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

397-398

Chapter 397: Was this how she would repay him?

Ge Chunru stood up and walked over to hug Xiao Yuanshi.

"General, my sister is pregnant with the second prince's child and is in urgent need of money, so I had someone send it over first. If she can give birth to a son in the future, maybe her child will stand a chance to be the crown prince next time."

This meant that her sister's status was different now.

"Let's help Chunying a little more now. In the future, if she manages to win over the second prince, it will be beneficial to you."

Xiao Yuanshi pushed Ge Chunru away.

This time, he was really furious.

"Ge Chunru, do you still not know what you have done wrong?"

He shouted with an ashen face.

Ge Chunru was shocked when she was pushed away.

"I know I was wrong. If I want to give Chunying silver next time, I will tell you first."

This time, she had deliberately concealed it.

Otherwise, Xiao Yuanshi would never have allowed her to give 40,000 taels.

Xiao Yuanshi was so angry that he laughed. "Do you think there will be a next time? Ge Chunru, you keep using our family's money to support your younger siblings. I won't mention this for now. How could you accept 50,000 taels of silver from King Jin's residence privately? And you didn't even tell me."

This was what he was most furious about.

Ge Chunru was a little confused. "Since King Jin's manor has sent us money as a housewarming gift, why wouldn't you accept it?"

When she came to the northern border, she was still worried about how to raise money for her sister.

It just so happened that King Jin's manor got someone to send money over, so she happily accepted it.

Xiao Yuanshi realized that he had made a big mistake.

He had always thought Ge Chunru was a smart woman.

Now it seemed that she used all her brain cells and intelligence in crooked ways.

If Madam Kong were to encounter this, she would definitely be shocked and immediately bring the box containing the silver notes to find him.

If she were Shi Qingluo, his daughter-in-law, she would definitely have retreated on the spot.

However, Ge Chunru was so petty that she dared to accept any kind of money.

"Do you mean that we'll accept all gifts from anyone in the future?" Xiao Yuanshi asked coldly.

Ge Chunru originally wanted to say, "Since the money has arrived, why not accept it?"

He was already a deputy governor, what was the point if he didn't take the opportunity to make some money?

However, seeing Xiao Yuanshi's angry face, she hurriedly said, "But we shouldn't accept all of them."

She reached out to pull Xiao Yuanshi's sleeve and said coquettishly, "Don't be angry. In the future, if anyone gives me a gift or money, I'll ask you first before accepting it, okay?"

Xiao Yuanshi couldn't help but shake off her hand.

"Ge Chunru, I didn't expect you to become so greedy, stupid, and petty. Or maybe you had once disguised yourself too well, and after becoming my first wife, you gradually revealed your true nature."
