Chapter 387 - That wouldn't be good

A few days ago, Shi Qingluo had received an invitation from King Jin’s residence for the flower banquet.

King Jin’s secondary consort, who liked to hold banquets, not only invited the family members of the officials in Northern City to attend, but she also sent invitations to the county magistrates and madams in various counties.

At that time, Shi Qingluo knew that King Jin had other intentions.

The invitation to everyone was just a cover, and it was definitely directed at her.

Shi Qingluo wasn’t afraid of King Jin’s actions.

Instead, she was afraid that he wouldn’t make a move.

So she decided to go to Northern City for a while.

It would be a pity to miss out on the show at the deputy governor’s residence.

Xiao Hanzheng held Shi Qingluo’s hand.

“I’ll send someone to protect you in secret. Be careful when you’re in North City.”

King Jin had sent an invitation this time. If his wife didn’t go, there would definitely be a second or third time.

It would be better to go and explore from the beginning.

“Don’t worry,” Shi Qingluo said with a smile. “Xi Rong will accompany me. Even if King Jin wants to rope us in, he won’t do anything to us.”

She blinked at Xiao Hanzheng. “I’m going to see the show at your scumbag father’s house. I’ll tell you when I come back.”

“Alright, I’ll wait for you to tell me when you come back,” Xiao Hanzheng sneered.

Since his wife liked to watch the show, he would let her be.

Shi Qingluo held his hand and laughed, “If your scumbag father knew that I’m going to North City, would he be so surprised that he’d cry? ”

“Definitely,” Xiao Hanzheng said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

The two of them talked for a while and became intimate.

After all, they wouldn’t see each other for almost ten days to half a month.

The next morning.

Ge Chunru and the others were also released from the prison.

Xiao Hanzheng had deliberately released them today so that Ge Chunru’s subordinates would see her embarrassing state.

As expected, when Xiao Yuanshi’s personal attendant saw Ge Chunru’s disheveled hair, wrinkled clothes, and haggard face, he didn’t pity her, but was more disgusted.

This was too embarrassing for his master.

However, no matter what, she was still his Madam.

He could only smile and step forward. “Madam, the deputy governor sent us to take you home.”

Ge Chunru had been locked up for more than ten days.

She had not slept or eaten well. She had never suffered like this.

She wasn’t very happy to see Xiao Yuanshi’s personal attendant.

“Where’s Xiao Yuanshi? Why didn’t he come?

“And why did you guys come to pick me up so late?”

The personal attendant was speechless. How could he blame his master?

“Madam, the general has just taken over as the deputy governor and can’t leave North City, so he sent me to pick you up.

“We can’t do anything about it for the time being.

“If the county government doesn’t let him go, our deputy governor can’t possibly bring people to forcibly let him go, right?

“You were released because the general used more than twenty mature craftsmen he had recruited over the years to exchange for you.”

The meaning was obvious. It wasn’t that easy for you to come out. You had to pay a price.

Ge Chunru was very upset, and her resentment towards Xiao Yuanshi rose to another level.

He actually didn’t come to pick her up personally.

As for exchanging the craftsmen or her, wasn’t that what he should do?

She was his wife. Was he going to ignore her when something happened?

She originally wanted to say a few more words, but Mdm Niu grabbed her arm.

“Sister, don’t talk so much. It’s more important to go back to the governor’s office first.”

This woman was really sick in the head.

What was the point of talking to the servants here?

Ge Chunru didn’t want to say anything more after Mdm Niu grabbed her.

However, she flung Mdm Niu’s hand away in disdain.

“Don’t call me big sister.”

She would never admit that she had such a sister-in-law.

Mdm Niu didn’t care. As long as she could follow them to the deputy governor’s office and enjoy life, it was fine.

At this moment, Shi Qingluo and Xi Rong had arrived at the entrance of the county office with a group of beautiful maids.

Behind them were a few carriages with people from old Xiao’s family.

Ge Chunru didn’t pay much attention to Shi Qingluo when she saw her.

She thought that she was here to find Xiao Hanzheng.

Although she hated Shi Qingluo to the core, she could not flare up in Xiao Hanzheng’s territory.

However, she remembered that she went to jail, and she would definitely take revenge in the future.

Shi Qingluo walked over with a smile. “Are we moving off? ”

Xiao Hanzheng nodded. “Yes.”

He reached out to pull her sleeve.

“Have a safe trip. Come back early.”

Shi Qingluo nodded and smiled. “Alright. After I set off, I’ll write to you every day.”

She and her little husband had not written to each other in private yet, so it was quite interesting to think about it this way.

Xiao Hanzheng naturally thought of the same thing. “Okay!”

Then, he said to Xiao Yuanshi’s personal attendant, “The old Xiao’s family and my wife are also going to Northern City with you.”

The personal attendant was speechless.

They were waiting to stir trouble.

He had a premonition that something was wrong before, and now that feeling was coming true.

He had personally witnessed the unreasonable and shrewish behavior of the old lady and the others.

He really didn’t expect that she would be going to Northern City with them.

And Shi Qingluo was not only eloquent, but she was also especially good at stirring up trouble.

The old Xiao’s family and Shi Qingluo going to Northern City together, that would be terrible.

He bit the bullet and asked, “Well, aren’t the old lady and the others doing well in the county? Why are they going to Northern City?”

“The old lady and the old master miss their son,” Xiao Hanzheng explained.

“So they want to take their family to Northern City to visit your deputy governor.”

He then asked, “What’s wrong?” From the looks of it, the deputy governor doesn’t welcome his parents?”

At this moment, the old lady’s foul-mouthed voice could be heard.

“Is it because our second son doesn’t welcome us? I gave birth to him and raised him, and this is how he treats his own parents?”

How could a personal attendant let his master carry the reputation of being unfilial?

He could only immediately say, ” You have misunderstood, old lady and eldest young master. The deputy governor has always thought of the old lady and old master. You are welcome to come.”

It seemed that old Xiao’s family was determined to go.

He couldn’t help but feel a headache for the deputy governor.

The old lady then snorted coldly. “At least he still has some conscience.”

The personal attendant then turned to Shi Qingluo.

“Eldest young lady, are you going to the deputy governor’s manor with the old lady and the others? ”

Shi Qingluo smiled.

“No, I’m not. I received an invitation from King Jin’s concubine to the flower banquet. So, I’m going to attend the banquet.

“Why? Your deputy governor doesn’t welcome me?”

The personal attendant really wanted to say, isn’t that obvious?

However, he smiled and said, “How could that be? You’ve misunderstood, eldest young lady.”

Ge Chunru’s face darkened. “What? You’re all going to North City together?”

Old Xiao’s family was going to North City. How were they going to live in the future?

She wanted to go crazy every time she thought of the days when she was in the capital and the days when the old lady and the others were in the general’s office.

Shi Qingluo glanced at her. “We’ll go our own way. It’s none of your business.”

The old lady opened the window of the carriage and looked at Ge Chunru coldly. “I don’t need your permission to go to my son’s house.”

She could not wait to go to the deputy governor’s office and give Second Son Xiao a good scolding and then make him deal with Ge Chunru.

Otherwise, she would not be able to vent her anger.
