The Jingzhao Yin glanced at Lord Zhu, then looked at Sun Che's handwriting on the document, nodded in understanding, took out his seal, and solemnly stamped the official seal on the document.

Only then did Mrs. Sun feel completely relieved.

Zhu Li returned to Sun's house, looking tired but determined.

She called the children over, gathered them in the room, and said softly, "Children, you don't have to worry about the past anymore. Today, your father and I have signed a divorce agreement and a severance agreement. From now on, you don't have to be implicated by the Sun family anymore."

When the children heard this, they looked at each other with mixed feelings.

Zhu Li looked at their complicated expressions and comforted them softly, "This is for your future. Now I will go to the Zhu family with you, and from now on you will be members of the Zhu family. This way, not only will your reputation be intact, but your future will not be affected by your father's mistakes."

Her eyes were firm, her voice was gentle but tough: "We will have our own lives in the Zhu family, and mother will live for you wholeheartedly."

The children saw that their mother had made up her mind. Although they were still reluctant, they also knew that she had made a difficult choice.

The eldest son whispered: "Don't worry, mother, we will work hard and will not let you down."

Upon hearing this, Julie smiled slightly, with both comfort and bitterness in her eyes.

The mother and son were packing their luggage, preparing to set off for Zhu's house.

At this moment, Madam Sun heard about the incident and rushed over with her people in anger. She stopped Zhu Li who was about to leave and asked her unhappily, "What are you doing? You married into the Sun family and you are a member of the Sun family for life! Where are you going with the children now? Do you think the Sun family is a place where you can come and go as you please?"

Zhu Li looked at Old Madam Sun, there was no fear in her eyes, but instead a hint of cold calmness.

She said calmly, "Madam, I am leaving today precisely because I have nothing to do with the Sun family anymore. You may not know that the master and I have divorced, and the children have also severed their ties. From today on, we have no relationship anymore."

Madam Sun was stunned when she heard this. Her face instantly turned pale and her eyes were filled with shock. "Divorce? How dare you...how dare you do such a rebellious thing! You are so bold! My son was just temporarily unhappy, and you took the opportunity to abandon him and leave. You even took my grandchildren away with you. Are you worthy of the Sun family?"

Her voice became increasingly sharp, and her eyes revealed a strong resentment. She wanted to use the word "morality" to firmly bind Julie.

She said in a cold voice: "Since you have married into our Sun family, you should devote your whole life to the Sun family. You are getting divorced now, how can this be? Even if you get divorced, as your mother-in-law, I have the right to let you stay here and honor me for the rest of your life!"

Julie felt no emotion at all when she heard these words full of moral blackmail.

She smiled coldly, looked directly at Old Madam Sun, and said in a calm but resolute voice: "Whether you accept it or not, the divorce agreement has been stamped with the official seal of Jingzhao Yin, and the severance of the relationship has also taken effect. From today on, I have no more ties with the Sun family, and the children are no longer descendants of the Sun family. In this case, you are no longer my mother-in-law, and I naturally don't need to stay in this family anymore."

Her eyes were firm, not moved by Madam Sun's anger at all. "I took the children away for their future. If you still have complaints, feel free to go to Jingzhao Yin to argue, but I, Zhu Li, will no longer be a member of the Sun family."

Madam Sun was so angry at her straightforward words that her eyes widened, her face turned pale, her body swayed, and she was about to fall down. She said in a trembling voice: "You...you heartless and ungrateful woman...you actually divorced and abandoned me, your mother-in-law...you really want to piss me off to death!"

Zhu Li watched coldly, without any guilt in her eyes: "The old lady has the protection of the Sun family, so there is no need for me to stay here and serve her."

Before she finished her words, Madam Sun's eyes went dark, her body went limp, and she fainted on the ground.

Several maids hurriedly supported her and shouted in panic: "The old lady has fainted! Go and get the Sixth Madam!"

The maids hurried to the sixth room of the Gu family and knocked on the door anxiously to pass on the message.

But the maid of the sixth room looked embarrassed, shook her head and whispered: "The sixth lady has been confined to her room and is not allowed to leave the room today."

The Zhu family officially stamped the government document to confirm the divorce and severance of the engagement between Zhu Li and Sun Che, and the people secretly arranged by Gu Nanyuan quickly spread the news.

The news that Zhu Li and the children returned to the Zhu family caused a huge stir in Beijing and soon became a hot topic among the people.

In teahouses and taverns, many people were talking about it, and some were even discussing Julie's choice with sighs and lamentations.

An old man sighed and shook his head and said, "Zhu Li is really cruel. She divorced her husband and returned to her parents' home with her child. Who would want to marry such a heartless woman?"

As soon as he finished speaking, someone next to him retorted: "Hey, you can't say that. Sun Che's crime is not small, and the divorce is a helpless move. Otherwise, the children's future will be completely ruined. As a mother, Zhu Li also considers the children carefully."

The tea drinker at the side agreed, "That's right. Sun Che has been sentenced to exile. Once the charges are filed, not only will his future be ruined, but the next generation will also be implicated. No matter how cruel Zhu Li's actions are, they are indeed for the sake of the children. Otherwise, which girl would dare to marry her son? Which academy would be willing to accept her son? She has opened a way for the children."

The topic was divided among the crowd, many people shook their heads in regret, while others expressed understanding, but regardless of whether they agreed or disagreed, the matter had already caused a sensation in the capital.

In the second room of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, the second wife was sitting in front of the window, gently fiddling with the teacup in her hand, with a somewhat relaxed look on her face.

Suddenly, Aunt Mei quietly walked into the room, with a hint of excitement on her face, and whispered in the ear of the Second Madam, "Madam, have you heard? Sun Che has now divorced Madam Sun, and Zhu Li has taken the children to the Zhu family. This matter has caused a lot of uproar, and the Zhu family does not want to have anything to do with the Sun family for the sake of their children's future."

The Second Madam was slightly startled, then her eyes flashed coldly, she raised her eyes and smiled faintly: "Divorce? This is really big news. It seems that the Sun family can't hold on after all. Does the Sixth Madam know about this?"

Madam Mei lowered her voice and sneered, "Don't worry, Madam. The Sixth Madam is now under house arrest. Even the servants in the mansion cannot report this to her. She is probably unaware of this humiliation. If she knew, she would be so angry that she would vomit blood! This is a good opportunity. You might as well take this opportunity to add fuel to her fire."

Upon hearing this, the second lady smiled coldly, with a sharp light in her eyes.

She gently put down the teacup and said slowly, "Sixth brother's wife was so shrewd and calculating, I never thought I would end up like this. Back then, for her own selfish desires, she dared to frame my brother Zhe with a false pregnancy, causing him to be exiled to the Gu family's hometown and suffer so much. She is simply a vicious person."

Recalling the scene where her son Zhe Ge'er was innocently harmed, the second wife was filled with anger.

The Sixth Lady pretended to be pregnant just to win favor from the Sixth Master, but she used the pregnancy as an excuse to slander her brother Zhe and force her to have a miscarriage.

At that time, the Sixth Madam wanted to use this opportunity to attack Gu Nanyuan, but she was afraid that it would involve too many people and attract the attention of the Duke of Zhenguo and his wife, so she had to push all the calculations to the Second House.

Thinking of this, the Second Madam sneered and said to Aunt Mei, "Since she is so heartless and ruthless, and deliberately trying to harm my brother Zhe, I will definitely not let go of this opportunity."

"Let's go to the courtyard of Room 6."
