Xiao Yuanshi was in his study room.
Shi Qingluo and Xiao Baili followed the housekeeper in.
The two greeted first at the same time: “Hello, General Xiao!” “Hello, Former father-in-law!”
Xiao Yuanshi didn’t like to hear the three words “former father-in-law”, but he didn’t say anything.
Because he knew that anything he said would be refuted and rebuked by the bad daughter-in-law.
He asked coldly: “What’s wrong?”
Xiao Baili took out a few pieces of paper from her sleeve and handed them over: “General Xiao, your eldest niece is scheming against me like this, shouldn’t you give me an explanation?”
Xiao Yuanshi didn’t like his daughter’s attitude, he took the paper and looked at it first.
After reading it, his brows knitted together.
The paper was full of evidence of how Ge Chunru was going to join forces with Zheng Tongfeng to scheme against Xiao Baili.
There was also Zheng Tongfeng’s testimony, and he doesn’t know where they got it.
After reading all this, he had a new feeling about Ge Chunru’s cruelty.
She wanted Zheng Tongfeng to destroy his daughter’s innocence directly and let the people attending the flower-viewing banquet see it.
He originally thought that she just designed Zheng Tongfeng to hug or kiss Baili.
He sighed and asked: “What do you want to do?”
They collected so much evidence before coming to the door, which means that these two people came prepared.
Xiao Baili didn’t beat around the bush: “Although this matter did not succeed, it left me with a psychological trauma, and I am very afraid of getting married.”
“Your eldest niece has caused me great mental damage, so you have to compensate.”
Xiao Yuanshi: “……”
What the hell is great mental damage?
He couldn’t help but ask: “I think you’re fine!”
Xiao Baili’s eyes turned red: “That’s just on the surface. I have nightmares every night now, afraid that one day your niece will plot against me again.”
“In that case, I might as well shave my head and become a nun.”
“Then I’ll tell everyone that it was you, my father, who broke off the father-daughter relationship with me, and your niece who forced me to do it.”
Shi Qingluo added: “Then I’ll take Baili to the palace and ask the Emperor to judge.”
She said meaningfully: “Maybe I can think of some prescriptions by then.”
Xiao Yuanshi: “……”
This was a threat in both open and covert ways.
His daughter was being led by this bad daughter-in-law to be more and more shameless.
But he didn’t dare not believe Shi Qingluo’s words. After all, it was after this dead girl entered the palace to offer a prescription that he was removed from his position in the Ministry of War.
If she could come up with some recipe that could tempt the Emperor and stop him from going to the Northern Frontier, wouldn’t he cry?
So he gritted his teeth and asked: “How are you going to compensate me?”
Shi Qingluo said: “50,000 taels of silver, not a cent less.”
Xiao Yuanshi took a deep breath: “You are asking for too much.”
Shi Qingluo looked indifferent: “You don’t have to give it.”
“If you don’t give it, we will have to hand this evidence over to the Yamen, and then go to the palace to ask the Emperor to make the decision.”
“Just now, I said it was compensation to Baili to give you some face.”
“Now, since you are shameless, I will tell you clearly that this is the money for buying evidence for your eldest niece. ”
“If it is handed over to the Yamen, she will go to jail.”
“We don’t know whether you will feel distressed or not.”
“But everyone will know that not only was your little wife cheated on you, but your little wife also got into jail for hurting someone.”
“Then you can become famous in the capital again, are you happy?”
Xiao Yuanshi: “……”
Happy as hell.
He said with a grim face: “I don’t have so much money.”
“I only have 30,000 taels of silver in my hand now, I will give you 30,000.”
Although he has more than 30,000 taels, it was only 50,000 more or less.
If he gives out 50,000 taels, how can he survive on the northern border?
Shi Qingluo shook her head: “Impossible, not a penny less than 50,000 taels.”
She added: “Actually, you don’t have that much silver, but others do!”
Her husband said that it would be best to squeeze out almost all the scumbag father’s money before he goes to the northern border.
Then the scumbag father will go treasure hunting.
Xiao Yuanshi was a little puzzled: “Who has it?”
Ge Chunru?
But he checked and found that Ge Chunru only had a few thousand taels of private property, and the rest was subsidized to those two ungrateful people.
Shi Qingluo said meaningfully: “Your sister-in-law has it!”
“She can do such a thing as knocking on your door and threatening you, you don’t still have feelings for her, do you?”
Xiao Yuanshi: “……”
Is this human language?
What does she mean by still having feelings for her, as if he and Ge Chuyi have something?
“Those have already been given to her as dowry, how could she possibly take them out?”
He now sees through Ge Chuyi.
She used to pretend to be well-behaved and sensible in the general’s mansion, but once her identity changed, her true colors were immediately revealed.
So it is impossible to expect Ge Chuyi to take the money.
Shi Qingluo looked at his scumbag father with a stupid look: “Former father-in-law, where is your usual cleverness?”
“Did you use it all to plot against your former wife, who was devoted to you and your three biological children?”
Xiao Yuanshi: “……”
He didn’t want to deal with this bad daughter-in-law: “Just say it if you have something to say.”
Shi Qingluo pointed at the paper in his hand: “Use this to threaten her!”
“She can beat you now, but if she gets the upper hand one day, you will be suppressed to death.”
“Then her sister will not only cheat on you but also ride on your head.”
Xiao Yuanshi: “……”
It was unpleasant to hear, but he thought it made sense.
When he thought of Ge Chuyi’s face that day, he got angry.
Shi Qingluo continued: “Take this evidence and ask someone to find Ge Chuyi. You can tell them directly that we want compensation, otherwise we will send them to the Yamen.”
“She also instigated her sister to do such a thing.”
“So ask her if she is willing to have a sister in jail.”
“If she still wants to climb up, then she will have no chance with a sister who is cheating on her husband and in jail.”
“So for the future, she will most likely help you get the remaining 20,000 taels.”
“Or you can ask her for more money back, after all, the money she has is all subsidized by your little wife.”
Xiao Yuanshi was about to go to the northern border, and he had to sow discord between him and his sister-in-law.
She can’t let the scumbag father become Ge Chuyi’s helper, and vice versa.
It would be better if the scumbag father went to threaten Ge Chunru’s sister and got the money back from her.
After Ge Chunru knew about this, would she not feel uncomfortable?
With Ge Chunru’s personality of ‘I can only let the world down, but the world cannot let me down’, she starts to hate Xiao Yuanshi as her husband.
It would be more lively if she went to the northern border.
So today they came to ask for compensation, which was secondary. The main point was to pave the way for the future fight between the scumbag father and Ge Chunru, who loved each other.
After listening to her words, Xiao Yuanshi thought deeply for a moment.
“I’ll ask someone to tell her.”
He also found out that Ge Chuyi was unreliable.
In that case, let the other party bleed.
And he always had a knot in his heart.
If Ge Chuyi hadn’t come to threaten and slap him that day, and instigated Ge Chunru, the scandal of wearing a green hat would not have happened later, and he couldn’t help but blame that ungrateful sister-in-law.
