They chatted for a while.
Shi Qingluo asked Bai Xu, "When we went to the capital, did the Wu family want to cause trouble for my mother-in-law and the workshop?"
Bai Xu wasn't surprised by her question. "Yes, Fourth Son Shi used the incident where the Wu family tried to frame Brother Xiao to threaten them.
"He successfully stayed at the Wu family's residence.
"In addition, Old Lady Shi and the rest would go to the Wu family's residence every few days. The Wu's residence was thrown into chaos.
"When you went to the capital, they felt that there was a loophole, so they found someone to steal the formulas in the workshops.
"But the main reason for stealing was to use this as a coverage.
"The Wu family's main intention was to find an old widower to make a move on your mother-in-law and ruin her reputation.
"If your mother-in-law was found to have a secret relationship with someone like him, it would ruin her reputation. It would also implicate your husband's reputation."
He paused for a moment before saying, "All in all, they just want to find a stepfather for Brother Xiao."
Shi Qingluo and Xiao Hanzheng's faces instantly darkened.
Bai Xu immediately expressed his gratitude. "I accidentally found out about this news and got my people to keep an eye on it.
"Then my people went to the village to split up the task and informed your chief in advance that these people wanted to steal the formulas.
"I didn't tell them about the old widower.
"Because of that, the villagers in your village treated him as a formula thief and sent him to the county office."
He had done a good deed, so he would leave his name behind too.
Xiao Hanzheng restrained the coldness in his eyes and cupped his fists at Bai Xu. "Thank you. We'll remember this favor."
He didn't expect the Wu family to be so despicable to think of such a disgusting thing.
Although he had secretly hired his people to protect his mother and siblings, he still couldn't help but feel fear after hearing Bai Xu's words.
If such a thing really happened, with his mother's temper, she would probably have no choice but to commit suicide.
Bai Xu waved his hand. "There's no need for that. We're friends, and your mother is also my elder. I found out by accident, so I naturally won't ignore it."
Shi Qingluo's face darkened. "It seems like the Wu family is too free. They only want to do bad things."
This move was too vicious.
She thought for a moment and said to Bai Xu, "Why don't you wait for my husband to finish his exams and decide whether you want to stay in the capital or explore the outside world before you consider following us?"
Bai Xu probably wanted to go to the capital to expand the Bai family's business.
Bai Xu smiled and replied, "Even if I'm going to explore the outside world, I'll still follow you guys."
He didn't know why, but he felt that following Shi Qingluo and her husband would give him a better future.
He trusted his own feelings.
