Shi Qingluo found that his scumbag father was a person who put profit above everything else, but he lived very clearly.
Knowing that Ge Chuyi was an ungrateful person, he abandoned her without hesitation.
She smiled: “I knew you were a smart person.”
She pulled Xiao Baili up: “Then we will wait for your good news!”
“Goodbye!” Xiao Yuanshi didn’t want to see them again, especially this bad daughter-in-law.
Every time she spoke, no matter how unpleasant it was, she had to deliberately hurt his heart.
After Shi Qingluo and the others left, Xiao Yuanshi went to Ge Chunru’s yard.
Ge Chunru had just copied a Buddhist scripture.
Seeing Xiao Yuanshi coming, she showed a delicate smile on her face: “The general is here.”
Then she took the initiative to step forward, stretched out her hand, and pulled Xiao Yuanshi’s hand: “The general has lost weight recently, and I feel so distressed when I see you.”
She changed her previous quarrels and became as gentle and considerate as when they first met.
Xiao Yuanshi resisted the urge to shake her hand off: “I’ve been so worried about your matter recently, so I’ve lost weight naturally.”
Ge Chunru’s body stiffened, and soon she lowered her head with a look of knowing her fault: “It’s all my fault. The general has been wronged.”
She took the initiative to hug Xiao Yuanshi’s arm and shook it like a girl: “I will change in the future and never make you angry again.”
In the past, whenever Xiao Yuanshi saw Ge Chunru like this, he only thought that the little girl was cute and naive.
But now he thought he was so pretentious. At this age, she was still imitating this kind of action when she was a girl. He was a little speechless.
He doesn’t want to stay any longer.
So he took out the paper in his arms: “Take a look for yourself.”
He added: “This is the evidence that Shi Qingluo just sent us. She wants us to take out 50,000 taels of silver as compensation, otherwise, she will go to the Yamen to sue you and put you in jail.”
Ge Chunru immediately took the paper and looked at it, her face pale: “How can she be so vicious? She pushed me to this point, but still didn’t let me go.”
Xiao Yuanshi didn’t ask Shi Qingluo if they had planned Ge Chunru’s matter, for fear of being criticized again.
But he was sure in his heart that it was most likely the work of his eldest son and his wife.
Hearing Ge Chunru’s words, he wanted to say that she deserved it, but he still endured it.
He asked: “What do you think we should do?”
Ge Chunru couldn’t hold back her tears: “I, I don’t know.”
“But according to Shi Qingluo’s personality, she can do what she says, she is vicious and cruel.”
“General, I don’t want to go to jail.”
She wanted to lean on Xiao Yuanshi.
But Xiao Yuanshi avoided her and held her with his hand: “If you don’t want to go to jail, then you have to pay.”
When Ge Chunru thought that it was 50,000 taels, not 50 taels, she felt distressed.
“But this is too much, can you let her pay less?”
Xiao Yuanshi shook his head: “It’s useless, I asked just now, and she said not a penny less.”
“I still have 30,000 taels here, I can take out 20,000 taels, and I have to keep 10,000 taels for our expenses in the northern border.”
“So the remaining 30,000 taels, only you can fill it.”
Ge Chunru was stunned: “I only have a few thousand taels in my hand, how can I fill it?”
Xiao Yuanshi said meaningfully: “You can ask your sister and ask her for help.”
Ge Chunru’s face changed: “Where does my sister have the money to fill it?”
And that was all her sister’s money, how could she be embarrassed to ask for it?
Seeing her like this, Xiao Yuanshi squinted his eyes: “If it wasn’t for her instigation if it wasn’t for her asking me to lift your house arrest, the flower viewing banquet wouldn’t have happened.”
“And if you go to jail, it will also hinder her in the second prince’s mansion in the future.”
Ge Chunru looked at him sadly: “You said such a thing.”
“Chuyi is very favored by the second prince now. If you ask me to ask for money, won’t that make the relationship awkward?”
“It will also affect you at that time!”
Her meaning was very clear. If Xiao Yuanshi still wanted her sister to be a helper, he shouldn’t have such an idea.
Xiao Yuanshi squinted his eyes and asked: “Then what do you think we should do? You have used all the money in the general’s mansion to subsidize your brothers and sisters. I don’t have that much money now.”
“Besides, we have to buy a house and live again when we go to the northern border, which will cost a lot of money.”
Ge Chunru thought for a while: “Let’s sell the manor and the hundreds of acres of land in the suburbs of Beijing.”
“Sell all the porcelain items that can’t be taken away from the general’s mansion, and it should be no problem to collect 50,000 taels of silver.”
She felt uncomfortable when she thought of Xiao Yuanshi bringing that bitch Tao Liu to the manor for a short stay.
It was just right to sell it and raise money for emergencies.
But when she thought of Shi Qingluo asking for 50,000 taels of silver, it was as painful as cutting her flesh.
But she couldn’t help but collect it, because, after several confrontations, she also saw it.
Shi Qingluo was a tough person, there was nothing that the little bitch dared not do.
After hearing this, Xiao Yuanshi felt cold in his heart.
Sure enough, she still couldn’t bear to part with her sister and wanted to cut off her flesh from him.
“The manor is already one of the few remaining properties of the general’s mansion, so it is impossible to sell it.”
“You caused all this trouble yourself.”
“I’ll take out 20,000 taels of silver, and you can figure out the remaining 30,000 by yourself, otherwise Shi Qingluo will report to the Yamen, and I can’t stop it.”
Ge Chunru was so angry: “So you don’t care about me? Why are you so cruel?”
“General, I was wrong, I was wrong, and I will never do this again.”
She held Xiao Yuanshi’s hand and begged: “Don’t treat me like this, okay?”
She now knew that making a fuss would only push Xiao Yuanshi to Tao Liu.
But Xiao Yuanshi didn’t buy it.
If Ge Chunru hadn’t proposed to sell the things in the manor and the general’s mansion, he could still be soft-hearted and think of ways to raise money or go to Ge Chuyi himself.
But now he doesn’t want to care.
Since Ge Chunru and Ge Chuyi were so close sisters, I believe that if something happens to the elder sister, the younger sister will not stand idly by.
As for whether this incident would cause a rift in the relationship between the two sisters, it was none of his business.
He was even expecting to get such a result. He was fed up with Ge Chunru’s subsidies to her younger brothers and sisters.
He also wants to see if they are so close.
His eyes were gloomy as he said: “I am being laughed at by the whole capital now, but I don’t blame you.”
“So Chunru, don’t force me.”
The first time Ge Chunru saw Xiao Yuanshi like this, she suddenly felt a little scared.
She knew that he was still concerned about what happened at the flower viewing banquet.
She didn’t dare to say no again, and could only say aggrieved: “I, I’ll think of a way.”
She was afraid that Xiao Yuanshi would be completely divorced and ignore her in the future.
She had to win Xiao Yuanshi back again, and when she went to the northern border, she could bring his brother back to recuperate.
Xiao Yuanshi’s expression softened a little: “I knew you were smart.”
“Shi Qingluo only gave me 5 days, so you should find a way to get the money together as soon as possible.”
“I have something to do in the study, and I’ll come to see you in 2 days.”
Ge Chunru wanted to keep Xiao Yuanshi, but he was unhappy, so she endured it: “Okay, I’ll wait for you.”
Xiao Yuanshi nodded and turned to leave.
He didn’t see Ge Chunru’s gloomy face and the hatred in her eyes.
After he left the yard, he also ordered people to keep an eye on Ge Chunru and not allow her to sell things in the mansion.
