Shen Shiren, the head of the family, nodded. Even if the others were unwilling, it was useless. Especially Old Madam Wang, who was always domineering and obsessed with wealth, could only accept reality with resentment when faced with her son and grandson’s future.

With that settled, Wang Yalan didn’t delay any longer and immediately arranged for it to happen.

The servants and stewards of the Shen family were well-trained. Although they were a little surprised to hear this order, they quickly got to work.

Lu Yao saw this and got up, “Then we’ll go back and wait.”

Shen Shiren and the others felt uncomfortable even looking at them now. Hearing her offer to leave, how could they possibly keep them? They waved their hands repeatedly, urging them to leave.

Lu Yao had achieved her goal and didn’t want to waste time with these petty people. She just reminded them, “Don’t forget the time, and don’t think about playing tricks or doing anything sneaky. We’ve copied that list more than once, you know.”

She had already extended the time from one hour to two hours, she was quite easygoing.

Wang Yalan, whose thoughts were exposed, was speechless.

Shen Shiren took a deep breath, “Don’t forget about tomorrow’s matter.”

Lu Yao, who was about to step out, stopped, “Don’t worry, as long as you keep your promise, we won’t break our word.”

She looked at Shen Shiren, her eyes filled with scrutiny and incomprehension, “I’ve always been curious, is Rong Ge really your biological son?”

Otherwise, how could he be so heartless?

He glanced at the chosen one, who was as quiet as a chicken and acting as a background board. There were those who treated their children differently, those who favored one child over another, but it was rare to see someone who treated their biological son as a mortal enemy, who would design to have him killed for the sake of another son.

Shen Shiren frowned, pretending to be confused, “What do you mean?”

Lu Yao clicked her tongue and didn’t answer. She looked at Shen Yanrong with pity.

He smiled at her, indicating that he was fine.

He didn’t care anymore.

Old Madam Wang reacted at this time, as if she had been hit in a sore spot. She slammed the table, “You little bitch, born of a mother but not raised by one, what right do you have to question my Shen family!”

If he wasn’t their biological son, they would have strangled him long ago, why would they kindly raise him to this age?

She had wanted to endure it for the sake of her son and grandson, but listen to what this bitch was saying? Her son was cuckolded? If that bitch dared, she would have someone dig up her grave tonight!

“Old Lady, please be gentle,” Lu Yao said with a pained expression, “This table is made of high-quality huanghuali wood, it’s very valuable.”

Old Madam Wang’s face turned red, then white, then green, almost becoming a color palette. In the end, she pointed her finger at Lu Yao’s nose, “You, you, how did our Shen family marry such a bitch.”

“Speaking of which, I have to thank you for that.” When she mentioned this, Lu Yao became interested, and her gaze towards them became genuinely sincere.

Old Madam Wang: …

Wang Yalan: …

What were their feelings right now?

Don’t ask, just ask if they regret it.

They had just wanted to find a woman for Shen Yanrong, this bastard, who looked good on the surface in terms of family background, but who couldn’t provide any help. Of course, the woman’s reputation and reputation couldn’t be too good.

Lu Yao was their final choice, after careful consideration.

Her uncle’s family was wealthy, although he didn’t have a real official position, he was a magistrate. Her biological father was once a local official, he was promoted to Prefect because of his outstanding achievements, but he was unlucky, he was killed by bandits on his way to take office.

They heard that there was a girl of marriageable age in the Lu family, her parents had passed away, she lived with others, and she had a sickly brother. Her reputation wasn’t very good, but she was beautiful.

That last point was enough to make up for all the other shortcomings.

These conditions were exactly what they wanted, so they liked her at first sight.

They thought that after finding her such a partner, their life wouldn’t be hell, but it would definitely be chaotic. Who would have thought that the rumors were false…

Every time they thought about it, their hearts ached, and this bitch was still mentioning gratitude in front of them!

Old Madam Wang gritted her teeth, “Aren’t you afraid of being kicked out of the Shen family?!”

