"Ma'am? Soon it won't. ”

Mrs. Cotter, who heard this, didn't understand what was going on at first.

Madam? Soon not so?

Is this lady referring to herself?

If you are not a lady, what else can you be.

It's just that when she focused her attention on the diamond ring on the hand of the black-robed man who spoke up, she suddenly understood something.

The other party seems to be saying.

Immediately, she would no longer be the wife of the Kurt family.

As to why, Mrs. Cotter guessed the truth almost instantly.

She looked incredulously at the Marquis de Cotte, who had fallen to the ground, and when the latter saw her looking, he paused even in his struggle, and his eyes dodged, not daring to make eye contact with him.

"You're right." Lynn pinched the diamond ring, put it in the light, looked at it carefully, and praised it, "What a beautiful diamond ring, what a beautiful love, but unfortunately, your husband doesn't seem to want to cherish it." ”

"After losing to me, he mortgaged the ring to me because he couldn't pay the ransom."

"You ......."

Mrs. Cotter's lips were white and frightening, and she trembled.

She raised her hand tremblingly and pointed at the man curled up on the ground, trying to say something, but she couldn't say a word.

Although the Marquis of Cotter is addicted to gambling, there is more or less a certain bottom line.

It's like his wine collection, he wouldn't put them on the table anyway.

Until today, Mrs. Cotter had always believed that their marriage, or rather her, was one of the bottom lines.

Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be.

In the Laiyin Kingdom, or the entire Starlight Empire, marriage is not an equal union.

In this era, whether it is aristocratic or non-aristocratic, men will always occupy an absolute dominant position, while women.

— just property.

In the more than 3,000 years of human history in this world, there have been many things about buying and selling wives and daughters like stars in the sky, most of which are because they can't afford to eat, but in the remaining proportion, the buying and selling behavior of nobles also occupies a larger number.

Without him, only fun.

If you don't say what is far away, you can say what is near.

In the Kingdom of Yin, Guang Lynn knew that the nobles who exchanged their wives at extremely low prices could not be counted with their hands and feet.

Now, another case.

The diamond ring represents not only its own value, but more importantly, the marriage contract signed by them under the statue of the goddess of starlight, with the blessings of countless people.

But at this moment, it was held in the hands of others.

"You....... You ......."

Mrs. Cotter suddenly felt the world before her begin to twist and turn, making it impossible for her to stand on her feet.

She subconsciously reached out and leaned against the windowsill, not delving into what was happening to her body, but staring at Marquis Curt deadly.

"How much, he ........ How much money did he lose? ”

Lynn gestured with the index fingers of both hands: "100,000 gold coins." ”

"Ten, one hundred thousand?" Mrs. Cotter collapsed to the ground.

She just couldn't stand it.

It's not because the money is too much.

Although the number is not small, it is simply a drop in the bucket for their family's heritage, and it is not worth mentioning.

What she couldn't understand was, why?

"Why?"

Tears flowed down the contours of her beautiful face to the luxurious carpet, but at this moment, no one would pay attention to this.

Mrs. Cotter asked, trembling.

"Why? Why did you sell me for 100,000 gold coins? ”

Lynn took the opportunity to get rid of the gag in Marquis Kurt's mouth.

"No, it's not ......." The Marquis of Cotter, whose language system had been liberated, still did not look directly at Mrs. Cotter, he only tilted his head and roared hoarsely, "Lucy, don't believe him! He lied to me! He cheats!

”

"Fooled you." Mrs. Cotter clutched her chest, enduring the tearing pain, and asked, "So, you did put me at the table, didn't you?" ”

"That's right!

！ ”

She roared heartbreakingly, and the makeup on her face had already been stained with tears, and it actually looked a bit devouring in the eyes of Marquis Cott.

Marquis Kurt only glanced at her, then looked away again: "I....... No, he tricked me, he tricked me! ”

"Huh? Sir, you can't talk nonsense with your eyes open. Lynn said leisurely, "At the beginning, we only took 100,000 gold coins as chips, but you lost and couldn't afford to pay, we kindly let you take something to mortgage, but you said that you have nothing to mortgage, we reminded you, alcohol is also okay, but you just don't agree." ”

"Finally, but you're the one who brought the ring."

"Nonsense!" Marquis Cott's eyes widened angrily, "Obviously, you pointed to my ring and said that it was okay, otherwise I wouldn't have ......."

"Won't anything?" Mrs. Cotter smiled wryly, "Won't you take it out?" So tell me, where is it now? ”

"No, it's not like that, Lucy, you listen to me." The Marquis of Kurt tried his best to defend it, "It's just a mortgage, a mortgage, and you can redeem it later......."

"Redeemed?"

Mrs. Cotter leaned against the wall and slowly stood up.

