Ge Chunru was unhappy that Xiao Yuanshi wanted to take Tao Liu as a concubine.

She fussed in the yard and pretended to be sick to ask Xiao Yuanshi to come over.

Xiao Yuanshi couldn’t help but feel distressed when he looked at his beloved wife’s pale face and haggard appearance.

He stood up and walked over to hug the other party, preparing to comfort her and thinking about how to make up for it, but Old Lady Xiao suddenly came with her two daughters-in-law.

Xiao Yuanshi immediately let go of Ge Chunru and sat back down.

Ge Chunru: “……”

This dead old woman must have come to cause trouble to her again.

As soon as Old Lady Xiao entered the door, she looked directly at Ge Chunru: “Tsk, tsk, look at how white her face is, are you sick?”

Mrs. Wu covered her smile with a handkerchief: “Mom, her face is so pale, maybe due to too much powder.”

Just as Ge Chunru was about to speak, Old Lady Xiao suddenly walked up to her, stretched out her hand, and wiped Ge Chunru’s face vigorously.

Then she spread out her hand, and there was indeed a layer of powder on it: “Oh, there’s too much powder on it.”

Ge Chunru stiffened and couldn’t help but look at Xiao Yuanshi.

Sure enough, seeing his face turn black, she wanted to tear the old lady and Mrs. Wu to pieces.

She explained: “Because I was sick and looked bad, I put on some powder.”

Old Lady Xiao sneered, “Bah, you think I’m a fool.”

“You look bad, so you put powder? What kind of powder should you put on when you’re sick?”

She turned to Xiao Yuanshi and applied eye drops: “Second Son, she is treating you like a fool.”

Yesterday, she asked Xiao Dalang to secretly find Shi Qingluo, so she got some ways to deal with Little Hoof.

It was indeed as Shi Qingluo said. This little hoof would probably pretend to be sick to deceive her son.

If Shi Qingluo hadn’t reminded them, they really wouldn’t have known that people could have pale faces by using powder as a disguise.

Ge Chunru was about to cry and hurriedly explained: “No, I didn’t.”

Xiao Yuanshi couldn’t help but become irritable again. He glanced at Ge Chunru, looked at the old lady, and asked: “Mom, are you here for something?”

He also didn’t expect that Ge Chunru would put on powder to lie to him and pretend to be sick.

This made him very unhappy. She became more and more outrageous.

Old Lady Xiao sat down and said, “I just came over to talk to you.”

“I asked your brothers and nephews to find their friends and send letters respectively.”

She looked at the two of them meaningfully: “If we encounter robbers or bandits on our way to Northern Xinjiang, it will be a good thing you two did.”

“We ask them for help and send the letter to the Yamen and the Xi Family.”

“I believe Xi Rui will be happy to help us check.”

These words shocked both Xiao Yuanshi and Ge Chunru.

When did the old lady become so smart?

No, it must have been the doing of his bad daughter-in-law again.

Xiao Yuanshi’s stone had a hint of disappointment: “Mom, you and my father are both going to Northern Xinjiang. How could I do such a thing?”

He wasn’t prepared to do it.

Although he felt in pain because the Xiao Family wanted to take away so much money, he never thought about letting others rob them midway.

Rather, he thought about waiting for them to arrive in northern Xinjiang, and then find someone to lure them to take back the money.

This way there will be no excuses or doubts.

Old Lady Xiao raised her eyelids and said: “You can’t do such a thing, but some people might be able to.”

She looked at Ge Chunru and said: “Don’t you think so, my second daughter-in-law.”

Ge Chunru clenched her hands under the quilt into fists, resisting the urge to pounce on the old woman and bite her to death: “I don’t know what mother means. Naturally, I won’t do that.”

This was of course a lie.

She was ready to hire assassins and then robbed the old lady and others on the way, cutting their hands or feet at the same time.

Who would have thought that this old lady had a backup plan?

They came here on purpose to tell them today, isn’t it just a warning?

In this case, she didn’t dare to let anyone take action.

After all, the old lady and the others have no shame. If something happens, they will sue them.

