Chapter 355: Divorced Mdm Niu

If they brought the formula for making glass to the northern border, it would be a disaster.

King Jin would definitely be eyeing it covetously.

But if they didn’t use the formula there, it would be too much of a waste.

Then, they might as well give it to the emperor to generate income for the national treasury.

Regardless of whether it was for tackling King Jin or the Ge Kingdom subsequently, this would allow Daliang to deal with it more powerfully.

If they offered the formula these few days, at most King Jin would feel regretful.

Otherwise, when King Jin received news from Zhuo Jun that they had the intention to cross over, he would be suspicious if they offered the formula.

Xiao Hanzheng also shared the same concern with his little wife.

Shi Qingluo smiled and said, “You are really thoughtful.”

She asked, “Are you going to enter the palace to give it to them, or how do you want to do it?”

Xiao Hanzheng smiled and said, “It’s better if you give it to them.

“Just say that your master suddenly gave you the formula in your dream.

“Then you thought about the internal and external problems that Daliang is facing.

“Also, King Jin was actually daring to ask a woman to ruin my reputation.

“Hence, you offered the formula to the emperor, requesting him to generate more revenue to strengthen the army and win King Jin.”

It sounded like his wife was zealous.

The emperor should be aware that it was mainly because his wife could not stand King Jin anymore, so the old immortal master gave her this formula in her dream.

As for whether the emperor believed it or not, that was none of their business.

This also went in line with his wife’s personality.

Hence, the emperor would not doubt his wife’s intentions.

Of course, no matter what the motive was, as long as it was good for the country, the emperor would remember his wife’s kindness.

There was also no need to be afraid that his wife would have any wicked thoughts.

There was no other way.

When dealing with the emperor, it was better to be more careful.

Shi Qingluo realized that the dealings in the imperial court were indeed filled with turns and twirls.

Her young husband was obviously very good at it.

“Alright, then I’ll listen to you.

“But this is an excuse to the emperor. What about to the outsiders?”

If she were to say this to the outside world, it would expose Zhuo Jun.

She said regretfully, “It’s a pity that your scumbag father and Ge Chunru went to the northern border. Otherwise, I could grab some wool from their sheep skin.”

Xiao Hanzheng didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

“If my scumbag father knew about this, he would probably be very happy that he would run very fast.”

His scumbag father would want to cry when he met his little wife.

Shi Qingluo chuckled. “That’s true. He was lucky this time and escaped early.

“Then why don’t we give your mother a decree, or ask the emperor to give her a status that is decent but has no real power?

“In any case, this is not of much use to the emperor, so it won’t hurt to give it out.

“But it can give your mother some protection, and in the future, it will be easier for your little sister to find a good family.

“It can also make your scumbag father regret it, and make Ge Chunru be extremely jealous and envious.”

After they offered the recipe, the emperor had to give a reward.

It did not seem appropriate to ask for other things, so it was not bad to help her mother-in-law to get an imperial decree.

Xiao Hanzheng’s heart warmed as his little wife thought of his mother.

Thinking about it, it was feasible.

She could even deliberately act out with the emperor.

When his little wife gave such a good formula, the emperor gave his mother a proclamation or a status without real power and that was all.

The emperor wouldn’t give her any actual benefits either.

Or, he could be promoted to a higher official rank, or transferred to a better position.

They were aggrieved, so when Zhuo Jun came to persuade them, they were tempted.

King Jin would definitely get someone to send them to the northern border to be bribed when they wavered.

He also told Shi Qingluo about this idea.

Shi Qingluo flicked her finger. “This is good. It can also make King Jin believe that we are tempted so that he can poach us.”

Otherwise, they would only be relying on Zhuo Jun’s persuasion.

As long as they were not stupid, they would not seek refuge with King Jin.

With this as a foreshadowing, King Jin, who was a narrow-minded person, would begin to believe it as he relooked into the matter.

He might not believe in it much.

At least, he would not be so deeply suspicious.

Xiao Hanzheng chuckled. “My wife is really smart.”

He was thinking the same way.

He felt that it was worth it to exchange a decree for his mother.

