533 Well done
Xiao Yuanshi was a little confused. His son changed the topic so quickly.
“What is it?” he asked.
He suspected that it might have something to do with the letter Xiao Hanzheng had received.
“Go and check if Zhuojun has any private dealings with the Ge Kingdom,” Xiao Hanzheng said.
His scumbag father was more knowledgeable about the northern border than he seemed, and he still had some hidden cards.
This was something that he, Prince Yi, and the third prince couldn’t compete with.
What he could confirm now was that although his scumbag father had done some things for Prince Jin, he had not truly betrayed the emperor.
Therefore, it was most appropriate for his father to investigate this.
Xiao Yuanshi was stunned. “Zhuo Jun? The tanhua who was in the same batch as you?
“He has a problem?”
“He’s Prince Jin’s son, and his mother is a princess from the previous dynasty,” Xiao Hanzheng said, half-jokingly.
Xiao Yuanshi was shocked, “Are you sure? ”
Xiao Hanzheng nodded. “Of course.
“I suspect that the people of the previous dynasty are closely related to the Ge Kingdom’s royal family. I don’t know if Prince Jin played a role in this.
“It’s still better to check it out.
“If you succeed in this matter, you can atone for your crimes in front of the emperor.”
Xiao Yuanshi sneered. “What do I need to atone for? ”
The first thing he did was accuse his own father.
Xiao Hanzheng raised his eyebrows. “The matter of copying the map and hiding it, don’t you? ”
Xiao Yuanshi choked. It really was.
He couldn’t help but remember Ge Chunru, that jinx.
He said through gritted teeth, “Alright, I’ll get someone to investigate.”
“Remember,” Xiao Hanzheng emphasized, “don’t act rashly and alert the enemy.
“If Prince Jin’s men ask again, tell them that I said Yelu Deguang has been locked up for interrogation,” he continued.
Hearing this, Xiao Yuanshi was even more certain that it was fake that Prince Yi had gone to collect meat.
He had most likely taken Yelu Deguang away.
However, although he hated Prince Yi, he didn’t dare to disclose his guess to Prince Jin’s people.
Otherwise, if the emperor found out, he would be in serious trouble.
He looked at Xiao Hanzheng, who didn’t reveal anything on his face.
It was not easy to get along with his son.
Xiao Hanzheng made an inviting gesture. “Is there anything else? If there’s nothing else, please.”
Xiao Yuanshi was speechless. Throwing me away after using it!
But he really couldn’t do anything about this son of his. “Nothing now.”
He turned around and left with a sullen face with a heart full of anger.
Ever since his son and his bad daughter-in-law came to the northern border, everything seemed to have gone out of control.
Back at the inn, Xiao Yuanshi followed Xiao Hanzheng’s instructions and went back to Prince Jin’s men.
He sat by the window and fell into deep thought.
A moment later, he proceeded to order someone to investigate what Xiao Hanzheng had told him.
In the next few days, Xiao Yuanshi would often go to Kong Yuelan to make his presence known.
However, his presence was all ignored.
He had even been put in a gunny sack and beaten up when he walked into an alley.
By the time he broke free, the person who had put the sack on him had already run away.
The people he brought along suffered the same fate, and were put in gunny sacks together.
Xiao Yuanshi sent someone to investigate.
Only then did he realize that her legitimate daughter brought Xi Rong and Xi Rui along to place the gunny sack.
Kong Yuelan was also involved.
Xiao Yuanshi was furious.
He never thought that his once obedient and gentle daughter would be so bold and unfilial.
His gentle and timid ex-wife even indulged in this.
This was completely not putting him in his eyes.
He decided that he would definitely win over Kong Yuelan.
After they became a family again, he would discipline his ex-wife and daughter, who had been led astray by Shi Qingluo.
This was simply outrageous!
The next day, Xiao Yuanshi was about to go to Kong Yuelan again, but he received a letter from Northern City.
...
There was a tricky matter in Northern City that he, the deputy governor, had to deal with.
