Shi Laosan and his wife knew that Xiao Hanzheng said it was harmful to her body.

They went to the county town to see a doctor before. The doctor also said that Mrs. Niu had been injured because she had given birth to children one after another, so it had been difficult to conceive a child in recent years.

That's why Shi Laosan was so eager to ask the Old Immortal Priest to give his wife a son when he appeared.

And now that he heard Xiao Hanzheng say that his wife can get pregnant as long as she takes the medicine for half a year.

Both of them were very happy: "That's fine, as long as she can give birth."

The two of them had no doubts about Xiao Hanzheng's medical skills.

Didn't they see the nobles in the capital come to this small village to seek medical treatment from Xiao Hanzheng?

If Xiao Hanzheng doesn't have a few brushes, the nobles in the capital will not come to him. They were not fools.

Shi Laosan said: "Then please, son-in-law, you prescribe a prescription. I will go to the county town to get the medicine tomorrow."

Xiao Hanzheng nodded, got up, went to the study, wrote a prescription, and handed it to Shi Laosan.

After getting the prescription, Mrs. Niu suddenly remembered something.

"By the way, the concubine daughter of the Wu Family who is going to marry Shi Laosi has a seductive-looking maidservant. I overheard her maid saying that she was sent from the capital."

When she went to the Wu Family's mansion with her mother-in-law two days ago, she suddenly wanted to go to the latrine and heard Wu Xixi talking.

Shi Qingluo raised an eyebrow and said: "Is there something evil about her?"

Mrs. Niu said: "She looks very timid and makes men unable to walk. At first glance, she looks like an unruly vixen."

"I don't know if it was sent to seduce Shi Laosi."

With Mrs. Niu's mind, she would not have thought that the maidservant was used to deal with her son-in-law.

But the other few people were smart enough.

That maidservant from the capital must have been part of the plan of that woman.

Of course, that woman can't sacrifice a beautiful woman to plot against Shi Laosi.

Shi Qingluo praised Mrs. Niu: "Very good. If you encounter this kind of thing again in the future, just come and tell me."

Then she went to get a pack of toffee and gave it to her: "Take this back to replenish your health."

Mrs. Niu took the candy with a smile: "No problem, I'll tell you if I hear anything in the future."

This girl doesn't seem so annoying anymore.

No matter what, she crawled out of her belly.

As long as they can give birth to a son, the problems of difficult childbirth and restraint will be wiped out.

Shi Laosan and his wife did not stay for long and left quickly.

Fei Yuzhe looked at Shi Qingluo and his wife with some curiosity: "You won't just let it go, right?"

That new wife Xiao Yuanshi was really cruel.

If it were him, he would not forget it.

To ruin your reputation, how can the person involved just let it go?

Xiao Hanzheng had already thought about how to take revenge and went back, with a hint of coldness in his eyes.

He only said one sentence: "If she wants to touch my reverse scale, I will destroy her reverse scale first."

That woman repeatedly tried to harm his wife, and she had already crossed his bottom line.

Originally, he planned to take the exam next year before taking action, but now he can't wait any longer.

That woman placed all her hopes on Ge Chunyi.

She wanted Ge Chunyi to perform meritorious service on the border and return to the capital, right?

Xiao Hanzheng squinted his eyes. Originally, he was planning to wait for Ge Chunyi to achieve success in the frontier before taking action. But now, he wouldn't let him go to the frontier.

For some reason, Fei Yuzhe seemed to feel a chilling air in Xiao Hanzheng.

He didn't ask specifically, but hearing this sentence was enough.

It seems that Xiao Hanzheng was going to take the initiative.

Fei Yuzhe thought more: "If you deal with Xiao Yuanshi and his wife one after another, will it affect and destroy your imperial examination if they know about it?"

If Xiao Hanzheng destroys that woman's reverse scale, he doesn't know if the other party will jump over the wall in a hurry.

Shi Qinglou said: "It's okay, they won't dare."

Fei Yuzhe was a little confused: "Won't dare?"

Isn't it a continuous calculation? How could they not dare?

Shi Qingluo smiled mysteriously, "After next month, they will never dare to touch us easily in a short period."

When the corn matures next month, they will donate the seeds. When it comes to food issues, the Emperor will protect them no matter what.

As long as Xiao Yuanshi has a brain, he can only endure it first and then endure it.

Would he dare to cause trouble with the emperor at a critical moment?

Otherwise, if something happened to them just after they had dedicated their God-given seeds, what would the people in Daliang think of the Emperor?

It has only been a few years since the founding of Daliang, and its foundation was not yet stable.

As long as the Emperor was not a fool, he couldn't kill the donkey.

Xiao Hanzheng naturally thought of it: "Yes, Brother Fei, don't worry, we have a solution."

Fei Yuzhe, who was about to ask if he wanted help, swallowed what he was about to say.

In front of Xiao Hanzheng and his wife, it seems that it was not easy to give favors.

But he was more curious, what method did Xiao Hanzheng and his wife use to force Xiao Yuanshi and his wife to dare not take action for the time being?

Otherwise, once Liang Youxiao and Xi Rui get involved, Xiao Yuanshi's intelligence will be able to guess what Shi Qinglou and the two were doing behind the scenes.

Liang Youxiao stayed in Xiaxi Village for a while and started causing trouble after returning to the capital. It cannot be such a coincidence.

If any of that woman's reverse scales were lost, she might also think it has to do with Xiao Hanzheng and his wife.

So how could those two people still hold it back?

Just looking at Shi Qingluo, they were unwilling to say anything. No matter how curious he was, it was inconvenient to ask.

The only thing he could do was to wait and see the show, which wouldn't be long anyway.

The next day, Xiao Hanzheng said he had to go to Fucheng for a few days because of something.

Shi Qingluo didn't ask her husband what he was going to do, but she knew that he was going to fight back, and that was enough.

Her husband said she was his sweetheart, making her very happy.

Fei Yuzhe also guessed that Xiao Hanzheng was going out to cause trouble this time, and he was waiting to watch the show.

Xiao Hanzheng went to Fucheng and came back three days later.

Liang Youxiao's letter was also brought back from the county seat.

He and Shi Qingluo read it together.

Shi Qingluo chuckled and said: "No wonder Liang Youxiao wants to go into business, he has the potential to be a profiteer!"

"The Emperor's uncle takes the bait and is about to take action."

Xiao Hanzheng chuckled: "He can be regarded as a rare species among the dandies."

Shi Qingluo agreed: "Indeed."

Other dudes just want to eat, drink, have fun, and rely on their family to win salted fish. Only Liang Youxiao has always had the ambition to start a big business.

Shi Qingluo chuckled: "Looking at this letter, they will take action next month, and our corn will mature at just the right time."

Xiao Hanzheng smiled knowingly and squeezed her hand: "Indeed."

Half a month later, Ge Chunru sent her brother out of the capital in tears.

In addition to being reluctant to give up, she was also looking forward to her brother coming back after achieving a great career and rebuilding the former glory of the Ge family.

A few days later, Ge Chunru was in a good mood, listening to music in the backyard.

Suddenly, the housekeeper hurried in.

Ge Chunru asked displeased: "What's going on? Why are you panicking?"

The housekeeper gasped and said bravely: "Madam, the young master had one of his legs chopped off after leaving the capital. He will be sent back to the general's mansion now."

Ge Chunru's face changed drastically, with a look of disbelief: "What? How is that possible?"

Then she stood up suddenly but felt dizzy, her vision went dark, and she fainted.

Ge Chunru woke up and saw Xiao Yuanshi sitting by the bed.

She stood up in a hurry, but was hugged by Xiao Yuanshi: "The doctor said you had fetal bleeding before, so be careful."

Ge Chunru was stunned when she heard this: "What? You mean I'm pregnant?"

To give Xiao Yuanshi enough reason to demote his wife as a concubine, she could only use the fetus in her belly as a bargaining chip.

But the moment the child was lost, her heart ached, and she felt even more resentment towards Mrs. Kong.

However, she has no regrets. If it hadn't happened, she wouldn't be Xiao Yuanshi's first wife, and that would have been unfair.

She was naturally pleasantly surprised when she suddenly had another child.

Xiao Yuanshi looked at Ge Chunru's belly with a gentle expression: "Yes, we are going to have a baby."

He was looking forward to this child very much.

Ge Chunru was happy at first, but then her expression suddenly changed.

She grabbed Xiao Yuanshi and asked: "General, was I dreaming before? The housekeeper said that someone chopped off my brother's leg. This is not true, is it?"

Xiao Yuanshi hesitated for a moment, wondering whether to tell his little wife the truth.

After all, the doctor said that she had been stimulated just now, which caused the pregnancy to be unstable.

