Tao Liu’s biggest rival was Ge Chunru now.
As long as she could make the other party lose face and gradually lose Xiao Yuanshi’s favor, she was willing to do it.
Besides, she was originally brought to the General’s Mansion by Xiao Hanzheng and his wife, so naturally, she has to stand with Xiao Baili and the others.
At least she has to support the two of them in private, otherwise, if Xiao Hanzheng finds out, she will be in trouble.
That man looked gentle and kind but was very cruel in private.
What’s more, she still has the poison he put on her body, so how dare she go against him?
And now she can see that Xiao Yuanshi was no match for Xiao Hanzheng and his wife.
Throwing those two little devils into the General’s Mansion was enough for Xiao Yuanshi and Ge Chunru to vomit blood.
So she will never be stupid enough to go against Xiao Hanzheng.
Sure enough, her tricky words made Xiao Yuanshi’s face darken.
He said to Ge Chunru: “If your brother and sister can live here, then naturally they can live here too.”
“They will only stay for a few days, so just bear with it.”
“I still have official business to do, so I’ll go to the study first.”
He walked away after he finished speaking, not wanting to see Ge Chunru.
He doted on his wife, so why did he become henpecked when he was outside?
But thinking of what Xiao Baili and Liu Ru had just said, and what the old lady had said, Ge Chunru had indeed gone too far.
He had indulged her too much before, making her so inappropriate.
Not only did she squander so much money from the general’s mansion to subsidize her natal family, but she also made him a joke.
He was very irritable at this moment, and he had no intention of coaxing his little wife.
Xiao Yuanshi left quickly, leaving Ge Chunru stunned on the spot.
She was not stupid, of course, she knew that Xiao Yuanshi had listened to the words of these little bitches and was angry with her.
How could he treat her like this?
Didn’t he promise to love and spoil her for the rest of his life? Now he turned his face away?
And what’s wrong with her giving her younger brother and sister some money and things?
She can’t have children in the future, so of course she and her husband will rely on her younger brother and sister.
Especially her younger brother. If she treats him well now, he will take care of her in the future.
Or if it doesn’t work, she can adopt a child from her younger brother’s family to raise him and take care of them in their old age.
Does Xiao Yuanshi still want to rely on his children, who are full of bad intentions?
And Tao Liu, this bitch, actually plays a trick in front of her.
Ge Chunru suddenly turned around and slapped Tao Liu with a wave of her hand.
She also vented the anger she had suffered from Xiao Baili before.
She looked at Tao Liu angrily and cursed: “You bitch, do you have the right to interrupt me when I’m talking to the general?”
Tao Liu covered her face. Xiao Yuanshi was not here at the moment, so she did not pretend to be weak.
“Madam, I just don’t want the general’s reputation to be damaged.”
“If you are unhappy, you can continue to beat and scold me. As long as you care more about the general and think more about his reputation, it will be fine.”
She suddenly knelt to Ge Chunru: “Madam, please, don’t hurt your relationship with the general for the sake of your family.”
“The general is so good to you, you can’t take advantage of your favor and ruin his reputation.”
Tao Liu knew that the entire general’s mansion was under the control of Xiao Yuanshi.
What she said now would soon reach Xiao Yuanshi’s ears.
She lowered her head and covered her face. As for being beaten by Ge Chunru, she would be able to retaliate sooner or later.
Ge Chunru was so angry at Tao Liu’s words that she fell backward: “Bitch, you are the only good person.”
“You dare to talk back to me, come and slap me in the face.”
She glared at Tao Liu again: “After you are slapped in the face, you must kneel in this yard until dark before you can get up.”
After that, she ordered the maid to slap Tao Liu in the face thirty times.
Tao Liu did not resist but kept saying that as long as Ge Chunru treated the general well, she would be fine no matter how many grievances she suffered.
Tao Liu fainted during the beating.
Seeing this, Ge Chunru thought Tao Liu was pretending.
She asked the maid to grab Tao Liu’s hair, and she walked over and slapped her twice in the face: “Don’t pretend to faint in front of me.”
