After Breaking Off My Marriage, I Became A Powerful Minister's Treasure Chapter 139

Published at 21st of July 2022 10:31:10 AM

After watching a big show, Shi Qingluo asked Xiao Erlang to give some copper coins to the beggars and ask them to spread the news of what happened at the Wu Family's house entrance to the entire county town.

The climax of this story was that the Wu family wanted to force Fourth Son Shi to marry their illegitimate daughter at a hefty price.

They wanted the Shi family to provide 1000 taels of silver as their betrothal gift.

If they didn't have the money, they had to sell their land and house and let them be the new owner of these assets.

The Shi family did not agree and did not want to propose marriage.

However, the Wu family was unwilling and forced them.

In the end, the Wu family betrothed their daughter with 20 taels of silver.

As for the Wu family agreeing to give 1000 taels of silver for dowry, it was omitted in the rumours.

After Xiao Erlang completed his task, all of them returned to the village in a horse carriage.

As expected, this news quickly spread in the entire county town.

The Wu family's “notoriety” also rose in their county town.

Everyone mentioned the Wu family as if they were bandits.

Of course, Mo Qingling was aware about this too.

He couldn't help but laugh. “Jinyu's wife is really not ordinary.”

She could actually think of this to deal with the Wu family.

He believed that the Shi family didn't come up with this idea by themselves.

He had met Fourth Son Shi before and he did not seem to be so smart.

His trusted aide was stunned. “Master, you're saying that Shi Qingluo taught her maternal family this?”

Mo Qingling nodded. “There's a high chance she was the mastermind. She is really magnanimous when she needs to be. When she's petty, her heart is as narrow as a needle eye.”

He knew a little about Shi Qingluo after interacting with her on a few occasions.

He narrowed his eyes. “Just wait. This matter is not over yet. The Wu family will be dealt with very soon.”

After he became Nanxi's county magistrate, the Wu family had caused him a lot of trouble.

It was time for them to be taught a lesson.

Before returning to the village, Shi Qingluo brought Mother Xiao, Xiao Baili, and Xiao Erlang along for shopping.

After watching the show, they obviously had to eat a good meal to celebrate.

After returning home, Liang Youxiao asked Shi Qingluo curiously, “Is this the end?

“Aren't you going to expose the Wu family's plan for setting your husband and harming you?”

Wasn't this letting the Wu Family go a little too easily?

Shi Qingluo gave him a look suggesting that it wouldn't be. “What are your plans?”

“Isn't it better to torment the Wu Family First before serving them a main course? Else, we are letting them off too easily.”

Her young husband had secretly sent people to investigate if there was any evidence suggesting that Xiao Yuanshi or that woman were instigating the Wu family.

They wouldn't be able to investigate further if the matter was exposed now.

If they could find such evidence, it would be very beneficial to bring down Xiao Yuanshi next time.

Moreover, Shi Qingluo wasn't pleased about letting the Wu family off just like that and letting them die too quickly.

They had to let them have a taste of these troublemakers, who would give them an indelible experience before they were exiled.

Only then would it be satisfying enough.

“As expected.” Liang Youxiao could not help but laugh.

He was wondering why she let the Wu family off so easily.

It turned out that there was still another plan for them.

He thought for a moment and said, “Oh right, I'll have someone send a letter to Xi Rui in the next few days. Have you finished making your toy?”

Shi Qingluo replied with a smile, “It's almost done. I'll give it to you tomorrow.”

The skateboard cart was made of high quality wood, but wooden wheels weren't smooth enough.

It would probably wear out very fast.

Therefore, after discussing with Xiao Mu, she went to the county town and ordered iron wheels. The joints connecting the skateboard and the wheels were also made of rion.

Liang Youxiao's eyes lit up. “Okay, I'll take a look at it tomorrow.”

If it was fun, he would also ask for one.

Under Shi Qingluo's advice, Xiao Baili made a table full of delicious food.

