Chapter 232: No wonder they could be together. They were all so shameless

Xiao Hanzheng also walked out.

When he saw his scumbag father coughing up blood and being supported by his close relatives, he thought to himself, ‘this is just the beginning’.

He also saw his little wife singing happily outside.

He restrained the smile in his eyes.

There was a hint of sadness on his face as he walked out.

He walked in front of Shi Qingluo with a face full of guilt. “My wife, it’s all my fault. I’ve made you suffer.

“Don’t worry, I won’t be threatened by General Xiao and divorce you.”

“In the worse case, I won’t be able to pass the imperial examination. Let’s go back and farm.”

He sighed. “It’s just that my wife was wronged and I made her suffer along with me. She was even bullied.”

“We’re husband and wife. Moreover, you’re so good to me, and you didn’t listen to the general’s threats and instructions. No matter how bitter it is, I’ll follow you.” Shi Qingluo wiped away her tears.

This was the first time she realized that her young husband was also a drama king.

This way, they were completely portrayed as weaklings who were bullied and persecuted by the great general’s father.

After all, they could not compete with the father’s strength now, so it was not a wise move to fight head-on.

Humans naturally sympathized with weaklings.

Although Daliang ruled the world with filial piety, the his father had cut off relations with them on his own initiative.

What he did was so repulsive, and those who were watching the show would stand on their side.

Moreover, this would also prevent his father from doing anything when the little husband continued to take the imperial examinations.

In any case, the first thing everyone thought of was that his father had done something.

He was playing with public opinion.

Xi Rui and the others found that Xiao Hanzheng was very dark.

This also confirmed his father’s evil deeds and also threw the blame on him.

Liang Youxiao’s eyes flashed. “Although the general has a high position and power, he can’t hide the truth with one hand.

“If he doesn’t let you take the imperial examination, or if you interfere during the examination, then we will help you sue him.”

Xi Rui continued to be indignant. “Yes, if you can’t continue the imperial examination, then the general will interfere. I will go to the palace and ask the Emperor to help you make the decision.”

He deliberately pricked his heart. “Fortunately, General Xiao broke off the engagement with you. Otherwise, you wouldn’t be able to sue him at the general’s residence.”

If the engagement had not been broken off, Xiao Yuanshi would have used filial piety or an excuse to prevent Xiao Hanzheng from going to the imperial examinations.

That would have been very troublesome.

Shi Qingluo was right.

It was all thanks to that little wife of Xiao Yuanshi, who was petty and mischievous.

Otherwise, the couple would have been controlled by Xiao Yuanshi.

Xiao Hanzheng smiled bitterly and folded his arms to Xi Rui and the others. “Thank you for your help!”

Back then, when his father had proposed to break off their family ties, he had also seen that she was threatening him, but he had agreed without hesitation.

Not only for his mother and younger siblings, but also for the sake of not being controlled by his father and that woman with filial piety in the future.

Just like now, when Old Lady Xiao was playing tricks in the general’s residence, no matter how much his father hated that woman, as long as it was for the sake of his reputation and future, he would not dare to do anything to the old lady.

Xi Rui waved his hand. “We also don’t like those who bully others with their power.”

Liang Youxiao nodded. “That’s right. We like to do what is right.”

The corners of the mouths of a few young noblemen who were standing not far away twitched.

It was already good enough that you did not bully others with your power.

It was not good enough that you did not like it or that you liked to do what was right. How shameless were you to say such words.

However, the surrounding commoners all agreed. “That’s right. This is the emperor’s territory. I don’t think that a general can cover the truth with just one hand.”

When it came to bullying by the powerful, the commoners would naturally stand by the weaker ones.

Some people would even be brought in to be filled with righteous indignation.

Moreover, there had been quite a number of big dramas staged in the general’s residence recently.

After the “hard work” of Old Lady Xiao and the others, Ge Chunru’s reputation was basically ruined.

In addition, Shi Qingluo and Xiao Hanzheng acted like they were being bullied.

It was very plausible.

Therefore, everyone subconsciously had a very bad impression of Xiao Yuanshi and Ge Chunru.

Especially those who were somebody’s first wives, they hated these kind of heartless men the most.

They hated shameless men who had a mistress.

In their opinion, a mistress’s status was not as high as a concubine’s.

Inside the general residence, Xiao Yuanshi used his hand to wipe away the blood stains on his lips.

When he heard the words outside, he was so angry that his chest heaved up and down.

He had now discovered that his daughter-in-law was shameless and black-hearted.

His son was also not a good person.

No wonder they were so shameless to be able to form a pair.

Today, he had really experienced what it meant to turn black into white.

His personal attendant could not help but ask, “Master, do you want to go out?”

If he did not go out and prove his innocence, the water splashed on his master’s body would only become dirtier.

They had not expected that the eldest young master’s wife would be so valiant.

Not only did her sharp words make the general speechless, but she could also run out and spout nonsense to distort black and white, directly causing the general to vomit blood in anger.

One could imagine that the people outside were definitely scolding the general now.

Xiao Yuanshi’s face was terrifyingly gloomy. “I’m not going. I’ll just get on the carriage and leave through the side door.”

If he went out to explain now, it would only make things worse.

After all, the people outside had already taken the lead.

Moreover, Xi Rui and the other bastards were also acting as “witnesses”.

Perhaps no one would believe his words.

He was extremely depressed.

Even when he was still poor, he had never suffered such a great loss, and he had never felt so aggrieved.

The key was that the bad daughter-in-law was very eloquent.

How would he explain it if he went out now?

He was sure that once he opened his mouth to explain or blame the two of them, that wretched girl would continue to dig up old grudges against him.

Those things did indeed exist, and he could not refute them.

Therefore, he could only swallow his grievance and let her twist the facts and white.

There was still time in the future. He would be able to make up for the grievance and grievance he suffered today in the future.

His trusted aides could only help him walk towards the place where the carriage was parked.

In the past, the coachman would drive the carriage to the door first while the general would get on the carriage from the front door and leave.

Now, they all felt aggrieved, let alone the general.

After Xiao Yuanshi left, the servant from the waiting residence immediately walked out.

He said to Xiao Hanzheng in public, “Young master, General Xiao left through the side door.”

Liang youxiao immediately interjected, “He ran away with a guilty conscience!”

Xi Rui said from the side, “That’s right. Everyone’s eyes are bright when they realize that we are upholding justice. He felt that he was in the wrong, so he could only run away.”

Shi Qingluo also felt that the acting was almost done. She asked in a wronged tone, “Then, will he not force my husband to divorce me again?”

Xiao Hanzheng held her hand. “Don’t worry, my wife. I won’t agree to it.”

Shi Qingluo looked at him with tears in her eyes.

She said worriedly, “I’m just afraid that he will continue to force you. You won’t be able to study in peace anymore.”

She added, “My husband, let’s go back to Nanxi county tomorrow. That way, he won’t be able to force you anymore.”

Xiao Hanzheng’s face was filled with helplessness. “Alright, let’s go back to Nanxi county.”

They were supposed to go back the next day.

Now that his daughter-in-law said that, it was Xiao Hanzheng’s scumbag father who had forced them.

How clever.

The way the two of them looked made the onlookers want to curse general Xiao.

General Xiao was really too much. This was his biological son.

Those who didn’t know would think that he was some enemy.

After a while, Shi Qingluo was persuaded by Xi Rong to return to the residence.

The onlookers also dispersed.

But what happened at the door, like a tornado, quickly spread in the capital.
