Xiao Yuanshi naturally did not want them to follow him.

He also mentioned a lot of benefits of staying in North City, but they were all decisively rejected by Old Madam Han and Old Master Han.

Old Madam Xiao was impatient to talk to this beast anymore.

“Second Brother, you’re not being filial to us. You’re harming us,” she suddenly cried.

“As parents, how can we abandon our own son? Isn’t that worse than a beast?”

Xiao Yuanshi was speechless. He felt that he was being implicated.

His mother was too bad at talking.

Just as he was about to speak, the old lady said, “If this gets out, your father and I will be scolded.”

“If you still have any filial piety, let us go back and take good care of you.”

“Otherwise, we will go to the capital to report you for being unfilial and ask the Emperor to take back your title.”

This was what Shi Qingluo had taught her before she left the silver tavern.

Since they couldn’t get it anyway, the second son, this b*stard, didn’t need the title.

Xiao Yuanshi widened his eyes.

He didn’t know what had gotten into the Old Madam and Old Master’s heads when they suddenly made up their minds to follow him back to Nanxi County. Didn’t they agree to stay in North City? Why did they change their minds?

Now, he really couldn’t refuse anymore.

He knew that the old couple would not wake up early without benefits. If he did not agree, they might really run to the capital to complain.

He felt that this was not an idea that the Old Madam could come up with.

Suddenly, he had a guess. “Mother, did you meet Shi Qingluo today?”

When Old Madam Xiao heard his question, her eyes flickered. “No, what’s wrong?”

Xiao Yuanshi kept staring at the old lady. Seeing her like this, he guessed that she must have seen Shi Qingluo.

Because of this, he was furious. That bad daughter-in-law was married by his son to jinx him.

It took him a long time to think of a way to convince the Xiao family not to follow him back to Nanxi County.

He had already thought it through. It was a pity that no one would inherit this title.

When he returned to Nanxi County, he would find a suitable orphan to adopt.

As long as he had the title and his property, he believed that his adopted child would be filial to him.

Therefore, he couldn’t let the old Xiao Family follow him and ruin things.

But looking at the old lady’s attitude now, she must have been persuaded by Shi Qingluo to follow him.

How could he be so unlucky to have such a good family and such a bad wife?

Xiao Yuanshi suddenly felt a little dejected. “Alright, do as you wish.”

If it was Shi Qingluo’s idea and he did not agree, then the bad daughter-in-law would definitely bring the old couple to the Emperor.

Although he no longer had any power, he could at least keep his face after returning to Nanxi County with this title.

When Old Madam Han saw that he had compromised, she thought that Shi Qingluo was indeed the best. She knew exactly where the Second Brother’s seven inches were and accurately pinched them.

She had decided that when she returned to Nanxi County, she would ask Dalang to write to Xiao Hanzheng and his wife often, and Shi Qingluo would give them some advice.

Obviously, in the old lady’s heart, Shi Qingluo, the granddaughter-in-law who had broken off her marriage, was more reliable than her own son.

If Xiao Yuanshi knew what she was thinking, he would definitely vomit blood.

How could Shi Qingluo be so kind? The old lady and the others had their brains eaten by pigs.

The old lady did not continue to pester him and left with the old man.

Xiao Yuanshi sent someone to investigate and found out that the old lady had met Shi Qingluo at the silver tavern.

He was really depressed. Xiao Hanzheng and his family were going to the capital in three days and they had to meet at this time.

But even if Shi Qingluo instigated Old Madam and the others, he could not change it.

The depression he felt previously had yet to subside. The next day, the old lady looked for Xiao Yuanshi again and asked him to leave Liu Ru and her daughter in North City.

Xiao Yuanshi was naturally unwilling. No matter what, this was his wife and daughter. How could they stay in North City?

Although he did not value his daughter, she was his last bloodline.

However, the old lady kept making a fuss and refused to let him bring the two of them back.

Tao Liu also took the opportunity to cry.

The general meaning was that with the old lady and the others following her back to Nanxi County, she did not want to bring her daughter back. Otherwise, she was afraid that her daughter would be bullied in the future.

She then coaxed Xiao Yuanshi, saying that if they stayed in North City, they could also leave a way out for him.

If he did not want to stay in Nanxi County in the future, he could still stay in North City under the pretext of visiting the mother and daughter. This way, he believed that the Emperor would not say anything.

Xiao Yuanshi felt that it made sense.

Moreover, he was really annoyed by his mother. If he went to Nanxi County, he would definitely be killed.

If he really couldn’t take it in Nanxi County, he would find an excuse to return to North City.

Thus, he agreed and even gave the best house under his name to Tao Liu and her son.

He also gave the mother and daughter two manors and hundreds of acres of land. He also gave them three shops in North City.

In the end, he even deposited ten thousand taels of silver in the bank and gave Tao Liu a receipt to withdraw the silver.

However, he emphasized that it was best for her not to use this money so that it could be used as a dowry for her daughter in the future.

He was actually leaving a way out for himself, but he couldn’t tell Tao Liu about it.

This was a portion of the wealth he had accumulated in North City when he was the vice governor.

He would sell the rest for silver notes and bring them to Nanxi County to rebuild his business.

Tao Liu was relieved and grateful to Xiao Hanzheng and Shi Qingluo.

If it were not for the Old Madam’s pestering and Xiao Hanzheng’s teaching, Xiao Yuanshi would not have agreed.

Three days later, Xiao Hanzheng and his family left for the capital.

Apart from Xi Rui and Xi Rong, the Fifth Prince also went back with them.

Xiao Yuanshi had also finished dealing with the businesses in North City. Half a month later, he brought the old Xiao Family to the capital.

He had to go to the capital to report his gratitude before returning to Nanxi County.

His legs were crippled, but the Emperor had actually given him permission to go directly to Nanxi County instead of the capital to thank him.

However, when Xiao Yuanshi thought of Kong Yuelan marrying King Yi, he could not accept that.

He wanted to go to the capital to take a look. Only when he saw that the two of them were really married could he give up.

Because Shi Qingluo was pregnant and there was no rush, the Xiao Family did not rush. They walked and stopped, and they only arrived in the capital after a month.

The courtyard in the capital was still there, so the family went straight home.

Xiao Hanzheng washed up and went straight into the palace.

The Emperor summoned Xiao Hanzheng immediately and praised him in front of several ministers.

It also showed that he would still put Xiao Hanzheng in an important position.

The ministers also realized that the Emperor valued Xiao Hanzheng more than they had imagined.

Therefore, they were all very polite to Xiao Hanzheng and no one was stupid enough to pick a fight with him.

After that, the Emperor told Xiao Hanzheng about King Yi’s marriage.

Soon, King Yi entered the palace as well.

The Emperor asked the old ministers to go back and he left Xiao Hanzheng some food.

After the news spread, it made many officials jealous.

The Emperor valued Xiao Hanzheng too much. There were so many ministers in the imperial court, and the number of them who had been invited to dine together with the Emperor was less than a handful.

Because of this, many families were even more determined to target Xiao Baili and Xiao Hanyi..
