Ye Zhizhou had just walked through the courtyard door when the middle-aged man caught up with him. He glared at him multiple times while saying many offensive things. Ye Zhizhou pretended not to hear him as he opened the system information and scolded the plot information constantly.

15 minutes later, they arrived at the courtyard where Old Madam Shen stayed. The middle-aged man stopped at the gate of the courtyard and the person leading him changed to a beautiful little servant girl. Perhaps his way of dressing was too horrifying but the servant girl had been secretly glancing at him.

"That..."

Ye Zhizhou took his eyes off the screen and looked at the little servant girl who wished she hadn't spoken.

The little servant girl avoided his gaze, hesitated for a moment, and whispered, "There are guests in the old Madam's room, you...do you..." As she pointed to his clothes, her voice became softer and softer, "Do you need me to bring you a new robe?"

This little servant girl is kind-hearted. He smiled at her and handed her a small pearl that he took out from his space. He said warmly, "Thank you, but no need. No matter how I dress, the old madam won't care."

With eyes full of sympathy, she pushed back the pearl he offered her and shook her head, "You're also a pitiful person... In fact, the young master is a very good person, unfortunately..." After saying that, she bowed her head and resumed her respectful and cautious appearance like before.

The young master is a very good person? Ye Zhizhou raised his eyebrows and put away the pearl. He carefully remembered the appearance of the servant girl and looked towards the main house that was in front of them.

The main house was very lively. Besides Old Madam Shen, there were also a few richly dressed madams along with some exquisitely dressed young ladies and gers.

Ye Zhizhou glanced at them after he entered through the door and saw them carry on chatting while pretending not to see him. Sneering in his heart, he directly said, "Old Madam, where is the divorce letter?

I'll take it and leave. Don't arrange these situations for me to see. It's no use."

Old Madam Shen's face became stiff. Just now, she was thinking about giving him the cold-shoulder and then intimidating him. Her expression became dark and she looked at him angrily while saying, "What kind of manners did you learn? The hired momo has taught you for almost a year. How is it that your way of speaking is still so rude and uncouth! And look at your hair and clothes, others will think that the Shen family is mistreating our precious daughter-in-law!"

Hired a momo to teach him? Did she mean the people she sent to keep an eye on the original owner? Who made him copy the three obediences and four virtues with the threat of no food otherwise?

"But aren't you mistreating me?" He straightened out his sleeves and coolly said, "Who's the precious daughter-in-law? The one locked up in the garret and fed three meals a day, like a pet? The one whose ladder to climb up and down from the garret is moved away? The one guarded by a bad-tempered servant? As for my hair and clothes, I'm not using your Shen family's things. What are you being so fussy about?"

Old Madam Shen didn't expect him to talk back to her. She hit the table angrily and said, "Impudent! Du Momo, hold him down for me and slap him!"

Another slap?

Ye Zhizhou snorted coldly and pulled out a toy sword from his space under the cover of his sleeve. He set the blade on the neck of the woman beside him and shouted, "Let's see who dares to touch me today!" During the year when the original owner married into the Shen family, Old Madam Shen had summoned him three times. Each time, she tormented the original owner until he became seriously ill. If this happened in modern times, it would definitely be considered physical and mental abuse! Now, the other party still wants to repeat this. Not a chance!

The main house instantly erupted in screams, and the Old Madam Shen was so startled she collapsed into a chair. She screamed, "Guards! Guards! Come in, drag this daring slut away for me, beat him to death with the rod!"

The more courageous momo moved threateningly towards Ye Zhizhou. Upon seeing this, he took out a bag of powder from his space and scattered it in the air. Putting away his toy sword, he smiled, "What I just scattered was poison. If you want to die, continue to surround me. Now... Those that have been infected with the powder, does your body feel a bit cold and stimulated?"

The two madams and three momos who were rather close to him rushed to dust off the powder that had gotten on their bodies, and then turned pale after they felt the coldness of their skin. There was one or two of them with very delicate psychological states, so they fainted with their eyes rolling to the back of their heads.

"You guys should calm down. The more stimulated you get, the faster the poison will spread." He walked over to the chair, sat down and took out the bag of powder, shaking it. He looked towards Old Madam Shen, "Old Madam, I won't make it hard for you. If you give me the divorce letter, I'll give you the antidote. Isn't this a good deal? If you insist on tormenting me to please your guests, that's easy to deal with, everyone can die together. Anyway, I'm just a shu son who married in as a replacement bride. I'm not as precious as you young ladies and masters."

