Chapter 13 The Gate of the General's Mansion is Closed

Zhao Tianqian signed the divorce agreement quickly, then handed it to Lin Congyun, saying in a cold but firm tone: "I hope you can abide by your promise and publicly clarify that everything that happened today was caused by your unfounded rumors."

Lin Congyun took the thin divorce letter, glanced at the words on it, and a hint of imperceptible satisfaction flashed in his eyes.

Zhao Tianqian stared at her until Lin Congyun carefully put away the divorce letter, and then he woke up from his dream.

He came to the general's mansion to confiscate the property and give Fang Deyu a letter of divorce. How come he signed the divorce agreement?

His brows were furrowed, his heart full of confusion. Why was he so easily led by them?

He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down. His eyes shot towards Lin Congyun like a knife, and his tone revealed an unquestionable threat: "Remember your promise to me. If you dare to break it in the slightest, I will never let you off easily."

Zhao Tianqian's threat did not make Lin Congyun feel the slightest bit afraid. She showed a barely perceptible fake smile on her face, as if the threat was nothing more than a breeze to her.

She looked up at Zhao Tianqian, with an inexplicable light flashing in her eyes.

"Zhao Tianqian, don't worry. We in the general's mansion have always been trustworthy people." Lin Congyun's voice was calm and firm.

A sneer of contempt flashed across Zhao Tianqian's lips.

He was somewhat wary and skeptical about Lin Congyun's promise, but more of it was disdain and arrogance.

The moonlight outside the house was like silver, sprinkling on the solemn and majestic gate of the general's mansion, but it failed to dispel the haze that shrouded it.

Zhao Tianqian turned around and walked out of the house, looking particularly cold in the night.

In his opinion, the former glory and splendor of the General's Mansion would collapse tonight.

The entire general's mansion was illuminated by the light of torches, with half the sky red.

The officials brought by Zhao Tianqian have already taken actions in the general's mansion. Some have entered the mansion to search, while others have begun to count the property in the mansion.

For a moment, the once solemn and dignified general's mansion became noisy, with various sounds intertwined together, breaking the tranquility of the night.

Zhao Tianqian stood on the steps, his eyes as sharp as an eagle's as he swept over anywhere he could reach.

He knew in his heart that after tonight, this general's mansion that once dominated the world would no longer exist.

Lin Congyun watched the items in the house being moved out one by one, feeling mixed emotions.

Especially when she saw the large wooden box containing the blue jade being steadily carried into the yard by two strong officers, her heart was in turmoil.

This piece of blue jade is not only a rare treasure, but also the future destiny of the general's mansion.

At this moment, the sky suddenly became gloomy and covered with dark clouds, as if foreshadowing the coming of a storm.

Suddenly there was a commotion outside the yard. The three daughters-in-law were being pushed roughly by this group of ferocious officials, their faces full of fear and helplessness.

Their originally exquisite dresses now looked disheveled, and the makeup on their faces had long been washed away beyond recognition by sweat and tears.

The wind at this time seemed to become even colder, blowing on the corners of everyone's clothes and bringing waves of coldness.

The eldest daughter-in-law Zhang Liucui's lips trembled, and her voice was a little tearful: "Mom, what is going on?"

Her eyes were filled with fear as she tightly held the hand of her youngest son Fang Xinyu, who was only ten years old. As the eldest daughter-in-law in the family, she was originally a peasant girl who was spotted by the original owner when he was still a rising star in the general's mansion and was betrothed to the eldest son.

Although her family background cannot be compared with that of the other two daughters-in-law, her diligence and ability are praised by others.

After Zhang Liucui married Fang Deyou, the eldest son of the Fang family, they gave birth to two sons.

The eldest son, Fang Xinfeng, is only sixteen years old and is currently accompanying his grandfather and father on an expedition to the north.

At the same time, the second daughter-in-law Li Hongsui also held the hand of her ten-year-old youngest daughter Fang Xinyue tightly.

Although she tried to soothe him with a soft voice, her inner anxiety and uneasiness were difficult to conceal.

She continued to comfort Fang Xinyue, trying to use her own strength to calm the fear in her heart.

However, the uneasiness in Li Hongsui's eyes surged like a tide, difficult to conceal.

Another child in her family, Fang Xinlei, who was only fourteen years old, also followed the army to the northern border.

The third daughter-in-law Zeng Xiaoyu hugged nine-year-old Fang Xinyue tightly, and tears from her eyes fell like beads from a broken string.

Her voice was trembling and she seemed about to cry at any moment.

At this critical moment, she could only use her arms to give her child the warmest comfort.

Lin Congyun took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

She gently held the hands of her three daughters-in-law, and said in a firm but gentle voice: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'm here. You take the children over there and sit down, I'll deal with these officials."

When the three daughters-in-law heard this, although the fear in their hearts had not completely dissipated, they gradually calmed down under Lin Congyun's comfort.

They took the children to a stone bench nearby and sat down.

Although the children did not understand the adults' affairs, the tense atmosphere around them made them behave and be obedient. They sat quietly in their mother's arms and dared not move.

In this moment full of fear and anxiety, Lin Congyun became the backbone of the family.

Lin Congyun knew very well that although the confiscation of the general's mansion was brought forward, it was an inevitable fate.

Although he felt helpless inside, Lin Congyun still stood straight and faced the officers who were holding weapons and had stern expressions.

Her eyes were firm, as if to say, "Even if the sky falls, I will never back down."

The officials mercilessly searched the general's mansion for everything, leaving no corner untouched.

Lin Congyun stood aside, his eyes as sharp as an eagle, as if he could see through all the hypocrisy and injustice.

When the last room was searched thoroughly, the officers announced coldly: "The general's mansion has been searched. Everyone will be thrown into jail immediately!"

She took a deep breath, knowing that this moment had finally arrived.

She turned and looked at the original owner's family, her eyes full of apology and determination.

"Don't be afraid, we will move forward together." Lin Congyun's voice was low and firm. Although it was as light as the breeze, it was full of inspiring power.

She was the first to step out the door, her steps steady, as if every step was a challenge to fate.

Then she led the way out the door, her steps firm and deliberate.

Fang Deyu followed closely behind, and so did her three daughters-in-law and children. Their eyes revealed confusion and uneasiness, but under Lin Congyun's guidance, they seemed to have found a firm belief and endless courage.

When Lin Congyun and his party walked out of the gate of the once glorious general's mansion, the heavy door slowly closed, as if locking all the past glory and splendor on the other side of the door.
