Upon seeing this, Old Lady Xiao also handed the child over to the wet nurse and followed with her two daughters-in-law.
Seeing this, Tao Liu showed a sarcastic arc at the corner of her lips, and she waited to see how Ge Chunru would respond.
At this time, a maid came in carrying soup.
She smiled and asked again: "Madam, this is the soup that the kitchen specially made for you. I will serve it to you now?"
Tao Liu looked at this man and felt a chill in her heart.
This person was the maid who had been following her since she entered the general's mansion. Her father was seriously ill and it was she who gave him money for his medical treatment.
But I never expected that this man was bribed by Ge Chunru in order to build a big house for his family.
If she hadn't received the news from Xiao Hanzheng's people, she would never have thought that this man was hiding small clothes stained with smallpox in order to harm her child.
People are so evil.
She secretly hated him, but she didn't show it on her face. She waved her hand and said, "Drink later."
The head maid did not try to persuade her, but looked at the child in the nurse's arms with tenderness on her face.
She walked over to the nurse and said, "Come, let me hold the young master."
The wet nurse didn't think much about it. After all, she was the lady's maid and had helped hold the baby a lot recently.
Just as I was about to hand the child over, I heard my wife say, "Bring the baby over to me."
The nurse immediately turned the direction of the child she was holding, "Yes, ma'am."
The maid was stunned for a moment, and she said anxiously: "Madam, let me hold it for you."
Tao Liu narrowed her eyes, "No, I haven't hugged her today."
Then she hurriedly took the child from the wet nurse's arms, and only when she saw the baby's peaceful sleeping face did she feel relieved.
Then she got up and carried the child to the inner room, "I'll take her to sleep for a while."
She asked the wet nurse and a maid to stay, and sent everyone else out.
Seeing this, the maid had no choice but to give up and follow the other two out.
As soon as she went out, Tao Liu instructed the maid who had stayed behind to secretly monitor the head maid.
This maid was given to her by Xiao Hanzheng, so she is trustworthy.
She didn't know why, but she always felt that the maid seemed to want to attack her daughter.
Xiao Hanzheng told her that it would be better for her to expose and resolve the hidden dangers around her as soon as possible, otherwise the child might get into trouble by accident, and she also thought so.
The maid left immediately afterwards.
The other side.
When Xiao Yuanshi walked to the door, he heard Ge Chunru's voice.
Ge Chunru cried, "How dare you chop off my brother's fingers? I will make sure you die miserably!"
A burly man from the casino snorted, "The concubine of the deputy governor is really so powerful."
"It is only natural to pay back debts. Even if you are a concubine of the deputy capital, you still have to pay it back."
He snorted coldly, "I only chopped off your brother's little finger before. If you don't pay me back, I will chop off his whole hand."
Ge Chunyi covered his fingers, trembling in pain, and said to Ge Chunru: "Sister, please save me, save me!"
“I don’t want to be chopped off.”
Before, he relied on his brother-in-law being the deputy governor and did not take the money and IOU he lost in the gambling house seriously.
These people asked for it several times and even issued a so-called ultimatum, saying that they would chop off their hands if they didn't give it.
He also didn't take it seriously and didn't think these people would dare to do that.
So when these people came to collect the debt again today, he still didn't pay.
But he didn't expect that these people actually grabbed his hand and chopped off his little finger.
Only then did he realize that these people were not afraid of his brother-in-law at all, and they were also terrified.
He and Niu had already spent all the money his sister had given them, and they still owed the gambling house so much money, so how could they have the money to pay it back?
Ge Chunru felt distressed when he saw his brother's appearance. "I'm going to report to the police. You're going too far."
The big man curled his lips indifferently, "It's up to you. Even if the prefect of North City comes, your brother can't deny the money."
"Concubine Ge, you only need to say that you have not repaid the debt your brother owes you."
"If you don't return it, I will take him back and chop off his hands."
Hearing this, Ge Chunyi hurriedly said: "Sister, help me!"
Ge Chunru felt sorry for his brother, but was also disappointed that he had become like this.
But the biggest feeling is guilt.
She was under house arrest for these days, and was not released until that bitch Liu Ru gave birth to the little bitch.
As a result, I was unable to take good care of my younger brother, and I didn't know that my younger brother actually fell in love with going to the gambling house.
This is a road of no return. She once planned to seduce Xiao Dalang.
Seeing the big man's tough look, she knew he was obviously not afraid of Xiao Yuanshi, otherwise he would not dare to bring his brother to his house.
She had no choice but to ask, "How much silver do you want?"
The big man replied: "Thirty thousand taels of silver."
Ge Chunru's eyes widened. "What? So many?"
Ge Chunyi was also stunned, "How can it be 30,000 taels? It's obviously more than 10,000 taels."
The big man sneered, "Everyone knows the rules of the gambling house. If you keep delaying paying back the money, the interest will be compounded."
"It was originally over thirty thousand taels, and I even rounded off the decimal point for you."
Ge Chunru's face changed. "You are totally committing robbery. I will ask the deputy governor to arrest you all and close down your gambling house."
She doesn't have 30,000 taels in her hand now.
The big man looked like he had heard the biggest joke. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Xiao Yuanshi walking out.
He looked at Xiao Yuanshi and said, "The deputy governor is so arrogant. Your concubine's brother owes us money and refuses to pay it back. Now he wants to arrest us and shut down our gambling house."
"Deputy Governor, do you think so too?"
The boss behind them is the son of Prince Jin's Mansion, so he is not afraid of a deputy governor who has little real power.
Xiao Yuanshi's expression was not very good. "This is a matter between you and Ge Chunyi. I won't interfere."
He knew that the boss behind this gambling house was a bastard whom Prince Jin valued.
That's why these people dared to be so arrogant and brought people to the Deputy Governor's Office to demand that they pay back the money.
There was no way he would go head-on with Prince Jin's Mansion just for his useless brother-in-law Ge Chunyi.
Hearing this, the big man smiled with satisfaction: "The deputy governor is still sensible."
Then he turned around and said sternly: "Take Ge Chunyi back to the gambling house to chop off his hands."
Several thugs immediately stepped forward and dragged Ge Chunyi and Niu up.
"No, I won't go."
Ge Chunyi struggled non-stop, "Sister, save me, save me!"
He felt afraid only now.
He hated Xiao Yuanshi even more in his heart. This brother-in-law was so cruel that he didn't even care about his life or death.
How could Ge Chunru allow these people to take her brother to have his hands chopped off?
So he immediately looked at Xiao Yuanshi with tears in his eyes, "Deputy Commander, please save Chunyi."
Xiao Yuanshi was annoyed when he saw her caring about her brothers from her mother's family. "How can I save her? It's only natural to pay back debts."
He had already spent so much money on Ge Chunru's brothers and sisters, it was impossible for him to come up with another 30,000 taels.
