What? I, Su Degui, always keep my word. If I say we're getting a divorce, then we're getting a divorce.
"Heh, Su Degui, do you think you're the number one person? And that your word is law? I don't believe you at all."
Don't you often spout nonsense on ordinary days?
If I could believe you are a man of your word, I'd rather believe pigs can fly.
"Then what do you suggest we do? How can we make you believe us?"
Of course, it should be put in writing...
There are no paper or pens here.
Isn't there one with the official? Let's go to the official and have him be a witness.
Su Degui gritted his teeth and said, "Fine, I'll go with you to see the official."
It must be said that Su Degui's concubine was no ordinary prostitute; she was a top courtesan in the entertainment industry back then.
Su Degui was perfectly manipulated by this scheme.
The two walked towards the officials one after the other. The concubine looked delighted, but Su Degui looked as if his parents had died. One might have thought he was extremely reluctant to part with his concubine.
At this moment, Su Degui was thinking that since she wanted a divorce and wanted it in writing, he should ask for more money.
He couldn't let this wretched woman get away with it so easily. Back then, he had spent five thousand taels of silver to redeem her from her mother when she was at the height of her fame.
Now this bitch thinks she can get rid of him with ten taels of silver? Ha! Don't even think about it.
The two quickly arrived at the taxi stand.
When Yang Yi saw Su Degui and the other man approaching, he casually asked, "What's the matter?"
Su Degui's concubine hurriedly said to Yang Yi, "Sir, my husband and I are preparing for a divorce and would like to borrow some paper and pen from you."
Let the officials be our witnesses as well.
If it is permissible to bear witness, I will lend you paper and pen for five taels of silver.
Upon hearing this, Su Degui extorted five taels of silver for just a few scraps of paper and a little ink. This was outrageous!
The concubine didn't think so. She thought, compared to her future freedom, what are these five taels?
So the concubine nodded in agreement.
Yang Yi instructed his men to fetch paper and pen.
"Tell me the reason. Why are you divorcing?"
The concubine quickly stepped forward and explained the whole story.
She cried and complained about her grievances, saying that she was genuinely doing what was best for her family, but Su Degui not only wronged her, but also beat her to death.
Yang Yi may seem cold on the surface, but he is actually quite soft-hearted. If it were any other escort, they would definitely not provide the paper and pens unless they demanded at least ten taels of silver.
This may be related to his time as a beggar when he was homeless.
After listening to Su Degui's concubine's words, Yang Yi nodded and then turned to look at Su Degui.
"how do you say?……"
Sir, don't listen to this slut's lies. Do you think I don't know what kind of person she is? She's a promiscuous woman. I spent five thousand taels of silver to redeem her from my mother at the brothel.
Since she's asking for a divorce, she should at least give me fifty taels of silver based on the current situation.
The concubine panicked upon hearing this. They had just agreed on ten taels, but now the official was demanding a higher price. This was unacceptable.
She only had two hundred taels of silver in her hands, and she didn't know how long it would last her on the journey.
She had to be careful with the money she had.
Su Degui wanted a quarter of her money as soon as he opened his mouth; don't even think about it.
“Su Degui, we just agreed on ten taels. You little scoundrel, as soon as you get to the officials, you start to raise the price on the spot. Are you even a man?”
Don't you know whether I'm a man or not?
You always cry out and beg for mercy under me.
“Su Degui…”
What, isn't that right?
“Su Degui, you’re a disgrace to men. Your behavior is a disgrace to all men.”
So what if I lose face? Compared to my life, I choose the latter.
"Su Degui, since you are so shameless, I want the officials to judge this matter."
On what grounds? I spent five thousand taels to redeem you from that brothel back then.
Now it's only fifty taels, which is already cheap enough.
