Upon hearing this sound, Bai Mianmian reflexively stood up.
The impression Yuan Zhao left on her yesterday was too deep; just hearing that voice made her face sting again.
Seeing her fearful expression, Zhou Shiyuan felt a pang of heartache, and his gaze toward Yuan Zhao grew increasingly hostile, reaching its peak when he saw the increasingly red marks on Yuan Zhao's neck.
Do I need to tell you what you did?
“You have committed four of the seven grounds for divorce: disobeying your parents, being childless, being licentious, and being jealous. Even if you go to the emperor, you will not be able to refute them.”
Not drowning her was already the greatest mercy shown to her.
He did want to do it, but he couldn't bear the embarrassment.
Hearing his words, Yuan Zhao smiled and held up one finger:
"Let's start with the first one, not serving my parents? For the past three years, while my husband has been having a good time outside, the entire Yong'an Marquis's mansion has been supported by my dowry. How dare you say that I don't serve my parents? Have you no shame?"
As she spoke, she held up a second finger:
"Secondly, I have no children! We had only been married for a little over a month when you had this accident. I don't think I have the ability to get pregnant."
"Thirdly, adultery! May I ask, my husband, with whom have I committed adultery?"
She stared coldly at Zhou Shiyuan, betting that he wouldn't dare mention Rong Ruo's name.
Everyone knew that Rong Ruo was a womanizer, but no one dared to mention it; no one wanted to provoke that wicked star.
Veins bulged on Zhou Shiyuan's forehead; he hadn't expected Yuan Zhao to be so shameless.
She did such a shameless thing, and now she still dares to say these things in front of him.
Seeing that he was speechless after being rebuked, Yuan Zhao leaned back in his chair and said casually:
"As for being jealous, I'm only doing it for your own good, husband."
"You've only just returned, and you're already so eager to bring your mistress and her son into the household. If word gets out, it will only damage your husband's reputation."
"If we accidentally create a reputation for favoring a concubine over his wife, will my husband still want his future career?"
"you?!"
Zhou Shiyuan stared intently at Yuan Zhao. He hadn't expected Yuan Zhao to be so quick-witted; he was speechless.
Seeing the tense atmosphere and Zhou Shiyuan's apparent loss of momentum, Bai Mianmian quickly spoke up:
"Sister, don't be angry. That's not what my husband meant."
Upon hearing this, Yuan Zhao looked up at her, and suddenly a cold smile appeared on his lips.
"It seems some people have hearing problems and can't understand what I'm saying at all."
"Linglong, teach her a lesson she won't forget!"
"yes!"
Linglong responded and stepped forward, raising her hand to slap Bai Mianmian twice across the face.
Linglong had practiced martial arts, and she used all her strength in those two slaps, so Bai Mianmian's face swelled up instantly.
She acted so quickly that neither Bai Mianmian nor Zhou Shiyuan had time to react.
By the time they realized what was happening, Bai Mianmian had already been beaten.
But at this moment, Linglong said:
"These two slaps were a reward from our young lady."
"The first slap is to remind you not to randomly claim relatives in the future. My wife only gave birth to my daughter."
"The second slap is to teach you a lesson about the rules you don't understand at all."
Bai Mianmian was stunned by the beating and couldn't say a word. She looked at Yuan Zhao in fear, clearly intimidated by her.
"presumptuous!"
"Yuan Zhao, you are far too arrogant and domineering!"
Zhou Shiyuan glared at Yuan Zhao in exasperation, never expecting that Yuan Zhao would actually attack him right in front of him.
"Who gave you the audacity to do this?"
He looked at Bai Mianmian with heartache, his pain undisguised.
Yuan Zhao found it utterly ridiculous, and she said calmly:
"My husband, please don't be impatient. I haven't done anything yet."
"Wenfeng, Linglong, break her legs and throw her out."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Shiyuan's expression changed:
"You dare?"
"Then why don't you give it a try, my husband?"
Yuan Zhao looked at Zhou Shiyuan with a faint smile, but there was no smile in his eyes.
What are you all standing there for?
As soon as Yuan Zhao finished speaking, Wen Feng and Linglong walked towards Bai Mianmian together.
