Fu Wenzheng was affected badly by the imperial edict.

However, she did not have the guts to oppose it.

She could only accept it with a hopeless look on her face.

At the same time, she also understood what Liang Hengxiao had said before.

She did often say that she didn’t want to be an imperial consort anymore, but she had only said this to threaten Liang Hengxiao.

Now that this was turning into reality, she had a feeling of going crazy and breaking down.

A concubine? She, a dignified imperial consort, had actually become a concubine.

How would those little b * tches outside laugh at her?

And what would Liang Hengshao think of her?

Thus, she could not help but break down and burst into tears.

The servant girls did not dare to go forward to help her.

Otherwise, it would be perfectly normal for her to whip them and slap their mouths.

After crying, her face was filled with hatred and viciousness. “Shi Qingluo, you little b * tch, it was all caused by this little b * tch. I will definitely not let her off.”

The servant girl she brought along when she married braced herself and walked over.

She said in a low voice, “Madam Imperial Consort, be careful, the walls have ears.”

“Pa!” Following that, she received a slap.

Fu Wenzheng sneered and said, “Imperial consort, what imperial consort am I now? Are you mocking me?”

The servant girl immediately knelt down. “I wouldn’t dare!”

Fu Wenzheng took a deep breath. “I will write a letter. Then, you will send it to my father in marquisdom.”

“Yes!” The servant girl replied respectfully.

Fu Wenzheng turned around and wrote a letter.

She did not notice that the servant girl in the corner was looking at her with a pleased expression.

However, she quickly restrained herself.

The news of the third prince’s consort being demoted to a concubine was not only spread among the common people, but also among the various large families.

Many madams and young ladies were laughing at her and silently cursing her in their homes.

It was true that Fu Wenzheng’s personality was originally unlikable.

After becoming a prince’s consort, her eyes had even grown on her head.

She had also bullied many young ladies from aristocratic families.

Of course, while the ladies in the backyard felt relieved, their impression of Shi Qingluo had also deepened.

Now, everyone had a common understanding that Shi Qingluo was not a soft persimmon and was not to be trifled with.

At night, Shi Qingluo was half-crouching on the bed reading a manuscript.

Xiao Hanzheng returned from a trip with an envelope in his hand.

Shi Qingluo put down the book and asked, “What’s this?”

Xiao Hanzheng handed it to her. “It’s a lively scene in the third prince’s residence.”

Shi Qingluo was immediately interested and pulled out sheets of paper from the envelope.

The events written there were even more detailed than the conversation between the third prince and Fu Wenzheng.

After reading the letter, Shi Qingluo stared at Xiao Hanzheng with wide eyes. “Old Xiao, you have your people in the third prince’s residence?”

Xiao Hanzheng sat down. This was the first time he had seen her look so surprised.

He smiled and pinched her face. “Yes!”

“To be precise, Fu Wenzheng has a servant girl by her side. She was arranged to serve her by my people.”

Of course, this was also his order.

Initially, he had thought that when Fu Wenzheng betrayed the third prince, he could stir up some trouble.

Who would have thought that woman would directly bully his little wife, so he decided to up the game.

Shi Qingluo could not help but give him a thumbs up. “Old Xiao, you’re too awesome.”

It had only been a short while, but he actually had people in the third prince’s residence in the capital.

She came closer and asked in a low voice, “How many people do you have?”

Xiao Hanzheng hugged her and whispered in her ear, “About ten. It’s not too many, but they are all ready for key missions.”

He had once taken the initiative to become the emperor’s knife, so he had his own sources of information.

He was also good at doing this.

At the same time, he also knew how to avoid the emperor’s eyes.

Shi Qingluo looked at Xiao Hanzheng with starry eyes. “You are my eternal God!”

A big shot would always be a big shot.

Her little husband was really awesome.

Although he didn’t understand her words, he could understand her roughly. “I am your eternal husband.”

Shi Qingluo smiled and waved her hand. “This doesn’t conflict.”

