Joe's father also agreed:

"Yes, if you give Yuan Ge'er to her, she will definitely agree!"

Now they no longer dared to think that they could use Yuan Ge'er to gain benefits from the Qin family after the divorce.

Nothing is more important than my son's future.

How could their teachers and friends really concentrate on their studies when they were subjected to such terrible torture every day?

What's more, she always took advantage of her teachers and friends. If she became disabled, her future would be ruined.

The next day, seeing Zhenniang coming over, Father Qiao said humbly:

"Daughter-in-law, I know you want to divorce your teacher, but you can't bear to part with Yuan Ge'er. We agree to give Yuan Ge'er to you. Can you please let your teacher go?"

Fearing that she would vent her anger on Teacher Qiao again, Qiao didn't dare to speak up in person this time, and her father did it instead.

However, when Zhenniang heard this, she didn't even pause, but raised her eyebrows and rushed towards Qiao Shiyou with great momentum. Without saying anything, she slapped Qiao Shiyou in the face, knocking him to the ground, and cursed with her hands on her waist:

"Okay, Mr. Qiao, I'm doing this for your own good, but now you don't even want my son anymore and you insist on divorcing me! You're really becoming more and more crazy and hopeless!"

"Come here, bring a rope. I must teach him a thought-provoking lesson today!"

So, Teacher Qiao was tied up again.

This time, Zhenniang didn't even use an embroidery needle to torture him. Instead, she directly covered his mouth and nose with a piece of white paper and poured water on him.

Before long, Teacher Qiao was about to suffocate and began to struggle desperately.

However, Zhenniang sat on him and held him down so tightly that he couldn't even turn over, let alone get rid of the paper on his mouth and nose that was blocking his breathing.

Qiao's father and mother were very anxious and begged:

"Niang Zhen! Please don't torture him like this, he's going to suffocate to death!"

Zhenniang turned back and looked at the two of them impatiently:

"Shut up! It's so noisy!"

The servants understood what he meant and tied up and gagged the two men again, forcing them to watch.

Soon, Teacher Qiao's face turned purple and he started rolling his eyes. Only then did Zhenniang slowly remove the paper from his face.

Teacher Qiao was breathing hard and deeply.

When he recovered, Zhenniang covered his mouth and nose with the paper again.

The torture of suffocation and near-death happened again.

This happened over ten times until Master Qiao fainted completely, and only then did Zhenniang show mercy and let him go.

This time, when Qiao woke up, he burst into tears and begged his parents:

"Dad, Mom! Please! Help me get a divorce! No matter what the cost, I want a divorce! Otherwise, she will kill me one day!"

They all understood that doing it for his own good was just an excuse, and Qin Zhenniang just wanted to torture him in various ways.

She would never let him go easily unless she got enough benefits.

"We said we would give Yuan Ge'er to her, but she still refused to agree. What else can we do?"

Mother Qiao said helplessly.

Teacher Qiao thought very clearly:

"Yes, compensate her for her dowry. She must be mad at us for spending her dowry!"

Hearing this, both Qiao's father and mother were in a dilemma:

"Then...how much compensation will it cost? How can we afford to pay her so much?"

The deficit filled by Zhenniang is probably about seven or eight thousand taels now.

Teacher Qiao gritted his teeth and said:

"I'll sell all the gifts I received when I passed the imperial examination, including my house, shop, and land, to give her back! Mother, give her your dowry as well!"

After all, Qiao Shiyou’s great-grandfather was a prefect, and his ancestors had left some family assets.

However, many of them are fixed assets, and we can only make a living by relying on the income from their output, and we dare not sell them for cash easily.

If you take all those out and add the dowry from Qiao Shiyou's mother, it will indeed make up for the money that Zhenniang once spent on them.

Father Qiao hesitated:

"That would be like draining out all our savings. Then our family wouldn't even have a place to live. What should we do?"

Qiao Shiyou said:
