Translator: Dragon Boat Translation  Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Since the flower feast had been held, it wasn’t good to end it so quickly.

Thus, Second Lady Qi brought everyone around the courtyard once more.

On the other hand.

The male guests who had come to watch the show had all returned to their original seats.

Some people really dislike being associated with Zheng Tongfeng.

Hence, they suggested to Qi Yiyang, “Young Master Qi, in the future, it’s best not to invite a scum like Zheng Tongfeng to participate in gatherings.”

Qi Yiyang replied, “I really didn’t invite Zheng Tongfeng. He isn’t even a high scholar, so how could he be qualified to attend our flower feast?”

Xi Rui and the other two who were drinking were speechless.

Qi Yiyang continued, “He was brought here by Madam Zheng as a family member.

“I was wondering why an elementary scholar like him was here.”

He said meaningfully, “So he’s here for Madam Xiao.”

Everyone instantly understood.

These two people were really shameless.

No wonder Ge Chunru’s reputation was so bad.

She even came to attend the flower viewing banquet.

Zheng Tongfeng was even worse.

He didn’t even receive the invitation and just followed Madam Zheng.

It turned out that the two of them were planning to have a private meeting.

Unfortunately, they had been too focused on making out earlier and had been caught by the women.

Xi Rui gave an evil laugh. “Do you think that if General Xiao finds out about this, his face will turn green with embarrassment?”

Everyone thought to themselves, this guy was too bad, but this was for sure.

A man would not stand such a thing.

Thus, they all looked at General Xiao as a joke.

However, because Xiao Hanzheng was present, although they had already broken off their kinship, they did not say much, afraid that he would be unhappy.

In fact, Xiao Hanzheng did not care at all.

In the end, the flower feast ended in a hasty manner.

After everyone returned, the news of what happened at the flower feast began to spread.

When the news of Zheng Tongfeng and Ge Chunru spread, it shocked everyone.

These two people were too shameless.

They actually went to the flower feast, met privately and were even caught red-handed.

The madams and ladies of the various manors all decided that in the future, they would avoid Ge Chunru whenever they saw her.

It was embarrassing to be seen together with her.

After the madams despised Ge Chunru in their hearts, they secretly scolded Xiao Yuanshi for getting what he deserved.

He forced his wife to be demoted and married a woman like this. No one knew what he was after.

The men could not help but sympathize with Xiao Yuanshi.

The entire capital knew that he had been cuckolded.

Not to mention the recent scenes in the general’s residence, Xiao Yuanshi had also been humiliated greatly.

Back in the carriage.

Shi Qingluo smiled at Xiao Hanzheng and asked, “Your scumbag father has brought his beloved concubine to another manor. Who knows when he will find out that his petite wife has given him such a big surprise.”

They had received news from the general’s residence that Ge Chunying had stood up for Ge Chunru and smashed that scumbag father.

This had forced him to lift his movement restrictions on Ge Chunru.

It could also be that he was really angry, or he was afraid that Ge Chunru would find out that Tao Liu was pregnant.

Hence, on the second day after he was smashed, he brought his beloved concubine to another manor to recuperate.

Presumably, he also knew how vicious his little wife was and was afraid that Tao Liu would lose her child.

If he stayed with her in this manor until they went to the northern border, her fetus would be more stable.

Xiao Hanzheng curled his lips. “Naturally, we have to inform him to return as soon as possible.”

Shi Qingluo’s eyes lit up. “Your men went to inform your scumbag father?”

Xiao Hanzheng smiled. “Yes, they went to inform my scumbag father’s trusted aides.

“I believe that he will definitely return to the capital tonight.”

How could he only find out about such a good show two days later.

Xiao Hanzheng added, “Consider it a gift for my scumbag father for his return to the northern border.”

He didn’t know if his father would be surprised or not.

“Pfft!” Shi Qingluo smiled and lightly pinched his arm.

“Too bad.”

But she liked it.

That manor outside the capital.

