Shi Qingluo saw him come in.
He raised his hand and beckoned, "Come over and talk."
After the candy was made, the Xiao family's farmhand went out first.
Although Liang Youxiao was there, Shi Qingluo did not ask him to avoid suspicion.
My young husband's scumbag father is so disgusting, what he did must be seen by the young masters of the noble families in Kyoto.
When Shi Lao San saw that the young man from the capital was also there, he was stunned at first and was still considering whether to say it or not.
Seeing Shi Qingluo waving, he walked in.
After Shi Qingluo asked him to sit down, he also poured him a glass of water, which was rare.
She asked, "What's going on?"
Shi Lao San glanced at Liang Youxiao.
Shi Qingluo said: "There is nothing wrong with it. Just pretend that he doesn't exist."
Liang Youxiao: "..." How could he disappear when he was so old? However, he was bored and stayed there because he saw the two of them were so mysterious. He wanted to hear what was going on.
Shi Lao San: “…” Such a noble young man is standing here, looking at him with interest, can he pretend he doesn’t exist?
This girl has a really big heart.
He gritted his teeth and said, "The Wu family has sent your fourth uncle to visit them."
"Two days ago, you wanted me, your mother, and your grandparents to go to the Xiao family and make trouble, saying that you were unfilial."
"You also want us to go to the county government to sue you."
He looked at Shi Qingluo flatteringly and said, "I rejected it directly, saying that a daughter who is married off is like water spilled. You didn't do anything, so we can't sue you."
"Besides, you are our daughter. It won't do us any good to sue you."
Shi Qingluo didn't believe it. If they didn't want a child, the Shi Lao San couple would have gone to the county government with the Shi family to sue her for being unfilial.
She looked at Shi Lao San with a half-smile, "After you rejected it, they now have a new idea?"
Shi Lao San felt a little uncomfortable when she looked at him, "Yes, today the Wu family asked your fourth uncle to secretly drug your husband at the flower viewing banquet in the county in a few days."
A few days later, a scholar held a flower-viewing banquet at his home and invited all the students and scholars in the county to enjoy the flowers.
These words surprised Shi Qingluo. She originally thought that her scumbag father and that woman in the capital would deal with her first.
She frowned and asked, "They want to find a woman to mess with my husband at the flower viewing party?"
Shi Lao San discovered that his daughter was extremely smart.
He nodded: "Yes, the Wu family wants a daughter born out of wedlock to be with your husband, and then be caught by everyone."
"I heard that the concubine also fell in love with your husband and offered to cooperate."
Shi Qingluo raised his eyebrows, "The Wu family is really willing to spend money and actually choose to come in person!"
She asked again: "And then? It's not just this, right?"
Shi Lao San said sheepishly: "Then let your mother and I lead you to the river and push you in."
"Let everyone think that you were provoked and forced to jump into the river by your husband."
"After your funeral."
Seeing his daughter's unfriendly look, he immediately said, "They said the funeral, not me."
He actually didn't want his daughter to go down to find her master, otherwise what would happen to his son? Shi Qingluo nodded to show his belief, "Continue."
Shi Lao San added, "They said that after a few months, the Wu family will send that concubine's daughter here and force your husband to marry her."
“We will also publicize this matter everywhere in the county.”
"Your husband is a scholar, but when a group of students gathered to appreciate flowers, he actually raped the concubine of the Wu family."
"And he forced Youen's original wife to jump into the river and die. It will be impossible for this reputation to continue taking the imperial examinations."
"After you're gone, the Wu family will probably want to swallow up several of the Xiao family's workshops."
He added, “The last one is my guess.”
Otherwise, why would the Wu family sacrifice a bastard daughter? They must have been eyeing the Xiao family's workshop.
The Wu family may think that this girl is more capable. As long as she dies, Xiao Hanzheng, a scholar, will not understand business at all.
Xiao Hanzheng's expression remained unchanged, but a strong sense of hostility arose in his heart.
He was not angry because his scumbag father and his two companions wanted to ruin his reputation, but because they actually wanted to kill his young wife.
This completely crossed his bottom line.
Good, he remembered.
Liang Youxiao was also stunned. He didn't expect that someone would be so vicious as to plot Xiao Hanzheng's future.
"How can a small Wu family be so bold?"
He looked at Xiao Hanzheng and said, "You are Lord Hou's disciple."
Although the old man has retired, he still has considerable influence and is a protective person.
The Wu family was just a small merchant family, and having a relative who was a concubine of the prefect was nothing in his opinion.
Xiao Hanzheng said: "Of course they don't have the courage to do this, but what if someone behind them instigates them, or pretends to support them? Then they won't be afraid."
The third brother added, "I heard from the fourth brother that there are people from the capital who are behind the young master of the Wu family."
“But we don’t know who it is yet.”
Shi Qingluo curled his lips, "You can tell without guessing, who else could it be?"
"My husband and I separated from each other, and my ex-father who didn't want him to be successful, and that woman who was his concubine."
When Liang Youxiao went to ask the villagers before, they mainly told him about Shi Qingluo.
So he doesn't know the inside story yet.
He asked with a gossipy look on his face: "Who is Xiao Hanzheng's biological father in Beijing?"
Shi Qingluo said truthfully: "General Xiao Yuanshi."
Then he explained to him how Xiao Yuanshi took advantage of Xiao Hanzheng's grandfather's house to learn martial arts, went to the battlefield to make merit and became a general.
Then he brought back a mistress who was only a few years older than Xiao Hanzheng.
The mistress deliberately fell and had a miscarriage, and she falsely blamed it on Xiao's mother.
General Xiao wanted to use this incident to demote his wife to a concubine, but Xiao Hanzheng disagreed.
In the end, General Xiao drove out both his brothers and sisters, severed their relationship and separated the family, and even divorced Xiao's mother.
That woman also succeeded in getting to the top, but she was not at peace.
He had even bribed the doctor in the town to harm Xiao Hanzheng.
Liang Youxiao was stunned when he heard this, but he quickly calmed down.
After all, there are a lot of filthy people in the aristocratic families. Although what happened to Xiao Hanzheng was quite excessive, he has seen even more disgusting things.
Of course, he now also developed a sense of aversion towards Xiao Yuanshi and his wife.
Thinking of one more thing, he looked at Shi Qingluo meaningfully.
"General Xiao's family has caused a lot of jokes in the capital before. Is it you who made the Xiao family go to the capital?"
This woman never hides her temper in front of them.
They had heard about the Xiao family's affairs before, and had talked about it when a group of people were drinking privately. They thought that someone might want to trick Xiao Yuanshi, which was why they instigated his family to make such a fuss.
Now after hearing Shi Qingluo's words, he felt that those people who sold their land and houses to go to Beijing to see their son might have been her doing.
Otherwise, how could the timing be so coincidental? Not long after the turmoil in the capital broke out, Xiao Yuanshi and his wife wanted to kill Shi Qingluo and ruin Xiao Hanzheng's future.
This is clearly revenge.
Shi Qingluo did not deny it and admitted openly, "Yes, it was my doing."
"But obviously they didn't last long enough. Now I've been exposed, so those two want to use their own methods to retaliate."
Since they couldn't persuade her parents to sue her for being unfilial, they just killed her and disguised it as suicide, thus ruining her husband's reputation and future.
It’s exactly what a scumbag father and that woman would do.
As for Liang Youxiao being able to see it, she was not surprised. These were not the real dandy children from noble families. Who could be simple? (End of this chapter)
