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

75-76

Chapter 75: Their actions were too vicious

The moment Old Lady Xiao came, she had already tested the benefits of using filial piety, which were the weakness of these two beasts.

As Ge Chunru cried, Second Son Xiao's heart ached.

So Old Lady Xiao immediately sat on the ground, slapped her thigh and cried.

"My second son, you are a beast! Your father and I sold our house and land and came all the way here. After we were robbed, we begged along the way to come to the capital to see you. You even scolded your own mother. Your wife despised me, who was her mother-in-law. I only asked her to serve me the dishes. So what? Your heart is already aching? Besides, you committed adultery before marrying her. It's a fact that you abandoned your wife and raised a mistress to be your wife. Since you dare to do it, why can't others gossip about it? Don't think that no one knows about the disgusting things you did when you came to the capital. If you continue to be so unfilial, we will immediately go out and help you spread the news. This foxy woman pretended to fall and have a miscarriage and blamed it on Madam Kong. You took the opportunity to divorce and break off your kinship with your biological children. I would like to ask the emperor if his personally conferred senior general is supposed to do such an inhumane thing. Although Madam Kong doesn't say it, Zheng'er and the others are still your biological children. You are a heartless beast."

The more she spoke, the angrier she became.

She vented out all the grievances she had suffered along the journey and when she was in the village, and when she was despised here.

As she saw the two beasts living a good life, she nearly forgot about their grievances.

Shi Qingluo said that not only did she have to use filial piety to suppress them, she also had to get hold of the two beasts so that she could stay in the general's residence and seize the authority of the family head.

They could not neither be polite nor give in to these two beasts.

They could only compete on who was the more ruthless one, or else they would be suppressed.

Humph, to compare ruthlessness, they weren't afraid to be barefooted.

At worst, they would return to the village and live their original lives, but they definitely could not let these two beasts off easily.

Once she said these, the expressions of Xiao Yuanshi and Ge Chunru changed simultaneously.

When did Old Lady Xiao's words become so precise? Everything she said hit the main points.

Not only did she stab their lungs, but she also hurt their hearts.

They became even more anxious and feared that they would really run out and spread rumours.

It wouldn't have much effect to do these things in private.

Not to mention that they were just newly rich, other aristocratic families also encountered quite a number of similar issues.

However, if this were to be spread out openly to the public, it wouldn't be good if they caught the attention of others.

Xiao Yuanshi was certain that this was definitely not something that Old Lady Xiao could say or think of.

She even dared to demand asking the emperor.

Not only did she use filial piety to pressure them, but she also even knew how to use it against them.

This wasn't a good sign.

He took a deep breath and walked over to help Old Lady Xiao up. "Mother, you have misunderstood. We had just arrived in the capital and did not have a firm footing. That was because our plans were delayed. I had always wanted to bring you and my father to the capital to care for you."
