Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Old Lady Xiao heard Shi Qingluo’s words.
The smile on his face immediately disappeared. He looked at Xiao Yuanshi and said, “Second Son Xiao, are you not welcoming us?”
Xiao Yuanshi was speechless.
He knew it would be like this.
He resisted the urge to hold his forehead. “Mother, how could I not welcome you?!!
“I was thinking of sending someone to bring you and father to Northern City.”
Of course, there was no such thing, but he had to say this to the outside world.
Old Lady Xiao snorted.
“I think after you became a deputy governor, you become more and more powerful.
“You don’t even greet your parents when you just met us, but you expressed concern for your wife.
“Why don’t you see what your wife has done? She…”
Before Old Lady Xiao could finish her words, Xiao Yuanshi immediately came forward to support her. “Mother, you’ve been on the road for so many days. You and father must be tired. Let’s go inside first.”
If she continued to talk like this, his mother would expose what Ge Chunru had done in Heyang County.
He couldn’t afford to be humiliated.
She then looked at Shi Qingluo and Xi Rong. “Zheng’er’s wife, you should bring your friend in too. ”
Shi Qingluo gave a meaningful smile. “Deputy Governor Xiao, are you in such a hurry to let us in because you’re afraid we’ll say something at the gate? ”
Xiao Yuanshi uttered under his breath, I beg you to be a human.
“How could this be? I’ve already prepared some refreshments. Let’s go in first.”
Then, he immediately helped Old Lady Xiao into the deputy governor’s mansion, afraid that his bad daughter-in-law would say something that would embarrass him again.
Shi Qingluo could not help but smile when she saw that that scumbag father looked like he was running away.
Seeing this, Old Master Xiao narrowed his eyes.
His second son was still so concerned about his reputation even when he was at the northern border.
This made things easier.
Then, their whole group entered the mansion.
Xiao Yuanshi’s confidants immediately closed the door, blocking all the curious gazes outside.
After entering the house, Old Lady Xiao shook off Xiao Yuanshi’s hand.
“I don’t need your fake filial piety.”
Xiao Yuanshi looked helpless. “Mother, you just came to Northern City. I didn’t offend you, did I? ”
Old Lady Xiao looked at him with her triangular eyes and said, “You didn’t provoke me, but your wife asked her servant girl to beat me and your father.
“If you didn’t indulge her, would she have the guts to do so?”
Xiao Yuanshi knew that he would face this problem.
He looked at Ge Chunru. “Did you ask your maidservant to hit my parents? ”
Ge Chunru had felt very good when he had been fighting, but now he felt a little guilty.
“General, I wasn’t in the right state of mind at that time, that’s why I did the wrong thing.”
She glanced at Old Master Xiao and Old Lady Xiao.
“I’m willing to apologize to your parents.”
Old Lady Xiao sneered and waved her hand.
“I don’t dare to make a fierce daughter-in-law like you apologize. If you hold a grudge, you might even poison our food.”
Ge Chunru was speechless.
This old woman was looking for trouble as soon as she entered the door. She was too much.
Her eyes were already filled with tears.
Now, she cried out, “Mother, how would I dare to do that?
“I really didn’t mean to let my people hit you. You can hit me or scold me now.”
In front of Xiao Yuanshi, she naturally had to be the weak one.
Shi Qingluo chuckled.
“When you beat up the old lady and old master, you were so arrogant.
“Where’s your ruthlessness then? ”
“That’s right, ” Old Lady Xiao chimed in.
“I don’t dare to hit or scold you. Otherwise, my whole family will die without even knowing how we died.”
Ge Chunru was extremely aggrieved. “I didn’t.”
“Don’t cry all day long,” said Old Lady Xiao with a sullen face.
“You’re making it seem like you are so sad because your husband is dead. No wonder my second son is so unlucky in the capital. It’s all because of you, this jinx.”
Xiao Yuanshi was speechless, what do you mean by “as if your husband is dead”?
His mother actually cursed him like that.
Ge Chunru remained silent. The old woman and the others are the ones who are jinxes.
Shi Qingluo looked at Ge Chunru’s face carefully.
“As expected, the older the ginger, the spicier it is. The old lady is brilliant.
“Not to mention that Little Lady Ge’s face really brings bad luck.”
Old Lady Xiao believed it.
After all, Shi Qingluo was the disciple of the old immortal.
“No wonder my son was transferred back to the capital from the northern borderline after so much difficulty, ”
She said to Ge Chunru. “You’re the bane of his bad luck.
“Your parents died because of you, right?
“My son could have had two more children, but you caused the miscarriages. Your brother’s leg was also broken because of you.”
Then, she looked at Xiao Yuanshi in disdain.
“Second Son Xiao, were you blind back then? Why would you marry such a jinx? ”
Xiao Yuanshi suddenly felt that it made sense.
Then, he immediately shook his head.
How had he almost been led astray by his bad daughter-in-law and biological mother?
However, looking at Ge Chunru’s tear-stained face, he felt that he was a little unlucky.
He had lost his reputation in the capital and was even transferred back to the northern border.
This was mostly because of Ge Chunru.
They had lost so much money and manpower.
Was she really the one causing his tough life?
Ge Chunru was furious.
“Mother, I know I’m wrong, but how can you say that about your daughter-in-law!”
If she carried the reputation of a jinx, how could she face the society?
How would Xiao Yuanshi and her brother and sister see her?
Old Lady Xiao snorted coldly.
“You’re a jinx to begin with, and you don’t even let people talk about it.”
She then suggested, “Second Son Xiao, if this wife doesn’t work out, I will make the decision for you to divorce her.”
This was what Shi Qingluo had taught her. One would advance by retreating first.
Second Son Xiao, this animal, would most likely not agree to Ge Chunru’s request. The reason why he brought it up first was to lay the foundation for his next proposal.
Ge Chunru’s expression changed. She immediately reached out and grabbed Xiao Yuanshi. “General, your mother misunderstood me. I was really wrong about what happened before.”
Although she didn’t think that Xiao Yuanshi would divorce her, she was really afraid that the old woman would do it.
Xiao Yuanshi’s expression was a bit ugly.
Ge Chunru had apologized more than once.
But every time she did so, it would not be long before she acted up again.
It was just that he really couldn’t divorce his wife now.
First of all, this was the wife he had paid such a high price to marry, and he had truly liked her.
If he divorced her now, wouldn’t that mean that he was really blind?
Secondly, he had just arrived in Northern City not long ago.
If he divorced his wife right away, what would others think of him?
He said to the old lady, “Mother, let’s forget about the divorce. If people find out, I will become a laughing stock.”
Old Lady Xiao sneered. “If you divorce your wife, you’ll be laughed at. Then wouldn’t others laughed at the matter of your wife asking someone to beat up her in-laws?
“Oh, I also heard that your wife cheated on you. I can’t believe you can even tolerate that.
“Second Son Xiao, even I look down on you,” she said to Xiao Yuanshi.
No matter what, Second Son Xiao was his son.
If a son was cheated on by his daughter-in-law, the mother would not be happy.
Hearing the old lady’s words, Xiao Yuanshi’s face turned even uglier, and Ge Chunru’s face turned even paler.
How did the old lady know about this?
She looked at Shi Qingluo, her eyes filled with rage.
“Shi Qingluo, are you the one who went to the old lady and slandered me? ”
