I was a stepmother in ancient times, and I led my whole family to wealth.

Chapter 105 Li's Divorce

Li was pushed so hard she stumbled, but stood up straight, one hand on her hip and the other pointing at the whole family: "Fine, very well, Gu Yaozong, I want your Gu family to return all the money you've spent on the Li family these past few years. You just wait."

After saying that, he walked towards the village, stopped after a few steps, and walked back, this time coming directly to Lu Yunqing.

She knelt down with a thud, her face filled with grief and indignation, and said, "Your Honor, please do justice for me! I want a divorce from Gu Yaozong."

Old Mrs. Gu, holding Gu Meiyu tightly, shouted fiercely, "Li Shi! How dare you!"

Li remained unmoved, pretending not to hear what Granny Gu said, and kowtowed to Lu Yunqing one head after another.

Lu Yunqing asked seriously, "Li, what about the dowry you mentioned earlier?"

Li paused in her kowtowing, looked up at Dongfang Jin, moved her legs, and kowtowed to her as well: "Sister, I'm sorry, it's not true, there were no recipes in my dowry."

I was out of my mind, I was wrong, I don't ask for your forgiveness, but I was really wrong.

If Gu Yaozong is unjust, then don't blame me for being unjust. No, that family genealogy doesn't belong to the Li family, much less the Gu family.

Granny Gu would come to search our room almost every two days to see if there was anything valuable inside…

After that, Li completely tore away the fig leaf covering up the Gu family's true colors.

Dongfang Jin nodded without saying anything; she admired the woman's rationality.

It's worth noting that in ancient times, women who dared to propose divorce were rare.

Divorced women don't have a good life either.

What's more, she has two daughters.

Haha, they say that couples are like birds in the same forest; when disaster strikes, they fly away separately. It seems that's true.

Gu Yaozong's eyes widened: "Li, you dare to divorce me? Where can you go after the divorce?"

Do you think your family will take you in? Your sisters-in-law won't even let a divorced woman into their home.

Is this a threat?

Since the Li family was able to sell your house completely, it proves that they are determined to get a divorce.

Can't you see that? You idiot!

Li gave him a cold look: "That's none of your business."

Old Mrs. Gu glared at Li with eyes as if they were poisoned, and gritted her teeth, saying, "A divorce is fine. You must leave with nothing, and take those two good-for-nothing children you gave birth to with you."

Looking at her, Li smiled sadly: "Very well, very well. Please, Your Excellency, grant justice for this woman."

Lu Yunqing: "Are you really going to get a divorce?"

Li insisted, "Yes."

Lu Yunqing asked again, "Even if it means leaving with nothing?"

Tears streamed down Li's face, and an aura of sorrow immediately emanated from her. She closed her eyes briefly, gritted her teeth, and said, "Yes!"

After both parties insisted, Li and Gu Yaozong went through with a divorce.

Holding the divorce papers, Li kowtowed to Lu Yunqing again, then got up and left without looking back.

Gu Yaozong tried to leave, but Axi kicked him to the ground.

"This isn't over yet, where are we going?"

Gu Yaozong dared not speak out against his anger, and could only kneel down again.

At this moment, a villager brought Grandpa Xu over to examine Gu Meiyu's eyes.

After the magistrate gave his permission, Grandpa Xu examined Gu Meiyu's eyes and said that her eyes were fine.

The upper eyelid is injured, which is probably difficult to treat. Even if it is cured, the upper eyelid will not be able to exert any force.

Dongfang Jin...

Okay? This guy plays with skill.

Now, when Gu Meiyu looks at people again, should she use tape to stick their upper eyelids on?

Haha ...

It's ridiculous just thinking about it.

Did they have adhesive tape in ancient times?

Hmm, you could use two small sticks to prop it up?

Just like when they were little, they would use purslane and sweet potato stalks to prop up their eyelids and pretend to be ghosts to scare people.

Haha ...

She's hilarious.

Then look at Gu Meiyu, upon hearing what Grandpa Xu said, she let out a scream and fainted.

Should……

A young woman, she looks at men like they're merchandise.

You got ripped off this time!

What is this called?

What goes around comes around...

Hahaha……

But this time they kicked a really tough nut to crack!

With the county magistrate present, Old Lady Gu dared not cause any trouble and silently cried while holding Gu Meiyu.

Pooh……

A bully who picks on the weak and fears the strong...

