After the preparation, keep an eye on the old lady and others to see if they have any contact with people in the capital to determine if someone is plotting against him behind his back.
After serving the old lady her meal, Ge Chunru lost her appetite.
She looked at Xiao Yuanshi with tears in her eyes and mouthed "Xinghong."
She didn't dare to speak again, otherwise the old woman would probably attack her again.
Xiao Yuanshi felt so distressed when he saw the slap marks on his wife’s face and the tears in her eyes.
He usually holds the person in his arms and loves her so much that he can't even bear to say a word to her. His mother is really too much.
If this happened in his hometown, he would definitely not be able to help but make trouble and directly defend it.
But he has too many concerns in the capital. Now that he is a new upstart in the court, there are many people who want to find something to hold against him.
He didn't know whether there were spies sent by anyone in the general's mansion, so he could only bear with it.
He hadn't felt so depressed and uncomfortable for a long time since he started to get promoted at the border.
He asked on behalf of his little wife, "Mother, where is Xinghong? Why didn't she go to the capital with you?"
The old lady had been observing the two of them, and naturally noticed that this vixen was making eyes at her son.
Just as Shi Qingluo said, this vixen was too cunning. She didn't show up herself, but instead instigated her son, which was very bad.
She pouted, "It's okay if you don't mention that little hoof. I get angry when you do."
"She was not at all peaceful in the village. She hooked up with a man who was traveling for business. She ran away with him some time ago."
Before coming, Shi Qingluo said that if these two people asked about Xinghong, don't say that she was sold by them, just say that she ran away with a strange man.
This way they can also squeeze and control Ge Chunru, and also cover up their selling of people.
So the old lady raised her head and looked at Ge Chunru meaningfully, saying, "Like master, like servant."
Her meaning was very clear, just as shameless.
These words made Ge Chunru's face change, and she couldn't help but dig her fingertips into the flesh of her palm.
The old woman was so vicious that she made up such words to humiliate her.
She absolutely did not believe that Xinghong would run away with some traveling businessman.
After all, she had promised before that as long as Xinghong could coax these disgusting people in her hometown, she would bring her back in the future and send her to be a concubine to a high-ranking official in the court.
Xinghong was very excited at that time and helped her to hold these people back.
But now, because she had no evidence and didn't know the truth, she really couldn't refute the old lady's words.
She looked up and asked, "Is there some misunderstanding?"
She didn't want to bear the shameless reputation imposed by the old woman. If she told others, where would she put her face? Old Mrs. Xiao patted the table and raised her triangular eyes, "Why, are you going to question me, your mother-in-law, again?"
"Don't think that just because I'm flattering you, you're really a daughter of an official family. You're just a poor peasant girl. Don't act like a bitch in front of me."
"That girl of yours has never been a quiet person. She is a slutty vixen at first glance. What's so strange about her running away with someone?"
"She almost ruined your niece's reputation by doing this, and I haven't even settled the score with you yet."
"How about this, go get some jewelry and fabrics and compensate them properly."
“Otherwise I’ll go out and ask if all the maids raised by noble ladies in the capital are so shameless.”
She would feel uncomfortable if she didn't let this vixen bleed a little.
Ge Chunru's face froze. She obviously didn't expect the old lady to become so difficult and sharp.
If I had known earlier, I shouldn't have asked about Xinghong's affairs and investigated privately, but I would have gotten myself into trouble instead.
"Mom, you misunderstood. I dare not question you."
She changed the subject and said, "I have already prepared some gifts for my nephews and nieces. I will have them delivered to them in a while."
This is of course false.
At this moment, she really wanted to slap the old woman a few times, but she had to deal with it with a frustrated look on her face.
She was afraid that the old woman and others would go out and talk nonsense, destroying the good reputation she had worked so hard to build.
Old Mrs. Xiao was pleased with herself and hummed, "That's pretty good."
The others also had an idea of what was going on, and Wu was even more cautious.
In this way, the people of the Xiao family settled down in the general's mansion in the capital.
The old lady is old and goes to bed early at night. She wakes up before dawn every morning and doesn't want maids to serve her. She wants her daughter-in-law Ge Chunru to take care of her.
Ge Chunru had no choice but to get up before dawn every day to serve the old woman.
I had to serve her breakfast, lunch and dinner, and help her take a bath every two days.
Wang and Wu often joined forces with the old lady to bully her.
Even when she was still a boudoirist, Ge Chunru had never suffered such suffering and grievance. She was tortured to the point of being listless all day long and always on the verge of collapse.
But whenever she cried in front of Xiao Yuanshi, the old lady would cry even louder.
There was even one day when she pretended to be sick, and the old lady went to sit at the gate and throw a tantrum.
If the maid she sent to keep an eye on the old lady had not reacted quickly and coaxed the person back, who knows what would have happened.
But the old lady's word that she was pretending to be sick and unwilling to serve her mother-in-law still spread.
She was so angry that she really fell ill this time. She couldn't help but complain to Xiao Yuanshi and asked him to find a way to get the person back to the village.
She really couldn't stand it anymore. If this continued, she would go crazy.
Xiao Yuanshi had had enough, and while coaxing his little wife, he was trying to find a way to get these people back.
Ever since the best of the Xiao family arrived at the General's Mansion, the two of them had been living in chaos and misery every day, and they no longer had the energy to keep an eye on Xiao Hanzheng.
Of course, this is a later story.
On the other side, the Xiao family.
Xiao Hanzheng woke up, and Xiao's mother and the other two also came back from outside.
Xiao Xiaomei happily went to cook several new dishes.
Xiao's mother was also happy that her son had returned, and the family sat together happily for dinner.
After dinner, Shi Qingluo habitually took Xiao Hanzheng for a walk.
Seeing this, Daidai chased after him.
It kept moving closer to Shi Qingluo, trying to push Xiao Hanzheng away.
Shi Qingluo chuckled when he saw this, "This is your father, don't bully him."
Daidai tilted his head in confusion and looked at Xiao Hanzheng, called him a few times with disgust, then turned around and went back to sticking to Shi Qingluo.
Xiao Hanzheng: “…” When I woke up, I had a new wife, and now when I came back from a trip, I had a new goose.
He asked with a smile: "When did I become its father?"
Shi Qingluo took his arm and said, "Brother Zheng, raising a pet is just like raising a child, so it is our goose, we must raise it well."
Many people who keep pets nowadays treat their pets as their own children. She had been envious of them before.
It’s a pity that I couldn’t maintain it due to work relationship, but now it can be realized.
Xiao Hanzheng: “…” As soon as he heard her call him Brother Zheng, he had a bad feeling.
So he really had an extra goose this big to raise...
Shi Qingluo reached out and touched Daidai's head again, "Be good, be filial to your father in the future."
Then he took out a homemade goose meatball soaked in spiritual spring water from the small pouch hanging on his clothes and threw it to the dog.
He pointed at Xiao Hanzheng again and said, "Be good, call me daddy."
Daidai immediately grabbed the meatball and swallowed it with great aftertaste.
Only then did he reluctantly make a perfunctory "ga" sound towards Xiao Hanzheng.
Xiao Hanzheng: “…” There’s no need to be so forced.
