After Breaking Off My Marriage, I Became A Powerful Minister’s Treasure Chapter 104 - Little rascal

Chapter 104: Little rascal

After the chief’s son left, Xiao Hanzheng went to the sugar mill with the letter in his hand.
His wife was arranging the goods’ delivery over there.
When Xiao Hanzheng entered, Shi Qingluo had just finished settling the delivery arrangement for the day.
She poured a cup of herbal tea for Xiao Hanzheng. “Why are you here? I was just about to go back.”
Xiao Hanzheng took a sip and handed the letter to her. “Those from the old residence have sent a letter.”!!
This piqued Shi Qingluo’s interest instantly. She took the letter and tore open the envelope.
After reading it, she couldn’t hide the smile on her face. “Old Xiao, I didn’t realise that troublemakers in your old Xiao family are not weak!”
The letter written by Eldest Grandson Xiao used 9 pieces of paper.
Not only did he write about their recent trip to the capital, he even wrote about how Old Lady Xiao dealt with Ge Chunru.
Xiao Hanzheng had not read the letter yet, but when he heard Shi Qingluo say so, he took the letter and read it.
A smile appeared in his eyes. “As long as they could benefit from something, they are quite strong to attack aggressively.”
Shi Qingluo chuckled. “That’s right, what I want is this unkillable spirit from cockroaches.”
As expected, sending the troublemakers of the Xiao family to the capital as gifts for the two scums was the absolutely right way to go.
She could see from the letter that the general’s residence had been in a state of chaos recently.
Xiao Hanzheng asked curiously, “The letter asked you to come up with an idea. Are you going to do it?”
In the end, as he had expected, the troublemakers of the old Xiao family faced some problems.
Old Lady Xiao wanted to be the lady of the house and used filial piety to suppress his scumbag dad and Ge Chunru.
That woman did not give it to them, so Old Lady Xiao ran to the door of the general’s residence and cried. She was coaxed back.
A few days later, the woman really gave her the authority to be the lady of the house.
But the problem was that there weren’t many things and much money in the storeroom.
Old Lady Xiao and the rest suspected that his scumbag father and that woman had transferred the money and other things away.
But the two refused to admit it. They cried that they were poor every day.
This upset Old Lady Xiao.
Not only did she not have much money as the lady of the house, more importantly, the manor had huge expenses and that woman arranged for the housekeeper to get money from her every day.
Old Lady Xiao saw that the money in the storeroom was getting lesser and lesser, to the point that she could barely make ends meet.
His scumbag father even suggested that this could not go on and that the entire general’s manor had to start being frugal.
Old Lady Xiao and the others became anxious.
They came here to be head of the general manor and to enjoy their lives. How could they be frugal?
They also felt that the scumbag father was acting a little suspicious and they were afraid that they would be fooled by them.
Hence, they wrote a letter to Shi Qingluo to ask her for more ideas.
Shi Qingluo chuckled lightly. “Of course, I’ll give them some ideas.
“Not to mention that your scumbag father and that woman do have some tricks up their sleeves.
“If Old Lady Xiao wants to manage the household, let her be. When they become poorer, it’s still the old lady’s fault that they were forced to eat and spend prudently.
“When the time comes, the stewards and servants of the general’s residence will definitely have a lot to say about the troublemakers from his hometown.
“Especially when the general’s manor can’t make ends meet, they might even have to borrow money to live.
“Not only could that woman find an excuse to stay away from holding this responsibility, but she also cheated Old Lady Xiao.”
Therefore, she had previously commented that all the troublemakers in the old Xiao family united together were insufficient to tackle that woman.
Old Lady Xiao and the rest probably did not believe it initially, but now that they had first-hand experience, they believed it now.
Xiao Hanzheng had long known that the woman’s scheming methods were formidable.
If Old Lady Xiao and the others continued like this, they would soon become useless and be sent back by his scumbag father and Ge Chunru.
Once they all left, knowing that once they took charge of the house the general’s residence had to borrow money to live, how greedy were they?
