"That hits the spot, Mo Lingxi rubbed his forehead, looking at his son, 'Xiao Feng, do you think your father is that kind of person?'
Xiao Feng's chubby little face was full of innocence and ignorance, 'Father, how would Xiao Feng know about your affairs? You have to ask Father yourself.'
This hit even harder. Mo Lingxi looked at his son deeply, 'Xiao Feng, are you hoping that your mother and I will separate?'
Xiao Feng said he had never thought that, 'Father saying this...'
He looked his father up and down, left and right, and suddenly said meaningfully, 'Mother, Father has another woman outside, and he wants to separate from you!'
Mo Lingxi: '...' This truly was his good son!
Seeing his speechless and wanting-to-beat-his-son look, Tao Lengshuang couldn't help but laugh, 'Xiao Feng, where did you learn all this?'
When it came to hitting the mark, no one was better than Xiao Feng at striking his father.
Xiao Feng tilted his head adorably, 'I heard it. Father is a prince, and princes have many concubines. So Mother should leave Father early, otherwise Father... wuwuwuwu!'
He glared angrily at Mo Lingxi, who was covering his mouth. Father was so mean, not letting him speak the truth.
Mo Lingxi lightly tapped his head and said irritably, 'You little rascal, you really wish your father would be abandoned by your mother. I'm telling you, if this really happens because of you, I'll send you to the army camp so you can't see your mother.'
This leaky little padded jacket was simply going to be the death of him.
Xiao Feng grumbled and grumbled, completely unfazed. He had his mother and maternal grandmother protecting him. Father wouldn't dare send him to the army camp and keep him from seeing his mother.
Mo Lingxi gave him a warning look, then handed the wooden box to Tao Lengshuang, 'Inside are some silver notes and land deeds. See if you need them. If not, you can keep them.'
As soon as Tao Lengshuang opened it, a stack of silver notes and land deeds 'impatiently' sprang out and scattered all over the floor.
'...' Is this all? Did Mo Lingxi have a different understanding of the word 'all' than she did?
Picking up the scattered land deeds and silver notes, she asked with a twitching mouth, 'I really want to know how you managed to cram so many silver notes and land deeds into this wooden box.'
Mo Lingxi said he just put them in, only using a bit of internal energy.
Tao Lengshuang did not accept them. She returned the wooden box to him, 'No reward without merit. These things are too valuable. You keep them well. Besides, I'm not short of money.'
The money earned from selling the medicinal pills alone was enough for her and Xiao Feng's expenses. She didn't need Mo Lingxi's money.
Mo Lingxi: '...We are husband and wife. It's only right for you to use mine.'
Tao Lengshuang smiled, 'Even as husband and wife, there's no reason for me to use yours. I can earn money myself. You keep them; I won't accept these things.'
If it were ordinary trinkets, she would accept them, but these things were too valuable. She could not accept them.
Mo Lingxi could see that she truly didn't want to accept them. He felt a bit helpless and uncomfortable, and his tone became a little heavier, 'Why are you unwilling to accept them? We are husband and wife. If you don't use mine, are you still thinking of leaving?'
Tao Lengshuang was silent for a long time and said, 'I don't deny that I still want to leave. The current life is not what I want, and I won't wrong myself for anyone. If you are truly dissatisfied with my actions, you don't need to hold back. Let's talk openly and honestly.'
She truly couldn't bear to wrong herself for a lifetime in a place full of schemes and dangers for the sake of a man.
Just as Mo Lingxi was about to say something, he was hit by Xiao Feng.
'Father, you're too much!'
Xiao Feng put his hands on his hips and glared at Mo Lingxi with puffed cheeks, 'Xiao Feng can understand Mother, why can't Father understand Mother? Just because Father likes this kind of life doesn't mean Mother and Xiao Feng like it. Besides, Mother cannot be wronged.'
Madam Sheng nodded in agreement with these words, 'My daughter cannot be wronged. If Prince Mingrui really thinks there's something wrong with my daughter, then a divorce is fine. My daughter has plenty of suitors and won't hang herself on your crooked neck.'
Mo Lingxi pinched his brow, feeling a bit annoyed, 'Mother-in-law, that's not what I meant. Why can't you all understand me a little?'
'I told Tao Lengshuang that once everything is settled, I will live the life she wants with her. During this period, can she consider my feelings a little?'
Tao Lengshuang's heart ached upon hearing this. A sarcastic smile appeared on her pretty face, and the light in her eyes dimmed a bit.
'Prince Mingrui, your words are truly heartless!' Madam Sheng said with a hint of anger, 'Hasn't my Lengshuang considered your feelings?'
'If she truly didn't consider your feelings, would she offer you advice? Would she continue to stay by your side? Prince Mingrui, you should think about how much trouble and danger you have around you, and those complicated situations. There are people trying to pull Lengshuang into the mire.'
Mo Lingxi knew all this. He slightly softened his tone, 'Mother-in-law, as Prince Mingrui's consort, these are things she should bear. She cannot always evade them.'
'Mother-in-law knows better than me that she wanted to escape from the very beginning and has never given up on this idea. I have advised her several times, but she still insists on her own way. Has she ever considered me?'
'Alright, Mother. There's nothing more to discuss about this matter.' Tao Lengshuang stopped Madam Sheng from saying anything further and glanced coldly at Mo Lingxi, 'Since you are so dissatisfied with me and feel that I have wronged you, then there's no need for us to continue.'
'Give me a divorce letter or a letter of release, either is fine. I have no objections, but I hope you can give it to me today. If you don't give it to me today, I will give you a divorce letter.'
She glanced at the wet nurse.
The wet nurse stepped forward and, with a stern attitude, made a gesture of invitation to Mo Lingxi, 'Your Highness Prince Mingrui, please leave. If you don't leave, don't blame this servant for resorting to extraordinary measures.'
Mo Lingxi was stunned, not understanding why things had turned out this way, 'No... Tao Lengshuang, what exactly is wrong with you?'
Tao Lengshuang no longer wanted to say anything more to him. She took Xiao Feng's hand and left.
Mo Lingxi wanted to chase after her but was stopped by the wet nurse.
'To be honest, I really didn't expect your true thoughts to be like this, Prince Mingrui,' Madam Sheng said, extremely displeased.
'Mother-in-law...' Mo Lingxi was interrupted by Madam Sheng as soon as he spoke.
'I cannot bear to be called Mother-in-law by Prince Mingrui. Prince Mingrui should refrain from shouting such titles.'
With that, Madam Sheng ordered the wet nurse to drive Mo Lingxi out and instructed the maids to pack his belongings, 'Throw out the things belonging to outsiders. We don't want to cause any misunderstandings.'
The wet nurse and maids bowed and began to busy themselves.
Mo Lingxi was even more stunned, truly not understanding why things had become like this, 'Mother-in-law, this... what exactly is going on?'"