Xi Rui was very hostile to the General’s Mansion and her brother. He was also on good terms with that little bitch Shi Qingluo. It would be strange if the other party refused to accept such a good opportunity.

Old Lady Xiao’s heart skipped a beat when she saw Ge Chunru’s forbearing look.

It seems like what Shi Qingluo said, this woman wants to harm them.

Fortunately, they listened to Shi Qingluo and made arrangements, otherwise, it would have been a disaster.

The hatred in the old lady’s heart deepened.

She also heard that her son asked them to take Ge Chunyi with them to Northern Xinjiang, and she planned to deal with her little brother after going to Northern Xinjiang.

Then she deliberately said to Xiao Yuanshi: “Today is a good day for you and Liu Ru, why are you still sitting here?”

“I, your mother, risked my life yesterday to get Liu Ru to agree to give birth to your child.”

She raised her eyebrows, “Aren’t you going to get ready?”

Xiao Yuanshi wanted to leave for a long time. He was particularly tired of being in between his wife and mother when they fought.

However, he still glanced at Ge Chunru with embarrassment.

It was also this look that made the old lady go crazy.

She slapped the table hard: “Why are you looking at her? Is she your mother, or am I your mother?”

“No wonder the outside world says you are henpecked, despite your achievements.”

These words successfully made Xiao Yuanshi’s face darken again: “……”

All kinds of rumors about him were spread by people outside, and his mother played a major role in it, but she had the nerve to say such things.

Old Lady Xiao stretched out her hand to push Xiao Yuanshi: “Go quickly, don’t stay here.”

Xiao Yuanshi stood up helplessly and said, “Okay.”

Then he went to help the old lady in person and said: “Mom, let me take you back to the yard.”

If he is left alone, he doesn’t know how his mother would bully his wife.

That’s what he thought, but in Ge Chunru’s heart, he felt that Xiao Yuanshi, the bastard, couldn’t wait to go to Tao Liu.

So she cried and said: “Go, you go, if you go, don’t come back again.”

Before Ge Chunru’s biological father died, she met Xiao Yuanshi and fell in love with this man.

So she often approached him, while Xiao Yuanshi always doted on her.

Especially after the two fell in love, Ge Chunru was pampered by Xiao Yuanshi.

That’s when she became willful, thinking that he would come to coax her as usual, and then stay here with her tonight instead of going to find that bitch.

Seeing her like this, Old Lady Xiao sneered: “You are the general’s wife, but you are so arrogant, even worse than us village women.”

“You forced my son to sever ties with his biological children. But now that you can’t give birth to children, you still stop my son?”

“You are so selfish and vicious.”

“Liu Ru is much more sensible than you.”

Xiao Yuanshi, who had always wanted to coax Ge Chunru, couldn’t help but feel a little uncomfortable when he heard this.

She has forced him to break ties with his children, and now she doesn’t want him to have another child.

In comparison, Liu Ru was indeed more sensible.

Her mother was forcing her to become his concubine at all costs. If he didn’t go to her place today, how would the people in the General’s Mansion treat her in the future?

What if she can’t take it and commit suicide?

Then he looked at Ge Chunru and said: “I’ll take my mother back to the yard first, and I’ll see you later.”

Then he supported the old lady and left.

Leaving Ge Chunru with tears streaming down her face.

But she believed that Xiao Yuanshi loved her, so he would come back later.

Then she will try her best to keep him and not go to that bitch.

Who knew that she wouldn’t see even Xiao Yuanshi’s shadow until evening?

Then she asked someone to inquire, and the maid said that the general was forced to go to Liu Ru’s yard by the old lady.

Ge Chunru couldn’t help crying again, but she still held on to a glimmer of hope.

Not because he entered the yard doesn’t mean he would touch that bitch.

As time passed, she sat on the bed and stared at the candle not far away in a daze.

Until almost midnight, the maid bravely came to report: “Madam, there is news over there that the general has ordered water.”

She was called twice, but she didn’t dare to say more.

Hearing this, Ge Chunru’s hope was shattered. She couldn’t help but spit out a mouthful of blood and fainted.
