Chapter 329: Where is your usual intelligence?

In Xiao Yuanshi's study room.

Shi Qingluo and Xiao Baili followed the butler into the study room.

The two of them greeted him first. "Hello, General Xiao/ex-father-in-law!"

Xiao Yuanshi did not like to hear the words "ex-father-in-law", but he did not say anything.

Because he knew that no matter what he said, his bad daughter-in-law would refute and rebuke him.

With a cold expression, he asked, "What's the matter?"

Xiao Baili took out a few pieces of paper from her sleeve and handed it over. "General Xiao, your eldest niece schemed against me. Shouldn't you give me an explanation?"

Xiao Yuanshi did not like his daughter's attitude.

He first took the paper and looked at it.

After reading it, his brows furrowed.

The paper was full of evidence of how Ge Chunru had conspired with Zheng Tongfeng to scheme against Xiao Baili.

There was also Zheng Tongfeng's testimony, but he didn't know where they had gotten it.

After reading these, he had a new understanding of Ge Chunru's ruthlessness.

She actually wanted Zheng Tongfeng to directly destroy his daughter's innocence and let the people attending the flower feast see it.

He had originally thought that she had just plotted for Zheng Tongfeng to hug or kiss Baili.

He sighed and asked, "What do you want?"

They had gathered so much evidence before coming here, which meant that the two of them had come prepared.

Xiao Baili did not beat around the bush. "Although this matter did not succeed, it had a psychological impact on it. It made me very afraid of getting married. Your eldest niece has caused me a lot of psychological trauma, so you have to compensate on behalf of her."

Xiao Yuanshi thought to himself, what the hell is a lot of psychological trauma?

He could not help but ask, "I think you're doing pretty well!"

Xiao Baili's eyes turned red immediately. "That's just on the surface. I'm having nightmares every night now, just in case your eldest niece plans to harm me again one day. If that's the case, I might as well shave my head and become a monk first. When the time comes, I'll tell everyone that it's all because of you, my father who I had broken my family ties with, and your eldest niece."

Shi Qingluo added, "Then, I'll bring Baili into the palace and ask the emperor to be the judge."

She said meaningfully, "When the time comes, perhaps I'll be able to think of a solution."

Xiao Yuanshi was speechless.

This was an open threat in the dark.

His daughter was really getting more and more shameless after being brought up by this bad daughter-in-law.

However, he did not dare to not believe Shi Qingluo's words.

After all, it was after this wretched girl entered the palace to offer a recipe that his position in the Ministry of war was removed.

This time, if she were to come up with a solution that could tempt the emperor and prevent him from going to the northern border, wouldn't he be crying?

Therefore, he gritted his teeth and asked, "How to compensate?"

Shi Qingluo said, "Fifty thousand taels of silver, not a single cent less."
