In the prison, Liu Yanbo never thought that one day he would be thrown into the prison. The people in the big room had never been so cruel.

The first wife's people were always gentle, and Liu Yanbo believed that they just liked to put on a show. Liu's mother liked to act generous, just to make Liu's father think she was good.

Liu Yanbo had always believed that they would just be like that, that they would keep pretending. He should have realized that Liu Yulian was not someone who would just accept things as they pleased, and that Princess Zhaoyang was a member of the royal family. Everything would be different.

Liu Yanbo wasn't in a solitary cell; he was placed with other prisoners. With the guard's instructions, the other prisoners quickly knew what to do.

Those people surrounded Liu Yanbo and started punching and kicking him.

They knew that as long as they didn't kill the person or cripple him, or just caused minor injuries, it would be fine.

"You..." Liu Yanbo didn't expect these people to treat him like this.

There was no way those people would listen to Liu Yanbo. Even if Liu Yanbo offered them silver, they would not accept it.

In the clinic, Princess Zhaoyang took out some medicinal wine and applied it to Liu Yulian herself.

"It's a little swollen." Princess Zhaoyang thought Liu Yanbo was really cruel. As a brother, he didn't know how to care for his sister and was so violent to her. It was too cruel.

Are these people's hearts made of stone? Princess Zhaoyang thought that Liu Yulian did not harm the people from the second house, so why are the people from the second house so speechless?

"It's okay, it will be fine in a few days." Liu Yulian felt a little pain in her wrist. It was possible that she didn't feel anything at all, but she just didn't want to make Princess Zhaoyang worry.

Princess Zhaoyang applied a little more force, and she heard Liu Yulian scream in pain.

"It hurts, right?" Princess Zhaoyang asked.

"Yes it hurts." Liu Yulian nodded. Of course it hurts.

This is really painful and I can't use any force.

Liu Yulian thought she wouldn't have to do much other work recently, just wait for her hand to heal. Fortunately, her family didn't have to rely on her embroidery to make money, otherwise, she wouldn't be able to do it these days.

Because Liu Yulian was injured, Princess Zhaoyang and her entourage went straight back to the town and did not stay in the provincial capital for long.

In the Liu family's main house, Princess Zhaoyang directly told Liu's father and mother about the situation.

"Having this brother is as good as not having him at all, little sister. It's even worse than not having him at all." Prince Zhaoyang was filled with indignation. "What does it have to do with little sister that he didn't pass the imperial examination?"

"It doesn't matter." Father Liu frowned.

Father Liu didn't expect that Liu Yanbo would fail the exam to become a scholar. Didn't Liu Yanbo vow that he would take the exam to become the third place?

"This marriage must be severed," Princess Zhaoyang said. "I told my younger sister to rest first and not come over. She was frightened today. If it happens again, will my younger sister be frightened silly? Not only will my father be unhappy, but I won't be happy either."

Princess Zhaoyang didn't know how deep her father's feelings for Liu Yanbo were. Anyway, she didn't like Liu Yanbo and didn't want to have such a relative.

Father Liu understood what Princess Zhaoyang meant. If his daughter was frightened silly by his second son, the emperor would definitely be unhappy.

He had thought about giving Liu Yanbo a chance and seeing if he would change. Liu Yanbo was his biological son, so it was inevitable that he would be soft-hearted.

At this time, Liu's father knew that he could no longer be soft-hearted, and that breaking off the engagement did not necessarily require Liu Yanbo to step in.

Father Liu could directly write the document, have someone witness it, or file it at the government office. He could then write a letter to the head of the Liu family, directly stating that the eldest branch of the Liu family had severed its relationship with Liu Yanbo.

"No need to admit it!" Mother Liu looked at Father Liu. She felt sorry for her daughter and couldn't bear to see her daughter being hurt like that.

Mother Liu had endured it before, just to make Father Liu feel guilty and also to be able to hit the target with one strike.

If the first attack fails, there will be all kinds of troubles and delays afterwards.

Liu's mother didn't like to delay, so she wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to directly break off the relationship with the second branch.

"It's fine if Liu Yanbo wants to take the exam, what does it have to do with Sister Lian?" Liu's mother was unhappy. "He just thinks Sister Lian is a princess, isn't he upset?"

