Xiao Hanzheng hugged Shi Qingluo and leaned close to her ear and chuckled.

“My wife and I thought of the same thing again.

“I will imitate Ge Chunyi’s words later and secretly get someone to send it to Ge Chunru.

“Just say that Ge Chunyi accidentally discovered that Eldest Grandson Xiao sending him to mine was actually supported by General Xiao from behind.

“This way, we will be a good show to watch.”

Shi Qingluo’s eyes lit up. “You’re also very good at playing!”

A big shot was indeed a big shot.

Even when he did bad things, he was so different from the rest.

However, there was still a hurdle in imitating other people’s handwriting.

If he were someone else, he wouldn’t be able to do it even if he wanted to.

She asked, “Did you send the letter?”

Xiao Hanzheng shook his head. “I haven’t sent it yet. I have to let Ge Chunyi suffer enough and let Ge Chunru know that I sent someone to rescue her brother. Only then would her heart ache even more.

“I plan to get someone to send the letter to Ge Chunru after the enke next year..

“It would be best if we are on our way to the capital for me to sit for the examinations.”

“Then you’ll be able to watch a good show.”

He knew that his wife liked to watch this kind of show the most, so he naturally had to fulfill her wish.

Shi Qingluo’s eyebrows and eyes curved into a smile.

She turned her body sideways, hugged his neck, and kissed him. “Brother Zheng, I love you to the grave.”

She chuckled and said, “I’m not willing to watch the drama of a husband and wife turning against each other, but I really want to watch the drama between your scumbag father and Ge Chunru.”

Then, she winked at Xiao Hanzheng. “You’ve already made arrangements for Ge Chunru and the old Xiao family, right?”

Xiao Hanzheng kissed her face. “My wife understands me better!

“After some time, I’ll let Eldest Grandson Xiao know that the person who instigated him was actually someone sent by my scumbag father.”

“I will also let the old lady and the others know that the gambling house in the county town is my scumbag father’s property.

“My scumbag father wants to trick Eldest Grandson Xiao into gambling and then spit out all the silver that they stole from Ge Chunyi and all the money that they took from the general’s residence.”

Shi Qingluo chuckled and said, “This way, the resentment of the old Xiao family toward your scumbag father will definitely be even greater.”

The main reason was that they did not want to let his scumbag father take advantage of them.

They were also afraid that Eldest Grandson Xiao would lose his silver and run off to target the commoners.

Otherwise, they would not have had to stop the scumbag father from doing anything.

She asked, “If your scumbag father can’t get the money, will he think of other ways?”

Xiao Hanzheng thought for a moment and said, “It’s hard to say, but my scumbag father definitely won’t let it go just like that.

“He won’t let Eldest Grandson Xiao and the others have the chance to return to the capital and cause harm to the general’s residence.”

Shi Qingluo nodded. “Mmm, then let’s add fuel to the fire and let them fight properly.”

After that, if his scumbag father wanted to deal with the old Xiao family, they could add fuel to the fire as well.

Only after the old Xiao family suffered greatlywould they be able to hate his scumbag father even more and return to the capital to avenge in the future.

She then changed the topic. “Ge Chunru is really willing to give up for her younger brother and sister.”

“She gave her younger brother 30,000 taels of silver to the northern border and prepared a dowry of tens of thousands of taels of silver for younger sister. This is the intention of emptying the general’s residence!

“Your scumbag father really loves her to even turn a blind eye to this.”

Xiao Hanzheng chuckled. “His heart must be aching for her. He wanted to make use of the Xiao family to get back those going to Ge Chunyi. He was willing to invest in Ge Chunying and only wanted to reap benefits from the second prince.

“But after giving these two sums of money, the general’s residence shouldn’t have much money left. Their foundation isn’t strong enough.”

Shi Qingluo asked, “Do you think he’ll be dissatisfied with his little wife?”

Xiao Hanzheng nodded. “Definitely. He loves himself the most.”

