My bad father married a princess, my mother divorced me, and I became the group's favorite

General's Mansion.

Xiao Mu was sitting in the study, holding a book in his hands, but his mind was absent-minded.

Mo Feng hurried into the study, knelt on one knee and saluted, "General, thank you for the news. Madam Liu's divorce letter has been successfully registered with the government."

Xiao Mu nodded slightly, with a hint of surprise in his eyes, "So fast? Didn't Ye Wenbo say three days?"

Mo Feng pondered for a moment and said, "Ye Wenbo went to Ruyi Inn today. It is said that he wrote the divorce letter because he was scared of being beaten."

"Oh?"

Mo Feng was sure that although the general only said one word, there was absolutely no doubt that he was gloating over someone else's misfortune.

"When Ye Wenbo left the inn, his face was so swollen that he couldn't even face people. He must have been beaten badly. No wonder he wrote a letter of divorce. I'm afraid Madam Liu took out all her anger from last night on him."

Xiao Mu put down the book in his hand, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a barely perceptible smile. "This Madam Liu is a person of courage."

Mo Feng also nodded and said, "General, what you said is very true. Madam Liu is really admirable."

Xiao Mu stood up, walked to the window, stood with his hands behind his back, and looked into the distance. "This woman is so brave and resolute in this difficult situation. It's really rare."

Mo Feng stood quietly aside, waiting for further instructions from the general.

Xiao Mu pondered for a moment and said, "Continue to pay attention to the movements of Madam Liu and her daughter, and ensure their safe return to Jiangnan. If needed, be ready to help at any time."

Mo Feng was a little surprised. Does the general mean that he has no intention of having anything to do with Madam Liu?

But he didn't dare to ask this out loud.

Mo Feng cupped his hands and replied, "Yes, General. I will arrange it right away."

Xiao Mu sat back at the desk and tried to pick up the book and read it quietly again, but Liu Yunniang's face still appeared in front of him from time to time, making him unable to calm down for a long time.

He wondered in his heart, I have been through many battles, I have seen countless life and death and hardships, but why was I so disturbed by a woman I had just divorced?

Perhaps it was her experience that touched the softest part of his heart, or perhaps it was Liu Yunniang's courage and perseverance that made him admire her.

He knew very well that his attention to Liu Yunniang was beyond ordinary, but he could not control his thoughts.

Ye Mansion.

With the support of Ye Quan, Ye Wenbo returned to the mansion covered in dust and dirt.

He sat dejectedly in the chair, as if his soul had been taken away. He stared ahead with empty eyes, and his heart was like the sea ravaged by a storm, turbulent and full of regret.

Recalling the scenes at Ruyi Inn, Ye Wenbo's hands began to tremble unconsciously.

He never thought that the once gentle and graceful Liu Yunniang would become so resolute and beat him mercilessly. The crisp slaps still seemed to echo in his ears, and each one seemed to hit his heart.

"Sir, calm down and have a drink of water first." Ye Quan flattered cautiously.

"It was all your idea, you little dog slave. Now, let alone trying to coax Liu, we've already written the divorce papers. There's no hope at all."

When Ye Wenbo heard this, his eyes widened with anger, his face turned red, and veins bulged on his forehead.

He glared at Ye Quan fiercely, as if he wanted to vent all his anger on this servant.

Ye Quan was so frightened that he fell to his knees with a plop, trembling all over, and said in a crying voice,

"Please calm down, my lord. I didn't expect things to turn out like this. At the beginning, I just wanted to make plans for you so that you could gain a foothold in the capital. I never thought that Madam Liu was so stubborn and would do such a thing. My lord, I know I was wrong. I deserve to die!"

Ye Wenbo was so angry that he was shaking all over. He kicked Ye Quan and roared, "You useless thing, what's the point of saying this now? I could have relied on Liu's dowry and Master Xingyun's paintings to find a place in the capital, but now you have ruined it all."

Ye Quan was kicked to the ground, but he dared not complain. He quickly got up and knelt again, begging bitterly: "Sir, I know I was wrong. Please forgive me this time. I will definitely find a way to make up for my mistake and help you get back the dowry."

Ye Wenbo snorted coldly, "Make up? What can you do to make up? Now Liu seems to be crazy and will attack us as soon as she comes up. We have no idea where to start. You, a dog slave, have always given me bad advice and caused me to end up like this."

Ye Quan said tremblingly: "Sir, the lady will definitely return to Jiangnan after the divorce. We can set up an ambush in advance and take back the dowry before they leave Beijing. As long as we do it cleanly and without being discovered, there will be no problem."

Ye Wenbo frowned and fell into deep thought.

He knew that this method was extremely risky, but when he thought of the lost dowry, especially Master Xingyun's paintings, greed took over.

"This matter needs to be carefully considered. Don't act rashly. Once someone finds out, the consequences will be beyond your ability to bear."

Ye Quan nodded quickly and said, "Your Excellency is wise. I will definitely act prudently and make careful plans for you."

However, Ye Wenbo was filled with anxiety. He didn't know whether his decision was correct, nor did he know what would be waiting for him in the future.

But at this moment, he was overwhelmed by desire and just wanted to take those things back.

However, he seemed to have forgotten that those things did not belong to him in the first place.
