Wang Suqin clenched her fists and her voice trembled.

"Then...does the Taoist have a way to crack it?"

Taoist Zhang Zheng sighed softly and stroked his beard.

"There is only one way to break the spell, which is to make this girl break off her relationship with the Marquis' Mansion as soon as possible. Otherwise, after half a month, the evil spirit will haunt her and drag the entire Marquis' Mansion into an irretrievable situation."

Wang Suqin turned even paler with fright, and her heart was filled with horror.

Half a month?

Doesn't that mean that all her plans will come to nothing?

Fetching water from a bamboo basket is all in vain?

Taoist Zhang Zheng pondered for a moment, his tone solemn.

"Madam, this matter needs to be decided immediately. Don't hesitate."

Zheng Kaifeng was standing aside, recalling Sun Yarong's advice, and hurried forward to comfort his mother.

"Mother, life is more important than anything else!"

Although Wang Suqin was extremely unwilling, seeing her son's dejected look, she could only grit her teeth and nodded reluctantly.

"Okay, I'll listen to your advice."

After seeing off Taoist Zhang Zheng, Wang Suqin immediately ordered her servants to call Liu Qianyu over.

After a while, Liu Qianyu appeared in front of everyone.

She held the colorful rooster leisurely, followed by a dozen guards.

She walked into the house with light steps and calmness, as if everything was under control.

When Wang Suqin saw this scene, she felt a fishy and sweet taste rising up her throat, and she could hardly suppress the anger and resentment in her heart.

This bitch, holding this cock every day, she is trying to curse my son to death!

She glared at Liu Qianyu, her voice sharp and piercing.

"You jinx, you still have the nerve to hold this rooster and come to see me!"

Liu Qianyu gently patted the rooster in her arms, calmly and without any emotion, which made her so angry that she could die.

"I am just following etiquette. This rooster is my husband, and I am bringing it here out of respect for my mother-in-law."

Wang Suqin sneered, with disgust in her eyes not concealed at all.

"I can't afford your respect! Ever since you married into our family, disasters have been raging in our mansion!"

"I am too lazy to waste my words with you today. Either you leave your dowry voluntarily in exchange for a divorce, or you wait to be kicked out of the house with a divorce letter!"

Liu Qianyu remained calm and spoke in a firm tone.

"I have no objection to the divorce, but my dowry must be taken away intact."

Wang Suqin sneered even more.

"Then divorce your wife!"

Liu Qianyu spoke indifferently, and every word was like a cold wind blowing across the lake.

"According to the Laws of the Holy Red Flame Dynasty, there are three things a woman cannot do with her husband: if she has taken something and has nowhere to return it, she cannot do so; if she has been in mourning for three years, she cannot do so; if she was poor before and has become rich later, she cannot do so."

"A daughter-in-law, if she happens to be in possession of the principal wife and has no natal home to return to, cannot be divorced. If the husband's family was poor or lowly when they married, and later became rich or noble, the husband and mother-in-law cannot divorce her for any reason. These two points."

"Moreover, the law clearly stipulates that when a divorce is made, the woman's dowry should belong to her. My father has already filed the dowry details with the government. Does the mother-in-law want to sue in court?"

Murong Dize, the rooster held in his arms, recalled the strong recommendation and proposal made by Sun Ming, the chief of Dali Temple, when the law was first compiled.

"Men have seven grounds for divorcing their wives: disobedience to parents, adultery, jealousy, serious illness, talkativeness, and theft. I suggest adding the three grounds for divorce to provide protection for the women of Yanhuang Nation."

Murong Dize nodded proudly.

Fortunately, I am a wise ruler and adopted his suggestion.

Well, I will promote Chang Sunming tomorrow.

"you you……"

Wang Suqin's fingers were trembling, and she couldn't utter a complete sentence for a long time.

She never expected that this seemingly weak daughter of a merchant would be so knowledgeable about the law and force her into a corner with no way out.

A smug smile appeared on Liu Qianyu's lips, with a hint of sarcasm in that smile.

"Mother-in-law, while I am in a good mood now, I can still agree to take away the dowry and divorce. If I miss this opportunity."

"Then I will stay and kill you all! In the end, not only will the dowry be mine, but also the entire mansion and everything you have will belong to me! Hahaha~"

Murong Dize, the rooster held in his arms, turned his head blankly and stared with jaws wide open at Liu Qianyu, who was smiling arrogantly but looking extremely beautiful.

what?

Can you do this?

Zheng Kaifeng, who was standing aside, remembered Sun Yarong's persuasion, and looked at his mother, whose face was distorted by anger, and finally sighed.

"Mother, think about what the Taoist said. We really can't afford to waste time. Let's just do as she says."

Wang Suqin glared at her son fiercely, but finally compromised helplessly.

She clenched her teeth and squeezed out a few words.

"Okay, very good! Sign the divorce agreement now and get out of here today!"

Liu Qianyu smiled, as if she had already expected such an outcome.

Qi Yue, who was standing beside him, took out the divorce papers that he had prepared long ago.

They also thoughtfully provided the prepared writing brush, ink, paper, inkstone and ink pad.

Zheng Kaifeng took it, read it, wrote his name on it and pressed his fingerprint.

Afterwards, Liu Qianyu also signed her name in duplicate, and the two parties formally reached a divorce agreement.

After signing the divorce papers, Liu Qianyu turned around and left.

Wang Suqin was so angry that she almost died when she thought about how much effort she had put in, but in the end she only had a few years left to live.

She gasped for air and could only watch.

Liu Qianyu brought with her the priceless dowry and the colorful rooster.

In full view of everyone, he left calmly.

"Host, Sun Yarong has contracted syphilis. The symptoms will show up soon, and Zheng Kaifeng won't live for many years."

Liu Qianyu was walking on the road, and Xiao Ling's excited voice came to her mind.

Liu Qianyu smiled indifferently.

It saves me the trouble of using the Elixir of No Succession Pill.

"Xiao Ling, I will have someone send this rooster back to the forest in a moment. You will then cancel the emperor's plan to have the rooster sleep in his dreams."

"Eh? Host, you don't want to continue playing?"

Xiao Ling hasn’t seen enough!

"Before, I was still a married man, and this emperor is an orthodox emperor who is deeply influenced by the concept of etiquette. Being too aggressive will only backfire. This transition is just to give him some time to adapt."

"Now that we have reconciled, we can start without any scruples. If necessary in the future, I will activate the Ru Meng Dan and meet him in my dreams."

"I hold a rooster in my arms every day, which is tiring and heavy. It's really inconvenient and ridiculous."

After hearing this, Xiao Ling felt helpless towards her willful host.

Liu Qianyu gently stroked the rooster's colorful feathers and whispered softly.

"Little one, now that I've divorced you, you're no longer my husband."

"Our fate has come to an end. You will return to the mountains and forests. From now on, you are free. May you be well in that world."

The rooster shook its head gently, as if wanting to struggle, but then closed its eyes and fell asleep.
