549 Regardless, he didn’t believe it
Xiao Yuanshi had not seen Ge Chunru for a long time.
However, he knew Ge Chunru’s recent situation at the tip of his fingertips.
After all, he had gotten his people to pay attention to her.
Ge Chunyi and Mdm Niu had used up most of Ge Chunru’s money.
Mdm Niu even incited Ge Chunyi to secretly sell one of the maidservants she brought with her, and the two of them took it to the gambling house and made a loss.
They came back and lied to Ge Chunru and she ran away on her own.
That stupid woman actually believed them.
Now, Ge Chunyi’s courtyard only had one maidservant left.
Mdm Niu’s attitude towards Ge Chunru was also much worse than before.
She would even throw a tantrum from time to time.
Ge Chunyi was also getting more and more impatient with his sister because Ge Chunru did not allow him to go to the gambling dens.
The shop that Ge Chunyi managed closed down as it was making losses.
Ge Chunru was short of money, so she sold the shop.
When Ge Chunru had spent all the money she had brought out, and Ge Chunyi sold the last shop and servant girl, he wondered how Ge Chunyi and Mdm Niu would treat her.
He didn’t want to see Ge Chunru at first, but he was in a good mood and wanted to see what Ge Chunru was up to.
Hence, he let his personal attendant bring her to the main hall.
He had already been tricked once in the study room, and he would not let anyone in again.
Xiao Yuanshi walked slowly to the main hall and saw Ge Chunru, who was dressed simply.
She looked a lot more haggard than when she left the deputy governor’s office, and she seemed to have aged a few years.
Without her luxurious clothes and jewelry, Ge Chunru looked like an ordinary woman.
He also noticed that Ge Chunru, who was ten years younger than Mdm Kong, actually did not look as young as Mdm Kong.
Although the current Mdm Kong didn’t look like a little girl, her appearance was already first-class, and there was an additional charm to it.
She was the kind that was more and more pleasing to the eye, and she even looked younger.
He suddenly felt that he was really blind in the past.
Otherwise, why would he fancy such a simple dish like Ge Chunru?
He walked in and sat down.
He looked at Ge Chunru coldly and asked, “What do you want from me? Just say it.”
Ge Chunru looked at Xiao Yuanshi, who was still in high spirits, and her hatred for him grew.
She took a deep breath and said proudly, “My sister will be bringing her son to Northern City to see me soon.
“That’s why I’m thinking of moving back with my brother for a while.”
She had received a letter from her sister, saying that she had given birth to a son for the second prince.
Because she missed her and Ge Chunyi so much, she was prepared to personally bring the child to live in Northern City for a while.
This made Ge Chunru very happy.
She missed her sister very much.
It was just that the courtyard she was living in now was relatively small, and there was only one maidservant left.
Her finances was still relatively tight, and she was afraid that she would not be able to take care of her younger sister well.
She was also afraid of embarrassing her sister.
After all, if she could give birth to a son, her sister’s status in the second prince’s residence would definitely rise.
Therefore, she had been in a difficult position recently.
It was Mdm Niu who came up with the idea for them to move back to the deputy governor’s mansion first.
This way, she wouldn’t be embarrassed.
Moreover, she had never written a letter to her sister to tell her that she had been demoted to a concubine by Xiao Yuanshi, or even driven out.
She felt embarrassed and was afraid that it would affect her sister’s position in the second prince’s heart.
Therefore, Mdm Niu’s idea was exactly what she wanted, so she came.
Xiao Yuanshi had just taken a sip of tea, but he couldn’t help but choke when he heard this. “Cough… cough …”
When he stopped coughing, he looked at Ge Chunru and said, ” I’ve already divorced you. What right do you have to come back? You’re bringing your younger brother here with you, aren’t you a little too shameless?”
Ever since he stopped liking her and even started to hate Ge Chunru, he naturally did not have a good attitude towards her.
This was the first time Ge Chunru had been insulted by Xiao Yuanshi.
She looked at him in disbelief as if she didn’t know him.
“How can you say that about me?”
She said angrily, “I’m doing this for your own good. After all, my sister is the second prince’s concubine and she has a royal grandson. When she brings him to the Northern City, if you treat them well, it will be beneficial to your relationship with the second prince.
“Otherwise, if you let my sister suffer, the second prince will definitely not forgive you when you return.”
Xiao Yuanshi raised his eyebrows in amusement. “Do you think I’m scared? ”
According to the information from his spies in the capital, Ge Chunying had long lost favor.
...
After giving birth to a son, not only did she not regain favor, but she was also thrown to the side courtyard by the second prince with that son to fend for themselves.
He even suspected that Ge Chunying wanted to come to the Northern City because the second prince was tired of this pair of mother and son.
How could he treat Ge Chunying well?
Furthermore, if Ge Chunying brought her son over and something happened to the second prince’s son in his residence, he would be in trouble.
Ge Chunru’s life was getting from bad to worse.
He was happy to watch the show, and it was impossible for him to let her and her brother return to the mansion to enjoy life.
“You have nothing to do with me now. Even if your sister brings the second prince here, it has nothing to do with me.
“You guys want to come back and live here? Dream on.”
Xiao Yuanshi looked at her with a bit of disdain and said, “Ge Chunru, I thought you had more dignity. I didn’t expect you to be so cheap.
“In order to come back and live a good life, you actually used such an excuse.”
He snorted coldly. “I’m telling you right now, no way!”
...
Ge Chunru felt as if her heart was being cut by a knife when she heard his harsh words.
After all, this was the man she had once loved and had even taken care of her for many years.
Her expression changed, and her eyes reddened, but she held back her tears.
She stood up even more fiercely and glared at Xiao Yuanshi.
“Bastard, who cares about a lousy deputy governor like you.
“I was just thinking that ultimately, we were once husband and wife, and I wanted to give you a hand. It’s fine if you don’t appreciate it, but there’s no need to say such hurtful words.
“You can hug this lousy deputy governor’s office for the rest of your life. I’ll go back to the capital with my sister.”
She had to be more confident and live with dignity.
She suddenly decided that when her sister came, she would talk about various disgusting things Xiao Yuanshi did and let her sister support her.
Then, she would bring her and her brother back to the capital and let the second prince teach Xiao Yuanshi a lesson.
Let’s see how arrogant he would be again.
Xiao Yuanshi looked at Ge Chunru’s expression and understood what she meant.
He sneered. “You’re acting all high and mighty just because you’re with the second prince’s concubine?
“Don’t forget how your sister became a secondary consort in the second prince’s manor.
“If it wasn’t for me, she wouldn’t even have the right to be a concubine. At most, she would be a servant staying in the master bedroom.
“If she is so influential that she can bring you and Ge Chunyi back to the capital, you win.
“I’m just afraid that this time, not only will she not bring you back, but she will also want you to raise money for her so that she could spend it in the second prince’s residence,” he said disdainfully.
He had already seen through Ge Chunying.
She was also an ungrateful wolf. Only Ge Chunru would treat her as a treasure.
That ingrate would bring her son to the northern border to see her sister and brother? Don’t tease him.
Regardless, he didn’t believe it!
