Chapter 161: Being Outmaneuvered



Xi Xinheng took it and glanced at it casually.

"I already know that it was Rui'er who did that to you."

When Xiao Yuanshi saw Xi Xinheng's appearance, he suddenly had a bad feeling.

"Your Highness, do you mean that the Duke's Mansion supports this matter?"

He said coldly: "If that's the case, then I'll have to go to His Majesty to seek justice."

Although he didn't want to fall out with the Duke's Mansion now, the other party's current attitude made him angry.

Xi Xinheng glanced at the waiter who was trembling with his hands tied behind Xiao Yuanshi.

He said meaningfully: "You came to give me a gift today, so I can't let you go back empty-handed, so I'll give you a gift in return."

He clapped his hands, and two maids came out, pulling a young woman with them.

Xiao Yuanshi looked at Xi Xinheng in confusion.

The prince of the Duke's Mansion, could it be that he wants to give a woman to him?

As soon as Xi Xinheng saw Xiao Yuanshi's expression, he guessed that the other party didn't know what his wife had done.

"This is a gift your wife gave to my Rui'er. I'll give it to you now."

"Before, on the street, this woman hugged my son's legs and said that she was pregnant with my son's flesh and blood, which ruined my son's reputation."

"It also makes it difficult for my son to choose a wife when he gets engaged."

He looked at Xiao Yuanshi with a half-smile, "You should have heard about this. My son's innocence was destroyed by your wife. You are his husband, so my son is giving him back the way he has treated you. Isn't that right?"

Xiao Yuanshi: “…” Your son has absolutely no innocence at all.

But his anger burned even more fiercely, but this time it was not directed at Xi Xinheng.

He really didn't expect that there was such a reason behind Xi Rui's plot against him.

He looked at the woman and saw that her face was pale and her eyes were flickering.

Coupled with Xi Xinheng's attitude, he already believed it.

The Duke's Mansion would not deceive him with such a small matter.

He was particularly embarrassed at this moment. He originally wanted to use something to control the Duke's Mansion, but who knew that he would be outmaneuvered.

But Xiao Yuanshi is not an ordinary person.

He nodded without changing his expression, "Thank you, Prince. I accept this gift."

Xi Xinheng picked up the teacup and took a sip, "General Xiao, please!"

The feud has been settled, so there is no need for him to be polite.

Although he often wanted to beat his younger son, if others wanted to plot against his son, it would depend on whether he agreed.

Xiao Yuanshi also knew in his heart that it was destined to be impossible for him and the Duke's Mansion to cooperate or ease the relationship.

It would be good if we don't target each other afterwards.

He now only prayed that the Queen Mother, who had recently fallen ill in the palace, would go there directly.

He did not take the waiter away, but took the woman away.

He didn't ask any questions along the way and had a gloomy face.

When they arrived at the general's mansion, they took him directly to the courtyard where Ge Chunru lived.

Ge Chunru had just finished taking his medicine and was half leaning on the bed, touching his stomach in a daze.

She had already learned from the court doctor that two consecutive miscarriages had damaged her body and it would be difficult for her to get pregnant in the future.

She only hoped that the people Xiao Yuanshi sent out could find the other disciples of the miracle doctor.

She truly loves Xiao Yuanshi and does not want her position as the general's wife to be shaken, so having a child is a must.

Hatred towards Old Lady Xiao and others could not help but rise in my heart again.

Just when I was thinking about how to deal with the people from Old Xiao's family, I heard the maid come to report that the general had arrived.

She didn't get out of bed, a gentle smile on her face.

When she saw Xiao Yuanshi coming in and was about to greet him, she suddenly saw the woman being escorted behind him, and her expression changed slightly.

He walked over and sat down, then asked with a somewhat indifferent expression: "Chunru, do you know this person?"

Ge Chunru clutched the quilt tightly, thought about it for a while, and nodded, "I know."

Since Xiao Yuanshi brought people here, he must have known about her plot against Xi Rui.

She already had an idea in her mind now.

Xiao Yuanshi was plotted against. It must be that the Xi family found out that she was plotting against Xi Rui and they were taking revenge on her.

She really didn't expect that the arrangement was so secretive, but it was still discovered by the Xi family.

Rather than quibbling, it is better to admit it directly.

Her eyes turned red and tears fell. She wiped them with a handkerchief and looked at Xiao Yuanshi apologetically.

"General, my brother's hand was broken by Xi Rui, and his future prospects were mostly ruined."

"I couldn't help myself and wanted to avenge my brother, so I schemed against Xi Rui."

"I'm sorry, after doing this, I already regret it."

"I wanted to tell you, but I was afraid. I was afraid that you would be angry, that you would vent your anger on me, that you would blame me."

"I can't lose you, so I keep hesitating."

Tears rolled down her cheeks, revealing her most vulnerable side and turning her most beautiful profile to Xiao Yuanshi.

Xiao Yuanshi watched her quietly until she finished crying. Although his anger was not as strong as when he was at the Xi family, it was still burning.

If the incident at the restaurant had not happened, he would not have been so annoyed and angry.

Xiao Yuanshi had an angry look on his face, "What a hesitation."

"Today I foolishly brought people to the Xi family to settle accounts, and then they gave me a woman, saying that this was a gift from you to Xi Rui, and now you are giving it to me."

"It's because you betrayed me and schemed against Xi Rui for your useless brother, and I was the one being schemed against."

"And because of your concealment, I went to Xi's house today, just like a clown on the stage."

If Ge Chunru had told him about this earlier, he would definitely be on guard against the Xi family.

It would also be difficult for him to be calculated against by Xi Rui, and it would be even more impossible for him to be so self-righteous as to take the evidence and send it to the Xi family to bring humiliation upon himself.

This was the first time Ge Chunru saw Xiao Yuanshi get angry at her.

She also knew that he was angry because he was plotted against and embarrassed by going to the Xi family.

Now she regrets plotting against Xi Rui, otherwise her brother's legs wouldn't have been chopped off, and Xiao Yuanshi wouldn't have been plotted against like that.

She got out of bed regardless, deliberately not wearing shoes, and threw herself into Xiao Yuanshi's arms, hugging him tightly.

"General, I was wrong. I was really wrong."

"I will never do such a thing again, and I will never hide it from you again."

She cried so hard that she was out of breath, and then fainted in Xiao Yuanshi's arms.

Xiao Yuanshi really liked Ge Chunru and was shocked to see her faint.

He immediately asked his personal attendant to invite the palace physician, and at the same time asked to take the woman who plotted against Xi Rui away.

After the court doctor examined her, he said, "Madam fainted because of anger. After all, her body was damaged before and she cannot be stimulated again."

He secretly took a lot of money given by the lady, so he knew how to speak.

Xiao Yuanshi asked the court doctor to prepare medicine, and then looked at his wife who was pale and unconscious with a complicated expression.

Although he had decided not to pursue the matter, this incident still left him with a knot in his heart.

He was even more angry with Ge Chunyi, thinking that this brother-in-law was simply a nuisance.

He narrowed his eyes. Such a scourge could not be allowed to stay in the general's mansion. He had to find a way to get rid of it.

On the other side, there was chaos in the Duke's Mansion.

A relative suddenly came to visit in the evening and asked me to go out for a barbecue. I just came back now. The remaining two chapters will be at 11:30 in the daytime~·      (End of this chapter)
