After Breaking Off My Marriage, I Became A Powerful Minister's Treasure Novel - Chapter 537
537 A talent too
Xiao Hanzheng was familiar with this town at the border, so he took full control of it not long after he came.
Recently, there had been spies from the Ge Kingdom and the previous dynasty here to collect intelligence, but he had deliberately not arrested them.
After another ten days, when the Ge spies who wanted to rescue Yelu Deguang found out that their little prince was not in the town, Prince Yi had already arrived in the capital.
The Ge Kingdom, which had originally wanted to send another army, could only give up.
!!
Then, they found out that Yelu Deguang had been secretly escorted to the capital of Daliang by Prince Yi, and the Emperor of Ge was furious.
However, his most beloved youngest son was in Daliang’s hands.
He could only suppress his anger and not dare to do anything for the time being.
At the same time, he also sent a trusted minister to Daliang, trying to find a way to bring Yelu Deguang back to the Ge Kingdom.
Xiao Hanzheng had received information from the Ge Kingdom and knew that this was a safe town.
He then led his men to build several fortifications and handed over the town’s affairs to the third prince.
Shi Qingluo had also brought her mother-in-law and sister-in-law along to teach those in the workshop how to make canned food, candles, and soap.
They also handed the workshop over to the third prince and followed Xiao Hanzheng back to Heyang County.
After returning to Heyang County, Xiao Hanzheng was busy with the official affairs of the county and the workshop.
Shi Qingluo, on the other hand, was busy running from village to village, helping the villagers on the grains, medicinal herbs, rubber flowers, and the chickens, ducks, and pigs they were raising.
As for the geese, because of the existence of the goose king, Dumby, geese were all raised as pets.
Everyone in Heyang County consciously avoided eating goose meat.
Prince Jin fulfilled his previous promise and sent over a few hundred thousand taels of silver to let Liang Mingyu cooperate with Xiao Hanzheng to build the road.
As a result, not only was the road from Heyang County to Northern City repaired, but they also recruited people to start repairing the road to the capital.
This made those in Heyang County very excited.
Once the road was repaired, there would be more merchants coming to their county.
Their county would become more and more prosperous, and everyone’s lives would become better and better.
In the blink of an eye, more than a month had passed.
The weather was getting colder, and everyone had changed into thick clothes.
One day, Xiao Hanzheng received a message from the capital.
He sat on the sofa in the study and said to Shi Qingluo, who was leaning on the side, “Ge Chunying has a son.”
Shi Qingluo was knitting a heart-shaped sweater for Xiao Hanzheng.
When she heard this, she paused. “Doesn’t that mean that she can be more prideful?
“After giving birth to a son, did her treatment in the second prince’s manor improve? ”
Xiao Hanzheng shook his head. “No. The second prince didn’t even go to see her when she gave birth.
“When he heard that it was a son, he didn’t even go and visit them. He even had people move Ge Chunying and her son to the side courtyard.
“There have always been rumors in the second prince’s manor that Ge Chunying has angered the second prince for some reason. He is not happy with her, so he is treating her and her son coldly.”
Shi Qingluo was taken aback. “Is it because of your scumbag father? ”
Previously, the second prince had wanted to rope in his scumbag father, so he had naturally treated Ge Chunying better.
Now that Ge Chunru had been kicked out of the deputy governor’s office by her scumbag father, the second prince saw that there was no chance of winning over his scumbag father, so he was extremely cold to Ge Chunying.
“This should be a possibility,” Xiao Hanzheng said.
“But according to the information from my people, I feel that the second prince is not quite right with Ge Chunying.
“It’s like he’s disgusted.
“Since he moved Ge Chunying to the most remote courtyard, I suspect that we will receive news that she had an illness soon,” he said after some thought.
“Not long after that, she and her son will die from an illness.”
Shi Qingluo was taken aback. “Ah, does that mean that the second prince is not happy with Ge Chunying and her son staying in his manor?
“But isn’t that his son?”
Was the second prince so cruel to his own son?
“He doesn’t lack sons.” Xiao Hanzheng said. “He should be very wary of ambitious and ruthless concubines like Ge Chunying.
“That’s why he doesn’t even care about his son.”
Then, he changed the topic. “There’s another possibility. Although this news is not very reliable, that son isn’t his.
“According to the news from the second prince’s manor, I feel that that son doesn’t seem to be the second prince’s. That’s why he’s acting like this.”
Shi Qingluo was shocked. “Why doesn’t it seem to be the second prince’s? Ge Chunying is so bold that she directly made the second prince a cuckold?”
Xiao Hanzheng said, “If that’s the case, then it’s not Ge Chunying cheating on the second prince, but the second prince cheating on himself.”
Shi Qingluo’s eyes widened in shock. “Ah, is the second prince that absurd? ”
Xiao Hanzheng had heard his wife say what “absurd” meant.
“You’re right,” he laughed.
“Prince Jin’s previous actions were also quite absurd, so we don’t have to look at them like normal people.”
At the mention of Prince Jin, Shi Qingluo couldn’t help but nod in agreement. “That’s true. Some people from the imperial family really have brains different from ordinary people.”
She asked, “Why do you think so? Did you find something?”
Otherwise, her little hubby wouldn’t have guessed in such an outrageous direction.
Xiao Hanzheng nodded. “My men found out that before Ge Chunying got pregnant, the second prince would bring a coachman with him whenever he went to her courtyard to stay the night.
“The second prince already knew that Ge Chunying poisoned his consort, but he didn’t do anything.
“He only changed the medicine for his consort. He didn’t tell anyone. It seems like he is protecting Ge Chunying.
“When the news of Ge Chunying’s pregnancy spread, the second prince did not stay overnight.
“He used to dote on Ge Chunying and had already thought highly of her. But not long after, he withdrew his love.
“I previously thought that the second prince might have really fallen for Ge Chunying, so not pampering her was a form of protection, allowing her to give birth to the child smoothly.
“But now that the child has been born, his attitude towards her is colder. He doesn’t even visit his son.
“I made this guess after thinking about the intelligence that the coachman had followed along.”
Shi Qingluo smacked his lips. “If that’s the case, then the second prince is a talent!”
Because he didn’t like or detested her, he made himself a cuckold. This was really amazing.
As expected of Prince Jin’s nephew, even his brain circuits are the same.
If it was true, then her little hubby was also very powerful to be able to discover this.
“But if he’s going to make himself a cuckold, then why did the second prince still let Ge Chunying give birth to the child? Why doesn’t he just throw her to the backyard and let her fend for herself?”
Xiao Hanzheng thought for a moment. “Maybe the second prince has the same idea as Prince Jin. He wants to give Ge Chunying some hope.
“He wants her to think that everything will be fine once she gives birth to a son. Then, she will be able to pull the second prince’s consort down.
“But after she gave birth, the second prince immediately beat her back to her original form.
“If this guess is correct, then the second prince probably won’t let Ge Chunying and her son die. Instead, he will send them out along with the coachman.
“Let Ge Chunying know the truth, then she will be in pain, regret, and break down.”