"Then break off the engagement." Father Liu did not say to break off the engagement. He felt the anger of his wife and his daughter-in-law Princess Zhaoyang. If he always stood on Liu Yanbo's side, then this family would be alienated from him.

Father Liu was not so foolish as to sever the relationship if he wanted to. He had more than just Liu Yanbo as his son, he also had other sons.

But his other sons weren't much use either, and Father Liu was helpless. How could those people become like that? They were all fine when they were in the capital.

After arriving in the northwest, these people changed one by one.

Father Liu was sad, "I'll go write a letter to the clan leader."

The Liu family is considered a big family. Although not every member of the family is very powerful, and not as powerful as the Cen family, the Liu family is also well-known.

"Write it." Mother Liu felt relieved after hearing Father Liu's words. She didn't want Father Liu to continue speaking for the people from the Second House. "Send someone to tell them later and write the document directly. It doesn't matter whether they sign it or not."

Liu's mother thought that since the people in the second house had been like that, it wouldn't matter if the people in the first house unilaterally severed the relationship. She believed that the people in the second house had to save face, so they would definitely sign and seal the agreement.

"I'll go see Sister Lian." Mother Liu had wanted to go see her for a long time, but in order to finalize the breakup of the engagement, she didn't go to see her daughter first.

"I'll go in a while." said Father Liu.

"Read it first, then write a letter." Mother Liu continued, "In case you think we're being too much, who's the one who's being too much, your son, or us?"

"Alright." Father Liu thought that since the matter had already been settled, he couldn't possibly regret it. Liu Yanbo had hurt Liu Yulian this time, and there might be another time.

This family still depends on Liu Yulian, and Liu's father certainly doesn't want Liu Yulian to get hurt.

People like Liu's father are actually typical of men in ancient times. They always find various excuses for their sons, thinking that their sons are okay and can be saved.

Fathers like them don't consider the thoughts of their wives and other children at all. They think that as fathers, they should think more about their children and be more tolerant.

But someone like Liu's mother has no blood relationship with Liu Yanbo. In order to make Liu's father willingly break off the relationship with Liu Yanbo, Liu's mother has to lay the groundwork and build up the relationship.

Many women are like this. They are obviously very angry, but they can't say anything and can only endure it.

"Let's go." said Father Liu.

When Princess Zhaoyang and her group arrived at Liu Yulian's yard, Liu Yulian was applying medicine to the wound. Liu Yulian made some medicines herself, which did not work so quickly, but they were good.

"Why don't you let the maid do it?" When Liu's mother arrived, she saw Liu Yulian doing it herself.

"It hurts." Liu Yulian was worried that the maid didn't pay attention to the severity and was afraid of the pain.

Liu Yulian's wrist wasn't that red and swollen before, but after returning home, it became even more red and swollen. This shows that Liu Yanbo used a lot of strength.

Father Liu looked at his daughter's swollen wrist, where he could even see finger marks. His brows furrowed even deeper.

My daughter doesn't write all the time, but she has to do a lot of things. If her hands are disabled, she won't be able to do some things. How can that be possible?

We can’t keep Liu Yanbo as our son anymore!

"Wait a moment, I'll write a letter to the clan leader, telling him we're breaking off our relationship with Liu Yanbo." Father Liu said directly in front of Liu Yulian, "Just take good care of him. Don't worry about these things. They can't bully you anymore. When you go out next time, bring a few more people with you."

Father Liu was really angry. His daughter's wrist was badly swollen. Liu Yanbo didn't act like a good brother at all.

"Father, there's no point regretting it later," Liu Yulian said. "Even if you regret it, I won't recognize him unless you write a letter of severance."

Liu Yulian said that she was not a pushover and would never allow the people from the second house to treat her like this.

People are interdependent. If the people from the second wife are not nice to her, there is no need for her to be nice to them.

Liu Yulian didn’t know how capable the male protagonist Liu Yanbo would be in the future, nor did she know how many people Su Qiuya would meet in the future. She just knew that she was not having a good life now.

"Okay, no problem." Father Liu didn't dare to say there was a problem.

In the evening, Su Qiuya had not yet recovered from the fact that Liu Yanbo failed the imperial examination and was thrown into jail, when they received another document of severing the marriage relationship from the eldest wife.

