Chapter 833: The Disabled Young Master 46

He only had this one daughter. Wouldn't all of his assets eventually become his daughter's dowry?

Since it was her dowry, naturally it would be taken with her into the imperial family.

Wouldn't that effectively mean that the He family's assets would become the imperial family's?

Moreover, given his abilities, the emperor would have to be a fool to do anything to him simply because he had revealed his wealth.

On the contrary, not only would the emperor agree to this marriage, he would also protect them and keep his daughter safe!

After all, sacrificing a son who wasn't particularly bright in exchange for such enormous wealth to fill the imperial treasury—there was no doubt about which choice to make.

Thus, the marriage was settled just like that.

In order to have the two children develop a good relationship from a young age, He Jiantong frequently sent his daughter to his future son-in-law's home.

After discovering that this little son-in-law was very protective and considerate toward his daughter, He Jiantong was even more reassured.

……

However, although their daughter no longer had to worry about her future, Chu Pan'er's son died at this time.

The Old Madam of the Marquis's Residence had passed away more than two months earlier. As soon as she died, Chu Pan'er immediately brought her son back to her side and personally took care of him.

However, her schemes were no match for several carefully cultivated concubines.

Thus, in just two short months, Chu Pan'er's son inexplicably contracted smallpox and died in the middle of the night.

Having lost the protection of a legitimate son and Li Shuai's favor, Chu Pan'er suffered a devastating blow.

But that wasn't even the worst of it.

Because the death of the legitimate son was attributed to Chu Pan'er's own negligence, and Li Shuai's heart had long since been worn of any love for her, he immediately chose to divorce her as soon as the legitimate son died.

Once Chu Pan'er was divorced, the Marquis's Residence would certainly find him another noble young lady from a family of equal standing to become his principal wife.

By then, Li Shuai would finally have a noble wife too!

Unlike Chu Pan'er, who had given herself to him after he used just a few tricks on her back then. Where was the modesty a proper woman was supposed to have?

……

The words “divorce you” from Li Shuai struck Chu Pan'er senseless!

However, the more she cried, screamed, and cursed, the more disgusted Li Shuai became with her and the more eager he was to get rid of her.

Thus, once the divorce letter was written, he immediately ordered people to drive Chu Pan'er out of the Marquis's Residence.

As for Chu Pan'er's dowry, she had already squandered it all over these past two years. What could she possibly have left?

For a time, when she was driven out, she could only take a few changes of clothes and some jewelry with her.

But it wasn't long before all her jewelry and valuables were stolen by thieves on the street. Aside from the bracelet on her wrist, she had nothing of value left.

Just then, she heard that He Jiantong had offered one million taels of silver to secure a marriage for his daughter.

When Chu Pan'er learned this, it was as though she had been struck by lightning. She stood rooted to the spot in a daze.

She had never known that He Jiantong was actually this wealthy.

If she had known… she shouldn't have broken off the engagement back then!

But soon, Chu Pan'er clenched her fists.

No, she hadn't broken off the engagement. It was Tang Wan who had stolen the man who should have been her ideal husband!

The person who should have married He Jiantong in the first place was her, Chu Pan'er!

With this thought, Chu Pan'er, hungry and cold, immediately rushed toward the He residence.

When He Jiantong and Tang Wan came out, she immediately ran over.

“He Jiantong, I'm Chu Pan'er! I'm the one you should have married! Back then, it was all because this damn servant girl schemed against me…”

……

“Shut up! Where did this madwoman come from?” He Jiantong immediately looked at Chu Pan'er with a sinister expression.

She actually dared to insult Wanwan?
