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

Chapter 196: What's Going On?

She felt relieved that although her daughter-in-law came from a village, she was virtuous and healthy for childbearing.

She was much better than that little vixen from the general's residence.

Old Lady Xiao said hesitantly, "Then will she blame me again?"

The old lady across from her said angrily, "You are her mother-in-law. If she wants to blame you, ask your son to divorce her.

"One without a son would have committed seven sins."

"If she dares to cause trouble, you can come to us. Everyone will help you to speak up."

What's the point of keeping such an unfilial and unvirtuous daughter-in-law?

Only then did Old Lady Xiao seem to have made up her mind. "Alright, for the sake of my son's future, I'll get him a few concubines.

"If my daughter-in-law wants to complain, she can blame me."

Soon, Old Lady Xiao's daughters-in-law assisted her back to the general's residence.

The old lady living across their manor shared it with her close friends.

Not long after, the news of General Xiao's wife not being able to give birth and not allowing General Xiao to take in concubines spread.

The ladies all despised Ge Chunru.

It was too much to disapprove a man from having concubines especially when she could not bear any children.

The men felt that Xiao Yuanshi was too arrogant and indulgent with his little wife.

He actually did not dare to have concubines because his wife did not allow it.

He was too afraid of his wife.

Then, these men also shared this matter with their acquaintances.

Within a few days' time, everyone in the imperial court knew about this.

When Old Lady Xiao returned home, she did not immediately go to Ge Chunru's courtyard.

Instead, she waited for Xiao Yuanshi to return from the yamen to accompany Ge Chunru for dinner.

Only then did she drag Eldest Grandson Xiao's concubine with a bruised and swollen face out.

As Old Lady Xiao and the others entered with gloomy expressions, Xiao Yuanshi put down his chopsticks.

He had a bad premonition.

He already knew that the old Xiao family had gone to look for his son this morning.

From the looks of it now, things did not seem right.

"Father, mother, why are you here?"

Old Lady Xiao looked at him. "Why can't we come?"

Xiao Yuanshi immediately got his servant girls to get chairs for Old Lady Xiao and Old Master Xiao. "Of course you can."

Old Lady Xiao did not beat around the bush.

She said with a sullen face, "I'm here today to settle the score with your wife."

Xiao Yuanshi felt a headache coming on. "What's the matter?"

Ever since the old Xiao family had arrived, he had been annoyed that he and his wife had conflicts every now and then.

Old Lady Xiao snorted coldly. "Bring that little slut in."

After she finished speaking, Eldest Grandson Xiao grabbed his concubine's hair and dragged her in before kicking her to the ground.

He looked at Ge Chunru with hatred in his eyes. "Second aunt, I'll return your people to you."

Ge Chunru's originally calm expression changed slightly when she saw her on the ground.

"What do you mean? Isn't this your concubine? What does it have to do with me?"

Eldest Grandson Xiao sneered. "You arranged for her to exchange her body in order for someone to bury her father. You let this woman seduce me and spread her illness to me. I know everything.

"Did I dig up your family's ancestral grave or kill your entire family? Why did you harm me like this?"

He really wanted to go up and give this stinky woman a few slaps, but because his second uncle was around, he couldn't do it.

Ge Chunru was shocked.

She didn't expect Eldest Grandson Xiao and the others to know this.

She looked at the woman on the ground.

With one hand covering her swollen face, she shook her head slightly to indicate that she didn't say it.

Ge Chunru finally heaved a sigh of relief. "She's not one of my people. Don't accuse me wrongly."

"You shameless vixen. Don't think that just because you don't admit it, we can't do anything to you."

When the old lady saw Ge Chunru's expression, she was angered.

She could not help but pounce on her and grab her hair and slap her twice. "Little b * tch, you harm my eldest grandson.

"You vicious vixen. No wonder you keep having miscarriages.

"In the future, you won't be able to give birth to any children. This is complete retribution.

"A hen that can't give birth to an egg, and still doesn't allow my son to take a concubine.

"Who do you think you are?"

Following that, a few more slaps landed on Ge Chunru, causing her hair to fall out and her face to swell up.

Mdm Wang could not help but rush forward as well.

She punched Ge Chunru's stomach a few times. "You b * tch, you've harmed my son. I'll fight it out with you."

Since she could not give birth, then so be it.

The two of them acted too fast, and Xiao Yuanshi was unable to react in time.

By the time he hurriedly pulled the old lady and Mdm Wang away, his beloved wife had already been beaten badly.
