After The Divorce, I Became the Favorite of the Powerful Ministers - Chapter 679
Chapter 679
Xiao Yuanshi certainly didn’t want them to follow.
also talked about many advantages of staying in Beicheng, but they were all rejected by the old lady and the old man.
Old Mrs. Xiao was impatient and chatted with this beast again.
So he pulled him and cried suddenly: “Second child, you are not honoring us, but harming us.”
“We are parents, how can you leave your own sons alone? Isn’t that even worse than beasts?”
Xiao Yuanshi: “…” I always feel connoted.
His mother can’t speak too much.
Just as she was about to speak, the old lady said again, “Speak up, my father and I will be scolded.”
“If you are still a little filial, let us go back and take good care of you.”
“Otherwise we will go to the capital to sue you for being unfilial and let the emperor take back your title.”
This is what Shi Qingluo taught her when she sent them out before leaving the Yinlou.
Anyway, they can’t get it, so don’t ask for the title of the second child.
Xiao Yuanshi’s eyes widened: “…”
The old lady and the old man were suddenly determined to follow them back to Nanxi County, and they didn’t know what kind of evil they were planting.
Didn’t everyone agree to stay in Beicheng before? Why did it change?
Now he really has no way to refuse.
He knew that the old couple would not be able to afford it early. If he did not agree, he might have gone to the capital to file a complaint.
He always felt that this didn’t seem like an idea the old lady could come up with.
Suddenly there was a guess, “Mother, did you meet Shi Qing today?”
Old Mrs. Xiao heard his question, her eyes flickered, “No, what’s wrong?”
Xiao Yuanshi kept staring at the old lady. Seeing her appearance, he guessed that he must have met Shi Qingluo.
was also so angry that he was half-dead. That bad daughter-in-law was married to him by his son.
It took a long time for him to figure out a way to talk to the old Xiao family and not follow him back to Nanxi County.
He thought about it, it’s a pity that no one inherits this title.
When I go back to Nanxi County, I will go to the clan to find an orphan who is suitable and easy to handle.
As long as there is a title and his property, I believe that the adopted children will be filial to him.
So he couldn’t let the people of the old Xiao family follow him to bad things.
But looking at the attitudes of the two old ladies now, they must have been persuaded by Shi Qingluo to follow him.
Why is he so unlucky to have such a top family member and such a bad and evil daughter-in-law.
Xiao Yuanshi suddenly became a little discouraged, “Okay, let’s go with you.”
If it was Shi Qing’s idea and he didn’t agree, the bad daughter-in-law would definitely bring the old couple to the emperor.
Although he has no power, he can at least save face after returning to Nanxi County with this title.
When the old lady saw him compromise, she thought that Shi Qingluo was really strong, she knew exactly where the second child’s seven inches was, and pinched it exactly.
She decided to let Dalang communicate with Xiao Hanzheng and his wife from time to time when she returned to Nanxi County, and let Shi Qingluo give them advice on anything.
Obviously, in the old lady’s heart, Shi Qingluo, the divorced granddaughter-in-law, is more reliable than her own son.
If Xiao Yuanshi knew what she was thinking, he would definitely want to vomit blood.
How could Shi Qingluo be so kind, the old lady and others’ brains were eaten by pigs.
The old lady did not continue to entangle, but left with the old man.
Xiao Yuanshi asked people to check it out, and it turned out that the old lady had met Shi Qingluo in Yinlou.
He is really going to die of depression. In three days, Xiao Hanzheng’s family will go to the capital.
But even if Shi Qingluo provokes the old lady and others, he can’t change it.
The depression before has not eased, and the next day the old lady asked Xiao Yuanshi again and asked him to keep Liu Ru and her daughter in Beicheng.
Xiao Yuanshi is naturally unwilling. Anyway, this is his current wife and daughter, so how can he stay in Beicheng.
Although he doesn’t value his daughter, this is his last bloodline.
But the old lady kept making a fuss, just forbid him to take the two back.
Tao Liu also took the opportunity to cry.
roughly means that if the old lady and others followed her back to Nanxi County, she did not want to take her daughter back, otherwise she was afraid that her daughter would be bullied in the future.
coaxed Xiao Yuanshi again, saying that if they stayed in Beicheng, they could also leave a way out for him.
If he doesn’t want to stay in Nanxi County in the future, he can come to Beicheng to visit their mother and daughter and stay in Beicheng, so I believe the emperor will not say anything.
Xiao Yuanshi also thinks it makes sense.
And he was really annoyed by his mother. If he went to Nanxi County, he wouldn’t be killed.
If he couldn’t stand it in Nanxi County, he would find an excuse to return to Beicheng.
So he agreed, and gave Liu Ru’s mother and son the best house in his name.
gave the mother and daughter two villages and hundreds of acres of land, and three shops on the north side of the city.
In the end, he deposited 10,000 taels of silver in the bank, and gave Liu Ru a voucher for taking the silver.
But he emphasized that she had better not use the money, so that she could make a dowry for her daughter in the future.
In fact, he wanted to leave a way for himself, but he couldn’t get along with Liu Ru.
These are all part of the wealth he accumulated in Beicheng when he was the deputy governor.
He will sell the rest and exchange them for banknotes, and take them to Nanxi County to repurchase the property.
Taoliu was also completely relieved, and was very grateful to Xiao Hanzheng and Shi Qingluo.
If it wasn’t for the old lady’s harassment, and what Xiao Hanzheng taught her, Xiao Yuanshi would definitely not agree.
Three days later, Xiao Hanzheng’s family set off for the capital.
In addition to Xi Rui and Xi Rong following, the fifth prince also went back with him.
Xiao Yuanshi also finished handling the property in Beicheng, and took the old Xiao family to Beijing after half a month.
He had to go to the capital to return his orders and thank him, and then go back to Nanxi County.
His legs were crippled. In fact, the emperor allowed him to go directly to Nanxi County instead of going to the capital to thank him.
But when Xiao Yuanshi thought that Kong Yuelan was going to marry King Yi, he couldn’t get over that hurdle in his heart.
He abused himself and wanted to go to the capital to see, but only when he saw that the two were really married could he give up.
Because Shi Qingluo was pregnant, and the time was not in a hurry, the Xiao family did not hurry, they stopped and went, and it took a month to arrive in the capital.
The courtyard of the capital is still there, so the family went home directly.
Xiao Hanzheng changed and washed and went straight into the palace.
The emperor immediately summoned Xiao Hanzheng and praised him in front of several important officials.
also showed that Xiao Hanzheng would still be reused in the future.
also made these ministers discover that the emperor attached more importance to Xiao Hanzheng than they thought.
So everyone was very polite to Xiao Hanzheng, and no one was stupid enough to deliberately find fault.
After talking about the official business, the emperor and Xiao Hanzheng talked about the marriage of King Yi.
Soon, King Yi also entered the palace.
The emperor asked those old ministers to go back, and he stayed for Xiao Hanzheng.
After the news of spread, it also made many ministers sour.
The emperor also paid too much attention to Xiao Hanzheng. There were so many ministers in the entire court, and the emperor kept them together for dinner, no more than a slap in the face.
As a result, many people were more determined to make up the idea of Xiao Baili and Xiao Hanyi.
