Other families in the capital naturally heard about this.
Their impression of Xiao Yuanshi was greatly reduced again.
General Xiao was too much. Since he broke ties and separated from the family, why bother to come to Xiao Hanzheng’s house to ask him to divorce his wife?
Besides, they don’t think Shi Qinglou was bad.
They used to think that she was a mountain village woman and not worthy of Xiao Hanzheng, who was a scholar and a disciple of Master Hou.
But since the god-given seeds and iron-making method came out, the relationship between Shi Qingluo and Xi Rong was good.
These people also discovered that Shi Qingluo might have a lucky wife.
They heard that she was the one who woke up Xiao Hanzheng with luck before.
Xiao Yuanshi just doesn’t like to see his son prosperous, right?

On the other side, Xiao Yuanshi returned to the general’s mansion with a depressed heart.
As soon as he sat down, Ge Chunru came in with chicken soup.
“General, I made chicken soup. You can have a bowl of it.”
Xiao Yuanshi used to like her making chicken soup, so he drank it and said perfunctorily: “Thank you for your hard work.”
He was tired of drinking chicken soup every day.
He couldn’t help but think of the pigeon soup that Liu Ru stewed for him yesterday. It tasted much better.
Seeing that Ge Chunru was about to speak but hesitated, he asked: “Do you have something to say?”
Ge Chunru then nodded: “My brother and the others are going to Northern Xinjiang tomorrow, so I want the family doctor to go with him.”
When Xiao Yuanshi heard this, he felt a little uncomfortable.
He just came back from being so angry that he vomited blood. When his wife saw that he was unhappy, she didn’t ask or show concern but mentioned her brother as soon as he came.
He couldn’t help but frown, “The family’s doctor is working in the capital. If you ask him to go to Northern Xinjiang, I’m afraid he won’t be willing.”
Ge Chunru was thinking about her younger brother, so she didn’t pay much attention to Xiao Yuanshi’s expression.
“I don’t want him to stay in Northern Xinjiang all the time. I just want him to stay there until my brother’s leg is completely healed before he comes back.”
Her brother’s leg was now scabbed, and he could still walk on the other leg with a cane.
But she was still worried about something going wrong on the road.
Originally, she wanted her brother to go to Northern Xinjiang after the Chinese New Year, but her husband said that he wanted to strike while the iron was hot.
If her brother goes later and waits for Xiao Dalang and others to establish a foothold first, it will be much more difficult to find problems and replace them.
She thought it was right.
Furthermore, when her younger brother went out a few days ago, he was ridiculed by his former classmates.
Her younger brother doesn’t want to stay in the capital anymore.
Xiao Yuanshi shook his head: “The family doctor is not good.”
Just kidding, Ge Chunyi committed a crime and went to Northern Xinjiang to be punished, not to enjoy the blessings.
If he sent the family doctor to follow him, what would the Emperor think if he found out?
Seeing Ge Chunru’s suddenly ugly face, he reassured her: “I’ll find another doctor with good medical skills in the capital to follow him.”
At that time, he said that he was worried that his parents might get sick along the way due to old age, so he found a doctor to follow them.
Not only can he appease Ge Chunru, but people outside will also think that he is filial.
The old man and the old lady will also feel touch.
Ge Chunru didn’t know what he was thinking, so her original unhappiness disappeared immediately.
She took the initiative to lean into Xiao Yuanshi’s arms and said, “The general is truly kind.”
He also reached out and drew circles on Xiao Yuanshi’s chest: “I will repay you.”
In the past, Xiao Yuanshi would have carried her to the study room.
But because of what happened before, he felt depressed and uncomfortable that he had lost interest.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
Xiao Yuanshi was stunned for a moment and said: “Come in!”
Then Liu Ru came in carrying a porcelain jar.
Liu Ru was surprised when she saw the two of them.
She bowed first and said, “I have met the general and madam!”
Then she retreated to advance and said: “It seems that I came at the wrong time and disturbed the general and the madam. I will leave now.”
Ge Chunru said with a cold face: “How outrageous! You, a concubine, actually call yourself ‘I’ in front of the general and me. Do you know any rules?”
Liu Ru’s face turned pale, and the corners of her lips trembled: “I, this concubine.”
“I won’t stand in the way of Madam from now on. I’ll just go back to where I used to live.”
She looked like she couldn’t even call herself a concubine or a slave.
Ge Chunru was angry when she saw her charming look: “Then go back! You even use ‘I’ again.”
Then she told the maid behind him, “Go and teach her how to be a concubine.”
She had wanted to slap this foxy girl for a long time, but she had not found the opportunity before.
Liu Ru bit her lip and shed tears, but she lowered her head, looking resigned to her fate, and did not ask Xiao Yuanshi for help.
When the maid walked up to Liu Ru and raised her hand to fan her down.
Xiao Yuanshi said: “Okay, I asked Ru’er to talk like that.”
He looked at Ge Chunru and said: “She was also a young lady before. If you hadn’t caused such a scene, she would have married someone else and become the official wife.”
“Marrying into the General’s Mansion was not what she wanted. It’s an injustice to her. It’s just a title. There’s no need to care so much.”
Liu Ru raised her head and glanced at Xiao Yuanshi pretending to be complicated. Her tearful eyes and light makeup made her look even more pitiful and charming.
She looked hesitant: “It’s all my fault, General, don’t blame Madam.”
“When the general sends me back, the madam will not be angry again.”
Seeing her like this, Xiao Yuanshi felt a little softer and said: “You are all mine, don’t mention going back again in the future.”
Liu Ru bit her lip and looked at him with moist eyes: “But, I don’t want the general to be in trouble.”
Xiao Yuanshi pretended to be fierce: “I know your thoughts, but you are not allowed to mention them again in the future.”
Liu Ru looked at him with emotion and said: “Yes!”
Ge Chunru watched the two people interact and was furious after hearing their words.
Especially when Xiao Yuanshi shouted “Ru’er”, she was disgusted.
Xiao Yuanshi had never called her that before. He called her “Chunru” and occasionally called her “Madam”.
But he called this coquettish fox “Ru’er”.
This name was also offensive to people. Tao Liu, a little bitch, must have deliberately chosen the name Liu Ru to disgust her.
She didn’t know that Shi Qingluo helped Tao Liu get it on purpose.
Of course, Ge Chunru guessed the purpose correctly, it was to disgust her on purpose.
Ge Chunru’s eyes were red, and she asked Xiao Yuanshi: “General, are you blaming me?”
Xiao Yuanshi sighed: “I don’t blame you, but Ru’er’s matter was indeed caused by you before.”
“I have been working outside all day long, and I hope to see you get along well with each other when I come back, so don’t be angry.”
This matter was all Ge Chunru’s fault.
If she hadn’t ruined Liu Ru’s reputation, his mother wouldn’t have brought someone in to be his concubine.
Ge Chunru: “……”
Tao Liu: “……”
You are blind, how do you think we can live in harmony with each other?
Ge Chunru was very angry, but she was also choked and couldn’t say anything to refute it.
She regretted running to find Tao Liu that day.
Instead, a plan was devised so that this little bitch could enter the general’s mansion and become a concubine.
This feeling of shooting oneself in the foot was too uncomfortable.
At the same time, she also felt a strong resentment against Xiao Yuanshi. After all, even if she was impulsive that day, he could send her away.
Tao Liu wanted to marry into a good family, so he could help arrange the marriage.
She didn’t believe that he didn’t have any thoughts at all when he insisted on letting her in and touching her.
But the blame was put on her head. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, and tears welled up in her eyes.
