She smiled and asked, "Didn't you guys ever want to go back to Nanxi County to enjoy life?"
When Old Lady Xiao heard this, she was furious. "That bastard, the second son, said that we would suffer if we followed him back, so he asked us to stay in Beicheng and Zheng'er would take care of us."
"Who knows if he wants to go back and enjoy himself."
Shi Qingluo had no idea that his scumbag father actually wanted to set a trap for them before leaving.
Fortunately, they didn't want to let their scumbag father go, otherwise the other party would have taken advantage of the opportunity and left the Xiao family's top-notch products in North City. What a waste.
Shi Qingluo looked confused and said, "He still has a lot of assets and money. He might be afraid that you will follow him back and it will be difficult for him to settle you down."
Then she changed her mind and said, "He has no son in the future, so he should want to return to Nanxi County to adopt a son to take care of him in his old age. With a title and so much property hanging on his shoulders, that stepson will definitely be filial to him."
"If you follow me back to Nanxi County, if you think the adopted child is not suitable, you will definitely object, and he will not be able to adopt the child. That's why I instigated you to stay in Beicheng."
"And even if he doesn't adopt the child, he can still recruit a son-in-law when his current daughter grows up."
"With so much money, he can buy a good business in Nanxi County, and he won't have to worry about his son-in-law being unfilial in the future."
Old Madam Xiao pouted unhappily, "Just marry off a little girl, why bother finding a son-in-law?"
She didn't like the little granddaughter.
And he would never agree to let the second son give the family property to a little girl.
Shi Qingluo knew the old lady would say this, and she said, "No matter what, that is Baron Xiao's only bloodline."
Seeing Wu rolling her eyes, Shi Qingluo was afraid that they wanted to harm the little girl.
Then he immediately said: "In fact, if you don't want her to inherit the family property, you can just leave her and her mother in North City."
"Give her a house and some property as her dowry in the future. Beicheng is so far away from Nanxi County, Baron Xiao will not be able to help her in the future."
Tao Liu sent a letter yesterday asking her husband for help, to see if she and her daughter could stay in Beicheng, as they did not want to go back to Nanxi County.
Tao Liu's sister was initially controlled by Ge Chunru. After being rescued by her young husband, she married into a small family outside the capital.
But last year her husband died suddenly of illness, and she gave birth to a daughter, but her in-laws could not accommodate her and her daughter.
So he brought his daughter to the north city to seek refuge with Taoliu.
Tao Liu wanted to stay in North City with her sister and raise the two children together.
But his scumbag father didn't know about this, so when Tao Liu heard that they were going to the capital, she couldn't wait to write another letter to beg for help.
Shi Qingluo could just help Tao Liu get this done.
Sure enough, the three old ladies thought it was a good idea as soon as they heard it.
As for why Shi Qingluo came up with such an idea, they put themselves in his shoes and thought that maybe the couple didn't like this sister, so they didn't want to take advantage of Xiao Yuanshi.
The old lady thought for a moment, "Why should a little girl be left with a house and property as a dowry?"
"Just give him one or two hundred taels."
Wang and Wu already considered Xiao Yuanshi's property as their own, so they nodded and said, "That's right, the little girl is not worth much."
Shi Qingluo: “…” If she didn’t need to use these people to deal with her scumbag father, she would have been itching to punish them herself.
Her face darkened. "How come a little girl is worthless? I am also a woman, but I became a princess."
"Come to think of it, you are not girls. If that's the case, then you don't deserve to eat and drink well, do you?"
Seeing her look so gloomy, Old Lady Xiao and the other two felt a pang in their hearts.
"Qingluo, don't get me wrong. We are not talking about you. Of course you are different."
Shi Qingluo snorted coldly, "Be more careful with your words next time."
The three of them immediately smiled flatteringly and said, "Yes, yes, we will pay attention to it next time."
Shi Qingluo's expression softened a bit, "Why are you so stupid?"
"That's the last bloodline of Baron Xiao. Even if he wants to save face, he can't send his daughter away for just one or two hundred taels."
"It's just a yard and some property. Compared to Baron Xiao's wealth, it's just a drop in the bucket."
“You have to know how to make choices.”
"Otherwise, if Lord Xiao lets his daughter marry a son-in-law, all the property will belong to them."
"It would be better to give that daughter some more things now so that she won't go to Nanxi County to look for Baron Xiao again."
"If you take the initiative to bring it up, Baron Xiao will be happy and think that you still love his daughter."
Then Shi Qingluo started to fool people again, which made the three old ladies feel that it made a lot of sense.
So when I left the jewelry store, I had two ideas in mind.
The first is that he must follow her back to Nanxi County, and the second is that he must leave Liu Ru and her daughter in Beicheng.
As a result, the Xiao family staged another big drama.
The old lady went back and talked to the old man, and then the two of them went to find Xiao Yuanshi.
Old Madam Xiao held Xiao Yuanshi's hand and said with a loving motherly look, "Second brother, we thought about it and still feel uneasy about you going back alone, so we decided to go back with you."
The old man also looked concerned, "Your legs and feet are not in good condition now. If we don't go back with you, who will take care of you?"
Xiao Yuanshi: “…” He really wanted to say that not going would be the best way to take care of me.
"Dad, Mom, Nanxi County is just a small county town, not as prosperous as North City, so I really don't want you to go back with me and suffer."
"I have servants and maids around me, I can definitely take care of myself."
Old Madam Xiao shook her head, "No, how can a servant or a maid take care of you as attentively as I do as your own mother?"
"Without us watching, they might do something sneaky."
Xiao Yuanshi: “…” I wouldn’t feel at ease if you were the one taking care of me.
He showed an expression of filial piety, "Dad and Mom, I can't bear to let you suffer with me!"
Old Mrs. Xiao cursed the beast inwardly for trying to deceive them again.
But she patted his hand lovingly, "You are our most cherished and beloved son. As long as we can take care of you, what does it matter if we suffer a little?"
The old man nodded and said, "Yes, we went to the capital and came to the northern border to take care of you."
"If you return to Nanxi County, we certainly can't abandon you just for the sake of living a life of luxury."
"We've been through a lot of hard times in the village before. As long as we can take care of you at any time, we'll be happy no matter how hard it is."
Xiao Yuanshi: “…” No one would believe that.
The old couple care about their youngest son and eldest grandson the most. Now they are lying and saying that they care about him the most. It's so fake.
He thanked them, but it was unnecessary.
