"How much?" Hu Qiuxiang and Wang Ergou were both shocked when they heard this.
"Ten thousand taels, this is only a portion of it. If you join the Empress, you will have countless wealth and splendor in the future~"
The father-in-law who announced the decree stepped forward, smiled happily and pulled Liu Cuicui and her daughter up.
Liu Cuicui was still in a daze.
"Hey, hey, sister, sister, don't go."
"Sister, you've been kidnapped for many years. Your life must have been very difficult."
“Coming back here now is like coming home.”
"Sister, Brother Ergou thought you were dead back then. He took pity on Du Xiaoxue because she was too young, so he married me."
"Since you are back now, I am willing to be your concubine and return the position of wife to you. Please don't blame me."
Hu Qiuxiang rubbed her hands nervously and smiled awkwardly.
Out of sight, she kicked the man next to her.
"Yes, yes," Wang Ergou came back to his senses immediately and smiled with a licking face.
"Cui Cui, we haven't seen each other for many years. Do you know how much I have liked you over the years?"
"I have been looking forward to you so much that I finally got you back safely."
"From now on, our family of five will never be separated again."
Wang Ergou spoke in a firm tone and with a very serious expression.
Liu Cuicui looked at the couple in front of her who changed their attitude faster than turning the pages of a book, and she just wanted to spit in their faces.
In order to keep herself, Hu Qiuxiang was willing to be his concubine.
But Wang Ergou didn't object and even said that the family of five would never be separated again.
A family of five, does it refer to her, Wang Ergou, Hu Qiuxiang, Xiaoxue, and the fat boy who bullied Xiaoxue many times?
It's so disgusting. Who would want to become a family with these two rotten-hearted people?
Do they want to become a family with me?
What a joke, they just heard about their high pensions.
At this moment, these two black-hearted people are probably already planning in their minds how to squeeze out their surplus value.
Liu Cuicui also reacted at this moment and quickly bowed deeply to the eunuch who announced the decree to express her gratitude.
She was very grateful for the Queen's kindness.
It was obvious that he was here to support his poor self.
Since this is the case, she cannot let the Queen down by being bullied for no reason.
Thinking of this, Liu Cuicui turned her head, looked at Hu Qiuxiang and Wang Ergou with a cold expression, and said in a serious tone.
"Don't talk about becoming a family, I refuse..."
"Wang Ergou, I was kidnapped back then, and it's understandable that you married someone else. I don't blame you."
"But... Xiaoxue is your own flesh and blood. Even a tiger wouldn't eat its own cubs. How could you tolerate her being abused and bullied like this? I will never, ever forgive you."
"Wang Ergou, I want to divorce you!"
"Not only do I want a divorce, I also want to take away all my dowry!"
Liu Qingqing's voice was firm and her expression was very determined.
She is a mother and she will never allow anyone to bully her daughter.
"You, Cuicui, are you crazy?!"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Wang Ergou was shocked when he heard this.
Liu Cuicui actually said that she wanted to divorce me?
The little girl who loved to follow me around since she was little, calling me brother, saying she would marry me when she grew up and loved me more than herself, actually said she wanted to divorce me?
"Sister, it's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding." Hu Qiuxiang saw this and immediately said with a flattering smile.
"I was so angry today that I hit Xiaoxue. The scars on her body were all caused by her accidentally bumping into things while doing housework. I have always treated her like my own daughter. If you don't believe me, ask her yourself."
As Hu Qiuxiang spoke, she glanced at Xiaoxue with a warning look.
Xiaoxue had been under the tyranny of Hu Qiuxiang for many years. Her look frightened Xiaoxue so much that she shuddered all over and subconsciously wanted to kneel down and admit her mistake.
Seeing this, Liu Cuicui quickly helped her up and held her in her arms.
She turned around and stared at Hu Qiuxiang fiercely.
"Shut up! If you dare to scare my daughter again, I will never forgive you!" Liu Cuicui threatened coldly.
She stared and then glanced at Wang Ergou.
"Wang Ergou, let me tell you, I'm not discussing this with you, I'm just informing you."
"I want to divorce you."
"This house, if I remember correctly, is all my dowry."
"And all my jewelry and dowry are all on record at the government office. Wang Ergou, you'd better carefully count them one by one."
As Liu Cuicui spoke, she turned around, took Xiaoxue's hand and wanted to leave.
“Wait!”
"It seems that you are really determined to divorce!"
"You can leave if you want, but Xiaoxue is from my Wang family, she must stay!"
When Wang Ergou heard that Liu Cuicui not only wanted to divorce him but also asked him to return all her dowry, he couldn't help but feel anxious and angry.
He grew up in a poor family.
But Liu Cuicui's family has been carpenters for three generations, so although they are not very rich, they are not short of money either.
Back then, Liu Cuicui could have married into a better family.
But under the attack of his sweet words, she gradually lost herself and insisted on staying with him for the rest of her life.
Seeing that Liu Cuicui was so stubborn, her family had no choice but to agree.
Unable to bear the thought of their daughter suffering with a poor boy like them, the old couple prepared a generous dowry for their only daughter.
So... we can’t say that 100% of this family’s wealth, but at least 80% of it was brought by Liu Cuicui.
Now, the only thing to do is to work hard to have the child. In this way, according to the rules of Xuanlong Country, the woman can only take away half of the dowry when she divorces.
The remaining half is left to the children.
It is said to be for the child, but isn’t it actually for yourself in disguise?
Besides, Liu Cuicui will be rich in the future.
As long as I hold the child hostage, are you still worried that I won’t be able to spend her money?
Thinking of this, Wang Ergou smiled proudly in his heart.
This era is inherently tolerant of men, and the neighbors all know that I have been taking care of Xiaoxue for many years. Even if I take the case to the government, I will be right!
Upon hearing this, Liu Cuicui immediately saw through Wang Ergou's despicable thoughts. She turned around and angrily scolded Wang Ergou for being shameless and unworthy of being a human being.
At this time, the eunuch who had not spoken for a long time beside her suddenly smiled.
"Liu Cuicui's background and demands have been filed with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
"Her personal appeal is only to her daughter."
"Tell me... would His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and your Majesty the Queen agree to this small request?"
The father-in-law stared at Wang Ergou with a smile.
Upon hearing this, the smug smile on Wang Ergou's face suddenly froze.
Yes, how could he forget.
This woman is now under the protection of the Queen.
Your Majesty, this is not something an ordinary farmer like him can afford to offend.
Wang Ergou watched Liu Cuicui walk away with Xiaoxue in her arms, feeling as if countless glittering silver coins were waving goodbye to him...
