A few days ago, Shi Qingluo received an invitation to a flower-viewing banquet from the Prince Jin Mansion.
Prince Jin’s concubine who likes to hold banquets not only invited the families of officials in Beicheng to attend this time but also sent invitations to the wives of county magistrates in various counties.
At that time, Shi Qingluo knew that Prince Jin had ulterior motives.
Sending invitations to everyone was just a cover, and it must be aimed at her.
Shi Qingluo was not afraid of Prince Jin’s actions but was afraid that the other party would not take any action.
So she decided to go to Beicheng for a meeting.
By the way, it would be a pity to miss the drama of the Deputy Governor’s Mansion.
Xiao Hanzheng held Shi Qingluo’s hand: “I will send someone to protect you secretly, be careful when you go to Beicheng.”
Prince Jin Mansion has sent an invitation this time. If his wife does not go, there will be a second and third time.
Why not go and check it out from the beginning?
Shi Qingluo smiled and said: “Don’t worry, Xi Rong will go with me.”
“Prince Jin wants to win us over, so he won’t do anything to me.”
She winked at Xiao Hanzheng: “I’m just going to see the good show at the scumbag father’s house, and I’ll tell you when I come back.”
Xiao Hanzheng smiled and said: “Okay, I’ll wait for you to come back and tell me.”
His wife likes to watch the show, so let her go.
Shi Qingluo took his hand and asked with a smile: “If the scumbag father knew that I was going to Beicheng, would he be so surprised that he wanted to cry?”
Xiao Hanzheng said with a smile: “Absolutely.”
The two talked for a while and then went to be intimate. After all, they wouldn’t see each other for almost ten days and a half months.
Early the next morning.
Ge Chunru and others were also released from the prison.
Xiao Hanzheng deliberately released them today, so that the embarrassed appearance of Ge Chunru and others would be seen by the scumbag father’s subordinates.
Sure enough, when Xiao Yuanshi’s attendant saw Ge Chunru with her hair disheveled, her clothes wrinkled, and a haggard look, he felt no pity in his heart, but more disgust.
This was too embarrassing for the master.
But no matter what, she was their master’s wife.
He could only smile and walk forward: “Madam, the deputy governor sent us to take you home.”
Ge Chunru had been locked up for more than ten days, and she had never suffered such hardship before.
Seeing Xiao Yuanshi’s close attendant appear, she was not very happy.
“Where is Xiao Yuanshi? Why didn’t he come?”
“And why did you come to pick me up so late?”
The attendant was speechless, and he even blamed the master.
“Madam, the general has just taken over the position of deputy governor not long ago, and he can’t leave North City, so he sent me to pick you up.”
“As for the time, we can’t do anything about it.”
“If the county government doesn’t release you, the deputy governor can’t bring people to rob you, right?”
“You can be released because the general exchanged more than 20 talented craftsmen he has recruited over the years.”
The meaning was very clear, it was not that easy for you to get out, and you had to pay a price.
Ge Chunru felt very uncomfortable, and her resentment towards Xiao Yuanshi went up a level.
He didn’t come to pick her up in person.
As for exchanging her for craftsmen, isn’t that normal?
She was his wife. If something happens, should he ignore it?
She wanted to say a few more words, but Mrs. Niu grabbed her arm.
“Sister-in-law, speak less, let’s go back to the governor’s mansion first.”
This woman was sick. What’s the point of talking to servants here?
Ge Chunru didn’t want to say anything more after she was pulled by her.
But she shook Mrs. Niu’s hand away in disdain: “Don’t call me sister-in-law.”
She would never admit that she had such a sister-in-law.
Mrs. Niu didn’t care, anyway, as long as she could go to the vice governor’s mansion to enjoy the good life.
At this time, Shi Qingluo and Xi Rong also came to the gate of the county government with a group of beautiful maids.
There were also several carriages following behind, with people from the old Xiao family sitting on them.
Ge Chunru didn’t care when she saw Shi Qingluo and thought she was looking for Xiao Hanzheng.
Although she hated Shi Qingluo to the core, she couldn’t get angry at this time in Xiao Hanzheng’s territory.
But she remembered the previous imprisonment and must avenge it in the future.
Shi Qingluo came over with a smile: “Are we leaving?”
Xiao Hanzheng nodded: “Yes.”
He stretched out his hand and pulled her sleeve: “Be careful on the road, go early, and come back early.”
Shi Qingluo nodded and smiled: “Okay, I will write to you every day after I leave.”
She and her husband have never contacted each other by letter, so it’s quite interesting to think about it.
Xiao Hanzheng naturally thought of the same thing: “Okay!”
Then he said to Xiao Yuanshi’s attendant: “The people of the Xiao Family and my wife are also going to Beicheng, with you.”
The audience: “…”
It turns out that they were waiting here.
He had a premonition that something was wrong before, and now this feeling has come true.
He has seen the old lady and others’ unreasonable and fussy behavior with his own eyes.
He didn’t expect that they would go to Beicheng with them this time.
And this Shi Qingluo, not only was eloquent but also very good at making trouble.
The people of the Xiao family and Shi Qingluo went to Beicheng together, that was too much.
He asked with a stiff face: “Well, aren’t the old lady and others doing well in the county? Why are they going to Beicheng?”
Xiao Hanzheng explained: “The old lady and the old man miss their son, so they want to take their family to Beicheng to visit your deputy governor.”
Then he asked again about filial piety: “Why? From your look, the deputy governor doesn’t welcome his parents?”
At this time, the old lady’s cursing voice came out: “Is the deputy governor doesn’t welcome us? I gave birth to him and raised him, and this is how he treats his parents?”
How could a personal follower let the master bear the reputation of being unfilial?
He could only say immediately: “The old lady has misunderstood. The deputy governor has always been thinking about the old lady and the old man, and it’s too late to welcome you to go.”
It seems that the people of the Xiao Family are determined to follow.
He couldn’t help but feel a headache for the deputy governor.
The old lady snorted coldly: “He still has some conscience.”
The attendant looked at Shi Qingluo again: “Is the eldest young madam going to the Vice Governor’s Mansion with the old lady and the others?”
Shi Qingluo smiled and said: “No, I received an invitation from the concubine of Prince Jin for a flower-viewing banquet, so I have to go to the banquet.”
“Why, your Vice Governor’s Mansion doesn’t welcome me either?”
The attendant wanted to say that it was obvious, wasn’t it?
But he smiled and said: “How could it be? The eldest young madam misunderstood.”
Ge Chunru’s face was very dark: “What? You are all going to North City together?”
The people of the Xiao family are going to North City, how will they live in the future?
Whenever she thought of the days in the capital when the old lady and others were in the general’s mansion, she wanted to go crazy.
Shi Qingluo glanced at her: “We’re going our own way, so it has nothing to do with you.”
The old lady also opened the window of the carriage and looked at Ge Chunru coldly: “I’m going to my son’s house, I don’t need your consent.”
She wanted to go to the deputy governor’s mansion and scold the second son, and then let him deal with Ge Chunru, otherwise she would not be able to let go of this anger.
