Chapter 219: Relationship exposed

Old Lady Xiao’s heart skipped a beat when she saw her son’s expression.

She couldn’t let her son give up on the idea of bringing her back to the manor.

She immediately put her hands on her hips and said, “Ptui, you are a vicious woman. Her name is clearly Liu Ru. You must have made up Tao Liu, right?

“And you seemed to know the brothels very well. You came from there right? That’s why everyone looks the same to you.”

Ge Chunru was quite insulted. “Old lady, I respect you as my mother-in-law, but you can’t humiliate me like this.”

Old Lady Xiao sneered. “You’re a mistress, yet you deliberately miscarried and framed my son’s first wife. You are always talking about the brothel. How clean could you be? How am I humiliating you?

“What I said is the truth.”

“You, you...” Ge Chunru was so angry that her eyes turned black and she felt dizzy.

Xiao Yuanshi’s face turned even greener. “Mother, what nonsense are you talking about?”

Why couldn’t her mother keep her mouth shut? She actually said something like this.

He hadn’t uttered a single word the whole time.

Old Lady Xiao glared at him. “What nonsense am I talking about? You divorced your first wife and broke off your kinship with your biological children because of her. Is this fake?

“What’s there to hide? It’s not your fault. She forced you to do it.”

......

She said righteously, “If I don’t say it out loud today and she causes more troubles in the future, won’t everyone eventually know too? It’ll be even more embarrassing then.”

She had been hinting to her son that she was doing this for him.

That’s right, it was all for her son.

This was also something Shi Qingluo had taught her.

When she found it difficult to make her decision, she had to keep reminding herself why she was doing this.

As expected, she no longer felt guilty since it was for her son’s wellbeing.

At this moment, Xiao Yuanshi also wanted to faint.

Gritting his teeth, he said, “Let’s return to the general’s residence now.”

Suddenly, someone at the door asked, “The general’s wife mentioned Xiao Hanzheng. Is he the husband of the wife who offered the seeds?”

Eldest Grandson Xiao happened to be standing at the door watching the show.

He could not help but interject, “That’s right, that’s Xiao Hanzheng.”

Xiao Yuanshi thought to himself, the old Xiao family must have deliberately come to harm him.

“What? It’s really Xiao Hanzheng.”

“Their surnames are all Xiao.”

“Could it be that Xiao Hanzheng is the son of General Xiao who cut off his ties with them?”

Eldest Grandson Xiao interjected again, “Yes, that’s right.”

At this moment, Xiao Yuanshi only wanted to shut up his nephew.

However, if he shouted in front of the crowd, he would appear to be guilty.

“They are a good pair of son and daughter-in-law, but General Xiao actually broke off his kinship with them for the sake of an outsider. This is really...” He did not know what to say.

“It seems that General Xiao loves freshness!”

“His wife is really amazing. Not only did she deliberately miscarry so that his first wife was demoted, but she also forced the general to break off his kinship with such a promising son. She is indeed not ordinary.”

“Moreover, she is too narrow-minded. Not only did she ruin Miss Liu’s innocence, she even falsely accused Xiao Hanzheng for sending her here to seduce the general.”

“That’s right. Xiao Hanzheng is only an elementary scholar from a small county. I also heard that his wife only came to the capital because she wanted to offer the seeds. How is he so amazing to even arrange a concubine for his biological father.”

“Ge Chunru is really evil. She deliberately used this to ruin Xiao Hanzheng’s reputation. She is really amazing.”

“She’s throwing dirty water in front of everyone. Who knows how she’s going to suppress them behind their backs.”

“How many stepmothers are good? Moreover, she’s the stepmother who forced his biological mother to be demoted to a concubine. In the end, she became his second wife.”

“What second wife? She’s already broken off the marriage. She can’t be considered his second wife, right?”

“Right, right. She’s already broken off the marriage. Speaking of which, General Xiao and Xiao Hanzheng are no longer related.”

They were leading the tempo of this conversation.

These people were naturally arranged by Xiao Hanzheng.

