Lu Yanke finally got to experience what it's like to have money in hand.
He would invite his friends to restaurants every day for lavish meals and drinks.
I just don't know who they offended.
On the first day, he came out drunk. As soon as he left the restaurant, he was dragged into an alley, put in a sack, and beaten severely.
Fortunately, there were no marks on his face, but he was in pain all over his body.
The next day, he went out despite his injuries, and this time, he was dragged into an alley.
Lu Yanke was so frightened that he knelt down on both knees: "Great hero, spare my life! I'll give you all the money I have on me."
After saying that, he didn't even dare to raise his head and handed over all the silver notes he had.
"Ha, what a coward!" Jiang He kicked him twice in anger.
Lu Yanke looked up and saw that it was his second brother-in-law.
"What are you doing?" He suddenly stood up.
"Not afraid anymore? Not begging for mercy?" Jiang He sneered.
"You've committed insubordination!" Lu Yanke shouted, pointing at Jiang He.
"Go ahead? Who do you think you are?" Jiang He's fist flew straight at his face. "Today I'm going to beat you up."
The servant was completely useless.
Lu Yanke was completely powerless to resist.
“I’m going to report you to the authorities,” he roared.
"Go ahead and sue! I'm just teaching my shameless brother-in-law a lesson. What bigwig would care?" Jiang He wasn't afraid at all.
Even if he really caused trouble, his father would smooth things over for him.
"Stop hitting me, stop hitting me, I admit my mistake." Lu Yanke couldn't take it anymore.
"Wrong, do you know where you went wrong?" Jiang He looked at Lu Yanke, whose head was swollen like a pig's.
"I will treat your sister well and I will not neglect her again."
"Didn't you want to divorce my sister?" Jiang He punched her again before she finished speaking.
“I won’t divorce her. I will treat her well. I will consummate our marriage, get her pregnant, and give her the dignity that a legal wife should have.”
"Slap!" The hard slap made Lu Yanke see stars.
“A child! You think everyone wants your offspring? You better remember this: sign the divorce papers tomorrow, and from now on, you and my sister will go your separate ways.”
"Divorce? No way!" Lu Yanke retorted instinctively.
After the divorce, Jiang Chuwei couldn't keep any of her dowry.
That was a grand wedding procession of ten miles.
Even though he was beaten black and blue, Lu Yanke's mind remained clear.
How could he possibly give up such a large sum of money?
"You're just after my sister's dowry, aren't you? You're tired of living. Fine, you won't divorce me, huh? You want to divorce me? Let's see if you live to see it!"
After he finished speaking, fists rained down on him.
"Divorce me? Dream on! I'll beat you every time I see you. You try and see if my sister's dowry is more important than your life!"
Hearing his brother-in-law's harsh words, Lu Yanke was indeed scared: "I'll sign, I'll sign, okay? Just stop hitting me."
"Fine! If you back out tomorrow, I'll have plenty of opportunities to deal with you."
The river, having had its fill of fighting, galloped away.
The servant helped Lu Yanke wipe the wounds on his face.
Lu Yanke pushed him away impatiently: "Why did you act like you were dead just now?"
"I deserve to die, I deserve to die," the servant kept kowtowing and begging for mercy.
With his brother-in-law's imposing manner, how could someone as skinny as him withstand a single punch?
Lu Yanke shouted, "Help me up."
It seems I'll need to hire some samurai to protect me.
Let's get a divorce, and let the Jiang family rot in the Marquis's mansion for the rest of our lives!
After being beaten, he quickly forgot what Jiang He had said: if they didn't get a divorce, he would beat him every time they met.

"Xia Qi, don't say anything. Just pretend you were barked at by a dog."
"The Crown Prince will sign the divorce papers tomorrow."
"What can I do if I don't sign?"
"There's nothing I can do, but I'll have to trouble my second brother to beat you up every day," Jiang Chuwei said.
Lu Yanke: ...
Lu Yanke came to Ya Fang Courtyard mainly to test Jiang Chuwei's attitude.
How could Jiang be willing to divorce him?
Lu Yanke forced open his eyes, which were swollen into a thin line.
Jiang must be lying; she likes him so much.
But he saw not a trace of lingering affection on Jiang Chuwei's face.
Lu Yanke left in a huff.
Granny Qiu asked worriedly, "Miss! Will the divorce go smoothly tomorrow?"
"Don't worry, he wouldn't dare not sign," Jiang Chuwei said.
Lu Yanke cherishes his life the most.
"Now that he can make money so quickly, and he's even connected with Prince Jin, he naturally looks down on the General's Mansion. Besides, if I don't leave, how can Qiao Xuerou become the Crown Prince's wife?"
Jiang Chuwei overestimated Lu Yanke.
He really didn't want a divorce.
Seeing that Jiang Chuwei showed no lingering affection for him, he was unwilling to give up.
On what grounds? She says she wants a divorce, so we just get a divorce.

next day
Early in the morning, Lu Yanke prepared to make a quick getaway.
As long as he's not home, it's pointless for anyone to come to the General's Mansion.
The divorce agreement is invalid because it lacks his signature.
But as soon as he stepped out, he was grabbed and brutally beaten by a group of men in black.
This time, he didn't introduce himself, and it wasn't just a superficial injury; he even broke a rib.
After finishing the beating, the man in black said, "Our master said that Young Master Lu has gone too far and deserves to be beaten. If he doesn't change his ways, he'll have both legs broken tomorrow."
Lu Yanke howled in pain: "This is outrageous! In broad daylight, they actually attacked someone! I'm going to file a complaint with the Emperor!"
The servant asked tremblingly, "Your Highness, who should we report to?"
Lu Yanke: "The Jiang family, this must be someone sent by that bastard Jiang He."
