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

157-158

Chapter 157: Was the old lady crazy?

On the other hand, in the study room.

Xiao Yuanshi sent his people to investigate today's happenings.

He tried to recall as much as he could on what happened after he entered the restaurant.

There were a few questionable points.

Firstly, the waiter's hand trembled when he poured the wine for him, and it almost spilled out.

Secondly, why was it so coincidental that when he was drinking with his colleagues, that group of profligates were there too?

Most importantly, Xi Rui was with them.

Therefore, he sent his people to arrest that waiter and interrogate him.

Then, he deployed his people to keep an eye on Xi Rui and the emperor's uncle.

Xiao Yuanshi must be really outstanding to rise up to a general from a small soldier.

After Xi Rui and Liang Youxiao finished spreading the news about the restaurant, they got into the carriage.

Their personal assistants were not simple either.

Of course, they discovered that someone was following them and updated their masters.

Liang Youxiao waved his hand. "Let them follow."

Xi Rui raised his eyebrows. "Xiao Yuanshi is quite smart. It's fast that he is already suspecting us."

Liang Youxiao gave a meaningful smile. "He should be suspecting you, not us."

Xi Rui thought to himself, he wasn't a good brat either.

He shrugged nonchalantly. "So what if he finds out? I didn't intend to cover it."

Xiao Yuanshi would definitely be able to guess that he had been schemed against.

There were too many coincidences in that restaurant.

It would be strange if Xiao Yuanshi did not suspect them.

Even if he found out, he wasn't afraid.

He wanted to let Xiao Yuanshi know that if the general's wife dared to plot against him, she would have to bear his revenge.

Liang Youxiao chuckled. "That's right. It's just Xiao Yuanshi. There's nothing to be afraid of."

Xi Rui placed his hand on Liang Youxiao's shoulder. "Let's go and play Mahjong."

"Alright." Liang Youxiao nodded with a smile.

Hence, the two of them quickly went to a teahouse and invited two friends along.

The news of General Xiao in the capital spread as if it had a pair of wings.

When many people heard the news, they initially didn't dare to believe.

On second thought, it seemed like General Xiao was actually like this.

It was really hard to tell!

The next day, when Xiao Yuanshi went to the imperial court, he received a lot of strange gazes from the courtiers.

Some even looked at him with disdain.

His heart skipped a beat. Could it be that the old profligate had told others about it?

There wasn't much discussion today, so they were dismissed very soon.

Xiao Yuanshi was unsure if his eyes were playing tricks with him, but the emperor seemed to deliberately glance at him before leaving.
