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.

lady?Soon isn't it?
Is this lady referring to herself?

If she is not a wife, what else can she be.

However, 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.

Immediately, she was no longer the wife of the Cotters.

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

She looked in disbelief at Marquis Kurt, who was lying on the ground, and when the latter saw her looking over, he even stopped struggling suddenly, 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.

Just like his stash of wine, no matter what, he wouldn't put them on the gambling table.

Before today, Mrs. Cotter had 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 3000 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 because they can't afford to eat, but of the remaining proportion, the buying and selling behavior of nobles also accounts for an even greater proportion. most.

Without him, only fun.

Don't say far, just say near.

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

Now, another example.

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

But at this moment, it was held in someone else's hand.

"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.

Not because the money was too much.

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

What she couldn't understand was, why?
"Why, why?"

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

asked Mrs. Cotter, trembling.

"Why? Why did you sell me for [-] gold coins?"

Lynn took the right time to remove the thing that blocked 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 roared 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 burst, and asked, "So, you really put me on the gambling table, right?"

"Is it right!!!"

She roared heart-piercingly, the makeup on her face had already been washed away by tears, and it fell into the eyes of Marquis Kurt, 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 [-] 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, 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."

"Redemption?"

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

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

That was a relationship that lasted more than 30 years!

More than 30 years!

Now, the word "redeemed" is actually used.

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

Lynn 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 the tears, "One million gold coins, return the ring to me."

Marquis Kurt's eyes widened: "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 Kurt, and soon walked in front of Lynn with a stack of contract papers.

"Here is the ownership of a store on Silver Avenue, as well as the shares in several stores and a super mall. Adding up, the value is definitely more than 100 million gold coins."

"Lucy, Lucy"

Mrs. Cotter kicked the man wriggling around 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 have been inherited from the Starlight Empire.

The laws of the Starlight 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 any property.

A 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 name that stinks like shit, who would want to keep it!!"

Marquis Cotter 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 before that"

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

For a long time, women who have no financial pressure often 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, her charm is still there. The cheeks flushed with anger, and the charming and pitiful charm will make many men with a "sense of responsibility" feel rippling.

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.

In fact, 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 divorced the Marquis of Cotter, then, no matter what, no matter where she went, she would have to bow her head first.

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

Mrs. Cotter had already imagined what kind of words she would face in the future.

She can refute, but she can only refute, fragile words can't 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."
