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

Chapter 125: Absolutely Not

After his trusted aide left, Xiao Yuanshi looked at the woman.

He instructed, "You should tag along soon."

Even though they let the old Xiao family mingle with the outside world, they still had to keep a watchful eye when they went out or were at home.

In particular, they had to prevent them from hooking up with that evil daughter-in-law again.

The woman thought for a moment and could not help but ask, "What about my younger brother?"

At this moment, Ge Chunru said, "We have already arranged for your younger brother to be a manager in my shop. You can go and take a look before you leave."

The woman was hand-picked by Ge Chunru.

She had taken a fancy of her and her younger brother who depended on each other for survival. Her brother was her soft spot, so it was easy for Ge Chunru to handle her.

The key was that she had previously been forced to secretly be a prostitute in order to earn a living.

Because of that, she had even contracted an infectious disease.

Ge Chunru hated the old Xiao family to the core.

Since they had ruined his brother's future, then let's make Eldest Grandson Xiao unable to have any children in his entire life and even forget about having a wife in the future.

May he die without any descendants.

When the woman heard this, she heaved a sigh of relief. "Yes, I will tag alone."

She had contracted an unclean disease and would not be able to live for long.

She only hoped that she could help her brother gain a foothold before her death.

At this moment, another trusted aide of Xiao Yuanshi walked in.

Xiao Yuanshi waved his hand at this woman. "You may leave."

She immediately left.

The trusted aide respectfully reported, "Master, we have some findings. That cement formula was indeed given by your son through that duke in the Mo family."

Xiao Yuanshi had previously been very annoyed by the troublemakers in the old residence and did not pay much attention to the happenings in the imperial court.

Not long ago, he chanced to hear that the emperor valued the contributions by that small county town very much and let the workers build a large workshop to produce cement.

He had not paid much attention to it at first, but after hearing that it was Nanxi County, he decided to delve deeper.

Only then did he know that the person who had shared the recipe was an elementary scholar with the family name Xiao.

The emperor had rewarded him with a mountain.

He had the feeling that this elementary scholar with the family name Xiao was his eldest son, but he did not ask further as he was afraid that others would notice something fishy about him.

Thus, he sent someone to Nanxi County to investigate.

He discovered it before knowing the old Xiao family had been liaising with Xiao Hanzheng's wife, and hence, his trusted aide had just returned from investigating it.

He asked curiously, "How did he get the cement formula?"

His trusted aide replied, "His newly married wife shared it with him."

Then, he told him everything about how Shi Qingluo was the disciple of an old immortal and the items she had invented.

Xiao Yuanshi was stunned. Clearly, he did not expect that evil daughter-in-law to have such abilities.