Anyway, her son and grandson’s matter had been settled, and she had arranged for someone to check the dowry. She wasn’t afraid of those two bitches not cooperating.

“Huh, did we get it wrong?” Lu Yao said with surprise and incomprehension, “I thought we were already kicked out of the Shen family four years ago.”

Having gotten what she wanted, Lu Yao didn’t need to waste time with these people.

“You believe me or not…”

“I believe you,” Lu Yao interrupted Old Madam Wang, pointing to her own blood-stained face, “You are the Minister’s biological mother, you can scold or beat whoever you want, it’s up to you.”

“You’re rebelling, you’re rebelling!” Being interrupted, Old Madam Wang was so angry that she wanted to slam the table again. Thinking of the expensive pearwood table, she held back and looked at Wang Yalan, “Hurry up and finish checking, from now on, my Shen family will sever ties with the Rong family!”

“Mother!” Wang Yalan didn’t expect Old Madam Wang to say that. She was happy in her heart, but she pretended to be worried and troubled, “Yanrong is the only child left by Sister, you’re doing this… wouldn’t that mean that the Shen family will sever ties with this child? That’s absolutely not allowed.”

“What’s not allowed? We’re going to sever ties!” Old Madam Wang looked at her son, “If you still recognize me as your mother, then write a document severing ties. From now on, we’ll have nothing to do with each other, whether it’s wealth and honor, life, old age, sickness, or death. We’ll never see each other again.”

Shen Shiren didn’t respond to his mother’s words, but talked about something else, “Mother, it’s getting late, you want to go back to rest, leave this to me and my cousin.”

Then, he instructed Shen Yaoming to send the old woman back.

Shen Yaoming understood that no matter what his father and mother planned, he would be the ultimate beneficiary. He had no objection. Old Madam Wang wanted to say something, but he coaxed her and tricked her out of the study.

Without Old Madam Wang, the air became quiet.

Lu Yao took the initiative to break the silence, “Minister, shall we write it?”

A document severing ties, they had been looking forward to it for so long.

Unfortunately, they didn’t get their wish.

Shen Shiren forced a smile that he thought was amiable, “Mother is getting old, we, as younger generations, should be more tolerant,” he said, not wanting to talk about this topic anymore, he then said, “It’s getting late, the two children are sleepy, you two go back and rest. Don’t worry, it will be delivered on time.”

Wang Yalan also nodded in agreement, “I’ll go to the warehouse to watch later, I won’t delay anything.”

Lu Yao chuckled, “If you’re just worried that we’ll break our promise and ruin things, you don’t have to worry. Even if we really sever ties, the promise still stands. Perhaps…”

She paused, then tempted them, “You can even gain some goodwill from this, and achieve your goal more perfectly.”

Wang Yalan’s eyes lit up, she was obviously more tempted.

Shen Shiren’s eyes flickered, he pretended to be angry, “What are you talking about? Go back and wait, and don’t say these things in the future, it’s hurtful.”

Lu Yao rolled her eyes in her heart, she readily agreed, “If that’s the case, we’ll go back first.”

After saying that, the couple took their children and left the study without hesitation.

This time, they left smoothly.

After they left, Wang Yalan looked at Shen Shiren with incomprehension, “Cousin, you’re not…”

“It’s not the right time yet.” Shen Shiren naturally knew what she was talking about, and he didn’t explain further.

“But Mother, I’m worried…” Wang Yalan frowned slightly, her face full of worry and anxiety, her appearance was so pitiful that even though she was almost forty, she still made people want to hold her in their arms and comfort her.

Shen Shiren was no exception.

He held her in his arms and comforted her, “Don’t worry, it’s not the right time today, but tomorrow might be different.”

It was both reassurance and explanation.

“Cousin, do you think that child will hate us? After all…”

“Don’t think too much,” Shen Shiren frowned slightly, “After all, we haven’t done anything wrong to him. It’s up to his own fate from now on.”

Wang Yalan hummed, leaning against the man’s embrace, a triumphant smile curled at the corner of her lips.
