Chapter 159: Promise to trick the fool

That night, Xiao Yuanshi also fell ill and developed a high fever.

He was afraid that his illness would infect his little wife, so he went to live alone in another courtyard.

Ge Chunru, who had a miscarriage, was unable to take care of him, so she asked the maid next to her to serve him all night.

The general mansion’s doctor also stayed on guard all night.

It was almost dawn, and Old Man Xiao and Old Lady Xiao also went to the yard.

After watching for a while, Xiao Yuanshi woke up.

He was stunned when he saw his parents sitting in the room.

Old Lady Xiao’s eyes were red and swollen. When she saw Xiao Yuanshi waking up, she rushed towards him.

“My son, you finally woke up, you made me and your father worried about you to death.”

What she said was half-truth and half-lie.

Ever since she learned that Ge Chunru had a miscarriage, she had been worried.

It was Mrs. Wu who reminded her that Shi Qingluo had said before that if she wanted to confront that foxy girl, she could choose to coax Xiao Yuanshi.

So she discussed it with the old man and came over to guard him.

Old Man Xiao’s eyes were also red. He looked at Xiao Yuanshi and said: “We all know that the things outside are just rumors. Don’t take it to heart.”

“You should take good care of your health these days, your health is important.”

It was the first time that Xiao Yuanshi felt such care from his father and mother, and he was already sick and fragile.

Then the defense line in my heart was broken a little, and my attitude softened a lot: “I made my parents worried.”

Old Lady Xiao held his hand and cried: “You are the flesh that fell off my body. Seeing you sick and suffering, how could your father and I not be worried?”

“It’s all that Ge Chunyi’s fault. If he hadn’t provoked that Xi Rui, you wouldn’t have been tricked.”

They had already heard from the second son’s followers that his son was plotted by Xi Rui, so they hated the Ge siblings even more.

“Son, if something happens to you, how will your father and I live?” Then she started to cry again.

Xiao Yuanshi’s original intention of settling a score with the old lady suddenly faded away.

Especially when he woke up and his parents were there, but his little wife was not.

Although he knew that the other party was recuperating due to a miscarriage, he still felt a little uncomfortable.

He couldn’t help but get angry when he heard his old mother’s words.

The cause of Xi Rui’s incident was Ge Chunyi.

If the other party doesn’t provoke the devil incarnation, will he be implicated in the plot?

He opened his mouth to appease the old lady and the two of them spoke.

The two of them felt greatly relieved when they saw him like this. It seemed that he had passed the test.

Then they said some more words of concern before leaving.

As soon as the two left, Xiao Yuanshi’s cronies walked in.

“Master, the waiter from the restaurant has returned to his hometown.”

Xiao Yuanshi raised his eyebrows: “Return to his hometown?”

The confidant replied: “The shopkeeper of the restaurant said that the waiter wrote a letter from home saying that his mother was sick and asked him to go back.”

Xiao Yuanshi sneered: “How could it be such a coincidence? The trouble is with him. Go to his hometown and bring him back.”

“Or pry out the person behind him.”

The confidant nodded, “Yes!”

Ge Chunru learned that the old woman went to cry and complain, but Xiao Yuanshi did not pursue the matter of causing her miscarriage, and she felt resentful again.

Next, Xiao Yuanshi fell ill, so he asked someone to go to the Ministry of War to ask for a few days’ leave for him.

The rumors about him in the capital not only did not subside but became more and more intense.

Liang Youxiao’s people worked hard and finally made a batch of skateboards and scooters.

So he called Xi Rui over again.

“I specially brought this from Nanxi County for you to play with.”

Xi Rui looked at the skateboard in confusion: “How to play this?”

Liang Youxiao personally demonstrated: “Watch.”

In addition to rushing work in the workshop recently, he was also diligently practicing various difficult skateboarding moves at home.

Although he was not as good at playing as Shi Qingluo, he could still play a few tricks.

It also made Xi Rui and several other dudes who came with their eyes straightened.

