Chapter 192: Isn’t it obvious?
Xiao Hanzheng just looked at them quietly, as if he didn’t care whether they believed him or not.
The old Xiao family was a little scared.
Mdm Wang couldn’t help but look at her son and ask, “Have you been fooling around in those places recently?”
Eldest Grandson Xiao immediately shook his head. “No, I haven’t been there.”
“Then Hanzheng must have diagnosed your illness wrongly.” Mdm Wang was relieved.!!
Her son had been spending a lot of time in the courtyard recently, and he had not gone out to wander around.
Shi Qingluo said, “Bring him out to consult another doctor, and you’ll know if my husband has misdiagnosed him.”
Her young husband’s diagnosis suggested that Eldest Grandson Xiao’s illness had already started to flare up, and a doctor from outside would definitely be able to sense it in his pulse.
Xiao Hanzheng nodded. “That’s right, you guys can go outside and see a doctor outside first.”
Eldest Grandson Xiao was scared upon hearing their advice.
He had really been feeling unwell for the past few days, and now he even felt that his body was itchy.
“Let’s go out to see a doctor first.”
If he was seeing a doctor for this kind of illness, it would of course be difficult for the women to follow.
Hence, Eldest Son Xiao and Third Son Xiao accompanied them.
The old lady and the others just sat at home to wait for updates.
Although the old lady was feeling a little unsettled because of her eldest grandson, she still could not help but ask, “What reward did you get for offering the seeds?”
Shi Qingluo replied truthfully, “I asked for a manor, and my husband asked for permission to look through the previous examination papers.”
Old Lady Xiao widened her eyes. “That’s it?”
Shi Qingluo raised her eyebrows. “What else?”
Old Lady Xiao felt that his grandson and granddaughter-in-law had lost their minds. “Are you guys stupid? After making such a great contribution, don’t you want to be deployed as an official or get more gold, silver, and jewellery?”
Shi Qingluo glanced at her. “With my husband’s ability, he will naturally become an official after becoming a scholar. Why do we have to ask for it?
“If you want gold, silver, and jewellery, you just have to spend more effort to earn them.”
Then, she continued to say righteously, “Those corn seeds were specially prepared by my immortal master for the emperor. We didn’t contribute much, so how can we just climb up the pole and randomly ask for these things?”
She looked down on him. “Letting people in Daliang to have a full meal is the most important. Why are you all eyeing on material goods like gold, silver, and jewellery?”
Her young husband said that the emperor had informants everywhere, so she was more cautious when she spoke in front of a crowd.
She could even criticise the old Xiao family’s troublemakers.
Old Lady Xiao and the others were speechless.
They actually could not refute what she said.
They had just obtained a shabby manor, why should they be so concerned about it?
Old Lady Xiao was somewhat unwilling to give up and said, “Why don’t you give this credit to my eldest grandson and let him directly become an official of the capital?”
Shi Qingluo looked at her in shock. “Someone like him still wants to become an official in the capital? Do you wish for him to die even faster?”
The old Xiao family uttered under their breath, this wretched girl’s mouth was too vicious.
The old lady glared at Shi Qingluo. “Why are you cursing our eldest grandson while you speak?”
Shi Qingluo glared back. “It’s obvious that you guys want to harm him. What does it have to do with me?
“If you want to falsely claim credit, you’ll have to be prepared to behead him in front of the public. Aren’t you guys trying to make him die earlier?
“Furthermore, he’s not even a tongsheng. If he suddenly becomes an official in the capital, with his intelligence level, he’ll definitely be suppressed by others.”
Lady Wang felt stifled and couldn’t take it anymore. “What’s wrong with his intelligence level? My eldest son is very smart.”
Shi Qingluo pursed her lips. “If he was smart, he wouldn’t have been fooled by others and even contracted that kind of illness.”
Lady Wang looked at Shi Qingluo unhappily. “Isn’t it still not confirmed yet? Maybe your husband misdiagnosed him.”