But his hesitation was understood by Ge Chunru, who knew him very well.

"Where is my brother? Where is my brother?" She asked anxiously, pulling on Xiao Yuanshi's clothes.

Xiao Yuanshi sighed: "I asked the imperial doctor to bandage his wound, and he fell asleep after drinking the medicine."

He was screaming in pain before, so he asked the imperial doctor to give his brother-in-law a drowsy medicine.

Ge Chunru opened the quilt and said: "I want to go see him."

Xiao Yuanshi also knew how much his wife valued his younger brother, so he helped her stand up and said: "I'll take you to see him."

The two went to Ge Chunyi's yard.

As soon as she entered the room, Ge Chunru smelled the smell of blood.

Seeing her brother lying asleep on the bed with a pale face, she felt so distressed that tears welled up in her eyes.

With trembling hands, she opened the quilt and saw that the calf of his brother's left leg was missing, and the cloth wrapped in it was stained red with blood.

"Ah!" She couldn't hold it back and screamed in anger.

Xiao Yuanshi immediately went over and hugged the person: "The imperial doctor said everything will be fine."

Ge Chunru turned her head and looked at him with tears on her face, "Everything will be fine? His legs were chopped off. How can you say it's okay?"

"Who did it? Tell me who did it?" She was almost losing her mind.

In the previous dynasty, the Ge Family was wealthy, but later the war forced them to live in seclusion in the village.

She was born in the village, but she often heard her father talk about the glory of their family.

So their father took the initiative to go to the battlefield, hoping to use his military exploits to climb up the ranks, but unfortunately, he died on the battlefield.

Before her father went to the battlefield, he held her hand and asked her to promise to take good care of her brother.

Let her younger brother carry forward the Ge Family and rebuild it into a prosperous and prosperous family.

The rest of the Ge family died in the war, and now only three siblings were left.

The younger brother was the only male in the Ge Family and the only hope of the Ge Family.

She also wanted to wait for her brother to return after making great military exploits, and slap those in the capital who said he had bad conduct.

But now it's over, it's all over.

Having lost one leg and a disabled right hand, it was impossible to take the imperial examination or join the army.

That's why Ge Chunru lost her composure and looked crazier than ever before.

Xiao Yuanshi couldn't help but frown slightly: "My people said that after they left the capital, they met a group of merchants on the road."

"Your brother showed contempt for those people, and when they were unhappy, they called your brother a pretty boy."

"Then your brother took the initiative to fight with the other party."

"Who would expect that, in a fit of rage, someone pulled out a knife from the cart and chopped off your brother's leg?"

"Those people probably didn't expect that they would cut off his leg directly, so they ran away without even asking for the goods."

According to the person he sent to see off his brother-in-law, Ge Chunyi was responsible for this incident.

They can just go on their way. Why does he have to despise others? He even took the initiative to send people to start a fight after a quarrel. Then someone chops off his leg. He asked for it.

He also knew that he was expelled from the academy and was beaten by Xi Rui. His brother-in-law has been holding his breath recently.

His brother-in-law probably thought that the other party was just a lowly merchant, so he couldn't help but want to take it out on him.

Who knew he would meet a ruthless person and lose his leg?

At the same time, his brother-in-law also lost his future for the rest of his life.

He finally managed to place people in a position where it was easy to make military exploits, but it was a pity that his brother-in-law lost his future.

Xiao Yuanshi was also very angry about this matter. All his previous investment in his brother-in-law was in vain.

Ge Chunru grabbed Xiao Yuanshi: "Have those people caught those villains?"

Xiao Yuanshi looked a little ugly: "They all run away."

Ge Chunru cried: "Why are the people you sent so useless? They can't even catch a single person."

"It must have been intentional. Those people must have been sent by others to harm my brother on purpose."

Her hair was messy, her face was pale, and her eyes were red and swollen. She grabbed Xiao Yuanshi with a look of madness: "Did Xi Rui do it? Or Xiao Hanzheng."

"You must help my brother, you must avenge him!"

Xiao Yuanshi looked at her crazy look and frowned again: "Xi Rui has already disabled your brother's hand, so he wouldn't take action again."

"It's even more impossible for Zheng'er. He is a young scholar. Even if he wants to do such a thing, he is not that capable."

Ge Chunru looked at Xiao Yuanshi and hissed: "Then it's Xi Rui who did. Only the Xi Family has the ability."

Although she lost her composure, her rationality was still there, so she didn't say anything about her plot against Xi Rui.

Therefore, the suspect in her mind was Xi Rui.

After all, Xiao Hanzheng couldn't know when her brother would leave the capital, where he would pass, etc., or to find someone to do such a thing.

The Xi family was different.

The most important thing was that she plotted against Xi Rui not long ago. If the Xi Family finds out about it, they will have a reason to do such a thing.

Xiao Yuanshi was not happy that his wife was so rude because of her brother. In his heart, he should be the most important person in Ge Chunru's heart.

She has always said this before. She adores and loves him. He was also her life and her most important support.

But when he thought that she was pregnant, he didn't blame her. Instead, he held her in his arms and said: "I will check it out, don't worry."

"You take good care of yourself first, don't worry about this, leave it to me." He reassured.

By this time, Ge Chunru had calmed down a lot. She hugged Xiao Yuanshi and said, "Go and check the Xi Family. I think it was Xi Rui who did it."

"There is only one man left in our Ge family, but he was ruined like this. How will I explain this to my deceased parents?" She cried deliberately again.

Sure enough, after hearing this, Xiao Yuanshi's previous discomfort disappeared.

"Okay, I'll check it out." He patted her back gently.

He also felt that this incident might not be an accident. After all, the merchants ran so fast that even his people could not catch up.

It would make sense if the Xi Family took action.

In any case, he was going to check it out.

Xi Rui was so narrow-minded that he still refused to let go even after his brother-in-law's hand was crippled. This made him very angry.

If it was the Xi Family who did it, he would find an opportunity to settle the score in the future. He can't directly compete with the Duke Family for the sake of his brother-in-law.

Xi Rui, at this time, was drinking and making dirty jokes with the emperor's uncle.

At this time, he didn't know that he was helping Xiao Hanzheng take the blame…

Xi Rui and the emperor's uncle were sitting in a private room drinking.

The emperor's uncle kept telling Xi Rui about his hobbies.

Xi Rui responded on the surface, but inwardly he rolled his eyes.

Xi Rui curled his lips and said: "These men look like girls."

The emperor's uncle raised an eyebrow: "You guys haven't even grown your hair yet, so who do you think it's girly?"

Xi Rui did not talk about Xiao Yuanshi at the beginning but praised several imperial guards.

These people all have family backgrounds, but he knows them all and has a good relationship with them, so even if the news spread, it would be treated as a joke.

The emperor's uncle laughed and said: "Then you should get rid of this idea as soon as possible. These people have never heard of any problems."

He pointed to the sky and said: "And if you dare to move the imperial guards, your cousin will not spare you."

The Empress Dowager was the sister of Duke Xi, and the Emperor was Xi Rui's cousin.

This little playboy has a sweet mouth and can not only make the Empress Dowager happy but also make the Emperor happy.

Otherwise, if the princess's hair was burned, others would have died countless times, but this guy was still alive and well.

Xi Rui snorted: "I didn't want to touch them in the first place."

He leaned over and whispered: "By the way, I heard something. They said that Xiao Yuanshi is just like you secretly."

The emperor's uncle was stunned for a moment: "Is it true or not? It doesn't look like it!"

Xi Rui said: "According to reliable information, it is true."

"And do you know why he doesn't take concubines? It's just to cover up."

The emperor's uncle said unconvincingly: "I haven't heard that he has close contact with anyone outside!"

Xiao Yuanshi was handsome and elegant, with a good appearance and temperament.

He used to just look at it and admire it, but he didn't think anything of it.

Although he was an old dude, he still has principles in doing things and will never force anyone.

Otherwise, the Emperor would have called him into the palace and scolded him long ago.

Xi Rui knew that he wouldn't believe it, so he said with a mysterious face: "I heard that the person is Ge Chunyi. Of course, others can't tell."

This was what Liang Youxiao asked him to spread rumors…

"Didn't you see that he doesn't support anyone in the Xiao Family, but he helped his brother-in-law time and time again?"

"He is so nice to his brother-in-law. Are you nice to your brother-in-law?"

The emperor's uncle has a wife.

The emperor's uncle looked shocked: "Ah, so it has something to do with that pretty boy?"

Xiao Yuanshi has indeed been training his brother-in-law, and those who don't know think he was his biological brother.

The emperor's uncle himself and his elder brother, nor brother-in-law, were relatively cold. They were not even very harmonious.

So he suddenly felt that there seemed to be something wrong with Xiao Yuanshi.

