After Retiring from Marriage, I became the Favorite of a Powerful Minister

Shi Qingluo, an expert in agriculture, opened her eyes after her death and transmigrated into an ancient peasant girl.

In the beginning, she was sold by her family and forcibly taken away to ...

Chapter 31: Dare to Think

Mo Qingling frowned.

Judging from Doctor Shi's appearance, he doesn't seem to be lying.

He turned to look at Shi Qingluo and asked, "Has your husband made enemies with anyone recently?"

Shi Qingluo replied without hesitation: "We didn't make any enemies, but just half a month ago, my husband's father, a general, favored his concubine over his wife, and in order to make his mistress his wife, he wanted to demote my wife to a concubine."

"My husband's mother disagreed, so they divorced."

"Then my father-in-law wanted my husband to leave his mother and ignore his younger brothers and sisters. My husband disagreed, so my father-in-law asked him to sever the relationship with him and separate the family."

"That mistress framed my mother-in-law before, and made my father-in-law demote his wife to a concubine so that she could become his wife. This forced my mother-in-law to have no choice but to divorce. She is even more disgusted with my husband and his siblings."

"Among the people my husband knows in Nanxi County, the only one who can bribe Doctor Shi with three hundred taels of silver is that concubine."

Although that woman must have done something wrong, it is difficult to trace it back to her.

But it didn't stop Shi Qingluo from disgusting that woman and her scumbag father first.

What happened today and what she said will be recorded by the chief clerk. When he confronts those two people in the future, he can look up these old accounts.

Mo Qingling was surprised. "Which general is your husband's biological father?"

He already had a guess in his mind. There was only one general in the court with the surname Xiao, and it was said that his wife was a dozen years younger than him.

Shi Qingluo replied, "General Xiao Yuanshi."

Mo Qingling thought it was indeed Xiao Yuanshi.

But he also didn't expect that Xiao Yuanshi, who seemed to be generous and upright, was actually a scoundrel who wanted to demote his wife to a concubine for the sake of his mistress.

The key point is that for a woman, he actually separated his own children from their parents. This is so shameless.

As for whether the mastermind behind this was that woman, he felt it was very likely.

After all, he had personally experienced the dark and vicious methods used against the women in the harem.

Of course, these things still need to be investigated and no conclusions can be drawn.

After all, what this little woman said might not necessarily be true.

"I will investigate this matter thoroughly."

Mo Qingling ordered the yamen runners, "Take Doctor Shi and his apprentice to the prison first, and I will sentence them after I have investigated all the charges."

"Yes, sir!" The bailiff dragged the two men away.

Mo Qingling looked at Shi Qingluo again and said, "I will investigate what you said, and try my best to find out who was behind Doctor Shi's assassination of your husband. I will send someone to your house to inform you when there is a result."

Shi Qingluo smiled and bowed again, "Thank you, sir."

One look at the man's expression showed that he knew the scumbag father, and she was even more certain that the magistrate must be an extraordinary person.

Even if we can't find evidence that the woman harmed Xiao Hanzheng, we can definitely find out the disgusting things that the scumbag father did.

Perhaps through this county magistrate, those things can be spread to the capital, allowing everyone to see the true face of the scumbag father.

By the way, it can also put some pressure on the scumbag father and that woman. Before doing anything wrong, they should think more about whether they can distance themselves from the incident that happened to Xiao Hanzheng.

This was an era when imperial power was supreme, and there was a huge gap between the powerful and the common people.

His scumbag father is a great general, and Xiao Hanzheng is just a scholar now.

If he didn't make a fuss, he was afraid that his scumbag father would become ruthless and join forces with that woman to try to kill Xiao Hanzheng again, or find a way to prevent him from growing up.

Now that there is such a tight ring in place, the scumbag dad and that woman can no longer do things as freely as before.

After the court session ended, Shi Qingluo helped Xiao's mother, who was a little weak on her legs, out of the county government office.

This matter also began to spread among those who were joining in the fun.

