After Breaking Off My Marriage, I Became A Powerful Minister's Treasure Novel - Chapter 160
Chapter 160: Made his scumbag father envy
Xiao Hanzheng looked at the next letter.
“My scumbag father’s people found the waiter who Xi Rui and the others had directed him leave the teahouse.
“Xi Rui and the others gave him money and planned to let him stay further away.
“Who knew that this waiter didn’t leave the capital. Instead, he hid in a nearby village for a few days and returned to the capital.”
Shi Qingluo said, “It’s just a matter of time before your scumbag father will find out about this.”
She just didn’t know what would happen to the waiter next.
Xi Rui was more visionary in his plans.
He used money to ask the waiter to go further away, unlike others who would use money to silence others.
It was a pity that he voluntarily returned to his scumbag father’s hand. Too bad.
Xiao Hanzheng thought for a moment and said, “According to my understanding of my scumbag father, he will send this waiter to the public administrator house after knowing that Xi Rui is the mastermind.”
…
Shi Qingluo was stunned. “Send him to the public administrator house?”
Xiao Hanzheng replied, “My scumbag father doesn’t want to make enemies with the people in the public administrator house.
“If he sends him there, it means that he knows that Xi Rui is behind it. Secondly, he also wants to use this as leverage to make the public administrator house owe him a favour.”
He then sneered. “However, my scumbag father probably didn’t expect that the woman he dotes on had schemed against Xi Rui and ended up implicating him.”
Liang Youxiao wrote a letter and shared how Ge Chunru had schemed against Xi Rui.
Shi Qingluo chuckled. “If that’s the case, not only will your scumbag father be unable to make the public administrator house owe him a favour, he might even make things worse.
“But it is also good that he knows what that woman has done.
“Based on my understanding, he will definitely hold a grudge against her.”
Why did his scumbag father like that woman so much?
Shi Qingluo believed that apart from her youth and beautiful appearance, she would also portray herself such that he was the most important person in her world, and that he was all she had.
She was especially good with her flattery talks in light of his vanity.
Now they would let his scumbag father know that Ge Chunru had actually got someone to scheme against Xi Rui and offended the public administrator house for the sake of her younger brother.
The point was that his wife had deliberately kept it from him. Would his father not be offended?
Xiao Hanzheng held Shi Qingluo’s hand and fumbled with it. “That’s right. I just want to see if their relationship is really that loyal and strong.”

Shi Qingluo hooked her little finger around his hand. “Other than making that woman suffer from her own actions, I also thought of doing something that she would find unacceptable.”
Xiao Hanzheng asked curiously, “What?”
Shi Qingluo said, “The most painful thing in life is not only losing what you care about the most, but also being suppressed by those who have never looked down on you and throwing away what you previously viewed as your treasure.
“I believed she wouldn’t be able to accept your scumbag father uniting with his ex-wife.”

Xiao Hanzheng was puzzled. “His ex-wife?”
Shi Qingluo chuckled. “Let your father turn back and realise that your mother is still better and suddenly fall in love with her again.
“Then, your mother will abandon him as if he is a cheap good.”

Xiao Hanzheng was stunned.
He realised that his wife had very wild thoughts for the whole day.
However, when he thought about how his father had abandoned his mother and caused her great suffering and sadness, if the tables were turned one day, he would feel more at ease.
He said, “It’s not that easy to do that, is it?”
Shi Qingluo patted her chest. “Leave it to me.”
A man like his scumbag father was interested in women who would flatter his smelly feet.
However, if there were many women like Ge Chunru, would he still think that she was really special?
On the contrary, Mother Xiao who had once begged humbly in front of him, was less weak and had relinquished her own voice, was starting to look down on him.
He would instantly feel that this ex-wife was different from the rest.
Then, they would set up a few more traps for him to jump into to display how good Mother Xiao was.
Wouldn’t this be great?
If someone with a higher status wanted to propose to Mother Xiao, it would agitate his scumbag father even more.
She grabbed Xiao Hanzheng’s waist with her arm. “You won’t object to your mother remarrying, right?”
Her mother-in-law was only in her early thirties.

There wasn’t a need for her to devote and sacrifice her life for a scumbag.
She could find a more outstanding man to pamper and dote on her to make Xian Hanzheng’s scumbag father envious.
Most importantly, her mother-in-law would definitely be able to vent her anger, and realise that her father-in-law wasn’t as worthy as she thought.
This would allow her to pull out the thorn in her heart and subsequently find someone she loved and live happily together in the future.
Xiao Hanzheng uttered under his breath, his little wife was actually planning about letting his mother remarry.
He didn’t hesitate much. “Of course I won’t object.”
If his mother could find a man who would treat her well, he didn’t mind having a stepfather.
Shi Qingluo leaned her head against Xiao Hanzheng’s arm and rubbed it. “Brother Zheng, you are the most responsible person I know.”
In this era, having a scholar to accept his mother who had divorced was already considered pretty good, not to mention that he would support his mother to remarry.
She had indeed found the best husband.
Xiao Hanzheng lowered his head and kissed her forehead and smiled. “You!”
His heart was warm as his wife had been constantly caring for his mother.
A few days later, in the capital.
In the study room of the general’s manor.
Xiao Yuanshi sat on the main chair.
His trusted aide read him the statement. “Master, the waiter has confessed that someone paid him to put medicine in your wine glass.
“We traced that it was one of Xi Rui’s servants.”
Xiao Yuanshi wasn’t surprised. “It was really him.”
His trusted aide asked, “Master, how should we deal with that waiter?”
He then rubbed his neck. “Should we?”
Xiao Yuanshi thought for a moment, then narrowed his eyes and said, “It’s fine.
“Escort him here tomorrow. I’ll bring him to the public administrator house.”
He actually wanted to hand him over to the capital magistrate, but knew that doing so would not hurt Xi Rui at all.
That servant could take full responsibility for this matter, and the capital magistrate would not dare to offend the public administrator house.
The empress dowager would not want something like this to happen either.
So it would be best for him to use this and exchange for favours into the public administrator house.
Any intelligent individual in the capital should be able to guess that he had been schemed against.
Now that his reputation had been tarnished, what was the point of proving that he had been schemed against?
Since he was already in this situation, it would definitely be more cost-effective to ask for benefits.
As for Xi Rui and the Xi family, he would not let them go, of course.
He was just bowing his head for now.
One day, he would definitely settle his debt with them.
His trusted aides were somewhat puzzled, but they did not dare to ask further. “Yes!”
Xiao Hanzheng had clearly guessed his scumbag father’s plans.
The next day, Xiao Yuanshi made a visit to the public administrator house.
The grand duke in the public administrator house had recently fallen in love with Mahjong with his old friends, so wouldn’t be at home.
Xi Rui’s father, Xi Xinheng, who was also the heir in the public administrator house, welcomed Xiao Yuanshi.
When Xi Xinheng had heard about what had happened to Xiao Yuanshi, he had asked someone to investigate it.
He had also found out that it was his youngest son who had always been giving him a headache.
Hence, he had guessed Xiao Yuanshi’s intention.
After sitting down, he directly asked, “General Xiao, what brings you here today?”
Xiao Yuanshi did not beat around the bush. “I’m here today to ask for an explanation.”
Then, he handed over the waiter’s statement.
