"If you hadn't been so self-righteous and listened to me from the beginning, we wouldn't have had to come to this."

Li Shu's tone was calm and her facial expression did not change at all, which made Li Yunzhi a little dazed for a moment.

The Xiaoshu in front of him reminded him of Azhi before her sudden death.

The whole person was calm and peaceful.

Even in front of children, he has lost his former energy.

But at that time he was still secretly rejoicing because Azhi must have noticed his betrayal and was secretly worried because she could not successfully complete the so-called strategy mission and leave their world as she wished.

It was not until he sent Lin Yihuan and her daughter away, and was happily thinking of spending the rest of his life to make up for Azhi and that Azhi would definitely forgive him, that Azhi suddenly collapsed and never woke up again. Only then did he realize that he seemed to have been deceived.

Azhi will not leave if the mission is successful, but will leave if it fails!

However, he searched secretly for many years like a madman, but he still couldn't find the person who told him that Azhi would soon leave their world because the mission was successfully completed, and he couldn't find a way to make Azhi come back!

When he came to his senses, the chubby, fair and tender little girl raised by Azhi had grown into a graceful young lady under the care of her brothers.

She is also well-behaved, sensible and considerate.

But the older she gets, the more she looks like Azhi.

Feeling regretful, he always subconsciously avoided her.

He was so relieved when the queen proposed to bring her to the palace to educate her personally on the grounds that she was about to be spoiled by her brothers.

A few years later, not long after Xiaoshu returned home, the emperor betrothed her to Ning Jin, who shared the same feelings with her.

Out of guilt, he tried his best to make amends and accompany Xiaoshu during the period before she got married.

It was also during that time that he discovered that Xiaoshu and Azhi were actually completely different.

Although Azhi appears weak and easy to control, she is actually independent, tough, and decisive, and has unfathomable martial arts skills.

However, Xiaoshu was overprotected by her brothers over the years, and she was weak from the inside out. She was extremely dependent on him, an incompetent father, and her brothers who only knew how to spoil her.

And it was because he was certain that Xiaoshu, who was extremely dependent on and admired them, would not easily turn against them no matter how they ignored and hurt her, that he chose to stand on Xie Yu's side without hesitation!

However, just like when he betrayed Azhi in order to keep her, things did not develop as he expected!

I'm afraid that even if Azhi really comes back, Xiaoshu won't reconcile with them so easily...

Thinking of this, Li Yunzhi finally had to face up to the problem that he had been reluctant to think about in depth for the past few months.

Without caring about Yin Wanyu's presence, he blurted out, "You're so determined to sever ties with us, not because of what happened over the past year, but because you know something that hasn't happened yet, right?"

Not only had he already thought of this, but Jin'er and Yan'er had also mentioned it to him several times in a subtle way.

But he never dared to think too deeply about it.

He was afraid that if he thought about it carefully, he would come to the conclusion that the thing he had been stubbornly insisting on for so many years was completely wrong from the beginning!

In response to his question, Li Shu calmly asked, "Is this what you want to talk to me about? You want to know why I suddenly changed so much?"

Li Yunzhi tightened his hands, and the words that Li Yan had not finished speaking immediately rang in his ears.

Yan'er actually came right.

Xiaoshu actually guessed what he wanted to talk to her about!

But how could Xiaoshu guess it?

It is impossible for her to know the existence of the system, and even more impossible for her to know that the chess princess possesses the system!

At this time, Li Xing, who was the last one to finish reading the letter of severance, came over and pressed his fingerprint on it first. He said to Li Shu, "That's right. Father has come to you several times and wants to have a good talk with you just to clarify that point. If you can tell me the truth, father will help you and Ning Jin reconcile."

Li Shu's calm face finally showed some emotion.

She didn't expect Li Yunzhi to use this as a bargaining chip.

And although she had enough patience to wait for the prince to help her divorce in the future, she could not help but be moved in an instant.

She really wanted to get rid of her identity as Ning Shizi's wife as soon as possible!

I also want to leave Dingbei Marquis Mansion as soon as possible!

But she still thought calmly for a while, then looked into Li Yunzhi's eyes and said, "I can tell you, but I need to get the divorce papers first."

"You don't trust me that much?"

"We're both on the same page. After all, if you trust me, you can prepare the divorce papers and come talk to me later."

"..."

Li Yunzhi was speechless for a moment.

It’s not that he doesn’t trust Xiaoshu.

He just wanted to be more cautious.

And on the premise of finding out what happened to Xiaoshu, although the emperor would definitely allow Xiaoshu to divorce Ning Jin, he wanted to avoid taking that step if possible.

After all, Ning Jin's love for Xiaoshu is unmatched.

Apart from them and their son, no one in this world loves Xiaoshu more than Ning Jin.

When Xiaoshu finds out in the future that Ning Jin was controlled by Xie Yu's system from beginning to end, she will definitely regret it!

However, now that things have come to this, he could only say, "Then wait until I go to the Emperor to ask for your and Ning Jin's divorce letter, and then I'll go to the Dingbei Marquis' Mansion to have a proper talk with you."

Li Shu nodded, looked at the broken letter and said, "Grandma's time is precious. Don't waste any more time. Press your fingerprints quickly."

Li Yunzhi frowned and hesitated for a moment, then stood up, pressed his handprint and left.

Then there is Li Shen.

After he pressed his fingerprint on the letter of severance, he looked at Li Shu for a long time, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

In the end, he was dragged away by Li Xing.

Li Jin and Li Yan hardly even looked at Li Shu, they just pressed their fingerprints and left.

After Li Shu also pressed her fingerprints on it, Yaofang said to her with a distressed look on her face: "Wait until Miss gets the divorce papers, take them and this letter of severance to the Ministry of Revenue to leave the Ning family and set up your own household."

Li Shu nodded, carefully folded the letter of severance and put it away.

Yaofang added, "I just wonder if General Li can successfully obtain the divorce agreement between the young lady and Prince Ning from the emperor."

In response, Yin Wanyu said, "We can definitely get it, but if Ning Jin doesn't want to, the Emperor will directly take charge of Dingbei Marquis Mansion. He may have a backup plan. Ah Li, you must be prepared."

"Ok!"

Li Shu nodded in agreement, having already made up her mind.

Then she got up and went to the window and looked downstairs.

It won't be long before Li Yunzhi hands her the divorce papers.

This made her feel excited for the first time in a long time.

At this moment, on a carriage that was leaving Peacock Terrace downstairs, Li Xing lowered his voice and said to the troubled Li Shen, "Blood ties can't be severed with a letter of severance. When mother returns, she will definitely make Xiaoshu reconcile with us!"

His tone was firm, full of anticipation and excitement, but Li Shen asked in a muffled voice, "What if mother doesn't come back?"

Li Xing was silent for a moment, then turned to ask Li Yunzhi, "Father, will Mother definitely be able to come back?"
