Xiao Yuanshi’s study.

Shi Qingluo and Xiao Baili followed the housekeeper in.

The two of them greeted each other first, "Hello General Xiao/Hello former eunuch!"

Xiao Yuanshi really didn't like hearing the words "former father-in-law", but he didn't say anything.

Because he knew that no matter what he said, his bad daughter-in-law would refute and criticize him.

He asked coldly, "What's wrong with you?"

Xiao Baili took out a few pieces of paper from her sleeve and handed them over, "General Xiao, your niece schemed against me like this, shouldn't you give me an explanation?"

Xiao Yuanshi didn't like his daughter's attitude, so he took the paper and looked at it first.

After reading it, his brows furrowed.

The paper was full of evidence of how Ge Chunru was going to join forces with Zheng Tongfeng to plot against Xiao Baili.

Among them is Zheng Tongfeng’s testimony, but no one knows where they got it.

After reading this, he had a new understanding of Ge Chunru's cruelty.

She actually wanted Zheng Tongfeng to destroy her daughter's innocence directly and let everyone attending the flower-viewing banquet see it.

He originally thought that she was just planning to get Zheng Tongfeng to hug or kiss Bai Li.

He sighed and asked, "What do you want to do?"

The fact that they collected so much evidence before coming here shows that these two people came prepared.

Xiao Baili didn't beat around the bush. "Although this thing didn't work out, it left me with a psychological knot and made me afraid of getting married."

"Your eldest niece has caused me great emotional harm, so you must compensate me."

Xiao Yuanshi: “…” What the hell does it mean that the heart is deeply hurt?

He couldn't help but ask: "I think you are fine!"

Xiao Baili's eyes suddenly turned red. "That's just the surface. I have nightmares every night now. I'm afraid that one day your niece will plot to harm me again."

"In that case, I might as well shave my head and become a nun."

"Then I will tell everyone that it was all your estranged father and your eldest niece who forced them to do it."

Shi Qingluo added, "Then I will bring Bai Li to the palace and ask the emperor to judge the case."

She added meaningfully, "Maybe I'll be able to think of a recipe by then."

Xiao Yuanshi: “…” This is an overt and covert threat.

His daughter has become more and more shameless because of this bad daughter-in-law.

But he didn't dare to disbelieve Shi Qingluo's words. After all, it was after this dead girl came to the palace to offer prescriptions that he was stripped of his position in the Ministry of War.

If she could come up with some recipe that could impress the emperor this time and stop him from going to Northern Frontier, wouldn’t he cry?

So he gritted his teeth and asked, "How are you going to compensate me?"

Shi Qingluo said: "Fifty thousand taels of silver, not a cent less."

Xiao Yuanshi took a deep breath and said, "You guys are asking for too much."

Shi Qingluo looked indifferent, "You don't have to give it to me."

"If you don't give it to us, we will have to hand this evidence over to the governor of Kyoto, and then go to the palace to ask the emperor to make the decision."

"Just now I said it was compensation to Bai Li just to give you some face."

"Now that you have no shame, I'll be frank. This is the money to buy evidence for your eldest niece."

"If this is handed over to the governor of Kyoto, she will definitely go to jail."

"We don't know whether you will feel bad or not."

"But everyone will know that not only was your sweet wife cheating on you, but your sweet wife also caused someone to be thrown into prison."

"Then you can become famous in the capital again. Are you happy?"

Xiao Yuanshi: “…” What a joke.

He said with an unpleasant expression: "I don't have that much money."

"I only have thirty thousand taels of silver in my hand now. I will give you thirty thousand."

Although he had more than 30,000 taels in his hand, it was only about 50,000 or 60,000 taels.

She added: "Actually you don't have that much money, but other people do!"

The young husband said that it would be best to squeeze most of the money out of the scumbag father before he went to the northern border.

Then the scumbag dad will go treasure hunting.

Xiao Yuanshi was somewhat puzzled, "Who has it?"

Ge Chunru?

But he checked and found that Ge Chunru actually only had a few thousand taels of private money, and the rest was subsidized to those two ungrateful people.

Shi Qingluo said meaningfully: "Your sister-in-law has it!"

"She's willing to come and hit you to threaten you, you don't still have feelings for her, do you?"

Xiao Yuanshi: “…” Is this human language?

What does it mean that he still has feelings for her? It's as if he and Ge Chunyi have something going on.

"Those have already been given to her as dowry. How could she possibly take them out?"

He now sees through Ge Chunyi.

She had deliberately pretended to be well-behaved and sensible in the General's Mansion, but once her identity was different, her true colors were immediately revealed.

So it is absolutely impossible to expect Ge Chunyi to get the money.

Shi Qingluo looked at his scumbag father with a stupid look on his face, "Former father-in-law, where is your usual smartness?"

"Could it be that you are using all of this to plot against your ex-wife, who was once devoted to you, and your three biological children?"

Xiao Yuanshi: "..."

He really didn't want to deal with this bad daughter-in-law, "If you have something to say, just say it."

Shi Qingluo pointed at the paper in his hand and said, "Use this to threaten me!"

"She can beat you up now, but if she really gets the upper hand someday, you will be crushed to death."

"Then her sister will not only cheat on you, but she will also be able to ride on your head."

Xiao Yuanshi: “…” It was really harsh to say, but he actually thought it made sense.

Whenever he thought of Ge Chunyi's expression that day, he got angry.

Shi Qingluo continued, "Take these evidences and have someone go find Ge Chunyi. You can tell them directly that we want compensation. Otherwise, send these to the governor of Kyoto."

"She also participated in instigating her sister to do such a thing."

"And ask her if she would like to have a sister in jail."

"If she still wants to climb up the social ladder, she has no chance now that she has a sister who is having an affair and is in jail."

"So for the sake of the future, she will most likely help you collect the remaining 20,000 taels."

"Or you can ask her for more money back. After all, all the money she has is subsidized by your little wife."

Xiao Yuanshi is about to go to Northern Xinjiang, and I have to sow discord between him and his sister-in-law.

We cannot allow the scumbag father to become Ge Chunyi's helper, and vice versa.

Moreover, the scumbag father went to threaten Ge Chunru's sister and got the money back from her.

Would Ge Chunru feel relieved after knowing this? With Ge Chunru's personality of "I can only let the world down, but the world cannot let me down", she would definitely start to hate Xiao Yuanshi as her husband.

It’s more lively when you go to northern Xinjiang.

So the fact that they came here today to ask for compensation was secondary. The main point was to pave the way for future fights between the scumbag dad and Ge Chunru, who loved each other so much.

After hearing her words, Xiao Yuanshi pondered for a moment.

"I'll have someone ask her."

He also discovered that Ge Chunyi was unreliable.

In that case, let's make the other party bleed.

And he has always had a knot in his heart.

If Ge Chunyi hadn't come to threaten and beat him that day, and instigated Ge Chunru, the cuckold scandal would not have happened. He couldn't help but blame that ungrateful sister-in-law.
