Scumbag Falls for Fiance After Breaking Engagement(ABO)

Chapter 61 The Power of Mother

　"Mother, you really should control my cousin." Shen Liangyue and Madam Shen were sitting in the garden of the Duke's Mansion. The morning breeze was blowing the budding roses. He pressed the corners of his mouth with a napkin. "He has not changed his bad habits since he ascended the throne. He is even harassing the clergy!"

　　Mrs. Shen smiled as she held her coffee. She flipped open the newspaper on the table and couldn't help but exclaimed, "This guy is divorced again! How many times has this happened?"

　　Shen Liangyue leaned over to take a look. The newspaper used the entire front page to report the news of the empire's richest man's divorce. He was shocked and said, "'...Mr. Lu ended his seventh marriage yesterday'. He was divorced seven times! Do you know the richest man?"

　　"Of course I know him," Mrs. Shen blinked like a girl, "He can be said to be my...first love."

　　Shen Liangyue looked at his mother in surprise. He had always thought that his loving parents only had each other. It was not until today that he found out that Mrs. Shen actually had a "first love"!

　　"Baby, maybe the love between your father and I gave you an illusion that we were the only ones in each other's feelings. In fact, there is no such perfect thing. Perfect love and marriage only exist in stories." Mrs. Shen took Shen Liangyue's hand and said softly: "Your father and I did live a happy life, but before we got married, he had other girlfriends. As for me..."

　　She smiled smugly and charmingly, "It's no exaggeration to say that the people chasing after your mother line up from here to the palace."

　　"I met Mr. Lu at a dance. I was only sixteen at the time, and he was so handsome that it was hard to describe," Mrs. Shen pointed to the photo in the newspaper and said with a bit of regret, "Alas, he really looks old now."

　　"...Why aren't you together?"

　　"Because I know that what I need is a stable and loyal marriage, and he is a man who can get divorced seven times."

　　Shen Liangyue whispered: "Maybe if you were together, he wouldn't have divorced seven times..."

　　"I don't deny that it's possible, but I don't want to gamble. The reason why I'm always happy, in addition to my noble birth and good luck, is that I know clearly what I want." Mrs. Shen looked at her beloved child and said slowly: "Obviously, I made the right choice. I can mention him without any regrets now, and I don't have any regrets in my heart - but if I still feel sad and regretful when I think of him, then I made the wrong choice."

　　Mrs. Shen held her son's hand with her soft palm, as gentle and patient as when she held the hand of young Shen Liangyue to learn to walk.

　　Heart, "Baby, can you understand what your mother is saying?"

　　People are so unpredictable and hard to grasp. Even someone as familiar as your parents can surprise you unexpectedly at some point. Shen Liangyue suddenly realized that his mother was much more powerful than he had imagined. She was a real princess and lived like a princess all her life, but real life is not a fairy tale. Only the most realistic people can retain their innocence to the greatest extent.

　　"Mom, why are you suddenly saying this..."

　　"Your cousin told me something. I went to the Earl's salon yesterday." Mrs. Shen paused, resting her hand on her chin, looking at her son and said, "...He is quite popular."

　　Shen Liangyue bit her lip lightly and remained silent.

　　"So when I saw the newspaper just now, I was thinking - if today's newspaper contained the news that Mingfeng was getting married to someone else, would you be sad?"