If it were anyone else, he would not believe it, but the emperor's uncle took it seriously and believed it.

Xi Rui: "…"

I just said that casually, and you believed it.

Come on, the explanation he originally came up with seemed will be useless.

"There is a servant in my family, his relative works as an errand boy in the General's Mansion. I heard it from him, so it should not be wrong."

The emperor's uncle touched his chin and sighed, "No wonder I haven't heard of it."

Seeing that something was going on, Xi Rui walked over and said, "I heard today that his brother-in-law had his leg chopped off."

Hearing the news, he felt very happy. He wondered, who did the good deeds to eliminate harm for the people!

He was more disgusted with Ge Chunru and her brother than Xiao Yuanshi.

In the past, when Ge Chunyi was in the academy, he didn't get along with these dudes. He looked at them as if they had eaten his rice and looked at them like rice bugs.

If Ge Chunyi didn't have Xiao Yuanshi's support, he would be nothing.

He said blindly: "The general is in a bad mood now, so it's the right time to take action."

The emperor's uncle looked at Xi Rui with a half-smile, "I heard that you and Xiao Yuanshi haven't gotten along well. Not long ago, you even broke my brother-in-law's hand."

The dandies who were able to get along well in the capital and live a leisurely and happy life few of them were stupid.

They all have their way of living. It was clear who should be offended and who should not be offended, what kind of things can be done, and what kinds of things cannot be done.

The current Emperor was a wise king who worked hard to govern the country. If the emperor's uncle behaves randomly all day long and robs women and men of the people, even if the Emperor doesn't kill him because of his past friendship, he will never spare him.

This brat kept encouraging himself, and his purpose was not simple.

Xi Rui didn't hide it, either: "Yes, I have grudges against Xiao Yuanshi and his brother-in-law."

"So I am very happy to see Xiao Yuanshi defeated."

No one was stupid, so it was boring to be secretive.

He had this purpose in mind.

The emperor's uncle was a little tempted.

He shook his head and said: "Xiao Yuanshi will not agree."

That person's character was relatively strong at first glance, and he has strong self-esteem.

Xi Rui said with a smile: "Liang Youxiao got a bottle of medicine back from other places."

"If it happens, it's Xiao Yuanshi who took the initiative, and it's none of your business."

"At that time, you will be the victim."

This trick was taught to him by Liang Youxiao, who asked him to use it to confuse right and wrong.

It was said that he learned it from seeing others doing this with his own eyes.

He felt that this move was particularly perfect and could solve everything right away.

The emperor's uncle's smile deepened: "You're a very bad boy!"

But he likes this kind of bad idea.

At that time, even if the news reaches the Emperor, he will be able to speak out as a victim.

The main thing was that Xiao Yuanshi was just a general from a poor family without much foundation. Even if he offends him, it wouldn't be a big deal for dudes like them with strong backgrounds.

If it were someone with a big background, the emperor's uncle would refuse without hesitation.

"We can do this." He waved to the emperor's uncle.

The emperor's uncle also leaned closer to listen.

Soon the two of them burst into a sly laughter.

The emperor's uncle was unwilling to break his principles, so he didn't care about other things.

Xi Rui also didn't want to ask others to contribute and bear the risk alone, so he agreed to leave the previous matters to him.

Xiao Yuanshi's brother-in-law despised him, and his wife plotted against him so that he might not be able to find a good wife.

Then there was nothing wrong with him getting it back from Xiao Yuanshi, the guy who supported his opponents.

Who allowed Xiao Yuanshi to marry such a disaster and bring it back to his home?

Hmm, thinking about it like this, his psychological burden was gone.

In the next few days, under Ge Chunru's cry and begging, Xiao Yuanshi not only invited the best doctor in the capital to look at his brother-in-law's legs.

He also used a favor to invite an imperial doctor who was good at this field to come.

And among the dandies in the capital, a rumor began to spread.

Weiyuan General Xiao Yuanshi secretly had the same hobby as the emperor's uncle.

He has long been related to Ge Chunyi.

There were still many people who didn't believe it before, but seeing Xiao Yuanshi running around seeking medical treatment for his brother-in-law who had a broken leg, the people who didn't believe it gradually began to believe it.

Which brother-in-law would be so interested in his brother-in-law?

This was Shi Qingluo's instigation to Liang Youxiao to spread the news on purpose. Of course, he had to lay the groundwork to cause trouble.

She also doesn't want to harm Liang Youxiao, Xi Rui, and the old dandy emperor uncle by trying to deal with her scumbag father.

If it were rumored that Xiao Yuanshi had problems of his own and was constantly involved with Ge Chunyi, gossipers would find it irritating.

The more people talk about it, the more it will gradually become like seeing a fact instead of just hearing it.

It was like there was no road in the first place, but when more people walked on it, it became a road.

Yes, it was Shi Qingluo's idea to spread rumors that Xiao Yuanshi and Ge Chunyi were related.

This can also make that woman and her brother feel disgusted, as well as Xiao Yuanshi.

Then Liang Youxiao encouraged Xi Rui again, and Xi Rui made it up to the emperor's uncle.

Xiao Yuanshi hasn't noticed yet, but his big gossip in the capital has spread more and more widely.

After Xiao Hanzheng's people heard about it, they spread the news among the people in the capital.

Even some old veterans in the court heard what the younger members of the family said.

They didn't believe anything without evidence, but they still had doubts.

Because of this, the look in their eyes while staring at Xiao Yuanshi's eyes was a little more meaningful.

When Xiao Yuanshi went to court for the past two days, he always received some strange looks at him. He was baffled.

After returning home, his wife pestered her to investigate the matter and find the best medical doctor for her brother.

The same goes for his brother-in-law, who became extremely sinister, begging for revenge, and insisting that it was Xi Rui who did it.

He was particularly troubled.

So that day, some colleagues from the Ministry of War made an appointment to go drinking together, so he went.

It happened that the emperor's uncle came to drink with a group of dandies, including Xi Rui and Liang Youxiao.

How could these two people miss the big show? Of course, it would be exciting to see it with your own eyes.

The people on both sides said hello downstairs and then went to their respective private rooms.

The waiter quickly brought the wine, placed wine glasses, and poured wine for Xiao Yuanshi and others.

There was a small layer of white powder in Xiao Yuanshi's cup, but because the inside of the wine cup was also made of white porcelain, people couldn't see it without paying attention.

The waiter quickly poured the wine, and the white powder instantly melted into the wine.

The waiter withdrew. Xiao Yuanshi and several colleagues raised their glasses and drank the wine in one breath.

Because he was not in a good mood, he drank a glass, one after another.

While drinking, he felt his body was a little warm and the room was stuffy.

He felt uncomfortable and wanted to go out for some air, so he said: "I'll go out and get some air."

A few people thought he was going to the hut, so they smiled and said: "Go."

Xiao Yuanshi stood up, his face was a little red, and he looked like he was drunk, which did not arouse anyone's suspicion.

The private room here opened, and soon Liang Youxiao followed and knocked on their private room a few times.

Xi Rui immediately pushed the emperor's uncle: "Do you want to go to the latrine?"

The emperor's uncle understood: "Go!"

So the two of them walked to the hut together, arm in arm, and the other dandies didn't think much about it.

Liang Youxiao picked up the wine glass and took a sip, hiding the smile on his lips.

This restaurant was very large, with a restaurant in the front, an inn in the backyard, a large garden, and several public huts.

Whether it is people who eat in restaurants or people who stay in inns, they always come to the garden when they want to go to the hut.

Xiao Yuanshi went downstairs and walked to the garden to get some air, feeling increasingly uncomfortable.

He felt something was not right, his consciousness gradually became blurred, and he only wanted to do one thing.

At this time, the emperor's uncle also came downstairs. Xi Rui said with a smile: "You go to the latrine first. I drank too much and felt dizzy. I will stand and rest here for a while before I go."

He had already seen Xiao Yuanshi's eyes blurred in the yard, but he didn't dare to go there.

The emperor's uncle gave him a look that made him understand: "Okay, I'll go then."

He walked towards Xiao Yuanshi.

This way was also the way to the hut.

At this time, Liang Youxiao also pulled the other two dudes down to get some air.

The show has begun, so of course, he has to go see it quickly and take the opportunity to spread the word.

He happened to meet one of Xiao Yuanshi's colleagues and called him.

When the emperor's uncle arrived in front of Xiao Yuanshi, he smiled and said hello: "General Xiao, you come to the latrine too!"

Xiao Yuanshi's eyes were dazzled now, and he saw a woman appearing before him and laughing with him.

After looking at the person carefully, she was not his cute wife.

Instinctively, he stepped forward grabbed the person, and then pulled the person into a guest room next to the garden.

