, I will no longer have any contact with the Zheng family in the future. However, I will repay my father for his kindness in raising me over the years, and I will return part of the money on time in the future."

She said it resolutely and did it resolutely. No matter how Zheng Shu's father scolded her, the mother and daughter still left.

Outside the Zheng Mansion, Zheng Shu looked at the guard who had been following her: "Please lead the way."

"Please come in, young lady." The guards invited the three to get on the carriage. Qi Linglang and Zheng Shu sat on one side, and Zheng Shu's mother sat on the other side.

As soon as she got on the carriage, Zheng Shu couldn't help but throw herself into Qi Linglang's arms. She was so nervous that a thin layer of sweat appeared on her forehead.

Qi Linglang patted her back gently: "It's okay, it's okay, don't be nervous."

Mother Zheng watched Qi Linglang gently coaxing her daughter, and suddenly realized that she seemed to have never cared about her daughter so much.

All these years, she had been thinking about how to have a son and how to keep her husband's favor, and had never paid serious attention to her daughter.

"Did I do well today?" Zheng Shu completely ignored her mother who was still in the carriage and looked at Qi Linglang sweetly.

Qi Linglang nodded: "Excellent."

"But I'm so nervous." Zheng Shu was a little embarrassed.

“I can see that.” She was almost like a person being pulled out of the water, how could I not see that she was nervous.

Zheng Shu didn't say anything to her mother the whole time. Her mother wanted to ask something, but Zheng Shu didn't intend to explain it to her.

I saw that the atmosphere between the two of them had improved a little.

Zheng Shu's mother finally spoke up: "Are you two serious?"

Hearing the question, Zheng Shu looked at her in confusion: "Why is it not true?"

"Then, Shushu, you and the prince?" After all, this is still the prince's carriage, and the guards are also the prince's men. Is there no truth in the rumors?

"The prince values ​​talents. Unlike some people who are blind and cannot see Shushu's strengths. Shushu is a rare talent to both the prince and Tianqi. What's wrong with the prince sending someone to protect her?" Qi Linglang said coldly.

Although she is Zheng Shu's mother and is now willing to break with the Zheng family, both Zheng Shu and Qi Linglang know that she is not doing this for Zheng Shu, but for herself.

When Zheng's mother heard her words, she felt embarrassed.

"Young Lady is here." The guard's voice came from outside the carriage.

Qi Linglang led Zheng Shu out of the carriage.

This house was prepared for Zheng Shu by Wen Zhimiao in advance. The yard is not big, but it is more than enough for her and her mother to live in. The quiet environment is also suitable for Zheng Shu to read and study.

Wen Zhimiao had been prepared before. She had thought that if Zheng Shu couldn't make up his mind, she would help him. In the end, everything went much more smoothly than Wen Zhimiao had expected.

Mother Zheng was also very satisfied when she looked at the yard.

There were not many servants in the yard, but they were all very smart. There was also a middle-aged woman who looked very friendly. When she saw Zheng Shu coming down, she immediately went up to greet him.
