Chapter 1456: Chapter 1394: Seeking Recognition
Regarding Old Madam Wu’s tactic to change the subject, Wufu glanced at her with a half-smile, and that mocking look made Old Madam Wu’s face burn with embarrassnt.
Wufu casually glanced at Madam Wang, knowing she would have her day of reckoning, so she was in no hurry to settle accounts now.
"If it weren’t for Lord Wu reappearing in Huayang, my mother and I wouldn’t have known he was still alive and well." Wufu spoke calmly, "Originally, we stayed out of each other’s way, in different parts of the world, not disturbing each other. But now, I’m sure the Old Madam knows, there have been so unfavorable rumors about us recently."
As she spoke, her gaze swept over to where Madam Wang was.
Madam Wang stiffened all over, clutching her hands tightly.
"Everyone’s saying my mother is a concubine, and I am the child from concubinage, but we all know who’s been spreading these rumors!" Wufu exclaid, "Oh yes, the young master of your esteed residence specifically ca to make trouble for our family, all because he listened to such talk, right!"
At the ntion of the unfortunate Wu Guanyu, several people’s faces turned dark.
"Old Madam Wu, I would like to ask, based on this, are my mother and I concubines without legal status?" Wufu again raised the marriage certificate in her hand.
Old Madam Wu replied with a stern face, "My son married without informing us..."
"Spare
that excuse. Even if he married without informing, he still married, maybe he presud you were dead before making his own decision! He signed this marriage certificate, and it is officially recorded in governnt archives." Wufu chuckled.
"What!"
The crowd was stunned.
"The marriage certificate was signed and filed, no one can say my mother isn’t legitimate, right? As for Lord Wu, having entered into a marriage contract with one woman but marrying another, tsk tsk, that’s fraud and bigamy on his part!"
Madam Wang’s teeth chattered with anxiety.
"What do you want?" Old Madam Wu asked through gritted teeth.
Wufu shot her a sidelong glance and said, "Who doesn’t care about their reputation? My mom and I, as won, need it too. My demand is simple: we want our na cleared!"
Madam Zhou’s heart trembled, her eyes gradually reddening.
"My mom and I, we aren’t the concubines you think, and I’m not the illegitimate daughter born of concubinage. I ask Lord Wu to cooperate and clear our na, and this marriage certificate will be returned to you, no, nullified!" Wufu cast a sidelong glance at Wu Lihong.
To clear their na!
"What do you an by this? Clearing your na also ans telling the world you belong to the Wu Family!" Old Madam Wu was montarily bewildered, wasn’t this implicitly acknowledging the family lineage?
"We do not acknowledge the family lineage. Lord Wu should go to the Yan with my mother for a legal separation, nullifying this marriage certificate. We’re willing to cooperate with Lord Wu’s explanation, claiming you thought we had passed away before marrying another. We seek no fault, rely the quiet life of the past, hence seeking separation from you, resulting in each going their separate ways, having nothing to do with one another." Wufu laid out her demands.
Once Wu Lihong goes to the Yan to legally separate from Madam Zhou, everyone would know he married Madam Zhou first, then Madam Wang. The rightful legitimacy would be clear.
And the underlying point, was implicit: see how magnanimous we are, not holding anything over you, but wanting nothing to do with you, hence the separation. So might say that Wufu and her mother are being arrogant and assertive, but Wufu doesn’t care. She only cares about breaking free from the Wu Family, with no relation at all.
"No! I won’t agree to this!" Madam Wang stood up.
If it goes this way, doesn’t it an she’ll beco the secondary wife? That can’t happen; she is the original legitimate wife. How could she beco secondary? Where would she put her pride, where would her children’s pride go, how would they face others in the future?