“What is this? It’s so fun to watch.”

Liang Youxiao laughed and said, “This is a skateboard!”

Xi Rui couldn’t wait to say: “I’ll give it a try.”

Then from being uncomfortable at the beginning, he was gradually able to play.

That was what people called having fun, he enjoyed this more than playing mahjong.

Liang Youxiao watched Xi Rui for a short time before he was able to perform a few moves that were not difficult, with a black line all over his head.

As expected, this guy was the most proficient in playing. It took him several days in the Xiao Family to reach such a level.

Soon, Xi Rui and a few dudes left with the skateboard given by Liang Youxiao.

That day, on the main street in the capital, people could see a group of young dandies playing on the street on a wooden board.

Not only does it slide fast, but it can also perform many dazzling and thrilling moves, which are particularly eye-catching.

It also made many boys and girls look straight at it.

They all ran to ask Xi Rui what this was.

Because these young dandies gained a lot of attention, skateboarding suddenly became popular in the capital.

This was the case in this era. Following the trend was more serious than in modern times. After all, there were too few entertainment things.

Especially because it was led by Xi Rui, who was well-known in the capital and was the most playful, which made his peers want a skateboard even more.

Liang Youxiao immediately started selling skateboards and scooters in the decorated shop the next day.

They also specially trained several staff to serve as demonstrators.

The price was not ordinary.

A skateboard costs fifty taels of silver, and a scooter costs sixty taels of silver.

Of course, the materials he asked to use were of higher quality than those given by Shi Qingluo, and the appearance was also improved.

The capital was not a place that was short of money, so the young masters from various families lined up to buy it with their money.

There were also many young ladies’ maids among them.

Of course, the young ladies buy them back, mainly for fun at home.

Therefore, a scene will be played out in many homes in the capital.

“Mom, give me some money, I want to buy a skateboard.”

“Why do you want to buy something like a skateboard that costs 50 taels of silver?”

“Everyone around me is skateboarding. It would be embarrassing if I didn’t buy one!”

“Buying shit, it’s just a boy from the Liang family who created it to trick you fools. 50 taels is not a small amount.” This was the scolding of his father.

“Forget it if you don’t want to pay. I’ll go find my grandmother. I don’t want to be embarrassed in front of my classmates.”

“You, you bastard, let’s see if I don’t beat you!”

Then within two days, the teenagers were almost beaten by their father and bought a scooter……

The promise to trick fools began…

No matter what, Liang Youxiao made a lot of money.

Because his family background was strong enough, no one followed suit for a while and made skateboards and scooters for sale in the capital.

However, some people bought skateboards and scooters and secretly developed them, preparing to sell them elsewhere.

On the other side, Xiaxi Village.

Xiao Hanzheng also received two letters from the capital.

One was written by Liang Youxiao, and the other was written by someone from Xiao Hanzheng.

After reading the letter, Shi Qingluo felt very happy: “Xi Rui and Liang Youxiao did a great job!”

“Old Lady Xiao’s fighting ability has not diminished, and she even caused that woman to have a miscarriage.”

Xiao Hanzheng chuckled and said: “It’s also retribution.”

When the woman used her child against his mother, she should have been prepared for retribution.

His people inquired and found out that the woman was injured this time, and it would be difficult for her to get pregnant again.

The Scumbag Father Zha also sent people to check whether his master was dead and to check the other apprentices of the master.

The Scumbag Father should have found out about him being the apprentice of a miracle doctor before. After all, Fei Yuzhe didn’t hide it when he brought his nephew to treat illnesses, nor did he hide it when he went to Fucheng to help people treat illnesses.

He curled his lips and said: “I suddenly have some expectations. If the scumbag father and that woman determine that I am the only disciple of the miracle doctor, and only I can help her adjust her body to become pregnant as soon as possible, I wonder what will be their expression.”

Shi Qingluo couldn’t help but laugh out loud: “I’m also looking forward to it. It’s fun to think about it.”

The Scumbag Father and that woman may want to split right on the spot.