Because the hot spring manor had been given to Xiao Baili, Xiao Yuanshi could only bring his beloved concubine to another manor.

He had bought this not long after returning to the capital, and he had also bought over a hundred mu of land around it.

The meat and vegetables that the general’s residence were eating mostly came from this manor.

At this moment, he was fishing by the pond.

It could be considered his rare moment of leisure.

Tao Liu sat beside him and personally peeled the apples for him to eat it piece by piece.

At this moment, Xiao Yuanshi’s trusted aide walked over with an ugly expression.

When Xiao Yuanshi saw this, he had a bad premonition in his heart.

“What’s the matter?”

His trusted aide found it difficult to speak, but he still recounted what had happened in the capital.

“Ah! How could this be?” Tao Liu covered her mouth in shock. “Madam, how dare Madam?”

However, her heart was bursting with joy.

She was still worried about how she would rise to her position after the child was born, but Ge Chunru had given her a chance.

Her fear towards Xiao Hanzheng and his wife deepened.

Other than the two of them, it was impossible for anyone else to have done this.

It was really amazing to actually get those from the public administrative house to cooperate.

No wonder she had sent a message to ask her to seize the opportunity and strive to be promoted after going to the northern border.

Xiao Yuanshi’s face instantly turned as dark as ink. “Is this true, or is someone spreading rumors?

“Or was she schemed against?”

His trusted aide braced himself and said, “It’s said that she was caught by those ladies who were present at the scene.”

“It is true. Moreover, Zheng Tongfeng insists that it was Madam who seduced him.

“He also has a note written by Madam. Through two people who have interacted with Madam, it is confirmed that it is Madam’s handwriting.”

Tao Liu’s face was filled with disbelief. “How is this possible? General is so good. Why would Madam go and seduce Zheng Tongfeng?

“Is there a misunderstanding?”

His trusted aide replied, “This is the news that came from the capital.”

“Everyone is saying…” he looked up at Xiao Yuanshi after saying these three words.

He could not continue the sentence.

Xiao Yuanshi broke the fishing rod in his hand and said with a dark face, “Speak.”

His trusted aide replied carefully, “Everyone is saying that the general is getting old and can’t satisfy Madam.”

After Xiao Yuanshi heard this, his face turned even darker. “B * stard, which b * stard spread this nonsense?”

His trusted aide swallowed his saliva. “It seems … it seems to be something your eldest daughter-in-law said at the flower feast.”

After he heard that, he immediately ordered his men to rush back to the capital to investigate everything before reporting it to the general.

Xiao Yuanshi was speechless.

With a black face, he gritted his teeth and said, “I don’t have this kind of daughter-in-law!”

He asked again, “Was Madam schemed against by Shi Qingluo?”

He did not believe that Ge Chunru would run off to steal Zheng Tongfeng.

But he could not stop feeling disgusted in his heart.

Especially when his trusted aide said that so many people saw Zheng Tongfeng hugging Ge Chunru so closely that they forgot themselves.

It was a fact that his wife had been kissed by someone else and that so many people had seen it.

His trusted aide replied, “According to the clues we have now, there are no traces of Shi Qingluo and our eldest young master being involved.

“Young Master Qi did not invite Zheng Tongfeng. He went alone.

“The flower feast has yet to officially start, and Madam went alone to appreciate the flowers in advance.

“Moreover, Madam’s servant has indeed looked for Zheng Tongfeng several times.”

At this moment, Xiao Yuanshi could not suppress the anger in his chest. “We will return to the capital now.”

He did not expect Ge Chunru to cause such a shameful incident.

Otherwise, even if Ge Chunying had spoken, he would not have lifted Ge Chunru’s grounding.

At this moment, he could not help but feel extremely regretful and vent his anger on Ge Chunying.

Alright, now she had directly caused such a big incident for him.

Now, he suddenly felt a little fortunate that he would soon return to the northern border.

Otherwise, how would he be able to live in the capital?
