As soon as he entered the room, he saw King Yi. He was stunned, obviously surprised.
Then he bowed first, "Greetings, Your Majesty!"
Liang Yulin did not say anything to Xiao Yuanshi that prohibited him from saluting.
After the other party finished his greetings, he said calmly, "General Xiao."
Xiao Hanzheng asked, "General Xiao, is there anything wrong?"
Xiao Yuanshi regretted coming here at this time, mainly because he didn't expect King Yi to be there.
He was becoming increasingly confused about his son. Not only did he know King Yi, but they could even sit down and eat together.
This shows that the relationship is not shallow.
His mind couldn't help but become more active.
He smiled and replied, "I promised Bai Li today that I would give her the nearby hot spring villa."
"I sent it over right after the transfer."
Xiao Hanzheng could tell that his scumbag father was saying this on purpose for King Yi to hear.
If you don’t know, you would think that the scumbag father loves his daughter very much.
He curled his lips and smiled, "I heard that the manor you gave to your sister-in-law as a dowry is also nearby. General Xiao really knows how to choose a place."
This large area is full of hot spring resorts, and the prices are the most expensive near the outskirts of Beijing.
Xiao Yuanshi smiled awkwardly, "That was not arranged by me."
Shi Qingluo raised his eyebrows, "Former father-in-law, although that was not arranged by you, it was arranged by your current wife. Could it be that you are no longer a family?"
"You change your mind so quickly!"
She said with a smile: "I heard that there is a concubine in the general's mansion who has become a concubine and is very favored. Will there be good news soon? Will she become the general's wife?"
"It's not like there's no precedent. After all, General Xiao, you're a well-known high-ranking official who likes to turn his concubines into his principal wives."
Xiao Yuanshi: “…” This damn girl is too good at bullying others, and his eldest son is not a good person either.
Liang Yulin, who was sitting nearby, watched the excitement and chuckled, "Should we congratulate General Xiao in advance?"
"When the time comes and you change your wife and hold a banquet, I will definitely send you a gift."
This little woman Shi Qingluo is really good at talking.
He doesn't mind adding fuel to the fire to make the show more lively.
Xiao Yuanshi: “…” Why did this sick prince come out to cause trouble?
"Your Majesty has misunderstood. I would never do that."
He had done it once before, and if he did it again, he didn't know how people would laugh at him.
What's more, he only liked Liu Ruye, a beautiful girl with a lot of eloquence. How could she be his wife?
Mother Xiao sneered, "It's not like you haven't done it before."
"What kind of big shot is this?"
She has the most say in this matter.
Xiao Yuanshi choked, "..." This woman is becoming more and more unforgiving with her words.
His eyes flickered, and he sighed with a guilty look on his face, "I know I did something wrong to you in the past, and I'm here to make up for it."
King Yi must have known about what happened in the General's Mansion. If he explained or denied it, it would only make people more disgusted. It would be better for him to pretend to be regretful and guilty.
It is a great help to admit one's mistakes and improve upon them.
Shi Qingluo raised his eyebrows, "Just to compensate for one manor?"
"The only person you feel guilty about is Bai Li?"
"Shouldn't you also compensate my mother-in-law and brother-in-law?"
Xiao Yuanshi was really afraid of meeting this bad daughter-in-law.
Now that he was asked to pay compensation in front of King Yi, if he objected, he would be slapping himself in the face.
He smiled and said, "That's what I should do."
Then he changed the subject and asked, "Do you want me to make it up to you as well?"
Shi Qingluo didn't see what his scumbag father was thinking.
But she waved her hand and said with some disdain: "As a couple, we don't need it. After all, my husband is more talented than you and can pass the imperial examination to become an official. He doesn't need your help to arrange it."
"I get a lot of dividends every month and I'm not short of money. I really don't care about the small amount of money you want to compensate me."
Xiao Yuanshi: “…” They were deliberately belittling him and showing off themselves. How despicable.
He really didn't want to talk to this bad daughter-in-law.
Because I know I can't win the argument, and most importantly, if I'm not careful, I might fall into the trap in her words.
For example, just now she said that he should compensate Kong and his youngest son.
So he looked at Xiao's mother and asked, "Yuelan, I didn't know the truth about what happened before and misunderstood you, causing you to suffer."
"Whatever you want, as long as I can do it, I will do my best to compensate you."
In his heart, although Kong Yuelan was taught by Shi Qingluo to be a little sharp-tongued and aggressive, she was still the kind and virtuous ex-wife.
If he offered to compensate her, she would most likely not accept it.
Even if I want it, I won't ask for too much.
If it was before, Xiao's mother would definitely be a little confused.
After all, she had never experienced this before and had no experience in dealing with it.
But today, when her daughter-in-law was teaching the children, she listened to a lot of what she said.
So after thinking about it, he said, "Okay, since you want to make it up to me, if I stop you, it will be my fault again."
"It will also make you unable to sleep or eat well after you return."
"The official road from the capital to this village is difficult to travel. I saw many villagers nearby grow vegetables and carry them to the capital to sell. The road is full of potholes and mud and difficult to travel on."
"Why don't you build a cement road from the capital to here in the name of compensating me?"
On the surface, it was the road that Xiao Yuanshi paid for to be built.
When the time comes, let his son send someone to the capital to pass on the message, with the main point being that this road was built by Xiao Yuanshi out of guilt and to compensate her.
Even if this damn scumbag spent money, no one would remember that he spent money on building roads.
Because building the road was not for the people, but he felt guilty about doing something wrong and wanted to compensate his ex-wife.
In the words of my daughter-in-law, they were just trying to spread rumors privately, saying that he had done so many bad things to his ex-wife and children that he would have nightmares at night.
So compensation is needed to feel at ease.
Behind the scenes, who knows how everyone despises this damn scumbag.
In the end, it seemed that Xiao Yuanshi had spent money to gain fame and fortune, but in fact it was not the case. Instead, he would become a laughing stock in the capital.
The key is that there is a trap ahead, and the scumbag has to admit it for the sake of his face.
This King Yi is really a good man.
If he wasn't here today, she would have made such a request to the scumbag. Given his personality, he would most likely refuse or drag his feet.
So she glanced at King Yi with bright eyes and gave him a nice guy card.
King Yi is a martial artist and has very sharp senses.
Naturally, he noticed Kong's look. Looking at her bright eyes, it was easy to guess what she was thinking.
He was actually very surprised. He didn't expect Kong to make such a request.
On second thought, this was just setting a trap for Xiao Yuanshi, and in the end it would be a thankless waste of money and effort.
It seems that the Kong family, who were the recipients of the compensation, would not forgive him for this, and those who benefited from the road construction would not appreciate his kindness either.
After all, he built it nominally to compensate the Kong family out of guilt, not for everyone.
If people want to thank someone, they should also thank Kong.
This woman is indeed interesting.
