Doted By The Regent King-Chapter 1475 - 1413: Separation Agreement
Madam Zhou was accompanied by Purple Jade, Nanny Cheng, and Chi Wu in the yamen, tearing into Wu Lihong.
She held her pregnant belly, facing the crowd’s gaze, her fingers trembling slightly, doing her best not to meet Wu Lihong’s eyes.
The official sitting above occasionally glanced at her and Wu Lihong, a hint of amusement in his eyes, as this matter was also a first in his official career.
Wu Lihong too was experiencing this for the first time. Entering here was like stripping off a layer of clothing, exposing himself starkly under everyone’s view, embarrassingly bare.
He glanced at Madam Zhou with a mixture of resentment and anger, not expecting to be tricked by this woman and that damned girl. If he had known, why bother about past sentiments?
Now, instead of benefiting, he was left with humiliation.
"Sir, is it enough to press the fingerprint?" Purple Jade asked with a smile.
The divorce document was prepared on their side, in duplicate.
"You’re both doing this voluntarily; once you sign and press the fingerprint, we’ll file it." Governor Huang glanced at Wu Lihong and said, "Lord Wu is an official of the Ministry of Rites; he should be well aware."
Wu Lihong felt his face burn, snorted through his nose.
"Please, sir." Purple Jade assisted Madam Zhou in pressing the fingerprint, then invited Wu Lihong.
At this point, further entanglement would make people say that Wu Lihong was falling short, so he quickly pressed the fingerprint and then looked at Madam Zhou, saying, "From now on, you and your daughter take care. Our marital ties may be thin, but she and the child in your belly are still my flesh and blood. I am their father regardless, so you can send someone to the Wu Family if needed."
Madam Zhou threw a quick glance at him then lowered her head, saying, "Divorced, so we’re unrelated."
"You!"
Wu Lihong really felt like taking a knife to open her brain, to see what was inside. How could she always say whatever someone else does? Clearly, they talked well before returning, but seeing that damned girl, everything changed!
Damned, hateful!
Did that girl feed her some mind-altering potion, making her so obedient?
When she was with him, she was ever so gentle, yet within a few months, she changed so completely. Was it all fake, intended to seek revenge?
The most venomous thing is a woman’s heart!
Thinking this, Wu Lihong began to somewhat believe his own thoughts; otherwise, how could Madam Zhou change so thoroughly and so quickly?
He couldn’t think of anything else!
In truth, he was overthinking; Madam Zhou, by nature, is impressionable, easily swayed, much like a Cymbidium Flower that merely clings.
In this matter, she was just led by circumstances to reevaluate the pros and cons, thus siding with Wufu. Otherwise, she’d be enduring hardship at the Wu Residence now!
Madam Zhou had no notable qualities; she only thrived because she met Wufu!
It’s said that fools have fortune; perhaps it refers to her!
Wu Lihong couldn’t care less about such fortune; he now saw Madam Zhou with eyes of scrutiny and caution, like a vengeful beauty snake!
"Lord Wu, please take it!" Purple Jade shoved the divorce document into Wu Lihong’s arms, saying, "From now on, my madam and lady have nothing to do with you!"
"You’re mistaken. I’m still her biological father!" Wu Lihong haphazardly stuffed the divorce document into his sleeve, smirking with satisfaction.
