Shen Yumei, do I look like a sucker to you?

Shen Yumei glanced at Zhou Wanwan, and Zhou Wanwan nodded at her.

She continued:

"Shen Yulan was already five months pregnant, but I remember she had only been in the Upper Capital for a little over three months."

Could it be that you two had an affair before?

Shen Yulan's face turned deathly pale as she said, "Nonsense! I'm only three months pregnant, how could I be five months along?"

Shen Yumei looked at her and said, "Isn't there a doctor here? He can tell by taking her pulse."

Shen Yulan's face turned even paler. Her mother glared at her and shouted, "Shen Yumei, are you trying to force your sister to her death? What exactly do you want to do?"

Shen Yumei looked at them, her heart unmoved. It was clearly their fault, yet they blamed everything on her.

Shen Yulan fainted immediately. Her mother pointed at Shen Yumei and shouted, "You madwoman! I think you've lost your mind! Someone, lock her up!"

But as soon as she got close, Zhou Wanwan's people blocked her way.

In no time, they were all pinned to the ground.

Looking at Zhou Wanwan, Mrs. Shen said, "Who are you? What right do you have to meddle in the affairs of the Shen Clan?"

Zhou Wanwan glanced at her indifferently and said:

I don't want to meddle in the Shen Clan's affairs.

But I'm now the lawyer hired by Shen Yumei, so naturally I have to get involved in this matter."

Upon hearing this, Shen's mother exclaimed, "How much did she give you? I'll give you double!"

Shen Yumei's heart tightened, Zhou Wanwan said calmly:

"In our line of work, integrity is paramount. We won't take on the next order until this one is completed."

The situation is clear now, and I advise you to settle out of court.

Bah! I advise you not to go to court. You should know that the chances of winning are almost zero, and it will be very embarrassing.

That's absolutely true.

Shen Jiamu looked at Shen Yumei with a cold face and said:

"Yumei, stop fooling around. I was just saying those things to coax your sister."

The person I've always loved is you. Even if you don't have children, I won't mind.

Let's continue to live our lives well together.

Zhou Wanwan looked at him and said, "Continue to live a good life? You can't even have children, how can you live a good life?"

Shen Jiamu's face turned ashen as he said, "At such a young age, you're spouting such vulgarities. Do you believe I'll have someone slap you hard across the face?"

Zhou Wanwan looked at him and said, "Then you can give it a try."

Two servants beside Shen Jiamu rushed over, but before they could get close, Shen Jiamu was already lashed out with a whip.

They didn't even see which direction the whip came from.

Shen Jiamu covered his face and said, "It hurts, it burns so badly, what was that thing?"

Zhou Wanwan looked at them and said:

"It's best to behave yourself and not get handsy."

I don't like physical violence; I prefer An'an negotiations.

Shen Jiamu's lips twitched as he asked, "What exactly do you want?"

Zhou Wanwan looked at him and said, "Everything I want is written on this piece of paper. Take a good look at it."

Shen Jiamu stared for a while, then gasped.

"Are you all crazy? You not only want all the dowry back, but you also want it all back."

I'll also compensate you with three shops, three estates, and 100,000 taels of silver, haha!

Shen Yumei, do I look like a sucker to you?

Zhou Wanwan chuckled and said:

"Young Master Shen, I urge you to think twice!"

The officials appointed by the court committed wicked acts, favoring their mistresses and belittling their wives, deliberately framing their wives and tarnishing their reputations.

What kind of crime is this? It seems like it warrants immediate execution, right?

But don't worry, this is considered attempted murder, meaning the murder hasn't been carried out yet. At most, the punishment will be dismissal from office and exile.

Sweat dripped from Shen Jiamu; these were indeed serious crimes.

Shen Jiamu's father spoke up:

"Alright, this noise is making us a laughingstock in front of outsiders."

Yumei! You've been with our family for so many years, and we, your husband and I, have always treated you well, like our own daughter.

Please, for the sake of us old folks, let Jiamu go!

You two should live a down-to-earth life. Don't worry, with us here, he won't dare to bully you.

As for your sister, she can come in as a concubine. What do you think?

Shen Yumei had a cold face, while Zhou Wanwan looked at her, waiting to see what she would do.

Shen Yumei was the one living this life; Zhou Wanwan could only offer limited help.

Shen Yumei looked at them and suddenly burst out laughing:

"I don't think so. Since things have already escalated to this point, you all harbor resentment towards me."

Even if I manage to go back, I won't have a good life."

Shen Jiamu quickly said, "Yumei, don't think like that. In my heart, you are the most important."

Shen Yumei scoffed lightly:

"I'm the most important one, who are you kidding?"

If you won't sign the divorce papers today, then we'll take you to court tomorrow.

Shen Jiamu looked at her coldly and said:

Do you really have to go to such extremes?

If you dare to divorce me today, I won't let you have a good life tomorrow.

I'll make you suffer a fate worse than death for the rest of your life.

Zhou Wanwan looked at him and said, "Are you threatening my client?"

Shen Jiamu pointed at Zhou Wanwan's nose and said, "And you, you brat, what good do you think you'll get? I won't let you get away with this."

Zhou Wanwan looked at him and said, "Don't point your finger at me. I'm warning you, I don't like people pointing their fingers at me and yelling at me."

Shen Jiamu looked at her and said, "It's all your doing. Otherwise, where would Shen Yumei get the audacity? You just wait."

With a "crack," Shen Jiamu's finger broke off.

He screamed in agony, "It hurts! It hurts so much!"

Zhou Wanwan looked at him and frowned, saying:

"As expected, the ten fingers are connected to the heart! I told you not to point your finger at me, and now you're getting your comeuppance, aren't you?"

Oh, and by the way, you'd better not threaten me, or you'll be in even worse shape.

"Quickly, call a doctor! Quickly, call a doctor!"

The doctor hadn't even left the room when he returned, looked at his finger, and said, "This finger is beyond saving; it's broken."

Madam Shen burst into tears. "My son! What happened? He was perfectly fine just now, how could his finger suddenly break off?"

Shen Jiamu's face turned pale with pain. "Witch! She's a witch! She knows magic!"

Zhou Wanwan looked at him and said:

"Young Master Shen, don't talk nonsense. There's no such thing as sorcery in this world."

I'm just asking you, Shen Clan, are you going to sign this divorce agreement or not? If not, we're leaving, and we'll see you in court tomorrow.

Mr. Shen wiped the sweat from his face and said, "Sign, Shen Jiamu, sign now."

Shen Jiamu cried, "Father, I won't sign. Why should she have it easy?"

Father Shen slapped him and said, "Whose fault is this? Even now, you still don't know you're wrong. Hurry up and get back to your senses."

Shen Jiamu reluctantly signed the papers, Shen Yulan stood beside him and said, "Jiamu, you said you would marry me."

Father Shen sneered and said, "Someone, take her pulse. I want to see if the child in her belly is truly from the Shen Clan."

"No, no, why humiliate me in front of so many people?"

Mr. Shen shouted:

Didn't you want to marry into my Shen Clan?

If this child is my son's, then I will take responsibility for it, and our Shen Clan will welcome you into our home with an eight-bearer sedan chair.

But if this child isn't from the Shen Clan, then don't blame me for being impolite."