If they spread this news out on purpose, many people would probably sympathise with his scumbag father. How did he end up with these troublemakers from his hometown.
His scumbag father would continue to pressure the troublemakers. He would find fault on Eldest Son Xiao and others and then send them back.
“How would you go about doing it?”
Shi Qingluo winked at him. “I guarantee that your scumbag father and the others will smash their own feet with a rock.
“But in order to prevent your scumbag father from forbidding Old Lady Xiao and the others to go out and commit evil deeds in the future, I have to teach them another preventive method.
“I’ll make sure your scumbag father would hope on killing Old Lady Xiao and the others, but he doesn’t dare to move and has to continue coaxing them bitterly.
“Wait for me to finish writing the letter for you to read.”
Seeing his little wife like this, he knew that she came up with “good ideas” again.
“Okay.” He couldn’t help but look forward to it.
Shi Qingluo folded the letter and put it away. “Although Eldest Grandson Xiao is a little stupid, it’s good that he is obedient. Your scumbag father shouldn’t discover that he’s communicating with us for the time being.”
She had taught Eldest Grandson Xiao before the troublemakers of the old Xiao family went to the capital.
After going to the capital, he should find a teahouse or restaurant that wasn’t that big and spend money there almost every day.
He should let his scumbag father think that he loved to eat or drink tea at this kind of place and wouldn’t suspect anything.
When the time was right, he would bribe a waiter to send the letter to the courier station on his behalf. Whenever he did so, he would give him a tip.
Then, she would indicate that teahouse or that restaurant’s address when she mailed a letter back, and let the waiter pass it to Eldest Grandson Xiao.
Second Son Xiao would never expect that his nephew would have the brain to let someone help him deliver the letters from the very beginning.
Xiao Hanzheng agreed, “That’s right. Fortunately, he didn’t think of being a smart aleck.
“Otherwise, my scumbag father is a sceptic. He would definitely find that there is something wrong with the people in the old residence and get someone to keep an eye on them.”
Once Xiao Hanzheng’s scumbag father discovered that Eldest Grandson Xiao frequently wrote to them, especially coming up with ideas to harm the general’s manor, they would definitely take action immediately and intercept the letter.
After all, it was very easy for a senior general to intercept a letter at a courier station.
Not to mention, his wife was too smart. She had practically taken into account everything that would happen when the troublemakers of the old Xiao family went to the capital.
The two of them sat for a while before they got up.
Shi Qingluo went home and wrote the letter first. She came up with a good idea for the Xiao family’s troublemakers and also a good idea to prevent that scumbag father from grounding them from going out.
After she finished writing, she showed it to Xiao Hanzheng.
After Xiao Hanzheng finished reading it, he almost spurted out the tea in his mouth. The smile in his eyes became even more intense. “Little rascal!”
This was a nasty idea. This guaranteed that the scumbag father who was a proud man and that woman would become famous in the capital this time round.
Shi Qingluo was also satisfied with her own ideas. She took the initiative to sit on Xiao Hanzheng’s lap.
One of her hands hooked around his neck. “I know that you like a bad person like me.”
She was clearly a bad person. Although her young husband did not voice his thoughts, he actually liked it.
Xiao Hanzheng did not know whether to laugh or cry. “You!”
He really liked his wife when she was a little mischievous, especially when she was dealing with his scumbag father and that woman.
Although he wasn’t actively involved, he found it very satisfying.
“Spend a little more tomorrow and let the courier station deliver the letter urgently.”
Daliang’s courier station had developed quite well. Spending some money would allow them to enjoy letter delivery service by the courier station.
It was definitely more expensive than letting the caravan or the bodyguards to do it, but it was also faster.
If the price doubled, they could also send an express mail to the capital in less than ten days.
Xiao Hanzheng folded the letter and put it in the envelope. “I think so too.”
They had to send an express mail regardless of the price so that Old Lady Xiao and the rest could let the fun begin earlier.
Else, if the plan was delayed and Xiao Hanzheng’s scumbag father managed to send them back, that wouldn’t be good.