Xi Rui smacked his mouth when he saw this.

Fortunately, he didn't go there just now.

Liang Youxiao also lamented the same.

At this time, Xiao Yuanshi's colleagues saw the scene just now: "Who did General Xiao drag to the room just now?"

One of the dandies said: "Looking at his attire, he is the emperor's uncle."

Colleagues were puzzled: "Why did he drag the emperor's uncle to his room?"

The dandy shrugged: "Who knows, maybe they have something to talk about?"

"Let's go and drain our water first."

So a few people went to the hut first.

After coming out of the hut, they were about to go back upstairs, but they heard the emperor's uncle shouting from the guest room.

"What do you want to do?"

"Don't go too far, or I'll beat you up."

"If you keep doing this, I won't be kind."

"You forced me to do it."

Then there was the sound of tables, chairs, and benches falling to the ground, and the two seemed to be fighting.

The person who heard these words had a black line in his head: "…"

What the hell is going on?

Xiao Yuanshi was so courageous that he dared to beat the emperor's uncle.

No one thought about other aspects.

Liang Youxiao has no choice but to set the pace by himself.

"It sounds like something is wrong!"

One dude said: "I feel something is wrong, too. What are they doing?"

Liang Youxiao was suddenly startled: "I recently heard a rumor that General Xiao has the same hobby as the emperor's uncle."

"And recently his brother-in-law's leg was chopped off, and he was extremely anxious."

"He wouldn't have vented his anger on the emperor's uncle just now, right?"

The other people all widened their eyes: "Really?"

Xi Rui came over at this time and said, "Let's go and see."

Xiao Yuanshi's colleague was a more upright gentleman: "Isn't this bad?"

Xi Rui smiled and said: "What's wrong with that?"

"Let's go!"

As soon as he took the lead, Liang Youxiao and the two dandies also started making noises.

Several people walked to the door of the room without pushing the door open.

Xi Rui poked the paper on the window with his finger and leaned over to take a look.

After looking inside, he said with a tone of disbelief: "Oh my god, I didn't expect the rumors to be true!"

When Xi Rui said this, Liang Youxiao and the other two dandies couldn't hold back. They all stretched out their fingers to poke open the paper on the window to look at it.

"I didn't expect it to be true. I always thought the rumors were false."

"Tsk, tsk, General Xiao is too brave to dare to do this to the emperor's uncle."

Xiao Yuanshi's colleague was very curious after hearing what these people said.

In the end, he was forced by Liang Youxiao to come over and say: "Come and take a look too."

Then he looked very reluctant, and with curiosity in his heart, he approached the window paper that Liang Youxiao had poked and looked at it.

After seeing the scene in the room, he had a dull look on his face, and then immediately backed away.

There was a hint of embarrassment on his face: "Well, I didn't see anything."

Although he was in the Ministry of War, he was a civilian official.

At this moment, the elegant and straightforward image of Xiao Yuanshi in his heart suddenly collapsed.

"Stop looking, let's go." He said to several dandies.

Xi Rui waved his hand: "You go upstairs first, and we'll take a look."

The colleague: "…"

Xiao Yuanshi was too careless, and he was seen by these few dudes who didn't think it was a big deal.

He could imagine what the news in the capital would be like tomorrow.

No, he has to stay away from Xiao Yuanshi in the future, otherwise, others might think badly of him.

He didn't care about the few dandies and went upstairs by himself.

Then he looked uneasy. When other colleagues saw that Xiao Yuanshi had not come back, some said they wanted to look for him.

The colleague thought for a while and said, "Don't go, he's busy right now."

"What do you mean?" Others were puzzled.

The colleague couldn't hold it back and told several people what he saw.

A few people were completely stunned they didn't expect such a thing.

Some were very curious in their hearts, so they said that they wanted to go down and take a look.

Some people said they wanted to go to the hut, while others also said they wanted to go.

So the group of people went downstairs and saw several dandies gathering at the door of a room.

They pretend to go over and ask what happened.

Liang Youxiao and Xi Rui took these people and looked at the scene inside.

Seeing is believing. After looking, they were shocked.

They felt embarrassed to stay, so they all made excuses and ran away.

After a while.

Seeing that the emperor's uncle hadn't come out yet, Liang Youxiao and Xi Rui looked at each other and left with the other two people.

Then everyone spread the news together.

Who knows how long it took, but when Xiao Yuanshi opened his eyes, he felt something was wrong. He sat up suddenly.

He was stunned for a moment and heard a snoring sound next to him.

Then he looked over and saw an old man, the emperor's uncle. ˆ

He felt like his brain exploded.

He couldn't help but kick the emperor's uncle to the ground.

The emperor's uncle also woke up and saw Xiao Yuanshi's eyes were red and looked like he was going crazy. Then he shouted at him: "What did you do?"

The emperor's uncle responded quickly, with a look of aggrieved and confidence on his face: "Why are you asking me?"

"I went to the hut and saw you standing in the garden, and said hello to you."

"Who knew you would pull me in here?"

"I disagreed, but you suppressed me with force."

"I can't defeat you, I can only fulfill your wish."

Xiao Yuanshi still had the impression that he went to the garden, and then he thought about it deeply. He seemed to see his wife, and then he stepped forward and pulled her.

Gradually, the previous events came to mind.

At this moment, he also realized that he was being harmed.

He stared at the emperor's uncle with anger in his eyes, as if he wanted to kill him: "Did you trick me?"

The emperor's uncle was startled by his appearance. Didn't people say he was gentle and elegant?

But he quickly glared over: "Xiao Yuanshi, you are not human. You bullied me, but you're saying that I tricked you?"

He said very confidently: "I can't do such a thing."

That thing was not planted by him in the first place, so he was not afraid.

Seeing the emperor's uncle like this, Xiao Yuanshi was dubious. If it wasn't this bastard who did it, who was it?

No matter what, he wanted to beat this old uncle to death right now.

The emperor's uncle felt a crisis: "Xiao Yuanshi, why are you looking at me like that? I am the victim. If you dare to attack me, I will go to the palace to find the emperor to seek justice."

Xiao Yuanshi: "…"

Right, you are the victim.

He had already developed murderous intentions, but when he heard the word "Emperor" from the emperor's uncle's mouth, his sanity was instantly brought back.

He clenched his hands into fists and calmed down for a moment before suppressing the killing intent.

Then he looked at the emperor's uncle with a very dangerous look, "I don't want any third person to know about this."

"Otherwise I will kill you, or we will die together."

The emperor's uncle suddenly felt a little cold on his back. It could be seen from this guy's eyes that he wanted to kill him.

He swallowed his saliva and said: "I will not spread the word."

But if those little bastards go out and talk about it, he can't blame him.

It seems that he will have to hide in his mansion for a few days, and he needs to bring more guards when he goes out.

After all, it was not worth it if Xiao Yuanshi killed him in anger.

Seeing that he agreed, Xiao Yuanshi left with a gloomy face.

He kept telling himself not to care, but his heart was still full of hostility, anger, and the urge to destroy the world.

Xiao Yuanshi pretended that nothing happened and returned to the private room.

Unexpectedly, several colleagues have already left.

Who knows why, but he had an indescribable bad feeling in his heart.

He didn't stay any longer and went directly back to the general's residence.

As soon as he sat down, Ge Chunru came in with red eyes.

Xiao Yuanshi was very upset now. Seeing her like this, he couldn't help but frown and ask: "What's wrong with you?"

Especially seeing her now.

He couldn't help but think that he had been dazzled before and thought that the emperor's uncle was her, which was a bit disgusting.

Ge Chunru also noticed that Xiao Yuanshi was in a bad mood, so she changed what he was about to say: "I just feel uncomfortable seeing my brother in his current state."

Xiao Yuanshi took a deep breath and said: "The situation is already like this. It's useless for you to keep feeling uncomfortable."

"It's better to take care of the baby in your belly first."

"When he gets better, I'll find a way to arrange an errand for him."

This time, because of his broken leg, he can't do any errand well.

Ge Chunru felt a sharp pain in her heart, but she could only nod her head: "Then I'll trouble the general."

She asked: "Are you in a bad mood?"

Xiao Yuanshi said: "I encountered some troubles at the Ministry of War."

Not long after he joined the Ministry of War, he served concurrently as a minister. It was a position with real power.

The title general also sounded good. Although this rank was higher than that of the minister, once he handed over his military power, he would become an idle person.

Hence, he tried to win a position in the Ministry of War.

Hearing what he said, Ge Chunru didn't ask any more questions.

She knew that this man was mighty and did not like women interfering in his official affairs.

So she asked the maid to present the freshly made soup: "Thank you for your hard work, General. This is the chicken soup I specially ordered for you. You can have a bowl."

