If she followed what she was taught in the brothel, Tao Liu would get out of bed habitually, pretending to be weak, and accidentally throw herself into Xiao Yuanshi’s arms.
Just like what she did to Xiao Hanzheng in the village before.
But Shi Qingluo warned her certainly not to do that.
She better let Xiao Yuanshi always think she had no choice but to follow him.
If she was too easy to get, he wouldn’t cherish her.
And if she takes the initiative to send herself to his door, it will arouse Xiao Yuanshi’s suspicion.
Instead, she has to act like she’s doing it for his good, and she cares about him, but she doesn’t want to ruin the relationship between him and his wife.
Tao Liu resisted the urge to fall into Xiao Yuanshi’s arms.
After putting on her shoes and walked a few steps away on the same spot. She smiled at him and said: “You see, I’m fine now.”
“When I leave, the Madam will not be angry or make trouble with you again.”
She comforted herself and said: “You don’t have to worry about these things anymore.”
Xiao Yuanshi watched her pretending to be strong, just to prevent Ge Chunru from making trouble with him again so that he wouldn’t be upset.
How could such a beautiful woman come from such a dirty place as Ge Chunru’s mouth?
Moreover, Liu Ru’s smile and behavior did not look like a prostitute.
Although she is not as dignified and elegant as a woman from an aristocratic family, she doesn’t have the demeanor of a woman from a lowly family but rather comes from a good family.
He didn’t know that when Tao Liu was being trained in the capital, she especially learned the soft-spoken accent of Jiangnan women.
Before going to the capital, Xiao Hanzheng secretly asked someone to teach her how a merchant lady should look and forcibly changed some of the habits she carried around in the brothel.
Plus, with the new white lotus style image designed by Shi Qingluo for her.
This made Xiao Yuanshi not believe in Ge Chunru so much.
He asked with a sullen face as if he was unhappy: “Then after you went back, you committed suicide again?”
Tao Liu’s face suddenly turned pale, like a child who had made a mistake and lowered her head: “I, I won’t.”
Seeing her like this, Xiao Yuanshi suddenly wanted to reach out and touch her head, but she still held back.
He reassured: “Don’t think so wildly, you can live in the general’s mansion from now on.”
Tao Liu looked up at him with tearful eyes: “I, I don’t want to stay in the general’s mansion.”
“If I stay, the Madam will still be angry and make trouble with you. You are so kind, and I don’t want you to be embarrassed because of me.”
“Don’t worry, I won’t commit suicide this time.”
She pretended to be optimistic and said: “No matter what, I just won’t get married in the future.”
Xiao Yuanshi’s heart was touched again: “No, I made it clear to her just now, and she has accepted you.”
Tao Liu rolled her eyes inside her heart. This man was telling lies with his eyes open.
With Ge Chunru’s temperament, how could that be possible?
She pretended to be flattered: “Really? Madam, don’t blame me anymore?”
Xiao Yuanshi said without conscience: “Yes, she doesn’t blame you anymore.”
Tao Liu burst into tears and smiled: “That’s great, Madam is such a good person.”
She held back her nausea and said: “You must cherish her.”
Xiao Yuanshi’s eyes unconsciously showed a little more smile: “You should think more about yourself.”
She always considers others, how can she be so stupid?
Tao Liu was deliberately confused when he saw this: “But I still want to leave the General’s Mansion. If I live here, it will affect your reputation, General.”
“I just regard you as a friend. As long as Madam doesn’t blame you, and you can reconcile, I’ll feel at ease.”
She had goosebumps when she said these words, but let alone, this alternative way of applying eye drops was quite interesting.
Looking at Xiao Yuanshi’s appearance, it was obvious that he believed her words.
At that time, Shi Qingluo has a very strong temper. Who would have thought she would teach her the opposite things?
She doesn’t know if Shi Qingluo treats Xiao Hanzheng like this.
If Shi Qingluo knew what she was thinking, she would shake her head. She just taught Tao Liu this ‘Tea Talk’ she saw on the Internet. If she was asked to do it by herself, she couldn’t do it.
As expected, Xiao Yuanshi felt reassured: “You don’t have to worry about her and me, it has nothing to do with you.”
“With all the trouble today, there will be rumors after you go back.”
