Old Mrs. Xiao heard Xiao Hanzheng shouting like this.
He frowned and said, "What kind of wife did you marry? She has led you astray."
My grandson must have learned this from that dead girl.
Xiao Hanzheng's expression became even lighter, "My wife is fine, so don't worry about her, grandma."
He added: "Just tell me why you're here."
Old Mrs. Xiao walked over and sat down, “I heard that you woke up, so I came to see you.”
Xiao Hanzheng said nothing, waiting for what to come.
Old Mrs. Xiao looked around the yard and asked, "Have you exchanged the tofu?"
Xiao Hanzheng nodded, "It's finished."
Old Mrs. Xiao was very unhappy when she saw Xiao Hanzheng's cold attitude.
However, thinking about the purpose of coming here today, she still resisted the urge to lose her temper.
"I just heard that a carriage brought you a lot of things?"
Xiao Hanzheng raised his eyebrows, "Whether it was delivered or not, does it have anything to do with you?"
"If I remember correctly, we have already severed our relationship and separated. No matter how our family is doing, it has nothing to do with you."
He paused and continued, "When I was unconscious before, my mother went to the old house for help. You said this yourself."
He continued to study in the old house, and although the money he spent was mainly supported by his grandfather and the money he earned from copying books, these people were not happy.
It was as if he had taken advantage of the family and they had been scolding him since he was a child.
The more this happened, the more he wanted to change his fate and protect his mother, brother and sister.
After he passed the examination to become a student, the attitude of the people in the old house towards him changed a lot.
Therefore, as long as he was at home, he could gain some benefits for his mother and his two children.
When he passed the imperial examination and became a scholar, these people's attitudes became better again, and they even began to flatter him.
Just to let him keep the land given to the Xiao family in their name tax-free, so that they can benefit from the scholar's fame and have more face when going out.
He knew what kind of people these people were, so he didn't fall for it.
Sure enough, as soon as his scumbag father came back and found out that the other party had become a general, all the relatives in these old houses began to flatter his scumbag father.
After knowing that the scumbag father loved that woman, these people began to target him in various ways just to please that woman.
The scumbag father threatened him with breaking off the relationship, and these people also supported him.
That's why later on, he and his mother and two other people broke off the relationship and separated from the family.
Of course, it was also thanks to their snobbery that he was able to separate and live alone as he wished.
Old Lady Xiao's expression changed. "Are you really so cruel? Now that your life is better, you don't care about your grandparents anymore?"
She added meaningfully: "Don't forget, you are a scholar, and you still have to take the imperial examination."
Xiao Hanzheng narrowed his eyes, "So grandma wants to use this to threaten me?"
Old Lady Xiao said: "It's not a threat, it's just stating the facts."
Xiao Hanzheng's eyes were filled with coldness, and even a hint of hostility, "Then go ahead and sue me for being unfilial, and see if I can continue to take the imperial examination."
When I woke up from my previous life, my mother and my younger brothers and sisters were all dead.
He wanted to take revenge, and the only way he could do it was to take the imperial examination.
But it was his biological grandmother who, following the instigation of Xinghong, ran to the county school to make a scene when he was about to go to the county school, accusing him of being unfilial.
They also said that he had caused the death of his mother, younger brothers and sisters.
A teacher at the county school had always valued him, and since his family had already severed ties with his relatives, he was still allowed to enroll in the school.
Who would have thought that the old lady was instigated again and took Wang and others to the county school every day to make a scene.
At that time, a first-rank official happened to retire and came to Nanxi County to visit his relatives, and he would stay in the county for a while.
These people abruptly cut off his path to the imperial examination, forcing him to embark on another path where he had to overcome many obstacles and suffer many injuries before climbing to a high position.
What's more, due to the aftereffects of the medicine he took while in a coma, his health was getting worse and worse.
But fortunately, before he died, he died together with his scumbag father, that woman, and these top-notch people in the old house.
Now hearing the old lady threaten him with his future in the imperial examination again, he couldn't help but think of the past events in his previous life, and his hostility began to spread little by little.
Suddenly, his hand was held.
He turned his head and met his young wife's worried yet comforting eyes.
The coldness in his eyes quickly faded away, and feeling the warmth coming from his hands, his heart seemed to be warmed a little.
When Shi Qingluo heard what the old lady said, he wanted to explode.
Just as I was about to speak, I saw that my husband's face was getting colder and colder, and even the violent temper he had when he just woke up came back.
She then hurriedly held his hand and told him not to get angry with her because of these extreme things.
Old Lady Xiao really went too far. She had forced people to break up the relationship and separate the family, but she even wanted to use the imperial examination as a threat for the sake of profit, in order to ruin her young husband's future.
The imperial examination is not only important to Xiao Hanzheng, but also to Shi Qingluo.
She is still waiting to hug his thigh.
Besides, the young husband is hers, and no one outside can bully him except her.
So she continued to hold Xiao Hanzheng's hand, looked at Old Lady Xiao and said, "Did that Xinghong outside instigated you to say these words?"
If the other person wasn't an elder or an old man, and in ancient times, hierarchy was strictly enforced, she would have wanted to whip him.
But since that woman asked Xinghong to instigate the old lady and others to disgust them, she would disgust them back.
Old Mrs. Xiao said coldly: "So what if it is so?"
"If you want Zheng'er to continue to take the imperial examination, you should hand over the tofu workshop to your eldest uncle and third uncle."
"Then let us pick out the things we brought back from the county town today and take them away."
She came here today just to ask for benefits.
Shi Qingluo suddenly laughed out loud, "Old lady, I think you are quite smart, why did you act so stupid at the critical moment?"
Old Mrs. Xiao frowned, “What do you mean?”
Shi Qingluo said: "We are separated and severed from each other. Even if we go before His Majesty, my husband has no reason to honor your whole family."
"So we are not afraid of your threats just now. Just like my husband said, if you want to sue, just go ahead and see if the county magistrate will pay attention to you."
"I also sent Doctor Shi, who treated my husband, to the jail today."
"If you guys want to live in there for a while, I can help."
Old Mrs. Xiao: “…” Only a ghost would want to live there for a while.
"No matter what, I am your grandmother," she said stubbornly.
This was what Xinghong taught her. Even if the relationship was severed, it would not change the fact that she was Xiao Hanzheng's grandmother.
Shi Qingluo laughed, "Even if she is grandma, she is still my ex-grandma."
"So if we don't give you anything, no matter if you go to the clan leader or the county magistrate, they won't care. After all, we are two families now."
"Severing kinship and dividing the family is no joke. Otherwise, what do you think of the clan and the law?"
Shi Qingluo then changed the subject, "But when I said you were being stupid just now, I didn't mean this."
Old Mrs. Xiao said with a headache: "What do you mean? Just say it clearly."
She was almost confused by this damn girl.
