528: Let's do some calculations

“I know that after you courtesans lose your virginity, your value will greatly decrease, but don’t worry! Lord Feng has plenty of money, and I’ll give it all to you! Just let me have you once!”

“What’s wrong with just once? Just once, and these ten thousand taels of silver will be yours!”

“Ten thousand taels of silver, that should be enough for you to buy your freedom, right? Then you’ll be free!”

Upon hearing this, the courtesan immediately hesitated, and her drunkenness sobered up a bit. Seeing her indecisive look, Feng Chen’s mouth curved into a slight smile.

When he had no money before, he didn’t know what happiness was. Now that he had money again, he understood that this was the happiness a man should have!

“Since that’s the case, then Lord Feng must keep his word! This is my first time, you know!”

The courtesan said with a tender gaze.

Clearly, she had made up her mind.

“In that case, I won’t be polite!”

As Feng Chen finished speaking, he immediately tried to pounce, but unexpectedly, at that very moment, his door was kicked open.

“Feng Chen! What are you not being polite about!”

Lin Qingyue kicked open the door with an aggressive Aura, her face filled with rage.

Such an action even stunned the burly man beside her. Was this the strength a woman, a pregnant woman, should possess?

How did he feel that even he couldn’t defeat Lin Qingyue? The madam told them to protect Lin Qingyue, was that not redundant?

“Damn it, I’m just not…”

Just as Feng Chen was about to curse, he saw Lin Qingyue’s face and instantly froze in place.

“Wife… why are you here?”

Feng Chen felt inexplicably guilty, and his half-unbuttoned clothes were immediately pulled back.

The courtesan, witnessing this scene, quietly slipped away. As she left, she didn’t forget to pocket a few taels of silver from Feng Chen’s person.

“Stop… Did I tell you to leave?”

Lin Qingyue called out to the courtesan who was trying to leave.

“Uh… Madam, I didn’t know! I’m just doing business for money, please don’t hit me!”

The courtesan said, trembling. The Lin Qingyue before her had an astonishing Aura and was accompanied by two bodyguards.

Moreover, she recognized these two bodyguards; they were from their Brothel. This indicated that Lin Qingyue was very likely a big shot!

If such a big shot were to hit her without cause, she probably wouldn’t be able to stop it!

“Madam, the courtesan is just doing business for money; her sin is not so great!”

The burly man at the side also spoke up.

After all, courtesans were very precious resources for their Brothel. If they were damaged or injured, it would be a huge loss!

“Don’t worry, I won’t make things difficult for her. It’s just that the money you just took from Feng Chen, you have to return it to me!”

“Some of that money is mine. You just need to return my portion!”

Lin Qingyue said indifferently.

She wouldn’t forget that she had given Feng Chen a gold bracelet before, but all that money was gambled away by Feng Chen. She just wanted to get her portion back.

“Oh, I see! You should have said so earlier!”

Upon hearing this, the courtesan immediately breathed a sigh of relief. She had thought Lin Qingyue was so angry that she was going to hit her too.

“Is this enough?”

The courtesan took out a few hundred taels of silver and placed them next to Lin Qingyue.

“Enough!”

Seeing this, Lin Qingyue also showed a satisfied smile.

“You can leave! I won’t make things difficult for you!”

Hearing Lin Qingyue say this, the courtesan immediately breathed a sigh of relief. After giving Feng Chen a look that said ‘fend for yourself’, she then left.

This battle was definitely not a loss for the courtesan. Although she didn’t get the silver for her freedom, she still earned a good amount, which made her very happy!

“Uh… wife, why are you here?”

Feng Chen asked guiltily.

However, he immediately thought, why was he so afraid of Lin Qingyue? He had money now, and it seemed to not matter whether he had Lin Qingyue or not.

“Don’t call me wife! I’m not your wife! From today onwards, we are over!”

“This is the divorce letter! Remember, it is I, Lin Qingyue, who is divorcing you!”

Lin Qingyue threw a divorce letter onto Feng Chen’s face, with only a large character for “Divorce” on it.

“Divorce… divorce letter?”

Looking at the divorce letter in front of him, Feng Chen was stunned. He was divorced? Divorced by Lin Qingyue?

Feng Chen clutched the thin piece of paper, his knuckles turning white, as if he were holding a hot branding iron.

He stared at the character “Divorce” that seemed to penetrate the paper, then suddenly looked up at Lin Qingyue, his eyes swirling with shock, anger, and a hint of panic that he himself didn’t even detect.

“Lin Qingyue, are you crazy?!”

He crumpled the divorce letter into a ball and threw it fiercely to the ground.

“You, a mere woman, actually dare to write a divorce letter to divorce me? Do you know how humiliated I’ll be if this gets out?”

“Your face?”

Lin Qingyue scoffed, her eyes as cold as ice.

“Feng Chen, when you were squandering money in the Brothel with other women, why didn’t you think about your face?”

“When you took the money from my sold dowry to gamble, why didn’t you think about your face? When you abandoned me and the child in my belly at home, your face was already trampled by yourself!”

She approached him step by step, her protruding belly particularly noticeable in the candlelight, yet it did not diminish her Aura in the slightest.

“This divorce letter wasn’t written on a whim. It’s your years of coldness, your countless cuts of harm, that severed the last bit of affection I had for you, forcing me to write it!”

Feng Chen was so choked up that he couldn’t speak, his chest heaving violently, like a lit firecracker that couldn’t find its fuse.

He looked at this woman who was like a completely different person. Before, she always kept her head down, spoke softly, and even when wronged, she would only cry silently.

But now, her gaze was sharper than an ice-tempered knife, every word like a whip lashing his face.

Is this still Lin Qingyue? Is this still the Lin Qingyue he knew? How did she become like this!

“I’m telling you, impossible!”

Feng Chen slammed the table, spilling wine everywhere.

“Even if I, Feng Chen, am at my lowest, it’s not for a woman like you to divorce me! This marriage cannot be dissolved!”

It wasn’t that the marriage couldn’t be dissolved, it was just that the one proposing it shouldn’t be Lin Qingyue, but rather him, Feng Chen!

The only person who could write this divorce letter was him, Feng Chen. How could Lin Qingyue divorce him? This was a complete humiliation to him!

“Whether it can be dissolved or not is not up to you, it’s up to me!”

Lin Qingyue sneered.

“I heard you won a lot of money at the gambling house before, so I need to settle accounts with you!”

“All the money you squandered from my dowry over the years, and the money you stole from me, you must return it all to me!”

“I’ve already settled this account with you very clearly! As long as you pay it all back, we’ll be even!”

Lin Qingyue then threw a bill onto Feng Chen’s face.
