Chapter 75: This trick is too poisonous

July 3, 2023Ai Hrist

When Old Lady Xiao came here, she had already found out the benefits of using filial piety, and that was the weakness of these two beasts.

Seeing Ge Chunru cry, Xiao Yuanshi felt distressed.

So she immediately sat on the ground again, patted her thigh, and began to cry.

“Er Shi, you bastard! Your father and I traveled thousands of miles after selling our house and land. We were robbed and begged before we came here to the capital to see you, but you, you are scolding your mother.”

“Your daughter-in-law despises me as a mother-in-law. I just asked her to serve me. What is wrong with that? But you feel distressed?”

“Besides, it’s the truth, you two are an unmarried couple and committed adulterous. You raised an outer concubine, then abandoned your wife and children to help her become a regular wife. You dare to do it, but dare not say it?”

“Don’t think that when you come to the capital, no one will know about the disgusting things you have done.”

“If you continue to be so unfilial, we will immediately go out and help you spread these words. This shabby vixen pretended to fall and had a miscarriage because of Kong, and then you take this opportunity to divorce and break up the relationship with your children.”

“I would like to ask the Emperor if his general can do such an inhumane thing?”

“No need to mention Kong, but Zheng’er and the others are your biological children, you unconscionable beast.”

The more the old lady talked, the more angry she became. She vented all her grievances at once. Seeing these two animals live a good life, but not paying attention to the hardships she suffered on the road and in the village.

Shi Qingluo said that not only did she have to pressure them with filial piety, but she also had to catch the handle of two beasts to live in the general’s mansion and snatch the housekeeper’s rights.

With these two beasts, she can’t be polite and give in, she can only be more ruthless than anyone else, otherwise, she will be suppressed.

Hmph, she was more ruthless than them, she was not afraid of walking with bare feet.

It was no big deal to go back to the village and live their old life, but she must drag down together these two beasts.

As soon as those words came out, the expressions of Xiao Yuanshi and Ge Chunru all changed.

When did this old lady become so sharp? All her words were on point.

Not only poked their lung tubes but also pierced their hearts.

They couldn’t help but feel anxious, for fear that people from the main Xiao Family would go outside and talk nonsense.

It was nothing to do these things in private, not to mention that they were just starting, even aristocratic families do such things a lot.

But if these words spread and get the attention of others, he would be targeted.

Xiao Yuanshi was certain that this would not be something the old lady could say or imagine.

She even wanted to ask the emperor to tell these things. Since they came here, she suppressed them with filial piety and knew how to handle them.

This was not a good sign.

He took a deep breath, walked over to help the old lady up, “Mother, you misunderstood. We just arrived in the capital, we haven’t had a firm foothold here, which is why we were delayed.”

“Originally, I always wanted to take you and Dad to the capital to take care of me.”

This old lady was reckless. He can’t do anything, he can’t kill his mother, can he?

So then, he can only coax her first, follow the other party’s ideas, and then slowly find opportunities to pack them up and send them back to the village.

The old lady pouted in her heart. She didn’t believe these words, and neither did the others.

Then her eyes showed complacency. Shi Qingluo was right when she heard those words, this would make her second son bow his head.

Since her son backed down first, she naturally went down quickly, mainly because she smelled the aroma of vegetables and was so hungry.

So she sat back in her original position and let Ge Chunru serve her meals as before.

Ge Chunru covered her slapped cheek. Seeing her husband’s distressed and comforting eyes, she also understood what he meant.

She didn’t want to be ruined by the old woman and others, so she could only choose to endure.

She wiped away her tears and went up to serve the old woman aggrieved.

She will write down this debt of being beaten and insulted today, and she must let them pay back it later.

Old Lady Xiao disliked Ge Chunru, even more than Kong.

Besides, she felt good now, so she became very picky. Sometimes she disliked hot dishes, and sometimes she dislikes cold dishes.

In front of the maidservants in the general’s mansion, she embarrassed Ge Chunru, the general’s wife.

Every time Xiao Yuanshi wanted to help his wife, the old man would deliberately drag him to complain about the past and how to treat him well, so that he couldn’t speak.

After dinner, the two had to arrange accommodation for the main Xiao Family.

Who knew that when the old lady asked to see the courtyard where Ge Chunru lived, she burst into cursing?

Accused Xiao Yuanshi and the other two of being unfilial, actually living in such a nice courtyard, and then drove them, the parents, to a remote small courtyard.

If she hadn’t been informed by Shi Qingluo and Xiao Hanzheng before coming here, the main Xiao Family will not know about this, so now, they used it to make trouble.

Xiao Yuanshi was pressed down by the word “filial piety”, so he could only pinch his nose, and temporarily let the old lady and the old man live in the courtyard where he and Ge Chunru lived.

When it was over, he tentatively asked: “Mother, why did you sell the houses and land in the village? Did Xiao Hanzheng ask you to do this?”

The people in the main Xiao Family were stupid and ignorant, and they value money more than anything else. How can they be willing to sell the house and land?

Moreover, she even knew that the daughter-in-law had to serve her mother-in-law in a big family, so that his wife had to bow her head, and kept using filial piety to control him.

This was not what the main Xiao Family could have come up with, so he suspected that Xiao Hanzheng taught it.

But Xiao Hanzheng, a farmer who has never been to the capital, would unlikely to know how to make a fuss about these back houses, right?

Old Lady Xiao’s heart skipped a beat when she heard him ask this question, and she glared at him to hide her guilty conscience: “Since you and Zheng’er broke up and separated, we haven’t had any contact with him.”

She can’t sell Shi Qingluo, otherwise, who will give them advice in the future?

Now that she was holding her son and the shabby vixen temporarily, not only she was very happy but also has a great sense of satisfaction. She doesn’t want to be destroyed.

“It’s all because of you, a white-eyed wolf, you forget your parents when you get rich, and forget your relatives when you come to the capital.”

“If we didn’t miss you and were forced to sell the house and land for money, how could we suffer so much and be bullied as beggars?”

Xiao Yuanshi: “… …”

He doesn’t believe it.

Before he could answer, the old lady said again: “If you think we shouldn’t come to see you or miss you, then I’ll go outside tomorrow and ask everyone if other people’s sons and their wives are like this. Unfilial to their parents.”

“If all the censors think that what you did is right, then your father, your brothers and nephews, and I will continue to beg and go back to Nanxi County.”

“Let everyone see how majestic a general you are in front of your parents.”

Xiao Yuanshi was shocked in his heart: “… …”

Damn, the old lady knows about the censor.

If no one was behind this, he will never believe it.

He found that the old lady and the others had become so difficult. This was not a good sign. He had to send them back as soon as possible.

At the same time, he has to check who was deliberately punishing them behind the scenes, this trick was too poisonous.

He suspected Xiao Hanzheng in his heart, but he was not sure. After all, that young man in his impression was upright and gentle, and he had never been in contact with people and things in the capital.

So he suspected that someone might not like him, and then secretly found someone to encourage his family to do this.

Even though Xiao Yuanshi wanted to break his head, he couldn’t think of his unwanted son, and suddenly he was overjoyed to have a little daughter-in-law.

Without knowing that this little daughter-in-law was full of bad water, and deliberately packaged and sent these difficult top products of the main Xiao family who stand on the commanding heights of morality and filial piety as gifts for their husband and wife… …
