It was already late at night when I returned home.

After a simple wash, Fang Shiwan lay down on the bed.

"Miss, it's bad. The master has gone to the mistress's yard."

"what happened?"

"I don't know. I just brought some snacks to Madam. As soon as I walked out of the door, I saw the master angrily going to Madam's yard. After a while, I heard them quarreling."

Fang Shiwan hurried away.

Zi Yue took a shawl from the side and put it on Fang Shi Wan, "It's cold at night, Miss, don't catch a cold."

"Ms. Zhou, as the eldest lady and the housekeeper, the mansion is in such a state now, are you going to sit back and do nothing?"

"So what?" Zhou frowned.

"Hasn't your brother given you a lot of money these days? Now that your family is in trouble, you can give them some money first, and when the crisis is over, you can take the money back."

Minister Fang didn't dare to look Zhou in the eye.

Zhou chuckled, "Fang Zhengxiang, you are so shameless. You used my dowry before, and now you are asking me to help you with the family expenses. Have I ever enjoyed the treatment that a mistress should have in the past ten years?"

"At the beginning you said you would only marry me, but look at you now. You have many wives and concubines in your house, and your concubine's daughter is bullying my daughter. And you still want to use my money?"

"Who gave you face?"

Minister Fang clenched his fists and said, "Zhou, don't think that just because your family has a few stinky bucks, you are great. If it weren't for the difficulties in your family now, would I be like this?"

"I'm not taking it from you. I'm just asking you, the mistress, to help me with the expenses first, and I'll pay you back later."

Zhou crossed her arms and said, "If that's the case, then why do you need me to help you? This filthy money is not something a civil servant like you can enjoy."

"you--"

Minister Fang was furious.

Come to think of it, it all started with my daughter coming back to life.

"Now that my daughter has been granted marriage to King Qi, have you ever thought about her? If she is looked down upon by King Qi after she marries, do you really think it will be a good thing?"

"Prince Qi will also have concubines in the future. The family of a principal wife is not as good as that of a concubine. Who will look up to her? Her life will be even more difficult then."

"What is the royal family? They are all noble people."

Sure enough, after Minister Fang finished speaking, Zhou immediately fell silent.

Seeing her like this, Minister Fang had already guessed that she ignored the years of marital affection and only cared about her daughter. Her daughter was her weak spot.

"Mom, what are you doing?"

Just as Zhou was hesitating, Fang Shiwan's voice interrupted their conversation.

Minister Fang thought to himself that this was not good, the god of bad luck had arrived.

"It's late. Go back. I have something to discuss with your mother."

"Really, mother?" Fang Shiwan raised his eyes and walked to Zhou with a smile.

Zhou gently took Fang Shiwan's hand and said, "Yes, I have something to say to your father."

"Your father asked me to subsidize the family. If I don't, you will have a hard time living a happy life when you marry Prince Qi."

Zhou paused, looking bright and cheerful.

"Your father said that you are the legitimate daughter of the Shangshu Mansion and will marry Prince Qi in the future. If you don't live a decent life now, the other concubines in Prince Qi's Mansion will definitely bully you in the future."

"Then you will fall from grace."

Ye Xin was in the dark, listening to the conversation between several people, and then disappeared.

"Mother, it doesn't matter. Prince Qi doesn't favor me, but I love him deeply. Anyway, I am Prince Qi's principal wife. With this status, who in the mansion would disrespect me?"

"Dad, will you? If I get married and return home in the future, will you bully me because I am not favored?"

Fang Shiwan stared at the man in front of him with a cunning look in his eyes.

Minister Fang stood still unnaturally and said, "Of course I won't."

Fang Shiwan chuckled, "Yeah, as long as Daddy doesn't do it, that's enough. The others can do whatever they want!"

Minister Fang: ??? That’s not the case. He wanted to scare her.

As a mother, Zhou naturally did not want to see her daughter suffer like this. In addition, she had met Prince Qi several times and had a good impression of him.

"Wan'er, how can this be possible? Mother wants you to get married, but she also wants you to be a happy one."

"Mother." Fang Shiwan leaned on Zhou's shoulder, "My husband is an outsider, and only mother is my own. Shiwan doesn't want to get married, she just wants to stay with mother."

After hearing this, Minister Fang was furious.

What does this rebellious girl mean? How dare she sow discord between him and Zhou in front of her?

"Fang Shiwan, you have grown stronger now, right?"

"Why are you trying to sow discord between me and your mother?"

"Do I have it?" Fang Shiwan stood up straight, "Mom, do I have it?"

"No, Wan'er." Zhou patted her, "My husband is an outsider."

"Zhou, don't push your luck. You are my wife now, so just stay in this yard obediently."

"Don't even think about escaping in this life."

"The family is in financial difficulty right now, so hurry up and give me some money, or I will divorce you."

Minister Fang was so angry that his eyes widened and his fists clenched.

"Okay!"

"The master has said several times that he wants to divorce me. Today, let's divorce!"

"What?" Minister Fang's face was full of disbelief.

"I said divorce!"

Zhou emphasized loudly again.

This made the servants who were cleaning the area feel guilty.

Fang Shiwan was also frightened by her mother. She didn't expect that her mother wanted to divorce so soon.

After all, her grandmothers had advised her for a long time before, but she had never wavered.

"Zhou, are you crazy?"

Minister Fang's eyes widened, he had never thought about divorce, he just wanted to force her to take out some money to ease the tension in his house.

“I know exactly what I’m doing.”

"Fang Zhengxiang, you insult your daughter again and again. Doesn't that mean you don't like her?"

"She has been walking on thin ice these years, but you favored your concubine and almost caused her to die tragically."

"She finally survived, but you pushed her even further and kicked her out of the house."

"On the one hand, you look down on my mother's family's money, and on the other hand, you want me to subsidize the family. You are such a heartless person, you deserve to live alone for the rest of your life!"

Zhou then walked into the house, took out the divorce documents that had been prepared long ago, and threw them in Minister Fang's face.

"As you wish, sign!"

Minister Fang took the divorce letter off his face and placed it in front of himself, with an expression of disbelief.

"Ms. Zhou, our marriage was granted by the Empress Dowager. Without her decree, you want to divorce based on this piece of paper?"

"Haha, dreaming!"

"In this life, you will be a member of my family when you are alive and a ghost of my family when you die."

Minister Fang was so angry that he tore up the divorce agreement in front of Zhou.

Looking at the confetti flying all over the sky, Fang Shiwan was stunned.

"Mother, when did you write the divorce letter? How come your daughter doesn't know about it?"

Zhou's eyes were red, she was angry at herself for being blind to fall in love with such a man.

He used to be gentle and caring, but now he was irritable and even embezzled her money.

"Wan'er, follow your mother into the palace—"
