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

Chapter 199: Why did she act so irrationally

When the two women who were talking heard the commotion, they turned around and saw Ge Chunru, feeling a little awkward.

They smiled sheepishly and left.

Ge Chunru’s sister always felt that Xiao Yuanshi wasn’t like this.

Moreover, she had to calm her sister down.

She assisted Ge Chunru to the side and sat down. “Sister, they’re all talking nonsense. Don’t listen to them.”

She asked the waiter to make a cup of hot tea.

Ge Chunru’s eyes immediately turned red.

This time, she wasn’t faking it. “If it’s not true, how could they say this?

“Recently, your brother-in-law has been visiting me less, and he often comes back late.

“I already felt that something was wrong. I thought he was working late, but I didn’t expect him to have a concubine outside.”

A woman’s sixth sense was usually more accurate.

Her sister frowned. “Sister, we can’t just listen to these people’s words. We still have to investigate.”

......

Just then, the waiter brought over a cup of hot tea.

Ge Chunru took it and threw it on the ground. “Yes, we have to investigate.”

“I’ll get someone to investigate now.”

She was really panicking.

Xiao Yuanshi could only be hers.

She couldn’t tolerate anyone snatching it from her.

Thus, she grabbed her sister out of the jewellery shop with quick steps.

Because of her actions just now, she left a bad impression on the ladies who were selecting jewellery.

When they returned, they told their family members that General Xiao’s wife was really too petty.

Soon, Eldest Son Xiao and Eldest Grandson Xiao also found three concubines and brought them back to the general’s residence.

Ge Chunru had just ordered someone to check if Xiao Yuanshi had an affair after knowing that the old Xiao family had arranged three concubines for her husband.

Hearing that the subordinates who had been following the old lady and the others came to report that these three girls were clean, she was so angry that she almost vomited blood.

She slapped the table. “This is too much! This is simply too much!”

She instructed her personal servant, “Get some people to throw these women out.”

The old hag and the others were definitely doing this on purpose, intentionally finding pure girls to annoy her.

Her sister stopped them. “Sister, let them make a fuss for now. They’ll be leaving in about ten days anyway.

“If you order them to leave now, they’ll definitely find another excuse to make a bigger fuss.”

She thought of something and said, “It’s better to keep them alive and let my brother-in-law see what kind of concubines his parents and brothers have found for him. Isn’t that humiliating?”

Her sister had been getting more and more impatient recently.

It seemed that she had really been provoked by the old Xiao family.

She narrowed her eyes.

These people were all instigated by Shi Qingluo.

She would remember this for now.

She would definitely take revenge for her sister in the future.

Hearing her sister’s words, Ge Chunru finally calmed down. “Yes, I can’t fall for it and lose my footing.

“Since they were sent here as the general’s concubines, then let them stay.”

She was certain that her husband would not touch these girls upon knowing their backgrounds.

At least it was better than the old lady finding three virgins to be the general’s concubines.

If Xiao Yuanshi accidentally touched them, she would feel disgusted.

Ge Chunyi reached out and patted her sister’s back gently. “So don’t be angry, sister.”

When Xiao Yuanshi heard about this when he came back, he didn’t get angry.

He only felt disgusted.

After all, this was indeed something that the old Xiao family would do.

He just wouldn’t touch these girls.

After the old Xiao family went to the northern border, he would send them away.

That night, he went to Ge Chunru’s courtyard to rest. He also wanted to appease her.

Ge Chunru did not make a fuss over this matter.

Instead, she served Xiao Yuanshi gently, which made Xiao Yuanshi very happy.

These few days, Mr Hou brought Xiao Hanzheng to visit his old friends.

While expanding his network, he also asked his old friends to guide him.

This was something that other elementary scholars, or even high scholars look forward to.

Therefore, it was important to find a powerful teacher.

.

Mr Hou also brought him to meet his two seniors who were officials in the capital.

