Chapter 114: He was also talented
Xiao Yuanshi was so angry that he was going to vomit blood.
Ge Chunru, who was lying on the bed with a headache, fainted from anger when she heard this.
When she woke up, she was really sick.
However, she still had to get up and stabilise Ge Chunyi, who was like an angry lion wanting to slash the old Xiao family.
She hugged her younger brother and cried, “Don’t be rash. Their lives are not as valuable as yours.!!
“Just bear with it for now. I will not let them have it easy.”
She also wished for them to die, but not yet.
Those people were too vicious. They had ruined her brother’s future.
She would definitely not let them go.
Ge Chunyi broke down. “They have gone too far. They actually caused me to be expelled from the academy.
“How am I going to survive in the capital in the future? How am I going to clinch a zhuangyuan in martial arts?”
His bright future was completely doomed.
But his sister was right. If he killed those people, he would have to pay with his life.
He wasn’t prepared to die.
Ge Chunru couldn’t help but comfort him. “It’s okay. I’ll ask your brother-in-law to arrange for you to train in the army.
“Come back here a few years later and ask him to think of a way to get you into infantry. You’ll still have a promising future.
“In a few more years, this matter won’t affect you much. Many people will forget about it.”
She was also consoling herself.
If her younger brother laid low, it naturally wouldn’t have much of an impact.
However, once he became an official, there would definitely be people who would use today’s matter to attack him.
They would say that her younger brother’s conduct wasn’t good and was even expelled from the academy before.
However, she definitely couldn’t say this out loud.
Otherwise, her younger brother would go crazy and she would have to bear the consequences herself.
She would think of a way to save her brother’s reputation when the time was right.
“As long as you have contributed to the war or anything else, these incidents would not be a big deal at all.”
She encouraged her brother, “The more they are like this, the more you can’t give up on yourself. We have to take revenge.”
Ge Chunyi gritted his teeth in hatred. “Alright, I’ll listen to my sister.”
Only his sister would protect him. Now, he even blamed Xiao Yuanshi.
The old lady and the others successfully caused Ge Chunyi to be expelled from the academy and were very happy.
Eldest Grandson Xiao felt that this was the most satisfying. “Hmph, let’s see how arrogant that little bastard can be.”
This fellow’s future was over.
In the future, he would enjoy more resources in the general’s manor.
Shi Qingluo was right. Why should a wild brat be able to snatch his things? He should bear the consequences for doing so.
If his second uncle focused his attention to nurture him, he would definitely be more powerful than that little bastard and be famous in the capital.
That girl’s idea was indeed good. Anyway, they will stand at the vantage point and cause a ruckus.
If they had any evidence, they would use it immediately.
She told them not to hold on to the evidence, otherwise it would be a waste.
Therefore, they quickly used yesterday’s incident for their attack today.
In addition to his grandmother’s, his mother’s, and third aunt’s combat power, the little bastard really ended up in a bad state.
After returning, Old Lady Xiao and the others decided to be more obedient.
They let Xiao Yuanshi run over and throw a tantrum and did not refute him.
Xiao Yuanshi seemed to have punched cotton.
He vented his anger but to no avail. In the end, he left sullenly.
Then, he had someone keep an eye on the happenings in the capital and don’t let the earlier incidents spread.
But things didn’t go as planned.
What happened in the general’s manor that day was deliberately aired to others.
The general’s wife was unfilial to her mother-in-law.
She allowed her younger brother to talk back to her mother-in-law and beat up his elders.
She and her brother even deliberately hid the silver and valuables in the general’s manor’s storeroom.
The men from the capital magistrate discovered it.
The general’s wife’s younger brother’s conduct was improper and he was expelled from the academy in the capital.
These matters spread like wildfire in the capital.
It was too late for Xiao Yuanshi to send people to stop them.
The entire general’s manor had also become the capital’s biggest laughing stock recently.
This had also tarnished Ge Chunru’s reputation.
She disrespected her mother-in-law, allowed her younger brother to do evil, and transferred the storeroom’s belongings elsewhere.
These three incidents of misconduct caused all the noblewomen in the capital to blacklist her.