If anyone else said this to her son, she would have already torn his mouth apart.
However, after being beaten up by Shi Qingluo, she did not dare to do so.
Shi Qingluo waved her hand. “Then let’s wait and see.”
At this moment, they felt that they would not be able to reap any benefits from their seeds offering.
They seemed to be just waiting absentmindedly.
An hour later, Eldest Son Xiao and Third Son Xiao supported their pale-faced nephew as they walked in.
Seeing this, Old Lady Xiao stood up in heartache. “My eldest grandson, what happened to you? Don’t scare me!”
Eldest Grandson Xiao did not care about his grandma.
Instead, he entered the courtyard and suddenly pleaded with Xiao Hanzheng, “Hanzheng, please save me. I don’t want to die yet.”
His action gave the old Xiao family a fright.
“What’s wrong?”Old Lady Xiao had a bad feeling.
Eldest Grandson Xiao said with a bitter face, “It’s really a sexually transmitted disease.
“We went to the best medical clinic in the capital to look for the best doctor. He just needed to check my pulse to know it.
“He even said that there was no way to treat it and that I can only take some medicine to recuperate and see how it goes later.”
Old Lady Xiao looked as if the sky had fallen. “How did this happen?”
She ran in front of Eldest Grandson Xiao and asked, “My grandson, tell me, did you fool around with someone else?”
Eldest Grandson Xiao was about to cry at this moment. “I didn’t. I really didn’t.
“After coming to the capital, I’ve only touched one woman.”
When he said that, everyone understood he must have contracted the disease from that woman.
He didn’t even touch a woman back in their hometown.
Mdm Wang was so anxious that she was about to faint. “Didn’t you say that she was a pure woman?”
Eldest Grandson Xiao said with a bitter face, “She said that she was pure.”
The old lady asked, “So is she a virgin?”
Eldest Grandson Xiao shook his head and said, “I don’t know.”
“The night when I was with my concubine, I drank too much. When I woke up, I saw blood on the handkerchief.
“You all said that as long as the handkerchief is red, it’s correct.”
Shi Qingluo was speechless. “You can take a handkerchief, cut your hand and wipe some blood on it.”
Eldest Grandson Xiao and the other members of the old Xiao family were speechless.
What she said made sense.
Shi Qingluo asked, “Was that woman bullied by someone? Is she here because you were the hero who saved her?”
Eldest Grandson Xiao shook his head. “No.”
Shi Qingluo thought for a moment and raised her eyebrows. “She was selling herself in exchange for someone to bury her father. You helped her with the burial. In order to repay your kindness, she said that she would do anything to repay you, so she followed you back to the manor?”
Eldest Grandson Xiao widened his eyes. “How did you know?”
Shi Qingluo rolled her eyes. “This is an old trick. Only you would fall for it.
“Go and ask those dandies in the capital. If they meet someone like this, will they take up the offer or will they stay far away?”
In order to find an opportunity to meet for her to give her body away, this usually occurred when a hero had saved a girl or if the girl was selling her body in exchange to bury her loved ones.
Eldest Grandson Xiao’s expression changed. “So she deliberately approached me?”
Shi Qingluo was speechless. “Isn’t that obvious?
“And on the day you were with her, she made you drunk. Do you think that’s normal?
“You didn’t fool around. So, where did you contract the illness?”
Although Eldest Grandson Xiao wasn’t that smart, he wasn’t a fool either.
He gritted his teeth and said, “That b * tch, she actually deliberately harmed me.”
Mdm Wang also looked like she was about to rush back and fight. “When I go back, I’ll skin that b * tch.”
The other members of the old Xiao family wanted to gobble that woman up.
Seeing that they were so impulsive, Shi Qingluo immediately stopped them. “Don’t rush back to settle the score first. You are only alerting your enemy from your impulsive acts.”
