After Breaking Off My Marriage, I Became A Powerful Minister's Treasure Chapter 153 – Inverting black and white in this game  

Xi Rui and the emperor's uncle were drinking in the private room.

The emperor's uncle continued sharing his hobbies with Xi Rui.

Xi Rui pretended to be dealing with it well, but he actually wanted to roll his eyes.

Xi Rui curled his lips and said, “These men are all sissy.”

The emperor's uncle raised his eyebrows. “You haven't even grown all your hair yet, so who are you to call them sissy?”

Xi Rui did not mention Xiao Yuanshi right from the start.

Instead, he praised a few of the imperial guards.

These people all came from some well-known family.

He knew them and had a good relationship with them.

Hence, even if this news were to spread, it would only be treated as a joke.

The emperor's uncle laughed. “Then, you should strike them off the list as soon as possible. I haven't heard of any problems with these people.”

He pointed to the sky and said, “Also, if you dare to touch the imperial guards, as your uncle, I will not forgive you.”

The empress dowager was Duke Xi's sister, so the emperor was Xi Rui's uncle.

This dandy's sweet mouth could not only coax the empress dowager, but also make the emperor happy.

Otherwise, if someone else had burned the princess's hair, they would definitely have been dealt with multiple times, but he was still alive and well.

Xi Rui snorted. “I didn't want to touch them in the first place.”

He moved closer to the emperor's uncle's ear and whispered, “By the way, I heard that Xiao Yuanshi is the same as you behind his back.”

His uncle was stunned. “Really? It doesn't look like it!”

Xi Rui said, “According to reliable sources, it's true.

“And do you know why he doesn't take concubines? It's actually to cover it up.”

His uncle said in disbelief, “I've never heard that he has a close relationship with anyone outside!”

Xiao Yuanshi was handsome, refined, and had a good appearance and temperament.

He had only admired him in the past, but he did not have any thoughts about it.

Although he was an old profligate, he still had principles in doing things and would never force anyone.

Otherwise, he would have long been called into the palace to receive the emperor's scolding.

Xi Rui knew that he would not believe him, so he made up a story with a mysterious look on his face. “I heard that he is targeting Ge Chunyi. Of course, others won't be able to tell.”

Liang Youxiao had asked him to make up a rumour..

“Didn't you see that he didn't support the Xiao family, but he helped his brother-in-law the most?

“He treated his brother-in-law very well. Will you treat your brother-in-law so well?”

This old profligate had a wife.

He was shocked. “Ah, so it has something to do with that gigolo?”

Xiao Yuanshi had indeed been nurturing his brother-in-law all this while.

Those who did not know them well would think that that was his biological brother.

The emperor's uncle had a rather distant relationship with his brothers-in-law.

In fact, they did not even get along very well.

Therefore, he suddenly felt that there was something wrong with Xiao Yuanshi.

If he were anyone else, they definitely would not have believed it.

However, the emperor's uncle had some personal experience in this kind of relationship and believed it.

Xi Rui thought to himself, I just made it up, and you actually believed it.

Come on, the subsequent explanations that I had made up were no longer needed.

“One of the servants in my house has a relative working in the general's residence. This news should be accurate.”

The emperor's uncle touched his chin and sighed. “No wonder I haven't heard of it.”

Xi Rui saw a chance to do so, so he went over and said, “I heard today that his brother-in-law's leg was chopped off.”

Hearing this news, he felt very comfortable.

He didn't know who did this good deed and eliminated this devil for others!

He was more disgusted with Ge Chunyi and his brother than with Xiao Yuanshi.

In the past, when Ge Chunyi was in the academy, he did not get along with the profligates like him.

He looked at them as if they were rice worms who had eaten their house's grains.

With Xiao Yuanshi's support, Ge Chunyi wouldn't be anything.

He made up a story. “The general is not in a good mood right now. This is the right time to make your move.”

The emperor's uncle looked at Xi Rui with a faint smile, “I heard that you have never been on good terms with Xiao Yuanshi. Not long ago, you even broke his brother-in-law's hand.”

In fact, only a handful of hedonistic sons who lived leisurely and happily in the capital were really stupid.

They all had their own ways of survival.

They knew clearly who they could offend and who they could not afford to offend, what they could do and what they could not do.

The current emperor was a wise ruler who worked hard to govern.

If the emperor's uncle were to behave atrociously and force the ordinary women and men on the street, even if he did not kill him because of their personal relationship, he would definitely not forgive him.

This brat kept encouraging him. His motive was not simple.

Xi Rui did not hide anything. “Yes, I have a grudge against Xiao Yuanshi and his brother-in-law.

“That's why I'm happy to see Xiao Yuanshi suffer.”

Everyone was not stupid. There was no point in hiding it.

He had always had this goal in mind.

The emperor's uncle was tempted.

He shook his head. “Xiao Yuanshi won't agree.”

He had a quite strong personality and had a very high self-esteem.

Xi Rui smiled and said, “Liang Youxiao got a bottle of medicine elsewhere.

“If it works out, Xiao Yuanshi will be the one who volunteered himself, it has nothing to do with you.

“When the time comes, you will be the victim.”

Liang Youxiao had taught him this trick and asked him to keep the emperor's uncle in loop.

He was inverting black and white in this game.

This fellow had seen others do this with his own eyes and learned it.

He felt that this trick was particularly ideal and would be able to lure them in.

The emperor's uncle's smile deepened. “Little brat, you're very evil!”

However, he liked this kind of wicked idea.

When the time came, even if the emperor heard about this, he could still speak up as a victim.

The main thing was that Xiao Yuanshi was a lowly-ranked general who did not have much of a foundation.

Even if he offended him, it was not a big deal to profligates like him with powerful backgrounds.

If it was someone with a strong background, the emperor's uncle would definitely refuse without hesitation.

“We can do this.” He waved at the emperor's uncle who listened to him closely.

Soon, the two of them let out some sneaky laughter.

The emperor's uncle did not want to go against his principles, but he didn't mind for other matters.

Xi Rui also did not want him to be too involved in this or to bear the risk alone, so he assured him that he would handle the first part.

Xiao Yuanshi's brother-in-law despised him, while his wife had schemed against him and caused him to be unable to marry a good wife.

So there was nothing wrong for him to get back at Xiao Yuanshi who stood with his brother-in-law.

Who asked Xiao Yuanshi to marry such a problematic wife.

Well, thinking about this, the little psychological burden of his was also gone.
