On the Night She Divorced Him, the Young Marshal Stormed the Pei Family's Gates with Two Guns!

[Republican-era household intrigue + war goddess returns + cut off their funding and serve them a face-slapping + strong female lead]

After three years of marriage into a wealthy merchant family in Jiangzhou, Shen Qingwu had hidden the calluses on her hands. Few people still remembered the fearsome reputation of Hongyu, the two-gun fighter from beyond the frontier.

During those three years, Shen Qingwu had secretly used the Northern Frontier Consortium's token to turn the once-impoverished Pei family into Jiangzhou's richest household.

Then the illegitimate daughter of a concubine tore up the last letter left by Shen Qingwu's late mother and forced Shen Qingwu to surrender her ten-thousand-acre docklands and leave with nothing.

Standing on the steps, Pei Yan'an looked down at her. "Once you leave the Pei family, you won't even have leftovers to eat."

Shen Qingwu laughed, then drew out the Black Iron Token and shut down every channel of funding. That night, bundles of IOUs were hurled through the doors of the Pei estate.

On the night of the birthday banquet, the entire city lost power. Thirty-six iron cavalrymen burst through the gates.

Dressed in black riding gear, Shen Qingwu rode into the hall with two guns at her waist.

The divorce letter was nailed to a pillar in the corridor. Pei Yan'an knelt in the mud and looked up, his hands and feet ice-cold.

It turned out that the vast fortune he'd used to throw his weight around had all come from Shen Qingwu, from beginning to end.
