Chapter 331: Turning Passive into Active

The scumbag father asked Ge Chunru to ask Ge Chuyi for money, and Xiao Hanzheng soon received the news.

After reading the news, Shi Qingluo sighed: “The scumbag father is amazing, he just threw the blame on his new wife.”

He didn’t care.

Xiao Hanzheng has figured out the scumbag father’s temperament: “He has been on guard against Ge Chuyi, and his self-esteem may have been hurt by the other party’s pressure last time.”

The scumbag father was a person who loves face and has a strong self-esteem.

The poor little girl who once needed his protection turned against him, which made the scumbag father naturally couldn’t accept it.

He also knew Ge Chuyi was unreliable, so he was ready to give up this chess piece.

“So he deliberately let Ge Chunru, the elder sister, come forward, probably to break up the relationship between the two sisters.”

Shi Qingluo was puzzled: “What is he trying to do?”

“He sent Ge Chuyi to the Second Prince’s Mansion in exchange for benefits, and he seemed to be a little decisive in giving up.”

Originally, they just wanted to sow discord, but they didn’t expect the scumbag father to agree so readily.

Xiao Hanzheng thought for a while and said: “The scum father is not clear-headed about Ge Chunru, but he is not stupid in politics.”

“I guess he may have discovered the Emperor’s attitude. He has close contacts with the second prince in private, which makes the Emperor unhappy.”

“To be precise, after being demoted, his mind should have become clear all of a sudden, and he is no longer blinded by the so-called merit of following the royal family.”

“So we gave him an idea, and he just took this opportunity to distance himself from his sister-in-law Ge Chuyi.”

“In addition, he might be afraid that you would sue Ge Chunru and put her in jail, run to ask the Emperor for a decision, and be forced to give 50,000 taels.”

“There should be another point that he deliberately wanted to do for the Emperor to see.”

He knew that the Emperor had spies everywhere, so how could the scum father not know?

Shi Qingluo found that she really couldn’t underestimate those who mixed in the court. It must be said that although the scum father was a scum, he still had some ability and a high mind.

These were not suitable for her, her husband should do it.

She then sighed: “He loves Ge Chunru. Regardless of whether she was plotted or not, Ge Chunru has cheated on him, but he can tolerate it.”

Xiao Hanzheng thought for a while and said: “He must feel uncomfortable. Judging from the news from the general’s mansion, the conflict between the two is gradually getting bigger.”

“The scum father has never given up on Ge Chunru, maybe because he doesn’t want to deny his original choice.”

“After all, he did pay a big price for Ge Chunru.”

Divorcing Ge Chunru also means that the scum father’s choice was wrong.

The scum father probably can’t accept this mistake, so he keeps dragging it on.

Of course, the scum father should have liked Ge Chunru, so now he still has some feelings for her.

Shi Qingluo nodded: “After this analysis, I feel it’s clear now.”

“No wonder Ge Chunru made so many mistakes, but the scum father still tolerated it.”

She laughed: “I wonder if the scum father can still tolerate Ge Chunru after she goes to the northern border to make trouble again.”

Xiao Hanzheng chuckled: “Aren’t there still people from the old Xiao family? Once they keep making trouble, the scum father’s patience will completely be exhausted, so naturally he can’t stand it anymore.”

Shi Qingluo nodded with a smile: “That’s right.”

At this moment, the housekeeper asked for a meeting.

“Master, someone sent me a post.”

Xiao Hanzheng took the post and looked at it: “I see.”

After the housekeeper left, Shi Qingluo said: “Recently, there have been a lot of posts inviting you to a banquet.”

Xiao Hanzheng smiled and said: “Maybe they think they can make money from me.”

“This is a post from Fang Zhijun, asking me to go to the suburbs to enjoy the flowers tomorrow.”

Shi Qingluo knew that Fang Zhijun was her husband’s new friend.

The reason why she had an impression of Fang Zhijun was because he was Zhuo Jun’s classmate and friend, and they came together from North City.

“Are you going?”

She said meaningfully: “I always feel that Fang Zhijun’s invitation to you is fake, but Zhuo Jun’s invitation to you is real.”

Recently, Fang Zhijun has written no less than ten posts, hoping to invite the young master to a party.

The young master would go once in a while, but Zhuo Jun would be there every time.

When her husband didn’t go, Zhuo Jun won’t go either.

She didn’t believe in such a coincidence.

Xiao Hanzheng looked at his wife pouting, smiled, and pinched her face: “Is my wife jealous?”

Shi Qingluo rolled his eyes at him: “I’m not jealous, you weren’t seduced by him.”

She still believed in her husband.

She asked: “Are you still checking the information about Zhuo Jun?”

Xiao Hanzheng nodded: “I’m still checking. There’s nothing wrong with what I found before.”

He added: “But I believe in your intuition.”

Shi Qingluo smiled and hooked her hand: “That’s given.”

She said: “Go to the banquet tomorrow, and by the way, see if he will do anything inappropriate to you. Observe his eyes and so on.”

Xiao Hanzheng thought about it and nodded: “Okay, I’ll go check it out tomorrow.”

Since his wife told him about Zhuo Jun’s problem, he deliberately distanced himself from the other party.

Later, Fang Zhijun often made appointments, and he went twice out of ten times.

And every time he sat for a short while and left, so he didn’t find any problems with Zhuo Jun.

Now that his wife said this, he also felt that it would be better to turn the passive into the active.

If the other party has problems, it will be gradually exposed.

The next day, Xiao Hanzheng put on the moon-white brocade robe prepared by his wife, got on the carriage, and went to the suburbs as agreed.

The place where they agreed to enjoy the flowers was a pear garden and now was the season when the pear flowers were in full bloom.

The weather was still cold. After getting off the carriage, Xiao Hanzheng put on a fur coat and walked into the pear garden with the hand warmer stuffed by his wife in his hand.

This pear garden was the property of Fang Zhijun’s family, so soon a servant of the Fang Family took Xiao Hanzheng to the courtyard to enjoy the flowers.

As soon as he walked in, Xiao Hanzheng saw five people sitting around the stove drinking tea and chatting.

When Fang Zhijun saw Xiao Hanzheng coming in, he immediately stood up and said with a smile: “Jinyu, you’re here.”

Xiao Hanzheng walked over and nodded: “Brother Zhijun!”

Many children of families on the northern border do not like to take pen names, so Fang Zhijun doesn’t have a pen name.

The other people also smiled and greeted Xiao Hanzheng.

Zhuo Jun smiled and pointed to the empty seat next to him: “Jinyu, please sit down.”

Xiao Hanzheng smiled at him and didn’t refuse to go over and sit next to him.

Zhuo Jun poured a cup of tea and handed it to Xiao Hanzheng: “Have a cup of tea to warm you up.”

Xiao Hanzheng took the tea: “Thank you!”

He took a sip, and there was nothing wrong with the tea, but he smelled a faint scent of incense on Zhuo Jun.

If it weren’t for his sensitive nose, he might not have smelled it because the smell was very light.

This incense didn’t have any special effect, but it surprised Xiao Hanzheng.

Because this was an expensive orchid-scented incense made by his wife and now being sold by Xi Rong in the Rouge Shop.

The reason why he knew it so well was because his younger sister liked this incense very much and had been using it all the time.

If it were him, he would feel a little feminine, and he preferred the ones with sandalwood and mint scents.

It was also the first time he saw a man using incense of this scent.
