Ge Chunru took the initiative to stand up and hug Xiao Yuanshi.
“General, my sister is pregnant with the second prince’s child and urgently need of money, so I sent someone to send money first.”
“If she can give birth to a son in the future, she may have a chance to become the crown princess.”
This means that her sister’s status was different now.
“Let’s help Chuyi more now. In the future, if she wins over the second prince, it will be beneficial to you.”
Xiao Yuanshi pushed Ge Chunru away, who was about to hug him.
He was furious this time.
His face was ashen, and he couldn’t help but roar: “Ge Chunru, don’t you still know what mistake you made?”
Ge Chunru was shocked when she was pushed away: “I know I was wrong. If I want to give Chuyi money in the future, I will tell you in advance.”
This time she deliberately concealed it, otherwise Xiao Yuanshi would never allow her to give 40,000 taels.
Xiao Yuanshi laughed angrily: “Do you want to do it again next time?”
“Ge Chunru, you keep using the family’s money to subsidize your younger brother and sisters, but let’s not talk about this for now.”
“How could you accept the 50,000 taels of silver sent by Prince Jin Mansion privately? And you didn’t tell me.” This was what made him most angry.
Ge Chunru was a little puzzled: “Since Prince Jin Mansion sent us the gift money for our housewarming, why not accept it?”
When she came to the Northern Frontier, she was still worrying about how to raise money for her sister.
Who knew that Prince Jin Mansion would send someone to give them silver, so she happily accepted it.
Xiao Yuanshi found that he was wrong. He used to think that Ge Chunru was a smart and intelligent woman.
Now it seems that her intelligence was all used in crooked ways.
If Kong Yuelan encountered this, she would be shocked, and then immediately come to him with a box of silver bills.
If it was Shi Qingluo, that dead daughter-in-law, she would return it on the spot.
But Ge Chunru was so greedy that she dared to accept any money.
Xiao Yuanshi asked coldly: “Do you mean that you will accept any gift from anyone in the future?”
Ge Chunru originally wanted to say, that since it was sent, why not accept it?
He has become a deputy governor, what’s the point of not taking the opportunity to make some money?
But seeing Xiao Yuanshi getting angry, she hurriedly said: “Not all of them.”
She reached out to pull Xiao Yuanshi’s sleeve, with a bit of coquettish meaning: “Don’t be angry, if anyone gives you gifts or money in the future, I will ask you before accepting them, okay.”
Xiao Yuanshi couldn’t help but shake her hand away: “Ge Chunru, I really didn’t expect you to be so greedy, stupid, and petty person.”
“Or maybe you disguised yourself too well, and your true nature was gradually exposed after becoming the main wife.”
Ge Chunru widened her eyes: “How dare you say that to me?”
Xiao Yuanshi snorted coldly: “Originally, my parents forced me to divorce you, but I didn’t agree.”
“They threatened to expel me to the clan if I didn’t demote you to a concubine, saying that you would harm the deputy governor’s mansion and me one day.”
“I didn’t believe it before, but I believe it now.”
Could Shi Qingluo read faces? Ge Chunru wanted to harm him or others because she was rich and powerful.
Ge Chunru looked unbelievable: “What did you say? Did I harm the deputy governor’s mansion and you? How did I harm you? You are my husband!”
Xiao Yuanshi found that Ge Chunru was brainless. Until now, she still didn’t know what the biggest mistake she made was.
“I am the deputy governor of Beicheng sent by the Emperor, so I can’t be involved in interests with Prince Jin.”
“But you accepted 50,000 taels of silver from Prince Jin Mansion. Prince Jin can blackmail me and force me to do something for him after accepting his bribe.”
“What do you think I should do?”
“If I help Prince Jin, the Emperor will never forgive me.”
“But if I don’t help Prince Jin after accepting those 50,000 taels of silver, he can sue me for accepting a bribe.”
His face turned red: “Tell me, if you are not harming me, then who are you harming?”
If they hadn’t been together for so long, he would have suspected that Ge Chunru was sent by the enemy to deliberately make trouble for him.
Not to mention demoting him from the capital back to the northern border, now he was completely in a dilemma.
He came to monitor Prince Jin, not to seek refuge from Prince Jin.
At this time, Xiao Yuanshi suddenly believed that Ge Chunru was a jinx.
Ge Chunru didn’t expect there to be such twists and turns in this.
At that time, she only thought that even Prince Jin had to give money to Xiao Yuanshi, which meant that this deputy governor had a high position.
And she was worried about the money. The other party’s gift was a timely helping hand, so she naturally accepted the money.
“General, I, I didn’t know it would be like this.”
“I didn’t mean it, I didn’t know it would be so serious.”
“I was wrong, don’t be angry.”
She hurriedly suggested: “Then let’s return the 50,000 taels of silver as soon as possible.”
No wonder Xiao Yuanshi was so angry, it was the first time she saw him so angry.
But she didn’t know it would be so serious.
He didn’t tell her this when he first came to Beicheng!
Xiao Yuanshi and Ge Chunru have been together for many years, and he saw her thoughts at a glance, which made him even more angry.
He indulged her too much, making her completely forget her identity.
Xiao Yuanshi looked at her and asked: “Send it back, what about the money?”
“This is 50,000 taels, not 50 taels.”
“Can you take out 50,000 taels now?”
She said it very simply, returned those 50,000 taels.
She gave all the money to Ge Chuyi, what should she return?
She just wanted him to pay for it again.
But he didn’t have that much money now.
Ge Chunru said with a guilty conscience: “I, I only have less than 10,000 taels of silver in my hand.”
Xiao Yuanshi raised an eyebrow: “Then you ask Ge Chuyi to return the money, and I will make up the rest.”
This was of course impossible, but it was a final test for Ge Chunru.
Ge Chunru bit her lip: “It’s all given away, how can we ask for it back?”
“General, don’t you always want to stand with the Second Prince? Be nice to Chuyi now, and she will be able to help you speak well in front of the Second Prince in the future.”
“If something happened in the Northern Frontier in the future, we can write to her and ask her to ask the Second Prince for help.”
“She is pregnant now, and the women in the Second Prince’s mansion have always been jealous and joined forces to bully her. Without money, she has a hard time.”
“I also hope that she can keep the child and help the general in the future.”
This was the only way to impress Xiao Yuanshi now.
Xiao Yuanshi’s heart suddenly felt a little cold.
He didn’t expect that, even though he had explained the matter so seriously, Ge Chunru was still thinking about her sister.
She didn’t even ask him if he could come up with more than 40,000 taels to fill the hole.
Or even if she cared about whether it would have an impact on him even if they returned the money.
At this moment, Xiao Yuanshi’s last bit of affection for Ge Chunru was completely gone.
He was indeed not a good person. He owed a lot of things to his parents, especially his first wife and children.
He had let down many people in his life, but he had never let down Ge Chunru.
Is this how she will repay him?
