With her hands on her hips, Shen Jia pointed at Lü Zhu's nose and swore at her. Today, she finally vented all the anger she had suffered since the day she returned to her parents' home.

Now that he has caught the Marquis of Wuding in the act, everyone in the Marquis of Wuding's mansion will be beheaded sooner or later.

Since Yang Shujing and Lüzhu are so in love, let them continue their love in the underworld.

What she needs to do now is to quickly get the divorce papers from Yang Shujing so that she can extricate herself from the situation.

Thinking this, Shen Jia kicked the green bamboo on the ground several times, knocking it over.

The phoenix crown on her head rolled off, and Shen Jia's gaze was drawn to it.

She was so focused on scolding Green Bamboo that she didn't even notice that the phoenix crown looked familiar.

At this moment, the old women had finished reprimanding the maids who had been gossiping, and then they rolled up their sleeves, preparing to drag Green Bamboo over and strip her clothes off.

Green Bamboo's frail body couldn't withstand a few pulls, and her clothes were already tattered.

Ignoring the green bamboo, Shen Jia quickly squatted down, picked up the phoenix crown, and examined it carefully.

Only then did they discover that the phoenix crown their mother had lost was actually in the possession of that vile woman, Green Bamboo.

Shen Jia looked at the phoenix crown again and again, then suddenly chuckled, remembering how she and her mother had previously thought that Ning Yin had really stolen it.

What a slap in the face! The phoenix crown was stolen by a thief from his own house.

Shen Jia carefully put away the phoenix crown, turned her head, and glared fiercely at Lü Zhu, who was now disheveled and tied to a tree.

Shen Jia walked over with a sinister look on her face, raised her hand and slapped Green Bamboo several more times. Green Bamboo's eyes were filled with tears, and she kept crying.

Looking at Shen Jia's cold eyes, they didn't dare to breathe.

"Green Bamboo, you've got some nerve! You even dared to steal a gift from the Emperor! How come I only discovered this today? You shameless woman, you've got so many tricks up your sleeve! If you ask me, I shouldn't have been soft-hearted back then; I should have sold you off long ago!"

"You even encouraged me to use snake venom to harm my sister-in-law! You're really ruthless!"

Green Bamboo only cried on the surface, but she was cursing in her heart. She absolutely could not admit that Shen Jia said she stole things. Besides, wasn't it Shen Jia who forced her to deal with Ning Yin in the first place?

"My lady, I did not steal the imperial gift. Even if you gave me a hundred lives, I would not dare!"

Green Bamboo shook his head vigorously, staring in terror at the long whip in the old woman's hand behind him.

One lash would tear her skin apart; a hundred lashes would be enough to kill her on the spot.

She has finally managed to live the life of a master, and she absolutely cannot lose her life like this.

She was unwilling to accept being beaten to death by Shen Jia like that.

"You didn't steal it? How come this phoenix crown grew legs and ran from my mother's jewelry box to your head?!"

Shen Jia held the phoenix crown in her hand and waved it in front of the green bamboo.

“This, this phoenix crown was not stolen by me. It was something I saw by chance when I was helping the young master tidy up his study that day. The young master saw that I liked it, so he gave it to me casually. How could this be a royal gift?”

"Mistress, could it just be a slight resemblance?"

The green bamboo tentatively probed, its lips and teeth trembling.

"Smack!"

Green Bamboo was slapped again across the face, and his mouth split open from the blow.

"You lowly servant, how dare you try to argue!"

Just as Shen Jia was about to continue hitting, she suddenly realized that Green Bamboo probably wouldn't be lying this time.

She recalled the time her mother lost her jewelry, when the Yang siblings were also present. At that time, Zisu pointed out that Yang Shujing often appeared suspiciously outside her mother's yard.

She still remembers how she severely punished Zisu after hearing that her beloved man had been framed.

Upon realizing this, Shen Jia understood that it was actually Yang Shujing who had stolen her mother's jewelry.

That was something her mother had kept all her life; she never imagined it would be stolen by her future husband.

I was really a clown back then. In order to protect Yang Shujing, I taught the maid who told the truth a lesson.

Later, Yang Shuhuan even coerced and lured Granny Qin and Zisu to frame Ning Yin.

Thinking about all these things, Shen Jia immediately felt incredibly stupid. How could she not even see through such clumsy tactics?

She now deeply regrets how she targeted Ning Yin, causing Ning Yin so much suffering, and how she herself sided with that poisonous woman, Yang Shuhuan.

Fortunately, my brother was wise and didn't fall for Yang Shuhuan's trick.

Now that Yang Shuhuan is suffering in the slave camp, and the Wuding Marquis's family is not far from being exterminated, she can finally vent her anger.

But where is Yang Shujing now? She's in a hurry to get a divorce agreement.

Thinking this, Shen Jia gave the old nanny a look, and the old nanny quickly stepped forward and brandished her whip, cracking and snapping.

Green Bamboo's flesh instantly exploded, splattering blood all over the courtyard. The stench of blood filled the air. Shen Jia, without any expression, turned around and prepared to go find Yang Shujing.

He had only taken two steps when he saw Yang Shujing walk in with several of his men.

Yang Shujing came looking for Green Bamboo, but he didn't expect to hear screams and howls coming from the Silk Pavilion from a great distance.

He thought it was Green Bamboo disciplining the servants, until he saw the bloody scene before him, Yang Shujing was completely stunned.

The man looked at Green Bamboo, who had been tortured beyond recognition, with a feeling of nausea, and his anger surged.

"Shen Jia, are you crazy? All I did was send you to Lanqu Academy to study, how could you beat someone up like this!"

Yang Shujing covered her mouth and took two steps back, pointing at Shen Jia and cursing angrily.

"Yang Shujing, you used to be such a hypocrite! A noble heir of a marquis's mansion, stealing chickens and dogs, hanging out in brothels. I was truly blind to have liked a scoundrel like you!"

Yang Shujing thought Shen Jia was angry that Lvzhu had taken over her courtyard, but she didn't expect that Shen Jia would also scold her.

His pride wouldn't allow Shen Jia to speak to him like that, and he instantly flew into a rage, raising his hand to strike Shen Jia.

When the several incredibly strong old women behind her saw that Shen Jia was in danger, they quickly turned around and rushed over to protect her.

"Shen Jia, you want to rebel!"

"Yang Shujing, I'm not going to waste my breath on you. Hand over the divorce papers right now. I don't want to spend another second with a piece of trash like you!"

"Shen Jia, how dare you... how dare you divorce me? What right does your Shen family have to be so arrogant towards me!"

"Guards, seize Shen Jia!"

Yang Shujing never expected Shen Jia to treat him like this. Even if they wanted a divorce, it would be his letter of divorce, not Shen Jia's.

"Let me tell you, I won't let you leave so easily. Today I'm stripping you of your position as mistress. You're the lowly concubine now. I'm going to elevate Green Bamboo to the position of mistress. I won't let you go. From now on, you'll stay obediently in the Marquis's mansion and don't even think about going anywhere!"

Yang Shujing glared at Shen Jia, threatening her. Shen Jia was held firmly by several burly servants, who were no match for the servants of the Marquis's mansion.

"Yang Shujing, if you have the guts, kill me!"

"Killing you wouldn't be easy on you. Who told you to disobey your sister-in-law and insist on marrying me even if it meant death? You're mine in life and in death. I'm not letting you die, so you have to live and serve me well!"
