Xiao Yuanshi returned to the general’s mansion and stayed in the study until the afternoon, then went to Ge Chunru’s yard to have dinner together.
Because of Tao Liu’s presence and Ge Chunyi’s advice, Ge Chunru was more gentle to Xiao Yuanshi.
She looked at Xiao Yuanshi with love: “General, today’s dishes are made by me for you, please try them.”
She reached out to pour wine for him again.
She deliberately splashed the back of her hand with oil and let him see it.
But Xiao Yuanshi was a straight man, and his mind was not on coaxing women at this time, so he didn’t pay attention.
It made Ge Chunru feel a little uncomfortable.
Xiao Yuanshi tasted it and found that his wife’s cooking skills were far worse than Tao Liu’s.
He thought to himself. She looked so bad, but she insisted on making it herself. Isn’t this making him suffer?
Ge Chunru didn’t know what he was thinking, otherwise she would be angry.
Xiao Yuanshi ate a few bites casually, then pulled Ge Chunru into his arms: “Not bad, Chunru, you are thoughtful.”
Ge Chunru was held in his arms, and then she smiled: “I am your wife, it is my duty to take care of you.”
So what about Tao Liu?
Xiao Yuanshi didn’t want to force himself, so he pulled Ge Chunru to talk and stopped eating.
Soon they talked about the problem mentioned by the second prince.
Ge Chunru felt so sour in her heart.
Shi Qingluo worshiped a good master at the beginning, and now even the second prince was eager to win her over.
She thought for a while and asked: “Why don’t we start with Baili?”
Xiao Hanyi was too young.
Xiao Yuanshi asked: “How to start?”
He emphasized: “No matter what, Baili is my biological daughter. I hope that through her, I can help the second prince win over Zheng’er and his wife, so I can’t do anything to hurt her.”
“Chuyi will soon enter the second prince’s mansion. If I can help her with this matter, it will be a help to her.”
Ge Chunru disliked Xiao Baili, and it was good enough that she didn’t take the initiative to deal with her.
But after hearing Xiao Yuanshi’s last words, she was thoughtful.
“I am your wife, Baili is your daughter, and I will naturally treat her as my daughter. I will not hurt her.”
Then she came up with an idea and whispered it into Xiao Yuanshi’s ear.
Xiao Yuanshi considered it: “This is a good idea.”
Ge Chunru smiled and poked his chest: “If you and the second prince are assured, let me do it.”
If it was done, the second prince would value her sister more.
What Xiao Yuanshi wanted was for her to speak up: “Of course, I trust you, and there won’t be any problem with the Second Prince.”
“Just do it with confidence.”
He emphasized again: “Don’t do anything that would harm their siblings.”
What his wife said sounded nice, but in fact, he knew that she didn’t like her children, which was why he had to divorce his wife.
This time, he wanted to win over his eldest son and his wife, so naturally he couldn’t let Ge Chunru do anything that would harm their children.
As for why he asked Ge Chunru to do this.
It was to have a reason to explain to the Second Prince whether it became successful or not.
If it was successful, the Second Prince would remember his favor.
If not, it was because his wife was incompetent.
And if anything was done that would make his eldest son and his wife unhappy, it was his wife who did it, and it had nothing to do with him.
Anyway, his wife and the eldest son’s family had a deep grudge, so it didn’t matter if it was more or less.
It must be said that Xiao Yuanshi was shrewd and calculated every step he took, taking into account the consequences.
Ge Chunru thought her husband trusted her and was also doing it to help her sister, so she hugged him and said: “Don’t worry.”
Her sister, Xiao Baili got the advantage this time.
However, as long as her plan succeeds, it looks good now, but Xiao Baili may not live well in the future.
She said: “General, my sister will go to the Second Prince’s Mansion soon. To let her gain a foothold, I prepared more dowry for her.”
Xiao Yuanshi smiled: “As long as you are happy.”
He had seen the dowry list for what Ge Chunru had prepared.
Although he was unhappy, he endured it because of the Second Prince.
Ge Chunru took the opportunity to ask: “Can I give her the hot spring manor in the suburbs of Beijing as a dowry?”
Since Shi Qingluo asked the Emperor for a hot spring manor, and Xi Rui and several other playboys were also asking about buying hot spring manors, the prices of such manors in the capital have been rising again recently.
The Emperor gave Shi Qingluo a hot spring manor, so she wanted to give her sister one too.
When Xiao Yuanshi heard this, he couldn’t help but feel a little uncomfortable.
The old lady’s words rang in his mind: Your wife wants to turn the general’s mansion into hers, and she will only be happy if she gives all the subsidies to her siblings.
He frowned and said: “Hasn’t she already given a manor in the suburbs of the capital as a dowry? Why do you want more?”
Now the price of hot spring manors was high and still rising. He was stupid to give it to his sister-in-law as a dowry.
And she was just a sister-in-law, not his daughter, and he already gave so much subsidy.
This made him feel dissatisfied with his wife Ge Chunru again.
Ge Chunru was not happy either. What’s wrong with giving her sister an extra hot spring manor?
She said: “I also want Chunyi to have a face when she goes to the Second Prince’s Mansion, and I can also let the Second Prince go to the manor with her to soak in the hot springs to enhance their relationship.”
This time, Xiao Yuanshi did not indulge her again: “I still have use for that hot spring manor, so forget it.”
He couldn’t help knocking: “Chunru, our family’s foundation is not deep. We gave your brother so much money and bought so much dowry for your sister. There is not much left in the family.”
“My eldest son got married, but I didn’t give anything.”
“As a brother-in-law, I am very caring to your brother and sister.”
He said meaningfully: “I hope you can also consider our family more.”
Ge Chunru felt even more unhappy.
There was no one else in the family. What’s wrong with giving her brother and sister more?
Could it be that Xiao Yuanshi wanted to use it to compensate Xiao Hanzheng and his sister?
Dream on, she would not allow it.
Besides, whether she could have children in the future was a problem, her younger brothers and sisters were her biggest support, and she did not want to let other little bitches have children for free.
However, seeing Xiao Yuanshi’s displeasure, and thinking that after buying her sister’s dowry, the money in the general’s mansion had indeed shrunk a lot.
She didn’t dare to step on Xiao Yuanshi’s bottom line: “Okay, then, the hot spring manor will not be a dowry.”
But her attitude towards Xiao Yuanshi was also much colder: “General, will you stay here at night?”
In the past, whenever she did this, Xiao Yuanshi would take the initiative to coax her and then stay in her yard.
When Xiao Yuanshi saw her being temperamental, he used to find it interesting and was happy to coax her.
But now, compared with Liu Ru’s gentleness and innocence, he felt that his wife was becoming more and more willful.
After all, she had given away so much money and things, and he hadn’t gotten angry yet, but she turned her face away first.
He let go of Ge Chunru and stood up: “I still have official business, I have to go to the study to deal with it now, so I won’t rest here.”
Then he left without waiting for her to say anything else.
Ge Chunru was dumbfounded, this bastard just left without coaxing her.
She couldn’t help but overturn all the dishes on the table.
Especially soon after, when she heard the maid say that Xiao Yuanshi didn’t go to the study at all, but went to Tao Liu’s yard, she couldn’t help but fall on the bed and cry.
She hated it so much in her heart and decided to do what Xiao Yuanshi said before so that the second prince would pay more attention to her sister.
Wait until her sister has a foothold in the second prince’s mansion, and see how she will deal with Tao Liu, the bitch.
