Chapter 144 Wang Fei Seeks Divorce 2

Shu Shu Yuwan waited in the palace, and soon Qing Dai came in to report, “Your Highness, Wang Fei has arrived.”

“Please bring her in.”

Qing Dai escorted Wang Fei in, and Shu Shu Yuwan looked at her, seeing that Wang Fei looked well and didn’t seem to be facing any difficulties, nor was she as anxious as before.

“Your Highness.” Wang Fei greeted Shu Shu Yuwan with a bow.

Shu Shu Yuwan quickly helped her up and asked, “Godmother, what exactly happened? You have endured so much over the years, why suddenly seek a divorce?”

Wang Fei shook her head and smiled lightly, “Nothing happened. I just recently learned something and felt there was no need to endure it anymore.”

“What is it?” Shu Shu Yuwan asked curiously.

After Wang Fei finished speaking, Shu Shu Yuwan noticed that Wang Fei had dropped the title of “this concubine” and referred to herself as “I.”

Wang Fei looked at Shu Shu Yuwan and said with a smile, “You should also know that over the years, the relationship between Ning Wang and me has long been broken. Traditionally, noblewomen do not seek love but rather the prosperity of the family.”

“But for me, the royal family is already prosperous enough. Excess is harmful, and there is no need for me to contribute further to the family’s prosperity.”

“I did have feelings for Ning Wang in the past, but later, I suffered, collapsed, and despaired. I gave up hope, and I have been wanting to end this marriage for a long time. I endured it all for Shinzi, but now that Shinzi’s position is secure, I no longer want to endure it.”

Perplexed by her words, Shu Shu Yuwan furrowed her brow and straightforwardly said, “Godmother, forgive me for being direct. Although Ning Wang is not young, if he remarries and has more children, it is not impossible.”

Wang Fei firmly stated, “Rest assured, he will not have any more children!”

Upon hearing this, Shu Shu Yuwan pondered for a moment and looked at Wang Fei in disbelief, bluntly asking, “Mother-in-law, are you saying…?”

Wang Fei nodded ever so slightly.

Shu Shu Yuwan was extremely surprised. Was it really as she had thought?

Hesitating, she asked, “Does… does Ning Wang know?”

Wang Fei shook her head and sarcastically said, “Of course not. Initially, I thought that before I ended things, he had a child outside, but he didn’t dare mention divorce. It was only during a recent argument that I accidentally found out that the child he had been hiding was born in recent years, so it couldn’t be his!”

Shu Shu Yuwan was momentarily at a loss for words.

After a while, she said, “How do you know that Ning Wang has not taken care of himself?”

Wang Fei’s eyes showed indifference as she said, “It’s absolutely impossible.”

Shu Shu Yuwan fell silent, realizing that her mother-in-law had taken decisive action! Today’s news was quite overwhelming. Ning Wang actually had a child outside, and that child wasn’t his.

After organizing her thoughts, Shu Shu Yuwan smiled and said, “In that case, Mother-in-law, follow your heart.”

“However, as a royal daughter-in-law, seeking a divorce may not be easy.”

She then recounted the situation with the royal family members who had come to see the Emperor the previous day to Wang Fei.

Wang Fei had anticipated this and had already made up her mind. She said to Shu Shu Yuwan, “In the future, I will go to the academy you established to teach them.”

Shu Shu Yuwan’s eyes lit up.

Seeing her reaction, Wang Fei smiled and continued, “I can teach them to read and write.”

She said, “You don’t have to godmother, it’s enough recruit women from commoner families. There are noblewomen who have been forced into divorce and have nowhere to go. It’s not that they don’t exist, but most of them have no choice but to endure. If there are willing individuals, I will help you teach them. I can’t teach everything, but I can manage industries, teach etiquette, and arts like music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. In the future, if these people prove useful, you can also employ them.”

Shu Shu Yuwan and Wang Fei exchanged a glance and both smiled.

At this moment, Shu Shu Yuwan was starting to look forward to Wang Fei’s divorce.

They discussed the future plans for the academy for a while before bidding each other a reluctant farewell.

After Wang Fei left, the Emperor immediately sent someone to inquire about the situation.

Shu Shu Yuwan felt a bit awkward as she was supposed to advise Wang Fei, but she was no longer on the same side as the Emperor.

She informed the Emperor that Wang Fei was determined to seek a divorce and couldn’t be persuaded!

On the other hand, as soon as Wang Fei returned to Ning mansion, Shinzi and Chen Shiyi hurried over.

Shinzi was fine; he knew that his parents’ relationship had broken down and had no expectations from them. If his mother wanted a divorce, so be it. Whether they divorced or not, she was still his mother.

Chen Shiyi, on the other hand, was different. Upon hearing the news, she rushed over and asked anxiously, “Mother, what’s going on? Why are you doing this?”

Wang Fei looked lovingly at her son and daughter-in-law.

“Shinzi, Shingyi, don’t worry, it’s nothing serious. I’ve just had enough of staying in this mansion.”

Wang Fei looked outside with a hint of annoyance in her eyes.

“After I divorce your father, it won’t affect Shinzi’s position in the mansion. Shinzi’s position as the heir is unshakable. Whatever happens in the future, you will continue to live as you have been.”

Shinzi nodded and said, “I’m fine with it, Mother.”

He was about to leave with Chen Shiyi, but she insisted, “Son, you go ahead. I want to talk to Mother.”

Shinzi looked at Wang Fei, and she said, “Shinzi, you go first.”

“Alright.”

After exchanging greetings with the two, Shinzi left first.

Wang Fei looked at Chen Shiyi, who remained calm, bowed respectfully, and said, “Mother, I humbly ask you not to seek a divorce for the sake of the heir.”

The smile on Wang Fei’s face gradually faded.

Chen Shiyi didn’t back down and continued, “Mother, no matter what conflicts you have with Father, as long as you are still the Queen, it’s just a family matter. If you divorce Father, in the future, wherever the heir goes, people will look at him differently, and he will be treated differently by the royal family. Even if the daughter-in-law has children in the future, it will be the same.”

Wang Fei said calmly, “Why care about others’ opinions.”

Chen Shiyi’s voice was steady, “Mother, we all live in the world. How many people can truly not care about others’ opinions?”

Wang Fei looked at Chen Shiyi seriously.

This daughter-in-law had always been tactful and handled things gracefully since she came to Wang Fei. If she was concerned about her mother-in-law seeking a divorce, it was understandable, and Wang Fei had overlooked that.

Chen Shiyi allowed Wang Fei to look at her for a while before saying, “Mother, please think about it. I’ll take my leave now.”

Wang Fei nodded, and Chen Shiyi bowed before leaving.
