Chapter 11 Separation

“Yuwan, there’s no need to be so anxious!” Wei Shi hurriedly said, thinking there was still room for maneuver: “Shaoyu definitely didn’t do it on purpose. The child in your belly is his legitimate child! How could he not want it?”

Turning to pull An Shaoyu, she said, “Shaoyu, say something!”

Regardless of how anxious his mother was, An Shaoyu remained unmoved, standing there in silence.

How could he say anything? Although he indeed didn’t want to harm his own child, nor did he harm his child, but to make the people of the Shu family think so was the only way to make Shu Yuwan determined to separate from him! However, why did Shu Yuwan seem more eager to separate from him than he was?

An Shaoyu shook his head gently, dispelling these thoughts. The most important thing now was to seize this opportunity to finalize the matter of separation. So, he continued to act stubborn and unyielding.

Madam Shu looked at An Shaoyu’s stubborn appearance. This was the son-in-law she had personally chosen! She thought he would live harmoniously with Yuwan for a lifetime!

Unfortunately, this An Shaoyu was really not worthy of entrusting her daughter to!

“Look, for the sake of a merchant’s daughter, he doesn’t even want his legitimate children, let alone his legitimate wife!” Madam Shu looked at Wei Shi, somewhat desolately.

Wei Shi couldn’t face Madam Shu. The two families were supposed to be in-laws because of their good relationship with Madam Shu. Both were branches of the Wei Shi family, and their relationship had always been good. When they discussed the marriage, she praised her son so much, but now she felt like she had been slapped in the face. She felt like she had lit a fire in her heart, but had nowhere to burn it.

“Send someone back to the mansion, get the list of the young lady’s dowry, compare it with what’s here, and today, we will sort out the young lady’s dowry and take it away. If it’s not finished, continue sorting through the night, not a moment’s delay!” Madam Shu instructed the maid Lu Yi behind her.

Lu Yi replied loudly, “Yes, this servant will go now!”

The people in the Anding Marquis Mansion all had unpleasant expressions.

However, Shu Yuwan felt very relieved. Her mother’s efficiency made her feel at ease, and she hoped everything would be done as soon as possible!

Anding Master, Mr. Shu, and Shu Yuwan’s two brothers were in the outer room, listening to the commotion inside, but none of them spoke.

When Lu Yi came out, Anding Master sighed and said, “Mr. Shu, my son has no manners. I’m really sorry about this!”

“Just that the child in Yuwan’s belly is ultimately the legitimate offspring of our Anding Mansion. If it’s a boy, it’s better to send him back to the Anding Marquis Mansion for safety! Raising him in the Shu family is not appropriate after all.”

The Shu attendant’s expression remained unchanged: “Let’s discuss this matter later. It’s still early now.”

Anding Master nodded and added, “Mr. Shu, I feel deeply guilty. That unfilial son has already posted notices, stating that the separation was his own fault. Our Anding Marquis Mansion is also willing to clarify for Yuwan when needed, hoping to minimize the impact on her as much as possible. I also hope that our two families can continue to interact frequently and not sever the relationship between the two mansions.”

Shu Yu Cheng, at his father’s side, coldly snorted softly, feeling very resentful. His sister was harmed like this, and he was still talking about the relationship between the two families. This Anding Master really had a thick skin!

The Shu attendant smiled faintly and said, “For a pregnant woman returning home after separation, her reputation may not be as important as it is in the inner chambers. Nevertheless, I thank Master for his kind intentions.”

Anding Master felt a bit embarrassed but continued, “In any case, Yuwan is still carrying the offspring of the Anding Marquis Mansion. If there is any need, Brother Shu, feel free to ask. Our Anding Marquis Mansion will never decline!”

“Of course, Master, rest assured.”

After sitting for a while, the maid next to Madam Shu came out and said to the Shu attendant, “Sir, Madam said that everything is ready on Miss’s side. We can return to the mansion now!”

“Alright.” The Shu attendant replied, then turned to Anding An Shaoyud said, “Master, we will take our leave first.”

Anding Master, feeling awkward, politely escorted them to the door.

Shu Yuwan followed Madam Shu onto the Shu family’s carriage, only bringing Qing He and some daily necessities. Qing Dai and Mother Zhao stayed behind, waiting for the steward sent by the Shu family to inventory her dowry before returning to the Shu family.

On the carriage, Madam Shu cushioned Shu Yuwan with a soft pad, allowing her to half-lie down. She didn’t mention anything about the Anding Marquis Mansion along the way, only picking some happy things to tell her.

Watching her mother’s careful demeanor, Shu Yuwan felt both heartbroken and amused. Her mother probably thought she was extremely heartbroken now, but she was actually feeling happy. Reaching this point meant she wouldn’t walk the same old path from her past life.

An Shaoyu, who was now with her, didn’t really matter to her anymore.
