Liang Yujun hadn't expected his disgraceful younger brother actually to encourage the Xiao siblings to change their surnames.
He had even negotiated with the elders in his clan.
Those old fogies were all stubborn. He didn't know how this fellow had managed to do it.
He also didn't expect that Xiao Hanzheng would change his surname to Kong in order to make Xiao Yuanshi give up on his little scheme.
Shi Qingluo's mouth was even more poisonous, almost driving Xiao Yuanshi to his grave.
He felt sympathy for the Xiao Yuanshi.
This guy was too miserable.
He gave away his capable son and daughter-in-law for an unpresentable woman.
It was like picking up a sesame seed and throwing away a watermelon.
He looked at Xiao Yuanshi sympathetically and said, "It's fine now. You may leave."
Xiao Yuanshi was speechless.
Prince Jin was not a joke. If this fellow had not asked him to come over, he would not have been humiliated and might have even sympathized with him.
He really couldn't keep a pleasant expression on his face.
He raised his hands and cupped his fists. "Goodbye!"
Then he turned around and left.
"Your Highness, it appears that Deputy Governor Xiao did not take you seriously," Shi Qingluo said to Prince Jin as she watched her scumbag father leave. He actually left with a flick of his sleeve. He must be blaming you."
Xiao Yuanshi, who was just about to go downstairs, almost fell down when he heard this.
He couldn't help but turn to look at Shi Qingluo angrily. "Princess Fubao, don't go too far."
He hadn't even left yet, and she was already trying to sow discord.
His bad daughter-in-law was really not a good person.
Shi Qingluo raised her brows. "I'm the one who's going overboard. So what?"
Xiao Yuanshi choked. "I'll see how long you can be arrogant."
"I'll definitely live longer than you," Shi Qingluo chuckled.
Xiao Yuanshi was speechless.
This wretched girl actually cursed him.
Liang Yujun had not expected Shi Qingluo to be so evil as to make things difficult for him.
She had done it on purpose to anger Xiao Yuanshi.
Looking at Xiao Yuanshi's angry but helpless expression, he was also quite speechless.
He still needed to make use of Xiao Yuanshi later, so he didn't want him to have any more resentment towards him.
Thus, he gave Xiao Yuanshi a way out. "If Deputy Governor Xiao is still busy, then go ahead."
Xiao Yuanshi also regretted turning around just now, which made it even more difficult for him to get out of the situation.
Hearing Prince Jin's words, he forced a smile. "Then I'll take my leave!"
This time, he didn't delay any further. As if he were being chased by a ghost, he quickly went downstairs.
Shi Qingluo looked at her scumbag father's fleeing appearance and pouted. "Deputy Governor Xiao is nothing more than this."
Liang Yulin smiled.
"You don't have to bother with someone who can't do great things."
Then he looked at Liang Yujun and said with a half-smile, "Imperial brother, your men drugged Deputy Governor Xiao and caused him to be childless.
"Now, you've called him over to be forced to do this.
"Don't tell me you also have a grudge against him? Or are you helping us on purpose?"
Shi Qingluo smiled at Prince Jin and said, "Your Highness, you're such a nice person."
Liang Yujun was speechless. Nice person, my ass.
These two people were really bad. They were too evil.
"Brother," he said to Liang Yulin with a dark expression, "when did I get someone to drug Deputy Governor Xiao and make him die without descendants?
"You can eat without thinking through, but you can't make claims without evidence."
This bastard was too outrageous.
He actually said such a thing in public.
When this news reached Xiao Yuanshi's ears, it would be another point of tension.
Although Xiao Yuanshi knew that Ge Chunru's medicine was given by his son's subordinate, he deliberately pretended not to know.
This bastard even deliberately pointed it out, trying to drive a wedge between them.
Liang Yulin shrugged his shoulders.
"Whether you did it or not, you know it well in your heart. I believe Deputy Governor Xiao is clear about it too."
Liang Yujun choked.
He didn't want to talk to this person anymore. "I still have things to do. I'll take my leave first."
Liang Yulin made an inviting gesture. "Take care, imperial brother. I'm not going to send you out."
Liang Yujun left with his men.
When he was about to head down, Liang Yujun said, "Imperial brother, remember to send someone to pay for the wine at the Xiao residence. Don't renege on your debt."
Liang Yujun almost stumbled as well. He turned and said with a dark expression, "I still have this bit of money."
Liang Yulin's face was full of smiles.
"Of course, I know that you don't lack money. I'm just reminding you."
"Then I really have to thank you," Liang Yujun said through gritted teeth.
Liang Yulin was still smiling.
"We're brothers, there's no need to be so polite!"
Liang Yujun was speechless.
If this bastard dared to claim to be second among them, no one would dare to claim to be first on who was the most thick-skinned.
He no longer sympathized with the Xiao Yuanshi, but he did feel empathy for him.
Then he flicked his sleeve and left without hesitation.
After the others watched the show, they were all shocked.
They did not expect Shi Qingluo to treat Prince Jin so casually.
She had even arrogantly and wantonly squeezed her ex-father-in-law, Deputy Governor Xiao, dry to the point that she had driven him away in anger.
She then followed Prince Yi to attack Prince Jin.
Only Shi Qingluo would dare to do such a thing.
The key was that she hadn't been punished by Prince Jin.
This was rare.
Once again, everyone had the feeling that Shi Qingluo was not to be trifled with.
"I'll have to remind my wife and children not to provoke Shi Qingluo when I get home."
Following that, people who wanted to get closer to Shi Qingluo came forward and asked her about chili.
When Shi Qingluo said that she would sell the chilies and chili seeds separately, these people left happily.
Today, not only did everyone eat so many delicacies that they had never seen before, but they also tasted so many kinds of wine.
Most importantly, they had watched a few shows in succession. It was the right decision to come.
On the other hand, Xiao Yuanshi returned to his residence on his horse, his face was frighteningly ugly.
He was still thinking about how he had been mocked by Prince Yi and his bad son, and he almost stepped on a woman who had suddenly fallen.
He immediately pulled the horse back to prevent her from being trampled.
Then he got off the horse and walked over to the young woman, who had her head lowered on the ground.
He asked, "Young lady, are you alright?"
Ge Chunying had heard that all the masters and young masters of Northern City's big and small families would be gathering on this street for a banquet today, so she had gone out with her servant girl.
She was wondering if she could meet a few useful people.
However, she didn't find an opportunity to do so.
Then she saw Xiao Yuanshi riding over with a bad expression.
She remembered her previous plan, so when the horse was approaching, she deliberately fell to the ground.
With Xiao Yuanshi's skills, he would definitely not let the horse step on her.
Sure enough, it was as she had expected.
As if she had been frightened, she looked up with tears in her eyes. "I'm fine."
"Brother-in-law, why are you here?" She asked in surprise.
Xiao Yuanshi looked at Ge Chunying's surprised expression, but she did not believe that this was a coincidence.
He sneered in his heart.
He didn't know what this woman was up to at this time.
"I didn't expect it to be you either," he said indifferently.
"If you're fine, you can get up." Don't block his way.
In her heart, Ge Chunying cursed Xiao Yuanshi for becoming more and more unprotective of women.
On the surface, she nodded. "Alright."
Then she stood up, her face contorted in pain, and she fell towards Xiao Yuanshi.
