509 So this was where it went wrong

Xiao Yuanshi walked into Liu Ru’s room and saw a servant girl kneeling on the ground.

He was quite familiar with this maidservant.

She was the most useful person around Liu Ru.

She looked up and saw Liu Ru’s Red eyes, as if she had just cried, so she asked, “What’s going on?”

Tao Liu’s face was filled with anger and sadness.

She pointed at the maidservant on the ground, “Do you know what she did?

“She actually wanted to harm our daughter.

“She secretly brought back the clothes of the children who were infected with smallpox. Today, she wanted to put them on our daughter when the nanny wasn’t paying attention.

“If I hadn’t happened to see it and felt that something was wrong, our daughter would have been gone.

“The doctor has checked the clothes and confirmed that there is a problem.”

She couldn’t help but cry again. “Woo woo, deputy governor, you have to stand up for us!”

She was really angry and scared at this moment.

After receiving Xiao Hanzheng’s message, she had asked someone to keep an eye on this servant girl.

In fact, she still had some hope in her heart.

After all, she treated this servant girl very well and even paid for her to save her sick father.

She hoped that she would not betray her for a little more money.

But today, Xiao hanzheng’s men found out that the maidservant had secretly brought in a small piece of clothing.

Just as she was about to help the child wear the clothes, she rushed out and pushed her away.

Otherwise, she really didn’t dare to imagine what would have happened to her daughter.

If it were not for Xiao hanzheng’s message, she would not have found out about this, and her daughter would have died of smallpox.

How could these people be so vicious? how could they do such a thing to a baby who was not even a month old?

Her eyes were filled with hatred.

She would never let these people go.

Xiao Yuanshi was stunned.

He didn’t expect this.

Even though he was disappointed that Liu Ru had given birth to a daughter, she was still his child and he couldn’t allow anyone to harm her.

He walked over and sat down, his sharp eyes staring at the maidservant on the ground.

“Speak, who instructed you to do so.”

The head maidservant didn’t expect her madam to find out, and her entire body was trembling.

Xiao Yuanshi snorted coldly, “It seems like you’re being stubborn.”

He instructed the person beside him, “Drag her away for interrogation.”

His personal attendant nodded and immediately dragged him away.

Xiao Yuanshi comforted Liu Ru.

After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, his personal attendant came in with a half-dead servant girl.

“Master, she has confessed.

“Concubine Ge bribed her and made her do this.

“The dress stained with smallpox was also secretly given to her by Concubine Ge.

“As long as she can complete this task, Concubine Ge will give her brother five hundred taels of silver to repair the house and marry a wife.”

The personal attendant didn’t expect Ge Chunru to be so vicious that she would hurt such a young child.

Most importantly, she was only a daughter of the first wife, not a son. Was there a need to do this?

In fact, Xiao Yuanshi had already guessed that Ge Chunru was the only one in the entire deputy governor’s residence who would do such a thing and could even bribe Liu Ru’s maidservant.

He waved his hand.

“Drag her away and beat her to death.”

The head maidservant’s expression changed.

She suddenly crawled in front of Tao Liu and kowtowed to beg for mercy.

Xiao Yuanshi was so disgusted that he wanted her to be dragged away, but Tao Liu spoke first.

“Beating her to death would be too easy on her.

“Governor, I want her to die from smallpox,” Tao Liu said to Xiao Yuanshi.

If these people could infect her child with smallpox, she believed that Xiao Yuanshi’s people would also have a way to infect an adult with smallpox.

Xiao Yuanshi was surprised.

He didn’t expect that the kind and gentle Liu Ru would want to take revenge like this.

However, he didn’t feel disgusted. Instead, he couldn’t help but think of Kong Yuelan.

She had such a weak and easily bullied personality, but she was willing to separate from him for the sake of their three children.

This was what it meant to be as strong as a mother.

Ge Chunru, on the other hand, was willing to sacrifice her child in her stomach in order to scheme against others.

She was so worried about her younger brother that she even neglected the child in her stomach, leading to two miscarriages which destroyed their hope of having a child.

As expected, he was really blind in the past.

He approved this to give her a taste of her own medicine.

He instructed his personal attendant, “Do as madam says.”

The personal attendant immediately led people to hold the maidservant back. “Yes!”

The head maidservant looked at Liu Ru with wide eyes. She didn’t expect madam to be so cruel.

She was wrong.

She was really wrong.

She shouldn’t have listened to her parents’ instigation and harmed others for her brother.

She still wanted to beg for mercy, but her mouth was covered by Xiao Yuanshi’s personal attendant and she was forcefully dragged away.

After they were dragged away, Tao Liu threw herself into Xiao Yuanshi’s arms and cried, ” Governor, you have to help me!

“I have never let Concubine Ge down. After I became the first wife, I have not mistreated her at all. I have even taken care of her food, clothing, and monthly allowance.”

She did this on purpose. She had wanted to make a comparison so that she could find an opportunity to deal with Ge Chunru in the future. Now, she would take advantage of it.

She cried until she was out of breath.

I didn’t expect her to lay her hands on my daughter.

“If anything happens to my daughter, I don’t want to live anymore.”

Xiao Yuanshi patted her back gently. “Okay, I’ll give you an explanation.”

Ge Chunru had really crossed the line this time.

If she couldn’t even tolerate a daughter of the first wife, who else could she tolerate in the future?

After comforting Liu Ru and looking at his daughter, Xiao Yuanshi left.

He was going to find Ge Chunru, but a subordinate came to see him.

He had urgent business to do, so he followed the subordinate out of the mansion.

After three busy days, he finally returned to the residence.

The anger in his heart was not as strong as before.

Therefore, he did not go to Ge Chunru’s courtyard immediately. Instead, he went to the study room.

He was thinking about how to punish Ge Chunru when his eyes fell on a vase not far away.

Then, his expression changed.

He hurriedly got up and walked over to take out the painting scroll. He reached in and touched it.

As expected, the map inside was gone.

He had placed the map in the vase and arranged the size and color of the scrolls.

As long as someone moved them, he would be able to notice.

His face darkened and he let his personal attendant in.

Who has been in my study room these few days? ”

The personal attendant saw that his expression was very bad and thought about it carefully.

“Other than you, the only other person who was alone with you was Concubine Ge three days ago when you were quarreling with her. She even smashed items in the study room.”

Xiao Yuanshi took a deep breath and clenched his hands into fists.

“Very good. She’s really good.”

He had roughly guessed that Ge Chunru had taken the map.

That day, she had deliberately come to quarrel with him and had predicted that he would be annoyed by her and take the initiative to leave first.

She had been with him for so long, so she should have noticed some of his little habits.

Therefore, the spies from Prince Jin’s residence and the previous dynasty only found the secret compartments in his study room, but they didn’t think of searching the vase.

Ge Chunru thought of something else.

No wonder those from the gambling house, who were so powerful, would let Ge Chunyi go.

She even said that she would ask Ge Chunying for money, but the gambling den did not even give him a leeway as Northern City’s deputy governor. How could they give face to the second prince, who was far away in the capital and did not have much power?

He had felt that something was wrong before, so this was where it went wrong.