Tao Liu did not react much after being beaten.
Suddenly, Xiao Yuanshi’s voice rang out: “What are you doing?”
Ge Chunru was startled and turned around to see Xiao Yuanshi leaving and returning.
She immediately said: “General, she disrespected me and contradicted me, so I asked someone to teach her the rules.”
Xiao Yuanshi looked at her with disappointment: “Chunru, you have been getting more and more outrageous recently.”
“Go back to the yard and reflect on yourself.”
He walked over and picked up Tao Liu, whose face was red and swollen, and had fainted.
“She was just doing it for my good, why are you making it so difficult for me?”
He had heard the conversation between the two from the secret guard.
After listening to it, he felt that Liu Ruo was indeed a woman of eloquence and cared about him wholeheartedly, which was very good.
He was also more disappointed with Ge Chunru. A concubine who had been with him for a short time knew how to care about him and was concerned about his reputation.
But Ge Chunru, his wife, not only didn’t think about him but also kept making trouble.
Ge Chunru was so angry that she trembled when she saw Xiao Yuanshi holding Tao Liu and blaming her: “Xiao Yuanshi, you treated me like this for a lowly concubine.”
Recently, Xiao Yuanshi’s attitude towards her was not as good as before, and he would avoid her, which made her a little unacceptable.
So she blamed Tao Liu for everything, and it was all the work of this bitch.
Before going to the northern border, she would deal with this bitch.
Xiao Yuanshi sighed: “Chunru, you are my wife, why are you angry with a concubine.”
“Go back to the yard and think about it carefully.”
He then carried the person to find the palace doctor.
Ge Chunru stamped her feet in anger behind.
After going to the imperial doctor, Xiao Yuanshi asked the other party to take a good look at Liu Ru.
The court doctor felt the pulse first, and after a moment, he said: “Congratulations, General, Concubine Ru is pregnant.”
Xiao Yuanshi was stunned: “You mean Liu Ru is pregnant?”
The imperial doctor nodded: “Yes, it’s been more than a month.”
“Don’t let her get tired or angry recently, otherwise she will easily have a miscarriage.”
“Injuries like hers today will also affect the fetus.”
Xiao Yuanshi smiled and nodded: “Okay, I will arrange for her to rest well.”
He was happy and looking forward to having a child suddenly.
Tao Liu also woke up at this time, she touched her belly: “General, I just heard vaguely that the imperial doctor said I was pregnant?”
Xiao Hanzheng’s medical skills are amazing. After taking the medicine he prescribed, she got pregnant.
Xiao Yuanshi walked over and hugged her: “Yes, we are going to have a baby.”
Liu Ru was excited, tears welled up in her eyes: “Great, I have the general’s child.”
“General, can I not see the madam recently? I don’t care how she treats me, but I don’t want to lose this child.”
She put on eye drops again: “She must not know that I am pregnant, so she made me kneel in the yard before, general, don’t blame her.”
“Don’t make her angry again, it’s all my fault.”
Xiao Yuanshi was even more displeased when he heard it. What did he mean by not making Ge Chunru angry?
Why does everyone think he was so afraid of Ge Chunru?
He couldn’t help but think, could it be that Ge Chunru already knew that Liu Ru was pregnant, so she deliberately let someone slap her in the face and make her kneel?
Otherwise, Tao Liu has been in the mansion for so long, and she has never seen Ge Chunru have such an outburst.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. Ge Chunru wanted to abuse the child and cause miscarriage, and she didn’t allow others to give birth to him.
Is this to cut off his roots?
“Don’t worry, you won’t see her again recently.”
He decided to confine Ge Chunru to her house, firstly to let Liu Ru have a stable pregnancy, and secondly to prevent Ge Chunru from meeting Xiao Baili and her brother again and causing trouble.
Thinking about it, he suddenly realized that Ge Chunru, his wife, seemed to make the general’s mansion restless as soon as she appeared. It was like this with the old lady and others before, and also just now……
