After talking about Xiao Yuanshi, Ge Chunru, and her sister angrily scolded Tao Liu.
At the same time, they also talked about Tao Liu’s pregnancy.
Ge Chuyi was very upset. Tao Liu was already five months pregnant, and her sister just found out. This was so stupid.
The former sister was very scheming!
So she persuaded Ge Chunru not to touch Tao Liu.
After all, Xiao Yuanshi was watching her closely now. If she was found out, it would be troublesome.
It would be better to wait until she gave birth to do something, and then just kill the mother and keep the child.
When the child is in her hands, it will be up to her sister to decide how to deal with it.
“Sister, just treat the child like a toy and raise him until he is useless.”
She suggested: “You can spoil the child as much as you can. If the child wants stars, give him stars. If he wants the moon, give him the moon.”
“No one will say you are wrong, and brother-in-law will think you are a loving mother.”
“When the child becomes useless, it’s because he is not motivated. It has nothing to do with you, the mother who loves him.”
“If it is a girl, it will be even simpler.”
“Raise her, find a useful family to marry her off.”
Her sister was really stupid. Why doesn’t she raise the child born by Tao Liu?
Won’t this push her brother-in-law further and further away?
If it were her, she would not only raise her but also raise her very well. She would destroy the child by pampering him, and make people appreciate her kindness.
It would be even better if it was a girl. She could be used for marriage in the future.
Originally, Ge Chunru wanted to wait until Tao Liu’s child was one or two years old before letting her get sick.
After listening to her sister’s words, she suddenly felt that this was indeed better.
Tao Liu was now annoying her and trying to sow discord between her and Xiao Yuanshi.
In the future, she will treat Tao Liu’s son or daughter ‘well’. Hmph!
“Okay, I’ll listen to you.”
The two talked for a while, and seeing that it was getting late, Ge Chunru got up and took the box that was placed on the table when she entered the door just now.
“Chuyi, these are some jewelry. You can use them first. If you want to eat something, take them to the kitchen.”
“Don’t let yourself down.”
These were most of her jewelry, gold, and silver jewelry. She brought them because she was afraid that her sister would be wronged as the second prince’s wife.
Now it seems that it was true. Her sister was bullied.
Xiao Yuanshi watched her closely and didn’t allow her to sell her things, otherwise she would have pawned them to raise money last time.
It’s not bad to use it to compensate her sister now.
Seeing a box of jewels, gold, and silver jewelry, it must be worth seven or eight thousand taels of silver.
Ge Chuyi hugged Ge Chunru, looking so moved that she was about to cry: “Sister, you are so kind, I will treat you well in the future. His Highness and I will be your backers.”
Ge Chunru touched Ge Chuyi’s head, smiled with relief, and said: “Okay, sister will rely on you.”
The two talked a few more words, and Ge Chunru left reluctantly.
She didn’t know that as soon as she walked out of the yard.
Ge Chuyi asked someone to fetch water for bathing because she had held her hand and hugged her before.
Whether she was supposed to have an affair or not, Ge Chuyi felt a little disgusted with her biological sister in her heart.
After returning to the General’s Mansion, Ge Chunru cheered up and took care of the things to be moved to the Northern Frontier.
She didn’t notice that one of the maids who followed to the Second Prince’s Mansion sneaked out.
At this time, she was in Xiao Yuanshi’s study.
Xiao Yuanshi asked: “What did Madam bring when she went to see Concubine Ge?”
The maid said truthfully: “Madam gave most of the jewelry, gold, and silver jewelry to Concubine Ge.”
Although she didn’t see it with her own eyes, she saw Madam packing and carrying it into the Second Prince’s Mansion herself.
But when she came out, she didn’t bring the wooden box out.
Xiao Yuanshi’s face darkened. He didn’t expect his wife to give so many things to subsidize Ge Chuyi again.
He asked again: “What did they say to each other?”
The maid replied respectfully: “When the Madam was talking to Concubine Ge, she drove out the servants. I didn’t hear it.”