Upon the arrival of Grandpa Xu, Madam Li left in tears, and not long afterward...

People kept coming and going on the way from Lingwu Village to Gu Chenglin's house.

Watching the excitement...

You should know that the distance from the edge of Lingwu Village to here is at least two miles, and these people don't seem to mind the hardship; they're really addicted.

During this time, Lin Lizheng kept looking at her. Dongfang Jin knew that Lin Lizheng was afraid that the county magistrate would investigate Gu Chenglin's corvée labor and military service.

If this were investigated, he, as the village head, would also be punished.

His grandson is still in a private school.

Dongfang Jin smiled at him and gave him a reassuring look.

The matter is over, and Gu Chenglin has served in the army for five years. Since things have come to this point, if the Gu family doesn't come looking for trouble, who will bring up old grievances?

Dongfang Jin glanced at the stunned Clan Chief Gu and the dumbfounded Gu Yucheng, and pursed her lips.

Is this the gamble your family has been putting all their eggs in one basket?

That's a blow?

This is nothing!

Her affair with the old woman who stole the child hasn't been exposed yet.

Then, you'll have your moment of true regret.

Chief Gu, I hope you'll still be alive by then...

There were also Gu Yaozu and his wife kneeling to the side pretending to be quails, and Gu Yaozong, who seemed to be lost in thought.

Dongfang Jin pursed her lips again, genuinely not wanting to get involved, but if she didn't, Lin Lizheng's eyes would probably be glued to her.

Sigh, she's still a bit soft-hearted.

Helpless, they had no choice but to end this farce.

She looked up at Changsun Lan and smiled brightly: "Handsome guy, come sit at my house for a while?"

Changsun Lan smiled as she pointed to the house in front of her: "Is this your home?"

"Yes, my humble abode is simple and unassuming. I wonder if you, esteemed guest, would grace my humble abode with your presence and add some splendor to my humble dwelling?"

At this moment, Lu Yunqing said with dissatisfaction, "I am the one who is rightfully in charge."

"Ah? Oh! Then please, Your Excellency, grace my humble abode with your presence."

"Look, you haven't even gone in yet, and my humble abode is already adorned with splendor," Dongfang Jin said, bowing as if to invite her in.

Lu Yunqing reached out and tapped her forehead: "You smooth talker, go and bring out your secret stash to entertain our distinguished guests. I am only accompanying you today."

“Yes, Aunt Hui, let’s go get ready,” Dongfang Jin said, pulling Jun Wenhui along.

She genuinely admired her ability to kneel for so long; didn't her knees hurt?

After Dongfang Jin left, Changsun Lan and Helian Shuo rode their horses to the gate and tied their horses to the horse posts at the gate.

Lu Yunqing looked at Lin Peisheng: "Village Chief Lin, I will give you a major demerit for this matter."

If a similar incident occurs again, it will not be tolerated lightly.

Chief Gu, if I may be so bold as to speak out, those who commit many unrighteous acts will surely bring about their own downfall.

After saying that, he waved his sleeve and led Anxi toward the courtyard gate, with Changsun Lan and the others following closely behind into the courtyard.

Gu Chenglin didn't even glance at them or pay any attention to them. Instead, he led Ma Wencai and his group, along with their horse-drawn carriage and oxcart, directly through the small gate into the courtyard.

He didn't say another word to anyone in the village, including the village head.

Fang Shiyu and the others wanted to leave, but Gu Chenglin stopped them, pointed at Jun Qirui, and said only one sentence: He is the scholar who was supposed to take the exam.

Okay, the group went straight in.

Jun Qirui...

Is this a good idea, Brother Chenglin?

Seeing the five pairs of glowing eyes, he had no choice but to invite them into his own courtyard.

After everyone had gone inside, Lin Li waved to all the villagers and said, "Let's go, and don't watch the excitement anymore."

After saying that, he turned to the two clan heads, Sun and Xu, and said, "Would you like to come to my house for a visit?"

Chief Xu nodded.

Chief Sun said, "Okay."

Lin Lizheng then looked at Grandpa Xu: "Brother Xu, want to come along?"

“Alright, I was just thinking of having your tea,” said Grandpa Xu, and the group left.

Similarly, no one paid any attention to the Gu family or the Gu clan leader.

Seeing this, the villagers also left one after another.

On the road, onlookers:

"Is Cheng Lin about to make it big?"
