Xiao Yuanshi suddenly felt dejected.
“Ge Chunru, do you only care about your younger brother and sister?”
Ge Chunru saw that the anger on Xiao Yuanshi’s face had disappeared, but she was not relieved. Instead, she was a little flustered.
“No, you’re the most important person to me,” she quickly replied.
In her heart, Xiao Yuanshi was important, but her brother and sister were equally important.!!
However, she couldn’t say it to him.
Xiao Yuanshi sneered, “You’re full of lies.
“We are already in this situation, and you’re still thinking about how your sister can live a better life in the second prince’s residence.
“But why don’t you think about whether I can live a better life in Northern City?
“What will be the consequences of your actions?”
Ge Chunru became even more flustered. “I, I don’t know about this either.
“I just, just believe that you will handle it well.”
In her heart, Xiao Yuanshi was the most powerful. No matter what happened, he could handle it.
No matter what she did, he would always help her.
That was why she wasn’t so worried.
Xiao Yuanshi took a deep breath. “So you’re saying that I have to return the 50,000 taels of silver? ”
Ge Chunru was flustered and her eyes turned red. “I can’t take it out now.
“You return the 50,000 taels first, and when Chunying gives birth to a son for the second prince and has a firm foothold in the second prince’s estate, I’ll ask her for this sum of money, alright?”
By that time, Xiao Yuanshi would not be lacking in money.
Moreover, once her sister had gained a firm foothold, she would be able to win over the second prince.
How could Xiao Yuanshi be thick-skinned enough to ask her for money?
If he really forced her to return the money, she would borrow from her sister.
Xiao Yuanshi closed his eyes and said, “It’s too late. If you had told me in time that day, I would have gotten someone to send the silver back.
“But it’s useless even if we return 100,000 taels now, let alone 50,000 taels.
“If you’re giving someone a gift in exchange for handling a matter, as time goes past, will you think that the other party have agreed to it?
“Why are you returning the gift after a long time has passed? Are you teasing the person who presented the gift?
Not only will the emperor find out about this, but he will also blame me. I will also offend King Jin. How am I supposed to survive in Northern City?”
Ge Chunru was stunned. “How did this happen? ”
She didn’t think that it would be so serious just by receiving 50,000 silver.
Xiao Yuanshi raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows.
“So you’re the stupid one.
“If you continue to manage the deputy governor’s office continues, it will be finished one day.
“I’ll inform everyone in the deputy governor’s office. From today onwards, you and Liu Ru will exchange your identities.”
Ge Chunru’s eyes shrank. “What do you mean by me and Liu Ru exchanging ourr identities? Explain it clearly.”
If Ge Chunru had been like this in the past, Xiao Yuanshi would have felt heartache or become soft-hearted.
But now, there was only anger. “From today onwards, Liu Ru is the deputy governor’s wife. You are my concubine. Do you understand now? ”
Ge Chunru’s face was blank. “Are you actually demoting me from your wife to a concubine?
“How can you do this to me?”
“Why can’t I?” Xiao Yuanshi asked with a dark face. “You forced me to do this.
“I’ve been emphasizing to you not to plot against Zheng’er and his younger siblings, but you didn’t listen and insisted on causing trouble.
“In the end, you’ve made me a cuckold that the whole capital knows about.
“I told you not to go to the mine, but you didn’t listen and insisted on going. Then you went to Heyang County to cause trouble, and in the end, you provided so many loopholes for the old Xiao family and Shi Qingluo to exploit.
“I told you to come to Northern City and act cautiously and keep a lookout for your subordinates.
“You also ignored me and took 50000 taels of silver from King Jin’s residence behind my back, causing me to be in this dilemma now.
“Tell me, now that the situation has evolved to this stage, are you the one who caused it?”
If it wasn’t for these things, even if Ge Chunru couldn’t give birth to a son, he wouldn’t have thought of demoting her to a concubine.
Ge Chunru was so angry that she raised her trembling hand and pointed at him. “You … you want me to be your concubine? Xiao Yuanshi, you’re not a human.
“You said you would love me and be good to me for the rest of your life, you liar.
“You also said that you wanted to be a good wife and a good mother, but did you do it?” Xiao Yuanshi sneered.
“Even after I demote you from a wife to a concubine, I will still protect you. At least you don’t have live outside and experience hardship.”
Ge Chunru was so angry that she almost went crazy. She couldn’t help but pounce on Xiao Yuanshi and scratch him.
“Xiao Yuanshi, you’re so heartless. I hate you to death.
“You still have the nerve to say this? Don’t think that I don’t know how you tricked my brother to go to the mine.
“I hate you, I hate you to death.”
Hearing this, Xiao Yuanshi couldn’t help but push her down. “It’s about your brother again.
“In your heart, there’s only your younger brother and sister. Since you care so much about them, why don’t you go and live with them?”
She was too cold-hearted. He had done so much, but in Ge Chunru’s heart, he was not as important as her two ungrateful siblings.
Ge Chunru was pushed to the ground.
She sat there crying and said, “Xiao Yuanshi, you’re not a human. You’ve gone too far.
“I don’t want to be demoted to a concubine. I don’t want to.”
Xiao Yuanshi looked at her coldly. “This is not up to you.”
Previously, he felt guilty for making Ge Chunru a concubine.
However, after knowing that Ge Chunru had accepted the 50,000 taels of silver from King Jin’s manor and even used more than half of the money to finance her younger sister from her maternal family, all of his guilt disappeared.
He couldn’t afford to have such a prodigal woman.
Seeing Xiao Yuanshi’s expression, Ge Chunru felt a chill in her heart.
It turned out that he was serious.
He actually wanted to demote his wife to a concubine.
It was useless to make a fuss, and her heart became even more flustered.
She couldn’t help but give in and hug Xiao Yuanshi’s leg. “General, I am wrong. I won’t accept gifts from others anymore. I don’t want to be a concubine. ”
Once, she had almost succeeded in making him demote Mdm Kong from his wife to a concubine.
If this were to happen to her, she didn’t know how Mdm Kong would laugh at her behind her back. It was simply too humiliating.
And she didn’t want to be inferior to that b * tch Tao Liu. She wanted to be the wife of the deputy governor.
Xiao Yuanshi shook his head, “It’s too late.”
Seeing that Xiao Yuanshi did not give in, Ge Chunru looked at him fiercely and cried, “Xiao Yuanshi, I don’t want to be a concubine. I will never admit this identity.”
After Xiao Yuanshi had calmed down, he no longer cared about those feelings.
“Since you don’t want to be a concubine, I’ll give you a divorce letter. You can bring your younger brother and sister and leave the deputy governor’s office.”
He would not change his mind this time.
He said with a cold face, “You can either be a concubine or accept my divorce letter. There is no third option. You can choose.”
Ge Chunru looked at him in disbelief.
How could he treat her like this just for 50,000 taels of silver?
She really wanted to say, “Fine, I’ll divorce you. I’m not afraid of you.”
However, her younger sister had not given birth to a son yet, and she still had to guard against the women in the backyard joining forces to harm her.
If she was divorced, she would implicate her younger sister instead.
Her younger brother could not even protect himself. Without the protection of the deputy governor’s office, it was unrealistic for him to live a good life.
She didn’t have any skills, and she didn’t know how to do business.
If she left the deputy governor’s office, how was she going to live?
It was even more impossible for her to not worry about food and clothing like she was now, and even hold an enviable identity when she went out.
