Chapter 156: Didn’t expect her to be so ambitious

He did not stay any longer and directly returned to the general’s residence.

Just as he sat down, Ge Chunru came in with reddened eyes.

Xiao Yuanshi was extremely upset to see her like this.

He could not help but frown and ask, “What’s wrong with you this time?”

Especially now that he saw her, he could not help but think of how his eyes were playing tricks on him previously.

He thought that the emperor’s uncle was her and felt a little disgusted.

Ge Chunru also saw that Xiao Yuanshi’s mood was not right, so she changed what she was about to say. “It’s just that I feel uncomfortable to see my younger brother like this.”

Xiao Yuanshi took a deep breath. “Things have already gone that way. No point crying over spilled milk.

“It’s better for you to take care of the child in your belly first.

“When he recovers, I’ll think of a way to arrange a posting for him.”

With his broken leg, it was impossible for him to get a good posting.

Ge Chunru felt a stabbing pain in her heart, but she could only nod. “Then I’ll have to trouble you then, general.”

She asked, “Are you in a bad mood?”

Xiao Yuanshi said, “I ran into some troubles with the Ministry of War.”

He had just joined the Ministry of War as an assistant minister not long ago that gave him real authority.

Although a senior general held a higher rank than an assistant minister, after he handed over his military power in the future, it would only be a part-time job.

Therefore, he fought hard to become an assistant minister in the Ministry of War.

Ge Chunru did not ask further when she heard what he said.

She knew that capable men did not like women to interfere with their official affairs.

Therefore, she asked her servant girl to bring him the freshly prepared soup. “General, thank you for your hard work. This is the chicken soup that I specially ordered the cook to prepare. This bowl is yours.”

Xiao Yuanshi took the chicken soup and lost his appetite even more when he saw the oil in the bowl.

“I drank too much wine just now. I’ll drink it later.” He placed the bowl on the table.

Seeing that she was about to speak, he continued, “I’ll go to the study table to do work. Go back to your room to rest first.”

Ge Chunru could only swallow down her question of asking Xiao Yuanshi if he had found out who caused her brother to suffer. “Then, go ahead first, general.”

After Xiao Yuanshi went to the study room, she brought another pot of chicken soup to Ge Chunyi’s courtyard.

When she pushed the door open, she saw her younger sister’s eyes reddened as she comforted her irascible younger brother.

Ge Chunyi stood up and gracefully bowed. “Elder sister, you’re here!”

Seeing that her younger sister was looking more like a young lady from an aristocratic family with a beautiful and dignified appearance, Ge Chunru’s eyes revealed some relief. “I came to see Chunyi.”

Ge Chunru’s younger sister nodded and didn’t say anything else.

Ge Chunyi half-crouched on the bed and asked with a ferocious expression, “Sister, have you found out who harmed me?”

Ge Chunru’s heart turns sour. “Your brother-in-law is still investigating. We will know soon.”

Ge Chunyi could not wait to take out his sword and chop up Xi Rui. “It must be Xi Rui. There’s no need to investigate further.”

Ge Chunru reached out and pinched his shoulder. “If it really was Xi Rui, don’t worry. I will not let him off.”

No matter who did this to her brother, she would not let the person off.

At this moment, her reserved sister said, “Sister, the second prince wants to take in a second queen. You can let General Xiao send me there.”

Ge Chunru was stunned. “What?”

Her sister looked up at her. “I said, I want to go to the second prince’s residence and be his second queen.”

Ge Chunru looked at her sister with a complicated expression. “Have you thought about it?”

“A second queen is also a concubine. If you want to be the first wife, I will ask your brother-in-law to help you find a good family.”

Ge Chunru truly doted on her younger siblings.

Her sister couldn’t help but laugh.

She raised his hand and pointed to the sky. “If the second prince reaches there one day,” and continued, “then his concubine will not be a concubine anymore.”

She knew deep down that although she had the general’s residence to support her, she was an orphan and didn’t have any strong family background.

How could she marry into a good noble family as the first wife?

She might as well take a gamble.

The emperor’s subsequent queens were also concubines, but who dared to say that they were concubines?

Ge Chunru didn’t expect her to be so ambitious. “But what if he doesn’t reach there in the end?”

Ge Chunyi smiled. “Then I would still be a second queen. I won’t be looked down on by others when I go out.”

She was tired of being looked down upon and unable to mingle with others because of her low social status.

“Didn’t you send me to learn etiquette just so that I could marry into an extraordinary family in the future?”

Otherwise, why was the point of learning etiquette from the aristocratic ladies?

She had not been in the general’s manor before.

Her sister had sent her to the capital to specially learn etiquette for half a year.

Who knew that two days ago, as soon as she returned home, she heard that someone had cut off her brother’s leg.

She suspected that the dandy young master of the public administrator house was behind it.

This ignited all her ambitious desires.

If she held a higher social status, would Xi Rui still dare to make a move on her second elder brother?

If she was powerful, why would she need to beg her brother-in-law to help her investigate and take revenge.

Her sister would also needn’t be afraid of Xiao Hanzheng in that village.

She could destroy him with one hand.

Ge Chunru seemed to have met her sister for the first time, but on second thought, this was good too.

Scheming and having ambitious desires was stronger than an innocent white rabbit.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t even know if she had been eaten up.

If her younger sister would be like Mdm Kong, then she would rather have her to be ruthless.

Ge Chunru asked, “Why do you want to choose his second queen? The crown prince’s second queen is also vacant.”

She really didn’t want her younger sister to marry into an ordinary family, so she let her learn etiquette.

That’s right. Rather than marrying into an ordinary noble family as the first wife, she might as well marry a prince.

If she was lucky, she might even become a princess consort in the future and subsequently give birth to a prince…

In the worst case, when the crown prince was conferred as the king, she would still be a princess consort.

Even she, the general’s wife, would have to greet her.

Ge Chunyi replied, “The second prince’s consort mother is the most favoured one. Her mother’s maternal family is also one of the three high duke public administrator house.

“He was also ambitious in his work. He has already started his career in the imperial court when the crown prince is still studying with the royal teacher.

“And I accidentally discovered that General Xiao had some contacts with the second prince privately.”

“If it’s like what I foresee, General Xiao would probably choose to side with the second prince instead of the crown prince in the future, right?

“Then why not tie up our interests more thoroughly? Sending me to be his second queen would be the best option.”

Her brother-in-law had military power and was also the assistant minister of the Ministry of War. The second prince definitely would want to rope him in.

Moreover, with her beauty and tactics, she did not believe that the second prince’s heart wouldn’t move.

What she lacked was having an aricorstatic family background. Only her brother-in-law could make her the second queen.

If she sent herself to the second prince’s doorstep, she wasn’t willing to be a normal concubine.

Besides, sending herself to the second prince meant that he might cherish her less.

She had already thought of how to attract the second prince’s attention and make him like her.

She added, “As long as I get the second prince’s pamper, is it difficult to target a dandy like Xi Rui?”

Ge Chunyi calmed down and looked at Ge Chunru. “Sister, I think our younger sister’s decision is very good. Please help her.”

He must take revenge.

Ge Chunru thought for a moment before nodding. “Alright, I’ll let the general know in the next few days.”

Her sister was smarter than she thought.

She had even discovered that the general and the second prince had a private relationship.

With her personality, it was indeed worthy to fight for it.

Her brother’s future was already ruined.

If her sister could subsequently ascend to the throne, she and her brother would benefit too
