ave anything for tomorrow."Hearing this, Qiujing withdrew her hand."Chunlan, why did you go out all day and not come back I was so hungry at home."Did you eat yetAutumn Chrysanthemum, only now realize...“I thought Father always looked down on these two children. I didn't expect that you had already made such thorough preparations for Tai Wu.”

"It was my daughter who misjudged things, blaming her father wrongly."

Yuan Buyu looked at his daughter's smiling face, "Are you feeling better now"

"Hmm." She nodded, but her smile didn't last long.

But, Fang Jinshui is the daughter-in-law of Pingchuan's former wife. She probably won't come to treat Taiwu easily.

"Father, unbeknownst to you, Tai Wu became like this because of Fang Jinxiu!"

When Yuan Buyu heard the name Fang Jinshu, he knew who she was.

The woman who stole the show at Your Majesty's banquet was unforgettable.

"Don't worry about bringing her over for Tai Wu to treat. Father has a way of handling things."

"But the most pressing issue right now is what's going on between you and Zong Pingchuan."

As soon as someone mentioned Yuan Xiangli, he snorted heavily.

"What's so difficult about this Before we got married, he clearly said his wife and children had died in the mountains. He dared to deceive me for over ten years and put me in such a dire situation. Today, I must divorce him!"

Yuan Xiangli had thought her father would definitely be on her side, but he unexpectedly spoke out in strong opposition.

"No."

"You two are not yet allowed to divorce."

Yuan Xiangli raised an eyebrow in surprise, "Why"

"Zong Pingchuan let his daughter suffer such a great grievance, could it be that you still want me to continue living under the same roof as him"

She recalled the insults Fang Jinshi had hurled at her in Jinxiu Mountain Villa, and gritted her teeth as she asked.

"Could it be that Father truly intends for me to be demoted from a wife to a concubine"

Yuan Buyu glanced at her and reminded.

"Your Majesty had already stripped you of your position as rightful wife. You are now simply a concubine to Zong Pingchuan."

Yuan Xiangli was taken aback. She had completely forgotten about this.

"How could it be the same There's only me, a female mistress, in Zong Pingchuan's backyard. Whether I'm a wife or a concubine doesn't matter."

"In time, Your Majesty will forget this matter. I will sooner or later regain my position as your lawful wife."

But now that Mu's original wife has appeared, with her around, if I don't divorce Zong Pingchuan, I will always be inferior to her.

At that time, how could I possibly bear to stay in the capital What I would lose would not be just my daughter's face, but also the reputation of the Prime Minister's household.

"The daughter is unwilling!"

As the daughter of a high-ranking official, how could she possibly become someone's concubine

"That's why I said, you can't divorce yet," Yuan Buyu said, narrowing his eyes.

"As the daughter of Yuan Buyu, you initiated the divorce. This doesn't mean you're simply handing over your husband for nothing. Do you really think this will elevate your status in the capital"

"Not only can you not divorce Zong Pingchuan, but you must also get rid of that Mu family and let everyone in the capital know that you are the only mistress of the Zong family."

"Anyone who wants to fight you will end up like the Mu family."

In this war, you thought you were fighting for Zong Pingchuan, but in reality, you were all fighting for your own face.

"Got it"

After hearing his father's words, Yuan Xiangli was greatly shaken.

Yuan Buyu regretted a little, he shouldn't have raised his only daughter too naive, letting her have no ability to cope with this situation.

If you encounter someone even slightly capable, you'll only be bullied into meekly running back to your mother's house.

Yuan Xiangli nodded with a look of learning.

"The daughter understood."

"No, I'm going back home now."

"What if that despicable Mu dares to take over while I'm away"

As soon as Yuan Xiangli thought of this, she became a little flustered. Seeing that her daughter was still restless, Yuan Buyu shook her head helplessly.

There's no need to rush.

"You will naturally have to return to the Minister's Residence, but you cannot go alone."

"He absolutely has to come over and apologize to you. Please, just go back."

Yuan Xiangli was taken aback, in fact, she had been thinking the same thing.

After returning to the Prime Minister's residence, she didn't immediately write a divorce letter and send it back. She was waiting, to see if Zong Pingchuan would come looking for her.

If he comes, it means he still cares about her in his heart.

If he doesn't come, then this heartless wretch shouldn't come at all!

However, after her father's advice, she suddenly felt that she could have even better choices.

Besides, my father is right. Zongpingchuan was brought up by our Yuan family and has reached his current position thanks to us. How dare he abandon me and let that Mu woman enter the official residence as a wifeant nest with twigs."Sister-in-law, is Big Brother Shen really a martial arts master""Yes."But he.Chang He hesitated, not knowing how to express himself politely.That refers to the head."Brother Shen,...
