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

Chapter 126: A Crisis

Xiao Yuanshi thought deeply for a moment.

He instructed his trusted aide, "Continue to send people to keep an eye on Zheng'er. It's best to create an opportunity to destroy his reputation."

He acted as if he was thinking of his son. "The capital is too complicated with bloodshed and the glint and flash of cold steel. It's not suitable for a village boy like him. He should just stay in Nanxi county and be a rich man."

Since he had opened a few workshops, he should manage them well and better not take the imperial examinations.

He couldn't manipulate him. Yet, he might even backstab him.

He had to be ruthless and cut off his son's path to success.

His trusted aide nodded. "Understood. You are also thinking for your eldest young master's sake, Sir."

Xiao Yuanshi thought for a moment and emphasized, "Don't leave any evidence behind. Do things cleanly. Don't let Zheng'er know about it and discover anything."

He was implying that his trusted aides shouldn't do it themselves.

They had to borrow someone else's knife to do it.

In the blink of an eye, Xiao Hanzheng had grown up.

He was doing well and Xiao Yuanshi didn't dare to act rashly.

Ultimately, he was just destroying his reputation.

If he aced the scholar examination but didn't have a good reputation, he wouldn't be highly sought after or given an important position by those senior civil servants in the imperial court.

Those people from the old residence had been egged on by that girl to come to the capital and purposely ruin their reputations.

He did not believe that his son would not know.

Since that was the case, he did not have to hold back his plans.

After ruining his reputation and future, he would stay in Nanxi County obediently.

His trusted aide knew what his master was thinking. "Yes, I will handle it personally."

Hearing their words, Ge Chunru's tightly clenched hands slowly loosened, and she also heaved a sigh of relief.

She said meaningfully, "It's better to help Hanzheng change a wife that is docile so that he won't be led astray again."

If it wasn't for Shi Qingluo's chongxi, Xiao Hanzheng would have died of illness by now.

Moreover, that little b * tch was also the one who came up with the recipes.

She didn't want Xiao Hanzheng to have a helpful aid by his side, so she had to solve the hidden trouble ahead of time.

She also did not want Xiao Hanzheng to find a wife who could help him in the future.

Hence, she reminded him again.

Xiao Yuanshi thought for a moment. "You can handle this. I'm a man. It's not good for me to interfere in it."

He had already instructed his aides to find a scapegoat to get rid of that bad daughter-in-law.

However, he did not want to worry about what kind of wife he wanted his son to change to.

It was better to leave this to his petite wife.

She would get someone to ask around in Nanxi County and help her find a gentle and virtuous person who did not have her own opinions.
