In Xiao Yuanshi’s study room.
Shi Qingluo and Xiao Baili followed the butler into the study room.
The two of them greeted him first. “Hello, General Xiao/ex-father-in-law!”
Xiao Yuanshi did not like to hear the words “ex-father-in-law”, but he did not say anything.
Because he knew that no matter what he said, his bad daughter-in-law would refute and rebuke him.!!
With a cold expression, he asked, “What’s the matter?”
Xiao Baili took out a few pieces of paper from her sleeve and handed it over. “General Xiao, your eldest niece schemed against me. Shouldn’t you give me an explanation?”
Xiao Yuanshi did not like his daughter’s attitude.
He first took the paper and looked at it.
After reading it, his brows furrowed.
The paper was full of evidence of how Ge Chunru had conspired with Zheng Tongfeng to scheme against Xiao Baili.
There was also Zheng Tongfeng’s testimony, but he didn’t know where they had gotten it.
After reading these, he had a new understanding of Ge Chunru’s ruthlessness.
She actually wanted Zheng Tongfeng to directly destroy his daughter’s innocence and let the people attending the flower feast see it.
He had originally thought that she had just plotted for Zheng Tongfeng to hug or kiss Baili.
He sighed and asked, “What do you want?”
They had gathered so much evidence before coming here, which meant that the two of them had come prepared.
Xiao Baili did not beat around the bush. “Although this matter did not succeed, it had a psychological impact on it. It made me very afraid of getting married.
“Your eldest niece has caused me a lot of psychological trauma, so you have to compensate on behalf of her.”
Xiao Yuanshi thought to himself, what the hell is a lot of psychological trauma?
He could not help but ask, “I think you’re doing pretty well!”
Xiao Baili’s eyes turned red immediately. “That’s just on the surface. I’m having nightmares every night now, just in case your eldest niece plans to harm me again one day.
“If that’s the case, I might as well shave my head and become a monk first.
“When the time comes, I’ll tell everyone that it’s all because of you, my father who I had broken my family ties with, and your eldest niece.”
Shi Qingluo added, “Then, I’ll bring Baili into the palace and ask the emperor to be the judge.”
She said meaningfully, “When the time comes, perhaps I’ll be able to think of a solution.”
Xiao Yuanshi was speechless.
This was an open threat in the dark.
His daughter was really getting more and more shameless after being brought up by this bad daughter-in-law.
However, he did not dare to not believe Shi Qingluo’s words.
After all, it was after this wretched girl entered the palace to offer a recipe that his position in the Ministry of war was removed.
This time, if she were to come up with a solution that could tempt the emperor and prevent him from going to the northern border, wouldn’t he be crying?
Therefore, he gritted his teeth and asked, “How to compensate?”
Shi Qingluo said, “Fifty thousand taels of silver, not a single cent less.”
Xiao Yuanshi took a deep breath. “You are asking for too much.”
Shi Qingluo looked indifferent. “You don’t have to give it.
“If you don’t give it, then we can only hand this evidence to the capital magistrate and then enter the palace to ask the emperor to be the judge.
“I’m just leaving a path for you, that was why I said that it was to compensate Baili.
“Now that you’re shameless, I’ll make it clear. This is the money to buy evidence about your eldest niece.
“If I hand it over to the capital magistrate, she’ll definitely go to jail.
“We don’t know if your heart will ache.
“But everyone will know that not only were you cuckolded by your petite wife, she also caused others to be sent to prison.
“Then you’ll be famous again in the capital. Aren’t you very happy?”
Xiao Yuanshi uttered under his breath, happy my ass.
With an ugly expression, he said, “I don’t have that much money on me.
“I only have 30,000 taels of silver in my hand now. I’ll give you 30,000 taels.”
Although he had more than 30,000 taels in his hand, he only had 50,000 to 60,000 taels of silver.
If he were to give out 50,000 taels of silver, how would he be able to survive at the northern border?
Shi Qingluo shook her head. “That’s impossible. 50,000 taels, not a cent less.”
She added, “Actually, you don’t have that much silver, but other people have it!”
Her young husband said that it was best to squeeze out most of his money before he went to the northern border.
Only then would his scumbag father go on a treasure hunt.
Xiao Yuanshi was a little puzzled. “Who has it?”
Ge Chunru?
But he had checked before and found that Ge Chunru actually only had a few thousand taels worth of private property in her hands.
The rest of the money was given to that two ingrates.
Shi Qingluo said meaningfully, “Your sister-in-law does!
“She could even do something like coming here to threaten you. Don’t tell me you still have feelings for her?”
Xiao Yuanshi remained silent, was she speaking in human language?
What did he mean by still having feelings for her?
It was as if he had something going on with Ge Chunying.
“Those were already used as her dowry. How could she possibly take them out?”
He had finally seen through Ge Chunying.
Back in the general’s residence, she had deliberately pretended to be obedient and sensible.
However, once her identity was different, she would immediately reveal her true colors.
Therefore, it was absolutely impossible to expect Ge Chunying to take out the money.
Shi Qingluo looked at her scumbag father with a very stupid look. “Ex-father-in-law, where is your usual intelligence?
“Could it be that it was used specifically to plot against your ex-wife and three biological children?”
Xiao Yuanshi was speechless.
He really did not want to deal with this bad daughter-in-law. “If you have something to say, just say it.”
Shi Qingluo pointed at the paper in his hand. “Use this to threaten her!
“She is already smashing you right now. If she really becomes powerful one day, you’ll be crushed to death.
“When that time comes, not only will her sister cause you to be cuckolded, but she’ll also be able to ride on your head.”
Xiao Yuanshi remained silent.
What she said was really unpleasant, but he actually felt that it made sense.
When he thought of Ge Chunying’s face that day, he became angry.
Shi Qingluo continued, “Take this evidence and send someone to find Ge Chunying. You can directly say that we want compensation, or else send this to the magistrate’s office.
“She was also involved in instigating her sister to do such a thing.
“Also, ask her if she is willing to have a sister who is in prison.
“If she still wants to climb up the ranks, then she cannot have a sister who is cheating and is also in prison.
“So, for the sake of her future, there is a high chance that she will help you gather the remaining 20,000 taels.
“Perhaps you can ask her for more. After all, the money in her hands is all given by your petite wife.”
Xiao Yuanshi was about to go to the northern border, so she had to sow discord between him and his sister-in-law.
She couldn’t let her ex-father-in-law become Ge Chunyi’s catalyst, and vice versa.
Moreover, when this scumbag father went to threaten Ge Chunru’s sister and get the money back from her, wouldn’t Ge Chunru not have a knot in her heart when she found out?
With Ge Chunru’s mentality of “it is better to wrong the world than have it wrong me”, she would definitely start to hold a grudge against her husband, Xiao Yuanshi.
This would be even more lively if they went to the northern border.
Therefore, asking for compensation today wasn’t the priority.
The main point was to lay the groundwork for the future dog-eat-dog fight between her ex-father-in-law and Ge Chunru, who loved each other so much.
After hearing her words, Xiao Yuanshi thought deeply for a moment.
“I’ll get someone to ask her.”
He also realized that Ge Chunying was unreliable.
Since that was the case, he would make her bleed.
Moreover, he had always had a knot in his heart.
If Ge Chunying hadn’t come to threaten and hit him that day and instigated Ge Chunru, the scandal of him being cuckolded wouldn’t have happened.
He couldn’t help but blame this ungrateful sister-in-law of his.