One of them was posted to another town, so he did not see him this time.

Meanwhile, Xi Rong and the others dragged Shi Qingluo out to play every day.

She also successfully entered the social circle for the rich profligates in the capital.

They knew that the skateboards, Mahjong, and poker cards were all created by Shi Qingluo.

In addition, even Xi Rong, Xi Rui, and Liang Youxiao recognised Shi Qingluo so much, so the other rich profligates were also interested to hang out with her.

However, in the next few days, a minister came with a palace servant to find her.

The agriculture minister was here to look for Shi Qingluo and discuss the problem of growing corn.

Shi Qingluo did not hide anything and told him everything she knew about growing corn.

She even gave him some suggestions on how to fertilise the soil.

The minister’s eyes lit up as he listened.

He did not expect her to know so much about farming.

Hence, he asked a lot of questions, and not only did Shi Qingluo answer all of them, she also gave a lot of good advice.

The minister was very excited and invited Shi Qingluo to visit the royal farm.

Xiao Hanzheng went out with Mr Hou.

Because Xi Rong and the palace attendants were accompanying them, Shi Qingluo agreed.

Xi Rui and Liang Youxiao were going to celebrate a friend’s birthday today, so they did not go with them.

After going to the royal farms, Shi Qingluo discovered that the minister and the others had planted a lot of crops and were still researching how to increase the yield of rice and wheat.

She also gave a lot of suggestions, which made the minister and the others extremely excited.

If she wasn’t a woman, they would have made her their confidant.

Then, all of them gathered around and discussed, while Shi Qingluo and Liang Youxiao toured around themselves.

Xi Rong was bored. “Luoluo, let’s go hunting on the mountain nearby.”

She added, “That mountain is a hunting ground for the royals. I haven’t been here for a long time.”

Although Shi Qingluo was not very interested in hunting, she was very indulgent towards her best friend.

“Sure, then I’ll accompany you to take a look.”

Xi Rong revealed a big smile on her face and reached out to hold Shi Qingluo. “Luoluo, you’re too nice.”

Hence, the two of them brought their people to this mountain for hunting.

Once Xi Rong rode her horse up the mountain, she became a free girl and went far away as she chased a deer.

Shi Qingluo rode her horse and strolled around, wanting to see if she would encounter any useful plants.

As she strolled around, she went off the trails.

After walking for some distance, she found a wild ginseng.

Then, she dismounted her horse and started digging.

While she was digging haldway, she suddenly smelled the scent of blood.

She sped up and put the ginseng away before walking over to the smell of blood.

Then, she saw a handsome young man dressed in white embroidered clothes.

He was leaning against a large tree and panting as if he had just escaped from a disaster.

His left shoulder was injured and his clothes were dyed red with blood.

When he saw Shi Qingluo, who had suddenly appeared, he was stunned and looked at her warily. “Who are you?”

Shi Qingluo swept a glance at the man. “I didn’t see anything.”

Then, she turned around and was about to leave.

She had no intention of saving him or helping him at all.

This was the royal hunting ground.

The people who appeared here were either rich or noble.

Moreover, from the way the man dressed and the accessories he wore, his identity was definitely not simple.

The main point was that it was too coincidental.

Did this man really end up here after being chased and accidentally bumped into her?

.

Even if it was really a coincidence, she wasn’t going to bother with it.

She was a married woman, why would she save a male stranger.

Anyway, it seemed like he wouldn’t die.

His identity wasn’t simple, and his people would probably be able to find him here very soon.

If he did it on purpose, then she couldn’t bother with him.

This would cause her trouble.

Shi Qingluo didn’t know that just as she turned around to leave, the young man couldn’t help but reveal a shocked and astonished expression.

Obviously, he didn’t expect Shi Qingluo to react like this.

Shouldn’t she go forward and help her?

Either that, or she would reveal a shocked expression, or she would be at a loss.

Why did she act so irrationally..
