After Breaking Off My Marriage, I Became A Powerful Minister's Treasure
436 Naturally wouldnât let the matter evolve as she wished
Xiao Hanzheng could not help but frown after hearing this.
âI was wondering why Liang Mingmin would come to such a remote place like Heyang County. She doesnât have a good relationship with her brother, Liang Mingyu, who is the son of a concubine. It turns out that Ge Chunru is the one behind this.â
Shi Qingluo laughed coldly. âEven though Little Lady Ge has been demoted to a concubine, she still isnât laying low. Sheâs been trying to find trouble for us.
âIf thatâs the case, then donât blame us for being impolite.
âYour scumbag father no longer dotes on her. She has lost her rights after becoming a concubine. In the deputy governorâs mansion, only the old lady would teach her a lesson. Itâs too easy on her.
âLetâs do something,â
Since she wasnât laying low, they would let her be overwhelmed by it.
Xiao Hanzheng was also rather disgusted by this matter. He really hated seeing Liang Mingmin.
Moreover, it would be quite troublesome if he were to be entangled again.
Even though he had already found a way to counter Liang Mingmin and Zhuo Zheng, he did not want to just let it go after Little Lady Geâs instigation.
âThen letâs start with her brother,â he said after some thought.
âMy men found out that Ge Chunyi has been addicted to drinking and gambling recently. Heâs only gambling a little now, so letâs make him gamble more.
âWhen he loses all the money he had, he will naturally go to find Little Lady Ge to ask for it.
âItâs best if he accumulate a large gambling debt and lets Little Lady Ge pay it back.
âIn order to help her brother, Little Lady Ge could only continue to think of ways to poach those from the generalâs office.
âIâll make sure that my scumbag father will completely lose all patience with her. In the end, heâll drive her out of the Deputy Governorâs Office when he canât bear it anymore.â
His eyes turned cold and he squinted. âIâll see how she can rely on her younger brother and sister.â
Shi Qingluo chuckled, âWeâve thought of the same thing again.
âLittle Lady Ge and your scumbag father previously used this method to deal with Eldest Grandson Xiao. Now, itâs just right for her brother to get his retribution.â
Ge Chunyi was already addicted to gambling. He was not a good person, so they did not feel guilty when they set him up.
âOf course,â Xiao Hanzheng chuckled and said, âWeâre not in the same family so we donât have to get along well.
âIâll make the arrangements tomorrow.â
Shi Qingluo nodded. âAlright!â
She found that Little Lady Ge liked to act.
When she returned to Heyang County, she had almost forgotten about Little Lady Geâs existence. She thought that it was enough to have the old lady to handle her at any time.
Who would have thought that even like this, Little Lady Ge still wanted to scheme against them, so she had to suffer a backlash.
It was very likely that she wanted Princess Zhen to take a fancy to her young husband and then try to take him away from her.
If Little Lady Ge could teach her a lesson, she would probably wake up laughing even in her dreams.
However, they naturally wouldnât let the matter evolve as she wished.
Shi Qingluo wrote a letter to the old lady, telling her not to hold back and to handle Ge Chunru well every day.
Then, she came up with an idea for Eldest Grandson Xiaoâs future and on how the old Xiao family would get that scumbag dad to help him arrange a good position in Northern City.
It was a way to repay the old lady for sending her insider information.
After that, she ordered her people to send it to Northern City at top speed.
As for Princess Zhen, who was on her way to Heyang County, Shi Qingluo was not afraid of her. She would always be able to find a way to deal with her.
As long as she dared to find trouble, she would dare to deal with it.
At the same time, she could also save innocent men and families who would be harmed by Princess Zhen in the future.
Heyang County was in a temporary state of peace, but it was the prelude to a storm.

The carts of canned food arrived in the capital and headed in different directions.
It did not attract anyoneâs attention.
After all, there were many carriages coming and going every day.
The emperor in the palace was the first to receive canned gifts from Xiao Hanzheng and his wife.
Xiao Hanzheng had written in the booklet what canned food was and how to preserve and eat it.
Now that the canned food had arrived, the emperor was also very curious.
Therefore, he called the crown prince over to taste the canned meat together.
The crown prince quickly rushed over.
âHave a seat first,â the emperor said with a smile.
Then, he ordered his men to open the can.
The two of them heard a âpfftâ sound.
Then, a fragrant smell came out of the jar.
The emperor then ordered someone to bring over a small iron honeycomb coal stove to heat it up.
He directly placed the jar on the fire.
Not long after, the rich fragrance lingered around the tip of the emperorâs and crown princeâs noses.
After heating it and the eunuch appointed as the poison tester tried it, he served two bowls of mutton from the jar and presented them to the emperor and crown prince.
He then continued to heat up the other canned meat.
The emperor tasted a piece. âThis braised mutton is really not bad.â
No wonder so many people liked this can of food so soon after it was made.
The crown prince also took a bite and couldnât help but nod. âItâs indeed delicious.
âQingluo can really think of anything.
âThe taste isnât the most fascinating part. The key is that it didnât go bad after being left there for so long.â
The emperor nodded. âPreviously, Shi Qingluo said that this can could be stored for at least half a year without spoiling. I was still a little skeptical.
âThis batch of canned food took more than a month to transport from Heyang County to the capital. I believe it now.â
The crown prince also felt that it was amazing. He did not know how Shi Qingluo had done it.
He had a feeling that the reason why it could be sealed and not go bad might be related to the âpfftâ sound when he opened the can just now.
If Shi Qingluo knew what he was thinking, she would definitely praise him.
Not only was the crown prince smart, but he was also observant.
Then the emperor took out a letter and handed it to the crown prince.
âTake a look. This is written by Xiao Hanzheng. I think itâs very good.â
The crown prince took the letter and opened it to read. The more he read, the more shocked he became.
âXiao Hanzheng and his wife suggest that you build a few large canned food factories at the northern border to harvest and slaughter sheep from the grasslands.
âThe meat will be used to make canned food, the sheepâs oil will be used to make soap, scented soap, and candles, and the wool will be used to weave goods. Then, we will use this to slowly invade the Ge Kingdom.
âShe also suggests that you build more tea gardens and export tea and salt to the Ge Kingdom.
âLet them rely more and more on Daliang.
âIf the Ge Kingdom wants to go to war with us one day, weâll importing their sheep and impose so-called economic sanctions on them. This is really a new idea.â
After the crown prince read it, he also felt that this was a very good idea.
If the Ge Kingdomâs herdsmen were no longer so poor and did not starve in winter, the ruthless burning, killing, and plundering would naturally gradually fade.
He did not want Daliang to go to war even more.
If the royal family of the Ge Kingdom insisted on doing things their own way, they would lose their peopleâs support.
This could even stir up internal strife between a few imperial family tribes.
In the past, he had only thought about how he would deal with the Ge Kingdom if he became the emperor.
However, after much thought, at most he could strengthen the border defense line and the army.
If the Ge Kingdom dared to make a move, they would fight back.
They couldnât be as weak as the previous dynasty, and it was even more impossible for them to send resources to the Ge Kingdom every year in order to seek peace.
He had never thought that he could use such a method to erode the economy.
The emperor chuckled. âThis idea was most likely suggested by Shi Qingluo. Xiao Hanzheng perfected it.â
This couple complemented each other. Together, they were flawless.
