Chapter 143 Wang Fei Seeks Divorce 1

The Ninth Uncle of the Emperor was not very supportive. According to him, although the Empress was the mother of the nation, just like Wang Fei, she was ultimately from an external family. Matters concerning the dignity of the royal family should not involve her in their discussions.

However, after looking at the Emperor repeatedly, the old man’s eyes were almost twitching, but the Emperor remained unmoved.

Not wanting to offend the Emperor and the Empress over this trivial matter, he continued, “Your Majesty, the royal family cannot agree to this matter under any circumstances. Since the founding of the country, I have never heard of any royal blood  seeking a divorce! Wang Fei is too arrogant!”

Other members of the royal family also chimed in, all showing a righteous indignation.

If a woman made a mistake, divorcing her was only natural, but for a male member of the royal family, even if he made a mistake, it was not up to the woman to seek a divorce. Moreover, in their view, Ning Wang had not done anything wrong!

The Emperor calmly reassured, “Ninth Uncle, there’s no need to be anxious. I believe the Empress wouldn’t suddenly make such a request. If the Empress has any grievances, just comfort her, and the matter will be resolved.”

Thinking about the turmoil caused by Wang Fei in recent years, the Ninth Uncle’s brows furrowed, and he expressed his displeasure, “Humph, the behavior of Wang Fei in recent years, Your Majesty, you have also witnessed. It’s just that Ning Wang has been a bit too indulgent with women. It’s a natural thing for men to have multiple women, to expand the royal family, but in Wang Fei’s case, it has become a grave mistake. Up to now, Ning Wang has only one son, all because of Wang Fei’s jealousy!”

Upon hearing this, Shu Shu Yuwan lightly tugged at the corner of her lips in a mocking manner but remained silent.

The Ninth Uncle continued passionately, “If you ask me, we shouldn’t indulge Wang Fei any longer. This time, if Wang Fei doesn’t want a divorce, let Ning Wang divorce her directly on the grounds of jealousy! In the royal family, there is no such thing as divorce, only abandonment!”

The Emperor furrowed his brow, clearly not entirely in agreement.

Opposing, he said, “Ninth Uncle, there’s no need to be so angry. Although the Empress has become a bit more assertive, after all, Ning Wang had promised her before the marriage that he will not take any concubines . Besides, we must also consider Prince shinzi reputation.”

At this, the Ninth Uncle let out a disdainful snort.

“Regardless, our royal family cannot entertain the idea of divorce. Your Majesty, you must not make a mistake. Otherwise, even our ancestors underground will be restless!”

He glanced subtly at Shu Shu Yuwan.

Shu Shu Yuwan naturally noticed but responded with a generous smile towards the Ninth Uncle.

Feeling somewhat embarrassed, the Ninth Uncle turned his head back and continued to discuss the inappropriate behavior of Wang Fei.

Shu Shu Yuwan remained quiet and composed, not expressing any opinions even after the royal family members left.

Once the others had left, the Emperor rubbed his temples and said to Shu Shu Yuwan, “Shu Yuwan, you have always been close to the Empress. Do you know the reason behind her actions this time?”

Shu Shu Yuwan shook her head and replied, “I only heard about this matter just now and rushed over immediately. I will invite Wang Fei to the palace to find out what’s going on.”

The Emperor nodded, saying, “That’s for the best. Shu Yuwan, please advise her. At this age, whether there is a divorce or not is just a matter of reputation, but we must also consider Shinzi well-being.”

Shu Shu Yuwan nodded, feeling that persuading Wang Fei might not be as easy as it seemed.

Wouldn’t her mother-in-law have thought of these things?

At this moment in the Ning mansion, the atmosphere was dull and quiet.

Ning Wang was also rarely staying at home.

“What’s going on now?” Ning Wang’s tone couldn’t hide his impatience.

Wang Fei didn’t care about Ning Wang’s attitude and said indifferently, “I don’t want to have any more entanglements with you, not even in name.”

Seeing Wang Fei’s indifferent attitude, Ning Wang felt uncomfortable.

He advised, “Is it necessary? If you don’t want to see me, I have been trying to avoid you for these years. You can stay in the mansion, be with Shinzi, isn’t that good?”

“Moreover, now that Shinzi is married, in the future, when we have more children, don’t you want to be by our side?”

Wang Fei didn’t bother to explain and lazily said, “You don’t need to worry about it. Just come with me to sign the divorce papers.”

Ning Wang didn’t say much more, just stated, “The Emperor won’t agree, and the royal family won’t agree. Let’s just leave it at that.”

With that, he got up and left.

Wang Fei also knew that this matter was very difficult.

Since the first time Ning Wang found another woman, she had wanted to cut ties with this man completely. However, at that time, she still had to consider Shinzi. If they divorced, and Ning Wang remarried, Shinzi would have to live with another woman. If Ning Wang had more sons in the future, Shinzi’s life would be even more difficult, and the position of the future heir might not be guaranteed.

Before Wang Fei could think further, the nanny entered cautiously and said, “Queen, someone from the palace has come to summon you..”

Wang Fei came back to her senses and understood the reason. She said, “Then, I will change my clothes.”

“Understood.”

As the nanny helped Wang Fei change, she anxiously said, “Queen, aren’t you going to think about it anymore?”

Wang Fei smiled, “What is there to think about? After so many years by my side, don’t you know me?”
