After Breaking Off My Marriage, I Became A Powerful Minister's Treasure

Chapter 170: Are We Just Going To Let It Go Like This

Ge Chunru did not beat around the bush and asked, "What do you think of my sister?"

Xiao Yuanshi was stunned. He clearly did not expect her to ask this.

"You want your sister to be the second prince's second queen?"

Ge Chunru sighed. "One day, she saw the second prince and could not help but fall in love with him. As her elder sister, my heart aches when I see it.

"So, if possible, I hope that her wish can be fulfilled."

Xiao Yuanshi frowned slightly. "With her status, I'm afraid that it's not enough for her to qualify as his second queen."

These words were very tactful. She was simply not good enough.

Ge Chunru was secretly in deep hatred.

Her family was clearly a large clan in the previous dynasty, but now they were being restricted by their broken status.

"General, I only have one sister. Can you think of a way?"

She held Xiao Yuanshi's hand and continued, "If my sister is able to marry into the second prince's manor, our lives in the general's residence will also be better.

"If she marries into the second prince's manor with a too-low status, we will face humiliation. She still has to endure more in the manor. My heart aches when I think of it."

Xiao Yuanshi had never thought of this problem before, but now, he felt that it was possible.

Now that he and the second prince were on good terms, they were somewhat on the same side.

If they were related by marriage, their relationship would be more secure.

"I'll go and look for the second prince in a few days' time to find out more."

Although he said so, he was confident that the second prince would agree.

Ge Chunru leaned into his embrace. "Thank you for taking the time to do this, General. My sister will definitely remember how good you are to her."

Xiao Yuanshi smiled. "We're a family. There's no need to treat each other like strangers."

Ge Chunru was still recuperating, so Xiao Yuanshi left after sitting for a while.

He also instructed his men to buy assassins and head to Nanxi county and prepare in advance.

Then, he went to the yamen.

Along his way there, a carriage with broken wheels blocked their way.

Xiao Yuanshi was very frustrated.

He got off the carriage and was about to throw a tantrum.

"Move the carriage to the side first and let others pass first."

However, he heard a pleasant and soft female voice coming from the carriage.

He was too embarrassed to let out the fire that he had suppressed.

Then, he saw a woman dressed elegantly and wearing a veil.

She had a dainty figure.

A servant girl supported her as she got off the carriage.

She smiled apologetically at him and ordered someone to move the carriage quickly.

Xiao Yuanshi saw that she wasn't old.

Although she covered half of her face, she was definitely a beauty.

He did not have any thoughts of getting his men to help to move the carriage.

The woman did not pester him to speak.

When the carriage moved to the side, she bowed to him and thanked him before turning around and getting into the carriage.

Xiao Yuanshi did not take this matter to heart.

It was only two days later that he met this woman again.

She was currently being teased and bullied by a few hooligans in the capital.

He had decided to take this route on the spur of the moment, so he did not think that it was a scheme.

Seeing the woman's pitiful red eyes, Xiao Yuanshi's desire to protect her was aroused, so he ordered his people to help.

After successfully chasing away the hooligans, the woman went up and thanked him.

She had also interacted with Xiao Yuanshi.

However, she did not deliberately take the initiative to approach him.

She was considerate while she spoke, just like a deciphering flower.

Therefore, when Xiao Yuanshi was bored, he would go to the courtyard where she lived to sit and talk.

In Xiaxi village.

Shi Qingluo brought Xi Rong and the others to the Taoist temple to pay their respects first.

This time, she did not make the master appear.

Xi Rong and Xi Rui went around the Taoist temple and lost interest.

Then, they asked Shi Qingluo to bring them to the mountains to explore hunting.

Because Xi Rong was there, after Xiao Hanzheng went to the county school, Shi Qingluo also brought her other guests along into the mountains.

If it was only Liang Youxiao, Xi Rui, and a few other men, she would definitely not go alone.

She had to avoid suspicion.

She did not delve deep into the mountains for the past few days.

Instead, she explored the outer area.

Xi Rui said, "Let's go deeper into the mountains. The outer area is not fun."

There was no point killing a few rabbits every day.

Xi Rong agreed. "Yes, yes. Luoluo, bring us deep into the mountains to play.

"We've all brought our guards. It is definitely safe."

Liang Youxiao added, "I heard that if we're lucky, we'll encounter ginseng and Ganoderma in these deep mountains. Let's try our luck."

Shi Qingluo was also more interested in the deep mountains. "Sure."

Fei Yuzhe uttered under his breath, sure enough, these few people couldn't stay idle when they were together.

Afraid that something would happen to them, he could only bring some people along to follow them.

After entering the deep mountains, Shi Qingluo held a small knife.

She would mark the tree after each step she took.

Xi Rong asked, "What are you doing?"

Shi Qingluo replied, "It's very easy to get lost in the deep mountains and forested areas. I'll mark it. If you get lost, you can trace it to find your way out."

Xi Rong's eyes lit up. She had learned something. "Luoluo, you're really smart."

Shi Qingluo chuckled. "Thank you for the compliment."

They went deep into the forest and did not encounter any wild beasts.

Instead, they found a swarm of wild bees.

Shi Qingluo brought them to get some honey, which thrilled them.
