Dugu Jingyao is reborn as Li Chu's beloved

Soon, the Xin Mansion's carriage stopped steadily at the gate of the Shi Mansion. Seeing this, the servant at the gate quickly delivered the news to Madam Shi.

When Mrs. Shi was still struggling with what decision to make in this matter, she heard the news that Mrs. Xin was coming to visit, and her frown immediately relaxed a lot.

She hurried out to greet them, but Mrs. Xin was also worried about her daughter, so she walked quickly.

Mrs. Shi had just been discharged from the hospital when she ran into Mrs. Xin. She asked, "Mother, why are you here?"

Madam Xin said, "Girl, how long has it been since you came home? Can't I come and see you when I miss you?"

Mrs. Shi repeatedly took Mrs. Xin's arm and said, "Of course, my daughter misses you too. Come, come and sit in my yard!"

Caiyun was also very considerate and asked someone to prepare refreshments.

Because she was her own mother, Madam Shi took Madam Xin directly to her bedroom. After the two of them sat down and everything was served, Madam Xin gave the maid beside her a look.

The maid understood, closed the door, and quietly retreated. Caiyun and the others naturally also retreated, under the pretext of having a private conversation between mother and daughter.

Madam Xin couldn't wait to ask, "Rou'er, did your uncle bully you?"

Hearing this, Mrs. Shi's smile froze for a moment, then she smiled again and said, "How dare he bully me?"

Seeing her daughter still being stubborn, Madam Xin repeated what Caiyun had said to her, "Father and Mother both know that my son-in-law has a mistress outside and is even trying to do that. Tell me what you think."

Mrs. Shi didn't say anything, but she was wondering in her heart who was so naive?

So Madam Shi repeated to Madam Xin the method Madam Guo had just told her, and then said, "It's just that I haven't figured out how to do it yet."

Madam Xin asked, "Do you still want to live with him and let him bring his mistress into the house?"

Madam Shi said, "How is that possible? He'll definitely have to choose between me and that bitch! But, isn't there also the Princess Guangping? If Shi Siming agrees to Princess Guangping's request, then he will definitely divorce me."

Madam Xin understood what her daughter meant. She was still reluctant to part with Shi Siming! So she said, "Then how about this? Let's secretly rescue Princess Guangping and return her to Prince Guangping. That way, his affair will most likely not begin. Then you can catch the adulterer. Then see what the son-in-law thinks. If he still cares about you, he will naturally not have anything to do with that mistress anymore. If he doesn't care, then divorce and you can go home. We can still support you and your two children."

Hearing this, Madam Shi felt warm in her heart. She said, "Mother, I understand. How about this? After he comes back today, I will give him one last chance to see what he chooses. Will he agree to Princess Guangping's request? If he agrees, then I will show no mercy and report this matter directly to Prince Guangping and Princess Yunnan. Just save me and my two children. If he still has a conscience, then I will protect the entire Shi Mansion and quietly rescue Princess Guangping. What do you think?"

Mrs. Xin was very happy. Now her daughter was independent-minded. So she said, "Okay, then Dad and Mom will wait for your news."

Mrs. Shi nodded lightly, and then the two of them turned to talk about other topics. Mrs. Xin left only when Shi Siming came back.

After dinner that evening, Madam Shi said, "Master, I'm a little full. Why don't you accompany me for a walk in the garden?"

Shi Siming had been thinking about discussing the divorce with Madam Shi, so naturally he would grant her request. He nodded and said, "Okay, then I will accompany Madam Shi to help her digest her food."

After that, the two of them walked out together. To outsiders, they seemed to be in love, but in fact, they each had their own thoughts.

The two chatted about random things until Mrs. Shi was tired and said, "Master, I am a little tired."

Shi Siming immediately said, "Then let's go back!"

After returning, the two played a game of chess. Seeing that it was getting late, they washed up and prepared to rest.

Shi Siming was still trying to think of a suitable excuse when Madam Shi leaned against him and spoke first, "My dear, I had a dream during my nap. I dreamed that you no longer wanted me and wanted to divorce me."

Shi Siming thought, isn't this just like a pillow being delivered when you're sleepy? So he hugged Madam Shi and said, "Madam, you're worrying too much. We've been married for many years. How could I bear to divorce you? Even if it's a divorce, it's fake."

Madam Shi raised her head in disbelief, her beautiful eyes misty as she asked, "Could it be that my dream was real? Do you really want to divorce me?"

Shi Siming hurriedly tried to appease her, whispering in Madam Shi's ear, "This is what happened. An Lushan and I are dissatisfied with the current emperor's old age and incompetence, and the crown prince's cowardice and incompetence, so we want to..."

Mrs. Shi feigned surprise and asked, "Are you going to..."

Shi Siming nodded, indicating that this was the case. He then said, "I originally wanted to ask the Yunnan Palace for assistance, but Dugu Jingyao is the Guangping Prince's Consort. The Yunnan Prince would definitely not side with us, so I negotiated with them. Their condition was that if the matter was successful, Dugu Jingyao would be given the position of Empress."

Madam Shi still choked up a bit and said, "So you want to divorce me?"

Shi Siming soothed her, "Rou'er, don't worry. Although I'm divorcing you, it's only temporary. Even if they have meritorious service, their achievements will surpass their master's. As the master, I will sentence them to death and their entire family to death. Then she won't be able to become empress. Then I'll marry you back and make you my empress. What do you think, Rou'er?"

Hearing this, Mrs. Shi was actually a little shaken, but then she thought: What if this thing doesn't work out? What if it works out, but he can't get rid of Dugu Jingyao and can't marry me? Is she going to divorce him just like that? No, she wouldn't accept that! So she made her choice in her heart.

Shi Siming saw that his wife did not answer him, so he thought that she was unwilling, so he asked: "Rou'er, are you unwilling? If you think it is not good, then I will find another way to borrow troops."

Madam Shi said, "If they can really guarantee that this will happen, I can endure the temporary humiliation. I'm just afraid that you won't be able to get rid of the Yunnan Palace by then... Then I... I won't be..."

Shi Siming said firmly: "When the time comes, I will be the king, and they will have no choice but to bow down and submit to me!"

Mrs. Shi felt that he had chosen his great cause and given up on herself. Since this was the case, she became more determined to rescue Princess Guangping quietly and then catch the adulterer! So she said, "Then do as you say. I'm a little tired and will go to bed first."
