However, before she could finish speaking, the Golden Shadow Guard stepped forward and slapped her across the mouth.

That blow was quite forceful; it dislocated Liu's mother's jaw!

"Ugh... Waaah..." Feeling the pain but unable to speak, Liu's mother could only hold her drooping chin with her hand and desperately try to wink at her husband.

"If you have such intentions, Lord Marquis, just say so! Why hurt our family!" Liu Shen was also afraid at this moment, because he realized that Wei Tingyue was serious and not just joking. So he quickly said, "We have already decided to divorce Mudan! When she remarries Lord Marquis, it will have nothing to do with our family!"

"Waaah..." Upon hearing this, Liu's mother nodded repeatedly. It seemed that the slap had sobered her up considerably, and she could finally see clearly who was in control of the current situation.

"That sounds nice!" However, He Weifang was angry at this moment. She frowned and glared at Liu Shen, saying, "If your son hadn't just barged in and tried to force himself on me, he wouldn't be in this situation now!"

"Ah..." Liu Shen was stunned for a moment, then looked at his son, while Liu Chang lowered his head in shame.

Liu Chang has finally realized that the current disaster in his family is entirely due to his own impotent rage! Why couldn't he have considered the potential consequences of his actions before?

It's too late to regret it now!

After seeing his son's expression, Liu Shen realized that He Weifang was not lying, and he finally understood Wei Tingyu's anger.

However, he still looked at He Weifang and pleaded, "Peony! We've been family for a year! Even if Zishu is wrong, please ask the Marquis to show mercy and teach him a lesson. Why do you have to cripple him?"

Now that Liu Chang's right hand is broken, his chances of taking the imperial examinations are completely over!

Liu Shenguang felt despair just thinking about it!

"Father! What are you saying?" However, He Weifang finally unleashed the pent-up resentment she had suppressed for a year. She looked at Liu Shen with a cold smile and replied, "After all, you have done a great favor for our He family!"

"Of course! That is, provided that the Purple Rhinoceros Pill you give me is genuine!"

Upon hearing He Weifang's words, Liu Shen and his wife both showed expressions of panic!

It's obvious that He Weifang already knows about how she tricked her family with fake medicine!

In that case, it's completely understandable why the other party sees him as their mother's killer!

“Peony! I was wrong! I was blinded by greed! I was tempted by greed…” Upon seeing this, Liu Shen quickly turned around and began to kowtow to He Weifang repeatedly.

However, no matter how loudly he kowtowed, it could not make up for He Weifang's regret of losing her mother!

Especially after seeing how fickle and cowardly this little man was, He Weifang clenched her little fists tightly in anger.

The force was so great that her fingernails almost dug into her flesh, yet she felt no pain at all!

"My lord! This family must not be let off lightly!" However, He Weifang was kind-hearted after all. She did not intend to kill all three members of the Liu family to vent her hatred. She could only entrust the means of punishment to Wei Tingyu.

As the saying goes, a woman follows her husband's wishes after marriage! Although she has not yet officially entered the Marquis's mansion, she has already considered herself Wei Tingyu's equal wife, so letting the Marquis make the decision for her is the best choice!

"Lord Marquis! We know we were wrong!" Upon hearing this, Liu Shen immediately turned around and kowtowed to Wei Tingyu.

“We will write a divorce agreement right now and return all of Peony’s dowry intact!”

"We will only say that Zishu's injury was caused by an accident, and we will never go around saying it!"

"From now on, our Liu family will close our doors to guests and never get involved in any other trouble!"

"Please forgive us, Lord Marquis!"

Liu Shen could see clearly at this moment that Wei Tingyu had chopped off his son's hand and then grabbed him, his wife, and the steward, making it clear that he had no intention of leaving any way out!

So in order to save his life, he immediately gave in!

"Liu Shen, Liu Shen!" However, after seeing Liu Shen's appearance and hearing his statement, Wei Tingyu sneered twice in silence.

"If you had been more pragmatic earlier, you wouldn't be in this mess today."

"Unfortunately, it's already too late!"

Wei Tingyu coldly looked at Liu Shen and said, "Although I don't like to kill people to the death, your Liu family is an exception!"

Upon hearing Wei Tingyu's words, even He Weifang, who was still nestled in his arms, trembled. She hadn't expected Wei Tingyu to sentence the Liu family to death with just a single sentence; was he really going to kill them?

Although He Weifang hated the Liu family, she never intended to exterminate them! So when she looked at Wei Tingyu, a hint of confusion appeared in her eyes.

Because this personality seems quite different from the Wei Tingyu she knew before?!

After all, this Marquis is the kind of person who couldn't even stand the county princess stepping on a servant to get onto her carriage, yet now he's willing to wipe out the entire Liu family for his own sake?!

While this reflects the Marquis's favor towards him, it seems a bit too much of a burden!

Chapter 80 The Liu Family Annihilated! He Weifang's Predicament Upon Returning to Her Parents' Home!

"What? You think what I did was too cruel?" Wei Tingyu saw the question in He Weifang's eyes and asked with a smile.

"This humble servant dares not!" He Weifang quickly shook her head upon hearing this, knowing that she couldn't say Wei Tingyu had done anything wrong at this moment. She simply said, "I'm just a little scared and confused... How could Your Highness..."

"You're confused because you don't understand the Liu family!" Wei Tingyu wasn't angry as he looked at He Weifang in his arms, after all, he knew the girl's kind nature.

