When Ge Chunru saw Xiao Yuanshi’s dark face, she picked up the handkerchief and wiped the corners of her eyes.

“At that time, Qingluo asked her parents to go to the county town to report someone who wanted to harm her.”

“To say that the person who instigated them was under my command is simply too deceptive.”

She only received the news about this today and was very angry.

Her people wrote to say that now the entire Nanxi County knows that she forced Mrs. Kong and Xiao Yuanshi to break ties and sent people to destroy Shi Qingluo’s innocence.

Although the letter did not mention the impact, she could imagine how those in Nanxi County would scold her.

She has been building a good reputation, but it was successively destroyed by the main Xiao Family and Shi Qingluo, which made her crazy.

So she won’t let it go.

Xiao Yuanshi’s face turned even darker: “Shameless.”

The family’s scandal should not be made public, but his daughter-in-law does not mind it and spreads everything to the outside world, which is hateful.

His wife’s reputation in his hometown has been ruined, and his reputation is not in a good position either.

Ge Chunru asked with red eyes: “General, are we just letting it go?”

She knew that Xiao Yuanshi would not be lenient when dealing with Shi Qingluo because of the conspiracy and ruining her reputation.

Xiao Yuanshi sneered: “Of course, I won’t just let it go.”

“But I received news that Liang Youxiao and others went to Nanxi County, and Xi Rong was also there.”

“There must be secret guards around her, so after they leave Nanxi County, I will send someone to take action.”

No wonder, Liang Youxiao and others ran away from home and ran to Nanxi County. It turned out that several people secretly plotted against him.

He couldn’t swallow this breath.

Ge Chunru’s eyes flashed, as she asked worriedly: “Will Zheng’er be angry or take revenge?”

Her people suffered successive defeats, and Tao Liu and her cronies suddenly disappeared from the Shi family, which gave her a bad feeling.

So she was not ready to take action herself for the time being.

She didn’t want to see Xiao Hanzheng pass the imperial examination or become a Jinshi.

Her brother’s future was gone, and neither was Xiao Hanzheng.

Xiao Yuanshi thought for a while: “I won’t let him have a chance to take revenge.”

He didn’t want his son’s life, but he could learn from Xi Rui and have his son’s writing hand disabled so that even if he had to take the imperial examination, it would be impossible.

Ge Chunru felt relieved upon hearing this.

She changed the subject: “General, I heard that the second prince is going to take a concubine recently?”

Xiao Yuanshi nodded: “That’s true.”

Ge Chunru asked without beating around the bush: “What do you think of Chuyi?”

Xiao Yuanshi was stunned, obviously not expecting that she would ask this.

“You want Chuyi to be the second prince’s concubine?”

Ge Chunru sighed: “Chuyi saw the second prince one time and couldn’t help but fall in love with him. As a sister, I feel heartbroken when I see this.”

“So if possible, I hope that her wish can be fulfilled.”

Xiao Yuanshi frowned slightly: “Her identity to be the second prince’s concubine, I’m afraid, is not enough.”

This was a nice way to put it, but indeed, it was simply not enough.

Ge Chunru secretly resented that her family was wealthy in the previous dynasty, but now they have to be shackled by this poor status.

“General, I only have one sister, can you think of a way?”

She took Xiao Yuanshi’s hand and continued: “If Chuyi can marry the second prince, it will also be helpful to us.”

“If she gets married to someone with low status, we will also be disgraced. I feel bad about it.”

Xiao Yuanshi had never thought about this problem before, but now that he heard it, he felt that it could be done.

He was now on the line with the second prince, which was equivalent to siding with him.

If they have an in-law relationship, their connection will be more secure.

“I’ll go see the second prince in 2 days to find out what’s going on.”

Although he said this, he was sure that the other party would agree.

Ge Chunru leaned in his arms: “Thank you, general, for taking the trouble. My sister will definitely remember the general’s kindness to her.”

Xiao Yuanshi smiled and said: “We are a family, we don’t need to treat each other like outsiders.”

Ge Chunru was still recuperating, Xiao Yuanshi sat for a while and then left.

And she ordered people to hire assassins and go to Nanxi County to make preparations.

Then went to the Yamen.

On the road that he passed by, a carriage with a broken wheel blocked the way.

Xiao Yuanshi was very irritable and wanted to get angry when he got off the carriage.

“Move your carriage to the side first and let others pass by first.”

But then he heard a nice and soft female voice coming from the carriage.

He felt embarrassed to vent his anger and suppressed it.

Then he saw an elegantly dressed woman, wearing a veil, being helped out of the carriage by a maid.

She smiled apologetically at him and ordered someone to move the carriage quickly.

Xiao Yuanshi saw that the other party was not very old. Although half of her face was covered, she was a beauty.

He didn’t think much of it and asked someone to help move the carriage.

The woman did not bother to talk to him. She waited for the carriage to move to the side, thanked him for his kindness, and then turned around and got into the carriage.

Xiao Yuanshi didn’t take this kind of thing seriously.

Two days later, he met this woman again, who was being teased and bullied by several gangsters in the capital.

He took this path today as a temporary decision, so he didn’t think it was a calculation.

Seeing the woman’s pitiful look with red eyes aroused Xiao Yuanshi’s protective desire, so he asked someone to go up and help.

After successfully driving away the gangsters, the woman stepped forward to express her gratitude and interacted with Xiao Yuanshi.

However, she didn’t deliberately take the initiative to approach him. Her words were very considerate, like a delicate flower.

So when Xiao Yuanshi was bored, he would go to the yard where she lived to sit and talk.

At Xiaxi Village.

Shi Qingluo took Xi Rong and others to the Taoist Temple to pay their respects, but this time her master did not appear.

Xi Rong and Xi Rui walked around the Taoist Temple and lost interest.

Then they asked Shi Qingluo to take them to the mountains for hunting.

Because of the presence of the woman Xi Rong, after Xiao Hanzheng went to the county school, Shi Qingluo took a few people into the mountains.

If there were only a few men, such as Liang Youxiao and Xi Rui, she would not go alone and would have to avoid suspicion.

In the past two days, they didn’t go into the deep side, they played around on the periphery.

So today, Xi Rui said: “Let’s go deep inside to take a look. The outer parts are not fun.”

It was no fun to just shoot a few rabbits every day.

Xi Rong agreed, “That’s right, Luoluo, please take us deep into the depths to play.”

“We have brought guards, so safety is no problem.”

Liang Youxiao also said: “I heard that in these deep mountains and old forests if you are lucky, you can encounter ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum. Let’s try our luck.”

Shi Qingluo was also more interested in the mountains: “Okay.”

Fei Yuzhe: “……”

Sure enough, these people can’t sit still when they get together.

Afraid that something might happen to a few of them, she had no choice but to take others with her.

After entering the mountains, Shi Qingluo took a knife and marked the trees every time he walked.

Xi Rong asked: “What are you doing?”

Shi Qingluo replied: “It’s easy to get lost in these deep mountains and old forests, so I put a mark. If you get lost, you can find the mark.”

Xi Rong’s eyes lit up, and she learned, “Luoluo, you are so smart.”

Shi Qingluo chuckled: “Thank you for the compliment.”

After going deep into the forest, they didn’t encounter any wild beasts, but they did find a swarm of wild bees.

Shi Qingluo took them to dig out wild honey together, which was very exciting.
