Xiao Hanzheng and his wife soon received the message that his scumbag father had asked Ge Chunru to ask Ge Chunying for money at her own accord.
After reading the message, Shi Qingluo sighed, “Your scumbag father is amazing. He directly threw the blame to his little wife.”
He really didn’t care anymore.
Xiao Hanzheng had already figured out his scumbag father’s personality. “He’s already on guard against Ge Chunying. Moreover, it might have hurt his self-esteem as she had pressured him in the previous occasion.”
His father was a person who cared a lot about his face and was too prideful.
The poor little girl who once needed his protection turned her back on him.
This was something his father naturally couldn’t accept.
He also knew that Ge Chunying was unreliable, so he was prepared to give up on this chess piece of his.
“So he deliberately asked Ge Chunru, her elder sister, to do it personally. He probably has the intention of ruining the relationship between the two sisters.”
Shi Qingluo was a little puzzled. “Then what does he want?
“Ge Chunying was sent to the second prince’s residence after exchanging it with the benefits he provided. He was quite determined when he gave it up.”
Initially, they only wanted to sow discord between the two sisters, but they didn’t expect that their scumbag father would agree so readily.
Xiao Hanzheng thought for a moment and said, “My scumbag father is not clear-headed when the case involves Ge Chunru, but he is not stupid in politics.
“I guess he may have discovered the emperor’s attitude. He has been in close contact with the second prince in private, which made the emperor unhappy.
“To be more precise, after he was removed from his post he should have a clearer mind. He was no longer blinded by the so-called powerful dragon.
“So, when we came up with an idea for him, he used this opportunity to weaken Ge Chunru’s relationship with Ge Chunying, his sister-in-law.
“Other than being afraid that you would really sue Ge Chunru and put her in jail, and then go to the emperor to make the decision and be forced to give 50,000 taels of silver, there should be one more thing that he wanted to do on purpose for the emperor to see.”
He knew that the emperor had informants everywhere, so how could his scumbag father not know?
Shi Qingluo realized that she really could not underestimate those in the imperial court.
She had to admit that although his scumbag father was a scumbag, he was still capable and had a high level of intelligence.
Such matters were really not suitable for her.
It was better for her young husband to take care of it.
She continued to sigh. “He really loves Ge Chunru. Regardless of whether he was schemed against or not, Ge Chunru has cuckolded him. He can still tolerate it.”
Xiao Hanzheng thought for a moment and said, “He will definitely feel discomfort in his heart. Based on the news from the general’s residence, the conflict between the two of them is gradually worsening.
“My scumbag father has never given up on Ge Chunru. Perhaps it’s because he didn’t want to deny his choice back then.
“After all, he once paid a huge price for Ge Chunru.”
Giving up and divorcing Ge Chunru also meant that his scumbag father’s choice was wrong.
His scumbag father reckoned that he couldn’t accept this kind of mistake, so he kept delaying it.
Of course, his scumbag father should have really liked Ge Chunru in the past, so now he more or less still had some feelings for her.
Shi Qingluo nodded. “After analyzing it like this, the situation is much clearer now.
“No wonder your scumbag father has been tolerating Ge Chunru after she made so many mistakes.”
She smiled and said, “I wonder if your scumbag father will be able to tolerate it after Ge Chunru goes to the northern border and acts like a demon again.”
Xiao Hanzheng chuckled and said, “Aren’t those from the old Xiao family around? If the three parties had a conflict and exhausted his patience, he naturally won’t be able to tolerate it anymore.”
Shi Qingluo smiled and nodded. “That’s true.”
At this moment, the butler requested to see him.
“Young master, someone sent over an invitation.”
Xiao Hanzheng took the post and read it. “I understand.”
After the butler left, Shi Qingluo said, “Recently, there have been a lot of letters inviting you out for a banquet.”
Xiao Hanzheng smiled and said, “Perhaps they feel that there’s some benefits they could gain from me.
