Mrs. Kong didn’t know what Xiao Yuanshi was thinking at the moment, otherwise, she would be like an old lady and spit on his face.
“Xiao Yuanshi, what do you want to do by bringing us here?”
Mrs. Kong picked up the golden hairpin in her hand and pointed at him: “You don’t want to kill us to silence us, do you?”
Xiao Yuanshi: “……”
This woman can think of it.
He must be stupid to ask someone to lead them here and take the initiative to show up in person to kill people to silence them.
He looked helpless: “I just suddenly heard that you were also nearby, so I wanted to see you.”
He was in a bad mood these days, and Ge Chunru often came to stop him.
The Emperor only told him to reflect at home but did not confine him to his house.
So he ran to the hot spring manor at home to hide.
During lunch, he heard the personal attendant report that Xiao Hanzheng brought his family to the nearby hot spring manor.
He didn’t care at first, but the more he thought about it, the more he couldn’t swallow the breath of being demoted.
So he wanted to retaliate.
It was naturally unrealistic to directly attack Xiao Hanzheng and Shi Qingluo. The Emperor would not forgive him.
He also remembered that day when Kong Yuelan slapped him in the face, deliberately revealed his and Ge Chunru’s identities, and scolded him.
He felt an indescribable discomfort in his heart.
So he couldn’t help it and came up with a revengeful idea with evil taste.
If Kong Yuelan took the initiative to go to the general’s mansion as a concubine, he could restore the father-son relationship with Xiao Hanzheng.
With this relationship, he could also use filial piety to control the other party.
And didn’t Kong Yuelan beat and scold him? She looked like she disliked him now.
What would others think if he let her come back to him?
They would only say that Kong Yuelan had turned hatred into love before, so she treated him like that.
But now, she has come back to him as a concubine.
Aren’t Xiao Hanzheng and the others happy to be away from him?
When they were forced to come back, he’ll see if they could laugh again.
Therefore, he found a dress of the same color as the one he wore when he first met Kong Yuelan.
He also bribed the servant of Shi Qingluo Hot Spring Villa and brought people here.
He waited here, just wanting Kong Yuelan to fall in love with him again.
He always believed that Kong Yuelan must have him in her heart.
Mrs. Kong no longer loved Xiao Yuanshi, and she almost didn’t even hate him anymore, only disgusted.
Now when she heard him say that, and the other party smiled so gently, her expression was dazed.
It seemed as if she saw the first time she met Xiao Yuanshi, he smiled so gently and elegantly, making her fall in love with him at first sight.
After two more contacts, he didn’t look like a village man at all, but like a handsome scholar.
He was very gentle and considerate to her, and he even carved a wooden hairpin for her.
That’s why she tried her best to persuade her parents to marry him.
But in the end, she got this result.
Mrs. Kong quickly came back to her senses, and did not fall into Xiao Yuanshi’s gentleness, but became more defensive.
She said bluntly: “You have seen us, can you send us away now?”
She didn’t trust Xiao Yuanshi.
This made Xiao Yuanshi stunned and very surprised.
Kong Yuelan was so defensive against him. She used to trust him so much, which made him feel uncomfortable.
So he changed his strategy and looked at Xiao Baili with a bit of love.
“After not seeing you for a while, Baili has grown into a big girl.”
The eldest son was too smart and had a lot of resentment towards him, so it was difficult to repair the father-son relationship.
But he could take action against his daughter and the youngest son and let them recognize him as their biological father.
Ge Chunru couldn’t give birth to a child, and he also attached great importance to legitimate and illegitimate children.
So in his heart, he could let Tao Liu give birth to a child, but he hoped to train a legitimate son to inherit the general’s mansion.
Xiao Hanyi was still young. As long as he was separated from Xiao Hanzheng and his wife and brought around to train, it would be a good choice.
The main point was to maintain a brotherly relationship with Xiao Hanzheng so that Xiao Hanzheng and his wife would stop staring at the general’s mansion.
Killing several birds with one stone.
Xiao Baili didn’t have a very deep impression of her father.
When she was young, her father went out to fight, and when he came back, he was not close to her and her brother.
He also forced her mother to divorce and cut off relations with them.
Her sister-in-law always called her father a scumbag, so she would follow suit.
She would never forget that her scumbag father broke off relations with them for a concubine, the Xiao family drove them to the old house, her eldest brother was unconscious, and she was almost forced to go to the Wu Family to marry and be buried alive. Those were extremely difficult days.
So she was not used to her scumbag father suddenly being so kind.
Under Shi Qingluo’s frequent teachings, Xiao Baili has been able to think independently and was quite vigilant.
She now has only one feeling, that the weasel has no good intentions when paying New Year’s greetings to the chicken.
She held Mrs. Kong’s hand, pursed her lips, and looked at her scumbag father: “We just met a few times in total, you don’t have to act to be so familiar.”
“And we broke off the relationship a long time ago, so whether I grow up or not has anything to do with you.”
Xiao Yuanshi: “……”
Where did his weak and docile daughter go?
Whether it was Kong Yuelan or Xiao Baili, they were very different from what he remembered.
They must have been led astray by that bad daughter-in-law, otherwise, how could this happen?
He suppressed his displeasure and still had a gentle and loving smile: “I did something wrong in the past.”
“I proposed to break off the relationship at the beginning because I was angry that your eldest brother didn’t go back to the capital with me, so I just mentioned it casually.”
“Who would have thought that he agreed.”
“So although I broke off the relationship with you, in my heart, you will always be my biological children.”
He said with guilt: “I have thought a lot during this period, and the more I think about it, the more I feel sorry for you brothers and sisters, so I just want to make up for it now.”
Mrs. Kong didn’t expect Xiao Yuanshi would take the initiative to lower himself and say such words.
The main point was that he wanted to snatch her children.
“Bullshit compensation, you don’t have any good intentions.”
“Xiao Yuanshi, don’t be shameless if you dare to snatch my child, I will fight you.”
She glared at him: “I will go to the government office to sue you.”
Xiao Yuanshi looked at his ex-wife who was becoming more and more unreserved and would glare and curse, and was a little surprised that he didn’t hate her.
“I don’t want to snatch the child from you, I just think I was wrong before and want to make it up to them.”
He looked helpless again: “Don’t get me wrong.”
Xiao Baili held Mrs. Kong and raised an eyebrow at Xiao Yuanshi: “Do you want to compensate us, brothers and sisters?”
Xiao Yuanshi was happy when he saw her look, there was a chance.
He knew that children would expect their biological father to care and love them.
He nodded and said: “Of course.”
He didn’t ask his daughter to live in the general’s mansion as soon as he arrived, which seemed too purposeful.
And Xiao Hanzheng wouldn’t agree.
So he wanted to boil the frog in warm water, step by step, to make Kong Yuelan and her daughter repair their relationship with him, and then propose to take them home to live.
Xiao Baili hooked her lips: “Okay, then you can take a few tens of thousands of taels of silver as compensation and spend it on us.”
As long as the scumbag father dares to give it, she dares to take it.
