Chapter 581 - 170: The Real Culprit_4
"She’s already married, Mother," Shen Yurong reminded.
"I know, but now she’s had a miscarriage," Mother Shen said, "Having miscarried, she is also thinking about you. Just a few words from you, and she would be able to divorce the Li Family and marry into our Shen family."
"Yes, yes, yes," Shen Ruyun also said eagerly, "Our Shen family will not be like the Li Family, we will take good care of her!"
Just hearing this, one might think this is a family with warm hearts. To think they’re willing to welcome her into their home, not minding that she’s been married before and had a child with another man. Little do they know that the child in Princess Yongning’s womb was his; had they known, they might not cease their commotion.
"Forget about this matter," Shen Yurong said coldly, "She will not divorce, and there is no need for her to enter the doors of the Shen family." With that, he ignored Shen Ruyun and after giving a nod to Mother Shen, left the hall and walked towards the courtyard.
Behind him, the voices of Shen Ruyun and Mother Shen arguing could be heard, but Shen Yurong did not want to listen. Although his official position had not been low, for some reason, Mother Shen and Shen Ruyun still hoped he would climb higher by relying on Princess Yongning. There was a time when they just wanted him to study hard, skimping and saving to accumulate enough silver for his school fees, never complaining. But now, clearly free from worries about food and clothing, they remained unsatisfied.
When did they start to become greedy? Shen Yurong did not know. By the time he realized things had reached an irrevocable point, it seemed too late.
In order to gain higher power and status, his family did not hesitate to want him to sell his dignity, even if it meant dealing covertly with a married woman, which made Shen Yurong feel somewhat disgusted.
