You expect me to serve your mistress? The mistress is driving this scumbag and his entire family cra

Chapter 11 A Criminal's Seven Grounds for Divorce: I Want to Divorce My Wife

Faced with the excited and inquisitive gazes of the crowd, Liang Jiang remained calm and said, "Just now, this distinguished guest got lost and trespassed into the inner courtyard, so I kicked him out."

They lie without even thinking.

Gu Xizhi scoffed inwardly and asked Vice General He in a low voice, "Do you know this Madam Fang?"

When Deputy General He saw that Liang Jiang was looking at him indifferently, and because they hadn't seen each other for many years, and that she had changed a lot since she grew up, he was momentarily unsure.

After a moment's hesitation, she said excitedly, "They look so alike! You just said that she also comes from Yuhua Mountain, right?"

Gu Xizhi nodded: "It sounds like it has a connection with Yuhua Mountain, but whether they are disciples of the two sages is unknown."

Deputy General He immediately became excited again, sweat beading on his forehead and his face flushing red.

Then it must be her! Heaven has eyes; she really is alive. She just can't bring herself to acknowledge me here.

Lu Xingzhan rubbed his nose and readily admitted, "The Fang residence is too big. I accidentally went to the wrong door just now and happened to see your wife. I got a good scolding from her. Otherwise, your wife would have been falsely accused by this servant and would have been unable to clear her name even if she jumped into the Yellow River."

Everyone laughed it off, tacitly understanding the situation.

Who is the city lord of Fucheng? He's from a powerful and wealthy family. How could he possibly get lost in a small place like Fang Mansion? You're kidding me!
However, with the city lord testifying, could there truly be a grievance?
Fang Chengxu's face was even uglier than when he had been cuckolded, but he dared not retaliate or press the matter further.

She turned and scolded Li Sheng: "How dare you fabricate accusations to ruin the mistress's reputation! You audacious Li Sheng, what is your punishment!"

Li Sheng, unfazed and fearless, retorted, "This servant would not dare to utter a single lie. There is one thing you, young master, also know: the young mistress has a bright red auspicious cloud birthmark on her right shoulder. Is that correct?"

"How did you learn of such a secret matter concerning the young mistress?"

As soon as he asked the question, Fang Chengxu seemed to realize how stupid his words were, and immediately looked embarrassed and annoyed.

By this time, the local gentry present at the banquet believed Li Sheng's words to a great extent.

If the master and servant had not actually been intimate, how would the servant know about the woman's private matters?
Enraged, Deputy General He jumped up, rushed forward, grabbed Li Sheng by the collar, raised his fist, and punched him in the face of his thuggish appearance.

"I let you talk nonsense!"

Is this something that can be said in public?

A hail of fists rained down on Li Sheng, who screamed in agony.

His actions caught everyone off guard and left them all stunned.

The most surprised was, of course, Fang Chengxu. In his memory, Deputy General He was a veteran of many battles, and he would not show his emotions even if Mount Tai collapsed in front of him. He was never this kind of hot-tempered person.

Why is everything so strange today?
Lu Xingzhan, who loves watching a good show, stretched his neck out, gloating.

"This brother is truly a man of character, so righteous and indignant. Aren't you afraid that Lord Fang might misunderstand that you have some kind of relationship with Madam Fang? Don't end up like me, getting yourself into trouble."

Lu Xingzhan, you're more flamboyant than anyone else!
Liang Jiang never expected that the Fang family would be so despicable. Not only did they smear her, but they also exposed her privacy in front of many people.

She suppressed her anger, stepped forward and casually caught Vice General He's bowl-shaped fist, saying indifferently, "It won't do you any good even if you beat him to death."

Deputy General He looked at Liang Jiang with disappointment, thinking she was protecting her lover. He angrily shoved Li Sheng away, turned his face to the side, and his eyes reddened.

She is a princess of the Duke's mansion, how could she degrade herself like this?
Liang Jiang released her grip, turned to face Fang Chengxu, and asked calmly, "What other new tricks do you have? Show them all. With the heads of both families here today, they can be witnesses."

