Chapter 195: A clever person may become the victim of his own ingenuity

Shi Qingluo was indeed the disciple of the old immortal.

She was indeed smart, the troublemakers of the Xiao family thought.

They had never thought of doing this.

Previously, they only wanted to beat Ge Chunru to death.

However, it was unrealistic.

Xiao Yuanshi would not allow this to happen.

Perhaps after they left the capital, he would not help his eldest nephew to pave his career.

Shi Qingluo's idea was too good.

Before they left, they had to rope in a woman that would ensure that Xiao Yuanshi was in safe hands.

While they dealt with Ge Chunru, they could also sow discord between them.

Old Lady Xiao and the others listened with great interest. "Anything else?"

Shi Qingluo smiled and said, "I only said one idea just now. Now, it's the second one. Doesn't Ge Chunru care about her little brother? Then you guys can strike hard and not give him a chance to stand up again. Or you can think of a way to deal with her brother and let her have a taste of what you guys are going through now."

The troublemakers from the old Xiao family clapped their hands. "That's right. We should let her have a taste of her own poison."

They had freaked out just now.

If Xiao Hanzheng had not been able to cure Eldest Grandson Xiao's illness, they would be really worried.

They asked, "Then what should we do?"

Shi Qingluo rolled her eyes. "Don't ask me everything. Use your brains to think about this."

Let the troublemakers explore themselves.

They could only nod. "Alright, then we'll think about it ourselves then."

Old Lady Xiao thought for a moment and asked, "Is that all? I don't think we can let the matter of my grandson being harmed by his concubine go just like that."

After all, all these ideas were secretly linked to that little hoof.

She wanted to vent her anger, so were the other members of the old Xiao family.

Shi Qingluo smiled and said, "Of course, we can't just let it go. This is a big vulnerability. Why don't you guys exploit it? In the future, be it controlling Ge Chunru or Senior General Xiao, this attack would be very damaging."

She winked at the old Xiao family with an insincere smile. "If outsiders know that the general's wife intentionally had bought a brothel girl with a vicious disease and deliberately harmed the general's nephew, then... If this were to be spread, would Senior General Xiao still be a good person?"

Xiao Hanzheng and his wife would let the old Xiao family exploit this leverage.

When they had to settle their score with them in the future, they would definitely let the entire capital know about this.

Old Lady Xiao nodded. "Of course, he isn't. The outsiders' saliva scolding them will drown them."

"But we don't have any evidence either. It is definitely that woman's doing, but she will not admit to it."

They didn't have the ability to investigate.

Shi Qingluo said, "It doesn't matter if she doesn't admit it. Just insist on it. In any case, just say that she was the one who did it. You will go to the prefectural magistrate at the capital to report it. If she doesn't admit it, get the officials to investigate and decide what to do next. As long as she did it, there will be traces. Since she is the mastermind, she definitely won't dare to let you report it to the officials. General Xiao wouldn't allow it either, so you just have to make good use of this leverage."
