After waving his hand, Wen Lang bent down to pick up the piece of paper that had fallen on the table.

After picking them up a few times, I realized that Yu Shuyan seemed to still be sitting at her desk, showing no sign of leaving.

He paused, slowly raised his head, and his eyes turned icy cold.

"What are you waiting for?"

Yu Shuyan glanced discreetly at the slightly swaying shadow in the half-open window, then deliberately raised her voice:

"Wen Lang, do you really think I can't do anything to you? Let me tell you, with the relationship between Lady Yuan and Young Master Bai, and the gratitude that Prefect Cui has for her, even if your entire family is imprisoned, getting a child out would be a very simple matter."

"But you, don't you ever think about how your mother and your sister will end up with their heads rolling along with you?"

"Bang~"

Before Wen Lang could speak, the door to the room was violently pushed open.

Wen's mother and Wen Qing rushed in in a panic.

Mother Wen called out urgently:

"No, no, no, Lang-ge'er, we don't want to die, we don't want to die!"

Wen Qing also shouted in fear:

"Yeah, brother, it's just divorcing that bitch, just divorce her. Why are you risking my and Mother's lives for her!"

Mother Wen nodded quickly in agreement:

"Yes, Lang-ge'er. You're about to become a high-ranking official, with a bright future ahead of you. This wretched woman is never good enough for you. We've already agreed that we'd find a woman from a prestigious family with better prospects who could help you. Now that she's asking for a divorce, you should just get a divorce from her! Lang-ge'er, you can't gamble with your mother's and your sister's lives!"

Wen Lang frowned:

"Mother, don't worry about this, I'll handle it!"

Wen's mother became anxious:

"Deal with it? What's there to deal with! Lang-ge'er, I just heard what you did. Although I don't know what you did, it's a matter of beheading! Your mother hasn't lived enough yet!"

Wen Qing echoed:

"Yes, brother, the good days are coming soon. I'm going to be the mistress of the official family. I can't die, brother. Brother, let's get a divorce, let's get a divorce quickly, brother."

After thinking for a moment, he continued:

"As for the little dumpling, you didn't like him anyway, so just give him to her. What's there to be reluctant about? Without him, it will be easier for you to marry a noblewoman in the future. After all, having a legitimate son is always a hassle!"

Wen Lang was getting a headache from their constant bickering, and his face turned extremely pale.

Yu Shuyan looked at him and sneered inwardly.

This is exactly the effect she wants.

He pulled out a pre-prepared divorce agreement from his sleeve, and with a faint smile, laid it on the desk.

Then, meeting Wen Lang's cold gaze, he smiled faintly:

"Wen Lang, you're the most calculating person. I think you should know that signing this divorce agreement right now is the best choice for you!"

Wen Lang stared intently at her, his eyes so venomous they seemed to drip with water, but he remained silent for a long time.

Yu Shuyan wasn't in a hurry. She just stood there quietly, looking at him without the slightest fear.

Wen Lang suddenly spoke coldly:

"Yu Shuyan, how come I never realized you had such skills!"

Yu Shuyan sneered:

Yes, what you consider your past was a past life to which I paid with blood and tears.

Wen Qing nudged her mother, who then realized what was happening and urged her urgently:

"Lang-ge'er, why can't you just divorce this shameless merchant woman? Hurry up and sign the divorce papers and kick her out!"

Wen Lang frowned, still staring intently at Yu Shuyan.

He always wondered why a woman who had always been devoted to him and obeyed his every word would suddenly take the initiative to divorce him.

The stranger it seemed, the more he felt he couldn't sign the divorce papers.

Moreover, Yu Shuyan brought quite a dowry with her. He absolutely refused to sign the divorce papers and have to return the dowry to her.

Moreover, according to his plan, he intended to frame Yu Shuyan so that she would be caught in bed with another man.

All the mistakes were Yu Shuyan's fault, not the current situation where a divorce would lead people to have all sorts of wild speculations!

Under his probing gaze, Yu Shuyan maintained a calm expression, but her heart tightened slightly.

It seems that Wen Lang is indeed sensitive and suspicious.

However, she was prepared to give him a push.

"Where are you? Get out here!"

Suddenly, a roar came from the courtyard.

Yu Shuyan's eyes trembled slightly:

coming!

Startled, Wen's mother flung open the door and stormed out, muttering curses under her breath.

"What are you doing? How dare you cause trouble at the Wen family's residence! You'll see!"

However, upon seeing the menacing-looking servants wielding sticks in the courtyard, he was terrified.

He was stunned on the spot, his legs almost went weak.

Holding onto the door, he called out urgently:

"Lang~ Lang-ge'er, come out and see what's wrong!"

Wen Lang frowned, but he was quick to notice that Yu Shuyan, who had been calm all along, suddenly showed a hint of fear and panic in her eyes.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, then stood up and walked out.

When he saw clearly that the people standing in front of him were Zhou Guoye and Wang Zinian, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he smiled and said:

"Brother Zhou, Brother Wang, what's going on here?"

When Zhou Guoye saw Wen Lang, her expression was polite, but she said helplessly:

"Brother Wen, I'm sorry, we've come here to find Yu Shuyan."

"Alright, why be so polite? As her husband, he might also be partly to blame for what Yu Shuyan did. Quickly, hand Yu Shuyan over!"

Wang Zinian, however, had no patience and shouted directly.

Wen Lang sensed something was wrong, frowned, and said politely:

"Gentlemen, please explain what exactly happened."

Wang Zinian sneered:

"What happened? Heh, Wen Lang, I advise you, if you still want to survive in officialdom, don't even think about protecting Yu Shu."

"That bitch! What she did is enough to kill your whole family!"

Wen Lang's eyes suddenly narrowed, but he remained silent for a moment.

Wen's mother became anxious:

"Kill...kill the whole family?"

"That damned bastard! What sins did our Wen family commit to marry such a pathetic coward!"

"Come out, get out here right now! What bad things have you done? You're going to get us killed!"

Wen Qing, who was inside the room, suddenly perked up, glared fiercely at Yu Shuyan, rushed forward, grabbed her arm, and pulled her forcefully out:

"Serves you right for being so smug. Hmph, you've offended someone, haven't you? Don't expect us to protect you, get out of here right now!"

Yu Shuyan's eyes flickered slightly, her face showing fear as she struggled to refuse to leave.

"What are you doing? Let me go! I don't want to go out! No!"