Old Madam Shen was angry but afraid. She was extremely unwilling to be threatened by the youngster who she could usually torment whenever she pleased. She refused his request resolutely, "You want a divorce letter? Not happening! Tingwei can't completely recover in just a day, you will be my Shen Family's daughter-in-law forever!"

He knew it would be like this, Ye Zhizhou sneered in his heart. This old Madam Shen is superstitious and overbearing. It would be very difficult for him to get the divorce letter from her ahead of time.

"The Shen family's daughter-in-law?" He opened the bag of powder and dabbed a bit on his fingertip, "I didn't complete the wedding bows, haven't been added to the family register and I haven't even seen Shen Tingwei's face. What kind of daughter-in-law am I?" In the beginning, because there was no time and the Shen family was afraid of the unpleasant reputation of a Chongxi marriage, the matter of the Zou and Shen family tying the knot was very low-key. After the substitute bride issue, the Shen family was even more unwilling to talk about the marriage and took great efforts to suppress all the outside news. Now, nearly a year later, the people who knew the truth were too afraid of the Shen family's might so they did not dare to open their mouths and just pretended to be amnesiac. The ordinary people were simply confused by the fake news from the Shen family without even having the chance to know the truth.

Old Madam Shen clutched her chest, looking like she was about to faint.

Ye Zhizhou had been running the system's scanning function since he came in. He knew her body was very healthy and wouldn't be aggravated by this small scene so he calmly watched her put on a play. He unhurriedly scattered some more poison into the air and said, "Are you guys feeling a little sleepy now? Sleep. When you're asleep you won't feel anything."

The timid young ladies and gers were already scared to the point of crying while the bold ones threw caution to the wind and started to scold him, some even attempted to hit him. Ye Zhizhou rested his sword in front of him and silently made a warning for them to behave. He would never go back to that cage-like garret. He didn't want to stay in the Shen house anymore, so he could only wrong these children. After this scene, he was ready to go back to the Zou house to play around a bit. The protagonist wants to continue to live a comfortable and carefree life using Zou Ming's identity? Dream on!

The cries and curses in the room became even louder, and the guards outside hurriedly rushed over

Old Madam Shen knew very clearly the time needed for the Shen family guards to rush over. She quickly calmed down and started to threaten him, saying "Zou Lan, I advise you to be more tactful. Kneel and hand over the antidote. Otherwise, if you force me to raise my hand, don't think you can take advantage of your ger status."

"I didn't plan to take advantage of it," Ye Zhizhou smiled sinisterly at her, "At worst, it's just a life. Rather than be tormented to death by you, I might as well drag some others with me into the grave as companions on the journey to the Yellow Springs. Didn't you want to let me live so I can chase away your grandson's bad luck? I wonder what will happen if I die first. Will your grandson be able to live to 100 years? It's said that the fate of those whose Bazi is entangled will affect each other's life span."

"Shut up!" Hearing him talk about her grandson, Old Madam Shen immediately broke through, "Don't compare your lowly life to Tingwei's! You're not worth anything!"

Ye Zhizhou's attitude became colder, "Are all your daughter-in-law's lives cheap? Only your son's and grandson's life is precious. What, is it not enough to torture your daughter-in-law to death? You also want to torture this granddaughter-in-law even though it's just a title?" In the original plot, this Old Madam Shen did a lot of wicked deeds. She was the one who precisely killed Shen Tingwei's mother during one winter. General Shen and Shen Tingwei were pressured by filial piety and could not do anything to the old madam. They simply ran to the border, stayed there for three to five years, and would never return to capital without the emperor's summons.

The matter of her hounding her daughter-in-law to death was a taboo subject for old Madam Shen. Once it's mentioned, she would explode. Coincidentally this was the moment the guard rushed in with his weapon, so she immediately screamed, "Catch this slut for me! Blind both of his eyes, break his legs and send him to Goulan Courtyard! Kill him for me!"

After hearing those words, the guards promptly rushed forward to grab him. Ye Zhizhou indifferently glanced at them as he took out a pill and rubbed it between his fingers. He sent out his spiritual power to surround them and slowly said, "You are sleepy now. Go to sleep." He dispersed the pill's scent into the air and condensed it with his spiritual power, sending it straight into the guards' noses. It took only a single breath for the fierce guards to fall to the ground with their eyes closed and unconscious. Afraid of really frightening those innocent ladies and gers, he also "considerately" sent some of the pill's scent to them and "coaxed" them to sleep.

Old Madam Shen was horrified by the reversal and exclaimed, "Monster! Monster! Y-you, what kind of black magic did you use? Someone come, quickly, drag this monster away! Drag him away!"

