After listening to Shi Qingluo’s profound words, Old Lady Xiao roughly understood what to do.
“You mean to use Ge Chunru’s crime to threaten Second Son Xiao?”
“Not a threat, but for an exchange,” Shi Qingluo replied.
“She ordered people to beat up an eighth-ranked county government official, Eldest Grandson Xiao, and her in-laws. This is a fact.
“If my ex-father-in–law doesn’t agree, you can say that you want to sue him and make Ge Chunru spend the rest of her life in prison.
“If he doesn’t agree, you can use your identity as her in-laws to get rid of this unfilial Ge Chunru.
“We can still go to the capital magistrate to sue her if we’re in the capital, but how do we sue her at the northern border?” asked Old Lady Xiao after some thought.
“Zheng’er is just a county magistrate, she can’t control Second Son Xiao, right?”
Second Son Xiao’s rank as a deputy governor or something seemed to be quite superior.
It was said that held the highest rank besides King Jin and the governor.
“Of course, my husband can’t control Deputy Governor Xiao, ” Shi Qingluo replied, “but aren’t there two other people above him? ”
The third prince is not the governor of Northern City, so you can go directly to King Jin’s residence to file a complaint.
After all, this is his fief.
Didn’t King Jin want to win over Xiao Hanzheng’s scumbag father? She wanted to create an opportunity for him.
Let King Jin fight with Xiao Hanzheng’s scumbag father or work with him to find the treasure first.
Before her young hubby left the capital, the emperor gave him an important task, which was to keep an eye on King Jin and his scumbag father and find the treasure.
His scumbag father had half of the treasure map, and Zhuo Jun’s mother had the other half.
They also had the key to the treasure.
They could only find the treasure after the two of them worked together.
An opportunity was present now.
Old Lady Xiao was stunned. “I’ll go and find King Jin. Will he care? ”
Shi Qingluo laughed.
“Of course, don’t look for him alone. You have to find him when he’s on the road. You have to cry your grievances in front of so many people.
“If King Jin wants to maintain justice in Northern City, he has to seek justice for you.
“Also, you don’t have to worry that your complaint will cause Deputy Governor Xiao to lose his position.
“After all, this is not the capital, and King Jin has no right to appoint or dismiss him.
“Ge Chunru can be punished. After all, she broke the law.”
Hearing this, Old Lady Xiao agreed.
“Alright, if that b * stard Second Son Xiao is not willing to demote his wife to a concubine, I’ll bring my family to complain to King Jin.”
Her second son, that beast, could not lose his position.
After all, they still had to let Eldest Grandson Xiao inherit the general’s residence in the capital, which was currently the deputy governor’s residence.
“That’s right,” Shi Qingluo laughed.
“You can use the same method you used on them in the capital at the northern border.
“Doesn’t matter if this method is old as long as it’s useful.”
Xiao Yuanshi and Ge Chunru both cared about their reputation the most, so they had to hit the bull’s eye.
Old Lady Xiao’s smile deepened. “You’re right, Qingluo. Your idea works.
“Ge Chunru and the others are now locked up in the prison. How are we going to bring them away?”
The old Xiao family alone was no match for the guards that Ge Chunru had brought.
Shi Qingluo replied, “I’ll ask Xi Rui and the others to lend their personal guards to escort your family to Northern City.
“They will come back after you’ve safely arrived at Deputy Governor Xiao’s residence.”
The more Old Lady Xiao looked at Shi Qingluo, the more she liked her.
“You’re so thoughtful.”
She started to worry about her grandson again.
“If we go to Northern City, what about Eldest Grandson Xiao? ”
“Of course,” Shi Qingluo laughed, “we have to bring Eldest Grandson Xiao along. His injuries are the evidence.
“When the time comes, I’ll get someone to modify his carriage. The road won’t be so bumpy, and he’ll be able to lie down in the carriage.
“Let him recuperate for a few days first.
“Later on, he shall use the medicine my husband prescribed after he returns. The effect will be much better.
“It’s also good to let Ge Chunru and the others suffer more in the prison.”
Seeing Old Lady Xiao’s hesitation, Shi Qingluo added, “If I don’t bring Eldest Grandson Xiao to see his second uncle, he might not believe me. Moreover, how can we ask for compensation?
“If Deputy Governor Xiao doesn’t agree to your conditions, you can take Eldest Grandson Xiao to King Jin’s office and ask him to seek justice.”
“There’s life evidence. King Jin has to do something even if he doesn’t want to.”
This could be considered as digging a hole for King Jin and causing trouble for his scumbag father.
It would also make his scumbag father angry at Ge Chunru again and damage their feelings between them.
After all, if old Xiao’s family went to make a scene, his scumbag father would definitely be humiliated at Northern City again, and his precious little wife would be the one who caused this.
Ge Chunru and her scumbag father would make a scene again and send Ge Chunyi to the mine.
His scumbag father’s patience for Ge Chunru was probably running out.
Old Lady Xiao nodded with a smile.
“You’re right. Second Son Xiao won’t believe us. Take Eldest Grandson Xiao with you and let him see how badly his nephew has been beaten.”
At that time, she would have to make that bastard Second Son Xiao compensate Eldest Grandson Xiao no matter what.
“You’re a smart person, old lady. When the time comes, you can do whatever benefits you.”
She then emphasized, “As long as you and the old master are Deputy Governor Xiao’s biological parents and have never broken off your relationship, you can use filial piety as the most effective weapon to protect yourself and attack your enemy.
In ancient times, filial piety was too important.
As long as one wanted a future ahead, they would not dare to have a stain on this.
That was why there were so many instances of unkind parents, but their children did not dare to be unfilial or were forcibly suppressed.
The Xiao family’s people were very strong, it would be a pity not to use them.
In the past, when Xiao Hanzheng’s scumbag father was in Beijing, they had sent the old Xiao family over as a gift.
Now that Xiao Hanzheng’s scumbag father was in Northern City, they would package the old Xiao’s family over as the gift again.
She wondered if Xiao Hanzheng’s scumbag father would be “surprised” again.
She was really a filial ‘good daughter-in-law’.
Old Lady Xiao nodded. “I understand.”
As expected, the old master was wise enough to get her to ask Shi Qingluo.
Otherwise, he really didn’t know how to deal with that little b * tch Ge Chunru and that b * stard Second Son Xiao.
She also thought that Second Son Xiao’s position was so high now, unlike in the capital, where there was no one to control him.
It would be difficult for them to control him.
She didn’t expect that he could still be manipulated.
They would not be as foolish as their second son, who would break off relations with his own children for a little b * tch.
He couldn’t alter the situation even if he wanted to.
In the beginning, the old master had always opposed the second child to break off relations with his children, but Second Son Xiao did not listen for the sake of that little slut. Now, he deserved retribution.
In this life, the second son would never think of separating from his family, let alone break off the family.
“Rest well then,” Shi Qingluo said to the old lady.
“I’ll send you to Northern City in the next few days.
Heyang County was not far from Northern City.
It would take about three or four days to get there by horse at full speed. It would not take six or seven days to get there by a horse carriage without any rest points in between. A horse carriage took a longer time and usually took more than ten days.
Because of Ge Chunru’s incident, Xiao Hanzheng’s father would soon find out that they had not only come to the northern border, but her husband had also become the county magistrate of Heyang County.
She wondered if he would be surprised by the consecutive “surprises”.
