Zhang Wen and Yun Nianchu were surprised to find so many people outside. In the past, they would have been worried, but at this moment, they felt that these people had come for the best.

"Mother, are you really sure about this?"

Yun Nianchu looked at Zhang Wen with concern. She knew all too well the suffering her mother had endured over the years and had tried to persuade her more than once, but her mother had always endured it. Today, it seemed that her mother was really determined to burn her bridges...

“Nianchu, your mother has figured it out. Actually, I didn’t want to live like this for a long time. I originally planned to divorce your father after you and Chengze had settled down.”

That way, the impact on you would be minimized. But now they've gone even further; if they can target Chengze, they can target your marriage too.

Zhang Wen's expression was resolute. She had long since lost all attachment to this man; all she wanted was for her child to find a good home.

Now that she can't even do this much, why should she stay here any longer?

Yun Nianchu's eyes reddened unconsciously, her heart filled with guilt. She had never understood why her mother had to be so forbearing before, but now she realized that it was all for her sake.

"Mother, it is your daughter who has been a burden to you."

Zhang Wen smiled gently, "Silly child, you've suffered a lot of injustices over the years. In the end, it's all because your mother is useless."

"You are the best mother in the world!" Yun Nianchu said quickly.

Seeing Zhang Wen and Yun Nianchu leave, Yun Chengze didn't bother to say much to Yun Honglang. He just glanced at Xu He'an, who nodded to reassure him, and then he chased after them.

"Aunt, today's events are all my fault. I didn't expect..."

Yun Chengze's eyes showed guilt. He was indeed dissatisfied with his uncle's behavior of favoring his concubine over his wife. He had thought that he could take advantage of today's opportunity to not only completely eliminate Yun Xiwan's idea of ​​marrying him, but also make his uncle more wary and treat his aunt better.

However, he never expected things to escalate to this point, that his aunt would make such a choice.

Zhang Wen pulled Yun Chengze's hand and said, "Chengze, this is not your fault. It's all their fault. Don't take it to heart."

I merely used this incident to finally see their true colors. Rather than letting them keep pestering us with their slow, drawn-out tactics, it's better to go all in and cut ties completely.

Yun Chengze frowned; he knew very well that this matter was not so simple.

“Aunt, Uncle has always been domineering and tyrannical. If we divorce and he goes back, I’m afraid he will suffer injustice in the Zhang family.”

When his parents died, he should have been raised by his aunt if his uncle had taken him in. Moreover, the reason why his uncle could indulge Yun Xiaoniang so recklessly was because his aunt had no family to support her.

If she goes back now after the divorce, her uncle and the Zhang family will only think that her aunt has brought shame upon them; just imagining that scene is enough to make one understand.

"Actually, I've accumulated some savings over the years, and I even bought a small courtyard house elsewhere. After the divorce, I don't plan to go back to the Zhang family; I plan to live outside."

Zhang Wen looked calm, clearly having already considered it. "However, life outside will definitely not be as comfortable as it is at the Yun family, and there won't be as many people to serve you. You will have to suffer some grievances if you follow me."

Yun Chengze's eyes widened in shock. He hadn't expected his aunt to have planned all of this. He subconsciously looked at Yun Nianchu.

Yun Nianchu didn't care about any of that. "Mother, as long as I'm with you, I'll go anywhere."

I don't think the Yun family's life is any better; we might as well go out and live a carefree life on our own."

“Aunt, I will soon be entering the court as an official, and then I will have a salary. I will definitely be able to take good care of you and Nianchu.”

Yun Chengze's eyes were firm. Over the years, he had not been unprepared. He had long thought that if his uncle treated his aunt badly, he would take good care of her and never let her suffer any grievances. His food, clothing and daily necessities would never be worse than they were in the Yun family mansion!

Zhang Wen smiled and nodded, "Your aunt has always known you're successful."

……

Song Ruozhen is looking for shops with Song Jingshen. The Song family has acquired quite a few shops recently. Apart from some of them being rented out, the remaining shops are still unrented.

Therefore, she came up with some small business ideas on her own.

Ancient delicacies can never compare to modern ones, so after much thought, she chose fried chicken.

"Fifth Sister, is this the fried chicken you mentioned?"

Song Jingshen looked at the shop in front of him with curiosity. This was arranged by his fifth sister. However, he had never heard of fried chicken before and did not know where his fifth sister got the recipe from.

Song Ruozhen nodded with a faint smile, "You'll know once you try it. I'm sure it will become a popular snack throughout the entire capital!"

"Is it really that amazing?" Song Jingshen asked in surprise. "I'm really curious about what you're saying."

"Since it was suggested by Ruozhen, the taste must be good."

Suddenly, a magnetic voice rang out, and Chu Junting walked over with a smile.

When Song Jingshen saw Chu Junting, he was taken aback for a moment, a look of surprise flashing in his eyes. He quickly bowed respectfully and said, "Greetings, Your Highness, Prince Chu."

"Song Silang, there's no need to be so polite. I hope my sudden appearance hasn't disturbed you?" Chu Junting helped Song Jingshen up, his tone gentle and without the slightest airs.

Song Jing looked at the man in front of him with a sense of flattery and couldn't help but rub his eyes. He couldn't be seeing things, could he?

This is none other than the cold-faced Prince Chu Junting!

Normally, anyone who sees him would treat him with utmost respect.

However, he is now not only helping him up, but also being so polite to him. It's like a dream!

Song Ruozhen was already surprised to see Chu Junting appear, but seeing his attitude towards Song Jingshen made her even more astonished. This gentle and welcoming demeanor... was this really Chu Junting?

"No, no." Song Jingshen shook his head repeatedly. "It is truly my honor to have the opportunity to speak with His Highness Prince Chu."

"Just call me Junting from now on, no need to be so formal," Chu Junting said with a smile.

Song Jingshen was completely bewildered. What was his status? What was the status of the King of Chu? What right did he have to address the King of Chu by his given name?

"Ruozhen, is this your new shop? Fried chicken? This is the first time I've ever heard of it."

Chu Junting walked to Song Ruozhen's side, his deep eyes revealing his admiration, and even his voice carried a hint of praise.

"It's a way of cooking chicken. These shops have been empty and unrented, which is a waste, so I thought I'd open a few snack shops," Song Ruozhen said.

"Oh? I wonder if I might have a taste?" Chu Junting asked with a smile.

Song Ruozhen nodded slightly, "Fourth Brother is also curious. He can try it once this batch is ready."

After deciding to open a fried chicken shop, she developed a recipe. She had eaten a lot of delicious food in modern times, and she remembered some of the recipes clearly, which came in handy.

Song Jingshen then realized that the reason why the King of Chu was so approachable to him was entirely because of his fifth younger sister.

So... he's taken a liking to his own younger sister!

Could it be that I have a chance to become the King of Chu's brother-in-law?
