Xiao Yuanshi was brought here by the servant.

He saw Prince Yi as soon as he entered the door. He was stunned for a moment, obviously very surprised.

Then he bowed first: “Greetings, Your Majesty!”

Liang Yulin didn’t say anything to stop Xiao Yuanshi from bowing.

After the other party bowed, he said lightly: “General Xiao.”

Xiao Hanzheng said: “General Xiao, is there anything?”

Xiao Yuanshi regretted coming here, mainly because he did not expect Prince Yi to be here.

His son was getting more and more difficult for him to understand. Not only does he know Prince Yi, but he can even sit together for dinner.

This shows that they have a close relationship.

His mind can’t help but become more active.

He smiled and replied: “I promised Baili today that I would give her the nearby hot spring villa.”

“I just sent it here after the transfer.”

How could Xiao Hanzheng not hear that the scumbag father said this deliberately for Prince Yi to hear?

People who don’t know would think that the scumbag father loves his daughter very much.

He curled his lips and smiled: “I heard that the manor you gave to your sister-in-law as a dowry is also nearby. General Xiao knows how to choose a place.”

This large area was full of hot spring manors, and the price was also the most expensive near the capital’s suburbs.

Xiao Yuanshi smiled awkwardly: “That was not arranged by me.”

Shi Qingluo raised an eyebrow: “Former father-in-law, although that was not arranged by you, it was arranged by your current wife. Could it be that you are no longer a family?”

“You change your heart so quickly!”

She laughed and said: “I heard that there is a concubine in the general’s mansion who has been favored by you and has to manage the house. Will there be good news in a while? Will she become the general’s new wife?”

“It’s not without precedent. After all, General Xiao, you are a well-known official who likes to turn concubines into main wives.”

Xiao Yuanshi: “……”

This dead girl was too good at squeezing people, and his eldest son was not a good thing either.

Liang Yulin, who was sitting on the side, was not bothered by the excitement and chuckled, then said: “Should we congratulate General Xiao in advance?”

“When you change your wife and hold a banquet, I will send you a gift.”

Shi Qingluo, this young lady, was excellent at talking.

He doesn’t mind adding fuel to the fire and making the show more lively.

Xiao Yuanshi: “……”

What is this sick prince doing here, adding trouble?

“Your Highness has misunderstood. I won’t do that.”

He has done it once before. If he does it again, who knows how many people will laugh at him?

What’s more, he only likes Liu Ru, a woman who can speak eloquently. How can she be his wife?

Mrs. Kong sneered: “It’s not like you haven’t done it before.”

“Why are you pretending to be so powerful now?”

She has the most say in this matter.

Xiao Yuanshi choked: “……”

This woman’s mouth is getting more and more hateful.

His eyes flickered, and he sighed with a guilty look: “I know I did something wrong to you before, so I’m here to make up for it.”

Prince Yi must have known about the matter of the General’s Mansion. His explanation or denial would be even more disgusting. It would be better for him to pretend to regret and feel guilty.

Knowing one’s mistakes can improve one’s life.

Shi Qingluo raised an eyebrow: “Just compensate one manor?”

“The only person you feel guilty about is Baili?”

“Shouldn’t you also compensate my mother-in-law and brother-in-law?”

Xiao Yuanshi was afraid of meeting this bad daughter-in-law.

Now that he was asked to compensate in front of Prince Yi if he refused, he would be slapping himself in the face.

He smiled: “This is what I should do.”

Then he changed the subject and asked: “Do you want me to compensate you too?”

As long as this bad daughter-in-law said yes, it would mean that she was greedy for his family’s wealth, so let the prince see it.

Shi Qingluo didn’t see the scumbag father’s mind.

However, she waved her hand and said with some disdain: “We don’t need it, husband and wife. After all, my husband is more talented than you and can pass the imperial examination to become an official. He doesn’t need your help to arrange it.”

“I can get a lot of dividends every month, and I am not short of money. I don’t care about the little money you want to compensate.”

Xiao Yuanshi: “……”

This was deliberately belittling him and showing off themselves. It was so hateful.

He doesn’t want to talk to this bad daughter-in-law.

Because he knows that he can’t win the argument at all, and the most important thing is that if he is not careful, he may fall into the trap of her words.

For example, she just asked him to compensate Mrs. Kong and his youngest son.

So he looked at Mrs. Kong and asked: “Yuelan, I didn’t know the truth about the previous matter and misunderstood you, which made you feel wronged.”

“What do you want? As long as I can do it, I will do my best to compensate you.”

In his heart, although Kong Yuelan was taught by Shi Qingluo to be a little bit vicious and fierce, she was still a kind and virtuous ex-wife.

He took the initiative to offer compensation, and she would most likely not take it.

Even if she wanted it, she wouldn’t ask for too much.

If it was before, Mrs. Kong would be a little confused.

After all, she had never experienced this and had no experience in dealing with it.

But today, when her daughter-in-law was teaching her children, she listened a lot.

So she thought about it and said: “Okay since you want compensation if I stop you, it may become my fault again.”

“It will also make you sleepless and uneasy when you go back.”

“The official road from the capital to this village is not easy to walk. I see that many villagers nearby have grown vegetables and carried them to the capital to sell. The road is full of potholes and mud, and it is difficult to walk.”

“Why don’t you build a cement road from the capital in the name of compensating me.”

On the surface, it was Xiao Yuanshi who spent money to build the road.

Once he agrees, she would let her son send someone to the capital to pass it on, saying that this road was built by Xiao Yuanshi because of guilt and to compensate her.

This dead scumbag spent money, and people will not remember the good of him spending money to build the road.

Because the road was not built for the people, he felt guilty for doing something wrong and wanted to compensate his ex-wife.

In the words of the daughter-in-law, she was spreading rumors in private, saying that he had done too many bad things to his ex-wife and children, and he would have nightmares at night.

So he needed compensation to feel at ease.

Behind the scenes, everyone must despise this dead scumbag.

In the end, it seemed that Xiao Yuanshi spent money to gain fame and fortune, but it did not, and he became a joke in the capital.

The main point was that there was a pit ahead, and the dead scumbag has to pinch his nose to admit it for the sake of his face.

Prince Yi was a good person.

If he was not here today, and she made such a request to the dead scumbag. With his character, he would probably refuse or drag it out.

So she glanced at Prince Yi with bright eyes and gave him a good person card.

Prince Yi was a martial artist with sharp senses.

Naturally, he noticed Mrs. Kong’s eyes. Seeing her bright eyes, how could he not guess what she was thinking?

He was quite surprised. He didn’t expect Mrs. Kong to make such a request.

On second thought, this was just a trap set for Xiao Yuanshi, which was a waste of money and effort.

As the compensation recipient, Mrs. Kong would not forgive him for this, and those who benefited from the road construction would not appreciate his kindness.

After all, he nominally built the road to compensate Mrs. Kong for his guilt, not for everyone.

If anyone wants to thank someone, they should thank Mrs. Kong.

This woman was fascinating.
