On the other hand, Xiao Hanzheng came to the Taoist temple to pick up Shi Qingluo and the others.

As soon as he entered and sat down, he saw his sister’s eyes filled with admiration and awe as she told them about what had happened to them previously.

After she finished speaking, Xiao Baili let the two of them have some personal space and went to look for Mother Xiao.

Xiao Hanzheng was stunned for a moment before he looked at Shi Qingluo and laughed dejectedly. “So you were the one who created the womanizer!”

Shi Qingluo blinked, “How come you know about the womanizer?”

Xiao Hanzheng smiled, “On my way here, I heard many people say that a womanizer appeared in the forest of peach trees at the back of the mountain.

“He specifically wanted to do bad things to women and girls, but was chased away.

“This even alerted the government. The government has already sent people here to catch the womanizer.”

Recently, as they were waiting for the results of the countryside examination, many examinees would come here to see the peach blossoming whenever they had nothing to do.

There were also some madams and young ladies from the large clans in the prefecture.

Hence, the government took this matter very seriously.

Previously, when he heard the rumors, he felt that something was amiss.

Which womanizer would publicly call himself a “womanizer”in broad daylight? Unless his brain was damaged.

He did not expect that it was caused by his little wife.

Shi Qingluo couldn’t help but laugh out loud. “I wonder if Qi Yiyang will be so angry that he wants to vomit blood and won’t dare to go out for the next few days.”

Xiao Hanzheng naturally knew about Qi Yiyang, and the smile in his eyes grew thicker. “He loves his face very much. There’s a high chance that he will.”

How could his wife be so bad!

Shi Qingluo said, “Serves him right. who asked him to have ill-intentions on Baili?”

She curled her lips again. “He still wants to take Baili as his concubine. Doesn’t he look like a weakling?”

Xiao Hanzheng smiled. “Naturally, we can’t let him have his way.

“But it’s highly likely that he thought of it on the spur of the moment.”

Qi Yiyang was not someone who would force himself just to rope them in.

He must have heard something and then became interested when he saw his sister.

That was why he took the initiative to bring her into the manor.

Shi Qingluo also reacted after hearing that. “You mean that the hero who saved the damsel in distress of the other young master might have something to do with them?”

Xiao Hanzheng replied, “It should be related to the second prince.

“I found out that after the second prince had two secret meetings with my scumbag father, Ge Chunru took the initiative to walk around frequently with the family of a fourth-rank military affairs director.

“Ge Chunru must have come up with the terrible idea of a hero saving the damsel in distress.

“The young master who jumped out earlier should be from that Zheng family.”

Shi Qingluo nodded. “This kind of old-fashioned idea without a structure seems to be Ge Chunru’s doing.”

However, although it was old-fashioned, in ancient times, saving the damsel in distress would really trap many women who were saved in such heroic moments.

After all, there were few opportunities to get in touch with men outside of their courtyards, and they couldn’t fall in love freely.

In particular, many such plots in the storybook became a talking point eventually.

Fortunately, Baili was no longer that silly and sweet girl she used to be.

If she was still weak and easy to bully, she might have lost her heart when she was suddenly saved by a handsome young master.

She narrowed her eyes. “That woman definitely doesn’t have any good intentions.

“Is there something wrong with this young master of the Zheng Family?”

Xiao Hanzheng nodded. “The young master of the Zheng family likes a woman from a brothel, so he takes in a wife to deal with his family’s pressure. His real purpose is to take in concubines.”

In his previous life, the reason why the young master of a fourth-rank official left an impression on him was that when Zheng Tongfeng’s wife was killed, her maternal family directly reported it to the emperor.

“If it weren’t for the incident with Baili, Zheng Tongfeng would have married the daughter of a sixth-rank official at the request of his parents.

“Not long after his official wife married into the Zheng family, he would take in the true love that was already pregnant and directly get a bastard eldest son.

“In order for the concubine’s eldest son to become the legitimate eldest son, Zheng Tongfeng and his concubine would even cause the death of the pregnant first wife.

“However, they did not expect that although that woman’s father was only a sixth-grade official, he doted on his daughter very much.

“During the morning court, he risked his life to report the matter to the emperor.

“That was why the Zheng family did not succeed.

“They were also severely punished by the emperor.”

He was also present at court at that time.

This matter was heinous, so when that woman’s mother surfaced this to court, the capital had been discussing this matter for several days.

Because his little wife knew that he had a past life, he said it very bluntly.

Shi Qingluo was furious when she heard it. “Ge Chunru and the Zheng family are really too much.”

Ge Chunru, this woman, was simply vicious to the extreme.

Previously, she had asked Xing Hong to incite the Xiao family to sell Bai Li to the Wu family for marriage.

She didn’t succeed and actually came up with such an idea.

On the surface, Baili seemed to enjoy a good deal of marrying the legitimate son of a fourth-rank official despite her status, but how could outsiders have thought that the Zheng family had such a disgusting and dirty side.

The Zheng family must have known that Zheng Tongfeng was infatuated with a brothel girl outside, but it was impossible for them to let him marry her.

Thus, under Ge Chunru’s instigation, the two hands finally clapped together.

Not only did they rope in her husband, they also felt that an elementary scholar was easy to handle.

They felt that even if Zheng Tongfeng married Baili in the future and got a concubine he truly loved back home, the Zheng family would still be able to suppress it.

Just as her husband said, in his previous life, the Zheng family had married Zheng Tongfeng to a woman of a much lower status just because she was easy to handle.

“This Zheng family’s actions are too disgusting. We must not let them succeed.”

Even if she did not succeed in scheming against Baili, she was not prepared to let it go especially since it might involve an innocent woman.

Since she knew about it, she could not sit idly by.

Xiao Hanzheng nodded. “Indeed, we can’t let Zheng Tongfeng and the Zheng family off.”

They had already schemed against them. Did they really think that they were easy to deal with?

The more Shi Qingluo thought about it, the angrier she became. “No, I can’t let this matter go when it comes to Ge Chunru.”

Every time, it was that woman who took the initiative to harm them.

Even though they had retaliated, if she did not take the initiative to harm Ge Chunru this time, she would feel bad for herself.

Although Xiao Hanzheng did not look as angry as Shi Qingluo, deep down, he was furious.

After all, he had personally experienced his sister being sabotaged by Ge Chunru.

“Then we don’t have to let this matter go.”

He said, “Let’s take the initiative to attack.”

Shi Qingluo nodded. “I’ll think of how to deal with her.”

After a while, she snapped her fingers. “Got it.

“Ge Chunru, that bad woman, wants to harm Baili’s marriage and her future by scheming against her clean reputation.

“Since that’s the case, let’s also take away Ge Chunru’s clean reputation.”

Ge Chunru’s reputation in the capital had long been tarnished.

Everyone knew that she disrespected her mother-in-law, schemed against her husband, and plotted against his first wife’s biological children.

Then, let’s give her another opportunity to steer the boat further.

“Since she thinks so highly of Zheng Tongfeng, we can help them.”

How exciting it was for the son of a fourth-rank official to boldly have a personal meet up with a general’s wife.

It was impossible for the daughter of a good family to marry someone in the Zheng family again.

After that, Zheng Tongfeng would be fine marrying the concubine he truly loved and trapped her.

At the same time, he could also annoy Xiao Hanzheng’s scumbag father.

Seeing Ge Chunru, his wife who had lost her innocence, even if it was just her reputation, let’s see if he could continue to love her so much.
