“I know, I’ll talk to Father and Uncle.” Tuoba Gucheng ended the call abruptly, astounded by his mother’s actions. Just why did she have to do that?

Tuoba Rui, too, had no idea why Shi Xiaoyu wanted to do that. He was at the ancestral graveyard when he received an overseas call from Tuoba Shuo. After calling his son, he then stormed off to the Autumn Palace.

Tuoba Rui arrived home in a huff when the panic-stricken Shi Xiaoyu was lying in bed, trying to calm herself down.

He unlocked the door with the spare key and stared at Shi Xiaoyu. Without another word, he strode toward her and gave her a few hard slaps across her face.

Shi Xiaoyu shrieked in terror while feeling giddy from the impact.

Unfortunately for her, that was not the end of it. Tuoba Rui dragged her out of the bed by grabbing the collar of her pajamas tightly, causing her to fall onto the ground like an animal. He then chuckled menacingly and barked, “Shi Xiaoyu, I’ve really belittled you. I didn’t even know when you began to bear a grudge against Shuo!”

Shi Xiaoyu did not retort and sat quietly on the couch, for she would rather be misunderstood than reveal the fact that Shi Qingzhou was still alive.

Tuoba Rui was beyond exasperated over her reaction. He kicked her and said, “Why aren’t you speaking?”

“I have nothing to say.” Shi Xiaoyu sat up straight again unhurriedly.

“Why do you want to kill Shuo?”

She remained tight-lipped.

Tuoba Rui flew into an uncontrollable rage and bellowed, “We must get a divorce tomorrow!”

He then stormed off angrily.

He slammed the door shut with a loud thud, the impact causing the door to vibrate.

Shi Xiaoyu stared at the ground blankly and supported herself up.

She sat on the bed sluggishly with her eyes glassed over. The voice in her head repeatedly chanted, “It’s over now, you’re doomed. It’s over.”

She finally heard the words she had dreaded.

Tuoba Rui had never mentioned a divorce before, even when she said that she wanted to kill An Xiaoning.

In fact, she would rather be beaten into a pulp than get divorced.

She grabbed her mobile phone with quivering hands and gave Tuoba Gucheng a call. However, he dismissed it before even answering.

He returned her call a long while later.

“Gucheng, your father wants to divorce me. Give him a call to persuade him to change his mind. I can’t divorce him. You’re not to give your approval, you hear me!?!” Shi Xiaoyu spluttered anxiously.

“Let’s talk about this when I get home tomorrow.”

“Gucheng, you’ll understand my reasons for doing what I did once I explain the truth to you. Okay then, go to sleep. I’ll wait for you to return tomorrow.”

“Yes.”

Shi Xiaoyu did not catch a wink at all that night.

All she could think about was Shi Qingzhou, Tuoba Shuo, and Tuoba Rui. In hindsight, she had been too reckless, wanting to kill Shi Qingzhou in order to get a peace of mind as soon as she found out about the latter’s whereabouts.

She was too impatient, such that she did not take all the necessary precautions.

The thought of Shi Qingzhou being rescued filled her with exasperation. Tuoba Shuo seemed to be so quiet and harmless on the surface. Yet, he was actually such a scheming man and actually managed to rescue Shi Qingzhou sneakily. No wonder he wanted to move out of the Autumn Palace. I’ve really belittled him!

Shi Xiaoyu was not in the mood for breakfast at all. Upon hearing that Tuoba Gucheng had returned home with Lin Shishi, she quickly got out of bed to freshen up and proceeded to meet them.

A stiff tension filled the air in the quiet room.

Tuoba Danxue and Jin Minxing had come home together, and all the members of the Tuoba family were present.

Due to the fact that it was a familial issue, Jin Minxing and Lin Shishi excused themselves and exited the room.

The family of five were left alone with each other.

“Since all of you are present now, I hereby announce to you guys that your mother and I are getting a divorce today, no matter what. I can’t bring myself to face such a vicious woman like her any longer!” Tuoba Rui announced.

“I’m vicious? Am I as vicious as you are? Although you married me and we gave birth to these three children, you’ve never been as concerned about them or loved them as much as you have been toward your illegitimate daughter!” Shi Xiaoyu retorted, feeling much less afraid of Tuoba Rui with her children around.

Everyone was flabbergasted to hear about the illegitimate daughter.

The three siblings looked at each other in bewilderment before turning to Shi Xiaoyu and asking, “Mother, what do you mean?”

“Ask your father what I mean!” Shi Xiaoyu answered.

“We’re talking about your motive for killing Shuo, why are you bringing this up for no reason!?!” Tuoba Rui barked.

“Because I want to.” Shi Xiaoyu scoffed and continued, “Explain to your children who your illegitimate daughter is and where she is right now. Let’s make everything clear today! Don’t hide things from your children! Show them your true colors! You’ve harbored feelings for another woman your entire life! How dare you say that I’m vicious?”

Tuoba Rui remained silent. He initially did not plan to reveal to his children about An Xiaoning. However, there was nothing to hide anymore, now that Shi Xiaoyu had spilled the beans.

“Don’t make it sound so crude. After all, these three children didn’t even exist yet when my daughter was born. Furthermore, if her mother were still present, you wouldn’t even have had the chance to marry me. If it weren’t for the despicable tricks you pulled, would I have forced myself to marry you?” Tuoba Rui sneered.

Shi Xiaoyu glared at him and said, “You don’t have to care how I married you. Have you ever treated me like your wife from the bottom of your heart!?!”

“Who’d dare to be true to you? You’re such a horrid and repulsive person. I’d rather treat a dog well than you.”

“Tuoba Rui, you damned jerk!”

Tuoba Gucheng snapped, “Are you two finished yet!?! We’ll leave Father’s matter for later. Mother, why did you want to kill Uncle?”

“Let your father tell you about his illegitimate daughter before I talk to you guys privately. You’ll understand everything then!” Shi Xiaoyu exclaimed, gritting her teeth in anger. She believed that her children would help her get rid of Shi Qingzhou once she told them the truth.

Tuoba Gucheng’s temples began to throb as he stared at his father and said, “Father, speak up.”

“When I was younger, I met your mother’s half-sister, whose name was Shi Qingzhou. I adored her greatly, but she was in love with your uncle, who wanted to marry her against the will of your grandparents. Your grandparents were dead set against it and wanted to execute her. Her mentor and I rescued her and she happened to be pregnant back then. However, your uncle wasn’t aware and he thought that she had really passed away. Hence, he decided to become a monk and cooped himself in the mansion at the entrance.”

Shi Xiaoyu interrupted him, “Did you hear that? That’s how shameless your father is!”

“Shut up! I’ll never be as shameless as you,” Tuoba Rui retorted, glowering at her.

Tuoba Danxue was dumbfounded. “Father, what happened next?”

“She ran away a while after giving birth. Your mother said that she was executed by your grandparents, and I told your mother to send the child out of the Autumn Palace.” Tuoba Rui began to tear up and continued, “I’ve never seen her again ever since she was sent away, nor have I ever done my part as her father. Your mother still has the cheek to say that I treat her better than I treat you. Since when did I do that?”