Those who had bribed beggars, restaurants, waiters, storytellers, and others to publicise this matter had already received their returns had hid themselves well.
They also wrote a letter and sent it to Nanxi county through the courier Station.
7 days later, Xiao Hanzheng, who was studying in the county, received a letter.
He had just finished school. He took the letter but did not open it.
Instead, he returned to the village in a horse carriage.
He had been in school for a month and had adapted very well.
That old ex-official who chose to leave the service early also came to Nanxi county to teach a few lessons there.
Xiao Hanzheng did not immediately request to be his apprentice.
Instead, he continued to study hard and performed exceptionally well.
Today, that old ex-official set a question on current affairs.
Xiao Hanzheng knew the old man’s likings, so all of his answers satisfied him.
As expected, the old man praised him.
He accepted disciples with caution, so Xiao Hanzheng couldn’t do it too hurriedly.
He had to first catch his attention, then adapt himself to suit his preferences.
It was almost evening when they returned to the village, and Xiao Baili had already prepared dinner.
Many students in the county school lived in the school dormitory.
In order to see his wife, mother and younger siblings, Xiao Hanzheng still insisted on riding a carriage back and forth every day.
After dinner, the two of them went out for a walk out of habit and went to their new house to take a look.
Now that the floor tiles were completed, the workers were laying the timber, making cabinets and other furniture.
The two workers had already finished their work and were quite satisfied with the house, so they sat in the courtyard and made good use of the tables and benches made of cement to enjoy the shade.
Xiao Hanzheng took out an envelope from his bosom and tore it open.
He smiled at Shi Qingluo and said, “My wife, let’s read it together.”
Shi Qingluo was stunned. “It’s from the Xiao’s troublemakers too? They were so fast to mail the second letter?”
Xiao Hanzheng said truthfully, “It’s not from them. It’s someone else I arranged.”
He didn’t intend to hide anything from his little wife.
Shi Qingluo was immediately interested when she heard that and waited for him to elaborate more.
She stood up and sat on Xiao Hanzheng’s lap. “Sure, let’s read it together.”
He just opened the letter now.
From the looks of her little husband, he was deliberately waiting to read it with her.
Shi Qingluo felt a sense of sweetness that she had never felt before.
Xiao Hanzheng hugged his little wife and opened the letter to read it from the start to the end.
The contents surprised Xiao Hanzheng.
He really did not expect those vicious and stupid troublemakers to be so powerful and valiant under his little wife’s guidance.
Not only did they destroy that woman’s reputation so quickly, but they also crippled that woman’s most prideful younger brother.
In his previous life, Ge Chunyi took the martial arts scholar exam and was sent to military training for two years.
Then, his scumbag father found a way to transfer him back to the capital to join the Ministry of War. His future was bright.
On the other hand, that woman played tricks on Xiao Hanzheng.
He was forced to quit school after instigating Old Lady Xiao and the others to create trouble in the county.
He had never expected that the finale in this life would actually change.
It was really satisfying!
Xiao Hanzheng could not help but hug his little wife tightly in his arms and bury his head on her shoulder.
Smelling the soap fragrance on her body eased his heart.
Indeed, nothing was the same in this life.
Shi Qingluo laughed out loud after reading the letter. “The troublemakers of the old Xiao family are indeed worthy of being taught!”
Even she was surprised by their combating abilities. Commendable.
Suddenly, she realised that her young husband was hugging her tightly and resting his head on her shoulder.
She guessed that her young husband must be affected by the letter.
She quickly thought of the matter of that woman’s younger brother dropping out of school.
Therefore, it was very likely that her young husband had also been forced to drop out of the county school by the old lady and the others in her previous life.
That was why he did not become that ex-officer’s disciple and had some regrets.
Her heart ached for the young husband, and her entire body leaned softly against him.
“When did you arrange for someone to go to the capital? That woman’s reputation has been tarnished, and it’s all thanks to these people who spread the news in time.”
Otherwise, his scumbag father would definitely arrange some men to suppress these matters as much as possible, or to minimise the impact.
At the very least, it would not reach the point where almost everyone in the capital knew about it.
Her young husband is really a big shot worthy for her to hug his thigh. He was really talented!
