When she returned to the deputy governor’s mansion, Ge Chunru met Old Lady Xiao and the others who had come on purpose.
Old Lady Xiao sneered. “Little Lady Ge, didn’t you run away so quickly?Why are you back now?”
Mdm Wang and Mdm Wu also chimed in.
“If she didn’t come back, where else could she go?
“She is a woman who does not live up to what a woman should do, only Second Son Xiao would take her in. If she is thrown outside, no man will take a fancy to her.”
If this happened in the past, Ge Chunru would have shown an angry expression.
However, her mind was not on this at all.
“Old Madam, I’m tired and want to go back to the courtyard to rest.”
“You shameless b * tch, ” Old Lady Xiao snorted. “How dare a concubine like you move around without the permission of the madams of the house.
“This is outrageous.
“Kneel here and you’re only allowed to get up four hours later.
“Otherwise, get out of the deputy governor office.”
Her hatred for Ge Chunru would never dissipate.
Every time she saw her, she wanted to torture her.
Ge Chunru was very aggrieved, but she knew that she was alone and helpless in the deputy governor office.
“Yes!” She could only nod.
Old Lady Xiao asked the maidservants to watch Ge Chunru kneel down and left with her two daughters-in-law.
Being forced to kneel under the scorching sun, Ge Chunru’s hatred grew even stronger.
One day, she would definitely kill all the people in the Xiao family.
When Xiao Yuanshi came back, someone reported that the old lady had made Concubine Ge kneel in the courtyard.
If this happened in the capital, Xiao Yuanshi would have gone to help immediately.
But now, he felt that it was a good punishment for her to kneel.
His personal attendant had already told him that Ge Chunru had gone to the casino.
However, his people did not succeed, so they did not know what happened after Ge Chunru went in.
However, Ge Chunru had been in there for a long time, which made him feel uncomfortable.
He guessed that Ge Chunru was trying to raise money for that good-for-nothing, so he had to avoid her.
So he went to Liu Ru’s courtyard to sit down.
Ge Chunru had asked her maidservant to keep an eye on him. She had already known when Xiao Yuanshi returned to the mansion.
She still had a trace of hope in her heart that he would come to her courtyard to help her and not let her kneel under the scorching sun as punishment.
But in the end, she became more and more disappointed.
The hot sun shone on her body and face, but she didn’t feel hot. Instead, her heart turned cold.
Before she passed out from the heat stroke, she only had one thought in her mind.
She wanted to use that pack of strong medicine.
Who asked Xiao Yuanshi to be so heartless?
When she woke up, she was already lying on the bed in the room.
She had no appetite, so she lay quietly on the bed and waited.
However, after waiting for a whole night, Xiao Yuanshi still didn’t come to visit her.
She knew that he was afraid, afraid that she would ask him for money to save her brother.
He was too cruel.
He had watched her younger brother grow up, but he could actually ignore him.
The so-called love in the past was all bullsh * t.
The next morning, Ge Chunru got up and dressed up.
Then she went to the kitchen to make soup.
Naturally, there was something added to the soup.
Then, she took it to the study room to find Xiao Yuanshi.
Xiao Yuanshi was dealing with official business, and when he heard his personal attendant say that Concubine Ge wanted to see him, he had a headache.
Just as he was about to say that he didn’t want to see her, Ge Chunru shouted from outside, “Deputy governor, I have something important to tell you.”
She added, “It’s about your future. The people at the casino told me yesterday.”
Xiao Yuanshi frowned when he heard this, and then he let her in.
Walking into the study room, Ge Chunru placed the soup on the table and served him a bowl.
“You’ve been working hard recently. Have some soup first.”
Xiao Yuanshi took the soup but didn’t drink it.
He was instinctively on guard. “What’s the matter? Just tell me.”
Seeing that he did not drink the soup, Ge Chunru guessed that he might be afraid of being poisoned.
This man was indeed not a good person.
He was even starting to guard against her.
Hence, she poured herself a bowl and took two sips while blowing on it.
“I made this soup. It’s not bad. Try it.”
Ge Chunru drink the soup, as if she would not say anything if he did not drink it.
Hence, Xiao Yuanshi didn’t think too much about it.
He finished the soup in his bowl and said perfunctorily, “The taste is indeed not bad.”
Since they had known each other, she had been making chicken soup every time.
She wasn’t sick of it, but he was.
Ge Chunru wanted to scratch his face when she saw his perfunctory look.
She slowly finished the soup in her bowl and said, “I’ll tell you if you help my brother pay back the thirty thousand taels of silver.”
Xiao Yuanshi’s face turned ugly. “How do I get thirty thousand taels?”
This woman had deliberately tricked him into saying that she had something important to say.
It turned out that she was here for the money.
“You’ve used all our money to finance your sister and brother previously,” he snorted coldly.
“I advise you to teach Ge Chunyi a lesson. Otherwise, it will be a bottomless pit.
“You’re so good to him, but he might not appreciate it in the end.”
He could tell that Ge Chunru’s younger brother and sister were both ungrateful.
Ge Chunru sneered in her heart.
She had already given Xiao Yuanshi a chance.
If he gave her 30000 taels now, she would tell him that person had asked her to steal the map.
After all, those people were too dangerous, and she was a little scared.
However, Xiao Yuanshi not only refused to give her the money, but he also implied that her brother was an ungrateful wretch.
As a result, she followed her plan and pounced on Xiao Yuanshi, hitting and grabbing him.
“You bastard, you’ve been lying to me all this time, saying that you’ll only love me, but now you’ve not only seduced me …”
Xiao Yuanshi didn’t expect Ge Chunru to do this.
He was caught off guard, and his face was scratched several times.
Listening to her crying and scolding, his face became even uglier.
“I did love you back then, but after you made me a cuckold, all my love for you disappeared.
“I’m already kind enough to let you stay in the deputy governor office. Don’t be ungrateful.
“Go out and ask what the others will do if their wives cheat on them in public.”
He pushed Ge Chunru away angrily. “If you continue to be so unreasonable, you can go and live with your brother.”
He didn’t want to waste any more time with Ge Chunru, so he quickly left the study room with a pale face.
This wasn’t the first time something like this had happened, and he was really tired of it.
His feelings for Ge Chunru was already gone, and now he felt a kind of disgust for her that he had never felt before.
Just as Shi Qingluo had said, he must have been blind back then to have fallen for such a woman, losing his pure and gentle wife and promising son.
Ge Chunru cried and scolded behind him.
She even smashed the teacups on the desk.
After Xiao Yuanshi was beyond sight, she continued to cry, curse, and smash things, but her face was cold.
She was also searching for the map.
She had already predicted that as long as she was as unreasonable as before, Xiao Yuanshi would leave and leave her in the study room.
This had happened a few times in the past, so he didn’t suspect that she was deliberately making a scene just now.
She had been with Xiao Yuanshi for so many years, so she knew his habits very well.
As a result, she found a few hidden compartments, but after opening them, she didn’t find any map inside.
She looked around the study room again, and her gaze fell on an unremarkable vase with some scrolls of painting.
