Remarrying Chun Yuan

Chapter 386 Hanging oneself

Li Shu's hand trembled, and she suddenly looked up at Wei Gongming. "What did you say?" Her head was buzzing.

Wei Gongming repeated himself, "Divorce."

“We have no children, and I do not hold a position in the capital. We cannot see a future living apart, so I have no reason to delay your remarriage.”

"I came back this time specifically for this matter. If you agree, we will go to the government office tomorrow to handle this matter."

"After I finish this, I need to return to the west as soon as possible."

……

Li Shu couldn't hear anything Wei Gongming said after that. Her ears were completely filled with the word "divorce"!

“Separation is not a problem. I can go to the west with you,” Li Shu said hurriedly. “If you hate me and don’t want me to bother you, I can stay in the capital and never bother you.”

Wei Gongming: "Why are you doing this? Divorce is the best choice for both of us."

"Why? I've compromised and yielded for you time and time again, and even avoided provoking you, so why won't you give up and still abandon me?!"

Li Shu went mad. She suddenly screamed, "Wei Gongming, what have I done to wrong you? Why are you treating me like this?!"

"I never liked you in the first place, and our marriage was a mistake." Wei Gongming said expressionlessly, showing no pity for her tears.

He had seen Qin Muyan these past few days and knew there was no turning back for them. Since there was no need to return to the capital, why keep a wife here?

He wanted to sever all ties and leave completely, and Li Shu's existence was meaningless; on the contrary, she was an easy target for others to use against him.

But Wei Gongming naturally wouldn't say these things to Li Shuming. He only needed one result: a divorce.

Li Shu couldn't bear to hear those words and couldn't help but smash everything in sight in a hysterical outburst.

She knew that Wei Gongming didn't like her at all, but she wanted to maintain the identity of "the Crown Prince's wife".

She endured and yielded again and again, only to have him make a special trip back to the capital just to divorce her?

"I won't agree! I absolutely won't agree! I'll take over the position of the Marquis of Zhenning's mansion even if I die! I will never give it up!"

……

Li Shu's attempts to kill herself did nothing to force Wei Gongming to compromise.

He had no intention of getting entangled with Li Shu, and turned to leave with long strides.

As Li Shu watched him leave, she immediately stepped forward and grabbed his collar, asking, "Where are you going? Where are you going?" She was afraid that Wei Gongming would never come back after leaving.

"I will go see Vice Minister Li and discuss this matter with him personally." Wei Gongming did not want to delay. Since Li Shu would not agree, it would be acceptable if her father agreed.

If Vice Minister Li hesitated, he would go to Li Chengyue.

Li Chengyue was the one who most wanted Li Shu to break off all ties with him, without exception.

Li Shu was filled with terror. She was genuinely afraid. Only when her father was mentioned did she realize that Wei Gongming truly wanted to separate from her, and that it wasn't just empty talk.

"Gongming, what do I have to do to make you give up on the divorce? As long as we don't divorce, I won't interfere with what you want to do!"

Her last vestige of dignity was her status as the Crown Prince's wife. If even this status were gone, she truly had no reason to live.

Looking at her tear-streaked face, Wei Gongming simply tugged open his own clothes.

The moment he stepped out of the mansion, the last glimmer of hope in Li Shu's eyes vanished...

"Why is my life so worthless? I've already risked everything, and you won't even give me a glance. Why is that?"

……

Liu Yuechu and Lin Mengyu were at home coaxing Tuanzi and Baozi, while also snacking.

The news of Li Shu's suicide by hanging or jumping into the lake was delivered by Liu Muchi, who rushed back to tell her.

"Brother Li beat Prince Wei half to death, and the palace had to intervene. My brother-in-law said he would be back later today."

Li Chengyue is now a pillar of the Ministry of Works, so even if His Majesty punishes him, it won't be too severe.

But he is, after all, the heir of the Marquis of Zhenning, and holds a title. I'm afraid some officials who are dissatisfied with the Li family might use this matter to stir up trouble.

Any movement within the palace will not be tolerated; instead, it will be maliciously amplified...

"What about Li Shu? Did she survive?" Liu Yuechu asked hurriedly.

Liu Muchi shook his head, "I don't know. Madam Li has already gone to the Zhenning Marquis's residence, and there should be a result soon. The people at the Marquis's residence said that the Heir Apparent's wife threatened to kill herself if she wanted a divorce, but the Heir Apparent Wei did not compromise and went directly to Minister Li..."

"Why bother? Why suffer like this? Can't she live without this man?" Lin Mengyu really didn't know how to comment.

Liu Yuechu quickly led them out of the house, not wanting the two children to have their ears polluted by such sordid matters.

“Wei Gongming values ​​interests more. He no longer needs the Li family, so he will naturally leave a vacancy for a wife, waiting for a better woman to fill it.” Liu Yuechu’s understanding of him was piercing, directly hitting the nail on the head. “Besides, the better Brother Li’s momentum is, the worse his life will be. He has seen this clearly for a long time. Now, putting an end to this is the best way to protect himself.”

Lin Mengyu didn't understand these intricacies; she only thought Li Shu was confused. "She made a huge scene at their wedding, and now she wants a divorce, and she's going to make a huge fuss about it. When will she realize that this man doesn't like her, and nothing she does will make a difference?"

Liu Yuechu's expression was complicated. Wasn't this cursing her from her past life?

"How come you only realized this now?" If Lin Mengyu had reminded her in her past life, she might have woken up much earlier.

Lin Mengyu, of course, didn't understand what she meant. "I've always been smart, it's just that you make me seem a bit silly. But being silly isn't so bad, sometimes fools are lucky."

"When Lu Bingyang comes to pick you up later, I'll tell him he married a fool and see what he says," Liu Yuechu said with a smile.

Lin Mengyu checked the time and it was indeed getting late. Even if her mother-in-law didn't mind, she wouldn't dare to go back too late, after all, she was a young wife now.

Liu Yuechu asked Huajiao to fetch some pastries and gifts for her to take back, as well as items for Madam Lu.

Lin Mengyu accepted everything without hesitation.

While they were waiting for the carriage and equipment at the mansion, someone from the Li family suddenly arrived.

“Madam Liu, Young Mistress Lin is also here. Our aunt has woken up and wants to see you. Madam sent me to ask her if you would be willing to go.”

The person who came to invite them was the Li family's steward, who was very familiar with both Liu Yuechu and Lin Mengyu.

Lin Mengyu asked in surprise, "She's going to see Yuechu as soon as she wakes up? What happened before that?"

The steward shook his head. "I don't know either. When the master learned that the young lady had fallen into the water, he immediately went to invite the imperial physician to the Zhenning Marquis's residence. After the imperial physician revived her, the young lady said she wanted to see Lady Liu... But our madam also said that she would not force you. If you are unwilling, you don't have to go."
