Ruling the Historical Romance Novel as the Female Supporting Character-Chapter 430: He Can Help, But Divorce Is A Must

She is still alive, and she dares to do such an outrageous thing. If she were to die, Wang Fengsong would probably go crazy. The mistakes would only multiply in the future.

"Is it that as long as you divorce Wang Fengsong, you can help save your son?" Grandma Cui suddenly asked.

Mu Xiaowei was taken aback. He hadn’t expected that after nearly twenty years of insistence, his mother would actually agree this time.

But before he could ponder it further, Wang Fengsong sharply retorted,

"I will not divorce! I absolutely will not divorce! Our son got into trouble, so why should I be the only one blamed? I work every day, and he was raised by his mother. If things had gone well, he wouldn’t have been so shortsighted.

Back when I forced him to go to a labor university at home, he threw two tantrums, and his mother, aunt, and sister agreed that if he didn’t want to go, he didn’t have to. If you had all listened to my opinion back then, would we be in this situation today?

Why should the consequences of your indulgence fall on me?

And this son is ours, both of ours! Mu Xiaowei, I don’t even know what I did wrong. Ever since we returned to Jingdu City, you’ve found fault with everything I do! I carried him for ten months, gave birth to a son for the Mu family through all that hardship, and now you want a divorce just because you said so!

Are you even a man? Do you even deserve that suit you’re wearing? Is this how you were raised, to be someone who abandons his wife?

In the past twenty years, how many times have you even taken care of our son? More than five times? The reason he turned out this way, you have a big part to blame! Why do you want a divorce from me?"

Mu Xiaowei listened to her accusations, his lips pressed into a thin line, draining all color from his face.

He didn’t know how to explain the events from years ago.

Due to the injury during a mission, part of his memory was blurry.

His heart told him he loved his wife, loved his child.

That’s why, when the doctor told him his brain was uncertain and there was no telling when he’d recover, he ignored his family’s objections and married the daughter of the Wang family’s side branch.

But as they spent more time together, he began to feel more confused.

During the period right after his memory started to fail, he couldn’t get close to Wang Fengsong, and he thought it was just his memory being disordered.

But as time passed, he didn’t find the familiar feeling he expected. Instead, he realized he didn’t like her—neither her appearance nor her personality, and even her voice.

He couldn’t understand why he felt this way about her.

For this, he even sent people to investigate in Hu City.

But the result was that after he was injured during the mission, he really met Wang Fengsong and ended up with her.

He loathed himself for it for a long time and tried to correct it.

But he found that Wang Fengsong wasn’t as gentle as she appeared.

To quickly integrate into the Mu and Wang families and the whole compound, she had secretly done many things to please people.

The Mu family didn’t need to stoop to such tactics.

They couldn’t give people the impression that anyone in trouble could rely on them.

He had stopped her, but Wang Fengsong didn’t listen.

But in the end, he had avoided this family for nineteen years, and indeed, he hadn’t fulfilled his responsibility as a father.

"I do have responsibility for not raising the child well. So after taking him to turn himself in, I will explain everything to the unit and wait for the results on how they’ll handle it."

Mu Xiaowei lowered his head, his energy seemingly drained away.

"I’m not divorcing!" Wang Fengsong said firmly, holding the half-unconscious Mu Yanming in her arms.

Grandma Cui, seeing them still arguing over trivial matters at this point, stomped her feet in frustration from the side.

"Fine, you keep arguing. Right now, you need to come up with a solution. No matter what, my grandson cannot go to jail!" Grandma Cui shouted, her patience wearing thin.

"Mom, you’re making me make a mistake! There’s no way to cover up a fire with paper," Mu Xiaowei said, exasperated.

"I don’t care! If you don’t find a way to save your son, and it brings disaster to our entire Mu family, I’ll die!" Grandma Cui resorted to her desperate measures, something she had always despised in others.

Mu Xiaowei didn’t respond, his face dark as he looked at Grandma Cui. When he saw her adamant expression, he understood that she meant it.

Clenching her teeth, she suddenly lunged toward the sharp corner of the coffee table.

Mu Xiaowei jumped in shock and quickly blocked her. "Mom! Don’t do this!" he shouted in panic.

Grandma Cui sagged into his embrace, crying, "I’m just asking you this one time. Save your son! Consider it your filial duty to me, and also a way to make up for the twenty years you’ve failed to properly teach him. Once this is over, no matter what you want to do, I won’t stop you."

Her words made it clear that she supported Mu Xiaowei’s divorce from Wang Fengsong.

Wang Fengsong clenched her teeth, still wanting to throw a tantrum. Grandma Cui seemed to sense this and immediately fixed her gaze on her.

"You are also Yanming’s mother. Are you really going to prioritize your own interests over your son’s life? In your heart, is a divorce really more important than your son’s entire future?" she questioned fiercely.

At that moment, the semi-conscious Mu Yanming raised his hand and tugged at Wang Fengsong’s sleeve. "Mom..."

Though he only called her, the plea in his tone was unmistakable. This made Mu Xiaowei’s gaze towards him even more contemptuous. He couldn’t understand why he had such a son. If the boy had any backbone, he would stand by Wang Fengsong and protect her.

Mu Xiaowei may not have fulfilled his role as a father, but Wang Fengsong had at least tried her best to be a good mother. This time, she had made a huge mistake, but it was ultimately for Yanming’s sake.

He was frustrated that this son could pressure his loving mother to sacrifice for his future.

With a helpless shake of his head, Mu Xiaowei thought, relying on such a waste to bring glory to the Mu family is just a pipe dream.

Wang Fengsong gritted her teeth and finally conceded, "I can agree to the divorce. However, I have one condition: we must wait until Yanming is married before we divorce. These days, parents who divorce, regardless of gender, are often seen as coming from a dysfunctional family. Good girls won’t want to marry Yanming otherwise. So we must wait until he’s married, and only then can we get divorced."
