After Breaking Off My Marriage, I Became A Powerful Minister's Treasure

Chapter 224: He was really befuddled

The next day, Xiao Hanzheng also received the news.

He handed the letter he received to Shi Qingluo.

Shi Qingluo smacked her lips after she finished reading it. “Tsk, didn’t your scumbag father say that Ge Chunru is the only one he loved?

“But he still had other women.”

His father was really a scumbag.

If he could really give all his attention to Ge Chunru, she would still think a little more highly of him.

Xiao Hanzheng couldn’t help but laugh. “If it weren’t for the old Xiao family causing such a ruckus, Ge Chunru was still able to bear a child, and Tao Liu didn’t appear, he might be able to hold on.

“But this also means that their relationship isn’t as strong as it sounds.”

At least in his previous life, his scumbag father managed to preserve their relationship.

After he was conferred the title of a marquis, many people gave him women, but all were rejected.

Of course, his scumbag father loved himself the most.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have touched Tao Liu just because of some of his daughter-in-law’s plot.

The intelligence report even said that he had ordered drinks twice last night.

......

It was clear that his scumbag father also had feelings for Tao Liu.

He was just using his title that he was forced to take in concubines. What a hypocrite.

Shi Qingluo nodded. “A scumbag man and a mistress. How strong can their relationship be?”

She curled her lips again. “But Ge Chunru is too much. She’s already vomiting blood.”

Wasn’t she very proud when she had harmed her mother-in-law in the past?

A woman who could seduce men had to be prepared that her man would be seduced by others one day.

Xiao Hanzheng said, “She was too arrogant in the past when my scumbag father pampered her.”

Ge Chunru always felt that Xiao Hanzheng’s scumbag father couldn’t do without her and that she was young, beautiful, and capable.

However, it was obvious that Tao Liu was younger and more capable than she was.

She was defeated.

“However, the blow she received made her weaker. After she recovers, she will still be able to fight with Tao Liu.”

Shi Qingluo chuckled and said, “There will be something to see in the general’s residence.”

At that time, Ge Chunru would have no time to take care of herself and would no longer have the energy to keep an eye on them.

It wasn’t that she was afraid that Ge Chunru would keep an eye on her, just that it would be annoying.

Shi Qingluo was a little puzzled. “Oh right, the intelligence says that your scumbag father wants Ge Chunru’s younger brother to go to the northern border as well.

“Isn’t he afraid that the old Xiao family will bully his precious little wife’s younger brother?”

Xiao Hanzheng thought for a moment and interpreted based on his understanding of your scumbag father. “The previous incident in which we were assassinated was most likely your scumbag father pushing the matter to Ge Chunyi.

“Therefore, by sending him to the northern border, firstly, he will be able to explain to the emperor, and secondly, if Ge Chunyi has any problems in the future, he can also blame it on the people of the old Xiao family.”

Shi Qingluo was stunned. “Your scumbag father is really capable!”

This scheming was indeed formidable.

Xiao Hanzheng reminded her, “Be prepared. In the next few days, my scumbag father will most likely come looking for us.”

Shi Qingluo raised her eyebrows. “Why will he be looking for us?”

Xiao Hanzheng had already studied his scumbag father thoroughly in his previous life. “He will be doing this for others to see and also to ease our relationship.”

Shi Qingluo rolled her eyes. “What was he doing earlier?”

She rolled up her sleeves. “It’s good that he is here. Previously, it was the old Xiao family performing. It’s time for me to help them vent their anger.”

She had long wanted to rebuke her father-in-law, but it was a pity that she did not have the chance to do so.

Xiao Hanzheng had a smile on his face and his eyes were full of indulgence. “Alright, I’ll rely on my wife to help us vent our anger.”

Shi Qingluo pinched his waist. “You can’t learn this from your father. Let me make things clear first. If you dare to find another woman, I’ll kick you out.”

She snorted. “I’ll divorce you directly.”

Although she believed in her young husband, she still had to express her stand first.

Xiao Hanzheng didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

He pulled her hand up and kissed it. “Don’t worry. You’re enough for me in this life.”

