Chapter 417 - 417 It was really happening again

417 It was really happening again
Xiao Yuanshi took a deep breath and suppressed the urge to kill Shi Qingluo.
“Can Xiao Hanzheng stand you?”
He could not help but ask.
With such a smart and cunning wife who was difficult to handle, wouldn’t he be angered to death?!!
Shi Qingluo rolled his eyes. “Of course he can. He really likes me. And you can stand Ge Chunru. Why can’t Xiao Hanzheng stand me?
“Besides, I treat Xiao Hanzheng differently from outsiders.
“Your chain of thought is shallow, you won’t understand.”
She and her little husband were partners for life. They weren’t as shallow as this scumbag father.
Xiao Yuanshi really wanted to spit at her.
And how was his train of thought shallow?
No, if he continued, he would die of anger.
“You’ve been working for King Jin?” he changed the topic and asked.
“Not exactly.” Shi Qingluo chuckled.
Xiao Yuanshi frowned, “Yes or no, what’s your answer? ”
“I learned this from you,” Shi Qingluo said with a smile. “You clearly have the treasure map, but you insist that you don’t.”
Xiao Yuanshi was speechless. He was going crazy.
His tone became more serious. “I didn’t do it in the first place.”
Shi Qingluo spread her hands out. “Then mine doesn’t count either.”
Xiao Yuanshi couldn’t stand it anymore.
He immediately made a gesture to invite her to leave. “You can go now. Quickly leave.”
He wanted to tell her to get lost, but he was afraid that she would stay and scold him.
Shi Qingluo pursed his lips. “Ex-father-in-law, is this how you treat your guests? You’re too weak.”
This scumbag father’s mental fortitude wasn’t good enough. He couldn’t take it.
Xiao Yuanshi thought to himself, I’m begging you, please be a human.
“I still have things to do, so I won’t keep you,” he continued.
Only then did Shi Qingluo stand up. “Alright, I’ll take my leave then.
“If you have any matters or news, you can also tell us.”
“We can also share some information with you,” she added.
Xiao Yuanshi nodded, “Alright.”
What he felt more aggrieved about was that even though he had gone to the capital and had been at the northern border for quite a long time, he was still not as well-informed as Shi Qingluo and her husband.
This made him pondered further.
In the future, he could exchange information with them that was mixed with partial falsehoods.
“You shouldn’t always be so hostile to me,” he said earnestly.
“Zheng’er and I are both working for the emperor. We’re like ants on the same rope. It’s best if we work together. It’s better than fighting alone. We don’t have any conflict of interest.
“Besides, Zheng’er is my son. I won’t hurt him.”
He was not happy to see his son climb over his head, but he had never thought of killing his son.
Shi Qingluo laughed out loud. “Ex-father-in-law, haven’t you harmed my husband enough?
“I can’t just let go of the fact that your little concubine bribed the doctor and almost caused my husband to die.
“Don’t make it sound so nice.”
She raised her brows again and said, “Also, haven’t you heard of this saying? A grasshopper can’t last more than a few days after autumn.
“So you’re the grasshopper, we’re not.”
Xiao Yuanshi uttered under his breath, this wretched girl never speaks human language.
He had only elaborated briefly, but she could still find so many sentences to refute him. It was too infuriating.
He clutched his chest that was hurting from anger. “You can go.”
Shi Qingluo looked at him behaving like this and smiled, “Ex-father-in-law, if you’re sick, you should go and get treated quickly. Don’t hide your illness and avoid treatment.”
Xiao Yuanshi was so angry that even his liver hurt. “Go go go, you should leave quickly.”
“Alright, then I’ll really be leaving this time.” Shi Qingluo turned around and left with a smile.
Before she left, she had buried the old Xiao family’s mine in this scumbag father and Little Lady Ge’s heart, and she also angered him. Now, she felt very comfortable.
After Shi Qingluo left, Xiao Yuanshi’s anger slowly subsided.
Only Mdm Kong could stand such a daughter-in-law.