The people sent by the first wife made it very clear that it would be the same regardless of whether the second wife signed or not. "How could this happen?" Concubine Qing couldn't believe it. How could her son fail the exam and end up in jail? Was it intentional on the part of the first wife?

"The top ten essays will be put in a book," the visitor said. "Whether someone else caused him to fail the exam, you'll know by reading the other essays."

The man quickly turned and left, not wanting to see what these people would do. These people from the second house had no idea what shame was, nor did they know how to know their own limitations.

Su Qiuya had rarely read Liu Yanbo's articles. She usually discussed with Liu Yanbo mostly about the business in the store.

They all need to live and need money, so of course they have to think more about making money.

Su Qiuya didn't read many of Liu Yanbo's articles because she was just a woman, and it was not easy for a woman to read articles written by men.

Those men like to say that women can't understand, and men don't think about letting women read more of those things.

Su Qiuya had thought that Liu Yanbo could not show his talents when he was in the Marquis' Mansion, but Liu Yanbo can do it now.

Who would have thought that Liu Yanbo didn't have such great ability? Su Qiuya didn't want to believe it, so she ran into the house. She wanted to see the article Liu Yanbo had written before.

Su Qiuya specially prepared a study for Liu Yanbo. When she arrived at the study, she quickly found the articles written by Liu Yanbo.

Those articles contain a lot of fancy words, but those words are obviously not suitable for use in those places.

One article is like this, two articles are like this, and almost every article is like this.

Su Qiuya also found that Liu Yanbo's handwriting was not that beautiful. It might be because Liu Yanbo wrote too much, so his handwriting was not beautiful.

Liu Yanbo usually wrote the names of some of the dishes in the store very beautifully, so Su Qiuya thought that Liu Yanbo's handwriting was good. She never thought that Liu Yanbo would be so unreliable.

Even though Su Qiuya had not read that many books, she could still sense something was wrong.

When Liu Yanbo took the Tongsheng exam, he was in the middle, which seemed not bad. However, there were many people taking the Xiucai exam, and even fewer people passed the Xiucai exam than the Tongsheng exam.

"Why is this happening?" Su Qiuya thought Liu Yanbo was a very good person.

"What are you doing?" asked Aunt Qing.

"Are all the articles written by my husband like this?" Su Qiuya asked.

"Yes, it's pretty good." Aunt Qing was not very well educated, but she felt that her son's articles were good and that he could have better development.

If these people don't value her son, it's everyone else's loss.

"I don't know how the eldest wife managed to make Yanbo fail the exam. They are so afraid..."

"They are not afraid." Su Qiuya thought that the people in the first house did not attack Liu Yanbo at all, but Aunt Qing was making too much of a scene.

Aunt Qing always said that Liu Yanbo was talented and asked him to hide it.

In fact, there is no need for Liu Yanbo to hide at all, Liu Yanbo is not that powerful.

Su Qiuya really couldn't say Liu Yanbo's article was good against her conscience. She knew that when cooking, one couldn't put all those fancy and delicious things in one dish. That wouldn't be right. The dish would probably taste bad.

"Why aren't you afraid? If you're not afraid, then they..."

"This kind of article is even worse than the one written by my stepmother's son." Su Qiuya gritted her teeth. With such a bad article, how could they have the nerve to say that the eldest wife was on guard against them?

Do these people still have any shame?

Su Qiuya felt ashamed when she thought about how she had followed Aunt Qing and Liu Yanbo in believing that the eldest wife was slandering them.

There is really no need for the first wife to take action against them. Liu Yanbo is really not strong.

Su Qiuya felt really ashamed. The eldest wife did not do anything to them, but they always thought that the eldest wife did.

"Why is it not good? Look at the wording and sentence structure, how good it is." Aunt Qing pointed to the articles on the table.

"If you think it's good, you can take these articles out and ask more people outside to see what they think." Su Qiuya knew that the teachers in the academy were unwilling to write a letter of recommendation for Liu Yanbo, and they had to spend money to find a teacher to write one.

Su Qiuya originally thought that those teachers did not dare to write recommendation letters to Liu Yanbo because of his relationship with the eldest wife.

It turned out that Liu Yanbo was really bad. He was not good enough for the teacher to be willing to write a letter of recommendation for him.

"Why are you saying this? Your husband is still in jail." Aunt Qing said.