Shi Qingluo rubbed her palms together. “Then let’s send a message to Tao Liu and let her sow discord between Xiao Yuanshi and the money left at home. We’ll make Ge Chunru suffer.”

No matter what, they couldn’t let Ge Chunru have it easy.

Xiao Hanzheng laughed. “Alright, I’ll listen to you.”

In the capital.

The second prince arranged to meet Xiao Yuanshi.

After discussing the matter of Chunying marrying into his residence, the second prince asked tentatively, “General Xiao, how is your relationship with Xiao Hanzheng coming along?”

Of course, he knew that Xiao Yuanshi had gone to look for Xiao Hanzheng and was schemed against by Shi Qingluo and his reputation worsened.

Asking this question was just a foreshadowing.

Xiao Yuanshi’s face darkened.

He thought that this second prince was really bringing up a sore spot.

He said perfunctorily, “Not much.”

He could not help but want to give up on healing his relationship with his son.

That bad daughter-in-law of his was really too difficult to deal with.

If he were to mend their relationship, he would probably die of anger as long as they met.

Moreover, it seemed that his heartless son did not want to do so either.

The second prince saw his expression and thought for a while, but he did not beat around the bush. “Do you think we can use other methods to rope in Xiao Hanzheng and his wife?

“Shi Qingluo is an expert at making money.

“Liang Youxiao and Xi Rong have been earning quite a lot recently.

“If we can make her work for us, we can save a lot of hassle.”

He sighed and could not help but complain, “You really shouldn’t have broken off the kinship. After all, Xiao Hanzheng, your biological son, hasn’t bothered you in any way.”

If they had not broken off the kinship, Xiao Yuanshi being used by him would mean that Xiao Hanzheng and his wife could also be used by him.

Xiao Yuanshi also knew that Liang Youxiao and Xi Rong had been earning a lot of envy recently.

He was also envious.

After all, if not for his bad daughter-in-law, the two of them would not have earned so much, especially when he thought of Liu Ru’s words.

If he had not listened to Ge Chunru’s advice to break off his relationship with his son, Xiao Hanzheng and his wife would not have hated him so much.

Their method of earning money would also be useful to generate funds for the general’s manor.

Now that the second prince was complaining, he felt even more regretful and uncomfortable.

At the same time, he could not help but feel a little resentful toward his petite wife.

He shook his head. “I can’t do anything about Xiao Hanzheng and his wife.”

The second prince thought for a moment. “What if we start with someone else?”

He did not intend to harm those around Xiao Hanzheng, but he was considering whether he could rope them in and use this opportunity to rope in the couple.

Hearing his words, Xiao Yuanshi was stunned and an idea immediately snapped in his mind.

If the second prince did not mention it, he had almost forgotten about his other children.

“My eldest son values his younger brother and sister very much. Perhaps we can start from them.”

The second prince despised Xiao Yuanshi in his heart.

Xiao Hanzheng’s younger brother and sister were also his biological children.

When it came to scheming, he did not show any mercy.

But his expression did not change. “Then how do we start?”

Xiao Yuanshi shook his head. “I can’t think of that either. Why don’t I go back and ask my wife?

“Although we can start with the two of them, I hope that we won’t hurt them.”

He revealed a guilty expression and emphasized, “Or maybe we can do it for them.”

The second prince rolled his eyes in his heart. What good move could that poisonous wife of yours have?

Xiao Yuanshi was really captivated by that little wife of his.

He still couldn’t see clearly that she was vicious.

However, he still couldn’t think of a good way.

Hence, he nodded. “Then I’ll have to trouble you to ask, General Xiao.”

Xiao Yuanshi smiled. “Your Highness is too polite. It’s my honor to serve, your Highness!”

When the second prince heard this, his smile deepened. “I’ve always known that General Xiao is a smart person.”

He raised his wine glass. “Come, let me toast to the general.”

Xiao Yuanshi raised his wine glass and clinked it with his.

Everything was said without utterance.
