The Shi family's side was straightforward.
Master Yuan was dumbstruck.
'Does Father-in-Law mean divorce?
'We've been living harmoniously for years, and he's asking for a divorce just because of this?
'It's just a rumor. How could he add insult to injury now!?'
The Shi family had been meaning to do that, but the Yuan family did not have a secondary family. Yuan Muting's father had some connections in the imperial court. Thus, if they were to divorce, both families would become enemies. It would not be a pleasant situation.
Moreover, they had known nothing much about the Yuan family back then.
However, they had been under the impression their daughter was close with Yuan Muting's only child since she had raised him despite failing to bear a child. They had decided to forget about it.