However, he attached great importance to the information provided by Shi Qingluo.
He turned around and went to the study room.
He sent out the strongest secret guard that he had never used in secret to keep an eye on the Zhuo family and the embroidery workshop that Madam Zhuo had opened.
Shi Qingluo went back to the courtyard to take a nap.
Xi Rong had not returned during dinner time and she did not want to eat alone.
So, she brought Qingqing out to have some snacks.
As soon as they walked out of the deputy governor’s office, they saw Zhuo Zheng running over with a bag in his arms.
His eyes were shining as he looked at Shi Qingluo. “Sister!”
Looking at Zhuo Zheng, who ran in front of him, Shi Qingluo asked, “Yes?”
Two days ago, Zhuo Zheng had come to return the money.
She had asked Qingqing to take it, but she had not seen him.
She was also pretending not to know Zhuo Zheng.
If he had any more moves, he would definitely continue to strike.
Now, it was really happening again.
“Sister, I’ve run away from home. Can you take me in for a few days?” Zhuo Zheng said with a pitiful face.
Shi Qingluo was speechless. “I don’t think we’re that close. Aren’t you afraid that I’ll sell you out?”
“Sister, you helped me last time, so you must be a good person,” Zhuo Zheng said confidently.
“Also, I’m not a child. A man this old is not worth much. I’m not afraid.”
Shi Qingluo couldn’t be bothered to beat around the bush. “Why did you run away from home? ”
Zhuo Zheng’s face turned bitter. “My mother insisted that I marry my cousin from her maternal family and even brought her over to live with us. I don’t want to marry her, so I don’t want to stay with her.”
He continued to look at her pitifully. “Sister, please take me in for a few days. I’ll give you money.”
Shi Qingluo realized that this fellow was really good at acting. If she did not know his identity, he would have looked really innocent and harmless.
In particular, his pitiful appearance, coupled with his bun-like face, made him look like a cute little puppy in the modern world.
Others couldn’t help but soften their hearts.
Shi Qingluo naturally would not be soft-hearted, but he still expressed her sympathy for him.
“Then you’re really pitiful.”
She spread out her hands. “But I can’t take you in. I’m leaving Northern City tomorrow.”
Zhuo Zheng’s eyes lit up again. “Sister, where are you going? ”
“To Heyang County. My home is there,” Shi Qingluo replied honestly.
“Then you can take me with you. I want to leave Northern City. That way, my mother won’t be able to catch me and force me to get engaged, “Zhuo Zheng said immediately.
Shi Qingluo raised his brows. “You’re going to run so far away. Aren’t you afraid that your mother will be worried and look for you everywhere?”
“I’ve already left a letter to my mother, saying that I’m going to travel. She doesn’t need to send anyone to find me,” Zhuo Zheng replied.
“Sister, I’ve never been to Heyang County before. Can you take me there?”
“I don’t think that’s a good idea,” Shi Qingluo said hesitantly.
“Sister, I won’t give you any trouble,” Zhuo Zheng begged pitifully.
“I have money on me, and I can work. Please take me in.
“I really don’t want to be forced into marriage and ruin my life,” he said bitterly.
Shi Qingluo seemed to have thought about it for a moment, and gave a pitiful expression that suggest that she couldn’t reject him.
She sighed. “Alright, since you’re so pitiful, I’ll take you in for a while.
“Come with us to Heyang County for a few days, then return to Northern City by yourself. I don’t think your mother will force you anymore.”
Zhuo Zheng’s bitter face immediately broke into a big smile, “Thank you, sister.”
“Then I’ll stay at a nearby Inn. Shall I go with you tomorrow?” he tried to ask.
Shi Qingluo nodded her head. “Alright, come and wait for us at the entrance tomorrow morning.”
Zhuo Zheng’s smile was bright. “Sister, you’re the best. See you tomorrow!”
Then, looking happily, he looked left and right as if he was afraid of being discovered, and then sneaked away.