Xiao Yuanshi took the chicken soup and lost his appetite when he saw the oil in the bowl.

"I drank too much wine before, let's drink it later." He put the bowl on the table.

Seeing that she was about to speak, he said first: "I'll go to the study to work. You can go back to your room and rest."

Ge Chunru could only swallow her words about asking Xiao Yuanshi if he had found out who harmed her brother: "General, please do your business first."

When Xiao Yuanshi went to the study, she sent another can of chicken soup to Ge Chunyi's yard.

After pushing the door open, she saw her younger sister, with red eyes, trying to comfort her irritable younger brother.

Ge Chuyi stood up with an elegant look and said: "Sister, you're here!"

Seeing that her sister was looking more and more like a lady from an aristocratic family, with a beautiful and dignified appearance, Ge Chunru's eyes showed a bit of relief, "I came to see Chunyi."

Ge Chuyi nodded and said no more.

Ge Chunyi was half lying on the bed and asked with a ferocious expression: "Sister, have you found out who harmed me?"

Ge Chunru felt sad: "Your brother-in-law is still checking, it will be soon."

Ge Chunyi wished he could take his sword and chop Xi Rui in half right now, "It must be Xi Rui who did it. There is no need to investigate further."

Ge Chunru reached out and pinched his shoulder: "If it is Xi Rui who did it, don't worry, I will not let him go."

No matter who harmed her brother, she would never let that person go.

At this moment, Ge Chuyi, who was silent, said: "Sister, the second prince wants to take a side concubine, please ask my brother-in-law to send me there."

Ge Chunru was stunned: "What?"

Ge Chuyi looked up at her, "I said, I want to go to the Second Prince's Mansion to be a side concubine."

Ge Chunru looked at her sister with some confusion: "Have you thought about it?"

"Aside concubine is also a concubine. It's better to be a regular wife, I will ask your brother-in-law to help you find a good family."

She loved her two younger siblings.

Ge Chuyi laughed, raised her finger, and pointed to the sky: "If one day the second prince reaches that point."

She added: "Then I am no longer a concubine."

She knew in her heart that although she had the support of the General's Mansion, how could she, a woman with both parents dead and no family background, marry into a good and powerful family and become the official wife?

She might as well give it a try.

The Emperor's concubine was also a concubine, but who dares to say that she was a mere concubine?

Ge Chunru didn't expect her to be so ambitious: "But what if he didn't get to that point in the end?"

Ge Chuyi smiled and said: "I will also be a concubine. I won't be underestimated when I go out."

She was fed up with being looked down upon and not fitting into the circle because of her low status.

"You sent me to learn etiquette before, didn't you just want me to marry an extraordinary family in the future?"

Otherwise, why would she want her to learn the etiquette of women from aristocratic families?

She was not in the General's Mansion before but was sent to a place in the capital, where she was taught etiquette by her sister for half a year.

Who would have thought that as soon as she got home two days ago, she heard that my brother's leg had been chopped off and that the person suspected was a dandy from the Duke's mansion?

At that moment, all her ambitions were ignited.

If she could stand in a high place, would Xi Rui still dare to attack her brother?

If she had the power in her hands, why would she need to ask her brother-in-law to help investigate and take revenge?

And if she stands at a high place in the future, why should her sister be afraid of Xiao Hanzheng? She can crush him to death with one hand.

Ge Chunru felt like she was meeting her sister for the first time, but she fell into deep thoughts.

Having scheming skills and ambitions was better than a simple white rabbit, otherwise, people would not even know if they would be eaten.

If her sister had a temperament like Mrs. Kong's, then she would rather her sister be ruthless.

Ge Chunru asked: "Why do you want to choose the second prince? The position of the eldest prince's side concubine is also vacant."

She didn't want her sister to marry into an ordinary family, so she sent her sister to learn etiquette.

That's right. Instead of marrying into an ordinary powerful family and becoming a regular wife, it is better to marry a prince.

With good luck, maybe she can become an imperial concubine in the future and give birth to a prince…

No matter how bad it sounds when the prince becomes the emperor, he will also be the emperor's concubine. Even she, the general's wife, will have to greet her when she sees her.

Ge Chuyi replied: "The second prince's imperial concubine mother is the most favored, and his maternal family is one of the three major royal families."

"He strives for success. The eldest prince is still studying with the tutor, but he has already joined the court to work."

"And I accidentally discovered that my brother-in-law and the second prince have a private relationship."

"If it goes as expected, my brother-in-law will probably choose the second prince instead of the eldest prince in the future, right?"

"Then why not tie the interests deeper? Sending me to be the second prince's side concubine is the best choice."

Her brother-in-law had military power and was also the Minister of War. He was one of the people the second prince wanted to win over.

And with her beauty and skills, she doesn't believe that the second prince will not be tempted.

What she lacks is a family background, and only her brother-in-law can make her a side concubine.

If she sent herself to the door, she would be a concubine, but she didn't want to.

Besides, it's not easy to cherish the things that send her to your door.

She has already thought about attracting the second prince's attention and making him like her.

She added: "As long as I have the favor of the second prince, will it still be difficult to target Xi Rui, a playboy?"

Ge Chunyi also calmed down at this moment, looked at Ge Chunru, and said: "Sister, I think the second sister's decision is a good one, please help her."

He must take revenge.

Ge Chunru thought for a while and then nodded: "Okay, I will mention it to the general in 2 days."

Her younger sister was smarter than she thought. She even discovered that the general and the second prince had private contacts.

Such a temperament was indeed more suitable for a palace fight.

The younger brother's future has been ruined. If the younger sister can be promoted to a higher position, it will be good for both the younger brother and her.

In the study on the other side.

Xiao Yuanshi asked someone to check what happened today.

He thought carefully about what happened from entering the restaurant to what happened next.

He also discovered two wrong things.

One was the waiter in the restaurant. When he was pouring the wine for him, his hands shook, and it almost spilled.

The second question was, why was it so coincidental that when he was drinking with his colleagues, that group of dandies also went there?

The main point was that among the group of dandies, there was Xi Rui.

So he asked his men to arrest the waiter for interrogation.

Then also let his men keep an eye on Xi Rui and the emperor's uncle again.

It can be seen that Xiao Yuanshi's ability to rise from a small soldier to a general was indeed not a coincidence.

When Xi Rui and Liang Youxiao finished talking about the restaurant, they got on the carriage.

The people around the two of them were not simple, so they naturally discovered that someone was following them and reported them.

Liang Youxiao waved his hand: "Let them follow."

Xi Rui raised an eyebrow and said, "Xiao Yuanshi is quite smart, and now he doubts us?"

Liang Youxiao smiled meaningfully: "He should be doubting you, not us."

Xi Rui: "…"

This guy is not a good thing.

He shrugged nonchalantly: "Discover it if he can. I didn't want to hide it."

Xiao Yuanshi must have guessed that someone was plotting against him.

Many things in the restaurant were coincidental. It would be strange if Xiao Yuanshi didn't doubt him.

He was not afraid to be found.

He wanted to let Xiao Yuanshi know that if the general's wife dared to scheme against him, he would have to accept his revenge.

Liang Youxiao chuckled: "That's right, it's just Xiao Yuanshi, there's nothing to be afraid of."

Xi Rui put his hand on Liang Youxiao's shoulder, "Let's go and play mahjong."

"Okay." Liang Youxiao smiled and nodded.

So the two of them ran to a tea house and invited two friends to play mahjong.

The news about General Xiao in the capital spread out as if it had wings.

When many people heard the news, their first reaction was that they couldn't believe it. Their second reaction was that General Xiao turned out to be such a person.

They can't see it!

The next day, Xiao Yuanshi went to court and received strange looks from many courtiers.

Some people even expressed contempt directly.

His heart skipped a beat. Did that old man tell the story?

There wasn't much going on today, and the court dismissed not long after.

Xiao Yuanshi didn't know if it was his imagination. He found that the Emperor seemed to have looked at him, especially before leaving.

Out of the main hall, Xiao Yuanshi found that many people with whom he usually had good relationships were staying away from him.

He was already sure that what happened yesterday had been leaked.

At this moment, he wanted to take up his sword and kill the emperor's uncle immediately.

At this time, another general with whom he had a close relationship came over.

The man asked in a low voice: "Have you offended anyone?"

As for the news from outside, he believed this happened, but he did not believe that Xiao Yuanshi had such a hobby.

They have been on the battlefield together, and he knows that Xiao Yuanshi is not that kind of person.

And even if it happened, with Xiao Yuanshi's temperament, it would be impossible for him to do such a thing in a restaurant.

So there was only one possibility, Xiao Yuanshi was plotted.

Xiao Yuanshi asked in a low voice: "Did you hear something?"

The man told him what he had heard.

