Meng Yihuan raised an eyebrow, thinking to herself that this Xue Wanrou was truly a woman who knew when to bend. A moment ago, she had been pointing fingers, furiously accusing her of framing her, yet the very next moment she was groveling like this. She had to admit, Xue Wanrou was far shrewder than both Si Yunhui and his mother.
Of course, Meng Yihuan had no intention of letting Xue Wanrou be cast out of the family today. A simple divorce was far too merciful compared to the agony she had suffered in her previous life, being stabbed to death by the children she had raised with her own hands. She needed to keep Xue Wanrou in the Earl Chengen's Mansion, watch her fall step by step, witness her own children degenerate, and ultimately, destroy her completely.
Feigning hesitation, Meng Yihuan let out a sigh. "Mother, Xue Wanrou is right. Chuchu and Tianque have already lost their father; it would be pitiful indeed if they lost their mother as well. Since no outsiders saw what happened today—only our own people—as long as we ensure the servants hold their tongues, the reputation of the mansion will remain untarnished. In my view, it would be better to teach her a lesson without going to extremes. Let us spare her life."