“You stay in the General’s Mansion for a while, and then I will send you back after the storm has passed.”
If he told her that he wanted to take her as his concubine, with Liu Ru’s temperament, she would not agree.
So he simply said he would send her out as an excuse.
Tao Liu still knows how to observe men. As soon as she saw Xiao Yuanshi’s appearance, she knew that this was a man who thought twice about what he said, and what he truly meant to say.
With a smile on her face, she said: “Then I’ll disturb you for a few days.”
Then she said considerately: “General, today’s events may have an impact on you. I’m fine now. You can go and deal with the business, and go and coax the Madam.”
Comparing Ge Chunru’s resentment and crying that she didn’t want to see him.
Xiao Yuanshi’s heart couldn’t help but turn towards Liu Ru at this moment: “Okay, then I’ll come see you tomorrow.”
After letting her go back and lie down, he left.
After Xiao Yuanshi left, Tao Liu smiled playfully. She will let Ge Chunru do the rest.
On the other side, Ge Chunru already knew what happened in Tao Liu’s room.
After all, the maid serving in the yard was hers.
After learning about the conversation between the two, Ge Chunru couldn’t hold it back and smashed the things in the room again: “Bitch, this pretentious bitch.”
She didn’t believe what Tao Liu said.
It was obviously for her good, but this bitch deliberately put eye drops on her in front of Xiao Yuanshi.
She didn’t know that Xiao Yuanshi walked into the yard again at that moment.
He happened to hear her smashing things and swearing.
He can’t help but frown deeper. It was obvious that Ge Chunru’s current behavior has somewhat subverted his previous gentle and virtuous appearance.
However, thinking of what he had to do, he bravely entered the room.
Just when Ge Chunru was about to smash a vase, he heard the maid’s voice greeting Xiao Yuanshi and immediately put the vase on the table.
She sat down pretending to be weak.
Mainly because it was too late to go back to bed.
Xiao Yuanshi walked in and pretended not to see the porcelain pieces lying on the floor.
“Chunru, are you feeling better?”
Ge Chunru cried softly and said: “Do you still know how to care about my body?”
These words made Xiao Yuanshi a little unhappy. He went to see Liu Ru, and she seemed more sensible.
“You are my wife, of course, I care about your body.”
He was afraid that Ge Chunru would make trouble again, so he immediately continued: “By the way, I thought of Chunyi’s arrangement.”
Ge Chunru, who was about to coax him, changed the subject: “Where are you going to arrange for him to go?”
She thought Xiao Yuanshi wanted to use his brother’s affairs to compensate for herself.
Xiao Yuan was honest on his face: “I’m going to let Chunyi go to Northern Xinjiang with Dalang and the others.”
When they arrived in northern Xinjiang, he would encourage Xiao Dalang to send him to mine or work with the exiles.
He could then tell the Emperor that he sent his wife’s brother to exile in northern Xinjiang to suffer some hardships, and he would have an explanation.
It can also make the old lady, Xiao Dalang and others feel less ill-willed towards him.
Ge Chunru was stunned: “He can’t join the army anymore, so why should he go to Northern Xinjiang? And he has to be with Xiao Dalang and the others.”
Xiao Yuanshi had already thought of an excuse: “Because he can’t join the army and will be ridiculed or looked down upon by others in the capital, he might as well go to Northern Xinjiang and try his best.”
“I will put him next to Dalang and keep an eye on him. When Dalang makes a mistake, he can take Dalang’s position.”
“He can start as the county magistrate first, then I will find a way to get my colleagues in Northern Xinjiang to help him make some achievements so that he can be promoted.”
“After staying in northern Xinjiang for 2 years, I will find a way to transfer him back to the capital, or send him to a wealthy place to serve as an official.”
Ge Chunru didn’t think much about it and thought that her husband was thinking about his younger brother.
Although she doesn’t want her younger brother to be with Xiao Dalang and others, this is indeed an opportunity.
So she nodded: “Okay.”
She took the opportunity and said: “Then I have to prepare more money and let him take it with him.”
Xiao Yuanshi comforted him and said: “This is natural.”
When Ge Chunyi has a problem, it will be the fault of the Xiao Family and Xiao Dalang. It had nothing to do with him.
He didn’t mind if he was asked to pay more.
Since he would spend money, the guilt in my heart was gone.
