Tang Yi's face darkened. Was there really nothing else they could say to each other?
"Are you so eager to separate from me? Is being my wife a disservice to you?"
Tang Yi pulled Jiang Liu's arm, but Jiang Liu shook him off.
"Yes, I don't care about the title of magistrate's wife at all!"
Upon hearing Jiang Liu's words, Tang Yi's face was filled with displeasure.
"Liu'er, I know you don't like Hu Ying. I have already ordered her to be imprisoned. Several months later, after she gives birth to her child, I will give the child to you."
Jiang Liu sneered, "Don't give me that nonsense. If I want to raise a child, I'll give birth myself."
Tang Yi leaned closer to Jiang Liu, trying to soften his voice, and whispered in a tone only the two of them could hear:
"Liu'er, if you want your own child, let's have one together. From now on, we'll live a good life together. I only ask that you forgive my past mistakes and don't leave again, okay?"
Jiang Liu stepped back. "There is no future between us."
Seeing Jiang Liu's decisive refusal, Tang Yi thought of Qiu Dafu, "Because of Qiu Yan's second uncle?"
Jiang Liu remained silent; she didn't know how she truly felt about Qiu Dafu.
Seeing that Jiang Liu did not refute him, Tang Yi's enthusiasm was extinguished, and in an instant, it turned into a raging fire.
"Jiang Liu, you are a lady of a respectable family, yet you are promiscuous and shameless! You...you have no shame!" He raised his arm and slapped Jiang Liu across the face.
"From this day forward, you and Hu Ying are both forbidden from leaving the Tang residence!"
He absolutely could not tolerate his woman falling in love with another man.
Jiang Liu covered her cheek in pain, overwhelmed with grievances.
She raised her hand to hit back, but Tang Yi held her wrist tightly, making her unable to move.
"You once said you'd be with me for life... just the two of us, but you..."
Living such a painful life is worse than death.
Tang Yi's subordinate paused slightly, "There's no divorce agreement, only a letter of separation!"
A woman who is divorced and sent back home will be looked down upon, and her family will not take her in.
"I just want a divorce agreement!"
"You've committed one of the seven grounds for divorce, and you still want a divorce agreement? Dream on!"
As Tang Yi spoke, he forcibly dragged Jiang Liu back to her original residence.
Qiu Dafu saw the scene at the Tang residence from afar and rushed there without saying a word.
The servants at the gate couldn't stop him and were even beaten to the ground by Qiu Dafu. At this moment, they could only groan in pain at the gate.
Once Qiu Dafu entered the Tang residence, Jiang Liu had already been pulled back to her original courtyard by Tang Yi.
With a loud bang, Tang Yi slammed the gate of the villa shut.
At the same time, with a bang, Qiu Dafu kicked the door open.
Tang Yi grew even angrier as he watched Qiu Dafu running towards him from afar. He slapped Jiang Liu again.
"I didn't expect you to bring him along!"
His face was ashen. This Qiu Dafu, though he looked upright, was a despicable man who only liked other men's women.
"Stop!" Qiu Dafu quickly stepped forward, grabbed Tang Yi's wrist, and blocked Jiang Liu's path.
Jiang Liu closed her eyes, quickly drew his dagger, and held it to her own neck.
Qiu Dafu's heart jumped into his throat. "Jiang Liu, what are you doing?"
Tang Yi froze, "Liu'er, stop!"
Qiu Dafu tried to take back the dagger, but Jiang Liu brought the blade closer.
Instantly, drops of blood seeped from her neck.
Qiu Dafu: "Jiang Liu, don't do anything foolish."
Jiang Liu gave a bitter smile. "Tang Yi, write the divorce papers now. Otherwise, I'll die right now!"
A trace of sorrow flashed across Tang Yi's face. "Liu'er, would you rather die than stay?"
"Yes, even if I die, I will never be your husband again."
Tang Yi was on the verge of collapse. "Am I really that worthless?" Song Jiao refused to marry him, and now Jiang Liu was being so heartless to him.
Jiang Liu pursed her lips and choked out, "You are very good, but I am not worthy of your kindness."
She tried everything to get a divorce agreement, but Tang Yi refused to agree no matter what.
Now, they have no choice but to threaten suicide.
However, this time, she overestimated herself.
Tang Yi looked at Jiang Liu indifferently, his initial unease gradually turning into calm:
"Jiang Liu, even if you die, you can only be buried in my Tang family's ancestral graveyard. You want to die, right? I'll grant your wish."
He just watched Jiang Liu quietly, waiting for her to do it herself.
"Jiang Liu, stop!" Qiu Dafu's voice trembled; he knew the knife was incredibly sharp.
Seeing Jiang Liu's utter despair, he was frantic with worry. "Lord Tang, agree to her request!"
Tang Yi said coldly, "Let her die!" Before he finished speaking, Qiu Dafu punched him hard in the eye.
Meanwhile, Qiu Dafu kept a close eye on Jiang Liu, fearing she might do something foolish.
Jiang Liu's eyes were red and swollen; only now did she realize...
Her life was utterly worthless in his eyes; she... posed no threat to him.
While Jiang Liu was distracted, Qiu Dafu swiftly extended his right arm, grabbed the hilt of the knife, and snatched the dagger back from Jiang Liu's hand.
"Jiang Liu, you have a long life ahead of you. Don't risk your life for a moment of anger."
"Qiu Dafu, how dare you assault this official! Guards, arrest this man and throw him in jail!" Tang Yi was even more furious upon hearing Qiu Dafu's words.
Thump! Another powerful punch landed, and Qiu Dafu gave Tang Yi a black eye.
Jiang Liu saw the guards running towards her from afar, slammed the gate shut, and blocked them outside.
Tang Yi glared angrily at Jiang Liu, then quickly retaliated against Qiu Dafu, and the two started fighting right in front of Jiang Liu.
However, Tang Yi was clearly no match for Qiu Dafu.
Jiang Liu stood beside Qiu Dafu and said softly, "Qiu Dafu, let's go."
Tang Yi is now determined not to divorce her, and she has no way to do anything about it.
Tang Yi rubbed his swollen eyes. "Want to leave? Dream on!"
Seeing Tang Yi reach out to strike him, Qiu Dafu grabbed his left arm, restrained him, and then, with a sudden burst of strength...
With a cracking sound, Tang Yi screamed in pain, breaking out in a cold sweat.
This man actually dislocated his left arm.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Qiu Dafu, I am the county magistrate!"
So what if he's a county magistrate? For Jiang Liu, Qiu Dafu is willing to risk everything.
He stepped forward, grabbed Tang Yi by the neck, and dragged him into a side room.
"Write the divorce papers now! Otherwise, I'll kill you!"
"How dare you threaten me!"
Qiu Dafu increased the pressure in his hand, pressing the dagger directly against Tang Yi's neck, and repeated, "Write the divorce papers now!"
Jiang Liu, who was standing beside him, was dumbfounded. This was the first time Tang Yi had been lectured like this.
However, she felt very relieved watching it.
However, she was also afraid that Qiu Dafu might do something irreversible in a moment of impulse.
"Don't even think about it!" Tang Yi still refused to write. He didn't believe that Qiu Dafu could really kill him.
Qiu Dafu lost his patience. He gripped the dagger and, with a soft thud, forcefully stabbed it into Tang Yi's lower abdomen.
