Xiao Yuanshi’s eyes widened, and he looked at the old lady in disbelief.
His mother was so poisonous that she could tell nonsense with open eyes.
If this gets out, that he locks his mother in the firewood shed and doesn’t give her food, then how he will live?
When did the old lady have a backup plan?
While still thinking about it, Xiao Laoda on the side yelled: “Second brother, you are too much.”
“We sell our house and land and come all this way to see you, but you treat our parents and us like this.”
“And you still want to ground us, you are dreaming.”
“We have already made an appointment with friends outside.”
“If we don’t come out from the general’s mansion for 2 or 3 days, they will write a pleading letter for us and send it to the Yamen, accusing you of abusing and imprisoning your parents and brothers.”
He felt very lucky, fortunately, there was a reminder in the letter written by Shi Qingluo.
He asked Dalang and Erlang to write a few pleadings, sealed them in envelopes, and then gave them to the friends he made recently, as well as the waiter in the restaurant.
As long as they didn’t get out of the general’s mansion for three days, let those people help deliver the envelope to the Yamen.
They were also afraid of being imprisoned and abused, or as Shi Qingluo said, his second brother may kill them madly.
When they are grounded in the general’s mansion, and given medicine. They will slowly fall ill and die, and they will have nowhere to cry.
Xiao Hanzheng was deliberately drugged which caused a high fever. If it wasn’t for Shi Qinglou, he might be dead by now.
Shi Qingluo said that this matter was instigated by the little hoof, and they still believed it.
After all, only his second brother and the little hoof can spend a few hundred taels to buy the doctor and have murderous intentions.
They say that even a vicious tiger will not eat its cubs, but Xiao Hanzhe was his second brother’s biological son. His second brother can do this cruel thing to his son, let alone brothers who were separated by one layer.
In Xiao Hanzheng’s case, they felt scared, so they sent those letters before they went to the Yamen to make trouble today.
Because they were afraid that it would not be safe, they asked several people for a favor.
Of course, there was a pain in their flesh when they gave rewards.
But now, it seems that this choice was correct.
If they don’t make preparations early, they will be grounded.
Xiao Yuanshi’s eyes widened again in shock.
Could it be possible that the people in the main house were possessed by evil spirits? They even made such preparations in advance.
It kind of caught him off guard.
Originally, he planned to ground them, and then deal with them after the rumors outside were resolved.
As for poisoning, he hadn’t thought about it. After all, there were more than a dozen people in the main house, if they all died at once. Even a fool would know there was something wrong.
Now, many people were staring at the General’s Mansion.
But he can’t ground them feet anymore, it doesn’t look like they were lying.
“Well, you guys are really good.”
He trembled with anger: “You guys have to deal with it yourself.”
After finishing speaking, he turned around and walked away quickly, fearing that if he stayed any longer, he would not be able to stop himself from killing his parents and the others.
When Ge Chunru saw this, she immediately dragged his younger brother and followed him out.
The best products of the main house all sneered with triumphant smiles on their faces.
“Dalang, you continue to write to that girl in 2 days and tell her what happened.”
“That girl is very evil. She can predict what these two beasts will do. She will teach us how to deal with the problem properly.”
“Could it be that if you study under the immortal master, you’ll be able to predict the future or something?”
Old Lady Xiao admired Shi Qingluo now.
At the same time, she was a little scared.
“Okay, I’ll write a letter in 2 days.” Xiao Dalang had the same idea.
He added: “Grandmother, let’s avoid offending that girl in the future. I also think she is too evil.”
In the past, he didn’t believe that the Taoist Priests become immortal, but now he does believe it a little bit.
The other best product of the main Xiao family also felt the same way. They felt that it was okay to offend Xiao Yuanshi and that little hoof, but they better not offend that evil girl.
Old Lady Xiao nodded: “That’s right, we have a good relationship with her now. Don’t you scholars all say that the enemy of our enemy is our friend?”
Xiao Dalang smiled and said: “Grandma, you are so awesome, you even know this.”
*
Xiao Yuanshi, who was furious, didn’t know that his previous actions had completely hurt the old lady’s heart and classified him as an enemy.
Otherwise, he will have to vomit blood directly.
Ge Chunru stepped forward and comforted him gently.
Of course, subtle frictions were also unavoidable.
In the past, Xiao Yuanshi would have hugged his beloved wife to comfort her, but now looking at her red and swollen face and eyes, coupled with her irritability, he suddenly lost that mood.
He said: “In the future, don’t let Chunyi appear in front of the old lady and others.”
Ge Chunru’s heart skipped a beat. She knew that Xiao Yuanshi was dissatisfied with his younger brother.
She scolded the provocative old lady in her heart, but nodded, “Chunyi just wanted to help me. He is still young and prone to impulsiveness. I will teach him more.”
At the same time, she gave his brother a subtle look to let him admit his mistake.
Ge Chunyi used to admire Xiao Yuanshi very much, but now he rarely feels dissatisfied.
It was those people who bullied his sister and ruined his reputation, why did he still need to apologize?
But living under the other party’s roof, he could only lower his head and admit his mistake: “Brother-in-law, I shouldn’t have been so impulsive. But when I saw them pulling my sister and slapping her in the face, I couldn’t hold it back. I knew I was wrong.”
Xiao Yuanshi was an old fox, but Ge Chunyi was still a bit immature. In front of him, it would be impossible to see that his brother-in-law was dissatisfied and his apology was not sincere.
He narrowed his eyes. It seemed that he should pay more attention to his brother-in-law’s training in the future.
But he didn’t show it on the surface: “You are still young, impulsiveness is normal, think about your sister more before doing things in the future.”
“Yes!” Ge Chunyi replied but didn’t take it seriously.
Xiao Yuanshi also noticed it but didn’t say much.
He turned his head and said to Ge Chunru: “Move all the things you transferred back to the warehouse. I will persuade the old lady to withdraw the case later.”
Those things were removed from the warehouse after Ge Chunru discussed them with him.
Ge Chunru also thought so: “Yes!”
The two were discussing to move things quickly.
But who knew that the housekeeper would come to report? The Yamen Official came with someone again.
Both Xiao Yuanshi had a bad premonition.
Then rushed outside to greet people.
Xiao Yuanshi wanted to delay time and let Ge Chunru transfer things.
But the Yamen Official doesn’t fall on this kind of trick.
The above said, the matter of the General’s Mansion must be confirmed.
They have a set of interrogation methods. The people who were taken away from the General’s Mansion before were not trained, so they confessed quickly.
“General Xiao, there’s no need for tea. We have interrogated and found out where the stolen silver and valuables are. Please don’t stop us from doing our business.”
Xiao Yuanshi knew that this person’s stinky stone, wouldn’t give anyone face.
But who made this guy have a great background?
He was the grandson of the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment. He only trained in the Yamen. He will enter the Ministry of Punishment in the future.
He also knew that it was difficult to save face, so he said: “Of course, I won’t stop you, but I’m afraid there may be some misunderstandings.”
The Yamen Official said: “Whether it is a misunderstanding or not, we have to investigate first.”
Xiao Yuanshi scolded the old lady and others in his heart: “Okay, then please.”

Omg your comment makes so much sense! The father is not only preoccupied by the stepmother, he also wants no reminders of his farming background. I didn’t make that connection before