Ye Zhizhou brushed off the pill's residue from his hands and smiled at her, "Old Madam, the divorce letter, will you write it or not?"

"Don't come over here!" Old Madam Shen couldn't help shrinking back and biting her teeth. Finally, she compromised and said, "I'll write it!"

Ye Zhizhou was very satisfied with this answer. He came forward to lay down a pen and piece of paper for her, reminding her, "After writing it, remember to stamp it with the Shen family's official seal, otherwise the divorce will be invalid." In this world, only two kinds of divorce letters are valid. One is with the signature and seal of the husband and the other is with the official seal of the husband's family. Any other form of divorce letter without these two kinds of seals is regarded as useless and invalid. In the original plot, old Madam Shen's divorce letter to the original owner is the second kind. In fact, in his heart, he would like to have a divorce contract, but those must be signed by both the husband and wife in a mutual agreement. In this kind of situation, he can only abandon the idea.

After she finished writing the letter, he stared at Old Madam Shen as she stamped it with her official seal. He put the letter away with satisfaction and pulled open a bag full of powder, scattering it into the air, "Here's the antidote. Now I have nothing to do with your Shen family. Goodbye."

Old Madam Shen clenched her fist and didn't turn to look at him. Obviously thinking that not seeing him would make her feel better. The others who had awoken didn't dare to stop him even though they had been "detoxified", and all carefully gave way to him.

Stepping around the guards on the ground, he happily lifted the main door's curtain to walk out and directly walked into the tall man who had been walking in. Due to the height difference, his nose just happened to hit the collarbone of the person walking in. Hard bone hitting soft cartilage, the outcome was immediately obvious.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch..." Tears came out instantly, and his spiritual power also unconsciously came out and went into attack mode. He stepped back and covered his nose, hoarsely exhaling, and the anger in his heart exploded. Why couldn't he finish this act pleasantly? His nose hurt so much, it couldn't be broken right? What's more, he didn't even notice someone coming in. It's not scientific! Wait, didn't notice someone coming in?

His anger subsided and he quickly raised his head to see a shadow pouncing straight at him. Then, the arm around his waist tightened, his eyes were covered and he was pressed into a dark embrace.

"Who are you?" A deep, cold and strong voice sounded next to his ear. Soon after, his ear was pinched and he felt a warm breath on it, "I like your scent... Your hair isn't let down? You're already married?"

... He has heard these familiar lines in several lifetimes! Thoroughly confirming the identity of this person, he was annoyed and amused. Ye Zhizhou raised his leg to knee him and took advantage of him dodging to escape the embrace. He raised his head to see his lover's appearance in this life.

En, very tall, a little dark, looks strong, very handsome, not bad.

He couldn't help smiling, but he put on an aloof expression and said angrily, "Don't you know you should knock first before you enter the door? Also, randomly grabbing an unknown ger and dragging him into your arms. Do you still want face? Shameless! Beast!"

The cold-faced man let himself get scolded. He glanced at Ye Zhizhou's hair, looked at his clothes and murmured, "Who is the man who married you?"

Inside the room, Old Madam Shen noticed the movement and stillness at the door's entrance and raised her eyes to look. After seeing the person opposite of Ye Zhizhou, her eyes lit up and she stumbled to get up to run over. She said in a hurry, "Tingwei, quick! Grab this rebelling servant! He wanted to poison me just now!"

"A rebelling servant?" Shen Tingwei frowned, moved sideways to avoid her touch and let the small servant behind him support her. He looked at Ye Zhizhou and asked in an uncertain tone, "You poisoned my grandmother? Why?"

Ye Zhizhou looked at him and then at Old Madam Shen. Suddenly, it felt like his heart was clogged. He rolled his eyes and said, "Yes, I want to poison her. I also want to poison you right now! Don't you want to know who married me? Okay, I'll tell you. That person's surname is Shen and his name is Tingwei, and, just now, I was divorced. Now, you're my ex-husband. We have nothing to do with each other. Goodbye!" After that, he took the divorce letter out and dangled it at him before turning around to leave with a heart full of "fuck your mother". The identity of his lover was actually Shen Tingwei... He seriously needs to calm down right now.

"You also want to poison Tingwei?!" Old Madam Shen heard those words and blew up. She pulled at Shen Tingwei and said, "Tingwei, don't listen to his nonsense. You didn't marry him at all. He's just a shu bastard who was part of a Chongxi marriage! You go and grab him. I'm going to lock him up and cure him of his arrogance!"

"Chongxi marriage?" Shen Tingwei repeated these two words. The corners of his lips curved up and he unexpectedly smiled, "So the man who married him is me?"
