Father, who is both a heir and a descendant, is still biased; the bound system has gone berserk.

"The old lady naturally approves of this marriage."

Liu Xueyan said calmly.

She found it amusing that Ying Yufu was so naive; did she really think the old lady would side with her mentally unstable brother?

She glanced at Shangguan Tang smugly and said, "See? Your son is just a madman. The Cheng family is such a good marriage for my son."

Everything your child has belongs to my child.

Everything you have is mine.

At this moment, Liu Xueyan felt a sense of triumph.

"Sister-in-law, stop making a fuss. You've come back with your dowry. Your commotion is just a sign of jealousy."

But you can't risk your son's life, can you?

"Sister-in-law, now that you've left the Marquis's residence, I'm afraid Zhuo Xiu won't have a single day of peace."

Liu Xueyan said meaningfully.

After she finished speaking, she waited to see Shangguan Tang's uneasy expression.

However, Shangguan Tang just looked at her coldly.

Suddenly, she smiled slightly and said, "Liu Xueyan, then you'll see whether my Zhuo Xiu, after leaving the Marquis's mansion, will have no peace for a single day, or whether each day will be better than the last."

After she finished speaking, she turned and left.

"stop!"

Ying Nanyao spoke in a deep voice.

"Since you've brought the ambergris, just take it out. What are you hiding? Do you expect me to beg you?"

Shangguan Tang's face suddenly darkened.

She turned and asked, "Who told you the ambergris was for you?"

"If not for me, then for whom?"

"Shangguan Tang, I know you care about your reputation, but I've given you chance after chance, and you never know when to stop. You've been constantly at odds with me; you're utterly devoid of any gentleness."

Ying Nanyao was quite troubled. His leg was broken, and Shangguan Tang not only didn't care, but also kept acting arrogantly towards him.

"Ying Nanyao, have you gotten used to spending my dowry? And now you're acting so self-righteous?"

Shangguan Tang made no attempt to hide the disdain on his face.

"Shangguan Tang, if you bring out the dragon's saliva grass, I will forgive your rudeness."

Ying Nanyao said.

"Yes, Sister Shangguan, husband and wife are one. Yours is Yinghou's, isn't it?"

Mrs. Cheng said with a light laugh.

"Ying Nanyao, you can have the dragon's saliva grass. I used my dowry to support the Marquis's mansion for eighteen years. You can give me all that money back."

Ying Nanyao stared coldly at Shangguan Tang.

"Are you really not going to give me the ambergris?" he asked again.

Shangguan Tang sneered, "Does the Marquis not want to return the money he spent on my dowry?"

Ying Nanyao looked at Ying Chengting and gave him a look.

Ying Chengting smiled and said, "Second Aunt, on my way back from my study tour, I met a very capable person. He is quite skilled and may have some understanding of my second brother's mental illness."

After he finished speaking, everyone looked at Shangguan Tang with smug expressions, waiting for her to soften her stance.

Ying Nanyao even smiled and said, "Shangguan Tang, as long as you give me the dragon's saliva grass and bring back your dowry, and live a good life, everything will be alright."

Ying Yufu lowered her eyelids. Although she had long since given up hope for such a father, at this moment, she still felt sorry for her mother.

My mother has wasted eighteen years of her life on such a person; it's such a waste.

"Mother, let's go back to see my brother first."

Ying Yufu wanted to take her mother away from here as soon as possible; it was too disgusting.

Shangguan Tang looked very unwell, and she felt extremely disheartened.

Everyone says that even tigers don't eat their cubs, but Ying Nanyao is worse than an animal.

"Shangguan Tang, think this through. That extraordinary person Cheng Ting mentioned might be Zhuo Xiu's only hope!"

Shangguan Tang ignored him.

Back in his brother's courtyard, Youfu was waiting outside. Upon seeing them return, Youfu immediately rushed over excitedly.

"Madam, the young master is still asleep," Youfu said softly.

Shangguan Tang nodded, then turned to Youfu and said, "Youfu, go to the front yard and summon all my dowry maids, nannies, servants, and guards here."

Youfu nodded in agreement and immediately turned and ran off.

Before long, about two or three hundred people were all summoned.

They were all part of her dowry when she married into the general's mansion.

Shangguan Tang looked at them and said, "As you all know, I have already taken all my dowry away from the Marquis's residence."

All the dowry maids looked at Shangguan Tang with trepidation.

The head steward said, "Madam, you summoned us all here. Is there some other arrangement?"

We are all your people; we will listen to you at a moment's notice.

"Yes, we will all listen to you," the others echoed loudly.

In fact, from the day Shangguan Tang took away the dowry, their living conditions were downgraded by many levels.

For example, we didn't have breakfast today.

Even if the lady did not summon them, they would still have to find an opportunity to see her.

Shangguan Tang said, "I wish to divorce. I have no intention of returning to this Marquis's mansion. Are you willing to leave with me and live separately?"

The servants and attendants were truly taken aback.

But they were just servants; they had to obey their master's decisions.

"We belong to the lady; we follow her wherever she goes. Wherever she goes, we will go."

"Alright, then you can pack your things now and leave with me later."

The servants immediately took their leave to tidy up, their faces even showing signs of joy.

They all disliked the Marquis's mansion.

In the meantime, she instructed Youfu to pack Ying Zhuoxiu's things.

Ying Zhuoxiu has been acting crazy for the past few years and has nothing to show for it.

Even the books he used to read have now been moved away by the eldest son's family.

Before long, all the servants and attendants who had accompanied the bride had tidied up and reappeared before Shangguan Tang.

Shangguan Tang nodded in satisfaction, then gave instructions to several strong servants.

"Go find a stretcher and carry the young master out."

Ying Zhuoxiu was still asleep, and she didn't want to wake him. Even if he did wake up, he would be too weak to walk more than a few steps.

Among the servants' belongings was a stretcher, so they didn't bother to look for one.

Thick quilts were laid on the stretcher, Ying Zhuoxiu was carried on it, and the group walked out of the Marquis's mansion in a grand procession.

But as soon as they stepped out of the courtyard, they were stopped by the woods.

"Madam, what are you trying to do?"

Shangguan Tang looked at him coldly: "What, do I need to tell you what I want to do?"

Lin Zhong glanced at Ying Zhuoxiu, who was sleeping on the stretcher, and a hint of disgust flashed in his eyes.

He said, "Madam, please leave the ambergris."

Shangguan Tang's face was icy cold, and Ying Yufu clenched her fists, about to step forward and teach this forest dweller a lesson.

Just then, a tall, strong figure suddenly rushed out and slapped Lin Zhong on the forehead.

She was a nanny.

Lin Zhong froze for a moment, then his eyes rolled back and he fell straight to the ground.

I actually fainted.

The old woman stared at the body that had fallen in the forest and gave a crooked smile.

"Madam, this man offended you, and I couldn't help but teach him a lesson."

The old woman said with an honest and simple expression.

Ying Yufu had a deep impression of this crooked-mouthed old woman.

Shangguan Tang also remembered her.

Unexpectedly, she was incredibly strong, even Lin Zhong fell victim to her attacks.