Xiao Yuanshi's face turned gloomy for a moment, "Are you saying that it was Xi Rui and a bunch of other dudes who spread the news?"

The man nodded: "Yes, they even said they saw it with their own eyes."

"And a colleague who went drinking with you yesterday said it was true, and he also saw it."

Xiao Yuanshi finally understood why those people looked at him strangely today.

Also, why did those people's eyes look wrong a few days ago?

It turned out to be that bastard Xi Rui who led the dandies to create rumors about him. He even said that he and Ge Chunyi…

The target of his anger was successfully transferred to Xi Rui.

Only that Demon King can do this.

"Indeed, I was tricked. I had no idea what happened yesterday, and it became like this after that."

"My nephew had a conflict with Xi Rui before and accidentally punched him."

"Later, my wife's brother also had a conflict with Xi Rui, and he even asked someone to break my wife's brother's hand."

Xiao Yuanshi smiled bitterly: "I didn't expect that he didn't have enough revenge."

He told the man roughly what happened yesterday.

The general sighed: "Hey, this matter has a great impact on your reputation. Please pay more attention recently."

He had nothing to say about Xi Rui.

After all, that little devil was very popular with the Empress Dowager and the Emperor, so it would be unlucky for Xiao Yuanshi to get into trouble with him.

Then a few people who knew Xiao Yuanshi's temperament came forward to inquire.

Xiao Yuanshi also explained everything one by one. Everyone thought he was unlucky.

However, they have recently decided to keep some distance from him. After all, people's words were scary, and they didn't want to be one of the targets of the rumors.

Xi Rui's bunch of dandies have backgrounds and are fearless. They can't afford to offend them.

Xiao Yuanshi was on the road and asked for leave from the Minister of War, and did not go to the Yamen.

He doesn't have the face to show and watch people laugh at him.

The Secretary of the Ministry of War was unhappy when something like this happened to his subordinates.

He didn't want Xiao Yuanshi to draw attention to the Ministry of War, so he gave him three days' leave.

Xiao Yuanshi got on the carriage returning to the General's Mansion and crushed several teacups on the carriage.

"Xi Rui!" He gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

That bastard went too far. Not only did he destroy his brother-in-law over a trivial matter, he also plotted against him.

He closed his eyes. Now he couldn't move Xi Rui and the old dude, but one day, he would have to cut these two people into pieces.

The most important thing to do now was to reduce the rumors and reduce the impact of this incident on him in the court.

His losses were great this time. It was not easy for him to gain a foothold in the court, and he also gained a good reputation as a Confucian general.

Now they were all ruined by those dandies, he hates it!

On the other side, Old Lady Xiao took her daughter-in-law out in the morning.

She met the old lady she befriended on the way. The old lady told her the rumor about her second son.

After hearing this, Old Lady Xiao was so angry that she was half dead.

She didn't believe it and then ran to ask several other acquaintances, who would have thought that everyone would say the same thing.

Unable to hold it back, she took everyone back to the general's mansion.

A young man curled his lips when he saw Old Lady Xiao's appearance.

Not long after, he asked someone to pay the old woman who revealed the news to Old Lady Xiao.

After the good show in the General's Mansion ends, he can write a letter and send it back to his master.

At the General's Mansion.

Ge Chunru was drinking nourishing soup.

Since she became pregnant, she no longer has to serve the old lady due to Xiao Yuanshi's intervention.

Suddenly the maid came to report: "Madam, the old lady rushed into the yard with an ugly face."

Ge Chunru frowned: "Why is she getting crazy?"

She stood up and said: "Let's go and take a look."

She was pregnant now. That old lady won't dare to touch her like before. She has the confidence.

As soon as she walked out of the door, she suddenly received a slap on her face.

Ge Chunru covered her face and looked at the old lady in disbelief.

Is this old woman crazy?

Old Lady Xiao was furious.

She spat at her and said: "You little bitch, you want to kill my son, don't you?"

Although she was also very angry at the second child, that beast.

But the future wealth and prosperity of the Xiao family will all depend on this second son.

Ge Chunru covered her face and looked at her inexplicably: "I don't understand what mother-in-law means."

Old Lady Xiao got angry when she saw her like this. She waved her hand and tried to slap her again, but was stopped by the maidservants.

This was the general's order. If something happens to the madam, they can't bear it.

Old Lady Xiao also knew that this little bitch was pregnant with a child, and her second son took her seriously, so she didn't force her way over.

She snorted and said: "What your brother did has been spread throughout the capital."

"You have also caused my son to lose his reputation. You are a pair of broom stars who harm your father and mother. I shouldn't have allowed you to marry into our family in the first place."

Then she and the other two daughters-in-law took turns scolding Ge Chunru.

At the same time, they also told her rumors in the capital and what happened yesterday.

Ge Chunru's face turned pale: "Impossible, this is simply impossible."

Old Lady Xiao sneered: "Now, this spread all over the capital. If you say it's impossible, then it's impossible?"

Ge Chunru suddenly remembered that Xiao Yuanshi's face was particularly ugly when he came back yesterday, and her face turned pale again.

"The general must have been plotted against someone." She knew that Xiao Yuanshi was not that kind of person.

But if this thing was true, it was too embarrassing.

Moreover, someone involved her brother in making rumors. How could her brother go out to meet people in the future?

She was so angry that her whole body was shaking.

Old Lady Xiao snorted coldly, "It's all caused by you and your little bastard brother."

"I'm wondering, why you were so nice to your brother. It turns out that there are still these things."

"You siblings are all shameless bitches, you…" Old Lady Xiao put her hands on her hips and scolded her in various ways.

Hearing these words, Ge Chunru's face turned green with anger: "You, you…"

Suddenly, she felt an uncomfortable stomachache. She held her stomach and said: "It hurts. My stomach hurts so much."

"Ah, blood!" The maidservant next to Ge Chunru exclaimed when she saw blood flowing out of her skirt.

Ge Chunru hurriedly grabbed the arm of the maidservant next to her and said: "Please call the doctor, please call the doctor quickly."

She had had a miscarriage once, so she knew it was a sign of miscarriage.

This child was something she had been looking forward to for a long time, and it was the right time to come. She couldn't let it go, absolutely not.

Then she felt so dizzy that I fainted.

Seeing this, Old Lady Xiao said: "This is none of our business. This foxy lady has a guilty conscience."

Then she took her two daughters-in-law and ran away quickly.

As soon as Xiao Yuanshi returned home, he heard the housekeeper coming to report.

The old lady heard the rumors outside and ran to slap Ge Chunru in the face.

Not only did she tell his wife the rumor, she also scolded her.

Then Ge Chunru was so angry that she had a miscarriage.

Xiao Yuanshi's eyesight also darkened, and he was so angry that he almost fainted.

His body swayed, but he still stood firm.

After the dizziness passed, he hurriedly walked towards the yard.

When he entered the door, he saw his wife lying on the bed with a pale face, and his sister-in-law sitting beside her wiping her tears.

Seeing Xiao Yuanshi enter the door, Ge Chuyi stood up and said: "I've met my brother-in-law."

Xiao Yuanshi walked over and asked: "How is your sister?"

Ge Chunyi's eyes were filled with tears: "My sister was so angry that she had a miscarriage."

She put on eye drops: "The old lady not only scolded my sister but also told her all the rumors spread outside. This made my sister so angry that she had a miscarriage."

This child came at just the right time, and it was time for the General's Mansion to have a legitimate son.

Especially now, the rumors outside also involve the second brother. If the child was here, the general would not take his anger out on their brother for the sake of the child.

But it was hard to say it now.

Ge Chuyi's hand holding the handkerchief tightened, she lowered her head, and her eyes were filled with coldness.

Her hatred for Old Lady Xiao and others was even stronger. When she successfully marries the second prince's palace and establishes a firm foothold, she will avenge her sister.

Xiao Yuanshi felt like he was about to collapse at this time.

His life was full of ups and downs.

The child he had been looking forward to for so long was gone because of his own mother's nonsense.

He raised his hand rubbed his forehead, and said to Ge Chuyi with a tired face: "You go down first, I will handle it."

Ge Chuyi added: "Thank you for your hard work, brother-in-law. You must be the first thing my sister wants to see when she wakes up."

After saying that, she left without comforting Xiao Yuanshi.

There were differences between men and women. She was Xiao Yuanshi's sister-in-law and was not suitable to talk for long.

Besides, her goal was higher, and she was not interested in a general's residence.

Ge Chunru woke up and saw Xiao Yuanshi sitting by the bed in a daze.

She hurriedly touched her belly, and then took Xiao Yuanshi's hand: "General, is our child still there?"

Xiao Yuanshi said in a hoarse voice: "We will have children in the future. You should take a good rest first. I have sent someone to find the divine doctor."

