The March sunshine penetrated the clouds like a fine thread and gently fell into the flower hall of the Zuo Xiang Mansion, adding a touch of gentle warmth to this originally solemn and dignified place.

Outside the flower hall, spring is in the air, with peach and apricot blossoms blooming and petals dancing in the wind. However, inside the flower hall, the atmosphere is unusually solemn.

The left prime minister, Chu Yichen, was dressed in gorgeous official uniform, his brows revealing a hint of fatigue and helplessness.

He sat in the main seat, his eyes fixed on his wife, Lu Xueying, sitting opposite him. His voice trembled slightly, with a hint of disbelief.

"Madam...what did you just say? You want to go back to the Grand Tutor's Mansion? You will never set foot in the Left Prime Minister's Mansion again? Do you know what you are saying?"

Lu Xueying, dressed in simple and elegant clothes, looked particularly out of place in this magnificent flower hall, but it also highlighted her cold temperament.

She raised her chin slightly, looked at Chu Yichen without hesitation, and said in a clear and decisive voice: "Of course you know what I'm talking about.

When we got married, you promised me solemnly that you would stay with me forever and make me the happiest woman in the world.

However, reality slapped me hard in the face. Under your mother's scheme, you took her family members as concubines, and I chose to endure and forgive.

But now, you are going to take another concubine. How can I believe in your promise again? My heart has completely died after your repeated betrayals. "

At this point, Lu Xueying's eyes were slightly red, but she tried hard not to let the tears fall, and continued: "Either we divorce, and from now on you and I will go our separate ways; or we will go to the government to sever our relationship completely."

The old lady sat aside with a stern expression, her eyes revealing her dissatisfaction and disdain towards Lu Xueying.

She patted the armrest of the chair lightly, with a bit of contempt in her tone: "Ms. Lu, since ancient times, it is normal for men to have three wives and four concubines. Why are you so jealous?

As the wife of the Left Prime Minister, you should be tolerant and not cause unrest in the family because of your own selfishness."

Chu Yichen felt mixed emotions when he heard this. He knew that although his mother's words made sense, they could not cover up his own mistakes.

He looked at Lu Xueying, his eyes full of pleading and reluctance: "Madam... have you really thought it through?

If you divorce me, my children will no longer be able to stay in the Zuo Xiang Mansion, and they will no longer have any relationship with the Zuo Xiang Mansion. Do you really have the heart to let them lose this honor and protection?"

Hearing this, Lu Xueying's lips curled up into a bitter smile. She shook her head, with a hint of determination and relief in her voice.

"I've thought about it. Instead of wasting the rest of my life in this heartless and heartless mansion, it's better for me to live the rest of my life freely and at ease.

My children are all smart and capable. They do not need to rely on the reputation of the Left Prime Minister's Mansion for support.

I believe that no matter where they are, they can make a name for themselves through their own efforts.

Moreover, my Taifu Mansion is not inferior to your Zuo Xiang Mansion. On the contrary, it is much more noble than your Zuo Xiang Mansion."

Chu Yichen felt heartbroken upon hearing this. He stood up, slowly walked to Lu Xueying, and clenched his fists.

He seemed to be trying hard to control his emotions, and whispered softly, "Madam, I know... I broke my promise and I let you down.

But I really can't live without you. Our son is already sixteen years old and our daughter is thirteen years old.

They are about to face an important stage in their lives and need our company and guidance. Moreover, their two sons are about to get married. If we divorce at this time, what a huge impact it will have on their future!"
