After returning to the room, Zhu Dongting felt even more depressed.

The matter of divorce was like a heavy mountain pressing on his heart, making him feel extremely painful and helpless.

At the same time, he gradually realized that his feelings for Si Zihua far exceeded his expectations.

That deep affection had already taken root deep in his heart without his realizing it.

After careful consideration, Zhu Dongting made up his mind to be honest with Si Zihua no matter what, or at least to tell him his true thoughts.

Thinking of this, he turned around without hesitation and walked back quickly.

"Mother, look how come my little brother is back again?" Zhu Lexin looked at Zhu Dongting who reappeared in surprise, his eyes full of confusion.

Zhu Lexin was stunned. It seemed like something was going to happen. "Mom, shall we go take a look too?"

As he said this, he pulled Mrs. Zhu along and followed.

Looking at the tightly closed door, Zhu Dongting finally mustered up the courage to walk forward and knocked gently on the door, "Princess, can we talk?"

When Si Zihua heard the voice, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, "Come in."

Zhu Dongting pushed open the door and went in, looking at the pastries on the table, which he had just brought over.

"Princess, I admit that I was dissatisfied with this marriage at first, even resisted it, and did a lot of stupid things."

Si Zihua was stunned and didn't understand what he meant by saying this.

Regardless of what she thought, Zhu Dongting continued, "I know that since you married me, both I and my family have caused the princess a lot of grievances."

"But after spending such a long time together, I found myself gradually falling in love with the princess. I know that I am not worthy of the princess, but I still can't help wanting to get close to her." Zhu Dongting's eyes were full of sincerity and affection.

After hearing these words, Si Zihua felt mixed emotions. She originally thought that Zhu Dongting had no feelings for her, but she didn't expect that he actually had such feelings for her.

"Princess, I don't want to divorce you. I am willing to change myself for you and work hard to become a better person. Please give me a chance, okay?" Zhu Dongting said earnestly.

Si Zihua stared at Zhu Dongting quietly, feeling an indescribable emotion in her heart.

However, at this moment, Zhu Lexin and Mrs. Zhu outside the door were stunned.

They seemed to be struck by a thunderbolt. What they had just heard was that the princess wanted a divorce!

This is absolutely not okay!

After they looked at each other tacitly, they pushed the door open and rushed in without hesitation.

This sudden change was like a whirlwind, scaring both people in the room.

Zhu Dongting's face suddenly became extremely gloomy, and he asked angrily: "Mother, what are you doing?"

In sharp contrast, Si Zihua seemed unusually calm, as if he was already accustomed to such scenes.

Zhu Lexin pointed at Si Zihua with a trembling finger, with a hint of astonishment and confusion in her voice: "You...what did you say? You want a divorce?"

Si Zihua raised his head slightly, looked at her expressionlessly, and answered firmly, "Yes."

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense, as if an invisible flame was burning.

Zhu Lexin and Mrs. Zhu widened their eyes, their faces filled with shock and confusion.

They could never have imagined that Si Zihua would make such a decisive request. Si Zihua stood there quietly, with a firm and calm look in his eyes, as if he was ready to face everything.

Zhu Lexin and Mrs. Zhu looked at each other in silence, their faces turned extremely ugly. They widened their eyes and looked at Si Zihua in disbelief.

Si Zihua took a deep breath and decided to make things clear. "Dongting, it's not that I'm heartless, it's just that there are too many unbridgeable gaps between us. Identity, status... all of this has doomed us to be unable to be together. Divorce is good for both you and me."

Zhu Dongting's eyes revealed pain and unwillingness, "I won't accept this! Princess, is there no chance for us?"

Si Zihua shook her head gently, "Don't be obsessed, Dongting. Let go, and let us each live our own lives."

"Why? You said we should get a divorce, so what have we done to you?"

Zhu Lexin also felt a little uncomfortable, and was a little reluctant to let her go, but he didn't know how to ask her to stay, nor did he know how to say a few soft words, and he was a little aggressive when he spoke.

"Yes, Princess, there are bound to be bumps and bruises when living together, right? You can't just divorce when things don't go as planned."

Mrs. Zhu also stepped forward to persuade her.

Si Zihua closed her eyes, tears streaming down her cheeks. "I'm sorry, I've made up my mind." Her tone was firm and unquestionable.

Zhu Dongting felt heartbroken. He knew that once Si Zihua made up her mind, it would be difficult to change it.

He looked at her silently, his eyes full of despair.

Seeing this, Zhu Lexin and Mrs. Zhu didn't know what to say. The room was silent, with only the sounds of four people breathing.

Finally, a heavy look appeared on Zhu Dongting's face, and he nodded slightly to show his agreement.

He said softly: "Okay, I respect your decision."

The voice was low and firm, as if carrying endless helplessness and sorrow.

After saying this, he slowly turned around, his steps seemed a little unsteady, as if he was carrying a heavy burden, and left the room with difficulty.

Si Zihua bit her lips tightly, trying hard not to let the tears fall.

However, when Zhu Dongting's figure disappeared from her sight, she could no longer suppress the surging emotions in her heart. Tears burst out like a dam breaking, and she burst into tears.

Divorce may be the best ending for both of you...

On the other side, Zhu Ming had just seen off Minister Hu and had no time to catch his breath when he saw Zhu Lexin running over in a hurry.

"Father, something bad has happened!"

Zhu Lexin's voice came from afar, with a hint of fear and anxiety. Before anyone got closer, she shouted at the top of her lungs.

Zhu Ming couldn't help but frown, feeling an inexplicable irritation in his heart.

She clenched her fists unconsciously, feeling a little itchy, as if she wanted to teach her daughter a lesson for not knowing her place.

Zhu Ming took a deep breath, trying to calm his inner discontent. He frowned and scolded, "How can you yell so loudly! Look at you, you are so flustered. How can you look like a lady from a noble family?"

He scolded her for a few words before asking, "What happened?"

Zhu Lexin shrank his neck in fear at his father's rebuke, but the anxiety in his eyes did not diminish.

She looked at Zhu Ming aggrievedly and whispered, "Father, the princess wants to divorce me!"

Zhu Ming's eyes widened in disbelief when he heard this, "What?"

Zhu Lexin's ears were almost deafened by the lioness' roar. He couldn't help but roll his eyes. How could such a loud shout be so disgraceful!
