Lord Zhu and his wife were also sitting in the hall, looking solemn. Lord Zhu had a frown on his face, and it was obvious that he had heard about the Sun family's affairs.

He raised his eyes to look at Madam Sun, and his tone revealed a trace of unquestionable: "While the situation is not yet completely clear, you need to find Sun Che as soon as possible to sign the divorce agreement and the children's severance agreement. The children will be members of my Zhu family in the future and will no longer have any connection with the Sun family. This will ensure that their future will not be affected."

Mrs. Sun was stunned. She had never thought that her family would be so determined to cut off ties with the Sun family.

She said hesitantly, "Brother, mother, is it necessary to be so cruel? Although the Sun family is in decline, they are still the children's grandparents. Wouldn't it be too cruel to sever the relationship?"

Seeing his sister so naive, Master Zhu couldn't help but sneer, with a bit of disdain on his face: "Do you still think this is a trivial matter? Do you know who planned this disaster?"

Madam Sun was stunned and shook her head in confusion.

Lord Zhu sighed softly, his voice low but full of meaning: "It was Prince Gu who pushed this. He and Chu Yunfei secretly planned to expose the embezzlement of public funds, and even put pressure behind the scenes, so that Chu Yunfei could quickly impeach the Sun family. Do you really think this was a coincidence that the court found out? Prince Gu took action just to vent his anger for his new wife."

When Madam Sun heard the name, her head buzzed and her whole body froze, with shock in her eyes.

She couldn't imagine that the always patient prince would retaliate in such a decisive way, and all this was because of the difficulties the Sixth Madam and the Third House had caused to Lin Ruoxuan!

She whispered dully, "But...it was the Sixth Madam who bullied Lin Ruoxuan. The Sixth Madam was only able to do so because of the Third Madam..."

Master Zhu looked at his sister's reaction, sneered and shook his head, saying helplessly: "You are still so confused! Since Prince Gu has taken action, how could he only attack one person?"

"The Sixth and Third Madams are trying to be smart and make things difficult for his new wife. If Prince Gu doesn't target the Sun family, will he target the Zhenguo Mansion?"

Madam Zhu sighed softly, walked up to her, and said in a serious tone: "If you still want to protect the children, you should cut off your relationship with the Sun family as soon as possible. There is still room for maneuver now, so don't let the children's reputation be ruined and their future be ruined."

Mrs. Sun's eyes were slightly red, and she nodded blankly, feeling sad in her heart.

She knew she had no choice. At this point, for the sake of her child's future, severing the relationship was the only way out.

Seeing that she was finally touched, Lord Zhu said softly, "Regarding the matter of breaking off the engagement and the divorce, we should first communicate clearly with Old Madam Sun so that everyone in the Sun family knows what's going on. There's no need to make it too embarrassing. After all, the children are innocent, and we don't want them to have a bad reputation because of this."

Madam Sun took a deep breath, gritted her teeth, and managed to calm down. She said with a choked but firm voice, "Okay, brother, I understand. I will discuss it with the Sun family as soon as possible and try to resolve this matter as soon as possible."

Lord Zhu nodded and said calmly: "I will arrange for someone to escort you to see Sun Che and ensure that everything goes smoothly. This should be done as soon as possible. If there is any accident, I am afraid that the children will be more implicated."

Madam Sun nodded silently, but she couldn't resist.

Following the information she had obtained, Mrs. Sun came to the dilapidated house where the Sun family was temporarily residing.

The former Earl's Mansion has been sealed off, and the Sun family now looks extremely desolate.

She stood at the door, took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and pushed the door open.

The house was dark and run-down, with old furniture.

Old Madam Sun was sitting nearby with a distraught look in her eyes, while the Sixth Madam was comforting her in a low voice, also looking quite haggard.

However, when they saw Madam Sun push the door open, a hint of unexpected joy appeared on their faces, as if they saw a glimmer of hope.

The Sixth Madam forced a smile, walked forward eagerly, and said with some expectation: "You are here? Are you here to help us? I have already asked the Duke of Zhenguo for help. In a few days, my brother will be released. You just need to wait a little while, and everything will be fine!"

When Mrs. Sun heard this, she felt like she was listening to a joke.

She coldly glanced at the mess in the house, with a sarcastic smile on her lips, and said in a cold tone: "Sister, you are so naive. Even if the Duke of Zhenguo can save the master, can he save your entire Sun family? The Zhu family has already found out the whole story of this matter, and it was the prince who pushed it behind the scenes. Do you think there is hope? I'm afraid there is no way out."

When Old Madam Sun and Sixth Madam heard this, they looked at each other, with a hint of uneasiness and fear in their expressions.

Madam Six pretended to be calm and defended herself, "No, the Duke of Zhenguo is related to the Sun family anyway, he won't sit idly by."

Madam Sun looked at them so stubbornly and couldn't help shaking her head and sneering, her eyes full of disdain: "Why should the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion stand up for the Sun family?"

"For the sake of his wife, Prince Gu has long regarded the Sun family as a thorn in his side. How could he let you go? If you had known better, you should have been more law-abiding. Big sister, why did you go and provoke the new bride for no reason? You got into trouble and still thought you were so high and mighty. Now that you have fallen to this point, have you ever regretted it?"

The Sixth Madam's face turned pale and her lips trembled for a moment, but she was speechless.

Madam Sun looked grim, holding her chest and panting violently, and asked in a trembling voice, "Why did you come here today?"

Madam Sun looked at them coldly, without a trace of pity in her heart, and said in a cold voice: "I am here to sever ties with you. The Sun family is now doomed and has become a laughing stock in the entire capital. I will never let my children sink with you."

"Either you agree to the divorce agreement immediately and let my child escape from the Sun family's den of danger, or I will go back and ask the Zhu family to take action and I will never let you off easily."

Madam Sun was shocked and her face turned pale. She forced herself to sit up straight and said in a trembling voice, "How could you do this? How could you just break up like that?"

Madam Sun remained unmoved and replied coldly, "Yes, I am the daughter-in-law of the Sun family, but how have they ever really treated me and my children as family? Over the years, the Sun family has always favored concubines and even allowed them to bully me and my children. Now that you have fallen to this point, it is entirely your own fault. Don't expect me to suffer with you again!"

Seeing Madam Sun's resolute attitude, the Sixth Madam begged in a panic and sobbing voice: "Please help us for the sake of our relationship. Now we are the only orphans and widows left in the family..."

Madam Sun smiled coldly, her eyes were cold and ruthless: "Feelings? I don't have any feelings at all. If you sign obediently, I am willing to let the children remember this blood relationship. Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Madam Sun could no longer hold on. She felt a sharp pain in her heart, her body suddenly leaned back, and she fainted on the spot.
