Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Xiao Yuanshi didn’t want to stay for another quarter of an hour. After agreeing to Xiao Erlang’s request, he bade farewell once more and turned around to leave quickly.
Shi Qingluo touched her chin when she saw this. “Our house is not a wolf’s den here. Does General Xiao have to run so fast?”
Liang Yulin wanted to laugh.
Xiao Yuanshi had been forced to jump into the pit to bleed. He would be a fool if he didn’t run.
To Xiao Yuanshi, this place was like a wolf’s den.
!!
The show today was really good.
Only then did he realize that the people of the Xiao family were all very interesting.
Although he thought so in his heart, he naturally couldn’t say out loud.
He chuckled and said, “I think that this place is pretty good. Perhaps General Xiao really has to rush back to practice calligraphy.”
Shi Qingluo realized that this prince was also dark on the inside. “That’s right. We’d better not disturb General Xiao’s calligraphy practice. Otherwise, if he still writes so ugly in the future, we’ll be the scapegoat.”

Xiao Yuanshi, who had not gone far, almost staggered when he heard the two of them…
After Xiao Yuanshi left, everyone returned to their seats and quickly began to eat from the hot pot.
As Prince Yi had left food for them, Mother Xiao and Xiao Baili had also made other dishes and desserts.
Liang Yulin dipped the mutton with various stir-fried dishes and desserts that he had never eaten before.
He was in a very happy mood, and he was even more glad that he had stayed behind.
He only left after he finished eating.
The next day, in the name of seeing a doctor, he enjoyed a free lunch.
It was really because the dishes that Mother Xiao and Xiao Baili had cooked that suited his taste too much.
Of course, he did not come empty-handed.
He brought quite a number of expensive medicinal herbs as gifts.
In the next few days, he did something similar.
While soaking in the medicinal bath and acupuncture, he also enjoyed a free meal. He could also chat with Xiao Hanzheng to relieve his boredom.
He found that Xiao Hanzheng wasn’t old, but he had some deep and unique insights into the topics he raised.
No wonder his royal brother valued him and was prepared to put him into good use.
On this day, Xiao Yuanshi sent someone to pick up Xiao Erlang and bring him back to the capital.
He heard that Prince Yi would go to Shi Qingluo’s manor every day, so he was determined not to come personally.
Xiao Hanzheng did not restrain his younger brother from doing so.
However, he arranged for a few skilled “servants” by his younger brother’s side.
Although his younger brother was going to the general’s residence, with his bad father’s character, he would not do anything to kill his youngest son.
After all, this was a big piece of evidence.
However, Xiao Hanzheng was not so sure about Ge Chunru. It was better to be careful.
Seeing that his younger brother was going to the general’s residence, Xiao Baili was also interested. “Brother and sister-in-law, why don’t I accompany Erlang to the general’s residence to play for two days?”
She hated Ge Chunru as much as anyone else.
She was quite happy to go to the general’s residence to insult Ge Chunru.
Xiao Hanzheng thought for a moment. “That’s fine too, but you must be careful of Ge Chunru.”
When a child grew up, one had to let her out in order for her to grow up.
He emphasized, “If you meet a foreign man in the general’s residence, you must avoid him.”
Shi Qingluo added, “If the foreign man dares to speak rudely or wants to tease you or something, you can whip him to death.”
“If I whip him to death, your scumbag father will be reliable for it,” she emphasized.
Xiao Baili chuckled. “Alright, I’ll listen to my brother and sister-in-law.”
Xiao Hanzheng had also arranged for people to be by her side.
For safety reasons, he even gave his sister and brother fragrant sachets to detoxify potential poison, as well as a few packets of knockout powder.
If someone wanted to harm them, they could spray out knockout powder and cause others to fall into a coma immediately.
“You guys go back with our scumbag father first. After I finish treating Prince Yi today, we will return to the capital.”
Xiao Hanzheng looked at his brother and sister and said, “If you can’t stay in the general’s residence or something happens, go home.”
Xiao Baili and Xiao Erlang nodded obediently. “Okay!”
Then, the two packed up and left with the servant boys and girls that Xiao Yuanshi had sent.
Shi Qingluo looked at their backs and said with a smile, “It’s a pity that your scumbag didn’t invite us to the general’s residence. Otherwise, I would have wanted to go and have some fun.”
Xiao Hanzheng couldn’t help but laugh. “If you go, he will want to cry.”
Not only would he want to cry, Ge Chunru would also cry.
