"Ah..." A shrill scream echoed throughout the street. Xu Mingtao covered his mouth tightly with both hands, and blood continued to flow out from between his fingers.

He stared with wide eyes and horror at the person in front of him. He wanted to say something but found that he could no longer make a sound - his tongue had been forcibly pulled out!

The intense pain caused Xu Mingtao to roll on the ground, his body twisted in extreme agony.

Mrs. Xu, who was standing by, felt heartbroken and cried out in pain: "My son! Oh my God! How can we live like this?"

Although Xu Mingtao is not Madam Xu's biological son, he has grown up by her side for many years, and a deep emotional bond has long been established between the two.

Now seeing him suffering such inhumane torture, Old Madam Xu was heartbroken.

The people around saw this scene, took a deep breath, and whispered: "The prince is so cruel..."

"Hush, keep your voice down, don't you want to live?" How could small characters like them discuss the prince's brutal methods?

Everyone suddenly fell silent.

However, Liu Rumei in the crowd remained unusually calm.

She gently took away Xiao Qingran's hand that was covering her eyes and said firmly: "I'm not afraid, you don't have to do this."

Xiao Qingran frowned slightly and asked with concern: "Are you scared by me?" Liu Rumei shook her head and replied with a smile: "It's okay, have you forgotten that I am a doctor? I have even seen corpses, this little thing is nothing to me."

Indeed, as an experienced doctor, Liu Rumei was knowledgeable and had no fear of such scenes.

Xiao Qingran stared at Liu Rumei, his eyes full of tenderness, and said softly: "My Mei'er is the most beautiful woman in the world. I will never allow anyone to slander you. If anyone dares to offend you, I will make him pay the price." After that, his eyes swept coldly over everyone present, as if warning them not to have any improper thoughts.

Xiao Yixin thought: Prince, you dote on Miss Liu so much, aren’t you afraid that Miss Liu will climb over your head and act tyrannically in the future?

Xiao Er thought: When a seductive concubine appears, even the prince cannot resist her.

They only dare to complain in their hearts. If asked to speak out loud, they dare not because their lives are more important.

I would rather offend the prince than offend Miss Liu.

Offending Miss Liu was what happened to Xu Mingtao.

"Divorce! We must divorce! Not only that, he must hand over half of his assets to Ning Ou, only then can this matter be dropped." Liu Rumei looked at Xu Mingtao with a firm gaze, not backing down.

Humph, don't think that you can be exempted from alimony by having your tongue pulled out. That's wishful thinking!

"You are a vicious woman with a heart as vicious as a snake. It's all because of you that my precious son has become what he is now! You are really going too far." Old Madam Xu still hasn't learned her lesson.

When Old Madam Xu heard that the family property had to be divided up, she became extremely anxious and no longer cared about Xiao Qingran's previous warning.

Asking her to share the silver with Ning Ou would be like bleeding and taking her life.

However, in the face of Madam Xu's rebuke, Xiao Qingran simply responded: "Oh? It seems that what I said is so meaningless in your eyes."

His tone was as calm as water, making it difficult to guess his true mood, but Xiao Yi and Xiao Er, who were standing by, knew very well that their master was already angry at the moment.

As expected, Xiao Qing calmly ordered, "Xiao Er, slap her hard twenty times for me."

"Yes, Your Majesty." After receiving the order, Xiao Er immediately stepped forward.

Immediately afterwards, crisp and loud slapping sounds were heard, and the sound of "pa pa pa" continued in the ears.

Madam Xu's cheeks were burning with pain from the beating, and blood was oozing from the corners of her mouth, which soon became swollen.

At this moment, Old Madam Xu finally calmed down and didn't dare to say a word.

"Miao'er, quickly go get the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and ask your wife to quickly write the divorce letter and give it to this unfaithful man to sign. From now on, there will be no connection between the two parties' marriage!" Liu Rumei looked ahead sharply and instructed Miao'er in a firm tone.

"Yes, Miss Liu! Miao'er will do it immediately." Miao'er responded and turned away with light steps.

She was secretly delighted in her heart. Today, not only did she witness her son-in-law, oh no, it should be called her former son-in-law, being punished by having his tongue pulled out, but she also saw Old Madam Xu being beaten. It was really gratifying!

If it wasn't an inappropriate time and place to cheer, Miao'er would really want to clap his hands and celebrate.

Not long after, Miao'er returned.

Ning Ou had already written the divorce papers in a very eloquent manner and signed his name without hesitation.

After taking the divorce agreement, Miao'er walked straight to Xu Mingtao, handed him the paper and pen, and asked him to sign.

However, Xu Mingtao was dissatisfied and was reluctant to sign.

Liu Rumei threatened him, "You don't want to sign, right? Okay, since you can't sign, there's no point in keeping these hands, Xiao Yi..."

"Miss Liu, what do you want me to do?" Xiao Yi felt like a lackey at this moment.

Miss Liu's thighs must be held tightly.

Hearing Liu Rumei's threatening words, Xu Mingtao didn't care about the pain of his tongue being pulled out, and quickly picked up the pen and signed his name.

This big Buddha is a being that cannot be provoked! If anyone dares to offend her, the consequences will be disastrous!

At this moment, the atmosphere was extremely tense. Liu Rumei looked at Old Lady Xu with an indifferent expression and said stiffly, "The divorce book has been signed, but where's the money? Hurry up and take it out!"

Faced with Liu Rumei's questioning, Old Lady Xu had no choice but to turn around and get the silver.

She sighed inwardly, thinking that this woman was too difficult to deal with, but she did not dare to offend this powerful figure in front of her.

Not long after, Old Madam Xu handed the silver she had prepared to Liu Rumei.

After Liu Rumei took the silver, she handed it to Ning Ou who was sitting in the carriage, and said, "Ning Ou, you must keep this divorce letter and this banknote. From today on, you are a free man. With this money, you can buy a small house of your own, and from now on you will be the master of your own house, and you will no longer have to be manipulated by others."

Ning Ou was so moved that tears welled up in his eyes after hearing what Liu Rumei said.

She tightly grasped the banknotes and the divorce papers in her hands, and said with a choked voice: "Ning Ou would like to thank Miss Liu for her kindness, and thank the prince for his help. If you hadn't stepped forward today, I'm afraid my mother and I would have died long ago. I was able to escape today, all thanks to the prince's strong control of the situation, which allowed me to sever ties with the Xu family so smoothly." After that, Ning Ou once again expressed her heartfelt gratitude to Liu Rumei and the mysterious prince.

"It is fate that you and I meet here. Now that things have been satisfactorily resolved, I will not stay any longer and will say goodbye to you, young lady." Liu Rumei said softly, with a sense of indifference and unrestrainedness in her words.

It turned out that they all came here with an important mission - they needed to rush back to the capital to report.

"Thank you Miss Liu and the prince for your help. I am grateful! I bid farewell to Miss Liu here, and wish the prince and Miss Liu a safe journey." After she finished speaking, she bowed slightly, her movements were elegant and generous, showing the demeanor of a lady from a noble family.

"You're welcome. See you later." Miss Liu responded with a smile, with a barely perceptible glimpse of appreciation in her eyes.

Then they all turned and left, their figures gradually moving farther and farther away until they disappeared from sight.

Looking at the direction where Liu Rumei was going away, Ning Ou couldn't help but feel a complicated emotion in his heart.
