Shi Qingluo looked at Ge Chunru who was questioning her with confidence and just found it funny.
She raised her eyebrows, "I didn't slander you randomly, I just told you about your affair at the Beijing Flower Viewing Banquet."
"Didn't you and Zheng Tongfeng have an affair? Didn't he kiss you?"
Ge Chunru glared at Shi Qingluo fiercely, "You framed me."
Shi Qingluo sneered, "The legs are on you. If you had no relationship with Zheng Tongfeng, would you be with him?"
"You have a mouth too. If there was nothing fishy going on between you two, how could you kiss so passionately?"
"I wasn't the only one who saw you two hugging and being intimate. You're blaming me for this?"
"I just want to ask you, have you kissed Zheng Tongfeng?"
Seeing that Ge Chunru was about to refute, she added: "If this is not true, I will have no descendants. If it is true, then your brother will have no descendants."
Regardless of whether Ge Xiaoniang was willing or not, the fact is that the two of them kissed at that time.
Ge Chunyi: "..." What does it have to do with him? This woman is too vicious.
But precisely because Shi Qingluo said this, Ge Chunyi looked at Ge Chunru in shock.
He really didn't expect that his sister would have an affair in the capital and was caught being intimate in public. This was too embarrassing.
Xiao Yuanshi's face darkened again, and he even felt a little embarrassed.
Ge Chunru was so angry that her whole body was shaking, "Shi Qingluo, don't go too far."
She did kiss Zheng Tongfeng, so she didn't dare to refute it. It was Shi Qingluo, that damn girl, who cursed her brother. She didn't dare to gamble. That damn girl was very evil.
Shi Qingluo shrugged. "It's just a statement of fact. Is that too much?"
"Is it any more excessive than having your parents-in-law beaten?"
Ge Chunru choked, "You!"
Old Madam Xiao looked at Ge Chunru with disdain, "Not only are you a jinx, you're also a fickle, shameless bitch."
"Second brother, your eyes are blind, is your heart blind too?"
"Do you really have to keep such a troublemaker around to mess up the Deputy Governor's Office more and more outrageously?"
Xiao Yuanshi was in great pain. "Mom, if I divorce my wife, what should I say if someone asks me why?"
"I just came to North City and haven't established myself yet. I'd better not do something that will damage my reputation for the time being."
He added meaningfully: "If I am dragged down because of my bad reputation, I won't be able to take care of my brothers and nephews."
Old Madam Xiao rolled her eyes and said, "I was pulled down just because I divorced my wife. Do you think I'm a fool?"
She snorted coldly, "If you don't want to divorce me, then I will sue your wife for beating her parents-in-law and beating Dalang, an official appointed by the court."
Xiao Yuanshi said helplessly: "Mom, this place is so far from the capital, how can you sue?"
"I asked Chunru to apologize to you. You can beat me or punish me if you want, but just don't mention divorce again, okay?"
If this happened in the capital, he would be afraid that the old lady would go to the Kyoto prefect to make trouble, but in the north city, he would not have such concerns.
He didn't believe that the old lady would really go to the capital to file a complaint.
The old lady sneered, "Why should I go to the capital to file a complaint? I will go to Prince Jin's mansion to file a complaint with Prince Jin in a moment. This is his fiefdom under his jurisdiction."
"Although I can't deal with you as the deputy governor, your wife has no imperial edict or status. I believe that Prince Jin can still handle it impartially."
Xiao Yuanshi didn't expect his mother to say such words.
He couldn't help but look at Shi Qingluo. This was definitely taught by his bad daughter-in-law.
Shi Qingluo raised his eyebrows at him, as if to say, "I taught you this, what can you do to me?"
Xiao Yuanshi: "..." How did he end up with such a mother and daughter-in-law? If this really came to the attention of Prince Jin, Prince Jin would indeed be able to deal with Ge Chunru's leading people to beat up the imperial official according to the law.
The key point is that given Prince Jin's temperament, it is very likely that this matter will be used to control him.
"Mom, calm down. Don't be angry anymore."
Old Madam Xiao still refused to give in, "Second brother, I think you are really confused."
"This woman is so unlucky and hurts you so much, yet you still want to keep her."
Xiao Yuanshi smiled bitterly, "No matter what, she has been with me for so long. If she is divorced, how can she live?"
"Mom, please think about me."
Old Mrs. Xiao seemed to be touched by his words and began to think deeply.
After a moment, she looked up and said, "Okay, I won't divorce her for your sake."
This also made Xiao Yuanshi and Ge Chunru feel relieved.
Then the old lady changed the subject, "Divorcing her will bring shame to you, and she won't be able to survive."
"Then demote my wife to a concubine."
"A woman like her who has no moral integrity, cannot bear children, and is fickle has no right to be your legal wife."
"Letting her stay in the Vice Governor's Mansion as a concubine is a bargain for her. It's a favor."
Xiao Yuanshi was stunned, obviously not expecting the old lady to make such a request.
Ge Chunru's expression changed again, "No, I don't want it."
Demoting your wife to a concubine will make her feel ashamed.
Old Madam Xiao snorted, “This is not up to you.”
Then he started to scold Ge Chunru, "Back then, Kong Shi was filial to her parents-in-law and took care of their children. She didn't make any mistakes, but you almost made your second son demote her to a concubine. How come you can't do that?"
"Don't forget that you beat your parents-in-law, killed your husband and children, cheated on your wife, and couldn't have children."
"Allowing you to be my concubine is a compliment to you, don't be so shameless."
Ge Chunru was so angry that his eyes turned black. This damn old woman was too much.
Shi Qingluo smiled and said, "Since Miss Ge was able to make such a suggestion back then, I believe it would be easy for her to accept it."
She looked at Ge Chunru with a half-smile and said, "Others can be demoted to concubines, and you can do it too."
Ge Chunru felt a chill all over her body. She now understood completely that the old lady was definitely instigated by this damn girl.
His real purpose was not to divorce his wife, but to demote her to a concubine and avenge Kong.
"Mother, you were used by Shi Qingluo. She just wanted to target me for the Kong family."
She turned to the old lady and said, "She used you to sow discord between us, the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law."
Didn't Mrs. Xiao know that Shi Qingluo was using her to deal with Ge Chunru? Of course she knew.
But the enemy of my enemy is my friend, and this little bitch who dared to let someone slap her in the face is their common enemy.
"What's the point of provoking others? You are a filthy person, so don't think others are that filthy too."
"You were able to make the second brother treat the Kong family like that, and now it's your turn and you refuse to do it. You deserve to be killed!"
Old Madam Xiao looked at Xiao Yuanshi and said, "Second brother, think about it carefully. This is so embarrassing and unlucky for you, should you still be the legal wife?"
"I'm your mother, how could I possibly harm you?"
"I'll give you two days to think about it. If you don't divorce her or demote her to a concubine, I'll go to King Jin and sue her."
"Of the seven grounds for divorce, she accounted for six: being unfilial to parents, childlessness, adultery, jealousy, excessive talk, and theft."
"If you can't bear to let her go, then your father and I will divorce her on behalf of the Xiao family and remove her from the family tree. Our old Xiao family can't afford such a daughter-in-law."
She snorted, "If you don't believe me, we can wait and see."
