My Dear Wife, Please Be Gentle!-Chapter 1218 - 1224: Forcing a Woman

To save most of the family fortune, he had no choice but to sell off some odds and ends.

But once he started, he couldn’t stop.

As he watched more and more of the family property being sold, Wang Yun made no progress with the Tan Family, and he was near desperation.

To make matters worse, after Niu Ziming was poisoned, the Guang House investigation failed to identify the culprit and instead uncovered the selling of fake goods at the Niu Family Shop.

According to the law, selling fake goods would result in the confiscation of all family property.

He had planned to take his wife and child and move away, but Huo Minglan suddenly presented him with divorce papers.

He originally thought she was afraid of being implicated and didn’t want to live in hardship with him, so he could only grit his teeth and accept it.

But the reality was, within just a few days, Huo Minglan had purchased a house and shop.

And most of these were the Niu Family’s assets. freeweɓnovel.cøm

He only realized he’d been schemed against by Huo Minglan after someone mentioned the matter to him.

Or rather, from the moment she married into their family, she had been plotting a conspiracy!

Knowing the truth, he immediately went to confront her, determined to reclaim what was originally his.

"Your sister married into the Niu Family and became a member of the Niu Family, her dowry naturally belongs to the Niu surname now. You married me, and you became part of the Niu Family too, what right do you have to demand a dowry from me?" Niu Fuquan said with righteous indignation.

Otherwise, where does it say in the three obediences and the four virtues that a wife must follow her husband?

Huo Minglan was infuriated: "The most disgusting thing in my life is having married you."

Had her sister not died young, she would have been living a happy and carefree life long ago.

"I just remembered something, child, we haven’t consummated our marriage in these years. I think tonight should make up for that."

A gleam appeared in Niu Fuquan’s eyes, Huo Minglan was still a virgin, how could he let any other man benefit from that?

Also, these past few days he had been frustrated to no end, sorely in need of a place to vent his fire.

Huo Minglan stepped back a few paces: "Someone come quickly, throw him out!"

But Niu Fuquan was quicker, in a few strides he had Huo Minglan cornered with no way out, forcing her to fall into the chair behind her.

He took a deep breath: "I never realized how alluring you were before, leaving you to pine away all these years has been this husband’s mistake."

Huo Minglan fiercely protected her clothes, her eyes filled with a determined resolution to face death.

Better to die clean than be tainted by a man like him.

"They say once a woman has been slept with and pleasured, she can’t leave her man. Don’t worry, I’ll make sure you enjoy it to the heavens," Niu Fuquan’s words grew increasingly explicit.

Qiao Duo’er frowned involuntarily, what she detested most was men forcing women.

Especially when it was motivated by a desire for revenge.

She picked up two pieces of candied fruit from a dish beside her, aiming carefully before flicking them out at high speed.

The candied fruits hit Niu Fuquan right in the back of his knees, draining all his strength in an instant and forcing him to collapse to his knees in front of the chair.

Just then Wen Qing came in, the wooden stick in her hand ceaselessly beating down on Fu Quan.

"Go to hell, Ming Lan is a good girl, she absolutely must not fall into your hands!"

As long as Huo Minglan remained a maiden, even if divorced, she could still find a decent family to marry into.

This time, he would protect her with his life, because his incompetence had already wasted too much of Huo Minglan’s prime years.

Qiao Duo’er watched coldly, speaking out only when she felt it was enough: "I think paying with your life for such a man is too much of a loss. If I were you, I’d rather use the rest of my life to protect the one I love."

Instead of seeking death and causing heartache to the one you love.

Wen Qing paused, yet her anger remained fierce: "Am I just supposed to let him bully Ming Lan?"

He was a man, he couldn’t do it!
