I kicked out my vicious husband and married his great-uncle

Chapter 237 Keep an eye on him and don’t let him run away!

Upon hearing this, Madam Xie's face changed.

The people under her were becoming more and more unreliable. They had just captured Cheng Yuanlong when people from Anping Marquis's Mansion came looking for them.

It can be seen that the news leaked out when the person was being arrested.

Although the people from Anping Marquis' Mansion arrived a little faster, they could not affect the overall situation.

At least now, Cheng Yuanlong is still in her hands.

Madam Xie immediately ordered: "Keep an eye on him, don't let him get away!"

"Yes, madam."

Hearing this, Cheng Yuanlong smiled complacently: "So what if people are watching me? They can't do anything to me."

Madam Xie gave him a cold look, then turned and walked out.

Before reaching the main hall, I saw the wife of Marquis Anping and her men walking towards me in a menacing manner.

Madam Xie gave a wink to her people, and they immediately lined up to block the way of the wife of Marquis Anping.

The wife of the Marquis of Anping sneered, "Madam Xie, you are so bold that you dare to kidnap my son in the street! Do you know what the crime of kidnapping my son is?"

Madam Xie glanced at her and said, "What are you talking about, Madam Hou? I just wanted to have a few words with my son-in-law, so I had him brought back to the mansion. As for the kidnapping you mentioned, that never happened."

"Where is my son? Hand over my son!"

"No hurry. I just have something to say to Madam Hou." Madam Xie raised her hand and pointed in the direction of the main hall. "Madam Hou, please come in."

At this time, even though Lady Anping Hou was unwilling, Cheng Yuanlong was held in Madam Xie's hands. She did not dare to act rashly for the time being and could only follow Madam Xie's instructions and walk towards the main hall.

After sitting down in the main hall, Lady Anping warned: "You'd better not do anything to my son, otherwise, I will make you pay for it!"

"Madam Hou, you are joking. Why would I lay hands on my son-in-law?"

"I don't think you have the guts to do that! Come on, let me come here, what do you want to say!"

The wife of Marquis Anping still had a haughty tone.

At the beginning, she looked down on Madam Xie.

Now, even more so.

Holding Cheng Yuanlong in her hand, Madam Xie said calmly, "My daughter wants to divorce your son Cheng Yuanlong."

"Divorce? There is only divorce, not divorce."

"In that case. Then, Madam Hou, please go back."

The wife of Anping Hou suddenly changed her expression: "What do you mean?"

"It doesn't matter. I will release the young marquis when the marquis's wife agrees to divorce."

"Ha!" As if she had heard something funny, the wife of the Marquis of Anping sneered, "Madam Xie is so arrogant! I can send someone to report to the Jingzhao Prefecture right now and say that it was you who kidnapped my son! When the time comes, I will make sure you will be in big trouble!"

After all, kidnapping the son of a powerful person is a serious crime!

However, Madam Xie was not afraid at all: "If that's the case, I can't guarantee that the young marquis can return safely."

The wife of the Marquis of Anping said sternly, "How dare you!"

"Why shouldn't I dare to do that? Cheng Yuanlong dared to do that to my daughter, so why shouldn't I dare to do that to him? Why, your son is a son, but my daughter is not a daughter?"

As she spoke, Madam Xie looked stern.

The Anping Marquis's chest trembled a few times, but eventually calmed down. She sat down again and spoke in a softer voice than before: "You can divorce if you want. You can take back the dowry that Xie Chunya brought with you. My Anping Marquis's Mansion will not covet your things!"

"Not only that. Your Anping Marquis Mansion will also have to pay another betrothal gift as compensation for my daughter."

The face of Anping Hou's wife suddenly changed: "You are pushing your luck!"

"Are you pushing for more? If it was my daughter who beat your son, I could also give you a betrothal gift. It depends on whether the Marquis is willing."

"Well, even if it means losing money to avoid disaster, it is really unlucky for my Anping Marquis Mansion to have your family!"

Hearing this, Madam Xie glanced at Madam Anping with pride and said, "There are also requirements for the betrothal gift. The total value of the betrothal gift must not be less than 200,000 taels of silver!"

"Xie, your eating manner is too ugly!"

Madam Xie said calmly, "I still say the same thing. If it was my daughter who beat your son, I would be willing to pay the money. It depends on whether Madam Hou is willing. If you are willing, you don't need my daughter's dowry, and I can give you another 200,000 taels of silver!"

The wife of the Marquis of Anping glared at Madam Xie: "Is it fun to keep repeating the same old things? Now that things have come to this, you and I should think about how to resolve the issue, not arguing here!"

"I would like to settle the matter with you, but I have been waiting for you in the mansion for two days. Have you come? If your son is not in my hands now, would you be willing to step into the door of my Xie Mansion?"

"It's meaningless to say these things now. I just want to ask you, if I allow you to take the dowry and prepare a betrothal gift worth no less than 200,000 taels of silver for you, will you let my son go?"

"That's right." Madam Xie affirmed.

"It takes time to prepare the betrothal gifts. My son has always been pampered and can't stand hardship. Can you let my son come out first?"

"Okay, but Madam Hou has to give me a written receipt. Otherwise, I'm afraid that Madam Hou will deny it if we just talk about it."

In the past, Lady Anping Marquis had never dealt with Lady Xie. She didn't expect that she was so difficult to deal with and not easy to fool at all.

If this document is signed, there will be no room for maneuver.

Moreover, even if she took the document to the government office to file a complaint afterwards, she couldn't bring herself to say such a thing.

After all, it was her son Cheng Yuanlong who was in the wrong first.

It was not until this moment that the wife of Marquis Anping began to re-examine Madam Xie.

It was also the first time that I realized that the woman in front of me was sophisticated and not easy to deal with.

However, now that her son is in the other party's hands, she has no more choices.

Never mind, I've just had to take this loss. The key point is to get my son back as soon as possible.

Otherwise, who knows what accidents will happen.

Thinking of this, Lady Anping Hou happily signed the document and stamped it with her private seal.

Mrs. Xie received the receipt and read it carefully word by word. Only after confirming that it was correct did she put it away.

Afterwards, she looked at the wife of Marquis Anping: "And..."

The wife of the Marquis of Anping said sternly, "Xie, don't push your luck!"

"Don't worry, Madam Hou. I won't let you lose money again. But your son must come to my daughter and kowtow and admit his fault!"

"A man's knees are made of gold, so don't even think about it!"

"Really? If the Marquis's wife insists on doing so, then I can only use my own method to make the young Marquis kowtow and admit his fault!"

In short, Cheng Yuanlong must kowtow and admit his mistake. This is absolutely necessary!

The wife of the Marquis of Anping suppressed her anger for a while and said, "Okay. But no servants can be allowed to watch. Afterwards, no news can be leaked to outsiders!"

"Okay." Madam Xie agreed immediately.

After the deal was settled, Madam Xie immediately asked someone to bring Cheng Yuanlong over.

However, the person who was sent came back very quickly. Not only did he look frightened, but he was also staggering and couldn't even walk properly.

Madam Xie didn't want to lose face in front of the wife of Marquis Anping, so she could not help but scold him harshly: "I asked you to invite the young marquis over, why are you in such a panic?"

"Madam, please go over and take a look..."
