Ge Chunru stood up and walked over to hug Xiao Yuanshi.

“General, my sister is pregnant with the second prince’s child and is in urgent need of money, so I had someone send it over first.

“If she can give birth to a son in the future, maybe her child will stand a chance to be the crown prince next time.”

This meant that her sister’s status was different now.

“Let’s help Chunying a little more now. In the future, if she manages to win over the second prince, it will be beneficial to you.”

Xiao Yuanshi pushed Ge Chunru away.

This time, he was really furious.

“Ge Chunru, do you still not know what you have done wrong?”

He shouted with an ashen face.

Ge Chunru was shocked when she was pushed away.

“I know I was wrong. If I want to give Chunying silver next time, I will tell you first.”

This time, she had deliberately concealed it.

Otherwise, Xiao Yuanshi would never have allowed her to give 40,000 taels.

Xiao Yuanshi was so angry that he laughed. “Do you think there will be a next time?

“Ge Chunru, you keep using our family’s money to support your younger siblings. I won’t mention this for now.

“How could you accept 50,000 taels of silver from King Jin’s residence privately? And you didn’t even tell me.”

This was what he was most furious about.

Ge Chunru was a little confused. “Since King Jin’s manor has sent us money as a housewarming gift, why wouldn’t you accept it? ”

When she came to the northern border, she was still worried about how to raise money for her sister.

It just so happened that King Jin’s manor got someone to send money over, so she happily accepted it.

Xiao Yuanshi realized that he had made a big mistake.

He had always thought Ge Chunru was a smart woman.

Now it seemed that she used all her brain cells and intelligence in crooked ways.

If Mdm Kong were to encounter this, she would definitely be shocked and immediately bring the box containing the silver notes to find him.

If she were Shi Qingluo, his daughter-in-law, she would definitely have retreated on the spot.

However, Ge Chunru was so petty that she dared to accept any kind of money.

“Do you mean that we’ll accept all gifts from anyone in the future?” Xiao Yuanshi asked coldly.

Ge Chunru originally wanted to say, “Since the money has arrived, why not accept it?”

He was already a deputy governor, what was the point if he didn’t take the opportunity to make some money?

However, seeing Xiao Yuanshi’s angry face, she hurriedly said, “But we shouldn’t accept all of them.”

She reached out to pull Xiao Yuanshi’s sleeve and said coquettishly, “Don’t be angry. In the future, if anyone gives me a gift or money, I’ll ask you first before accepting it, okay? ”

Xiao Yuanshi couldn’t help but shake off her hand.

“Ge Chunru, I didn’t expect you to become so greedy, stupid, and petty.

“Or maybe you had once disguised yourself too well, and after becoming my first wife, you gradually revealed your true nature.”

Ge Chunru’s eyes widened. “How could you say that about me? ”

Xiao Yuanshi snorted. “My parents forced me to divorce you, but I didn’t agree.

“They threatened to eliminate me from my clan and made me demote you to a concubine.

“They said that you would harm the deputy governor’s office and me.

“I didn’t believe it before, but I do now.”

Could it be that Shi Qingluo really knew how to physiognomy? Ge Chunru really would become rich when she harmed him or others.

Ge Chunru could not believe it. “What did you say? I harmed you and the deputy governor’s residence? How have I harmed you? You’re my husband!”

Xiao Yuanshi realized that Ge Chunru was really brainless.

She still didn’t know what the biggest mistake she had made was.

“The emperor deployed me to be the deputy governor of Northern City. I can’t have any relationship or beneficial partnership with King Jin.

“If you suddenly accept the 50,000 taels of silver from King Jin’s residence, King Jin can say that he bribed me to do something for him.

“What do you think I should do?

“If I help King Jin, the emperor will definitely not let me off.

“But if I don’t help King Jin, but accept his 50000 taels of silver, I’ll be giving him a loophole that he could take advantage of me.”

He blushed. “Tell me, if you’re not harming me, who are you harming? ”

If he had not known Ge Chunru for such a long period of time, he would have suspected that Ge Chunru was sent by the enemy to deliberately mess with him.

Not only was he demoted from the capital to the northern border, but now he was in a dilemma.

He was here to restrain King Jin, not to seek refuge with him.

Xiao Yuanshi suddenly believed that Ge Chunru was really a jinx.

Ge Chunru didn’t expect that there would be such a twist in the story.

At that time, she only thought that even King Jin had to give money to Xiao Yuanshi.

This meant that the position of a deputy governor was very high.

Moreover, she was worried about her finances.

His gift completely filled her heart with joy, so she naturally accepted the money.

“Generally, I didn’t know it would be like this.

“I didn’t do it on purpose. I didn’t know things would be so serious.

“I was wrong. Don’t be angry.”

She hurriedly suggested, “Then let’s quickly return this 50000 taels of silver.”

No wonder Xiao Yuanshi was so angry.

It was the first time she had seen him so angry.

But she really didn’t know it would be so serious.

When they first came to Northern City, he did not tell her this!

Xiao Yuanshi and Ge Chunru had been together for many years.

He could see through her thoughts instantly, and he was even more furious.

He had really indulged her too much in the past, causing her to completely forget who she was.

Xiao Yuanshi looked at her. “Send it back. Where’s the money then?

“This is 50000 taels, not 50 taels.

“Can you take out 50,000 taels now?”

Her words were simple, returning the 50000 taels.

She had already given the money to Ge Chunying, what was she going to use to return it?

Or she still wanted him to top-up the sum for her, but he really didn’t have that much silver now.

“I … I only have less than 10000 taels of silver,” Ge Chunru said guiltily.

Xiao Yuanshi raised his eyebrows. “Then ask Ge Chunying to return the money. I’ll pay for the rest.”

Of course, this was impossible. It was just a final test for Ge Chunru.

Ge Chunru bit her lip. “I’ve already given it away. How can I get it back?

“General, haven’t you always wanted to stand on the second prince’s side? If you treat Chunying well now, in the future, she will help to say good words about you in front of the second prince.

“In the future, if we face any problems at the northern border, we can write to her and ask for the second prince’s help.

“She’s pregnant now, and the women in the second prince’s residence have been bullying her with jealousy and hatred.

“Without money to support her, she’s living a very difficult life.

“I also hope that she can keep the child and help you in the future, general.”

She could only use this to move Xiao Yuanshi.

Xiao Yuanshi suddenly felt a chill in his heart.

He didn’t expect Ge Chunru to still be thinking about her sister even after she had made the matter so serious.

She wouldn’t even ask him if he could take out 40,000 taels to fill this hole.

Or express her concern of whether his career would be affected if they returned the money back.

At this moment, the last bit of affection Xiao Yuanshi had for Ge Chunru was completely wiped out.

She was indeed not a good person.

Be it his parents, his wife, or his children, he owed them a lot, especially his wife and children.

He had let down many people in his life, but he had never let Ge Chunru down before.

Was this how she would repay him?