If she were to feel happy and joyful about wanting to wipe out the entire Liu family without saying a word, then she wouldn't be He Weifang!

"..." He Weifang was speechless after hearing Wei Tingyu's words, but she was still unconvinced.

After all, she had been married into the Liu family for a year! Naturally, she knew how disgusting this family's heartlessness and their tendency to fawn over the powerful and belittle the weak was!

Wei Tingyu had only been a guest at the Liu family for a few days, how could he possibly know this family better than I did?

"Tell me! I told you to invite the Liu family patriarch and his wife, why did you bring this steward along as well?" Instead of explaining to He Weifang how despicable the Liu family's actions were, Wei Tingyu turned to the three Golden Shadow Guards who had carried out the kidnapping and asked.

"Reporting to Master!" Upon receiving Wei Tingyu's inquiry, the Golden Shadow Guard immediately clasped his hands and bowed, replying, "When we arrived outside Master Liu's house, we discovered that they were plotting with the steward! So, in order not to alert them, we invited them along as well!"

"Heh! So late, what are you plotting in the room of Master Liu and his wife?" Wei Tingyu sneered, then turned to look at the steward.

"I...I..." The butler opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something. But when he saw Liu Shen glaring at him with a frown, he immediately pulled his head back.

It was obvious that he dared not tell the truth in front of Liu Shen!

Because of the inertia that has developed over the years, he is extremely fearful and obedient to his master, Liu Shen!

Of course, this was before he witnessed Wei Tingyu's methods...

He Weifang frowned slightly upon seeing this scene, because she keenly sensed that something was indeed amiss!

Moreover, seeing the housekeeper's furtive glances, sometimes unintentionally looking at her before immediately looking away and avoiding eye contact, she knew that this matter must be related to her as well!

But since we're all getting a divorce, what could you possibly be discussing with me? Are you trying to sneak in and steal some of my dowry?

Based on He Weifang's understanding of the Liu family, she thought it was very likely! It was probably something like this—a sordid affair!

However, seeing He Weifang's expression, Wei Tingyu knew what the girl was thinking. He could only shake his head helplessly, thinking to himself that she was still too naive and had no idea that there was no bottom to the evil in human nature!

Of course, what Wei Tingyu said himself was never quite effective; it was best to let the steward and the Liu family members say it themselves.

Thinking of this, he gave the Golden Shadow Guard a wink, and the Golden Shadow Guard standing behind the butler immediately obeyed the order, then stepped forward and sliced ​​off the butler's left ear with a single stroke!

"Ah!" The butler felt a sharp pain and then let out a shrill scream!

He instinctively tried to cover the wound on his left ear with his hand, but blood still gushed out from between his fingers and he couldn't stop it at all!

"Will you talk or not?" Wei Tingyu asked with a sneer, looking at the butler who was groaning in pain.

The scene was truly horrific! He could even clearly feel He Weifang hugging him even tighter in fear!

"I...I..." Upon hearing Wei Tingyu's question, the butler subconsciously looked in Liu Shen's direction again.

At this moment, Liu Shen was also terrified and turned pale, but he still glared at him fiercely, signaling him not to say anything.

However, in the instant the official hesitated, the Golden Shadow Guard raised his knife and brought it down, sending his right ear flying into the air before landing in front of Liu Shen.

This startled Liu Shen so much that he collapsed to the ground with a thud, his legs trembling uncontrollably, and his groin area seemed to be getting wet...

How could such a big person be so scared that they wet their pants?!

Wei Tingyu gave a speechless laugh!

Sure enough, these scoundrels at heart are hardly tough guys; they're all a bunch of cowards! The tougher they act, the more cowardly they actually are!

"Ah!" The butler also lost his right ear at this moment, and looked at the Golden Shadow Guard who was approaching him again with a look of horror.

"It's fine if you don't want to talk! After the ears, there's still the nose! After the nose, there are still the ten fingers!" Wei Tingyu sneered and said, "I have plenty of time to slowly wear you down! Tonight is going to be very long!"

"I'll talk! I'll talk! My lord, I'll talk!" Upon hearing Wei Tingyu's words, the steward's mental defenses completely collapsed.

Having tasted the ruthlessness of the Golden Shadow Guard, he knew that Wei Tingyu's words were definitely not just meant to scare him.

Rather than suffering the agonizing pain of being slowly cut to pieces, it's better to just say it directly!

Whether I can save my life or not is another matter, but at least I can die a quick death!

"You're not allowed..." Liu Shen shouted anxiously when he heard that the butler was actually planning to surrender.

However, he had only spoken half a sentence when a Golden Shadow Guard behind him held a knife to his ear!

The meaning is very simple: if you say one more word, your ears will be gone!

The timid Liu Shen naturally dared not try to stop the butler again, and could only tremble and shrink to the side.

"Reporting to the Marquis! The master and mistress summoned me to..." The steward paused, then cautiously glanced at He Weifang before continuing, "to find an opportunity to settle things with the young mistress..."

"What?" He Weifang was completely dumbfounded when she heard the housekeeper's words. It took her a few seconds to realize what "settling" meant.

Did the Liu couple secretly plot to kill him?

This incident completely shattered He Weifang's worldview! She never imagined that just because she divorced and left the Liu family, it would all be over. Why was it necessary to be so ruthless?

"Why?" Thinking of this, He Weifang looked directly at the housekeeper and asked in shock.

"Master Liu is reluctant to part with your dowry..." The steward shrank his neck and honestly told the whole story of what he and his companions had conspired in Liu Shen's room.