The doctor they called just told him that due to two consecutive miscarriages, his wife's health was severely damaged.

It was impossible to get pregnant again in a short time. She has to take good care of her body to have a chance of getting pregnant, but the chance is not very high.

Unless that divine doctor helps with the treatment, there will be a high chance of getting pregnant in the next year or two.

He had heard from his close acquaintances that the divine doctor was dead, but his eldest son had suddenly become the divine doctor's apprentice.

It was just that he was still half-convinced, so he sent someone to find out whether the divine doctor was dead.

He also asked people to check the other apprentices of the divine doctor.

Otherwise, if it were true, would his eldest son come to take care of his younger wife's health?

Will his eldest son even come?

So he could only look for the other apprentices of the divine doctor. He doesn't believe that the divine doctor only had his eldest son as his apprentice.

Hearing Xiao Yuanshi's words, Ge Chunru's expression froze for a moment. Her child was gone, and then she threw herself into his arms and cried.

Xiao Yuanshi was also very sad at this time. He didn't know why, but the scene when Mrs. Kong was just pregnant with Xiao Hanzheng suddenly appeared in his mind.

She was pregnant but was still asked to do many things by Old Lady Xiao and Mrs. Wang. Even so, the child was born safely.

He had expectations for his first child, and he taught Xiao Hanzheng when he was still young.

He didn't feel much anything to his other two children.

Especially the youngest son. When he went to the battlefield, he didn't even know that Mrs. Kong was pregnant again.

At his age, he naturally hoped to have a group of children.

But what should he do if his little wife cannot get pregnant?

Then he couldn't help but hate Xi Rui and the others. If it weren't for them, his reputation would not be ruined, and his mother would not find trouble with his little wife.

His little wife will not be so angry that she will have a miscarriage.

Of course, he also has some opinions on Ge Chunru.

When she threw herself into his arms just now, she hesitated for a moment. Did she care about what happened yesterday?

Moreover, when she was pregnant, she should be taking good care of the fetus in her womb and not be worried about her unfulfilled brother all day long, causing the fetus to become unstable. It was outrageous.

Ge Chunru also felt resentful towards Xiao Yuanshi.

He was so wise and mighty, yet he was plotted against, and something like that happened.

She felt uncomfortable whenever she thought about it.

Especially because this child was killed by the old lady. Why there was always a conflict between her and the old Xiao family?

The couple who originally loved each other and said they wanted to grow old together also had a small crack in their hearts.

That night, Xiao Yuanshi also fell ill and developed a high fever.

He was afraid that his illness would infect his little wife, so he went to live alone in another courtyard.

Ge Chunru, who had a miscarriage, was unable to take care of him, so she asked the maid next to her to serve him all night.

The general mansion's doctor also stayed on guard all night.

It was almost dawn, and Old Man Xiao and Old Lady Xiao also went to the yard.

After watching for a while, Xiao Yuanshi woke up.

He was stunned when he saw his parents sitting in the room.

Old Lady Xiao's eyes were red and swollen. When she saw Xiao Yuanshi waking up, she rushed towards him.

"My son, you finally woke up, you made me and your father worried about you to death."

What she said was half-truth and half-lie.

Ever since she learned that Ge Chunru had a miscarriage, she had been worried.

It was Mrs. Wu who reminded her that Shi Qingluo had said before that if she wanted to confront that foxy girl, she could choose to coax Xiao Yuanshi.

So she discussed it with the old man and came over to guard him.

Old Man Xiao's eyes were also red. He looked at Xiao Yuanshi and said: "We all know that the things outside are just rumors. Don't take it to heart."

"You should take good care of your health these days, your health is important."

It was the first time that Xiao Yuanshi felt such care from his father and mother, and he was already sick and fragile.

Then the defense line in my heart was broken a little, and my attitude softened a lot: "I made my parents worried."

Old Lady Xiao held his hand and cried: "You are the flesh that fell off my body. Seeing you sick and suffering, how could your father and I not be worried?"

"It's all that Ge Chunyi's fault. If he hadn't provoked that Xi Rui, you wouldn't have been tricked."

They had already heard from the second son's followers that his son was plotted by Xi Rui, so they hated the Ge siblings even more.

"Son, if something happens to you, how will your father and I live?" Then she started to cry again.

Xiao Yuanshi's original intention of settling a score with the old lady suddenly faded away.

Especially when he woke up and his parents were there, but his little wife was not.

Although he knew that the other party was recuperating due to a miscarriage, he still felt a little uncomfortable.

He couldn't help but get angry when he heard his old mother's words.

The cause of Xi Rui's incident was Ge Chunyi.

If the other party doesn't provoke the devil incarnation, will he be implicated in the plot?

He opened his mouth to appease the old lady and the two of them spoke.

The two of them felt greatly relieved when they saw him like this. It seemed that he had passed the test.

Then they said some more words of concern before leaving.

As soon as the two left, Xiao Yuanshi's cronies walked in.

"Master, the waiter from the restaurant has returned to his hometown."

Xiao Yuanshi raised his eyebrows: "Return to his hometown?"

The confidant replied: "The shopkeeper of the restaurant said that the waiter wrote a letter from home saying that his mother was sick and asked him to go back."

Xiao Yuanshi sneered: "How could it be such a coincidence? The trouble is with him. Go to his hometown and bring him back."

"Or pry out the person behind him."

The confidant nodded, "Yes!"

Ge Chunru learned that the old woman went to cry and complain, but Xiao Yuanshi did not pursue the matter of causing her miscarriage, and she felt resentful again.

Next, Xiao Yuanshi fell ill, so he asked someone to go to the Ministry of War to ask for a few days' leave for him.

The rumors about him in the capital not only did not subside but became more and more intense.

Liang Youxiao's people worked hard and finally made a batch of skateboards and scooters.

So he called Xi Rui over again.

"I specially brought this from Nanxi County for you to play with."

Xi Rui looked at the skateboard in confusion: "How to play this?"

Liang Youxiao personally demonstrated: "Watch."

In addition to rushing work in the workshop recently, he was also diligently practicing various difficult skateboarding moves at home.

Although he was not as good at playing as Shi Qingluo, he could still play a few tricks.

It also made Xi Rui and several other dudes who came with their eyes straightened.

"What is this? It's so fun to watch."

Liang Youxiao laughed and said, "This is a skateboard!"

Xi Rui couldn't wait to say: "I'll give it a try."

Then from being uncomfortable at the beginning, he was gradually able to play.

That was what people called having fun, he enjoyed this more than playing mahjong.

Liang Youxiao watched Xi Rui for a short time before he was able to perform a few moves that were not difficult, with a black line all over his head.

As expected, this guy was the most proficient in playing. It took him several days in the Xiao Family to reach such a level.

Soon, Xi Rui and a few dudes left with the skateboard given by Liang Youxiao.

That day, on the main street in the capital, people could see a group of young dandies playing on the street on a wooden board.

Not only does it slide fast, but it can also perform many dazzling and thrilling moves, which are particularly eye-catching.

It also made many boys and girls look straight at it.

They all ran to ask Xi Rui what this was.

Because these young dandies gained a lot of attention, skateboarding suddenly became popular in the capital.

This was the case in this era. Following the trend was more serious than in modern times. After all, there were too few entertainment things.

Especially because it was led by Xi Rui, who was well-known in the capital and was the most playful, which made his peers want a skateboard even more.

Liang Youxiao immediately started selling skateboards and scooters in the decorated shop the next day.

They also specially trained several staff to serve as demonstrators.

The price was not ordinary.

A skateboard costs fifty taels of silver, and a scooter costs sixty taels of silver.

Of course, the materials he asked to use were of higher quality than those given by Shi Qingluo, and the appearance was also improved.

The capital was not a place that was short of money, so the young masters from various families lined up to buy it with their money.

There were also many young ladies' maids among them.

Of course, the young ladies buy them back, mainly for fun at home.

Therefore, a scene will be played out in many homes in the capital.

"Mom, give me some money, I want to buy a skateboard."

"Why do you want to buy something like a skateboard that costs 50 taels of silver?"

"Everyone around me is skateboarding. It would be embarrassing if I didn't buy one!"

"Buying shit, it's just a boy from the Liang family who created it to trick you fools. 50 taels is not a small amount." This was the scolding of his father.

"Forget it if you don't want to pay. I'll go find my grandmother. I don't want to be embarrassed in front of my classmates."

"You, you bastard, let's see if I don't beat you!"

Then within two days, the teenagers were almost beaten by their father and bought a scooter…

The promise to trick fools began…

No matter what, Liang Youxiao made a lot of money.

Because his family background was strong enough, no one followed suit for a while and made skateboards and scooters for sale in the capital.