He didn’t doubt his little wife’s words at all.

If he dared to be unfaithful, she would definitely divorce him.

In his previous life, he had stood at a high position and seen all kinds of women.

His heart had never been moved before.

Now that he had met her in this life, it was even more impossible for him to be unfaithful.

Only then did Shi Qingluo say with a smile, “Then I believe you.”

Xiao Hanzheng kissed her again. “Of course!”

After lunch, Xiao Hanzheng accompanied Shi Qingluo to shop.

She had said before that be it when her mood was good or bad, she liked to buy things.

Today, it was obvious that she was in a good mood.

In the past, she had no material desires in the county town.

Now, he naturally wanted her to buy things to make her happy.

Shi Qingluo went to another embroidery shop and bought a bunch of embroidery items for her mother-in-law.

She also went to buy a lot of brightly colored fabrics to make clothes for Xiao Baili, and also some for Xiao Erlang.

After Shi Qingluo finished browsing the shelves, Xiao Hanzheng went up to pay and took the money.

He was no different from the best modern boyfriend who was also a filial son.

This made Shi Qingluo even more interested in shopping.

The two of them then entered another jewellery store.

Opposite the jewellery store was a teahouse.

Liang Hengshao and Xiao Yuanshi were sitting in a private room drinking tea.

The window was partially opened, and the two of them saw the young couple entering the jewellery shop.

Liang Hengshao saw that Xiao Hanzheng’s hands were filled with things, and he couldn’t help but recall Shi Qingluo’s words that she only liked her young husband.

From the looks of it, Xiao Hanzheng really doted on her.

If he as him, even when he was coaxing a woman, he would not help her carry the things she bought.

Xiao Yuanshi had never seen Shi Qingluo before, but he recognised his eldest son at a glance.

He saw that his tall son had a gentle temperament and an outstanding appearance.

He felt that he was worthy of being his son, but at the same time, there was a sense of pity and complexity.

His son was carrying so many things in his hands, and they were somewhat out of place.

Although he did not like this bad daughter-in-law, Shi Qingluo, from the bottom of his heart, he could not deny that Shi Qingluo’s looks and temperament were not bad.

She did not look like a woman from the village at all.

No wonder she could charm his son.

It was just that he did not expect his son to actually be able to do something like Shi Qingluo buying things.

He was carrying things like the servant boy behind him.

This made Xiao Yuanshi feel uncomfortable.

This was too much. How could a man do such a thing?

He had never done this before, even when he doted on Ge Chunru.

As expected, Shi Qingluo was not a virtuous daughter-in-law.

Liang Shaoheng retracted his gaze and looked at Xiao Yuanshi. “You didn’t meet Xiao Hanzheng?”

He was interested in Shi Qingluo, but it was not that important compared to the career.

Xiao Yuanshi thought for a moment. “I plan to go tomorrow.”

Previously, he had actually held some hope that his son, Xiao Hanzheng, would take the initiative to visit the general’s residence.

But clearly, his son did not have the intention to.

For various reasons, he had to meet the two of them before they left the capital to have a proper discussion.

He heard that the two of them would return to Nanxi county in a few days, so he planned to go tomorrow.

The second prince said meaningfully, “If General Xiao can mend his relationship with Xiao Hanzheng, it would naturally be the best.”

He had not given up on the plan to win over Shi Qingluo.

Especially after the matter of the ironmaking formula, he wanted to pull some strings with Shi Qingluo even more.

Although he did not like Xiao Hanzheng very much, it would be even better if he could win him over together with the husband and wife.

After all, from what had happened previously, Xiao Hanzheng’s influence could not be underestimated.

He had previously underestimated him, but he would not do so now.

Who knew if Xiao Yuanshi was capable of doing this or not.

He picked up the teacup and said, “I wish you and your son can reconcile.”

Xiao Yuanshi could guess the second prince’s intention to rope in his son and his wife.

He smiled bitterly and lifted up the teacup as well. “I hope so.”

At that time, he was really befuddled.
