The Barrage Said, I Am the Final Villain In the Game

  Chapter 137 I have a proposal

   "Ma'am? Soon not."

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

   madam? Soon isn't it?

  Is this lady referring to herself?

  I am not my wife, what else can I be.

   But, when she focused on the diamond ring on the hand of the man in black robe who spoke out, she suddenly understood something.

   The meaning of the other party seems to be saying.

  She will no longer be the wife of the Cotter family.

  As for the reason, Mrs. Cotter guessed the truth almost instantly.

  She looked in disbelief at Marquis Cotter, who was lying on the ground, and when the latter saw her looking over, he suddenly stopped struggling, his eyes dodged, and he didn't dare to look at him.

"You are right." Lin En held the diamond ring, put it under the light, looked at it carefully, and praised, "What a beautiful diamond ring, what a beautiful love, but unfortunately, your husband doesn't seem to be very happy. Willing to cherish."

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

"you"

  Mrs. Cotter's lips were frighteningly white, and she was trembling all over.

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

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

   It's like his wine collection, no matter what, he won't put them on the gambling table.

  Before today, Mrs. Cotter always believed that their marriage, or her, was also one of the bottom lines.

   Unfortunately, it seems not.

  In the Rhine Kingdom, or the entire Starlight Empire, the formation of marriage is not a combination of equals.

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

  —just property.

In the more than 3,000 years of human history in this world, buying and selling wives and daughters are as numerous as stars in the sky. Most of them are due to lack of food, but of the remaining proportion, the buying and selling behavior of nobles still accounts for more numbers.

  There is nothing but fun.

   Don't talk about the far, just talk about the near.

  In the Kingdom of the Rhine, as far as Lin En knows, the nobles who bought their wives at a very low price have countless hands and feet.

   Now, another example.

  The diamond ring not only represented its own value, but more importantly, it was the marriage contract that they signed together under the statue of the Goddess of Starlight amidst the blessings of countless people.

  But at this moment, it was held by someone else.

"you you."

  Mrs. Cotter suddenly felt that the world in front of her eyes began to twist and turn upside down, which made her unable to stand firm.

  She subconsciously stretched out her hand and leaned against the window sill, and instead of digging into what happened to her body, she stared at Marquis Kurt.

   "How much, how much did he lose?"

  Lin En made a ten with the index fingers of both hands: "One hundred thousand gold coins."

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

  She couldn't stand anymore.

   It's not because the money is too much.

  Although the number is not small, it is simply a drop in the bucket when it comes to their family's background, not worth mentioning.

   What she couldn't understand was, why?

   "For, why?"

  Tears fell down the beautiful face to the luxurious carpet, but at this moment, no one will pay attention to this.

   Mrs. Cotter asked tremblingly.

   "Why? Why did you sell me for one hundred thousand gold coins?"

  Lin En took the right time to remove the thing blocking Marquis Kurt's mouth.

   "No, it's not." Marquis Cotter, whose language system was liberated, still didn't look directly at Mrs. Cotter. He just turned his head and shouted hoarsely, "Lucy, don't believe him! He lied to me! He cheated!"

   "I lied to you." Mrs. Cotter held her chest and endured the pain that was about to split, and asked, "So, you really put me on the gambling table, right?"

"right!!"

  She roared heart-piercingly, the makeup on her face had been washed away by tears, and it fell into the eyes of Marquis Cotter, which looked a bit biting.

  Marquis Kurt only glanced at her, then looked away again: "I don't, he tricked me, he tricked me!"

"Eh? Sir, you can't tell nonsense with your eyes open." Lin En said leisurely, "In the beginning, we only took 100,000 gold coins as chips, but you lost and couldn't afford it. We kindly let you You put things as collateral, you say you have nothing to mortgage, we remind you that alcohol is okay, but you just don't agree."

   "In the end, it was you who brought the ring up."

   "Nonsense!" Marquis Kurt stared angrily, "It's obvious that you pointed to my ring and said it's okay, otherwise I wouldn't."

  "Nothing?" Mrs. Cotter smiled sadly, "won't you take it out? Then tell me, where is it now?"