Xiao Yuanshi had to leave the town in advance.
He didn’t go to Heyang County, but went straight back to the northern border.
The main thing was that Prince Yi wasn’t here, so he didn’t have to worry too much about Kong Yuelan being coaxed by Prince Yi.
When he was done, he would find an opportunity to come back and coax Kong Yuelan to change her mind.
In the courtyard, the family sat down and had breakfast.
Someone came to report that Xiao Yuanshi had left the town with his men.
“You did this?” Shi Qingluo asked Xiao Hanzheng with a sneer.
Xiao Hanzheng sneered and nodded. “Yes, he has been harassing my mother recently. I feel annoyed just looking at him.”
Therefore, he quickly sent them away. Out of sight, out of mind.
“Well done!” Shi Qingluo agreed.
...
These few days, this scumbag father had been pestering her mother-in-law, and it looked really too greasy.
“Well done, son!” Mother Xiao also chuckled.
She didn’t want to annoy Xiao Yuanshi to death.
Her daughter wanted to put a gunny sack over her head.
She expressed her strong support and even followed her.
They didn’t even bother to hide their whereabouts so that this scumbag would back off.
Who knew that this scumbag father had a high self-esteem and didn’t notice that they were disgusted with him all.
Or even if he found out, he pretended not to know. He always lived in his own world, which was very annoying.
Xiao Yuanshi’s departure didn’t affect anything.
Xiao Hanzheng and Shi Qingluo were busy setting up the defense and the can workshop.
In Northern City, Prince Jin’s residence.
Liang Yujun was having his meal in Secondary Consort Hua’s courtyard.
The butler walked in and said respectfully, “Your Highness, Mdm Ruan’s father has come.”
Not long ago, Prince Jin’s princess consort, who had gained power in the entire Prince Jin’s residence, was sent back to her maternal family.
Prince Jin even dethroned Ordinary County Princess from her position into a commoner.
He sent her back to Mdm Ruan’s maternal family.
No one had recovered from the shock of Princess Zhen becoming Ordinary County Princess because of Shi Qingluo.
This news once again shocked the entire Northern City.
No one had expected that Prince Jin’s princess consort, who had always been favored and could get whatever she wanted, would be sent back to her maternal family by Prince Jin.
Everyone was very curious about what had caused this.
Many people asked around and realized that it was because of Shi Qingluo.
However, they felt that this shouldn’t be the case, so this matter piqued everyone’s curiosity and they waited to see what would happen next.
Ruan Songling and Liang Mingmin were sent back to their maternal family, and their family was shocked.
Then, Ruan Songling said that she was the one who lost her temper and wanted to leave Prince Jin’s residence.
Behind her back, they secretly scolded her for being sick in the head, but they still didn’t dare to offend her and flattered her and her daughter.
After all, the Ruan family knew how much Prince Jin doted on Ruan Songling and Liang Mingmin.
Ruan Songling had always been disdainful of Prince Jin whenever she wanted to. They had been worried and afraid at the beginning, but now they were used to it.
This time, Mdm Ruan’s father thought that his daughter was throwing a tantrum so she returned to her maternal house.
As long as his daughter coaxed Prince Jin, she could return to Prince Jin’s residence and act like a tyrant.
However, no matter how much he tried to persuade her, his daughter refused to listen to him and to coax Prince Jin.
He guessed that his daughter probably wanted Prince Jin to give in first before returning back to Prince Jin’s residence with Prince Jin.
Therefore, he didn’t take it to heart.
Instead, he felt that his daughter was powerful and had Prince Jin under her thumb.
It had been more than ten days since Prince Jin had returned from Heyang County, but he had not come to pick up his daughter.
This seemed to be different from what they had expected.
Most importantly, her father had been having a hard time recently and was being manipulated by his boss.
This made him very unhappy.
When he was rejected by his daughter again to return to Prince Jin’s residence …
He could only come to Prince Jin’s residence in person to talk to Prince Jin.
