Chapter 229: Bring it on
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Although Xiao Yuanshi was rumoured to be afraid of his wife, he wouldn’t let Ge Chunru make the decisions.
Thus, he couldn’t understand his son.
He looked at Xiao Hanzheng again and saw his proud expression.
He suddenly felt that he shouldn’t have come today.
He should have waited for his bad daughter-in-law to leave before coming back.
At this moment, Xi Rui and the others had also arrived.
They had just heard Shi Qingluo’s words before they entered.
Xi Rui and the others thought to themselves, Shi Qingluo was fantastic to make someone fearful of his wife.
They looked at each other and did not enter tacitly.
Instead, they went around the main entrance and listened through one of the walls at the side corridor.
After all, if they were to enter now, Xiao Yuanshi, who was very concerned about his reputation, might just leave.
Then how would they be able to watch a good show?
Xiao Yuanshi’s mind was on Xiao Hanzheng and Shi Qingluo, so he did not notice that others were eavesdropping outside.
The main reason was that this was Mr Hou’s residence.
He did not think that Xi Rui and the others would come and squat here at a corner.

If he heard any noise outside, he would also think that it came from the Hou family’s servants.
Shi Qingluo was also speechless when she saw Xiao Hanzheng’s scumbag father doubting his life.
His so-called lover was too fake.
She didn’t even know how to respect his daughter-in-law and Xiao Yuanshi still claimed that she was his true love.
What a bad review!
She asked, “Ex-father-in-law, why are you here today?”
Xiao Yuanshi replied, “I’m here to see Zheng’er.”
Xiao Hanzheng suddenly interjected, “Xiao Hanzheng!”
Xiao Yuanshi looked at him in confusion. “What?”
Shi Qingluo had a tacit understanding as she explained, “What my husband means is to ask you not to call him Zheng’er, but to call him Xiao Hanzheng directly.
“After all, your relationship is not good enough to call him Zheng’er.”
Xiao Hanzheng’s eyes were filled with a smile. “You are right, my wife.”
Xiao Yuanshi uttered under his breath, not only was his son heartless, he was also going astray.
What could he achieve in the future if he was under a woman’s control?
He suppressed the anger in his heart and said to Xiao Hanzheng, “What happened before was a misunderstanding. I did not know it was not your mother who deliberately pushed her down and caused her to have a miscarriage.
“At that time, I was also angry, so I agreed to divorce with your mother.
“I wanted to bring you back to the capital, but you didn’t agree.
“That’s why I was angry and said that if you didn’t come with me, we would break off the kinship.
“I didn’t expect you to agree.”
What he said was indeed true.
Back then, he proposed to break off the kinship because he was angry.
He just wanted to threaten his son.
It was also because he wanted to teach Kong Yuelan a lesson.
He wanted to bring Xiao Hanzheng, his eldest son, back to the capital to see how Kong Yuelan would live with her two younger children.
It made him regret for being so vicious.
Who would have thought that his son would agree.
As a father and a senior general, it was naturally not appropriate for him to lower his head and take back what he had said.
Hence, he broke off his kinship with his children just like that.
Shi Qingluo said, “Then, the reason why you are here now is to admit that you were blind back then?
“Seems like the mistress you married was really vicious, while my mother-in-law is innocent?”
Xiao Yuanshi was about to say something, but he suddenly stopped.
“How can you say that?”
He emphasised, “No matter what, I’m still your elder.”
If it wasn’t for the fact that the family had already split up, he would have personally come forward and helped his son divorce this daughter-in-law.
This was too outrageous.
What kind of daughter-in-law spoke to her father-in-law like this?
Shi Qingluo looked shocked. “Isn’t that what you meant?
“Then I’ll be more tactful. Back then, your eyesight wasn’t very good, and you misunderstood my mother-in-law for the sake of the beautiful and vicious little wife.
“Or perhaps, back then, you had your own difficulties in demoting your wife as a concubine.
“It was only because you were toyed around by an outsider, and in the end, you were forced to divorce and even broke off your kinship with your own children.
“Therefore, you have already broken off your marriage with your first wife.
“You are no longer my mother-in-law’s husband, and you are no longer my husband’s father. How can you still have the face to come here and pretend to be an elder?”
Xiao Yuanshi was so angry that his face was dark and gloomy. “You, you are impudent!”
The veil of shame was lifted, and those unbearable past events were brought up again.
He was extremely furious.
How dare she say such words? She really angered him to death.
Shi Qingluo rolled her eyes. “The emperor didn’t even say that I was impudent. Who do you think you are!”
Xiao Yuanshi choked again.
How was he supposed to respond to that?
A gentleman would not fight with a woman.
He would not get entangled with his rude and bad daughter-in-law.
He looked at Xiao Hanzheng. “Are you just going to watch her be so impudent to her elders?”
Xiao Hanzheng had an innocent look on his face. “In our family, my wife has the final say.”
Then, he sighed. “My wife has one advantage. She likes to tell the truth. Please bear with her.”
Xiao Yuanshi remained silent.
He suddenly realised that his son was also very irritating.
He could finally see that this son had a lot of resentment towards him, which was why he allowed Shi Qingluo to be so rude.
Xiao Yuanshi was smart.
With one look, he could tell that he would not be able to mend their family ties today.
Especially when there was a bad daughter-in-law involved, it was even more difficult.
Hence, he directly took advantage of the situation and said, “Xiao Hanzheng, no matter what, you are my biological son and blood is thicker than water.
“Even if we are separated from each other, I will not harm you.”
He did not call him “Zheng’er” anymore to prevent them from mocking him again.
“I have already established a firm foothold in the imperial court.
“If you want to become an official, I can also help you.
“I owe you and your younger siblings. I will make it up in the future.”
Shi Qingluo sneered after hearing that. “I wonder who was the one who arranged for people to intercept us on our way here.
“You are indeed blind and thick-skinned enough.
“You have proven what it means to lie through your teeth.”
Then, she continued, “Besides, where had you been previously?
“My husband is talented and has a powerful master recently.
“If he wants to become an official in the future, does he need your help now?
“And don’t make it sound so nice. You have to make up for the past.”
She curled her lips and continued, “You just see that my husband has a bright future and want to repair the relationship as soon as possible so that you can take advantage of him in the future.
“Why are you so good and thinking ahead?
“I think that you are too conceited to be a general. You are more suitable to be a businessman.”
Xiao Yuanshi was so angry that his face was extremely gloomy.
He could not help but slap the table. “Shi Qingluo, don’t think that I can’t do anything to you just because Xiao Hanzheng pampers you.”
This daughter-in-law was simply lawless. It was the first time in his life that he had been ridiculed like this.
Shi Qingluo grinned and said, “Then bring it on!
“Do you want to kill me, or do you want Xiao Hanzheng to divorce me?
“I just want to ask, can you do it?
“Have you asked the emperor if you can kill me?
“If you want Xiao Hanzheng to divorce me, then I’m sorry. I have the final say in my family.”
She raised her eyebrows. “If you can’t do it, then don’t say anything harsh. Otherwise, you’ll be slapped in the face.”
To Xi Rui and the others who were standing outside heard Shi Qing’s words against Xiao Yuanshi, this was an eye-opener.
She was too sharp.
At this moment, they felt that Xiao Yuanshi’s face was swollen.
He ended up being slapped in the face.
