As expected, Xiao Yuanshi was reported by the censors one after another.
Although he had been mentally prepared, he still felt irritated and uncomfortable when he felt the complicated or disdainful looks from his colleagues.
So far, the thing he regretted most was breaking off the relationship with his son Xiao Hanzheng.
Including what happened today, all of this was caused by Ge Chunru yesterday.
Therefore, for the first time, he felt a little resentful towards his beloved little wife.
The emperor was already dissatisfied with Xiao Yuanshi, and he took this opportunity to criticize him in the court.
This made Xiao Yuanshi feel embarrassed and a little panicked.
It seems that the matter of presenting the treasure map can no longer be delayed. You have to give in order to gain.
After the court session ended, a person who usually walked close to Xiao Yuanshi took the initiative to walk up to him.
"Xiao Hanzheng is really your son?"
Xiao Yuanshi really didn't want to answer this question, but he still nodded impatiently, "Yeah."
Because of the incident with the old dude, several people who originally had a good relationship with him deliberately distanced themselves from him.
There are not many people close to him in the court now.
The man looked disapproving, "You are confused in this matter."
"Let's not talk about whether Xiao Hanzheng has any future or not. How can we just sever the relationship with a son that old?"
Only if he truly regards Xiao Yuanshi as a friend would he say such things.
Xiao Yuanshi could only sigh, "My current wife had a miscarriage because of Zheng'er's mother, and I did this in a fit of rage."
"In fact, when I was going back to Beijing to pay homage to my ancestors, I wanted to bring Zheng'er and his sister back to train them together, but Zheng'er didn't want to."
The man thought for a moment and said, "Your wife is really not a good person. You should listen to her less in the future."
They all heard that Xiao Yuanshi's concubine not only came to power as a concubine, but also deliberately used abortion to force the original wife to divorce.
After all, this was what Xiao Yuanshi's mother said, so no one suspected it was false.
Xiao Yuanshi was very annoyed to mention this, so he could only perfunctorily say: “Well, I didn’t expect her to be such a person, and I won’t do that again in the future.”
The two chatted for a few more sentences before parting ways.
Xiao Yuanshi also knew that Ge Chunru's reputation was almost ruined this time.
In fact, if he hadn't heard it from his mother, he really wouldn't have known that the miscarriage was a plot by Ge Chunru against Kong.
At that time he really loved Ge Chunru, and he felt very distressed when he saw her being pushed down by Kong and having a miscarriage, and crying heartbreakingly.
I was sad that I had miscarried the baby I was looking forward to having.
This is why he took his anger out on Kong and the other party's child.
Now, because of Ge Chunru and his mother, he has become a big joke in the capital again.
Therefore, when Xiao Yuanshi returned to the general's mansion, he suddenly stopped on his way to Ge Chunru's yard and turned to go to the guest house where Liu Ru lived.
Liu Ruzi comforted him very considerately.
She always considers Xiao Yuanshi's point of view and is very green tea towards Ge Chunru.
Old Lady Xiao and others also changed their attitude towards Tao Liu and Ge Chunru, and took the initiative to get close to them.
It was as if Tao Liu was her daughter-in-law.
Ge Chunru was so angry that she fell ill. She couldn't help but urge Xiao Yuanshi to send the person to Northern Frontier as soon as possible. She really couldn't bear it anymore.
Speaking of this, Xiao Yuanshi felt uncomfortable again.
After all, he had said that he would send people to the northern border, and it was Ge Chunru who asked the people from the old Xiao family to stay behind to deal with that bad daughter-in-law.
Now, he was stabbed several times and lost face.
However, no matter how resentful you are, it is still necessary to get rid of the person as soon as possible.
So he quickly made some arrangements and went to the yard where the old lady lived.
The old lady was drinking bird's nest at the moment, and Mrs. Wu was massaging her shoulders.
Seeing Xiao Yuanshi coming in, the old lady quickly showed a loving smile, "Second brother, you are here."
Xiao Yuanshi forced a smile, "Mom, I have something to tell you."
Old Mrs. Xiao nodded and said, "Go ahead."
"I've prepared everything for you. We'll set off in three days."
Old Mrs. Xiao knew what the second son was up to. She just wanted to send them away as soon as possible.
From what Liu Ru said, she knew that Ge Chunru had been whispering in her son's ear to send them away.
But since they were all leaving, she wouldn't deliberately make things difficult for the second brother, as she would need him in many ways in the future.
She nodded: "Okay, you have the final say."
She then asked, "What about the silver?"
Xiao Yuanshi was already afraid of them. Anything that could be solved with money was not a problem. "As I said before, I will ask the housekeeper to prepare it and you can check the accounts."
He didn't dare let Ge Chunru handle this matter again, otherwise there would be another quarrel between the two sides.
When Mrs. Xiao heard this, her smile deepened, and she took Xiao Yuanshi’s hand and said, “Second brother, I knew you were a filial son.”
Xiao Yuanshi: “…” He didn’t want to either.
He continued to give sweet dates, "Mom, I will take you back to the capital as soon as possible."
Old Mrs. Xiao smiled more lovingly, “Then we will all depend on you.”
"By the way, Mom is still worried about you."
She looked worried, "I'm afraid that after I'm gone, your troublesome wife will start to cause trouble again and end your family line."
"So tomorrow, you should consummate your marriage with Liu Ru, and then give her a legitimate status."
"This way I can go to Northern Xinjiang without any worries."
If he didn't take her into the palace and confirm her identity, what would happen if Liu Ru was sent away by that little bitch? That would definitely not work.
They still have to rely on Liu Ru to persuade Xiao Yuanshi to transfer Dalang back to the capital in two years.
If that little bitch gets the upper hand and tries to put on trouble in front of their son every day, that would be terrible. They would never be able to come back.
Xiao Yuanshi was stunned, "Mom, isn't this too fast?"
The old lady gave him a glare and said, "How can it be fast when it concerns your descendants?"
"You won't go wrong if you listen to me. I won't harm you."
Xiao Yuanshi: "..." Haven't you done enough to hurt me? "
He said awkwardly: "I'm afraid Liu Ru won't agree to this."
It’s hard to explain to my wife too.
He originally wanted to take it slow, let his wife accept Liu Ru, and let Liu Ru accept being his concubine.
Old Mrs. Xiao rolled her eyes in her heart. It would be strange if she was unwilling.
She said, "Leave this to mother. I promise to make Liu Ru willing to be your concubine."
Xiao Yuanshi immediately shook his head, "Mom, forget it, I will take care of this matter."
Old Madam Xiao's face darkened. "Then I won't go to Northern Frontier. I'll stay in the capital. When you have a baby, I'll go find your father."
Xiao Yuanshi: “…” Please don’t hurt me.
He looked up and saw the old lady's serious expression, and his heart skipped a beat. "Okay, then I'll trouble you, mother."
He didn't want the old lady to really stay.
Now I don’t have to explain to my wife because I have no choice.
The old lady smiled again, "That's right, I will make sure it's done for you."
So that day, she went to the guest house.
After various persuasions, and even the threat of banging her head against the wall to commit suicide, Liu Ru had no choice but to agree to stay in the general's mansion and give birth to a child for Xiao Yuanshi.
Of course, the two were just acting, and when Ge Chunru found out, she knew that they did it on purpose.
But Xiao Yuanshi didn't know that, and he lamented that although his mother was unreliable and would harm him from time to time, she did care about his offspring.
She felt even more guilty towards Liu Ruye. If her mother had not threatened to commit suicide, why would she have to endure such hardships?
He didn't know that this was an idea suggested by his bad daughter-in-law, otherwise he would have had a different idea.