However, some people bought skateboards and scooters and secretly developed them, preparing to sell them elsewhere.

On the other side, Xiaxi Village.

Xiao Hanzheng also received two letters from the capital.

One was written by Liang Youxiao, and the other was written by someone from Xiao Hanzheng.

After reading the letter, Shi Qingluo felt very happy: "Xi Rui and Liang Youxiao did a great job!"

"Old Lady Xiao's fighting ability has not diminished, and she even caused that woman to have a miscarriage."

Xiao Hanzheng chuckled and said: "It's also retribution."

When the woman used her child against his mother, she should have been prepared for retribution.

His people inquired and found out that the woman was injured this time, and it would be difficult for her to get pregnant again.

The Scumbag Father Zha also sent people to check whether his master was dead and to check the other apprentices of the master.

The Scumbag Father should have found out about him being the apprentice of a miracle doctor before. After all, Fei Yuzhe didn't hide it when he brought his nephew to treat illnesses, nor did he hide it when he went to Fucheng to help people treat illnesses.

He curled his lips and said: "I suddenly have some expectations. If the scumbag father and that woman determine that I am the only disciple of the miracle doctor, and only I can help her adjust her body to become pregnant as soon as possible, I wonder what will be their expression."

Shi Qingluo couldn't help but laugh out loud: "I'm also looking forward to it. It's fun to think about it."

The Scumbag Father and that woman may want to split right on the spot.

Xiao Hanzheng looked at the remaining piece of letter paper again.

"My Scumbag Father's people have found the waiter Xi Rui and the others asked to leave on purpose."

"Xi Rui and the others gave that waiter money to leave."

"Unexpectedly, the waiter did not leave the capital. Instead, he hid in a nearby village for a few days and then returned to the capital."

Shi Qingluo said: "Scumbag Father will know about this sooner or later."

But they don't know what will happen to the waiter in the restaurant.

Xi Rui was relatively principled in doing things, giving money to send people away.

Unlike some people, once they use it, they will be silenced forever.

It was a pity that this waiter go back and deliver himself to the scumbag father. There was nothing they could do.

Xiao Hanzheng thought for a while and said: "According to my understanding of my Scumbag Father after he finds out that the person behind it is Xi Rui, he will send the waiter to the Duke's Mansion."

Shi Qingluo was stunned: "Send it to the Duke's Mansion?"

Xiao Hanzheng replied: "My Scumbag Father won't want to completely become an enemy of the Duke's Mansion."

"If he sends this person, first, it means that he knows Xi Rui's plan, and secondly, he will also want to use this evidence to make the Duke's Mansion owe him a favor for this matter."

He then sneered: "But my Scumbag Father probably didn't even think that the woman he dotes on plotted against Xi Rui, and that's how he will hurt himself."

Liang Youxiao wrote a letter and told how Ge Chunru plotted against Xi Rui.

Shi Qingluo chuckled and said: "If that's the case, not only will your scumbag father not be able to make the Duke's Mansion owe him a favor, he will probably be self-defeating."

"But it's good because your Scumbag Father will know what that woman did."

"With your Scumbag Father's temperament, he will feel uncomfortable in his heart."

Why does that Scumbag Father like that woman so much? Shi Qingluo felt that in addition to being young and beautiful, she must treat that Scumbag Father as the best, and showed that he was everything to her.

She must also be particularly good at holding up this Scumbag Father, which greatly satisfies his vanity.

But now, when he learns that Ge Chunru found someone to plot against Xi Rui and offend the Duke's Mansion for her brother's sake.

And the main point was that this little, sweet wife deliberately didn't let him know. Would the scumbag father not get hurt?

Xiao Hanzheng held Shi Qingluo's hand and played with it: "Yes, I want to see if their feelings are that loyal and firm."

Shi Qingluo hooked his hand with her little finger: "In addition to letting that woman suffer the consequences, I also thought of something that she can't accept."

Xiao Hanzheng asked curiously: "What?"

Shi Qingluo said: "The most painful thing in life, apart from losing the things you care about most, is being crushed by someone you always look down on."

"Being treated like a treasure, then be discarded like worn-out shoes."

"I think the thing she can't accept the most in her life is your scumbag father's ex-wife."

Xiao Hanzheng was puzzled: "My Scumbag Father's ex-wife?"

Shi Qingluo smiled and said: "Let your scumbag father turn around and realize that mother is good, and then turn around and fall in love with her."

"Then mother will abandon him like a pair of worn shoes."

Xiao Hanzheng was startled, realizing that the thoughts in his little wife's head all day were really weird.

But thinking about the time when his scumbag father abandoned her mother, which caused her heartbreak and pain.

If one day the situation changes, he will feel comfortable thinking about it.

He said: "This is not easy to do."

Shi Qingluo patted her chest and said: "Just leave it to me."

A man with the temperament of that Scumbag Father likes women holding his stinky feet.

But if there were many women like this, would he still think Ge Chunru was special?

On the contrary, Mrs. Kong, the woman who once humbled and served him, changed after meeting again. She was no longer so weak and dependent, she became more individualistic and even more dismissive of him.

He will feel that his ex-wife is suddenly so different. She will design two more traps for this Scumbag Father to jump into. Let him see how good Mrs. Kong could be.

That's not what the most appetizing.

If someone with a higher status than the Scumbag Father proposed to Mrs. Kong to marry him, that Scumbag Father definitely will be stimulated even more.

She used her arm to twist Xiao Hanzheng's waist: "You won't object to mother remarrying, right?"

Her mother-in-law was only in her early thirties, so there was no need to give up the rest of her life for a scumbag.

She would find a better man to pamper and love her, which can make that greedy scumbag father mad.

The main point was, she will make her mother-in-law be able to express her bad temper and let her find out that the Scumbag Father was nothing more than that.

The thorn in her heart will be pulled out, and she can live a peaceful and happy life with someone she loves in the future.

Xiao Hanzheng: "…"

His little wife started to think about his mother's second marriage.

He didn't hesitate much: "Of course, I won't object."

If his mother can find a man who can be good to her, he won't mind having multiple stepfathers.

Shi Qingluo leaned her head on Xiao Hanzheng's arm and rubbed it: "Brother Zheng, I knew you were the most responsible."

For a man in this era, especially a scholar, it would be considered good if he could accept having a divorced mother, let alone support his mother remarrying.

She indeed found the best husband.

Xiao Hanzheng lowered his head kissed her forehead and said with a smile: "You!"

But his heart felt warm because his wife also kept his mother in her heart.

A few days later, in the capital.

At the General's Mansion, study room.

Xiao Yuanshi sat on the main seat.

His confidant handed over a confession: "Master, the waiter in the shop has confessed. Someone paid him to put medicine in your wine glass."

"We followed the clues and found that it was the servant next to Xi Rui."

Xiao Yuanshi was not surprised: "It was indeed him who did it."

The confidant asked: "Master, what should I do with the waiter in the shop?"

He wiped his neck and asked: "Do you want it?"

Xiao Yuanshi thought for a while, squinted his eyes, and said, "No need."

"Bring him here to the General's Mansion tomorrow, and I will take him to the Duke's Mansion."

He wanted to hand the person over to the Yamen.

But he knew that doing so would not hurt Xi Rui at all.

That servant will take all the charge on his body, and the Yamen will not dare to offend the Duke Mansion.

The Empress Dowager would also not let anything happen to Xi Rui.

So the best result would be, that he will take this handle and go to the Duke's Mansion to exchange favors.

Any truly smart person in the capital would be able to figure out that he was plotted against.

Now that his reputation has been ruined, so what if he proves that he was calculated?

Since everything has reached this point, it was of course more cost-effective to exchange it for benefits.

As for Xi Rui and the Xi Family, of course, he will not let them go.

Now he can only bow his head, but one day in the future, he will make them pay this debt.

The confidant was a little confused, but he didn't dare to ask any more questions, "Yes!"

It can be said that Xiao Hanzheng knew his Scumbag Father's thoughts very clearly.

The next day, Xiao Yuanshi took the initiative to visit the Duke's Mansion.

The old duke and his old friends have recently fallen in love with mahjong, so they won't be at home this time.

Xi Rui's father, Xi Xinheng, the eldest son of the Duke's Mansion, received Xiao Yuanshi.

After Xi Xinheng heard what happened to Xiao Yuanshi, he asked someone to investigate it.

He also found out that it was his son who did the good deeds which made his head ache.

Hence, he guessed Xiao Yuanshi's purpose.

After sitting down, he calmly asked straight to the point: "General Xiao, what's the matter with your visit today?"

Xiao Yuanshi didn't beat around the bush: "I came here today because I want to get an explanation from the Duke."

Then handed over the waiter's confession.
