Transformed into a furry person, I am doing public relations in the Northern Song Dynasty

At the critical moment, Mr. Zhao held her in his arms, protected her with one hand, and threw his folding fan with the other hand, hitting Liu Chenggong's wrist.

In just a moment, Mr. Zhao let her go and said softly, "I'm sorry."

Liu Chenggong's wrist was broken and twisted strangely to the back. Only then did the yamen runners react. They shouted and rushed over to push Liu Chenggong to the ground, and he was hit hard with several sticks.

Liu Chenggong knew that he was finished.

The pain and the despair left him no strength to utter a word. He could only burst into tears and lay on the ground crying.

Lord Zhang reacted quickly and immediately ordered people to search the bookstore, Yu Lian's residence and several places where he frequently conducted transactions. He made sure to prove Liu Chenggong's guilt and make sure he had no chance of turning things around!

Qi rushed over and heard that her daughter was almost injured by Liu Chenggong. She broke into the court and held Liu Yunqing in her arms.

According to her daughter's plan, she should not show up at this time. She should wait until Liu Chenggong got into trouble before talking about the divorce. She should avoid the limelight and avoid gossip that the Qi family can only share happiness but not hardships.

Liu Yunqing didn't want his mother to suffer any harm.

But Qi also couldn't bear to watch her daughter get hurt. Regardless of reputation, she was going to divorce Liu Chenggong and would never let him take advantage of his status as a father to hurt her daughter at will!

"Please allow me and Liu Chenggong to divorce!"

"I have been married to the Liu family for twenty years. I have served my parents-in-law, respected my husband, and given birth to three children for the Liu family. I have no regrets towards the Liu family and my husband!"

"But my beloved is not a good husband or a good father. According to the rules, I should not speak ill of him in public. But based on what you have seen, I cannot allow a man who does not love his children to be the father of my children!"

"I know that my wife has reported her husband and sentenced him to two years in prison. Not to mention two years in prison, even if it means ten or twenty years, I am willing to do it for my lady!"

Every word Qi spoke was heart-wrenching, and everyone present sympathized with and agreed with her.

No one knew who started the fight outside, but the noisy and chaotic voices gradually merged into one, which was to demand that Qi and Liu Chenggong divorce.

Although there is no precedent for this, Lord Zhang and others have carefully discussed it and decided to do so because it is in line with the will of the people and in the interests of justice.

Thirdly, Qi did not write a complaint against Liu Chenggong, so how could he be sentenced to two years in prison? The case could be sentenced just based on her kindness for the sake of her child.

The document was written on the spot, the bailiff pressed Liu Chenggong's fingerprints, and Lord Zhang stamped it.

There were two copies of the divorce agreement, and the prosecutor personally handed Qi's copy to her. Qi took it in a daze and was still unable to react.

When Liu Yunqing gently pushed her, "Mother, please thank the masters!"

Qi finally reacted. She looked at the thing she had been longing for all these years falling into her hands so easily. She immediately burst into tears and kowtowed to her forehead.

"Thank you very much, my lords. From now on, I will just lead a good life with the three young ladies. I have no other requests!"

Lord Zhang smiled and was happy that Qi had escaped from suffering. While Liu Chenggong had not yet taken the blame, he decided to help the orphan and widow again.

"Don't worry, Madam Qi. According to the law, although you and Liu Chenggong are divorced, you still have three young wives who are not married yet. It doesn't mean that Liu Chenggong will not care about you just because you are divorced."

Qi was hesitant. Before this, she had not even dared to think of such a smooth divorce, so how could she dare to hope to make a fortune from Liu Chenggong.

"What does Master Yi mean?"

Lord Zhang stroked his beard and said thoughtfully, "Raising a child is naturally half as successful as Liu. I would like to ask how much it costs for Madam Qi to raise a woman in a year?"

Butler Qi is naturally well aware of this matter.

"My Lord, before the age of six, if the young lady grows up safely and has no serious illness, her annual food and drink expenses will only be fifty taels. When she grows up a little, the family will hire a female teacher to teach her reading, writing and needlework, and she will spend about fifteen taels more than before."

"For a smart woman like our eldest lady, she started earning money for the family when she was only thirteen or fourteen years old. I will just prepare a generous dowry for her, about a hundred taels, and give her an extra fifty taels of private money."

When everyone heard this, they thought that the Liu family was indeed well-off, as they gave their daughter such a large dowry!

The average amount of private money given to a daughter by a family including the purchase of things would be no more than 40 or 50 taels, but Qi asked for 150 taels right away.

Whoever marries the daughter of the Liu family would probably be marrying a golden baby!

Now no one despises Liu Yunqing's reputation as a unlucky star who brings bad luck to his husband, and everyone has his own plans.

Madam Liu is at the right age, she must not let anyone get ahead of her!

With this calculation, even if Liu Chenggong paid half of the money for raising the child, he would still have to pay nearly a thousand taels.

Liu Chenggong will have to pay commercial taxes and fines soon, so he probably can't afford that much.

The purpose of Lord Zhang asking for money on behalf of Qi was not to do so, but to make Liu Chenggong owe the money so that he would never dare to disturb Qi and his young ladies' lives again.

Liu Yunqing never thought of asking Liu Chenggong to get rid of the "burden" and live a good life. She immediately raised the issue of the ownership of the two bookstores.

"Of these two bookstores, one was opened by my mother with money and the manager Liu with effort, and the other was opened as a branch by me with money earned by a commoner."

"Since my mother and Manager Liu have separated, I think it would be better to make these things clear as soon as possible to avoid any trouble in the future."

Liu Yunqing kept referring to himself as Shopkeeper Liu, as if he didn't recognize him as his father.

Since it was about money, Liu Chenggong endured the pain in his wrist and started to blame Liu Yunqing.

"You rebellious girl, I was wondering why you were so eager to frame me, it turns out you were waiting here!"

"I'm telling you, this Liu's Bookstore was created by me, Liu Chenggong. No one of you can snatch it from me!"

Liu Yunqing was well prepared in advance, so he was not afraid of Liu Chenggong's arrogance.

"All of them are yours? Shopkeeper Liu, please stop bragging. May I ask who gave you the money to open the store on Gaotou Street? May I ask whose name is written on the deed for the store next to the Imperial College?"

Seeing that Liu Chenggong opened his mouth and didn't know how to refute her, Liu Yunqing immediately spoke again.

"According to common sense, whoever paid the money is the owner. Manager Liu is at best an assistant who helps my mother with her business. But you opened the bookshop after you got married, so I have never turned a blind eye to Manager Liu's contribution. According to the law, this bookshop should be owned by each of you in half."

"Manager Liu, the bookstore next to the Imperial College, don't have to covet it. May I ask, Manager Liu, do you want the store on Gaotou Street, or do you want your half of the silver?"

Liu Yunqing's words hit the nail on the head, and even Lord Zhang couldn't say a word against it.

Liu Chenggong was about to attack again, and before the bailiff could hold him down, Qi stepped forward and slapped him twice.

"I'm telling you, Liu Chenggong, I'm divorcing you. The children are with me. If you dare to touch them again, I'll fight you to the death!"

After Qi had beaten her to her heart's content, Lord Zhang then struck the gavel, which showed that he was also biased.
