The concubine of Prince Jin who loved to hold banquets not only invited the family members of officials from the North City to attend, but also sent invitations to the wives of county magistrates from various counties.

At that time, Shi Qingluo knew that Prince Jin's Mansion had ulterior motives.

Posting to everyone was just a cover, it was definitely aimed at her.

Shi Qingluo was not afraid of the Jinwang Mansion taking any action, but was afraid that the other party would not take any action.

So she decided to go to North City for a meeting.

By the way, you can watch the play of Vice Governor's Mansion. It will be a pity to miss it.

Xiao Hanzheng held Shi Qingluo's hand and said, "I will send someone to protect you secretly. Be careful when you go to Beicheng."

Prince Jin has posted the invitation this time. If his young wife doesn't go, there will definitely be a second and third time.

Why not explore it right from the start?

Shi Qingluo smiled and said, "Don't worry, Xi Rong will go with me."

"King Jin wants to win us over, but he won't do anything to me."

She winked at Xiao Hanzheng and said, "I'm just going to go see the show at my scumbag dad's house. I'll tell you when I come back."

Xiao Hanzheng smiled and said, "Okay, I'll wait for you to come back and tell me."

The young wife likes to watch plays, so let her do it.

Shi Qingluo took his hand and asked with a smile: "If my scumbag dad knew that I was also going to North City, would he be so surprised that he wanted to cry?"

Xiao Hanzheng said with a smile: "Absolutely."

The two talked for a while and then went to be intimate. After all, they would not see each other for about ten days or half a month.

Early the next morning.

Ge Chunru and others were also released from prison.

Xiao Hanzheng deliberately released them today, allowing Ge Chunru and the others to be seen in their miserable state by his scumbag father's subordinates.

Sure enough, when Xiao Yuanshi's followers saw Ge Chunru with disheveled hair, wrinkled clothes, and a haggard face, they did not feel pity but more disgust.

This is too embarrassing for the master.

But no matter what, she is still the mistress.

He could only smile and step forward, "Madam, the deputy governor sent us to take you home."

Ge Chunru was detained for more than ten days, and she couldn't sleep or eat well. She had never suffered such hardship before.

She was not very happy to see Xiao Yuanshi's personal attendant appear.

"Where's Xiao Yuanshi? Why didn't he come?"

"And why did you pick me up so late?"

The close follower was speechless and even blamed his master.

"Madam, the general has just taken over as deputy governor not long ago and cannot leave North City, so he sent me to pick you up."

"As for the time, there is nothing we can do."

"If the county government doesn't release him, the deputy governor can't possibly bring people to rob him, right?"

"You were released because the general exchanged more than 20 experienced craftsmen he had recruited over the years."

The meaning is very clear, it is not so easy for you to get out, but you have to pay a price.

Ge Chunru felt very unhappy, and her resentment towards Xiao Yuanshi intensified.

He didn't come to pick her up in person.

As for exchanging her for the craftsman, isn't that the right thing to do? She is his wife, and if something happens to her, should he just ignore it?

She wanted to say a few more words, but Niu grabbed her arm.

"Sister, please stop talking. We should return to the Governor's Mansion first."

This woman is really sick. What's the point of arguing with the servants here?

After being pulled by her, Ge Chunru didn't want to say anything more.

She would never admit that she had such a brother or sister.

Niu didn't care either. As long as she could go to the Deputy Governor's Office to enjoy the good life, it would be fine.

At this moment, Shi Qingluo and Xi Rong also arrived at the gate of the county government with a group of beautiful maids.

There were several carriages following behind, with people from the Xiao family sitting in them.

When Ge Chunru saw Shi Qingluo, she didn't care and thought she was looking for Xiao Hanzheng.

Although she hated Shi Qingluo to the core, she couldn't get angry now that she was on Xiao Hanzheng's territory.

But he kept in mind the fact that he had been in jail before, and he would definitely avenge himself in the future.

Shi Qingluo walked over with a smile, "Are we going to set off?"

Xiao Hanzheng nodded, "Yes."

He reached out and pulled her sleeve, "Be careful on the road, go early and come back early."

Shi Qingluo nodded and smiled, "Okay, after I leave, I will write to you every day."

It's quite interesting to think that she and her husband have never written to each other alone.

Xiao Hanzheng naturally thought of the same thing, "Okay!"

Then he said to Xiao Yuanshi's followers: "The people of the old Xiao family and my wife will also go to North City with you."

Personal attendant: “…” So he’s waiting here.

He had a feeling that something was wrong, and now it had come true.

He had witnessed with his own eyes the old lady and others' aggressive and unreasonable behavior.

I really didn't expect that I would have to go to North City with you this time.

And there is Shi Qingluo, who is not only eloquent, but also good at stirring up trouble.

It would be disastrous if the people from Old Xiao's family and Shi Qingluo went to North City together.

He asked stubbornly, "Aren't the old lady and the others doing well in the county town? Why are they going to the North City?"

Xiao Hanzheng explained: "The old lady and the old man miss their son, so they want to bring their family to North City to visit your deputy governor."

Then he asked again about filial piety: "Why? From your looks, the deputy governor doesn't welcome his own parents?"

At this time, the old lady's cursing voice came out, "Does the second son not welcome us? I gave birth to him and raised him, and this is how he treats his own parents?"

How could a close follower allow his master to bear the reputation of being unfilial?

I can only say immediately: "The old lady and the eldest master have misunderstood. The deputy governor has always been thinking about the old lady and the old man. It’s not too late to welcome you to go."

It seems that the people in the Xiao family are determined to follow.

He couldn't help but feel a headache for the deputy governor.

The old lady snorted coldly, "He still has some conscience."

The attendant looked at Shi Qingluo again, "Madam, are you going to the Deputy Governor's Mansion with the old lady and the others?"

Shi Qingluo smiled and said, "That's not the case. I received an invitation from Prince Jin's concubine for a flower viewing banquet, so I have to go to the banquet."

"Why, your Vice Governor's Office doesn't welcome me either?"

The attendant wanted to say, "Isn't that obvious?" But he smiled and said, "How could that be? The eldest young lady misunderstood."

Ge Chunru's face turned very dark. "What? You all want to go to North City together?"

The people of the old Xiao family are going to the North City. How will they live in the future? Whenever she thinks of the difficult days in the capital when the old lady and others were in the general's mansion, she wants to go crazy.

Shi Qingluo glanced at her and said, "Let's go about our business. It has nothing to do with you."

The old lady also opened the window of the carriage and looked at Ge Chunru coldly, "I don't need your consent to go to my son's house."

She now wished she could go to the Deputy Governor's Mansion as soon as possible to scold the Second Brother and let him deal with Ge Chunru, otherwise she would not be able to get over the anger she was holding in.
