Ruan Mian concealed the emotions in her eyes and respectfully handed the divorce paper to the Fifth Princess.
"The Ruan Family knows we shouldn't compete with the Fifth Princess, but I just want to take my jewelry, which was all arranged by my grandmother for me. As for the other fields and property deeds... I willingly leave them at the Qi Mansion."
As soon as these words were spoken, a spark lit in Qi Nanfeng's eyes, as if afraid Ruan Mian might change her mind, he swiftly signed his name.
"In light of your willingness to leave the fields and property deeds at Qi Mansion, I agree to divorce you." With that, he hurriedly pressed his fingerprint.
Seeing this, Cui Zhu began to cry softly into her handkerchief.
"Miss, when you married into the Qi Family, your father prepared a dowry of 108 carries for you, with countless property deeds, and it was your dowry that filled the Qi Mansion's deficit. Otherwise, why would Mrs. Qi greet you with smiles?"
Of course, she didn't say these words aloud.
Ruan Mian lowered her eyes, staring directly at Jiang Wan: "Qi Nanfeng and I are divorced, please have the Fifth Princess return my bracelet."
Upon hearing this, the Fifth Princess's face darkened immediately, squinting at Qi Nanfeng.
If it weren't for his persistent pursuit back then, she would have reluctantly accepted this piece of junk; now, they tell her it's the dowry of that bitch Ruan Mian?!
Jiang Wan sneered disdainfully, "Truly from a small family, short-sighted, you go through great lengths for a broken bracelet."
After speaking, she viciously removed the bracelet and threw it at Ruan, then angrily turned away and left.
Qi Nanfeng quickly stepped forward, wrapping her in his arms, "Wan'er, let me explain to you."
Ruan Mian didn't want to watch their 'heartbreaking romance,' and smiled as she put the jade bracelet on her hand.
With the omniscient perspective, Ruan Mian clearly understood the ugly faces of the Qi Mansion, and she would not let a phoenix man like Qi Nanfeng become arrogant and proud!
Thinking of the original host, who worked hard for the Qi Family, seemingly beloved mother-in-law selling her dowry, Qi Nanfeng disappeared for three years, and upon return, wanted to divorce her.
The good fortune in the world was all taken by that mother and son.
Now that she had the space, she intended to take back everything the Qi Family owed her over the years!
Qi Nanfeng was penniless, how could he maneuver in the court? How could he be favored by the Emperor?
Afraid he would struggle even to get a full meal!
Ruan Mian took the divorce paper and hurried back to her chamber with Cui Zhu.
"Quickly, bring out my dowry."
Cui Zhu sniffled softly, "Miss, you know your jewelry and headpieces are either pawned or given to Mrs. Qi and Miss Qi, leaving nothing but worthless items..."
Ruan Mian knew she was angry on the original host's behalf, so she comforted, "Ah, these are trivial matters. Since there is nothing much left, just bring me the list of my dowry."
She had to know what she owned to take it back!
Cui Zhu couldn't understand why she wanted the list when the dowry was gone, but didn't question it and obediently went to fetch it.
Taking advantage of being alone in the room, Ruan Mian recalled the plot of the book, squeezed out a tear, then cut her finger to drip a few drops of blood.
The next moment, the jade bracelet emitted a green light, and when she opened her eyes again, Ruan Mian found herself in vast endless fields, only the fields were bare, nothing planted.
How was it different from the book? Wasn't it said the heroine's bracelet contained thousands of acres of rice fields?
Suddenly, she noticed a residence, and Ruan Mian felt a surge of joy, thinking this must be the heroine's storage space.
Thinking this, Ruan Mian walked to the residence, seeing the rice seeds piled like a mountain, a thought crossed her mind.
The rice seeds in the courtyard orderly flew to the air above the fields, followed by an invisible large hand starting to fertilize and sow.
Jiang Nian was stunned by the scene before her, feeling endlessly grateful that she got the bracelet back, as leaving it with Jiang Wan would have benefited those two scumbags.
Back in the chamber, she put all the slightly valuable items into her space.
Seeing Cui Zhu return, she commanded, "Go to Wutong Garden."
The original host's younger sister-in-law, relying on her status, had seized many of the original host's jewelry and headpieces, and made the original host take care of her, verbally abusing her routinely.
The two arrived at Wutong Garden, opening the door, a wave of heat greeted them, a stark contrast to the piercing cold outside, as far as the eye could see, pearl curtains and jade screens, exquisite silks, to say it was extravagant wouldn't be an exaggeration.
Qi Lin, sleeping over her desk, wore ruby headpieces, her neck and hands adorned with jade, looking more opulent than the Fifth Princess.
Seeing Ruan Mian enter, Lian Qiao lowered her eyes respectfully, "Young Madam, greetings."
Ruan Mian's attention was drawn to the maid's attire, every piece on her, if not mistaken, belonged to the original host!
Thinking of the original host's foolishness, Ruan Mian felt her forehead throb with anger, "Cui Zhu, close the door."
"Then take back all of Miss Qi's jewelry and headpieces for me!"
With that, Ruan Mian personally started removing all of Lian Qiao's attire.
Lian Qiao was startled, hurriedly stepping forward to stop her, "Young Madam, what are you doing? When have I offended you?!"
Ruan Mian paused, her expression cold, "A maid dares to dictate to me, do you no longer wish to live?!"
Lian Qiao's heart skipped a beat, quickly kneeling to plead, "Young... Young Madam, this humble one wouldn't dare."
"Wouldn't dare? I see you're quite audacious!"
With that, Ruan Mian removed the hairpin from Lian Qiao's head.
Lian Qiao winced in pain, panic-stricken, "This was bestowed upon me by my mistress, you can't take it..."
She hadn't finished speaking before being interrupted by Ruan Mian, "Bestowed by your mistress? Which of your mistress's items aren't mine?"
Cui Zhu understood and immediately went to take the jewelry off Qi Lin.
Feeling a prick on her head, Qi Lin awoke abruptly, spewing curses at Ruan Mian, "Bitch, how dare you touch my things, with no regard for rules, unworthy of my brother?!"
Ruan Mian found it amusing.
"Indeed, without money it's impossible to move, a girl with a damaged voice suddenly recovering, speaking more fluently than most."
It seemed the original host was fooled by this family, thinking Qi Lin had suffered a sudden change, and despite the previous verbal abuse and slander, she continued to care for Qi Lin without holding grudges, even using her dowry to please Qi Lin.
Truly ridiculous!
Ruan Mian curled her lips, she always repaid her grudges, so she slapped her.
"Rules? If not for me, do you think you'd be living a life of luxury now? Not only are you ungrateful, but you also speak and act recklessly towards me, now I will take everything back!"
