After Bai Xu left, Shi Qingluo stood up and walked behind Xiao Hanzheng.
She hugged him from behind and rested her head on his shoulder. “It’s different now. Our family will get better, including your mother, younger brother and sister.”
It had been a long time since she had seen her young husband’s eyes filled with hostility.
She could imagine that her mother-in-law, younger brother-in-law and sister-in-law did not have a good ending in their previous life.
As Xiao Hanzheng was hugged by his little wife, not only did his entire body feel warm, his heart also felt warm.
It already felt different now.
He reached out and held her hand. “Yes, our family will get better and better. ”
The two of them hugged each other for a while before Shi Qingluo said, “I’m going to the Shi family.”
Xiao Hanzheng knew that she was going to inquire about the Wu family. “Okay.”
He added, “I’ll make a trip to the county town.”
He was prepared to give the things that Bai Xu had given him to Mo Qingling.
If he wanted to topple the Wu family, he would need Mo Qingling’s help.
Shi Qingluo nudged him with her face. “Okay, let’s split up.”
The two of them took a carriage out together.
Shi Qingluo alighted at the entrance of the Shi family while Xiao Hanzheng went to the county town.

At this moment, all the members of the Shi family, except for Fourth Son Shi and his wife, were here.
They were just about to have lunch.
Seeing that Shi Qingluo had arrived, the Shi family was stunned for a moment before breaking into a smile.
“Qingluo is here. Come and sit.”
The old lady instructed her other granddaughter, “Go and get another set of cutlery.”
This granddaughter had previously gone to the capital to offer the seeds.
It was obvious that she had a bright future ahead of her.
Of course, even if she did not have a bright future ahead, they could still choose not to provoke her.
Shi Qingluo waved her hand. “There’s no need to take it. I’ll go home and eat it later.”
The old lady did not persuade her enthusiastically. “Eat some. There’s meat that you like today.”
Previously, this girl had tormented them quite a bit just to eat meat.
In the past, their conditions were not that good and it was difficult for the family to enjoy meat a few times a month.
Now, ever since Fourth Son Shi tied a knot with the Wu family, they had meat for every meal.
Shi Qingluo didn’t restrain herself from humiliating them. “I was forced to do so.
“The food that your family cooks is too terrible, so there’s really no need for me to eat it.”
There was no need to be too polite with the Shi family’s troublemakers, or else they might get angry.
Old Lady Shi and the others sighed, can you not be so direct and prickly?
But they could not do anything about Shi Qingluo.
“Alright, then don’t eat it.
“We’ll eat it later then.”
Old Lady Shi looked at her and asked, “Do you have some matters to attend to?”
Shi Qingluo nodded. “Yes.”
She asked, “How is Fourth Son Shi doing in the Wu Family?”
Old Lady Shi smiled and said, “He’s doing quite well. He’s eating good quality fish and meat every day.”
They could also go there and enjoy themselves from time to time.
Third Son Shi added, “Not only is he eating luxurious fish and meat, he even has a few concubines. He goes to the gambling den every day.”
He was obviously dissatisfied with his brother’s current actions.
When Shi Qingluo heard this, she immediately understood that Fourth Son Shi had been trapped by the Wu family’s sugar-coated cannonball.
She raised her eyebrows. “Does this mean that he doesn’t want the Wu family anymore?
“Are you satisfied just by eating some meat?”
Old Lady Shi immediately said, “Of course not, we want it.”
“I will remind my son about this every day. Don’t worry.
“Oh right, he had some findings.”
She continued, “He said that there’s something wrong with the Wu family’s rockery at the abandoned side courtyard. He saw Master Wu and Eldest Young Master Wu secretly going there several times.”
Of course, they were not satisfied with just beating around the bush.
Thus, they immediately expressed their loyalty to Shi Qingluo.
Shi Qingluo nodded. “Alright, at least he didn’t forget the purpose of going to the Wu Family.
