Shi Qingluo looked at Ge Chunru’s self-righteous expression and felt that it was funny.
She raised her eyebrows.
“I’m not slandering you. I’m just recounting the incident of you having an affair at the flower banquet in the capital.
“Did you and Zheng Tongfeng not have an affair? Did he not kiss you?”
Ge Chunru glared at Shi Qingluo. “You framed me.”!!
Shi Qingluo laughed.
“Those legs are yours. If you had nothing to do with Zheng Tongfeng, would you have gotten together with him?
“That mouth is also yours. If there’s nothing fishy between the two of you, why would you kiss him so passionately?
“I wasn’t the only one who saw it. Everyone saw you two hugging and making out, and you want to blame it on me?
“I’m just asking, have you kissed Zheng Tongfeng?”
Seeing that Ge Chunru was about to refute, she said, “If this isn’t the truth, I’ll die without any descendants. If it’s the truth, then your brother will die without any descendants.”
Whether or not Little Lady Ge was doing it willingly, the two had kissed at that time, this was a fact.
Ge Chunyi remained silent.
What does this have to do with her? This woman was too vicious.
However, it was also because of Shi Qingluo’s words that Ge Chunyi looked at Ge Chunru in shock.
He really didn’t expect his sister to have an affair in the capital and was even caught being intimate in public.
This was too embarrassing.
Xiao Yuanshi’s face darkened and he even felt embarrassed.
Ge Chunru was trembling with anger. “Shi Qingluo, don’t go too far.”
She had indeed kissed Zheng Tongfeng, so she did not dare to refute her.
It was Shi Qingluo’s fault for cursing her brother.
She did not dare to take the risk.
This wretched girl was very evil.
Shi Qingluo shrugged his shoulders. “I’m just speaking the truth. Is this too much?
“Is it as overboard as you getting people to beat up your in-laws?”
“You!” Ge Chunru choked.
Old Lady Xiao looked at Ge Chunru with disdain.
“You’re not only a jinx, you’re also a fickle and shameless b * tch.
“Second Son Xiao, even if you’re blind, is your heart blind as well?
“Do you really have to keep such a troublemaker and make the deputy governor’s office more and more outrageous?”
Xiao Yuanshi was in great pain.
“Mother, what should I say if others ask me why I divorced my wife?
“I’ve just arrived in Northern City and haven’t established myself yet.
“I’d better not do something that’s not good for my reputation for the time being.
“If I’m dragged down because of my bad reputation, I won’t be able to take care of my brothers and nephews,” he added meaningfully.
Old Lady Xiao rolled her eyes. “Do you think I’m a fool? You’ll be pulled down just because you divorce your wife? ”
She snorted coldly.
“It’s fine if you don’t want to divorce your wife. I’ll sue your wife for beating up your in-laws and beating up a court official.”
“Mother, this place is so far away from the capital, how are you going to sue us?” Xiao Yuanshi said helplessly.
“I’ll get Chunru to apologize. You can beat or punish her as you wish, but please don’t mention the divorce again, okay? ”
If this was in the capital, he would be afraid that the old lady would go to the capital magistrate to make a scene, but at Northern City, he did not have such concerns.
He did not believe that the old lady would really go to the capital to complain.
The old lady sneered.
“Why should I go to the capital to sue? I’ll go to King Jin’s residence and find King Jin to complain. This is the fief under his jurisdiction.
“Although he can’t deal with your status as a deputy governor, your wife neither received an imperial verdict nor gained any status. I believe King Jin can handle this fairly.”
Xiao Yuanshi didn’t expect his own mother to say such words.
He couldn’t help but look at Shi Qingluo.
This was definitely taught by his bad daughter-in-law.
Shi Qingluo raised her brows at him, giving him a ‘I taught her, what can you do to me’ look.
Xiao Yuanshi sighed, how did he end up with such a mother and daughter-in-law?”
