After Breaking Off My Marriage, I Became A Powerful Minister's Treasure

Chapter 76: Actually You Don't Need To Force Yourself

Xiao Yuanshi could not get anything out of her, so he did not ask any more questions.

He intended to keep an eye on Old Lady Xiao and the others to see if they had any contact with the people in the capital to make sure that no one in the capital was plotting against him behind his back.

After serving Old Lady Xiao for dinner, Ge Chunru also lost her appetite.

She looked at Xiao Yuanshi with tears in her eyes and mouthed "Xinghong."

She did not dare to take the initiative to speak again.

Otherwise, the old woman would very likely make things difficult for her again.

Xiao Yuanshi looked at the palm print on his lovely wife's face and the tears in her eyes.

His heart ached terribly.

He could not bear to say anything negative to her, whom he usually loved like a treasure.

His mother was really too much.

If this happened in the old residence, he would definitely be unable to resist making things difficult and would directly defend Ge Chunru.

However, he had too many scruples in the capital.

As a new noble in the imperial court, there were many people who wanted to catch him.

In the general's residence, he did not know if there were spies sent by any family, so he could only endure it.

Ever since he became a high flyer after holding an appointment at the border, he had not felt so aggrieved for a long time.

He asked on behalf of his petite wife, "Mother, where is Xinghong? Why didn't she come to the capital with you two?"

Old Lady Xiao had been observing the two of them the whole time, so she naturally noticed that this vixen had used her eyes to command his son around.

It was just like what Shi Qingluo said. This vixen was too scheming.

She would maintain her low visibility but would instigate her son to do it. She was very evil.

She spat, "It's fine if you don't mention that little hoof, but now that you mention it, I'm getting angry.

"She's not well-behaved in the village at all. She hooked up with a businessman and ran away with someone some time ago."

Before they came, Shi Qingluo had said that if the two of them asked about Xinghong, they shouldn't mention that they sold them, just say that she had run away with a bastard man.

This way, they could also squeeze Ge Chunru dry.

It would also cover up the fact that they sold her.

Therefore, Old Lady Xiao raised her head and looked meaningfully at Ge Chunru. She pointed at the Ge Chunru and cursed, "Like master, like the maid. They were very similar."

Her meaning was very obvious. Ge Chunru was equally shameless.

These words made Ge Chunru's expression change.

Her fingertips couldn't help but dig into the flesh of her palm.

Old Lady Xiao was too vicious. She actually humiliated her like this.

She absolutely didn't believe that Xinghong would run away with some merchant.

After all, she had previously promised Xinghong that as long as she could coax these disgusting people from the hometown, in the future when they bring her back, she would bring her to the high officials in the imperial court to be their concubine.