“You guys have been going to the Wu residence frequently recently. Did you discover anything else?”
The members of the Shi family looked at each other. “We didn’t find anything.”
They had been going to the Wu residence mainly for fun, so they hadn’t really paid attention to this.
Suddenly, a weak voice sounded from not too far away.
“I… I heard something, but I don’t know if it will be of any use to you.”
Shi Qingluo looked over and realized that this was her fourth sister.
She was also an invisible person in the Shi family.
She was not as miserable as Shengyuan, but her days were not easy either.
She asked, “What did you hear?”
She took a deep breath and said, “Half a month ago, I went to the Wu family with my mother, and I accidentally heard Eldest Young Master Wu talking to a man.
“Because we were not very close, I only vaguely heard some things.
“That man from the capital told Eldest Young Master Wu about using an old widower to do this and tarnish his reputation.”
Shi qingluo narrowed her eyes instantly. “Anything else?”
It seemed that the Wu family’s vicious tricks were taught by Ge Chunru.
They had sent Tao Liu to Xiao Yuanshi, and Ge Chunru wanted to give the old widower to her mother-in-law.
Thinking about it carefully, it was really the method that that woman always liked to use.
She didn’t have enough trouble with the peach willows in the general’s residence, and her hands were so long again.
Shi Simei thought for a moment. “I think they also said that they wanted to gamble, put up some high-interest money, or break their legs or something.”
“I didn’t hear anything else.”
At that time, she carefully hid in the corner and didn’t dare to go over.
After Shi Qingluo heard it, she said to Old Lady Shi, “Did you hear that? Your son went to the casino because the Wu family plotted against him.
“When he loses, he will be coaxed by the casino to borrow a large sum of money at a high interest rate. If he doesn’t pay up, his leg will be broken.
“When his leg is broken, you won’t be able to do anything to the Wu family. After all, it was your precious son who went to the casino to gamble and borrow the money.
“Those who originally sympathized with you in the county will turn around and scold your son.
“They will then sympathize with the daughter of the Wu family.
“Why did they find such a husband?”
“When the time comes, even if the Wu family is defeated, Fourth Son Shi will not be able to take advantage of the Wu family anymore.”
As expected of a vicious mistress. This idea was definitely Ge Chunru’s idea.
She was trying to do a backstab.
If Fourth Son Shi was sent back with his leg broken, the Wu family would incite the Shi family to turn the blame on Shi Qingluo
Ge Chunru was indeed very good at scheming.
Old Lady Shi and the others were furious when they heard that. “Alright, I knew that the Wu residence had suddenly become polite recently. Seems like they are waiting for something.
“This is too much, the Wu family has gone too far!”
Old Lady Shi asked Shi Qingluo in a daze, “What do you think we should do?”
Shi Qingluo thought for a moment and raised her finger to hook the old lady.
Old Lady Shi leaned over, and Shi Qingluo said in a low voice, “Do you want the Wu family to fall as soon as possible so that your son can a portion of their assets and run away?”
Old Lady Shi nodded. “Of course I want to. Just tell us what you want us to do. We’ll listen to you.”
Previously, when she listened to Shi Qingluo, their family immediately had a lot of money and even had meat for every meal.
This wouldn’t be wrong.
Shi Qingluo gave her an appreciative look. “Old lady, you are the smartest one in the entire Shi family.”
Old Lady Shi felt comfortable hearing this and said proudly, “That’s right, the amount of salt I have eaten is more than the amount of rice they have eaten.”
The Shi family thought to themselves, in the past when we were poor, our house often lack salt.
Our mother was really daring to say such words.
Shi Qingluo smiled and said, “Then let Fourth Son Shi pretend to be poisoned.
“Then, you guys go and make a scene. Say that the Wu family intentionally poisoned him. They want to kill him so that their daughter can get married again.”
“Then, get a few people to report it to the officials. Get Magistrate Mo to get his people to investigate.”
This way, they would be able to search the rockery in their side courtyard.