However, it was Shi Qingluo’s idea.

In modern times, she always saw the power of public opinion taking the lead online, so she had Xiao Hanzheng’s people to lead the way.

As expected, the effect was great.

Many passersby could not help but start talking about it.

“No wonder even her mother-in-law was forced to court her own death. She is too vicious.”

“Looking at how gentle the general’s wife is, I really didn’t expect her to be like this behind her back.”

“I’ve heard that she doesn’t respect her mother-in-law since a long time ago. Today, I saw it with my own eyes.”

“She’s even more displeased with the general’s biological son. She throws all kinds of dirty water at him.”

Because someone took the lead and said so, everyone also joined in the fun.

They were not that afraid that General Xiao Yuanshi would take revenge on them.

It was impossible for him to kill everyone here.

Ge Chunru did not recover well from her past miscarriages because of her brother’s incident and the anger she held from the Xiao family.

When Ge Chunru heard everyone outside scolding her, she was so angry that she fainted.

The servant girl who was supporting her hurriedly shouted, “Madam, madam, what’s wrong?”

The person who was leading the conversation at the door immediately said, “Could it be that she is pretending to faint because she is guilty?”

After he finished speaking, he immediately changed his position. Therefore, when Xiao Yuanshi looked over, he was unable to determine who said it.

Xiao Yuanshi was also extremely furious at this moment. “Bring your madam and Miss Liu back to the general’s residence.”

After he finished speaking, he really could not take this in anymore.

He flung his sleeves and left first.

He was really afraid that if he stayed any longer, his mother and his other family members would do something else.

His personal attendant immediately said, “Yes!”

Then, he got a strong old woman to quickly guide the two into the carriage.

Old Lady Xiao and the others also got into the carriage and left.

They still had to go back and watch the story develop carefully.

They could not let Ge Chunru send them off.

Everyone watched the big show with great interest.

After the people from the general’s manor left the courtyard, everyone looked around and shared with their acquaintances the good show they had just seen.

Then, very quickly, the ministers in the capital also knew that Xiao Yuanshi was actually Xiao Hanzheng’s biological father.

The key point was that the two of them even broke off their kinship, and it was Xiao Yuanshi who took the initiative to do so for his mistress.

This really made it difficult for him to explain anything!

Although Xiao Yuanshi was a young aristocrat, many of the older aristocratic families with vibrant backgrounds looked down on him.

After hearing this news, they felt even more contempt.

They even thought that Xiao Yuanshi was blinded by his vicious little wife.

Xiao Hanzheng had Mr Hou as his teacher, and he also had a capable wife.

In addition, his strengths and capability were not bad.

If nothing unexpected happened, he should have a bright future.

Xiao Yuanshi actually did not want such a son.

Instead, he listened to his current wife, who was once his mistress, to break off his kinship with him.

It was really too much.

Meanwhile, the yushi was on high adrenaline today.

He deliberately asked his people to find out what happened in the courtyard today to confirm whether Xiao Yuanshi had really demoted his wife to a concubine, married his mistress, and even broke off his previous marriage and kinship with his biological children for the sake of another woman.

As long as he confirmed the facts, he would have something to take part in the next day.

Shi Qing was still unsatisfied after watching the drama in the courtyard.

She asked Xiao hanzheng, “Did Ge Chunru really faint or was she faking it?”

Xiao hanzheng replied, “She really fainted.”

He could still see through this.

Shi Qingluo smacked her lips. “She is too weak to resist blows.”

Her mental fortitude wasn’t good enough.

She would definitely faint frequently in the future.

She asked again, “Would your scumbag father listen to Ge Chunru’s words and suspect that we arranged for Tao Liu?”

Xiao hanzheng replied, “Tao Liu’s new identity wouldn’t be a problem.

“You helped her put a mole on her face and her makeup has also changed a lot.

“At most, she just looks like her.

“Besides, it’s not that easy to get rid of Tao Liu.”

Shi Qingluo thought about it and realised that it made sense.

Tao Liu who had been specially groomed might be even better than Ge Chunru in scheming.
