Xiao Yuanshi suddenly felt a little discouraged, and his whole body was filled with a sense of defeat.
“Ge Chunru, in your heart, are your brother and sister the most important?”
Ge Chunru watched the anger on Xiao Yuanshi’s face disappear, not only did she not breathe a sigh of relief, but she felt a little flustered.
She hurriedly replied: “No, you are the most important to me.”
In her heart, Xiao Yuanshi was important, but her brother and sister were equally important.
But she couldn’t tell him.
Xiao Yuanshi sneered: “You are full of lies.”
“It has come to this point, and what you are thinking about is how your sister can live better in the Second Prince’s Mansion.”
“But why don’t you think about whether I can live better in North City?”
“What will be the consequences of your doing this?”
Ge Chunru was even more flustered: “I, I don’t understand these things either.”
“I just, I just believe that you will handle it well.”
In her heart, Xiao Yuanshi was powerful, no matter what happens, he can handle it.
No matter what she does, he will help her.
That’s why she wasn’t that worried.
Xiao Yuanshi took a deep breath: “You mean, I still have to pay back the 50,000 taels of silver?”
Ge Chunru was flustered and her eyes red: “I can’t take it out now.”
“You pay back the 50,000 taels first, and when Chunyi gives birth to the second prince’s son and has a firm foothold in the second prince’s mansion, I will ask her for the money back, okay?”
At that time, Xiao Yuanshi probably wouldn’t be short of this little money.
If her sister had a firm foothold, she would be able to completely win over the second prince, so how could Xiao Yuanshi have the nerve to ask her to ask for money again?
If he forced her to ask, she would go to her sister to borrow.
Xiao Yuanshi closed his eyes, opened them, and said: “It’s too late. If you had told me on the same day, I would have sent the silver back in time.”
“But now, let alone returning 50,000 taels, even returning 100,000 taels is useless.”
“If you give someone a money gift to get your alliance, and the other party took it, after a long time, won’t they think you agree?”
“You’re sending it back after such a long time, what are you doing? Are you trying to trick them?”
“If the Emperor knows about this, he will blame me, and I will offend Prince Jin. How can I survive in Beicheng?”
Ge Chunru was stunned: “How could this happen?”
She never thought that it was so serious just because she received 50,000 taels of silver.
Xiao Yuanshi raised his hand and rubbed his brows: “That’s why you are stupid.”
“If the Deputy Governor’s Office continues to let you manage it, it will be over sooner or later.”
“I will notify everyone in the Deputy Governor’s Office. From today on, you and Liu Ru will switch their identities.”
Ge Chunru’s eyes widened in shock: “What do you mean by switching my and Liu Ru’s identities? You make it clear.”
If Ge Chunru had been like this in the past, Xiao Yuanshi would have felt distressed or soft-hearted.
But now he was nothing but angry: “From today on, Liu Ru is the main wife of the Deputy Governor’s Office, and you are my concubine. Do you understand now?”
Ge Chunru’s face was dull: “You want to demote my wife to a concubine?”
“How can you do this to me?”
Xiao Yuanshi said with a sullen face: “Why can’t I? You forced me to do this.”
“I have always emphasized that you should stop scheming against Zheng’er and his siblings, but you didn’t listen and insisted on making trouble, and finally made me wear a green hat that everyone in the capital knows.”
“I told you not to go, but you insisted on going to the mine, and then went to Heyang County to cause trouble, and finally gave so many handles to the people of the Xiao family and Shi Qingluo.
“I asked you to come to Beicheng to control your servants and be cautious, but you ignored me and took 50,000 taels of silver from Prince Jin’s Mansion behind my back, which put me in a dilemma now.”
“Tell me, isn’t it you who made all this mistake?”
If it weren’t for these things, even if Ge Chunru couldn’t give birth to a legitimate son, he would never have thought of demoting her to a concubine.
Ge Chunru was so angry that she raised her hand and pointed at him tremblingly: “You, you actually want me to be a concubine, Xiao Yuanshi, you are not a human being.”
“You said you would love and care for me all your life, you liar.”
Xiao Yuanshi sneered: “You also said you would be a good wife and mother, but have you done it?”
“After being demoted to a concubine, you will still be under my care, at least you don’t have to eat and sleep outside.”
Ge Chunru was so angry that she was going crazy, and she couldn’t help but pounce on Xiao Yuanshi and scratch his face.
“Xiao Yuanshi, you are so heartless, I hate you to death.”
“How dare you say these things? How did you plan for my brother to go to the mine, don’t think I don’t know.”
“I hate you, I hate you to death.”
Hearing this, Xiao Yuanshi couldn’t help but push her down with force: “It’s about your brother again.”
“In your heart, there are only your brother and sister. Since you care about them so much, why don’t you go and live with them.”
He was so cold-hearted. After doing so much, in Ge Chunru’s heart, he was still not as important as her ungrateful brother and sister.
Ge Chunru was pushed to the ground, sitting and crying, saying: “Xiao Yuanshi, you are not a human being, you are too much.”
“I don’t want to be demoted to a concubine, I don’t want it.”
Xiao Yuanshi looked at her coldly: “I can’t help it.”
Before, he felt a little guilty about demoting Ge Chunru to a concubine.
But after knowing that Ge Chunru accepted 50,000 taels of silver from Prince Jin’s Mansion and took most of the money to subsidize her sister, this guilt disappeared.
He couldn’t afford such a prodigal woman.
Seeing Xiao Yuanshi like this, Ge Chunru couldn’t help but feel cold in her heart.
It turned out that he was serious. He wanted to demote her to a concubine.
It was useless to make a fuss. Her heart was even more flustered.
So she couldn’t help but give in and hugged Xiao Yuanshi’s legs: “General, I was wrong. I will never accept gifts from others again. I don’t want to be a concubine.”
She succeeded in making Mrs. Kong a concubine. If this happened to her, she doesn’t know how Mrs. Kong and others would laugh at her behind her back. It was too shameful.
And she didn’t want to be compared with Tao Liu, that bitch. She wanted to be the main wife of the deputy governor.
Xiao Yuanshi shook his head: “It’s too late.”
Seeing that Xiao Yuanshi was not moved by soft and hard words, Ge Chunru looked at him fiercely and cried: “Xiao Yuanshi, I won’t be a concubine. I will never admit this identity.”
After Xiao Yuanshi calmed down, he no longer cared about the feelings in the past.
“Since you don’t want to be a concubine, then I will give you a divorce letter. You can take your brother and sister-in-law and leave the deputy governor’s mansion.”
He will not change his mind this time.
He said coldly: “Either be my concubine or accept my divorce letter. There is no third option. You choose.”
Ge Chunru looked at him in disbelief. Just for 50,000 taels of silver, he treated her like this.
She wanted to say that she would divorce him. Who is afraid of whom?
But her sister hadn’t given birth to a son yet, and she had to guard against being secretly murdered by the women in the backyard. If she was divorced, it would hinder her sister.
Her younger brother couldn’t protect himself. Without the protection of the Deputy Governor’s Office, it was unrealistic to want to live a good life.
She didn’t have any skills, and she couldn’t do business. If she left the Deputy Governor’s Office, how could she live?
It was even more impossible for her to have no worries about food and clothing like now, and to have an enviable status when she went out.