"Wait two days." Su Qiuya said, "Didn't the person who came say that? He was thrown into jail because he hurt my little sister. I estimate he will be out in two days. They just want to teach him a lesson."

Su Qiuya still had some brains, and she didn't blindly go to the eldest wife's side. No wonder the eldest wife wanted to break off the relationship with them. Su Qiuya thought carefully about the past and she felt it was terrible.

Why didn't she doubt what Aunt Qing said and think about it more?

Su Qiuya felt like she had been deceived. If she had known that Liu Yanbo's article was so bad, she would never have said much about the first wife's faults. Even though the first wife had her faults, she really didn't suppress Liu Yanbo.

"Who knows what will happen in a couple of days?" Aunt Qing was dissatisfied. "Do you feel ashamed that your husband didn't pass the imperial examination? So you..."

"We'll know in two days. Even if we rush to the provincial capital now, it will be useless." Su Qiuya was not so stupid as to not understand this. Liu Yulian was injured by Liu Yanbo, so why shouldn't she allow others to retaliate against Liu Yanbo?

Su Qiuya hoped that Liu Yulian would directly retaliate against Liu Yanbo, so that Liu Yulian would not be able to keep an eye on Liu Yanbo in the future.

"You... are so useless." Aunt Qing was displeased.

"Whether it is useless or not is not up to you to decide." Su Qiuya was angry. She was angry at these people for talking nonsense and deceiving her.

The fact that Su Qiuya can become the heroine of a novel shows that she has many desirable qualities and advantages.

In a female-oriented novel, the female protagonist is of course more important than the male protagonist, especially in farming novels, where the female protagonist is more powerful.

Su Qiuya didn't care whether Aunt Qing would be unhappy or not, now was not the time for them to be happy or not.

This engagement really had to be severed. Su Qiuya thought that if it were her, she would definitely have to break off the engagement.

Su Qiuya didn't plan to shamelessly go to the first house to apologize. She was just waiting to have a good talk with Liu Yanbo when the time came.

Liu Yanbo has always been very good to Su Qiuya. He is indeed talented in some things and can be considered a business person. This is why Su Qiuya had not discovered Liu Yanbo's true level of writing articles before. Now that she knows it, she must make Liu Yanbo change.

Su Qiuya had to tell Liu Yanbo to study hard and delve into his studies, and not dwell on his own abilities. He simply wasn't that capable, so he shouldn't even think about soaring to the sky; he should just keep his feet on the ground.

In Shiyuan Village, Liu Yanqing was stunned when he learned that the first and second wives had severed their relationship. How could the second wife be so ruthless as to force the first wife to sever her relationship with them?

"Are there any eggs at home?" Liu Yanqing asked.

"What are you doing?" Lin Xiaowan asked.

"I went to town this morning and learned that the first and second wives had severed their relationship," Liu Yanqing said. "My younger sister was slightly injured, so I sent her a few eggs to heal her. We don't have anything else at home, so a few eggs will do."

"You don't want to go see my younger sister, you just want to watch the fun." Lin Xiaowan didn't think that Liu Yanqing was someone who cared about his younger sister. Liu Yanqing was just a person who liked to laugh at others.

Liu Yanqing really wanted to know how much the first wife hated the second wife, and he also wanted to know what the situation was like on the third wife's side.

As for caring for his sister, Liu Yanqing thought it was also necessary to go and see her.

"You can't say that. It would be best if neither side is delayed." Liu Yanqing said.

"Okay." Lin Xiaowan rolled her eyes. "Whatever you do, I'll do it."

"I'm your brother, how can I not go?" Liu Yanqing said seriously, "You're a woman, you can go at your convenience, but I'm going because I'm a brother to my sister. If I don't go, how will my younger sister see me?"

Liu Yanqing thought that it was impossible for him to hurt his younger sister, nor did he think about ruining this marriage.

"Take two more eggs. They're our own, and that makes a difference." Liu Yanqing said, "We need to let our sister feel our care for her. Not every brother is so bad. For example, I'm a very good brother."

Lin Xiaowan didn't say much, she just took the bamboo basket to collect eggs, and she collected a few big goose eggs.

"Little sister, you can't eat such a big egg, right?" Liu Yanqing muttered. Would such a big goose egg be wasted?

"This is not your concern." Lin Xiaowan was helpless. Why did Liu Yanqing think about these things?
