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

161-162

Chapter 161: Checkmated

Xi Xinheng took the paper from him and read it casually.

"I already know that Rui'er was the one who did that to you."

When Xiao Yuanshi saw Xi Xinheng's expression, he suddenly had a bad premonition.

"Crown prince, do you mean that the public administrator office supports this matter?"

He said with a cold face, "If that's the case, then I can only seek justice from the emperor."

Although he did not want to create enemies with the public administrator office, Xi Xinheng's attitude made him unable to hold back his anger.

Xi Xinheng swept a glance at the waiter whose hands were tied and trembling behind Xiao Yuanshi.

He said meaningfully, "You came to visit me with a gift. It's not good for me to let you return empty-handed. I'll also pass you a gift in return."

He clapped his hands, and two servant girls pulled a young woman out.

Xiao Yuanshi looked at Xi Xinheng in bafflement.

Why was the public administrator office's crown prince giving him a woman?

When Xi Xinheng saw Xiao Yuanshi's appearance, he guessed that Xiao Yuanshi still did not know what his wife had done.

"This is the gift your wife gave to Rui'er. I'll transfer it to you now. Previously, this woman grabbed my son's leg on the street and said my son was the father of her unborn child. This ruined my son's reputation. It also made it more troublesome for my son to choose a wife and settle his engagement next time."

He gave Xiao Yuanshi an insincere smile. "You should have heard about this. Your wife ruined my son's purity. My son is giving your wife a taste of his own medicine, am I right?"

Xiao Yuanshi uttered under his breath, your ass that your son is still pure.

However, he became more furious.

This time, it wasn't towards Xi Xinheng.

He really did not expect that this was why Xi Rui had schemed against him.

The woman's face was pale and her eyes were flickering.

Together with Xi Xinheng's attitude, he began to believe him.

The public administrator house would not deceive him with such a small matter.

At this moment, he was very embarrassed.

He initially wanted to use his leverage against the public administrator house, but he did not expect the tables to be turned around.

However, Xiao Yuanshi wasn't ordinary.

He nodded without changing his expression. "Thank you, crown prince. I will accept this gift."

Xi Xinheng picked up his teacup and took a sip. "General Xiao, this way please!"

They had already formed an enmity, so he did not need to stand on ceremony.

Although he often wanted to beat up his youngest son, if others wanted to scheme against his son, they still had to go through him.

Xiao Yuanshi also understood that he was destined to be unable to cooperate with the public administrator office or to ease their relationship.

It would be good enough if they did not target each other in the future.

Right now, he only prayed that the empress dowager, who had recently fallen ill in the palace, wouldn't know about it.

He did not bring the waiter back, but he took the woman away.