Fang Chengxu angrily said, "I risked my life on the border for this family, and you actually did such a despicable thing, and you still have the nerve to question me?"

"I seem to have no way to defend myself in this matter. After all, these pieces of jewelry were given to my aunt by me. If she is in cahoots with you and insists that I am lying, there is nothing I can do."

"You're still being stubborn? I didn't even know you had that birthmark on your shoulder!"

"Yes, we've never consummated our marriage, so naturally you wouldn't know. But my aunt is close to me and often stays overnight in my room, so she knows." "So, according to you, our whole family is framing you?"

“I can share your hardships. When you are dismissed and others take advantage of your misfortune, I will stay by your side and help you take care of your mother, raise your younger siblings, and support the crumbling Fang family.”

But when you're rich and powerful, you might not accept me, your wife who has shared your hardships? What means wouldn't you use to drive me out of the Fang family?

"Hmph, not only do you not repent, but you also turn around and blame others. This is slander and lewdness. With elders here, Fang Chengxu has no choice but to divorce Liang Jiang, who has committed seven crimes and disgraced the family. Today, I will divorce her. We will go our separate ways and ask everyone to be our witnesses."

Everyone nodded in agreement: "This is intolerable. They should indeed be divorced and expelled from the manor to avoid tarnishing the reputation of the Fang family."

"Yes, the Fang family is a family of generals, with a line of heroes throughout their ancestors. How can we tolerate this shameless and promiscuous woman? She must be divorced!"

The crowd was filled with righteous indignation and indignation, as if everyone had a share in Fang Chengxu's cuckoldry.

The clan head of the Liang family was utterly humiliated and remained silent. Although the mother and daughter were outsiders, they were still members of the Liang family.

Seeing Liang Jiang's calm expression, Lu Xingzhan deduced that she was confident and must have a backup plan. So he added fuel to the fire:

"That's right. Li Sheng is a scoundrel with a shifty face. What does Madam Fang see in him? He's not even worth a hair on my head. Even if you were with me, you would be a hundred times better than him."

That's really infuriating. If it weren't for the fact that he was using the city lord's name, everyone would have wanted to shove a finger into his flamboyant face.

Gu Xizhi remained silent, his eyes filled with even greater interest.

Brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones were brought out in a flowing stream.

Fang Chengxu picked up his pen with pride, knowing that his wishes would soon come true.

Liang Jiang grasped the pen in his hand and looked at him earnestly: "If you really divorce me, where will I, a helpless and weak woman, find refuge? How will I survive?"

"Of course I'll go back to your parents' home!"

"Over the past year, the Fang family has been struggling to make ends meet. My family has been subsidizing my mother's medical expenses, and my dowry has been exhausted. If I go back empty-handed, I'm afraid my family won't accept me."

Seeing how pitiful she sounded and how tightly she clung to the wolf, Fang Chengxu assumed that Liang Jiang was about to throw a tantrum and beg him in a low voice.

He scoffed disdainfully, "You think you can manipulate me with just a few taels of silver? I'll return it all to you."

Upon hearing this, Old Mrs. Fang, who had been hiding nearby, could no longer contain herself. Knowing that her son had just returned, she had no idea how much money Liang Jiang had given to the Fang family over the past year, and immediately rushed out to stop her.

“You were divorced! Ask everyone here, who has the right to take back their dowry?”

The guests nodded in agreement, indicating that this had always been the case.

"So, the dowry isn't being returned?"

“That’s right!” Old Mrs. Fang said righteously and triumphantly, “You’ve committed seven crimes and should be divorced and expelled from the mansion. This isn’t a divorce. You want a dowry? No way!”

“Then I will divorce Fang Chengxu,” Liang Jiang said casually.

Fang Chengxu scoffed disdainfully: "Even if you meet the three criteria for not getting a divorce, if you commit adultery, you are not qualified to get a divorce."

Liang Jiang sneered: "Want to divorce me? You, Fang Chengxu, need to be qualified!"

"I am your husband, do you think I am not qualified?"

Liang Jiang sighed softly, "Things have come to this point, there's no point in saying more. I'd like everyone to meet someone and let him tell me whether I'm qualified. Aunt Yu, bring him up!"