Excluding the time when they are not yet self-conscious, age is equal to the number of years they have known each other.

That's a relationship that lasts for more than 30 years!

More than thirty years!

Now, the word "redeemed" is actually used.

At that moment, Mrs. Cotter was deeply aware of how stupid she really was.

Lynn looked at her appearance, crossed her fingers, and asked with a chuckle, "Madame....... Oh no, ma'am, do you need tissues? ”

"Thanks, no." Mrs. Kurt wiped a handful of her face, wiping away her tears and all expressions on her face, "One million gold coins, give me back the ring." ”

Marquis Cott's eyes widened: "No, Lucy, you can't do that!" We don't have that much cash!

”

"Just because you don't have it doesn't mean I don't." Mrs. Cotter's words were sarcastic.

She went upstairs to the incredulous gaze of Marquis Cotter, and soon walked up to Lynn with a stack of contract papers.

"There is the ownership of a store on the Silver Avenue, as well as several stores and a stake in a super mall, which together are definitely worth more than a million gold coins......."

"Lucy, Lucy......."

Mrs. Kurt kicked away the man who was squirming beside her, pushing the contract in front of Lynn.

"These, is that enough?"

"Ma'am, you're too generous." Lynn chuckled and pushed the contract back, "He only owes us 100,000 gold coins, you just need to take out something of the equivalent and you can get it back." Here, too many. ”

"Also." Lynn pointed to one of the terms, "This should be the property of Mrs. Lucy Cotter, and if you want to return to being a lady in the future, you should not be able to use these things anymore." ”

The law of marriage in the Kingdom of Laiyin is a continuation of the Starlight Empire.

And the laws of the Starlight Empire are very ancient, and the restraints on women are also very harsh.

Although the law allows women to divorce on their own initiative, they are not allowed to take any property with them, regardless of the reason.

Not a single gold coin, not even a single coin.

Even if all the procedures that have entered the transfer procedure will be rejected due to the change of surname.

"Unless you want to remain Mrs. Cotter until the formalities are complete." Lynn spread her hands, "Otherwise, ......"

"Who would want to keep this reputation as shitty as shit!

”

Marquis Cotter called in a dry voice, "Lucy......"

"Don't call me by name!

”

Mrs. Cotter stomped on the other man's face again and kicked him away.

This lady, who has always been very gentle in the eyes of others, is particularly irritable today.

"That can't be helped." Lynn spread her hands, "Please forgive us, only cash transactions are accepted. ”

Mrs. Cook said coldly, "I need time to raise money. ”

"Naturally, you'll be given plenty of time, but until then, ......."

Lynn raised her eyes slightly, looking at the woman in front of her from the bottom up.

For a long time, women who have no financial pressure often pay great attention to their own maintenance.

And for the ladies and ladies of aristocratic families, this work is even more important.

Although Mrs. Cotter in front of her is nearly forty years old, she still looks like an intellectual woman about twenty years old, and her charm is still there, although her facial features are not so delicate and her appearance is not outstanding, but with her crying and swollen teary eyes and cheeks flushed with anger, the pitiful charm will make many men with a "sense of responsibility" ripple in their hearts.

Such a mature woman may be able to satisfy the appetite of many people.

Mrs. Kurt felt this malicious gaze, hugged herself, and subconsciously took a few steps back.

"You ....... Bastard!

She scolded angrily, "I said, I will give it to you, I will give you several times the price, don't rush me!" Don't try to threaten me with this thing! ”

"From now on, I'm not from the Kurt family anymore!

！ ”

"Yes, yes, you're right." Lynn tried her best to soothe Mrs. Kurt's emotions, and when he had calmed down, he said leisurely again, "But, ma'am, don't you think it's a pity to give up your identity like this?" ”

"Think about it, what a pity that the family you've run for so many years has been in vain because of this guy, you say yes." He chuckled and said, "I know that you are a very capable woman, but you should also know how difficult life can be for a woman who has left her husband - especially among you 'nobles'. ”

“.......”

Mrs. Cotter opened her mouth, but said nothing.

In fact, what Lynn said was indeed right.

Among the so-called aristocracy, once there is a divorce, no matter what the cause of the incident is, it will definitely be women who are condemned.

They won't share your so-called feelings, they will only talk to you about "tradition".

Once Mrs. Cotter and Marquis Cott divorced, then, there is no need to think about it, no matter where you go in the future, you have to be inferior first.

"What if you are capable? Haven't you been abandoned yet? ”

Mrs. Cotter had imagined what she would be confronted with in the future.

She can refute, but she can only refute, and fragile words are unlikely to change anything.

The moment of calm after the impulse made her feel her deep powerlessness for the future.

At this time, Lynn spoke again.

"I have a proposal, I don't know ma'am, would you like to hear it."