Besides, although it was only to exchange an imperial decree, it could gain the emperor’s liking, which was better.

But in King Jin’s eyes, it was definitely a loss.

At this moment, a dull and fierce cry was heard from Dumby, followed by the cries from a flock of geese.

Shi Qingluo and Xiao Hanzheng immediately looked over and saw that as Xiao Hanzheng’s man had climbed over the wall, he was caught by Dumby and his harem.

This person’s martial arts were not bad, but he was still chased by a group of geese.

Shi Qingluo hurriedly shouted, “My geese, he is one of our people. Don’t bite.”

Dumby finally stopped and glanced at that person arrogantly.

Only then did he raise his head and puffed out his chest as he ran over to Shi Qingluo to claim credit.

That person thought to himself, this goose must have turned into a spirit.

He actually saw disdain in his eyes.

It had to be said that this goose’s combat strength was too strong.

If he were to face such a group of geese alone, even if he used his martial arts skills, he would only be able to run away.

He lamented in his heart that Madam was really not an ordinary person.

Even the geese she raised were so powerful.

Shi Qingluo grabbed a handful of goose food and fed it to Dumby and the rest of the geese.

She then patted his head to show that he had done a good job.

Her goose guarding the house was indeed powerful.

She had not seen Dumby wrongly back then.

Xiao Hanzheng’s man walked over and took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to him.

“Master, it’s a letter from the northern border.”

Xiao Hanzheng took it. “Uh, you can go down first.”

The man retreated under the surveillance of a flock of geese.

It was the first time he realized that the geese were so fierce.

No wonder Madam wanted a flock of geese to guard the house.

They were indeed more responsible and effective than the servant boys.

Xiao Hanzheng tore open the letter and read it.

After reading it, he looked at Shi Qingluo and said, “Third Son Shi divorced Mdm Niu.”

Shi Qingluo was stunned. “Ah, he really divorced Mdm Niu?

“Did he provide a reason why?”

She always felt that Third Son Shi would not be so displeased with Mdm Niu after they arrived at the northern border and then divorced her.

After all, they had been married for so many years.

Xiao Hanzheng replied, “A deputy general took a fancy to Second Granddaughter Shi, and Mdm Niu wanted to give her away as a concubine.

“And that deputy general was already over forty years old. Third Son Shi did not agree, and she actually secretly wanted to send her to be a concubine.”

“Then, Third Granddaughter Shi reported it, and she was caught red-handed by Third Son Shi.

“Seeing that Mdm Niu refused to repent and still acted so righteously, Third Son Shi divorced her in a fit of anger.”

Xiao Hanzheng continued, “Mdm Niu cried and begged, but Third Son Shi did not agree to forgive her.

“It just so happened that Third Son Shi had already mingled well with Eldest Grandson Xiao and the others, so Eldest Grandson Xiao helped him write the divorce papers.

“Mdm Niu secretly hated him.

“She did not dare to offend Third Son Shi and Eldest Grandson Xiao, so she hated Third Granddaughter Shi, who reported the news.

“Then, she colluded with human traffickers to kidnap Third Daughter Shi and sell her.

“Fortunately, they discovered her in time.

“Third Son Shi had expanded his networking quite extensively in the county, so he saved her before she was sent to the brothel in the neighboring county.

“Mdm Niu also went over Third Son Shi’s bottom line, so he got Eldest Grandson Xiao to send her to the mine and cook for the miners.

“Coincidentally, the mine that Mdm Niu was sent to was the same mine that Ge Chunyi went to.”

Shi Qingluo did not expect Mdm Niu to do such a crazy thing again.

Although Second Daughter Shi and Third Daughter Shi did not have a good relationship with the Shengyuan and would snatch her things, they were brainwashed by Mdm Niu to the extent that they despised Shengyuan.

However, they did not do anything worse.

Back then, when Mdm Niu wanted to send Shengyuan to the Wu family, these two sisters did not coax and encourage them.

Therefore, although Shi Qingluo did not like them and was also unwilling to pay attention to them, she would not wish for these two teenage girls, one to be married to an old man and the other to be sold to a brothel.
