The atmosphere was somewhat depressing, and Madam Ming said in a cold voice: "After all, our Ming family has never treated you badly over the years. We always miss you during the New Year and other holidays. I was wondering why you didn't come with us, but I never thought that you had changed your mind a long time ago."
In front of everyone, she scolded He Dongming harshly.
When the two got married, she was quite relieved, thinking that her daughter had finally married a good man and she could finally rest assured.
I didn't expect that one could judge a person by his appearance but not his heart. After just a few years, he had lost all law and order and was completely seduced by a frivolous woman.
He Dongming wanted to refute, but after meeting the master's gaze, he swallowed his words.
He knew that the old man still had some tricks up his sleeve, but he was still unwilling to give in. Once the divorce agreement was written, he would become a laughing stock in the capital. How would he survive?
"I know what you're thinking, but you must write the divorce letter. I've figured it out now, so I don't need to argue with you. It doesn't matter who you have in your heart. As long as you give me the divorce letter, it will have nothing to do with me from now on."
Ming Rulan still felt heartbroken when he said this, but Jiang Xueying and the others woke him up.
Indeed, there was no need for him to seek death for such a conscienceless and unpresentable man.
He Dongming didn't expect that Prince Shou would give face to the famous family. Knowing that the situation was hopeless, he gritted his teeth and agreed.
After leaving the palace, Ming Rulan had the support of her parents and felt more confident than before.
To be honest, she didn't expect her father to come, and she thought he would never forgive her.
After returning, Ming Rulan asked to take back all her dowry, land and shops, and asked them to prepare the land deeds and other documents.
How can I spit out this fat meat that has finally come into my mouth!
Hua Shi naturally refused to do so. She was still trying to argue: "Since you married into this mansion, the things you brought naturally belong to the mansion. How can you just take them away!"
"Yes, many of the clothes you have now were bought by me. Do you want to take them with you?"
He Dongming was filled with rage at the moment. He had originally wanted to take the opportunity to teach Ming Rulan a lesson, but he did not expect to be outmaneuvered and even Princess Shou intervened.
Ming Rulan looked at them quietly, as if she was looking at something funny; her eyes were always cold and without a trace of warmth.
"You don't have to play dumb in front of me. I've already told you that this is my dowry. According to the laws of this dynasty, these things should be mine. You can't take them away."
Now that her emotions have stabilized, her mind has become much clearer, and her words are clear and logical.
The nanny who had been following her couldn't help but speak up: "Our young lady is right. The dowry is one thing, and the things she bought in this mansion are another. They can't be confused."
He Dongming felt pained when he thought about all that money being moved out of the house.
At this moment, he still wanted to show off his power, saying something inappropriate: "You just relied on your famous family's power to embarrass me in front of everyone today. Is this the way to be a wife?"
After hearing this, Ming Rulan found it ridiculous.
"Stop saying such things, it's disgusting. I think I have done nothing wrong to you, but you kept pushing me and almost killed me. Now you keep saying such shameless things, aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning?"
Ming Rulan made some harsh remarks to mock him.
Seeing that they still refused to hand over the dowry, he raised his hand and said, "You guys come forward and teach the prefect a lesson for me. Let him know what the sky is high and what the earth is thick."
"Yes, Miss!"
The guards sent by Master Ming had received orders long ago and beat He Dongming mercilessly, leaving him with a bruised face and blood at the corners of his mouth.
Hua was so frightened that her face turned pale. She didn't expect Ming Rulan to let someone take action. For a moment, her arrogance disappeared.
After some intimidation, the two men finally handed over all the dowry, land and shops. They were indeed reluctant in their hearts, but it was beyond their control.
Ming Rulan took off the jewelry she was wearing and threw it directly at He Dongming: "You bought this for me when we first got married. I have been wearing it with me all the time. I never thought that you would say such heartless words now. I don't want these things anymore."
As she spoke, she looked at Hua again and asked her to quickly take off the jewelry that belonged to her.
"If it were in the past, I could give these things to anyone, but not now. I would rather throw them away than let you wear them."
After Ming Rulan collected the dowry, she ordered the Ming family's servants to carry the dowry away.
Watching her retreating figure, Hua and the prefect were filled with hatred, but they could do nothing because the dowry was indeed hers. If they insisted on taking possession of it, they would probably report it to the government.
Ming Rulan had already boarded the carriage. She was thinking that this time, thanks to Jiang Xueying's help, she should thank her very much.
When they arrived at the restaurant and saw Jiang Xueying, she handed her the deed to the restaurant.
"Miss Jiang, I can't repay you for saving my life. You also helped me a lot later. I really don't know how to thank you. It just so happens that the deed to your restaurant is mine. I'm giving it to you today so that your kindness to me will not be in vain."
Jiang Xueying waved her hands repeatedly: "Sister Ming, this won't do. To be precise, I didn't help much. I just went with the flow. You don't have to worry about it."
She refused to accept it, after all, the title deed was very valuable and the location was pretty good.
Ming Rulan went to force the land deed on her and said, "It's not a matter of whether it's feasible or not. This is what you deserve. I've also prepared a small gift for Miss Chen."
She gave Chen Simin a famous painting as a token of her gratitude.
"Please accept it, both of you. Otherwise, I will feel really bad. You have helped me so much and saved me from the King of Hell. This little thing is nothing."
She said it very sincerely, so Chen Simin stopped pushing it back and forth and accepted it. She also advised Jiang Xueying: "Since Sister Ming means so well, it's okay for us to accept it. This will also be considered as not disappointing her."
After hearing what she said, Jiang Xueying had no choice but to accept it.
“It’s really nothing.”
Jiang Xueying poured a cup of tea for Ming Rulan as she spoke: "We were just helping you out. You were the one who suffered the most, and you were the one who made up your mind to divorce. Fortunately, now you have finally gotten your reward after all the hardships you have endured."
Ming Rulan's eyes were slightly red, and she was filled with emotion at this moment.
Only now has she understood life clearly. If she encounters such bad things in the future, she will no longer tolerate it. She will fight back when necessary and take revenge when necessary.
"Today is a happy day. We two will host a simple meal for you and celebrate your escape from suffering."
