Chapter 161: Defeat

Xi Xinheng took it and read it casually.

“I already know that it was Rui’er who did that to you.”

Seeing Xi Xinheng’s appearance, Xiao Yuanshi suddenly had a bad premonition.

“Your Majesty, do you mean that the Duke’s Mansion supports this matter?”

He said with a cold face: “If this is the case, then I have no choice but to go to the Emperor for comment.”

Although he didn’t want to fall out with the Duke Mansion now, his current attitude made him unable to help but feel angry.

Xi Xinheng glanced at the waiter behind Xiao Yuanshi, whose hands were tied and trembling.

He spoke meaningfully: “If you come to give me a gift today, I won’t let you go back empty-handed, so I will give you a gift in return.”

He clapped his hands, and two maids pulled a young woman out.

Xiao Yuanshi looked at Xi Xinheng inexplicably.

The heir of the Duke’s mansion could still want to give him a woman.

Xi Xinheng looked at Xiao Yuanshi’s appearance and guessed that the other party didn’t know what his wife had done.

“This is a gift from your wife to my Rui’er, I will give it to you now.”

“Before, on the street, this woman hugged my son’s leg and said that she had my son’s flesh and blood. She completely ruined my son’s reputation.”

“It will also make it difficult for my son to get engaged later and choose a wife.”

He looked at Xiao Yuanshi with a half-smile: “You should have heard about this. My son’s innocence was ruined by your wife. You are her husband, my son only did what she did to him. Isn’t it just right?”

Xiao Yuanshi: “……”

Your son is innocent.

However, the anger in his heart also burned more fiercely, but this time it was not against Xi Xinheng.

He didn’t expect that Xi Rui had plotted against him because there was such a reason.

He looked towards the woman and saw that her face was white, and her eyes were twinkling.

Coupled with Xi Xinheng’s attitude, he already believed it.

The dignified Duke’s Mansion would not deceive him about this matter.

He was particularly embarrassed at this time. He originally wanted to use some leverage against the Duke’s Mansion, but unexpectedly he was defeated by someone else.

However, Xiao Yuanshi was not an ordinary person.

He nodded without changing his expression: “Thank you, Your Majesty, I will accept this gift.”

Xi Xinheng picked up the teacup and took a sip: “General Xiao, please!”

This feud has been settled, so he doesn’t need to be polite.

Although he often wanted to beat his youngest son, when others wanted to plot against his son, it depended on whether he would allow it or not.

Xiao Yuanshi also knew in his heart that it was destined to be impossible to cooperate or ease the relationship between him and the Duke’s Mansion.

It would be good if we didn’t target each other in the future.

He just prays now that the Empress Dowager, who has been ill recently in the palace, can die directly.

He didn’t take away the waiter, but he took the woman away.

He didn’t ask any questions along the way and kept a sullen face.

When they arrived at the general’s residence, he took the woman directly to the courtyard where Ge Chunru lived.

Ge Chunru had just finished drinking the medicine and was half-lying on the bed while rubbing her stomach in a daze.

She already knew from the doctor that two consecutive miscarriages had damaged her body, and it would be difficult to get pregnant in the future.

She only hoped that the people Xiao Yuanshi sent out could find other disciples of the Divine Doctor.

She truly loves Xiao Yuanshi and doesn’t want her position as the general’s wife to be shaken, so having a child is a must.

The hate she felt against Mrs. Kong and others could not help but rise again in her heart.

Just when she was thinking about how to deal with the main Xiao family, she heard the maid coming to report that the general was here.

She didn’t get out of bed, but she had a gentle smile on her face.

Seeing Xiao Yuanshi come in, he was about to greet him when he suddenly saw the woman being escorted behind him, and her expression slightly changed.

Xiao Yuanshi has been observing his little wife’s expression and naturally caught it.

He walked over sat down, and asked with a somewhat calm expression: “Chunru, do you know this person?”

Ge Chunru gripped the quilt tightly, thought about it in her mind, and nodded: “I know.”

Since Xiao Yuanshi brought the person here, he must have known about her plot against Xi Rui.

She already knew it in her mind.

Xiao Yuanshi was plotted against. The Xi Family must have found out about her scheming against Xi Rui and deliberately took revenge.

She didn’t expect that the Xi Family would find out about her careful arrangement. She did it so secretly.

Instead of making excuses, it was better to admit it directly.

Her eyes were red and tears fell. While wiping them with a handkerchief, she looked at Xiao Yuanshi apologetically.

“General, at that time my brother’s hand was broken by Xi Rui, and most of his prospects were ruined.”

“I couldn’t hold back my impulse and wanted to avenge my brother, so I plotted against Xi Rui.”

“I’m sorry, I already regret it after doing this.”

“Originally I wanted to tell you, but I was afraid. I’m afraid that you would be angry, and that you would blame me.”

“I can’t lose you, so I keep hesitating.”

Tears rolled down her cheeks. She showed her most vulnerable side and beautiful face to Xiao Yuanshi.

Xiao Yuanshi watched her cry quietly. Although his anger was not as strong as in the Xi Family, it was still burning.

If the incident at the restaurant had not happened, he would not be so annoyed and angry.

Xiao Yuanshi had anger on his face: “Good, you hesitate.”

“Today, I foolishly brought someone to the Xi Family’s mansion to settle the accounts, and then they gave me a woman. They said that this was your gift to Xi Rui, and now they will give her to me.”

“Just because you went behind my back and plotted against Xi Rui for the sake of your now-crippled brother, I couldn’t utter a single word to refute.”

“And because of your concealment, I went to the Xi Family’s mansion, just like a clown jumping on the stage.”

If Ge Chunru had told him about this earlier, he would be wary of the Xi Family.

It won’t be easy for Xi Rui to scheme against him, and it would be even less likely that he will take the initiative to go to the Xi Family to humiliate himself.

Ge Chunru saw Xiao Yuanshi get angry at her for the first time.

She knew that he was plotted and had been disgraced when he went to the Xi Family, so he was angry.

Right now, she regretted plotting against Xi Rui. Otherwise, her brother’s legs wouldn’t have been cut off, and Xiao Yuanshi would not have been plotted against like that.

She got out of bed regardless, deliberately not wearing shoes, and threw herself into Xiao Yuanshi’s arms, hugging him tightly.

“General, I was wrong, I was wrong.”

“I will never do such a thing again in the future, nor will I hide things from you again.”

She cried so hard that she was out of breath, and then she fainted in Xiao Yuanshi’s arms.

Xiao Yuanshi liked Ge Chunru and was shocked when he saw her fainting.

He immediately asked his confidant to call the family doctor, and at the same time, he told him to take away the woman who had plotted against Xi Rui.

After the family doctor came to see her, he said: “The madam fainted because of the intense blood circulation. After all, her body was damaged before and she could no longer be stimulated.”

He took a lot of money from Ge Chunru secretly, so he knew what words to say.

Xiao Yuanshi asked the family doctor to prepare the medicine and then looked at his pale and unconscious little wife with some confusion.

Although he had decided not to pursue the matter further, this incident also made him feel a knot in his heart.

He was even more angry with Ge Chunyi. This brother-in-law was simply a disaster.

He squinted his eyes. Such a scourge could no longer stay in the general’s mansion. He had to find a way to get rid of it.

On the other side, there was a lot of excitement in the Duke’s Mansion.