She sneakily came over and asked, “Are you going to cause trouble in the third prince’s residence?”

Xiao Hanzheng’s eyes were smiling. “Of course, she’s just demoted to a concubine. It’s too easy for her.”

He wanted to make her lose something more important.

Shi Qingluo smiled and beckoned at him. “Come, I’m listening attentively.”

Xiao Hanzheng leaned close to her ear and told her his plan.

After Shi Qingluo heard it, she could not help but give him a thumbs up. “Your idea is brilliant.”

She added, “It’s very bad, but I like it very much!”

Xiao Hanzheng chuckled softly. “I knew you would like it.”

On the other hand, at the general’s residence.

Xiao Yuanshi was sitting in his study in a daze.

What had happened today was something he had never expected.

He had also underestimated his son and that bad wife of his.

He had never thought that the two of them would actually be able to get a handful of old officials in the imperial court to stand up for them.

How much creativity did Shi Qingluo still have in his mind?

As a result, he was becoming more and more difficult to deal with.

He regretted it a little more.

He really shouldn’t have broken off his kinship with them back then.

At this moment, Ge Chunru came in with a bowl of chicken soup.

Xiao Yuanshi came back to his senses and was a little unhappy.

Why did she enter without knocking?

But he didn’t show it on his face.

Ge Chunru walked in with a smile. “General, I’ve made a bowl of chicken soup for you. Drink it while it’s hot.”

Xiao Yuanshi took the chicken soup and drank it. “It’s been hard on you.”

Ge Chunru had a gentle and virtuous look on her face. “How can it be hard to prepare soup for you?”

Xiao Yuanshi pulled her hand and sat down. “Let’s talk.”

Ge Chunru had something to tell him anyway, so she nodded with a smile. “Sure!”

The two of them chatted for a while. Xiao Yuanshi’s frustration dipped slightly.

As Ge Chunru chatted, they talked about her younger brother.

“It isn’t a good idea for Chunyi to stay at home everyday. Do you think we should arrange for him to do something?”

Her younger brother had been very irritable recently, and she wanted to find something for him to do.

So she hinted, “Seeing that Eldest Grandson Xiao went to the northern border to become a county deputy, he didn’t want to be idle either.”

She meant that if he could become a county deputy, his younger brother’s job couldn’t be worse than this.

At the mention of Ge Chunyi, Xiao Yuanshi could not help but think of the emperor’s orders.

He had been thinking about how to deal with Ge Chunyi for the past two days.

He had told the emperor that he would investigate the people mingling with Ge Chunyi for any abnormalities, but in reality, this was just to delay his punishment for a few more days.

Hearing Ge Chunru say this, he immediately had an idea.

Xiao Yuanshi nodded. “I’ll think about it and make the arrangements.”

Ge Chunru was not too happy. She felt that he was being perfunctory.

After thinking about it, she moved closer to him.

Who knew that she would smell a faint orchid fragrance on his body.

Her expression instantly changed.

This was definitely something she had gotten from another woman.

Thinking about the things that she had found out in the past two days, Ge Chunru almost wanted to question Xiao Yuanshi directly.

But she still endured it.

She knew Xiao Yuanshi’s character.

If she made a scene, he would go further away from her instead.

But she also felt particularly uncomfortable in her heart.

She wasn’t interested in being close to him anymore.

Xiao Yuanshi was also thinking about his son and his daughter-in-law at this moment.

He did not notice Ge Chunru’s change in expression and was also not interested.

It also made Ge Chunru feel very uncomfortable.

In the past, as long as she took the initiative to lean on him, he would immediately turn the tables on her.

If there was no one else outside, she would not believe it.

Therefore, after lunch the next day, Ge Chunru brought a few maids and a strong old woman out of the general’s residence.

Mdm Wu happened to see it and immediately ran over to tell Old Lady Xiao.

Therefore, the old Xiao family also hurriedly followed behind secretly.
