Shi Qingluo went to take another three ncense sticks and kicked the switch again.
Only then did she return and pass it to Third Son Shi. "I'll trust you for the time being.
"Master, if you can just trust him once, albeit reluctantly, then please manifest again."
As soon as she finished speaking, a gentle breeze blew over his head.
Third Son Shi immediately took the incense and walked very devoutly to the old Taoist's tablet. He knelt down and said, "Old immortal, I will definitely do a good job. Please be rest assured."
This time, the last trace of doubt in his heart dispelled.
Manifestation occurring once might be an accident, but it was impossible to happen twice.
Moreover, every time Shi Qingluo said it, the wind would blow.
If this wasn't a manifestation, what else could it be?
He also made up his mind that he would definitely listen to his eldest daughter in the future.
When the old immortal was happy, he would bestow him with a son.
After offering the incense, Shi Qingluo waved her hand at him in disdain. "Alright, you can go back to the village first. We'll leave in a while."
The corners of Third Son Shi's mouth twitched. This girl really treated him as a disposable one.
Hmph, for the sake of the old immortal, he wouldn't take it to heart.
He wouldn't call her a damned girl anymore. It was too evil.
He even forced a smile and nodded as if he had a good temper. "Alright, then I'll make a move first. I'll look for you guys again if I need anything."
Then, he left the main hall tactfully.
Hearing the Taoist temple's door closed, Xiao Hanzheng looked at his little wife and gave her a thumbs up. "Awesome!"
Previously, his little wife had called Xiao Mu and his son to make something in the Taoist temple, but he did not know what exactly it was as he was at the county school.
He did not expect that his little wife would make the old immortal manifest here.
Not to mention that this trick was exceptionally effective.
For someone who was evil but smart like Third Son Shi, even if one was sick of teaching him a lesson, one would continue to hold grudges against him and hate him more and more.
His indecisiveness made him an easy target for others to manipulate him to take revenge and do bad things for them.
Making him do good deeds was tough.
After all, a leopard can't change its spots.
But now that his little wife had done this, he could tell that his cheapskate father-in-law was really going to change.
Shi Qingluo smiled proudly. "Of course!"
There was a set of tactics tailored to each troublemaker.
An individual would always have a weakness or something that he was eager to pursue.
So, it wouldn't be wrong to tap on this.
In front of the old Taoist priest's memorial tablet, the two of them intentionally didn't stand too close together.
"Other than this, is there anyone else who can manifest?" With his little wife's personality, she would definitely hold back a few tricks.
Shi Qingluo smiled and blinked. "Of course. Do you want to see it now, or next time?"
If her little husband wanted to see it first, she could make an exception and let him see it.
Xiao Hanzheng smiled lightly and said, "Let's save it for later when we need it."
This way, he would anticipate more.
The two of them went to the backyard to take care of their corn and chilli before leaving.
In the capital.
The troublemakers of old Xiao's family had been living quite comfortably recently.
They could buy whatever clothes and food they wanted without saying much.
Eldest Grandson Xiao and the others also brought quite a lot of silver with them.
Eldest Grandson Xiao slept on the bed in his room like a dead pig.
A woman got up from the bed and put on her clothes.
She reached out and patted his face.
Since he didn't react, she kicked him off the bed in disgust.
Then, she opened the door and left through the side door.
She sneaked into another courtyard.
It was already dark.
In the courtyard, Xiao Yuanshi was talking to Ge Chunru.
Ge Chunru's servant girl knocked on the door and brought her in.
The woman immediately bowed to the two of them. "Greetings, General and Madam."
Xiao Yuanshi played with his teacup. "You got them all?"
The woman replied respectfully, "Yes, I got them all.
"It's what I said earlier. Xiao Hanzheng's wife from Nanxi county taught them these.
"They had been writing to each other.
"If they encountered any problems, that daughter-in-law would provide them some advice."
Then, she told them all the information that she had gotten from the drunk Eldest Grandson Xiao just now.
Including how that daughter-in-law had taught them.
After hearing this, Xiao Yuanshi and his wife both gave ugly expressions on their faces.
The expert she managed to sieve out from Eldest Grandson Xiao was actually Xiao Hanzheng's new wife, who also gave advice to the old Xiao family.
She had also discovered how Eldest Grandson Xiao and that daughter-in-law had been writing to each other.
Half a month ago, Xiao Yuanshi had also successfully intercepted that letter.
However, looking at the contents of the letter, which were all about showing off how they had acted arrogantly in the general's residence, he thought for a moment and still sent it out.
After the previous incident, perhaps because the old lady and others had warned him, Eldest Grandson Xiao had kept his mouth shut.
Today, he arranged for someone to make him drunk behind the backs of other old Xiao family members.
Only then did they manage to worm all the facts out of it.
Xiao Yuanshi thought for a moment and asked, "Are the letters still there?"
The woman shook her head. "No. That daughter-in-law had instructed them to burn the letter immediately after reading it.
"She claimed that she was afraid that you all would find out.
"So every time they finished reading the letter, they would listen to her instructions and burn it."
Xiao Yuanshi tightened his grip on the teacup. "Zheng'er's little wife doesn't seem to be simple!"
She actually controlled the Xiao family so tightly that all the ideas she had come up with had succeeded.
The key point was that she was very meticulous.
She had made these idiots burn the letters so as to prevent leaving any evidence behind.
He only had to wait for Shi Qingluo to reply and come up with more ideas so that he could be mentally prepared to deal with them and keep the letters as evidence.
However, Xiao Yuanshi also did not expect that his upright and elegant son had already guessed all of his thoughts.
Hence, this time, Shi Qingluo did not plan to reply to their letter.
Ge Chunru started hating Xiao Hanzheng's wife whom she had never met before.
If not for that little b * tch, her reputation would not have been ruined and she would not have had to endure so much suffering from the old lady and the rest.
Her brother's future would not have been ruined either.
"It seems that she is a vicious and merciless person with a belly full of evil intentions."
She looked worried. "I'm not sure if Zheng'er would steer off track because of her."
She never believed that Xiao Hanzheng was a harmless person.
However, she knew Xiao Yuanshi's thoughts.
After all, he was his son.
Even if he gave up on him and was ruthless to not wanting to see him again, he might still dislike others speaking ill of him.
Therefore, she never spoke ill of Xiao Hanzheng and his siblings in front of Xiao Yuanshi. Instead, she always pretended that she was putting herself in his shoes.
Anyway, one day, she would remove all these thorns in her heart so that they would not bother her anymore.
As expected, these words made Xiao Yuanshi frown. "Mdm Kong is still so weak and injudicious to actually let Zheng'er marry a vicious and evil wife."
He then looked at his trusted aide. "Have the people you arranged to go to Nanxi county set off yet?"
His trusted aide replied respectfully, "They have already set off at full speed. They should be able to reach Nanxi county within two days."
Xiao Yuanshi narrowed his eyes. "Let's carry on with our initial plan. Let the Wu family and that daughter-in-law's family deal with her.
"Be it her background or personality, she wasn't good enough for Zheng'er. If there's a chance..."
He did not finish his sentence, but he made a hand gesture by slitting his throat to his trusted aide.
Of course, he did not mean to arrange for someone to kill his wife directly.
After all, if this matter were exposed one day, it wouldn't be good for his reputation.
He would not want to leave the evidence behind.
He wanted to borrow someone's knife to kill her.
His trusted aide had followed Xiao Yuanshi for many years, so he naturally knew what he meant. "Yes, I will send a message over."