Not only were there gossips about Shi Langzhong's evil deeds, but also about a great general of the dynasty favoring his concubine and neglecting his wife, demoting his wife to a concubine for the sake of his mistress, and finally divorcing them directly, and even taking the initiative to separate his children from his relatives.

The latter is more exciting and can better satisfy the people's curiosity to watch the powerful and wealthy perform, so it spreads faster.

After walking for a while, Xiao's mother felt that her body was not so weak anymore.

"Qing Luo, you are so amazing."

What the daughter-in-law did today was one thing after another. Not only did it send Doctor Shi to jail, but it also led to the reveal of that scumbag and bitch.

If it were her, she would definitely be very nervous even speaking in front of the county magistrate.

Shi Qingluo supported her and said, "Mom, you can do it, as long as you have the courage to take the first step."

"You scumbag dad and slut treat you and Xiao Hanzheng like that. If you have the chance in the future, you must teach them a lesson."

"It's better for everyone to slap someone in the face first to vent their anger, and then let them lose their reputation."

If it were her, she would beat the scumbag’s head first and then beat the bitch to death.

By the way, it made the two of them feel ashamed in the capital.

Today she did not mention the messy relationship between that woman and her scumbag father. Besides the fact that she had no evidence, she also wanted Xiao Hanzheng to deal with it personally when she went to the capital.

After all, there is a huge gap in status and strength between the enemy and us, so it is better not to push the enemy into a desperate situation.

Mother Xiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "I really want to slap them in the face."

But it doesn’t feel realistic!

Shi Qingluo said firmly: "Don't worry, mother, there will be opportunities. Even if there are no opportunities, Xiao Hanzheng and I will create opportunities for you."

Mother Xiao pursed her lips and took a deep breath, "Okay, if there is a chance, I will try."

She tried hard to change herself so as not to disappoint her daughter-in-law and son.

Shi Qingluo patted her hand gently to encourage her, "That's right, we are here to help you, don't be afraid."

Mother Xiao nodded, "Well, I'm not afraid."

The ones who did the evil thing and felt guilty were probably the couple.

Next, Shi Qingluo accompanied Xiao's mother to the embroidery workshop to sell the purse, and then went to the bookstore to exchange the book that Xiao Hanzheng had copied for money.

The bookstore also sells paper, pens, ink and inkstones. Shi Qingluo bought some paper for Xiao Hanzheng.

She looked at the poor quality paper and thought it was very expensive, costing one hundred wen each.

A good knife would cost several hundred coins, or even more than one or two taels of silver.

It is no wonder that it was difficult for poor families in ancient times to produce noble sons. Just buying paper cost a lot of money, which poor families could not afford.

Shi Qingluo thought for a moment and asked the waiter, "Do you have toilet paper here?"

When she came here, the most painful thing was not poverty, but going to the toilet.

Now after going to the toilet, she doesn't use toilet paper, but toilet chips, which are actually smooth wooden or bamboo strips. She is really crazy and can't stand it.

The waiter was a little confused, "What kind of paper is toilet paper?"

Shi Qingluo coughed dryly, "Toilet paper."

Waiter: “…” This woman is so bold.

"I have never heard of such paper. Paper is so expensive, how can it be used for toilet use?"

This time it was Shi Qingluo's turn: "..."

This was forcing her to make paper, and she really couldn't stand it.

She had never made paper before and didn't know the specific process.

But she has the "Time Travel Guide" made by her cousin, which contains the detailed process of making several kinds of paper.

After returning to the village, she took Xiao Hanzheng to try it.

If it is made, not only will it solve the problem of going to the toilet, but Xiao Hanzheng will no longer have to buy paper in the future.

After coming out of the bookstore, Shi Qingluo took Xiao's mother to stroll around several main streets in the county town, looking for any good business opportunities.

As I was walking on the road, I suddenly heard two people dressed as servants talking to me.

One of them said with a sad face, "The young master's favorite flower is dying, and he asked me to find a gardener to fix it. Where can I find such a person?"