Xiao Yuanshi got the news he wanted to know and waved his hand: “Keep watching the Madam.”
“If she takes anything from the public or sells anything, tell me immediately.”
The maid replied respectfully: “Yes!”
Then she withdrew.
Xiao Yuanshi took a deep breath and suppressed his anger.
It seems that Liu Ru still needs to be the housekeeper when they go to the Northern Frontier.
Ge Chunru managed it very efficiently. In just three days, she sorted out the list of people and things to be taken.
Then she was rarely humble to Xiao Yuanshi and begged him to leave early.
Xiao Yuanshi was annoyed by being pestered and had no choice but to agree.
The Emperor didn’t take back the general’s mansion. Xiao Yuanshi left someone to look after the house and took his wife, concubines, and most of the servants to leave the capital and head for the northern border.
He also bought a pair of tires from the Duke of Qi’s mansion at a high price and replaced them on a carriage.
This was the tire that Shi Qingluo made after she made the bicycle.
She also made a shock-absorbing spring, which combined with rubber tires to make the carriage more stable than ordinary ones. The journey won’t be so bumpy.
Xiao Yuanshi was worried about the baby in Liu Ru’s belly, so he offered a high price for the tires.
Because there were too many people who made reservations, if Xiao Yuanshi hadn’t gone to find the son of Duke Qi and cut in line, he wouldn’t have been able to buy this pair of tires.
At this time, Tao Liu was comfortable, lying in the carriage, drinking hot tea and eating snacks.
When Xiao Yuanshi was tired of riding, he would go into her carriage to rest.
At first, Ge Chunru didn’t know about this, but after she found out that her carriage was different from Tao Liu’s, she couldn’t help but ask people.
After asking, she found out that this was a tire that couldn’t be bought in the capital. After using it, the carriage was not so bumpy.
She sat in her carriage, and after driving for a few days, her whole body felt like it was going to fall apart.
Why could Tao Liu, a concubine, use such a carriage?
So she couldn’t help but ask Xiao Yuanshi, and was dismissed with a sentence “Because Liu Ru is pregnant.”
Ge Chunru was furious, and she deepened her determination to kill Tao Liu and keep her child.
On the other hand, Shi Qinglou sold another money-making method and made a lot of money.
Yes, the carriage tires and shock-absorbing springs were the method she sold to the Qi Family and other families.
After all, these families have rubber, and they can’t all be used to make rubber-soled leather shoes and bicycles.
Shi Qingluo thought of replacing the wooden wheels of the carriage with rubber tires to reduce shock.
When their family accompanied her husband to the northern border to take up his post, they would have something to sit on more comfortably.
As soon as the carriage tires came out, they caused another wave of buying fever.
The carriage was a necessary means of transportation for people with some money. It was more comfortable to sit on, and people who were not tight on money were willing to change their tires.
It was a pity that although several families of the Xi Family have opened workshops to produce carriage tires, they were still in short supply.
The orders lined up every day, and many colleagues wanted to jump the queue.
Although rubber was being sent from the place of origin in waves, it still could not meet the demand.
This made Shi Qingluo’s original desire to get a tricycle temporarily rest.
If it doesn’t work, go to the northern border.
The same day, the Emperor called Xiao Hanzheng into the palace.
Since the last time he went to the palace to discuss the matter, the Emperor had not summoned him again. This time, something was wrong.
Xiao Hanzheng also roughly guessed what it was.

I can’t believe that I’m saying this, but these past two chapters have me feeling SORRY for Ge Chunru. Like, is she a terrible, awful person? Yes. But for all her faults, she genuinely loves her younger siblings, and here we have her younger sister looking down on her to the point of bathing after Ge Chunru has touched her. That’s kind of sad.
I agree. I hate GCR because she is evil. Truly hafeful.
But not to her younger brother and sister. They are always her priority.
Everyone around her hates her because she’s siblings supporting demon. Maybe it’s her karma. >.<