As the Xiao family had an unmarried woman and the side courtyard had a kitchen, their 3 guests brought their maids along to prepare their meals.

Occasionally, the Xiao family would share some delicious food with them.

Today, Xiao Hanzheng invited them for dinner.

The dishes that Xiao Baili cooked were not available outside, so the few of them could not stop eating.

After dinner, Shi Qingluo and Xiao Hanzheng went for a walk with Dumby.

Liang Youxiao wanted to go with them to ease digestion, but their goose was too hostile and did not allow him to follow.

Hence, he could only drag Fei Yuzhe out for a walk.

After walking for a while, Fei Yuzhe asked, “When are you returning to the capital?”

Liang Youxiao rubbed his bloated stomach. “The environment is good with great scenery here. I think it's pretty good. Let's stay here for a while longer.”

Fei Yuzhe remained silent, it is fake that there was great scenery here, but it is true that they could enjoy dishes prepared by the Xiao family every day.

He suggested, “I think you should stop writing to Xi Rui and go back to watch the drama yourself.”

He knew that Liang Youxiao and Shi Qingluo were discussing how to go against Xiao Yuanshi, as they didn't intentionally hide their plans.

When he heard Liang Youxiao finalising Shi Qingluo's plan, he was completely stunned.

He really did not expect this to happen.

In the past few days, he interacted with Mother Xiao on a few occasions.

He realised that she was a really gentle and kind woman who led a very simple life.

She wasn't those women who pretended to be gentle and simple in their backyard.

He felt very disdainful that Xiao Yuanshi abandoned his wife and children.

Xiao Yuanshi and his wife also wanted the Wu family to destroy Xiao Hanzheng and kill Shi Qingluo.

This made him feel even more disdainful and disgusted.

Therefore, he was very much looking forward to this plan's execution.

It would be too exciting if the plan succeeded.

Unfortunately, he still had to accompany his nephew for medical consultation and could not return to the capital.

It was just that the plan was challenging and all depended on whether Xi Rui would support it.

If Liang Youxiao, who didn't mind watching the drama and went back too, there was a higher chance that this plan would be a success.

After all, he had a belly full of bad ideas.

Of course, Shi Qingluo still seemed to be better than Liang Youxiao and Xi Rui in this aspect.

These words made Liang Youxiao's heart itch. “But I want to interact with Shi Qingluo more and dig out new things for collaboration.”

Fei Yuzhe knew that he had never given up his business.

“As long as this plan succeeds and Shi Qingluo is happy, will you receive less benefits?”

She would still be very generous when she was happy.

Moreover, although she was mean sometimes, her character was okay.

When dealing with bad people and enemies, of course she had to be ruthless.

If Shi Qingluo and Xiao Hanzheng were to treat their enemies with a kind and merciful look, he wasn't prepared to be close to them.

Their plans were to his likings.

He added, “If we miss out on such a good show, it would be a pity.”

Liang Youxiao rubbed his chin. “You're right. It would be a pity if we don't watch it for ourselves.”

He raised his eyebrows at his good friend and asked, “Do you have a hidden agenda for encouraging me to go back first?”

Fei Yuzhe rolled his eyes at him. “What motive could I have? I just want you to send me an urgent letter after the show and share with us.”

He could not watch the show in person, but he still wanted to know how the story unfolded and what happened in the end.

He couldn't help it.

The capital had been too boring for the past few years. How could he miss such an exciting show?

Liang Youxiao laughed out loud. “Alright, I'll go back to the capital to watch the show in a few days' time.”

He added, “After I watch it, I'll come back and share with you personally. The letter won't be as exciting as my narration.”

Fei Yuzhe remained silent…

Actually, you don't have to come back.

If he were with Shi Qingluo, who also disliked keeping herself idle, who knew what other things would happen.

He was especially afraid that this fellow would return with the capital's little demon.

If the three of them were together, it would really be difficult to foresee what would happen next.
