The Sickly Regent Prince Who Was Abandoned as a Substitute Bride

Chapter 202 Dongfang Wan'er is not Dongfang Zheng's biological daughter!

Lu Wanning looked coldly at Dongfang Zheng and said, "Dongfang Zheng, our marriage is over. Let's get a divorce as soon as possible. If you don't agree, I will go to the palace today to see the Emperor and let him decide. Let's see what His Majesty has to say about what you've done!"

"Hmph, Dongfang Zheng, since that's how it is, you and Wan Ning should get a divorce! Otherwise, I'll go and see the Emperor myself!"

Looking at Lu Wanning's attitude towards Dongfang Zheng today, Lu Yanchen, who was standing to the side, realized that she did not value Lu Wanning. Not valuing Lu Wanning meant that she did not cherish her own daughter. It would be better if they divorced!

"Wan Ning, stop making trouble!" Dongfang Zheng's face was dark, clearly he had reached his limit!

"Dongfang Zheng, we must get a divorce today!" Lu Yanchen was even more furious when he saw Dongfang Zheng give his daughter a cold shoulder in front of him! ...And who knows how he treats his daughter normally!

“Father, I really didn’t cause any trouble…” Lu Wan Ning’s eyes were red and brimming with tears, her voice trembling slightly. “Since I married into the Dongfang family, has Dongfang Zheng ever treated me as his wife? You’ve seen his behavior firsthand, Father. Now, I only want a divorce from him. I beg you to grant my request.”

Looking at Lu Wanning, whose face was streaked with tears yet remained resolute, Lu Yanchen felt a pang of pain in his heart. He knew that his daughter had suffered countless injustices over the years.

"Alright, Father agrees. Dongfang Zheng, you two quickly sign the divorce papers. From now on, you will be separate and have no further connection." Lu Yanchen turned to Dongfang Zheng, his eyes filled with authority as he spoke.

Dongfang gritted his teeth, thinking to himself: Anyway, Lu Wanning has lost her usefulness now, so let's get a divorce! With that thought, he finally nodded helplessly and agreed.

"Fine, I agree. Bring me the divorce papers!" Dongfang Zheng said through gritted teeth.

Lu Wanning smiled slightly, a hint of relief flashing in her eyes. She took out a pre-prepared divorce agreement from her bosom and handed it to Dongfang Zheng.

Dongfang Zheng took the divorce papers, signed his name on them without hesitation, and then threw them to Lu Wanning.

And so, the matter of Lu Wanning and Dongfang Zhenghe's divorce was settled.

However, at this moment, Dongfang Zheng suddenly spoke up: "Wait, since you've already divorced, then take Dongfang Wan'er with you as well. She's not my daughter!" His voice was cold and resolute.

Upon hearing this, Lu Wanning's eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at Dongfang Zheng. Her lips trembled as she said, "What... Dongfang Zheng, what nonsense are you spouting! Although our marriage is over, you can't slander my innocence like this!"

Lu Wanning trembled slightly with anger; she hadn't expected Dongfang Zheng to say such a thing at this moment.

"You bastard Dongfang Zheng, you've divorced my sister, and now you're slandering her!"

Lu Qingmo's eyes widened in anger, and he drew his sword from his waist, pointing it at Dongfang Zheng. His face was filled with rage and dissatisfaction.

Lu Chengfeng quickly stopped Lu Qingmo and advised, "Qingmo, don't be impulsive!" He turned to look at Dongfang Zheng, his eyes filled with a hint of authority and questioning.

"Lord Dongfang, you and my younger sister are now divorced. Please watch your words. Our Zhenguo Duke's Mansion is not without its faults!"

Lu Chengfeng looked at Dongfang Zheng, waiting to see what he was about to say, otherwise...

Dongfang Zhengjian saw the Lu family members glaring at him angrily, and sneered inwardly!

"Heh, since that's the case, everyone come inside with me to talk. I'm sure none of you want to be overheard by anyone!"

Dongfang Wan'er watched all this with a cold eye. She had long suspected her own background. Otherwise, how could someone as shrewd as Dongfang Zheng dote on Dongfang Mingzhu? Logically speaking, she, as the legitimate daughter, should be more useful!

"Alright, Mother, let's go in and see what Lord Dongfang has to say!"

Dongfang Wan'er spoke softly, her voice slightly hoarse, but her tone firm. She knew she had to face everything to find the real answer.

Dongfang Wan'er's words caused everyone present to fall silent for a moment, and then she took the lead and walked towards the Dongfang residence. Lu Wanning and the others followed closely behind.

