Li Yue Shu didn't know what was happening, but she was inexplicably pushed out of the door. Even Liu Lao Han and his wife didn't let her send Shen Zhi Yu to the academy.
Shen Wei, who had been suppressing his aura and acting as a background character the entire time, quickly followed her when he heard her words.
However, Li Yue Shu didn't speak to him at all and drove the carriage directly to Heng De Pharmacy.
Seeing her arrive so early, Doctor Chen, who was moving a stool, looked surprised. He even glanced at Shen Wei and asked, "Why are you two here?"
Hearing this, Li Yue Shu was surprised, "Haven't I been coming to the pharmacy these past few days?"
Doctor Chen quickly put down the stool, "But today is Qixi. Although there are no special events in town, many people will come out to play. Why aren't you two going to see?"
"Qixi?"
Li Yue Shu finally reacted.
The original body's birthday was on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, and this day was also the Qixi Festival.
Li Yue Shu immediately understood why Mother Mo and the others had been in such a hurry to push her and Shen Wei out early in the morning.
Celebrate Qixi?
Li Yue Shu glanced at Shen Wei, who was helping to tidy up the pharmacy and prepare to open, and gave a cold smile.
Who would want to spend Qixi with him!
"Qixi is for unmarried couples, it's not suitable for me, so let's forget it!"
Seeing her say this naturally, Doctor Chen was surprised but didn't think much of it and continued with his work.
Li Yue Shu then stepped into the inner room, completely ignoring Shen Wei, who kept glancing at her from a distance.
Seeing that she didn't look back, Shen Wei's sword-like eyebrows furrowed, and the hand holding the medicine rack slowly tightened.
Fortunately, the medicine boy beside him called out to him, so he didn't end up losing a medicine rack.
And so, Li Yue Shu and Shen Wei stayed at Heng De Pharmacy for the entire day. It wasn't until the academy dismissed them that they went to pick up the three Shen Yi Min brothers.
Seeing the two of them, Shen Yi Min and Shen Ting Wen were stunned. Only Shen Zhi Yu, who understood nothing, happily pounced into Li Yue Shu's arms and acted spoiled.
Shen Yi Min quickly walked to Shen Wei's side, "Dad, you two..."
He didn't say it explicitly, but Shen Wei knew what he wanted to ask and replied directly, "We stayed at Heng De Pharmacy all day."
Shen Yi Min: "..."
Shen Ting Wen, standing beside him, clearly heard this and looked at Shen Wei with a hint of disdain.
The latter felt his gaze and slightly flicked his eyes. Shen Ting Wen immediately put away his expression obediently, as if the person just now was not himself at all.
Seeing this, Shen Wei withdrew his gaze, not taking the matter to heart.
However, he didn't expect that when they returned home, Shen Ting Wen would turn around and tell everyone else about it.
Thus, he directly received the same disdain from Mother Mo and Aunt Liu.
Shen Wei: "..."
Where did this child A Wen's vengeful nature come from?!
Shen Ting Wen naturally felt his father's death stare.
If it were two years ago, his father would have taught him a good lesson. But now it was different; he had someone to protect him!
Shen Ting Wen's gaze involuntarily fell on Li Yue Shu, his eyes seeming to carry a soft glow.
She was truly kind. Even though he and his elder brother hadn't changed their address to her yet, she treated them and their third sister the same.
Only towards their fourth brother, that gluttonous ghost who only knew how to eat, did she show a bit more indulgence.
Thinking of this, Shen Ting Wen couldn't help but pout, a trace of envy appearing on his face, but it quickly vanished.
He still had homework to do after school today, and tomorrow he had to go to the neighboring town to see his aunt and understand the recent situation of Liu Xian Restaurant. There was no need to waste time arguing with his younger brother, that little brat.
Shen Ting Wen was intelligent and willing to put in the effort. Although his academic performance among peers in the academy was in the lower-middle range, and he was often lamented by his teacher as "why is there such a big difference between brothers," he had an extremely intelligent talent in business.
He never needed to be told twice what Shen Can taught him. While remembering these things, he could even generalize, apply them, and gain a thorough understanding.
However, he was still in the learning stage and would inevitably encounter things he didn't understand.
Taking advantage of his free time today, he decided to ask Li Yue Shu.
When he entered the room, he only saw Mother Mo putting away dirty clothes.
Seeing him, Mother Mo knew who he was looking for without even guessing, "Madam is bathing and should be back soon. You can sit and wait for a while."
After speaking, Mother Mo directly put away the dirty clothes and went out.
The weather in Tong Mu County in July was hot, but Li Yue Shu was generous. Every night, she would put ice cubes in everyone's room so that the nights wouldn't be difficult to endure.
These ice cubes were all dug up by Li Yue Shu from her spatial dimension.
Shen Ting Wen fanned himself with the ice cubes. After the room had a few more wisps of coolness, he directly walked to the bedside with his ledger, intending to sit and wait for Li Yue Shu.
As he turned to sit down, the pillow beside him was bumped, revealing half of an envelope.
Shen Ting Wen was about to put the pillow back in place when his gaze happened to fall on the exposed half of the letter, which had the character "休" (xiu - divorce/quit) written on it.
His heart skipped a beat for no reason. After hesitating for a moment, he still reached out and took out the letter.
The next moment, the two characters "休书" (xiu shu - divorce letter) clearly fell into his eyes.
Shen Ting Wen's face changed slightly, and a surge of anger rushed into his mind.
Dad divorced his stepmother?!
How could he do this!
Shen Ting Wen's cheeks turned red with anger. He quickly opened the envelope, intending to destroy the divorce letter inside.
But when he saw Li Yue Shu's name at the end, his hand suddenly paused, and a bad premonition arose in his heart.
He quickly read the contents of the divorce letter carefully. His originally red cheeks instantly turned pale. kuAiδugg
...
When Li Yue Shu walked in, wiping her wet hair, she saw Shen Ting Wen sitting by the bed with a blank look, his face extremely grim.
She immediately ran over nervously, "A Wen, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Shen Ting Wen slowly turned his head to look at her and suddenly grabbed her hand, "You..."
He seemed to want to say something, but after opening his mouth for a long time, he still didn't speak. His usually smiling face was full of confusion and fear.
Looking at his expression, Li Yue Shu pursed her lips, her heart becoming more and more confused.
A Wen had always been a cheerful person, but his smile now seemed much more genuine, no longer the calculating and cautious smile he had for survival.
Because of this, she hadn't seen him so reserved and careful for a long time.
Li Yue Shu thought for a moment and tried to soften her voice, asking, "A Wen, is there something you want to ask Mother?"
Shen Ting Wen's lips trembled slightly. After a long hesitation, he finally spoke, "Are you... are you divorcing Father?"
Li Yue Shu froze, then noticed an opened letter on the bedside table, which was the divorce letter she intended to give Shen Wei.
She had long expected that the children would find out about this, and she had thought of many ways to break the news, but she never expected A Wen to discover it in this way.
After a moment of silence, Li Yue Shu seemed to make up her mind.
She put down the towel she was using to dry her hair and sat by the bed, "That's right. I don't intend to have an amicable separation with your father; I intend to divorce him."