“This is an invitation from Fang Zhijun. He wants me to go to the suburbs to admire the flowers tomorrow.”
Shi Qingluo knew that Fang Zhijun was her little hubby’s new friend.
The reason why she had an impression of Fang Zhijun was that he was Zhuo Jun’s classmate and good friend who came from the Northern city together.
“Are you going?”
She said meaningfully, “I always feel that Fang Zhijun’s invitation to you is fake, and Zhuo Jun’s invitation is real.”
Recently, Fang Zhijun had written no less than ten invitations, wanting his little hubby to go out for a gathering.
1
Her little hubby would occasionally go, but Zhuo Jun was always there.
And when her little hubby didn’t go, Zhuo Jun mostly didn’t go.
She didn’t believe in such a coincidence.
Xiao Hanzheng looked at his little wife pouting and smiled as he pinched her face. “Is my wife jealous?”
Shi Qingluo rolled her eyes at him. “I’m not jealous. It’s not like he had seduced you.”
She still believed in her husband.
She asked, “Are you still investigating Zhuo Jun?”
Xiao Hanzheng nodded. “I’m still investigating. There’s nothing wrong with what I found out previously.”
He added, “But I believe in your intuition.”
Shi Qingluo smiled and hooked her arm around his. “That’s more like it.”
She said, “You should go to the banquet tomorrow and see if he’ll do anything to you. You should observe his eyes or something.”
Xiao Hanzheng thought for a moment and nodded. “Alright, I’ll go check it out tomorrow.”
Ever since his young wife told him about Zhuo Jun’s problem, he had deliberately distanced himself from him.
Later on, Fang Zhijun invited him frequently.
Out of ten times, he went there twice.
Moreover, he would leave after sitting for a short while each time, so he didn’t find anything wrong with Zhuo Jun.
Now that his wife said this, he also felt that it was better to create opportunities for things to happen.
If there was really something wrong with him, then it would certainly gradually be exposed.
The next day, Xiao Hanzheng put on the moon-white brocade robe his wife prepared and sat in the carriage to the agreed-upon outskirts.
The venue to admire the flowers was a pear garden.
It was also the season for the pear flowers to bloom.
The weather was still cold.
After getting out of the carriage, Xiao Hanzheng put on a fur cloak and walked into the pear garden with the hand stove that his wife had stuffed in his hands.
This pear garden was the property of Fang Zhijun’s family, so soon, a servant of the Fang family brought Xiao Hanzheng to the garden to admire the flowers.
As soon as he walked in, Xiao Hanzheng saw five people sitting around the stove, drinking tea and chatting.
When Fang Zhijun saw Xiao Hanzheng come in, he immediately stood up and smiled. “Jinyu is here.”
Xiao Hanzheng walked over and nodded. “Brother Zhijun!”
Many disciples of the northern border families didn’t like to get a courtesy name, so Fang Zhijun didn’t have a courtesy name.
The others also smiled and greeted Xiao Hanzheng.
Zhuo Jun smiled and pointed to the empty seat next to him. “Jinyu, take a seat.”
Xiao Hanzheng smiled at him and did not refuse to sit beside him.
Zhuo Jun poured a cup of tea and handed it to Xiao Hanzheng. “Have a cup of tea to warm yourself up.”
Xiao Hanzheng took the tea. “Thank you!”
He took a sip.
There was nothing wrong with the tea, but he could smell a faint fragrance from Zhuo Jun’s body.
If it was not for his sensitive nose, he might not have been able to smell it because the smell was very faint.
This incense didn’t have any special effects, but it surprised Xiao Hanzheng.
This was because it was made by his wife.
It was one of the expensive orchid-scented incense that Xi Rong was selling in her rouge shop.
The reason why he was so clear about it was because his sister liked this incense very much and had been using it all along.
To him, he felt that this was a little feminine.
He preferred to use sandalwood and mint-scented incense.
And it was the first time he had ever seen a man using it.
