I Wouldn't Covet Your Measly Dowry, No Matter Whose Else I Coveted

Chu Liufeng looked at Pei Shuang and said, "Do you really have to go to such extremes? Don't you even care about the three children?"

Pei Shuang sneered:

"It was because of the concerns for the three children that I made this decision."

"Hurry up and sign the divorce papers, and return my dowry to me."

Concubine Ruan, who was standing nearby, said anxiously:

"Sister, how could you do this?"

The city lord's mansion has been so good to you; now that you're sick, they've found the best doctor to treat you.

But once you recover, you'll have to leave the city lord's mansion? There's no such thing as a free lunch.

Besides, the city lord has always doted on you.

Pei Shuang laughed heartily:

"Concubine Ruan, do you even believe this lie yourself?"

Now, everyone in the entire Peerless City knows that I was so hungry that I took my three children to beg for food on the streets.

It's all my fault for being blind back then, thinking that I would be rewarded for giving my all.

But I forgot that the most unpredictable thing in this world is the human heart.

Chu Liufeng snorted coldly and said, "Since you want a divorce, then let's get a divorce!"

Zhou Wanwan also found it strange; judging from Chu Liufeng's appearance, it seemed as if he didn't know that the City Lord's Mansion had been emptied out.

Chu Liufeng waved his hand and said, "Have your men come back with me and take your dowry. That junk is nothing to this city lord."

Zhou Wanwan shouted loudly:

"The city lord is wise; he actually doesn't care about this small dowry. The whole city has heard it."

Why don't you all come along and become witnesses too?

The people all roared, "Yes, let's go together and be witnesses!"

"Come on, come on! When my family was in trouble before, it was the city lord's wife who helped me. I want to go and see her too."

Chu Liufeng's face turned ashen as he said:

"It's just that little dowry, do you really think I was greedy for yours, Pei Shuang? You're really sick in the head!"

I wouldn't covet your dowry; it's worthless to me.

Pei Shuang looked at him coldly and said:

"Yes! Back then you had nothing, but my dowry was still valuable. Now you're the city lord."

Naturally, they didn't care about the dowry anymore. Since that's the case, let's just part ways.

Concubine Ruan said with a smile:

"Last night, the city lord took me on a boat trip!"

I'm so happy you didn't come home all night, sister!

How about next time the city lord takes you sightseeing?

Chu Liufeng sneered:

Do you think a woman like that deserves to be with me? I wouldn't take anyone else with me.

She was relegated to the backyard to serve people, but the worst part was that she couldn't even serve them properly.

Chu Liufeng's parents were no good people, and Pei Shuang treated them very well, but the two old folks were still not satisfied.

Pei Shuang suddenly laughed, "Yes! I'll never be able to serve you properly, so you won't need me to serve you anymore."

Chu Liufeng snorted coldly and said:

"I'll write the divorce papers right now, so you can't renege on your promise later. I want to see how you'll live without me."

And let me tell you, even if you want to come back later, I won't give you that chance.

Pei Shuang looked at him and said, "Don't worry, I will never come back to beg you."

Chu Liufeng immediately found paper and pen and wrote down a divorce agreement.

A large group of people marched towards the city lord's mansion, but as soon as they arrived, they were all stunned.

Chu Liufeng, holding Concubine Ruan's hand, said, "Huh? Did I remember the location wrong? Where is our City Lord's Mansion?"

Concubine Ruan was also stunned. "This is our home! How did it become like this?"

All the houses were gone, replaced by ruins.

Chu Liufeng's parents climbed out of the pit, and Chu Liufeng's mother cried out loudly:

"Waaaaah... What happened to our house? How did it turn into ruins? Why are we stuck in this crater?"

Liufeng, do you think we're getting too old and want to bury us ahead of time?

Chu Liufeng couldn't believe it either. He rushed over and exclaimed, "What... what happened? My courtyard, my warehouse, everything's gone, everything's gone..."

How could Chu Liufeng withstand such a blow?

Concubine Ruan was standing nearby, rushed straight to the storeroom, only to find it completely empty; nothing was left.

Pei Yong asked loudly:

"Chu Liufeng, who did you offend this time? You even had your home taken away, tsk tsk tsk..."

You deserved it, didn't you?

Old Madam Chu glared at him and said:

"My son is the city lord; he'll find the real culprit tomorrow. Who do you think you are?"

Aren't you from my daughter-in-law's family? What are you doing here at our house?

She looked at Pei Shuang again and said:

"You jinx! It's all your fault. Whenever you show up, nothing good ever happens in our family."

"Look at you, disheveled and unkempt, your hair is all white, how dare you show your face in front of me?"

Pei Shuang's hair has indeed turned completely white; it's white from worry.

She looked at Old Madam Chu and said, "You won't need to see me anymore, Chu Liufeng. You won't go back on your word just because of the changes in your family, will you?"

Chu Liufeng's face froze; he hadn't expected such a change in his family.

He looked at Pei Shuang in silence and said:

"Let's discuss this matter further. Right now, we need to catch the big thief. You need to be more sensible."

I know you don't really want to part with me; you're just putting on an act, so just stop talking!

Concubine Ruan said sarcastically:

"That's right! Sister, you're so inconsiderate."

"Now the house is in this state, and you're still deliberately stirring things up. You're doing it on purpose."

These people felt that Pei Shuang would never agree to a divorce.

Old Madam Chu looked at her and said:

"What are you standing there for? Don't you know to go to the kitchen and boil some water?"

He's covered in filth, when have he ever suffered like this?

That scared me to death! I thought someone was going to bury me!

Pei Shuang shouted loudly:

"I told you, I must get a divorce today, and I must receive my dowry today. Don't you understand?"

"Who's joking with you? The whole city is watching! Chu Liufeng, have you no shame?"

Chu Liufeng roared loudly:

"Crazy woman, if you want to leave, then leave. I've already given you the divorce papers. You can use a few estates as payment for your dowry!"

"Someone, give her that estate."

Pei Shuang glanced at the estates; these estates were quite nice, all located nearby.

Old Madam Chu roared:

"Why should this estate be given to her? This wretched woman should ask to be divorced."

"What use is she if she can't even give birth to a son?"

Pei Shuang looked at her coldly and said:

"Are you even cultured? Why should I ask to be divorced?"

"It's not like I've never had children before. It's not like I deserve to die just because I can't give birth to a son."

Old Madam Chu spat and said, "What use are you if you can't give birth to a son?"

Zhou Wanwan couldn't help but laugh too:

"Oh my! Our sows are giving birth a lot, and they're cheap, practically free! Do you like them?"

If you liked it, I'd give you one; you should have told me sooner!

"If you like having many children, that's easy, isn't it?"