Therefore, as long as his scumbag father didn’t become stupid, he wouldn’t invite them to the general’s residence.
Furthermore, his status wasn’t suitable for him to return to the general’s residence.
He wanted to express a clear message to the outside world that he definitely wouldn’t restore his father-son relationship with his scumbag father.
He wanted to show it to others and also to the emperor.
As for his younger siblings going to the general’s residence, that was nothing.
After all, they were still young.
To the outsiders, it was normal for them to be coaxed by their scumbag father.
Moreover, Prince Yi also knew their family’s attitude toward their scumbag father.
After returning to the capital, there was a high chance that they would mention it to the emperor.
It would also make the emperor feel at ease.
On the main road outside the manor, Xiao Yuanshi rode his horse and waited.
Three carriages came from the manor.
He took the initiative to ride his horse over to welcome them.
The carriage stopped and the door of the carriage in the middle opened.
Xiao Baili and Xiao Erlang came down from the carriage.
When Xiao Yuanshi saw Xiao Baili, he was stunned. “Is Baili also coming back to the capital with us?”
Xiao Baili had a smile on her face and replied softly, “I don’t feel at ease that my brother is going alone, so I also want to follow him to the general’s residence as a guest.
“General Xiao, you won’t mind, right?”
Previously, she had addressed him as ‘father’ in order to annoy him.
Now, she was addressing him as ‘General Xiao’ mainly to express that their relationship had not recovered and to not let others misunderstand.
Xiao Yuanshi’s smile stiffened. “Of course I don’t mind. I can’t wait to welcome you.”
He had miscalculated a little.
However, looking at his daughter who spoke softly and gently, he felt that it was not a big deal to bring her along.
He could even cultivate some of her feelings for him.
Without Shi Qingluo, that bad daughter-in-law, her daughter should still be as docile and obedient as before.
She would not cause any trouble even if she went to the general’s residence.
Hence, he brought his son and daughter back to the capital.
The moment he returned to the capital, he noticed that many people were looking at him with all sorts of gazes.
Xiao Yuanshi felt that something was not right, so he sent people to ask around.
Very soon, his personal attendant came back after asking around.
“General, the news of you wanting to build the cement road from the capital road to the manor has already spread.
“There are still many people waiting for you to start building the road so that they can start working.”
Xiao Yuanshi was speechless.
His mood of returning to the capital was completely gone.
There was no need to investigate further.
He knew that this matter was definitely done by his eldest son, who appeared as gentle as jade on the surface but secretly had a black heart.
This was to force him to quickly build the road.
He had no choice but to order, “Go and do this today.
“Hire people in the city and nearby to build the road, then go to the imperial cement workshop. Reserve the cement that can be used to build a road to that manor. The money will be paid from the general’s estate’s account.”
He could only comfort himself in his heart.
After all, building a road was a good thing. He could also obtain some good reputation.
However, Xiao Yuanshi was only half right.
During these few days in the manor, Xiao Hanzheng’s people had already spread the word around the capital.
General Xiao had once misunderstood and hurt his ex-wife.
He felt so guilty that he could not sleep well every night, and he even had nightmares.
So he wanted to make it up to his ex-wife.
His ex-wife had asked him to build a cement road, and he had agreed because of his guilt.
Therefore, Xiao Yuanshi had paid to build the road in name, but no one had thought of thanking him.
Because of this, Xiao Yuanshi had almost spent money to buy loneliness. This was something he had not thought of yet…
In the general’s residence, Ge Chunru had naturally heard of the recent rumors outside.
She was both angry and resentful.
She had not expected that Xiao Yuanshi would actually get involved with that village woman, Mdm Kong.
She did not think that Xiao Yuanshi was the one who took the initiative to look for Mdm Kong.
Instead, she believed that Mdm Kong must still be thinking about Xiao Yuanshi, so they were deliberately trying to seduce him.
She could not let her succeed, so she was prepared to go to the village to look for her in two days.
Who would have thought that Xiao Yuanshi would come back.
So she immediately changed into new clothes, put on her makeup, and put on her newly made fiery red fur coat.
She took the initiative to go to the door to welcome him.
Tao Liu also dressed up meticulously and ran to the main door to welcome them.
Then, not only did the two of them see Xiao Yuanshi, but they also saw Xiao Baili and Xiao Erlang following behind him.
Tao Liu was only surprised for a moment before she returned to her normal composure.
Ge Chunru, on the other hand, was completely frozen on the spot.
Why did these two little bastards follow him to the general’s residence?
