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

197-198

Chapter 197: Don't push your luck too much

Ge Chunru threw herself into Xiao Yuanshi's arms and burst into tears.

Her lowered head was filled with hatred, and she was tempted to eat away the hearts of the old lady and Madam Wang.

When these people were on their way to the northern border, she would let someone snatch their money and break their legs.

Otherwise, it would be difficult to appease her anger from being beaten up several times.

"She is not one of my people at all. You have accused me wrongly."

She cried until she looked like she was about to die. "Since my mother-in-law doesn't like me, why don't you get me a rope? I'll hang myself."

This implied that since the old lady was forcing her to die, she would throw a tantrum.

But what was Old Lady Xiao's identity? An ignorant village woman who was pestering her.

She actually took off her belt immediately and threw it over. "Come, come. I'll give you a belt. If you don't hang yourself, then I'll do it."

Ge Chunru did not expect the old lady to be so shameless.

Her body stiffened.

Xiao Yuanshi sensed his wife's reaction.

With a darkened face, he said, "Enough!"

He asked, "Mother, do you have proof that she is one of Chunru's people?"

He knew and tacitly agreed to this.

He had also seen the woman shaking her head to his wife just now.

Old Lady Xiao sneered, "We don't have any evidence, but we can be sure that she did it."

She pointed at the woman on the ground. "When we asked this little b*tch just now, she said that your wife is behind it."

When they returned to their courtyard just now, they beat this b*tch and asked her if Ge Chunru had instructed her to do it.

Although she did not admit it, she was stunned for a moment.

It was obvious that she was surprised that they knew about it.

Xiao Yuanshi raised his hand and rubbed his brows. "Mother, even if you want to accuse someone of theft, you have to show the stolen items. You can't be so unreasonable."

Old Lady Xiao spat at him. "You bastard. Even when your nephew has a fatal disease, you're still protecting this woman. Alright, since you say that she did not instigate her to do so, then we'll report it to the officials and let them investigate. If she didn't do it, I will kneel in front of her and kowtow to show my sincere apology."

These words successfully caused Xiao Yuanshi and Ge Chunru's expressions to change.

If they really went to report it to the officials, regardless of whether they managed to discover the truth, he and his wife would be humiliated again.

Moreover, the possibility of digging out the truth was very high.

Xiao Yuanshi was about to go crazy. "Mother, don't air our family's dirty laundry. Why do you always like to go out and ruin our reputation?"

"Ptui, you're clearly the one who married a poisonous woman to stir up trouble. You won't even spare your own nephew. The two of you are beasts."

The old lady couldn't help but hit Xiao Yuanshi, who was shielding his wife.

Xiao Yuanshi hurriedly dodged to avoid the slaps.

He also knew that it was useless to reason with the old Xiao family.