Upon entering the Dongfang residence, everyone saw Dongfang sitting in the main seat, his face expressionless.

“Wan’er…” Lu Wan Ning looked at her daughter, her heart filled with heartache. She knew that this news was too heavy for Dongfang Wan’er, and as her mother, she could not bear this pain for her daughter.

"Mother, Wan'er is fine. But you, please don't overthink it!" Dongfang Wan'er forced a smile as she comforted her mother.

"Yes, Mother knows." Lu Wanning wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and forced a smile.

Dongfang Zheng watched them walk in with a cold gaze, his eyes devoid of any emotion.

He picked up his teacup, took a small sip, then set it down, and said calmly, "Dongfang Wan'er is indeed not my daughter. My daughter died sixteen years ago on that night!"

His voice was so cold it seemed devoid of any emotion, sending chills down one's spine. After saying this, Dongfang Zheng picked up his teacup and drank again, seemingly unconcerned about the reactions of others.

"Back then, Lu Wanning and I had a very good relationship, but who knew that Lu Wanning would have a difficult childbirth and would die shortly after giving birth to a baby girl. Coincidentally, a baby girl appeared at the back door that very night, and that is now Dongfang Wan'er!" Dongfang Zheng looked at Lu Wanning with a solemn expression, his tone tinged with regret.

"What? Impossible... I don't believe it!" Lu Wanning's eyes widened, her face filled with disbelief. She gripped Dongfang Zheng's hand tightly, her body trembling slightly.

"That's the truth. If you don't believe me, I can meet the midwife who delivered you back then, as well as the nannies who served you. They all know the truth!" A resolute glint flashed in Dongfang Zheng's eyes. He knew that this news was too shocking for Lu Wanning, but he had to tell her the truth.

Subsequently, the midwife who delivered the baby that year was also summoned by Dongfang Zheng, and the story was exactly the same as what Dongfang Zheng had told her! Only then did Lu Wanning believe what Dongfang Zheng had said!

Lu Wanning looked at Dongfang Wan'er with a guilty expression, tears blurring her vision. She reached out a trembling hand and stroked Dongfang Wan'er's cheek, her voice choked with sobs, and said, "Wan'er, it's all my fault. No matter if you are my biological daughter or not, you are still my daughter!"

At this moment, Dongfang Wan'er felt relieved. No wonder Dongfang Zheng favored Dongfang Mingzhu so much in his previous life; it turned out that there was such a story hidden behind it.

A sense of relief welled up inside her, as if the mystery that had been troubling her had finally been solved. Now that the truth was out, she felt an inexplicable ease.

She smiled slightly, her eyes sparkling with understanding, and said softly, "Mother, it's alright, I don't care about these things. No matter what, you will always be my mother, and the bond between us will never change."

Lu Wanning was moved to tears by Dongfang Wan'er's words. She hugged Dongfang Wan'er tightly, feeling the deep mother-daughter bond between them.

"I wish I wasn't your daughter! This is wonderful! Hurry up and remove my name from your Dongfang family's genealogy! This is wonderful!" Dongfang Wan'er felt a surge of joy, and a smile appeared on her face before turning into a loud laugh.

She was overjoyed that she wasn't Dongfang Zheng's biological daughter, meaning she wouldn't have to put up with their mistreatment anymore.

"Now, let you despicable fellows taste the wrath of me, Dongfang Wan'er!" Thinking of this, Dongfang Wan'er felt extremely relieved, and she decided to no longer suppress her emotions.

Previously, Dongfang Wan'er had been mindful of her father-daughter relationship with Dongfang Zheng and dared not act too recklessly. But now that she knew the truth, she had no more scruples. She would make those who had bullied her pay the price.

"Hmph, your name isn't even on the Dongfang family's genealogy!" Dongfang Zheng sneered, his face terribly gloomy, his eyes flashing with anger.

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Wan'er's lips curled into a slight, disdainful smile: "Perfect, we'll move out of the Dongfang residence tonight..."

After saying that, she turned to the maid beside her and instructed, "Quickly pack your things, we're leaving this place tonight!"

Upon receiving the order, the maids immediately sprang into action, beginning to pack their belongings. Meanwhile, Dongfang Wan'er stood aside, coldly observing the reactions of Dongfang Zheng and the others.

"Don't move these things! These are my things! Don't move them!" Wang Yu panicked when she saw a group of people rushing into her yard and starting to move her things.
