Xiao Hanzheng had given Xiao Yuanshi an antidote to keep him calm and rational.
However, the poison had already been in his body for a year. The damage it had caused to his body was irreversible.
If he used some rare and expensive medicine to concoct pills, it could still make up for the previous damage, but he naturally would not do such a thing for his scumbag father.
The next day, Xiao Hanzheng came to the prison and gave the antidote to Xiao Yuanshi.
“My father won’t pursue the matter of you offending your superiors, so you can return to Nanxi County tomorrow.”
“But there won’t be a next time,” he said expressionlessly. “If you disrespect him again, you’ll have to go to jail.”
He released his scumbag father so quickly so that he could deal with the best of the Xiao Family himself.
After Xiao Yuanshi took the medicine, he did not lose his temper easily.
However, hearing his son address King Yi as Father in front of him, the anger in his heart couldn’t help but rise again. “You guys recognize your father so quickly.”
Xiao Hanzheng raised his eyebrows. “I have changed my name to the Liang
Family and my mother has married into King Yi’s mansion. Our father is King
He opened the door and was about to leave. “I’m leaving first. You know what to do. ”
“Wait, I still have one more thing to say,” Xiao Yuanshi shouted from behind.
Xiao Hanzheng turned around. “Speak.”
Xiao Yuanshi pursed his lips as if he was a little embarrassed, but he still said, “I want to see the twins. Bring them out to see me tomorrow.”
He added, “I prepared a greeting gift for them.”
Although his grandchildren had changed their surname to Liang, he did not know why he liked them so much when he saw them.
In the past two days, he had been thinking that if they had not broken off their ties, those two little ones would have been his grandchildren. He could still play with them every day and not be taken advantage of by King Yi.
Unfortunately, it was just a thought, so he hated Ge Chunru even more. At the same time, regret haunted him every day.
Xiao Hanzheng sneered. “Do you think that’s possible?”
“I hope that you can recognize the reality. It’s fine that we’ve already broken off our relationship. We’ve even changed our surname to Liang, so my children have nothing to do with you. They don’t need your greeting gift.”
“What you need to do in the future is to never appear in front of them again,” he said coldly.
Xiao Yuanshi was furious. “You, you’re too heartless.”
Xiao Hanzheng sneered. “I learned that from you. You were even more ruthless than this.”
“Farewell!”
After he finished speaking, he turned around, opened the door, and left the prison without stopping.
Xiao Yuanshi clenched his hands into fists. He was both angry and regretful. They were father and son. How did things end up like this?
However, he also knew that his son’s heart was very cold. This father-son relationship could not be continued, so he could only give up.
When Xiao Baili returned to her mother’s house, Xiao Yuanshi was also released from prison.
Although he really wanted to see the twins again, he held back. He knew that with King Yi and his son around, he wouldn’t be able to see them.
Thus, he did not stay any longer and directly set off to return to Nanxi County.
He wanted to settle the score for poisoning himself.
Also, what the old Xiao Family did made his children hate him and not forgive him. He had to settle this score.
King Yi and Xiao Hanzheng soon received the news of Xiao Yuanshi’s departure.
Xiao Hanzheng sent a message to the people in Nanxi County.
At this moment, Xi Rui was brought to see him and King Yi.
On the other side, Shi Qingluo and Kong Yuelan were talking to Xiao Baili.
“Baili, how do you feel in the Public House?” Shi Qingluo asked with concern. “Did anyone bully you?
Xiao Baili held her sister-in-law’s hand and smiled, “No one bullied me. My mother-in-law is very good to me, and my two sisters-in-law are quite easy to get along with.”
“The people from the other houses are also more polite to me.”
Seeing her like this, Shi Qingluo felt relieved. “That’s good.”
Xiao Baili and Xi Rui returned to the Public House after dinner.
The two of them had gotten married because they liked each other, so they lived a sweet life.
Then Xiao Hanyi took part in the imperial examinations. He was taught by Xiao Hanzheng and King Yi, and he was also a talented student who had been admitted to the best academies in both the North City and Imperial City.
In the court examinations, he was ranked third and became a Zhong Tanhua.
Xiao Hanyi was handsome and had a scholarly air about him. When he smiled, it was as if he was bathing in the spring breeze, and it was easy for people to have a good impression of him.
When he rode his horse through the streets, he had indeed charmed the young ladies of the aristocratic families in the capital.
After changing his surname to Liang, his identity was no longer a peasant, but a royal.
With King Yi’s estate as his backing, a powerful elder brother and sister-in-law, and his elder sister marrying into the High Duke’s Public House, Xiao Hanyi’s market was very good.
Many families had wanted to get married before Zhong Tanhua, and after Zhong Tanhua, the threshold was almost broken.
After Shi Qingluo came to the capital, she took the initiative to integrate into the upper-class circle of madams in the capital. After all, madams’ diplomacy was still very important.
Recently, every time she went out, someone would come to inquire about Xiao Hanyi’s marriage, and she would politely reject them.
Shi Qingluo was about to ask her little husband to ask Xiao Hanyi about his thoughts on marriage when Liang Youxiao, who had gone out to sea for more than two years without any news, returned with his men.
On this day, Shi Qingluo was reading the account book in the study.
The two little ones ran in. “Mother, Mother, we want to see lions, elephants, and giraffes.”
Shi Qingluo put down the account book and said helplessly, “It’s too far. I can’t take you there now.”
Liang Youjia ran over and held her hand. “We can see it now. Mother, take us there.”
Shi Qingluo was a little confused. ‘Where are we going now?
Liang Yiran walked over, “Mother, Uncle Xiao has returned to the capital and brought back many animals. We heard from the servant boy that there are lions. elenhants. and giraffes.”
“We’ve just entered the city. We can still go and see it.”
Shi Qingluo was stunned. She did not expect Liang Youxiao to be back.
That was understandable. That fellow had only returned after more than two years. He had brought back so many animals at once. He must have been to Africa.
“Alright, Mother will take you to see it,” she said with a smile.
She called her mother-in-law and went out with her brother-in-law.
The carriage couldn’t pass through the busiest street in the capital. The front was blocked by the crowd.
Along the way, they heard the commoners talking about the animals Liang Youxiao had brought back, as well as foreigners.
“There’s actually an animal with such a long neck. It looks pretty good.”
“That lion looks mighty.”
“That rhinoceros is different from the cows we’ve seen before. It looks really big.”
“And that ostrich is really tall. I’ve never seen such a strange bird before.”
“These animals look very strange, and that foreigner is even more strange. He actually has yellow hair, red hair, and blue or brown eyes.”
“Yeah, those women are dressed even more outrageously. They actually revealed so many places. It’s really humiliating.”
“That blonde hair and blue eyes look so strange. If Lord Liang hadn’t brought these foreigners back, we would never have known that there were such people living on the other side of the sea.”
“Also, we don’t understand the language they speak at all.”
“Lord Liang is really amazing. I see that he’s actually speaking bird language with those people.”
Liang Youxiao had been given an official position by the Emperor, so the people called him Lord Liang..
