After Breaking Off My Marriage, I Became A Powerful Minister's Treasure Chapter 283 – Was furious

In fact, after Mother Xiao had finished beating and scolding him, her legs had gone soft and she could not help but feel nervous.

However, when she heard Shi Qingluo and the others shouting and she turned around to see her daughter-in-law’s encouraging gaze, she instantly regained her strength.

Xiao Yuanshi had never expected Mdm Kong to actually dare to beat and scold him.

It was also the first time he had seen her so fierce.

His mind was in a mess, and then his face could not help but turn black. The murderous aura on his body spread out. “You dare to hit me?”

He had been slapped by Old Lady Xiao in his life, but she was his mother.

Mdm Kong was the second person who dared to slap him, and it was a woman whom he had looked down on in the past.

The key was that she did it in front of so many people.

Xiao Yuanshi had experience on the battlefield, and the murderous aura he emitted made Mother Xiao’s legs feel a little weak again.

Xiao Hanzheng could not help but walk forward when he saw this.

Shi Qingluo pulled him back and shook her head at him before walking up on her own.

Although they were no longer related, there were always some people who liked double standards.

As the son of a bad father, her young husband was about to take the examinations, so there was no need for him to directly confront his bad father in public.

It was better for her to do it.

She walked forward and held Mother Xiao’s arm. She raised her eyebrows and looked at the bad father. “Why? Do you still want to hit my mother-in-law?

“Did my mother-in-law hit and scold the wrong person?

“You used her miscarriage to frame her. In order to have an affair with your sworn brother’s daughter, you wanted to demote my mother-in-law to a concubine. In the end, my mother-in-law had no choice but to voluntarily step down to fulfill your wishes.

“I just want to ask you, my ex-father-in-law, did my mother-in-law accuse you wrongly?”

Shi Qingluo was not afraid of the murderous aura that her father-in-law was emitting.

Instead, she retorted with an even more imposing manner.

Mother Xiao’s legs were suddenly not weak and she was no longer nervous as her daughter-in-law backed her up.

She said matter-of-factly, “That’s right. Have I wronged you?

“Your niece even bribed the doctor previously and used herbs that counter-effect each other to poison my son.

“It almost caused my son to die from a fever.

“This is a crime in our county. On account that you are Zheng’er’s ex-father, I did not send you to jail.

“Therefore, beating you is considered a light punishment.”

She got angry when she mentioned this.

She glared at Xiao Yuanshi again. “Scumbag, you are a father in vain. You have done so many shameless things, yet you still have the face to talk about my daughter-in-law. How can you be so shameless?”

Xiao Yuanshi’s expression turned even uglier. “How dare you!”

Mdm Kong had really been led astray by his bad daughter-in-law.

She used to be a gentle and weak woman, but after not seeing her for a year, she had turned into a fierce tigress.

Shi Qingluo also glared at Xiao Yuanshi. “General Xiao has such great authority. My mother-in-law only exposed those disgusting things that you guys did, yet you already became fierce.

“Why do you guys dare to do it and not let others talk about it?

“You’re not the capital magistrate. How can you control what we say?

“Or when did Senior General Xiao become the capital magistrate?

“It’s already good enough that we didn’t sue you, but you actually threatened us.”

Mother Xiao also nodded. “Right, it’s already good enough that we were kind enough not to go to the capital magistrate to sue you, but you’re still so arrogant.”

She coldly snorted. “Xiao Yuanshi, don’t go too far, or else I’ll sue you.”

Xiao Yuanshi was speechless.

This woman had completely become unrecognizable to him.

She had actually learned how to be so unreasonable.

His face darkened. “Enough. If you want to sue me, go ahead. I didn’t break any laws, so why should I be afraid of you?”

Even if his and Ge Chunru’s identities were exposed, they would at most be taken in as a joke, and the capital magistrate really couldn’t do anything about it.

Shi Qingluo sneered. “Sure, then I’ll go to the palace tomorrow to ask for an audience and let the emperor be the judge.”

Xiao Yuanshi also sneered, “Who do you think you are? Do you think you can meet the emperor just because you want to?”

Shi Qingluo raised her chin, “Can’t I go to the palace to offer a recipe?

“Then I won’t ask for any credit but ask the emperor to kindly help my mother-in-law.

“I will also ask the emperor if it is wrong for a high-ranking official like you to have an affair with the daughter of your sworn brother.”

Hmph, I have plenty of recipes, how can I not make you suffer?

Xiao Yuanshi was stunned.

He was really going crazy and wanted to slap his daughter-in-law to death.

“You, you are simply unreasonable.” He was furious.

However, he did not dare to say anything more to provoke Shi Qingluo.

He was afraid that she would really enter the palace tomorrow to present the recipes.

After all, this was a lesson learned from the third imperial consort..

Shi Qingluo sneered, “Unreasonable? You said that I’m unreasonable. Senior General Xiao is indeed mighty.

“Everyone, look. General Xiao is having an affair with the daughter of his sworn brother.

“At the beginning, he wanted to demote my mother-in-law to a concubine.

“My mother-in-law did not make a mistake, so she was naturally unwilling.

“Furthermore, for the sake of three children, she did not want their status to change from his legitimate children to his illegitimate children, so she requested to divorce at the court.

“His niece even bribed the doctor to harm my husband’s life.

“Today, my mother-in-law and I accidentally offended this couple again, and even exposed the true relationship between them that was unethical. We will definitely be retaliated against by General Xiao.”

She deliberately said, “If one day, something happens to our family members, they will definitely be liable.”

Liang Youxiao fanned the flames and said, “I didn’t expect General Xiao to have such authority. His power is so great that he can threaten the family members of a high scholar.

“Don’t worry, High Scholar Xiao’s wife. We saw what happened today.

“In the future, if you are attacked by General Xiao for revenge, we will come out and help you testify and let the capital magistrate deal with it impartially.”

Xi Rui also said, “Yes, if the capital magistrate does not dare to handle General Xiao, I will go into the palace and ask the emperor to make a decision for you.”

When everyone heard the two’s words, they also said, “Yes, yes, we can testify.”

Previously, they had heard that General Xiao’s wife had risen to power from a concubine, she was unfilial to her elders and destroyed his original wife and suppressed his legitimate children.

They had not expected her to have such an unsightly background.

General Xiao was not a good person either.

He actually married the daughter of his sworn brother. It was unethical.

He even allowed his niece to do such disgusting things.

Previously, many people thought that Mother Xiao had gone too far in slapping Xiao Yuanshi.

How could a woman slap her husband?

But now, they felt that this was a good slap.

This kind of adulterous couple was too disgusting.

Everyone could not help but point their fingers at the two of them.

Their words were as unpleasant as they could be.

Xiao Yuanshi had never been humiliated so much before.

He wished he could dig a hole in the ground and hide in it.

He was so angry that he felt dizzy. “You, you’re going too far!”

He did not look at the almanac when he went out today and actually met these two women who were pestering him.

He could not help but feel a little resentful toward Ge Chunru.

Was it not good to celebrate her birthday at home?

She had dragged him out to buy jewelry.

Ge Chunru also regretted calling Xiao Yuanshi out today.

She did not think that such a deep secret would be exposed by Shi Qingluo and her mother-in-law.

How could she continue to walk out on the streets in the future?

Now, everyone was pointing their fingers at her, and their words were especially unpleasant toward her.

Previously, she had miscarried because Old Lady Xiao and the others had not recovered well, and she was worried about her younger siblings.

Now, she had to put in a lot of effort to fight with Tao Liu, and her body had been a little weak.

Therefore, she had been so angry that her eyes went black and she fainted immediately.
