Li Shuang's martial arts skills were truly high. In no time, one of the guards was dead and three were injured. The people behind saw the rolling heads and were too frightened to go forward.

Seeing that she hadn't suffered any loss, Nangong Wu put the pistol under her long sleeves back into her spatial storage, then took out a roll of paper and said to Zhou Zheng:

"Duke of Wei, you haven't forgotten how you got Zhou Shaorong to propose to me, the princess, back then, have you?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Zheng's expression changed several times. "What do you want to do?"

"Of course I'll take back what belongs to me." Nangong Wu held up what she was holding. "Give me back my dowry, or I'll destroy this marriage certificate."

"Don't even think about it!" Zhou Shaorong glared at her fiercely.

"Nangong Wu, you shamelessly insisted on marrying me, then you had an affair and became pregnant with an illegitimate child. Now you've disrupted my wedding, slashing Yue'er's face and ears. You're doomed! And you still want your dowry?"

"You're doomed!" Nangong Wu sneered disdainfully. "If you could kill me, you would have done it already."

Madam Zhou seemed genuinely afraid that she would burn the marriage certificate, so she pulled her son away and said, "Nangong Wu, now that you have married into my Zhou family, you are a member of my Zhou family and must abide by the rules of my Zhou family."

You'd better go back now, or we won't hold your injuries and murders against you today.

"After this wedding, we'll grant you whatever you want." She wanted to calm Nangong Wu down first and prevent things from escalating too much.

However, Nangong Wu remained unmoved, took out a lighter, and pretended to burn the small roll of paper in her hand.

"Hey, Mr. Zhou, this is my marriage certificate with Zhou Shaorong. If I burn it, you know what the consequences will be!"

"Don't burn it!" Madam Zhou hurriedly stopped her. "Nangong Wu, what exactly do you want? Have you thought about the consequences of destroying the marriage certificate?"

The guards were surprised to see the exquisite lighter in her hand and stopped.

"What exactly do I want?" Seeing their reactions confirmed Nangong Wu's suspicions. "So you guys are afraid too?"

"Hey, Mr. Zhou, give me back my dowry, or I'll burn this marriage certificate!"

"Don't even think about it! You, an orphan, dare to threaten the Duke of this country?" Zhou Zheng said angrily.

Nangong Wu's parents are dead, and the Zhenyuan Prince's Mansion has fallen into the hands of the former Zhenyuan Prince's illegitimate son.

She is now an orphan with no support, trapped in this mansion by them, who think she can't cause any trouble.

"Mother, you don't need to stop her. Let her burn the marriage certificate if she wants to. Let's see how she can stay in Kyoto after leaving our Zhou family!" Zhou Shaorong's face turned ferocious with anger.

Liu Yue'er's originally charming face was now slashed with a large gash, from the upper corner of her left lip almost to the back of her ear. She was also missing an ear, and blood was flowing non-stop. He felt both heartache and resentment at the sight.

"Really?" Nangong Wu looked at Zhou Shaorong's fearless demeanor and assumed he was unaware of the secret behind the marriage certificate.

Moreover, not only Zhou Shaorong was unaware of it, but even the original owner of the body was unaware. However, she came from a family of metaphysicians in her previous life and immediately noticed something amiss with the marriage certificate.

"Kill them!" Seeing that the guards dared not make a move, Zhou Shaorong snatched a large knife from one of the guards and was about to slash at Nangong Wu.

"You wretch, you dare to hurt Yue'er, I'll make you die!"

"You're asking for death!" Li Shuang raised her sword to block, but Nangong Wu was faster and shot out a small throwing knife.

"what!"

The small throwing knife struck Zhou Shaorong's wrist, and he screamed as his large knife fell to the ground.

She'll take Zhou Shaorong's life sooner or later, but not now. She needs to sort out the marriage certificate issue first.

Seeing that she dared to be ruthless even to Zhou Shaorong, the guards dared not step forward.

Zhou Zheng and his wife had terribly grim faces, but they couldn't kill her.

"You won't agree, huh!" Nangong Wu lit a lighter, and the flame slowly approached the marriage certificate.

"Don't burn it! All of you, step back!" Madam Zhou's heart was in her throat.

"Everyone, step back!" Zhou Zheng felt his authority had been challenged, but seeing that Nangong Wu was about to burn the marriage certificate, he had no choice but to tell everyone to step back.

Seeing that everyone had stopped, Nangong Wu put out the fire.

This marriage certificate will be burned sooner or later, but before that, we need to get the original owner's things back first.

She had just given birth to three children and was too weak to do anything. She would have to wait until she recovered before making that man surnamed Zhou pay the price he deserved.

"Father, Mother! This vile woman is too hateful! Why did you tell them to stop?" Zhou Shaorong's eyes were filled with resentment, wishing he could tear Nangong Wu to pieces.

Madam Zhou said, "Rong'er, you and Yue'er are both injured. Go down and get your wounds bandaged first. Your father and I will take care of things here."

Zhou Shaorong noticed that his parents were acting strangely today, and he felt suspicious, as if there was something they didn't know.

Two guards and two nannies stepped forward and helped Zhou Shaorong and Liu Yue'er down to receive treatment for their injuries.

"You all get out of here!" Zhou Zheng waved his hand, ordering everyone to leave.

"Yes."

The guards and servants all left.

In the end, only Zhou Zheng and his wife, Nangong Wu and Li Shuang remained in the once lively wedding hall.

"Bring me the marriage certificate!" Madam Zhou held out her hand to Nangong Wu. "Have you considered what will happen to you if the marriage certificate is lost?"

"Do you think I'd give it to you?" Nangong Wu sneered. "The Ming family, you've got some serious tricks up your sleeve! Even now, do you think you can still threaten me?"

"Nangong Wu, now that you're in my Zhou family, you'd better be sensible, or else!" Madam Zhou's eyes were filled with a strong threat.

She thought that even if she had Li Shuang in the Zhou family, she wouldn't be able to cause any big trouble.

"It seems we have nothing to talk about." Nangong Wu took out a lighter again, lit a corner of the marriage certificate.

"Nangong Wu, how dare you?" Madam Zhou's expression changed drastically, and she rushed forward to snatch the marriage certificate.

Suddenly, a flash of cold light appeared, and Li Shuang's sword was held horizontally in front of Madam Zhou.

"You've driven me to my death, what else wouldn't I dare to do?" Nangong Wu moved the lighter away from her hand. "Zhou Zheng, Ming Shi, my last words are: return all my dowry to me!"

"Don't even think about it!" Madam Zhou gritted her teeth. "Since you already know the secret in the marriage certificate, burning it won't do you any good."

"Then why are you so nervous?" Nangong Wu saw through their thoughts. "You can't kill me, and you don't want me to have a good life either, so neither of you should expect to have a good life."

Today's matter is merely a small interest payment. I'll give you two days to return everything I have, or else, we'll all perish together.

She wouldn't fight to the death with these people.

Killing someone is just a matter of a few shots, but first the dowry must be retrieved, and then the Zhou family must be made to pay so much that they have nothing left, not even their underpants.

Otherwise, if the Zhou family were all dead, and their estates and shops fell into the hands of others, then all the suffering the original owner endured would have been in vain.

"Okay, you can go back and wait first." Seeing that the stalemate was not resolved, Zhou Zheng pretended to agree first.

"Count today as one day. Before sunset tomorrow, deliver all my dowry to my courtyard, or I will never give you another chance."

Give them two days so they have time to sell their property and repay her dowry.
