After Breaking Off My Marriage, I Became A Powerful Minister's Treasure
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
The next day, Xiao Yuanshi asked his trusted aide to bring the marriage documents to the capital, which stated that his wife would be demoted to a concubine and Liu Ru would be his wife.
After changing the marriage documents, Liu Ru would be recognized as Xiao Yuanshiâs official wife.
Liu Ru and Ge Chunru both knew about this.
Ge Chunru felt like the sky was falling down.
Xiao Yuanshi was really heartless.
Not only did he demote her to a concubine in the deputy governorâs office, but he also sent someone to the capital to change the marriage documents.
In this way, her status as a concubine could not be changed.
Ge Chunruâs eyes were red and swollen as she sat in a daze.
She had never thought that one day, she would be the one to receive the retribution for what she had done to Mdm Kong.
Ge Chunyi knocked on the door and walked in with Mdm Niu.
Seeing Ge Chunru like this, Ge Chunyi could not help but frown.
His sister was becoming more and more disappointing.
She had actually failed so terribly and had even implicated them.
He asked in a concerned tone, âSister, are you okay?â
Ge Chunru came back to her senses and forced a smile. âIâm fine. Why are you guys here?â she asked.
Ge Chunyi sighed. âWe are here to bid you farewell.â
Ge Chunru was stunned. âWhat farewell? â
âJust now, the butler came to tell me that the deputy governorâs office does not keep idle people. He wants us to move out,â Ge Chunyi replied.
When this was brought up, she became angry.
Xiao Yuanshi had really gone too far.
After causing him to be in this state, he actually wanted to chase them away.
âWhat? Xiao Yuanshi canât even let you stay here?â
Could it be that the deputy governorâs office couldnât even afford to support two more people? Xiao Yuanshi had really gone too far.
Ge Chunyi sighed. âMy brother-in-law is probably still angry. Sister, why donât you go and coax him again?â
He didnât want to leave the deputy governorâs office at all, so he could only rely on his sister.
Ge Chunru panicked. She had already become a concubine.
What would she do if her brother was chased away?
Hence, she immediately got up and wanted to leave the courtyard, but she was stopped by the guards.
âThe deputy governor has ordered that Concubine Ge is not allowed to leave the courtyard for the time being,â one of them said expressionlessly.
Ge Chunru didnât expect that Xiao Yuanshi would be so cruel.
Not only did he demote her to a concubine, but he also chased her brother away and grounded her.
She clenched her fists.
âGo and report that I want to see your deputy governor.
The guard thought for a moment and nodded. â Concubine Ge, please wait a moment.â
After saying that, he went to Xiao Yuanshiâs courtyard to pass the message.
Ge Chunru felt very uncomfortable when she was called Concubine Ge twice.
She also felt that the people in the courtyard were looking at her as if they were watching a joke.
If it wasnât for Xiao Yuanshi wanting to drive her brother away, she wouldnât have left the house in the near future.
The guard quickly returned.
âThe deputy governor said he has something to do and has no time to see you.â
He then looked at Ge Chunyi.
âThe deputy governor said that Young Master Geâs surname is GE, after all. It is not appropriate for him to live in the Xiao family, so he must move out within five days.
âOtherwise, the butler will help Young Master Ge move it.â
Ge Chunruâs face turned red when she heard this. She was completely angry and embarrassed.
Ge Chunyi also felt very embarrassed.
He didnât expect his sister to be so unfavored by Xiao Yuanshi.
He also grumbled that his sister was always acting pretentious and didnât think of lowering her status to coax Xiao Yuanshi.
It seemed that they could only leave the deputy governorâs office.
Mdm Niu was also very unhappy.
She had climbed onto a big tree after much difficulty.
Who would have thought that Ge Chunru would be so fantastic?
She had turned from a well-to-do deputy governorâs wife into an inferior concubine.
Now, they had even been chased away by Xiao Yuanshi.
Mdm Niu knew that Xiao Yuanshi would not change his mind, so she hinted to Ge Chunyi.
