Old Madam Xiao sneered, "Auntie Ge, didn't you run away so quickly? Why are you back now?"
Wang and Wu also chimed in.
"If she doesn't run back, where else can she go?"
"My second brother is the only one who keeps such an unfaithful woman. If she were to be thrown out there, no man would be interested in her."
If it were in the past, Ge Chunru would always show an angry expression.
But now her mind is not on this at all.
"Madam, I'm tired and want to go back to the yard to rest."
Old Madam Xiao snorted coldly, "Shameless little bitch, a concubine actually ran around without the permission of the mistress of the house, it's totally outrageous."
"Kneel here and don't get up until two hours later, or you'll get out of the Vice Governor's Mansion."
Her hatred for Ge Chunru would never fade away, and she wanted to torment him every time she saw him.
Ge Chunru felt very aggrieved, but she knew that she was now isolated and helpless in the Deputy Governor's Office.
I could only nod and say, "Yes!"
Old Lady Xiao asked the maid to watch Ge Chunru kneel, and then she left with her two daughters-in-law.
Forced to kneel under the scorching sun, Ge Chunru's hatred grew stronger. One day, she would kill all the people in the Xiao family.
When Xiao Yuanshi came back from outside, someone reported that the old lady had punished concubine Ge to kneel in the yard.
If it were in the capital, Xiao Yuanshi would definitely go to help first.
But now I think kneeling as punishment is a good thing.
His personal attendant had already told him that Ge Chunru had followed him to the gambling house.
But his people failed to get in, so no one knew what happened after Ge Chunru went in.
But his close attendant said that Ge Chunru had been in there for quite some time, which made him feel uncomfortable.
He guessed that Ge Chunru would try to find a way to raise money for that loser recently, so he had to avoid her.
So he went to Liu Ru's yard and sat for a while.
Ge Chunru asked the maidservant around her to keep an eye on him, and she knew when Xiao Yuanshi returned home.
She still had a glimmer of hope in her heart that he would come to the yard to help her and not let her kneel in the scorching sun as punishment.
But in the end, she became more and more disappointed. The scorching sun shone on her body and face, but she didn't feel hot at all. Instead, her heart felt very cold.
Before she fainted from heatstroke, she had only one thought in her mind: she was going to use that packet of strong medicine because Xiao Yuanshi was so heartless.
When I woke up, Ge Chunru was already lying on the bed in the room.
She had no appetite, so she lay quietly in bed waiting.
But after waiting all night, Xiao Yuanshi did not come to see her.
She knew he was afraid that she would ask him for money to save her brother.
He was so cruel. He had watched her brother grow up, yet he could just ignore him.
The so-called love in the past was all bullshit.
The next morning, Ge Chunru got up, dressed up, and went to the kitchen to cook soup herself.
Naturally, ingredients were added to the soup.
Then she took it to the study to find Xiao Yuanshi.
Xiao Yuanshi was handling official business when he heard his personal attendant say that Concubine Ge wanted to see him, and he got a headache.
Just as he was about to say no, Ge Chunru called out from outside, "Deputy Commander, I have something important to tell you."
She added, "The people at the casino told me yesterday about your future."
When Xiao Yuanshi heard this, he frowned and let her in.
Walking into the study, Ge Chunru put the soup on the table and served him a bowl of soup.
"You've been working hard lately. Have a bowl of soup first."
Seeing that he didn't drink the soup, Ge Chunru guessed that he might be afraid that she had poisoned him.
This man is really a piece of shit. He has started to be on guard against her.
So she poured herself a bowl, blew on it and took two sips, "I made this soup, it tastes pretty good, you should try it too."
Seeing that Ge Chunru drank the soup and looked like that, she wouldn't say anything if she didn't drink it.
Xiao Yuanshi didn't think much about it, he drank the soup in the bowl and said perfunctorily: "It tastes really good."
Since they met, they always make chicken soup together. She doesn’t get tired of it, but he always does.
Seeing his perfunctory look, Ge Chunru really wanted to reach out and scratch his face.
She drank the soup in the bowl slowly and then said, "If you help my brother pay back the thirty thousand taels of silver, I will tell you."
Xiao Yuanshi's expression suddenly turned ugly, "Where do I get thirty thousand taels?"
The woman deliberately lied to him, saying that she had something important to tell him, but it turned out that she was after money.
He snorted coldly: "You used all the money you earned before to subsidize your brothers and sisters-in-law from your mother's family."
"I advise you to teach Ge Chunyi a lesson, otherwise it will be a bottomless pit."
"You are so nice to him, but he may not appreciate it in the end."
He had long seen that Ge Chunru's brother and sister were both ungrateful people.
Ge Chunru sneered in her heart. She had already given Xiao Yuanshi a chance. If he gave her 30,000 taels now, she would tell him about the man who asked her to steal the map.
After all, those people were too dangerous, and she was a little scared.
But looking at Xiao Yuanshi's appearance, not only was he determined not to give the money, he even implied that her brother was an ungrateful person. This was too much.
So she pounced on him immediately as she had planned, hitting and grabbing Xiao Yuanshi.
"You bastard, you have been lying to me, saying you only love me, but now you not only..."
Xiao Yuanshi didn't expect Ge Chunru to do this. He was caught off guard and had several bloody scratches on his face.
Listening to her crying and cursing, his face became even uglier.
"I loved you at first, but after you cheated on me, all that love is gone."
"I am kind to you by allowing you to stay in the Vice Governor's Mansion. Don't be ungrateful."
"Go out and ask other people what they would do if their wives cheated on them in public."
He pushed Ge Chunru away angrily and said, "If you continue to act unreasonably like this, go and live with your brother."
Then he didn't want to get entangled with Ge Chunru anymore, and left the study quickly with a grim face.
This kind of thing happened more than once or twice, and he was really tired of it.
His affection for Ge Chunru had almost been exhausted, and now he felt an unprecedented disgust towards her.
Just like what Shi Qingluo said, he was really blind at the time, which is why he was bewitched by such a woman and lost his truly simple and gentle wife and promising son.
Ge Chunru cried and cursed behind him, and even smashed the teacups and other things on the desk.
After Xiao Yuanshi walked away, she continued to cry, curse and smash things, but her face was cold.
And feel around for the map.
She had already planned it out. As long as she acted unreasonably like before, Xiao Yuanshi would be unable to bear it and leave, abandoning her in the study.
This had happened several times before, so he didn't suspect that she was doing it on purpose.
She has been with Xiao Yuanshi for so many years and is very familiar with some of his little habits.
As a result, several secret compartments were found, but after opening them, it was discovered that there were no maps inside.
He searched around the study again and his eyes fell on an inconspicuous vase with some scrolls in it.
