Soon, the news that Xiao Hanzheng was the first place spread in the capital.
The Xi Family, the Liang Family, and the Fei Family were all happy, after all, their children were good friends with Xiao Hanzheng.
Xiao Yuanshi also heard the personal attendant report this matter.
He couldn’t help but think back to the past.
Remembering that Xiao Hanzheng was still a little boy, he had hoped that his son would be able to pass the imperial examination and become an official in the future, changing the fate of the family.
So when his son was young, he tried his best to send him to school.
Because of the subsidy from his father-in-law, his family didn’t object.
It was just that later he had the opportunity to stand out, so he put that expectation on himself.
He knew that Xiao Hanzheng was very good at studying, and there was still hope for him to pass the imperial examination.
But he never expected that Xiao Hanzheng would directly become the first.
He even had the opportunity to be in the top three.
This made him feel very uncomfortable.
Before, he had thought about bringing Xiao Hanyi back to the general’s mansion and training him well.
But after experiencing the previous pitfalls, he no longer had hope for him.
He saw that he was also a child who could not be tamed and had been led astray by his eldest son and Shi Qingluo.
So he could only pin his hopes on the child in Liu Ru’s belly.
If this baby was a son, he would take him and train him well.
In Ge Chunru’s yard, she heard that Xiao Hanzheng had passed the imperial examination.
She couldn’t help but smash all the porcelain in the room.
Her brother was sent to the border to mine, but that little bastard was so glorious, she was unwilling to accept it!
Because she was confined by Xiao Yuanshi, she had also cut off the contact with Zheng Tongfeng.
Otherwise, she had to deal with Xiao Baili, that little bitch. A sister who had lost her virginity was enough to make Xiao Hanzheng have a stain on him.
The more she thought about it, the more uncomfortable and unwilling she felt. She wrote a letter and gave it to her maid.
“Send this letter to my sister at the Second Prince’s Mansion.”
The people Xiao Yuanshi sent to the Northern Frontier had not returned yet, and she had already thought of going there in advance.
But Xiao Yuanshi said that she was in poor health and was worried about going alone.
He promised her that he would go to the Emperor to ask if she could go to the Northern Frontier in advance.
But now it has been so long and there is still no news, she can’t wait any longer.
She was afraid that something would happen to her brother, and she didn’t want Xiao Hanzheng to stand out, so she wrote a letter to her sister to see if she could come out and meet her.
That day, Ge Chuyi received a letter from Ge Chunru.
Seeing that her second brother was forced to go mining by Xiao Dalang, her face changed.
She had a layer of hatred for the people of the old Xiao Family in her heart.
She also secretly cursed her second brother for being useless. He brought so many people and so much money but was still robbed and bullied by the people of the old Xiao family.
She didn’t know how her brother-in-law taught him.
At the same time, she had more complaints about her brother-in-law, Xiao Yuanshi. Her brother-in-law didn’t care about her second brother now. How could he let his family bully him?
She was just a concubine in the prince’s mansion. She couldn’t go out alone. She had to ask the second prince’s consort for permission.
But recently, she was favored by the second prince, and the second prince’s consort didn’t like her very much.
It was very likely that she would be controlled.
So she went to the kitchen to have someone stew soup, and she took it to the main courtyard.
The second prince was talking to the fifth prince in the study at this time.
The fifth prince had proposed to go to Jiangnan before but was rejected by the Emperor.
Just after the two finished talking about what to do in the court, they heard someone report that Concubine Ge came to deliver soup.
Liang Hengyu chuckled and said: “Second brother, you are so lucky. During the day, some concubines bring you soup to the study room.”
Liang Hengshao’s face darkened: “This woman is getting more and more unruly.”
He has been ‘favoring’ Ge Chuyi recently. Did he give her the illusion that she could come to the study to disturb his work?
Liang Hengyu wanted to watch the show: “Then let her in and see what she is going to do.”
Liang Hengshao also thought that Ge Chuyi must have something to do when she brought soup during the day, so he ordered her to come in.
When Ge Chuyi heard the second prince let her in, she showed joy in her eyes. As expected, she treated the second prince differently. Another concubine and two other concubines had also come to the study to bring soup before, but the second prince did not see them.
After entering the study, Ge Chuyi saw the fifth prince was also there, and she felt a little unhappy. However, she didn’t show it on her face, and saluted to the two of them: “Greetings, Your Highness, the Fifth Prince!”
Liang Hengshao looked at Ge Chuyi ‘gently’: “Is there something?”
Ge Chuyi smiled and took the tray from the maid: “I made soup for Your Highness, and thought of sending it to you to try.”
Liang Hengshao had no interest in the soup she made: “Put it on the table, I’ll drink it later.”
Ge Chuyi didn’t ask him to drink it now, so she walked over and put down the soup.
Another look of wanting to say something but stopping.
Liang Hengshao asked with a smile: “Is there anything else? Or did someone in the mansion bully you?”
His face was saying, ‘If you tell me, I will help you vent your anger’.
Ge Chuyi felt sweet in her heart, smiled, and shook her head: “The sisters in the backyard are very good, no one bullies me.”
Because she has been too favored recently, she was often ridiculed or secretly made small moves by the women in the backyard.
But she would not be stupid enough to go to the second prince to complain.
Her eyes turned red: “Yes, today I received a letter from my sister.”
Seeing her appearance, Liang Hengyu asked: “Is your sister dying?”
Ge Chunyi: “……”
You are dying, this fifth prince is annoying.
“No, the fifth prince misunderstood.”
Liang Hengyu pouted: “Then why are you crying?”
These women are better at acting than the opera singers in the theater, they cry as soon as they say they open their mouths.
The preparations that Ge Chuyi originally wanted to make were all destroyed by the fifth prince.
She could only reply: “My second brother is in trouble.”
She then looked at the second prince: “He was forced to go to the northern border to mine, so I would like to ask Your Highness to help me see if my second brother can be rescued from the mine.”
She mentioned again that it was Xiao Dalang from the Xiao family who did it.
Liang Hengshao said perfunctorily: “Okay, I’ll send someone to the Northern Frontier to take a look.”
She looked at him tenderly, and burst into happiness: “Thank you, Your Highness!”
She asked again: “By the way, my sister wants to see me, can I go to the general’s mansion?”
Liang Hengshao smiled: “Okay, go and tell the princess that I agree.”
“Thank you, Your Highness!” Ge Chuyi was happy again.
Liang Hengshao waved his hand: “The Fifth Prince and I have something to talk about, you go back first.”
Ge Chuyi nodded obediently and sensibly: “Yes.”
Then she retreated.
Liang Hengshao squinted his eyes after she left: “Xiao Yuanshi is really cruel.”
Before, he had been training his brother-in-law, but when he broke his leg and had nothing to use, he was thrown to the Northern Frontier.
There were also rumors that Xiao Yuanshi was afraid of his newly married wife, but now it seems impossible.
Without Xiao Yuanshi’s acquiescence, Ge Chunyi would not be forced to mine.
Liang Hengyu thought for a while and suggested: “Xiao Yuanshi’s character is not good, second brother, I suggest you don’t cooperate with him.”
Liang Hengshao pondered for a moment: “I think so too, I will cut off my involvement with Xiao Yuanshi as soon as possible.”
He was a cold-blooded and ruthless person who put profit above all else. Such a person was too easy to backfire.
If Xiao Yuanshi knew that because of his new wife’s letter and his sister-in-law went to the second prince to ask for help, which completely cut off his cooperation with the second prince, he would probably be so angry that he would vomit blood.