Ge Chunyi could only suppress his unhappiness and go up to comfort Ge Chunru.
Both openly and secretly, he was complaining and was worried about how they were going to live after leaving the deputy governorâs office.
Ge Chunru also knew that Xiao Yuanshi had made up his mind this time.
She couldnât see him or leave the courtyard.
She had no other choice.
She still had 13,000 taels of silver in her private stash.
After thinking about it, she kept 3,000 for herself and gave Ge Chunyi 10,000 taels.
She asked him to find a good courtyard to live in and buy a few servants to serve him.
She even consoled Ge Chunyi, telling him that when Xiao Yuanshiâs anger had subsided, she would have a peaceful talk with him and ask him to arrange him a job.
Ge Chunyi did not have much hope for a job.
Moreover, ever since he went to the mines, he had suffered a lot of blows.
He had also seen the real world.
He had a broken leg, how could he have any future.
He wanted to do what Mdm Niu had said, to enjoy the rest of his life.
Because of this, he was a little dissatisfied with his sister only giving him 10,000 taels.
After all, he knew that his elder sister had given his younger sister in the capital 40,000 taels of silver.
However, for the sake of a long-term plan, Ge Chunyi not only accepted the 10,000 taels, but also expressed his gratitude to Ge Chunru, as if he would be her support in the future.
Ge Chunruâs heart was warmed by Ge Chunyiâs coaxing.
Indeed, only her younger brother and sister were reliable.
Hence, she gave Ge Chunyi some gold and silver jewelry that she had bought in Northern City.
He could sell it, buy a few shops, and then rent them out to collect rent every month.
Naturally, Ge Chunyi took it while feeling grateful.
Mdm Niuâs eyes brightened. Although Ge Chunru had fallen out of favor, she was still a fat sheep.
As long as Ge Chunru stayed in the deputy governorâs office, they could sit and enjoy the fruits of someone elseâs labor.
10,000 taels of silver and such expensive gold and silver jewelry.
She had never seen anything like this in her life.
After sitting for a while, Ge Chunyi and Mdm Niu left with the money and jewelry.
The two of them went to the slave shop and were about to buy a courtyard and some servants.
When the time came, the butler wouldnât have to chase them away.
They would move away to avoid further embarrassment.
Xiao Yuanshi found out about this matter very soon, and he felt that he had done the right thing.
If Ge Chunru continued to be the head of the family, just like his mother had said, the family would have to change its surname to Ge.
Shi Qingluo also found out about this matter very quickly.
She was just about to go shopping with Xi Rong.
Xi Rong was at a little loss for words. âWhat do you think Ge Chunru was thinking?
âSheâs already been demoted to a concubine. She will receive a significant decrease in food and clothing in the future, and she wonât be able to manage the Xiao familyâs private property. She actually gave more than half of her savings to her brother.â
The key was that Ge Chunyi didnât seem to be reliable.
Shi Qingluo was also rather lost for words, âSheâs probably helping her brother out of habit.â
She couldnât help but want to light a candle for that scumbag father.
The true love he met was actually overly passionate to help her little brother. Even in this state, she still helped him.
She shrugged her shoulders. âShe will have more opportunities to cry in the future. â
She really could not sympathize with Ge Chunru.
Other than the fact that he was so vicious, the most important thing was that she asked for it.
Xi Rong nodded. â I think so too. â
âLetâs go, â she said, holding Shi Qingluoâs arm. âLetâs go out and take a look around Northern City. Itâs my first time here too. â
Shi Qingluo also put Ge Chunruâs matter aside.
Ge Chunru would most likely be devoured by that ungrateful wolf in the future.
Besides, Mdm Niu was not easy to deal with.
She felt that Ge Chunru would be digging her own grave after this.
Of course, she still had to keep an eye on her.
After all, this woman was a venomous snake. Who knew if she would suddenly want to bite others from behind?
After passing the news very subtly, Shi Qingluo and Xi Rong went out to shop.
