When Liu Zhi arrived, Song's mother and Liu's mother had already been arguing for most of the time.

But the situation was not as bad as Liu Zhi had imagined.

Liu Zhi stood in the courtyard, watching the two sides caught in a dilemma.

On one side is the former mother-in-law who is calmly and without swearing at Old Mrs. Liu, and on the other side is the grandmother who is so angry that her face turns red and her neck bulges.

"Grandmother, Mother-in-law..." Liu Zhi called out to the two of them, reminding them of his presence.

Upon seeing Liu Zhi, the two reacted differently.

First, Song's mother rolled her eyes at Liu Zhi and said casually, "Heh, Lord Liu, you're too kind. His Majesty has already granted my daughter a divorce from you. I can't accept you calling me mother-in-law."

"Mother-in-law." Liu Zhi's face paled for a moment.

Seeing her grandson injured, Old Madam Liu didn't want any other woman to bully her beloved and promising grandson, even if that woman was her grandson's former mother-in-law.

She retorted angrily, "Song family, don't be so arrogant. No matter what, your daughter married my grandson. Now that they're divorced, she's just a second-hand woman..."

"grandmother!"

Liu Zhi interrupted Old Madam Liu, his eyes unusually cold, which made Old Madam Liu feel a sense of fear.

"Zhi'er." Old Mrs. Liu looked at Liu Zhi with a trembling expression.

This was the first time she had ever seen her grandson look at her like that, and her feverish mind, which had been agitated by Song's mother, finally calmed down.

Looking at her grandmother's expression, Liu Zhi knew that she had been frightened by her.

Recalling the kindness his grandmother had shown him in the past, Liu Zhi closed his eyes, suppressing the anger in them, and tried to comfort her, saying, "Grandmother, now that I am divorced from Miss Song, the dowry originally belonged to the Song family. You shouldn't have interfered."

Grandma Liu opened her mouth, then said somewhat guiltily, "I...I..."

Seeing Old Mrs. Liu's guilty look, Liu Zhi felt a sense of foreboding.

Sure enough, not long after, Liu Zhi saw Qinghe, who was tidying up Qingyin's dowry, come out and say to Song's mother with a cold face: "Madam, I have tidied up Miss's dowry and found that Miss's dowry is missing... three shops on Donglin Street, two pairs of white ruyi, and a pair of sandalwood chairs with blue phoenix and peony carvings."

As Qinghe listed the missing items one by one, Song's mother's face turned cold, and Liu Zhi's face also darkened.

Even without Song's mother saying anything, Liu Zhi already knew where Qingyin's things had gone.

Looking up, Liu Zhi saw the old lady Liu's guilty look, as if she were sitting on pins and needles, and felt a deep sense of weariness rise in his heart.

"Lord Liu, could you explain why my daughter's dowry is so much less?" Song's mother said sarcastically to Liu Zhi.

He watched as his familiar, gentle mother-in-law revealed a sharp attitude towards him.

Liu Zhi ignored her guilty grandmother and said earnestly to Madam Song, "Madam Song, please don't worry. All the missing items will be converted into gold and silver, and I will deliver them all intact to Madam Song..."

"Tsk, there's no need for Lord Liu to personally deliver it. I have a lot of people with me, so I'll personally deliver all of Miss Song's dowry back to the Song residence on behalf of Aunt Song."

A strange, arrogant male voice interrupted Liu Zhi's reply.

Liu Zhi turned her head in surprise.

"Sinking into solitude!"

Shen Du felt incredibly satisfied looking at his former rival's bewildered and suppressed anger.

Haha, that kid pretended and fooled Qingqing, and now he's lost her.

But now he doesn't need to be angry with this person anymore, since this person has lost the right to have Qingqing anyway.

Looking at Liu Zhi, Shen Du exuded a victor's confidence that showed disdain for the loser and a disregard for the loser.

As Song's mother watched Shen Du walking with her two sons, exuding an air of smugness amidst his ethereal beauty, her lips twitched involuntarily.

She glanced again at Liu Zhi, whose face had turned red from anger at Shen Du.

Song's mother was secretly pleased, but she was still worried that her former son-in-law would be too angry and cause trouble for the Liu family.

She smiled and asked, "Young Master Shen, what brings you to the Liu residence?"

As soon as Song's mother finished speaking, Liu Zhi also looked at Steward Wang, who had rushed over, and felt the same doubts.

Manager Wang, who had received a look from his young master, secretly felt unlucky.

He looked up guiltily at the guards beside Young Master Shen Du and the two Song brothers, Song Yuebai and Song Du.

Young Master Shen Du suddenly arrived at the Liu residence with so many burly guards. Putting aside his own high level of martial arts, how could he possibly stop Young Master Shen from entering with so many people blocking his way? Moreover, Shen Du was with Song Yuebai's brother, using the perfectly legitimate reason of helping a friend move things, so he was even less able to stop him.

Liu Zhi understood from Manager Wang's look, and she became even angrier.

Shen Du's coveting of his wife caused a great stir in the capital a few years ago. It only calmed down after he married Song Qingqing. He thought Shen Du had given up on his feelings for Qingqing, but he never expected that... Now that Qingqing and he are in trouble, Shen Du's wolfish ambitions have been exposed.

"Brother Liu, hahaha, this Shen Du is also a good brother of Yuebai and Fengqing. Hearing that Qingqing has a happy occasion and can go home, he volunteered to help us move my sister's dowry. Brother Liu, you mustn't be angry!"

Looking at the quiet Liu Zhi, Song Yuebai showed no sign of feeling sorry for his former brother-in-law. He smiled sarcastically at Liu Zhi.

Even Song's mother couldn't stand Liu Zhi's attitude of being afraid of angering him to death, and glared at him without saying a word.

Song's mother: Don't cause trouble.

Song Yuebai: Ha, he's allowed to upset my sister, but not this bastard.

Song's mother: ...

Song's mother: Never mind, just this once.

Song Yuebai: Received.

Only Shen Du, who was keeping an eye on his future mother-in-law and brother-in-law, noticed the lawsuit between the mother and son.