   "No, that's not the case, Lucy, you listen to my explanation." Marquis Kurt tried his best to defend, "It's just a mortgage, it's just a mortgage, and it can be redeemed later."

   "Redeemed?"

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

  Remove the time when they have no self-awareness, age is equal to the age of their acquaintance.

   That was a relationship that lasted for more than thirty years!

   More than thirty years!

   Now, the word "redeemed" is actually used.

  At that moment, Mrs. Cotter realized how stupid she was.

  Lin En looked at her, crossed his fingers, and asked with a chuckle: "Ma'am. Oh no, ma'am, do you need tissues?"

   "Thank you, no need." Mrs. Cotter wiped her face, and wiped away all the expressions on her face while wiping away her tears, "One million gold coins, return the ring to me."

  Marquis Kurt stared wide-eyed: "No, Lucy, you can't do this! We don't have that much cash!"

   "Just because you don't have one, doesn't mean I don't." Mrs. Cotter said with sarcasm.

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

   "Here is the ownership of a shop on Silver Avenue, as well as several shops and shares in a super mall. Adding up, the value is definitely more than one million gold coins"

   "Lucy, Lucy"

  Mrs. Cotter kicked the man who was creeping towards her, and pushed the contract in front of Lynn.

   "Are these enough?"

"Ma'am, you are too generous." Lin En pushed the contract back with a chuckle, "He only owes us one hundred thousand gold coins, you only need to take out something equivalent, and you can take it back. Here, too too much."

"Also." Lynn pointed to a clause above, "This should belong to Mrs. Lucy Cotter's property. If you want to return to the status of a lady in the future, you should no longer be able to use these things. .”

  The laws of the Rhine Kingdom on marriage are the continuation of the Starlight Empire.

  The laws of the Xinghui Empire are very ancient, and the restrictions on women are also very harsh.

  Although the law allows women to take the initiative to divorce, no matter what the reason is, the woman must not be allowed to take away any property.

  A single gold coin will not work.

  Even if you have already entered the various procedures of the transfer procedure, you will be called back because of the change of your surname.

   "Unless you want to continue to maintain the identity of Mrs. Cotter before the formalities are completed." Lynn spread her hands, "No."

   "This kind of shit-like reputation, who would want to keep it!"

  Marquis Kurt called out with a dry voice: "Lucy."

   "Don't call me by my name!"

  Mrs. Cotter stepped on the opponent's face again and kicked him away.

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

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

  Mrs. Cotter said coldly: "I need time to raise money."

   "Nature will give you plenty of time, but until then"

  Lin En slightly raised his eyes, looking at the woman in front of him from bottom to top.

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

  And for the ladies and wives of noble families, this task is even more important.

Although Mrs. Cotter in front of her is nearly forty years old, she still looks like an intellectual woman in her twenties. She still has a charm. Cheeks blushed by anger, and a charming and pitiful charm will make many men with "responsibility" feel ripples in their hearts.

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

  Mrs. Cotter felt the malicious gaze, hugged herself, and subconsciously took a few steps back.

   "You bastards!" 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 am no longer from the Kurt family!!"

   "Yes, yes, you are right." Lynn tried his best to calm Mrs. Cotter's emotions. After calming 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, you have run a family for so many years, but because of this guy, it's all in vain. What a pity, you say so." He said with a chuckle, "I know, you are a very capable woman , but you should also know how difficult the life of a woman without her husband will be—especially among you 'nobles'."

  “.”

  Mrs. Cotter opened her mouth, but nothing came out.

   Actually, Lynn was right.

  Among the so-called nobles, once there is a divorce incident, no matter what the cause of the incident is, the one who will be condemned will definitely be a woman.

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

  Once Mrs. Cotter divorces the Marquis of Cotter, then no matter what you think about it, you will have to bow down first no matter where you go.

   "So what if you are capable? Haven't you been abandoned?"

  Mrs. Cotter has already imagined what kind of words she will face in the future.

  She can refute, but she can only refute. Fragile words cannot change anything.

  The moment of calmness after the impulsiveness made her feel her deep powerlessness for the future.

   At this time, Lynn spoke again.

   "I have a proposal, I wonder if you would like to listen to it, ma'am."
