When did his mother understand all this? She even listed six of the seven reasons for divorce.
He couldn't help but look towards Shi Qingluo.
"Did you teach this?" There was no way the old lady could understand this.
An illiterate old lady from the countryside has probably heard of the Seven Reasons for Divorce, but it is impossible for her to know exactly what they include.
Shi Qingluo allowed him to look at her, and generously admitted, "Yes, what the seven grounds for divorce include is what I told the old lady."
"Is there any problem? Could it be that Vice Admiral Xiao thinks what the old lady said is not true?"
Before Xiao Yuanshi could say anything, Ge Chunru said sharply, "Of course it's not true."
"I admit this, but I don't have the other ones."
Shi Qingluo raised an eyebrow, "Miss Ge, don't you know what you have done?"
"Old lady, since she doesn't admit it, there's no need to say more to her. Go to North City tomorrow and ask the wives of the various families if they have any of the six of the seven grounds for her to be guilty of anything other than serious illness."
Old Madam Xiao nodded, "Okay, Qingluo, how do you think I should greet you then?"
She is really not good at this, so it would be better if she could just grab Ge Chunru and give her a beating and scolding.
What I said before was still in accordance with Shi Qingluo's teachings. It seems that it really intimidated the second brother and his wife.
Shi Qingluo smiled and said, "Just ask if asking someone to beat up your parents-in-law is considered unfilial."
"Is it considered theft if I steal the banknotes from my husband's family and give them to my brothers and sisters from my mother's family?"
"Falsely accusing the original wife, constantly sowing discord between the husband and the original wife, and letting the concubine take the position, is that considered jealousy and gossip."
"As a married woman, she was having sex with a man outside her family in public at a flower viewing party. Is this considered adultery?"
"The other is that she herself admitted that she is childless."
"That adds up to six."
Xiao Yuanshi: “…” He shouldn’t have asked that question, instead these two people echoed each other and counted it out in public.
He noticed that the new maids and servants all looked shocked, and he felt extremely ashamed.
I wonder how many of these people are spies of Prince Jin and others.
Ge Chunru was so angry that she fell backwards, "You, you..."
Then suddenly I didn’t know what to say, because what Shi Qingluo said seemed to be true.
Shi Qingluo chuckled and said, "We, what? Can't you find a reason to refute it?"
"Didn't you just shout that you were childless? You must be feeling guilty now."
"So, it's better for people not to always think of deceiving themselves."
She turned to Old Lady Xiao and said, "Old Lady, let Deputy Governor Xiao think about it carefully."
"It just so happens that I will be attending a banquet at Prince Jin's Mansion in two days. If he disagrees with your suggestion, I will take you to the Palace to ask for an audience with Prince Jin."
"I heard that King Jin of Beicheng has always been strict and fair in his work. I'm sure he will make the decision for you."
Prince Jin's reputation in the northern border was deliberately created to be quite good, and he was like a local emperor here.
If Prince Jin doesn't want the evidence that's right at his doorstep, he'd be a fool.
So as long as the scumbag dad doesn't suddenly do something stupid or lose his mind, you should know what to choose.
Mrs. Xiao now believes in Shi Qingluo in her heart, "Okay, I'll rely on you then."
"Second brother, I'll give you two days to think about it carefully."
At this moment, Mr. Xiao, who had been silent, looked at Xiao Yuanshi.
"I was never beaten with a stick when I was young, but now that I am old, your wife has someone beat me with a stick."
"If you can't do it, then don't acknowledge me as your father."
"I will bring the Xiao family back to the village, and then ask the clan leader to remove you from the family tree and move you out of Xiaxi Village."
"Please ask Zheng Er and his wife's friends to help spread this matter in the capital to show that you are no longer a member of my Xiao family from now on."
"You are so powerful, I guess you don't care."
Mr. Xiao is really famous this time.
Even now this son is still reluctant to divorce this troublemaker. If he is not even willing to demote his wife to a concubine, then there is no hope for her.
Who knows what trouble he might do in the future, which would bring trouble to their people.
When Shi Qingluo listened to what Grandpa Xiao said, he found that the old man was the smartest and most ruthless person in the Xiao family.
In ancient times, if a person was expelled from a clan, it meant that he had a problem with his character, and he would not be able to take the imperial examination, enter the government, or become an official.
Going out will be looked down upon by others.
It's like suddenly leaving the roots of a big tree, can you still live? If my scumbag father is expelled from the clan, not to mention his future prospects, even the position of the deputy governor's office will be lost if he is reported by the censor.
There is no way, the world is too deeply rooted in ethnic concepts.
Just like here it is not illegal for parents to sell their children, but in modern times it is illegal and the offender will go to jail.
If parents are unkind, at most people will talk about them behind their backs. But if their children are unfilial, not only will they be criticized, but their parents may even sue them and they may even go to jail.
This is also why they are very grateful to the scumbag dad and Ge Xiaoniang. It was a stroke of genius to separate the family and break off the relationship. Otherwise, it would be really troublesome to confront the scumbag dad and the two of them directly.
In fact, there is a high probability that Ge Xiaoniang regrets this matter now.
At first, she might have thought that she could kill her husband's family without anyone noticing, so she took advantage of her scumbag father's favor to break off the relationship with him.
Mr. Xiao's words made Xiao Yuanshi's face change, "Dad, you are my dad, how could I not recognize you?"
The old man was angry, and the old lady was completely led by Shi Qingluo, so this matter could not be resolved peacefully.
Old Master Xiao snorted coldly, "If you still recognize me as your father, then deal with this unfilial daughter-in-law."
"This is also in the Northern Frontier, and not many people know me and your mother."
"If we were to be in Xiaxi Village and the villagers knew that your wife had beaten us, we would not know how to put our dignity down."
"I'm afraid I can only find a rope and hang myself at your doorstep."
Xiao Yuanshi's expression changed again, "Dad, don't be angry, I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer."
What else could he do when his own parents were forcing him like this? It would be inappropriate to go to King Jin to make trouble, and it would be even more unacceptable if he was expelled from the clan.
When Ge Chunru heard what Xiao Yuanshi said, he looked at him in disbelief, "General."
Xiao Yuanshi's face darkened, and for the first time he yelled at Ge Chunru, "Shut up."
If it weren't for Ge Chunru, would he be so embarrassed now? Would he be controlled by the people of the Xiao family who were instigated by Shi Qingluo?
He knew the old man's temper. He usually didn't like to meddle in other people's affairs, but once he made a decision, he would really do it.
Breaking off a relationship and expelling a clan are two different things.
If the old man and the old lady proposed to break off the engagement, he might agree. By no longer being involved with the Xiao family, he could get rid of this burden.
But if he was expelled from the clan, his future would be ruined.
