Chapter 127 Who else?
When Shi Qingluo saw him, he came in.
He raised his hand and waved, "Come here and say."
After the toffee was ready, the long-term worker of the Xiao family went out first.
Although Liang Youxiao was here, Shi Qingluo did not let him avoid suspicion.
The little husband's scumbag father is so disgusting, so of course the things he did should be seen by the young masters from these aristocratic families in Kyoto.
When Shi Laosan saw that the noble young master from the capital was also there, he was stunned for a moment and was still thinking about whether to say anything.
When he saw Shi Qingluo waving, he walked in.
After Shi Qingluo asked him to sit down, he poured him a glass of water.
She asked: "What happened?"
Shi Laosan glanced at Liang Youxiao.
Shi Qing said: "There's nothing bad to say, just pretend he doesn't exist."
Liang Youxiao: "..." He is such a big person, why doesn't he exist?
However, he was bored and saw that the two of them were mysterious, so he just stayed there and wanted to hear what was going on.
Shi Laosan: "..." Such a noble man is standing here, looking at me with interest, how can he pretend that he doesn't exist?
This girl has such a big heart.
He said bravely: "The Wu family has sent your fourth uncle to look for him."
"Two days ago, you wanted me, your mother, and your grandparents to come to Xiao's house to cause trouble, saying you were unfilial."
"You still want us to go to the county government to sue you."
He looked at Shi Qingluo flatteringly and said, "I refused directly and said that your married daughter threw water and you didn't do anything, so we can't sue you."
"Besides, you are our daughter. It will not do us any good to sue you."
Shi Qingluo didn't believe this. If she hadn't asked for a child, Shi Laosan and his wife would have gone to the county government office with the Shi family to accuse her of being unfilial.
She looked at Shi Laosan with a half-smile, "After you refused, they now have new ideas?"
Shi Laosan felt a little uncomfortable when she saw him, "Yes, today the Wu family asked your fourth uncle to secretly drug your husband-in-law at the flower viewing banquet in the county town in a few days."
A few days later, a scholar held a flower-viewing banquet at his home and invited all the children and scholars in the county to watch the flowers.
These words surprised Shi Qingluo. He originally thought that the scumbag father and that woman in the capital would be the first to deal with her.
She frowned and asked, "Are they looking for a woman to mess around with my husband-in-law at the flower viewing party?"
Shi Laosan discovered that this daughter was really unusually smart.
He nodded: "Yes, the Wu family wants a daughter from a concubine to be with your husband-in-law, and then be caught by everyone."
"I heard that the concubine herself also fell in love with your husband, and offered to cooperate."
Shi Qingluo raised his eyebrows, "The Wu family is really willing to spend money and actually choose to do it themselves!"
She asked again: "Then what? Isn't it just this?"
Shi Laosan said sarcastically: "Then let me and your mother lead you to the river and push you down."
"Let everyone think that you were stimulated and forced to jump into the river by your husband."
"Wait until after your funeral."
Seeing that his daughter's eyes were not kind, he immediately said: "They are talking about the funeral, not me."
He actually doesn't want his daughter to go find her master now, otherwise what will his son do?
Shi Qingluo nodded to express his belief, "Continue."
Shi Laosan added: "I said that after a few months, the Wu family will send the concubine here and force your husband-in-law to marry her."
"We will also publicize this matter everywhere in the county."
"Your husband is a scholar, but when a group of students gathered to enjoy flowers, he actually raped the concubine of the Wu family."
"He forced his beloved first wife to jump into the river and die. With this reputation, it is impossible to continue the imperial examination."
"After you are gone, the Wu family probably wants to swallow up several of the Xiao family's workshops."
He added, "The last one is my guess."
Otherwise, why would the Wu family have to sacrifice a daughter from a common concubine? They must be thinking about the Xiao family's workshop.
The Wu family may think that this girl is more powerful. As long as she dies, Xiao Hanzheng, a scholar, doesn't know how to run a business.
The Wu family has another handle, and it's not easy to take away the recipe from the workshop.
Xiao Hanzheng's expression remained unchanged, but a strong anger arose in his heart.
What made him angry was not that the two scumbags wanted to ruin his reputation, but that they actually wanted to kill his little wife.
This completely stepped on his bottom line.
Good, he remembered.
Liang Youxiao was also stunned. He didn't expect someone to plot Xiao Hanzheng's future so viciously.
"Is a small Wu family so courageous?"
He looked at Xiao Hanzheng and said, "You are Lord Hou's disciple."
Although the old man has a good appearance, his influence is not small, and he still has a protective temper.
The Wu family was just a small merchant, and having a relative who was a concubine to the prefect meant nothing to him.
Xiao Hanzheng said: "Of course they don't have the courage, but what if someone instigates or pretends to support them? They won't be afraid now."
Shi Lao San added, "I heard from Lao Si that there are people from the capital who are behind the move of the young master of the Wu family."
"But I don't know who it is yet."
Shi Qingluo curled his lips, "You can know without guessing, who else can it be?"
"My little husband-in-law and I separated from each other and broke off the relationship. I don't want him to get ahead of his ex-father and the woman who is in a powerful position outside the family."
Liang Youxiao asked the villagers before, but the main thing they told him was about Shi Qingluo.
So he doesn't know the inside story yet.
He asked with a gossipy face: "Who is Xiao Hanzheng's biological father in the capital?"
Shi Qingluo said truthfully: "Xiao Yuanshi, General Xiao."
Then he explained to him how Xiao Yuanshi used Xiao Hanzheng's grandfather's family to learn martial arts and went to the battlefield to perform meritorious service and become a general.
Then he brought back an outsider who was only a few years older than Xiao Hanzheng.
The outsider deliberately threw the miscarriage, and falsely accused Xiao's mother.
General Xiao took advantage of this incident to demote his wife as a concubine, but Xiao Hanzheng did not agree.
In the end, General Xiao drove out his brothers and sisters, separated their families, and reconciled with Xiao's mother.
The woman also succeeded in taking the position, but she didn't stop.
Previously, he bribed the doctor in the town to kill Xiao Hanzheng.
Liang Youxiao was stunned after hearing this, but quickly calmed down.
After all, there is a lot of filth in aristocratic families. Although what happened to Xiao Hanzheng was quite excessive, he had seen something even more disgusting.
Of course, he now also has a feeling of disgust towards Xiao Yuanshi and his wife.
Remembering another thing, he looked at Shi Qingluo thoughtfully.
"There were a lot of jokes at General Xiao's house in the capital before. When the old Xiao family went to the capital, it couldn't have been your fault, right?"
This woman never concealed her temper in front of them.
I heard about the Xiao family's affairs before, and they talked about it when a group of them were drinking in private, and they felt that someone was afraid that someone wanted to mess with Xiao Yuanshi, so they encouraged his family to make such a fuss.
Now when he heard what Shi Qingluo said, he felt that those people's so-called selling land and house to go to Beijing to see his son might be her handiwork.
Otherwise, how could the timing be so coincidental? Not long after the riots broke out in the capital, Xiao Yuanshi and his wife wanted to kill Shi Qingluo and ruin Xiao Hanzheng's future.
This is obviously revenge.
Shi Qingluo did not deny it, but admitted openly, "Yes, it was my handiwork."
"But obviously their holdout time was too short, and now I have been exposed, so those two people want to treat others in the same way."
Unable to encourage her parents to sue for unfilial piety, they killed her and pretended to be a suicide, ruining the young husband's reputation and future.
It was indeed something that scumbag father and that woman could do.