If this matter was brought to King Jin’s attention, he could indeed punish Ge Chunru for beating up an official from the imperial court.
Most importantly, with King Jin’s temperament, it was very likely that he would use this matter to make things difficult for him.
“Mother, please calm down. Don’t be angry anymore.”
On the surface, he really couldn’t let the old lady cause a scene with King Jin, so he coaxed her.
“Chunru knows that she’s in the wrong. She’ll make it up to you.”
“Second Son Xiao, I think you’re really muddleheaded, ” said Old Lady Xiao.
“This woman has done so much harm to you, yet you still want to keep her.”
Xiao Yuanshi forced a smile. no matter what, she has been with me for so long. If she is divorced, how can she live?
“Mother, please think from my point of view.”
Old Lady Xiao seemed to be touched by his words and fell into deep thought.
“Alright, I’ll let her go on your account,” she said after a while.
Xiao Yuanshi and Ge Chunru were relieved.
Then, the old lady changed the topic.
“If you divorce her, you will be embarrassed. She won’t be able to face the world either.
“Then demote your wife to a concubine.
“She’s a woman of no morals, no virtue, and can’t give birth to children.
“She’s a promiscuous woman. She’s not qualified to be your wife.
“Letting her stay in the deputy governor’s office as a concubine is considered giving her an easy way. I’ve shown mercy.”
Xiao Yuanshi was stunned, apparently not expecting the old lady to make such a request.
Ge Chunru’s expression changed again. “No, I don’t want to.”
It would be humiliating for her to be downgraded from a wife to a concubine.
“That’s not up to you to decide, ” Old Lady Xiao snorted.
Then, he scolded Ge Chunru.
“In the past, Mdm Kong was filial to her in-laws and took care of her children. Even when she didn’t do anything wrong, you almost made her become a concubine. Why can’t you do the same?
“Don’t forget, you also beat your in-laws, jinxed your husband and children, cheated on your husband, and couldn’t give birth to children.
“Letting you be a concubine is already giving you face, don’t be so ungrateful.”
Ge Chunru was so angry that her eyes turned black. This old woman was too much.
“Since Little Lady Ge could make such a suggestion back then, I’m sure it’s easy to accept,” Shi Qingluo said with a smile.
She looked at Ge Chunru with a faint smile and said, “If others can be demoted to a concubine, you can too.”
Ge Chunru felt a chill run down her spine.
She now completely understood that the old lady had been incited by this wretched girl.
His true purpose was not to let her leave the Xiao family, but to demote her to a concubine and avenge Mdm Kong.
“Mother, you’ve been used by Shi Qingluo. She’s targeting me on behalf of Mdm Kong.
“She’s using you to sow discord between us,” she said to the old lady.
Didn’t Old Lady Xiao know that Shi Qingluo was using her to deal with Ge Chunru? Of course she knew.
However, the enemy of one’s enemy was one’s friend.
This little b * tch who dared to let someone slap her was their common enemy.
“What do you mean by sowing discord? You’re the dirty one, but don’t think that others are as dirty as you.
“You were able to make Second Son Xiao treat Mdm Kong like that back then. Now that it’s your turn, but you are unwilling. You’re really evil!”
Old Lady Xiao looked at Xiao Yuanshi and said, “Second Son Xiao, think about it carefully. She jinxed you and caused you to be embarrassed. Should she still be your first wife?
“I’m your mother. How could I harm you?
“I’ll give you two days to think about it. If you don’t give up on her and don’t demote her to a concubine, I’ll go to King Jin and sue her.
“Out of the seven reasons for a divorce, she fulfills six: unfilial to her parents, is childless, lewd, jealous, talkative, and committed thievery.
“If you can’t bear to do so, then your father and I will divorce her on behalf of the Xiao family and cross her off the family tree. Our Xiao family can’t afford to have a daughter-in-law like her.”
She snorted. “If you don’t believe me, we can wait and see.”
