Chapter 232 Good people deserve good rewards
Su Yue told Mrs. Gao and Gao Qiuhua about the family separation.
"The separation of families is progressing so smoothly, thanks to the help of my wife and Qiuhua, otherwise I don't know how long it would have been delayed."
Mrs. Gao smiled and patted her hand, "It's not a big deal, it's just asking the mother-in-law in front of me to chat with Mrs. Xiao for a few words.
If I hadn't happened to encounter this strange thing, I just happened to have a handle on General Xiao, I'm afraid General Xiao might not be willing to give in so easily."
Gao Qiuhua smiled and agreed, "Yes, Sister Su, it seems that God is on your side."
Su Yue smiled softly.
She didn't know whether God was on their side, she only knew that if there was no chance, she would create one.
What Xiao Hui cares about most is his official career. Since he insists on using Xiao Wulang to manipulate them, he will create some trouble for his official career.
With Bai Hu and Chang You around, it's easy to cause trouble.
A tiger and a monkey broke into Xiao's house in the dead of night without alerting anyone at all.
Changyou was a happy porter. He carried a box and cage from Mrs. Xiao's yard and threw it into Wu's yard. He also took some jewelry from Wu's yard and put it in Zhao and Mrs. Xiao's yard.
Bai Hu was responsible for giving Xiao Hui some intoxicating drugs, and then carried the unconscious Xiao Hui all the way to the prefect's Yamen.
This place is familiar to him. Last time Su Yue took him here to play ghost for a night.
So, Baihu successfully put Xiao Hui into the official document room, found Xiao Silang's file from it, and like a courier, put it into the bedrooms of Mrs. Zhao and Uncle Xiao.
This night, the tiger and the monkey were busy, and Su Yue rewarded them with two barrels of meat soaked in orchid dew.
Under the influence of the drug, Xiao Hui slept until daylight and was successfully hit by the prefect, and that was how the next thing happened.
As for Mrs. Xiao's insistence on splitting up the family, it was because Su Yue asked Mrs. Gao for help.
After Gao Zhifu brought all the Xiao family members to the prefect's Yamen, they were not put in cells. Instead, they found separate rooms and locked them up to prevent them from making confessions.
Mrs. Xiao was taken into the inner courtyard by the mother-in-law who was serving Mrs. Gao.
The mother-in-law smiled and said to the old lady Xiao: "My husband and General Xiao are officials in the same state, so they should live in harmony. The old lady is here. Where can I be interrogated as a prisoner, I will accompany the old lady and chat a few words."
"
Mrs. Xiao had lived in the countryside for decades, so she didn't know the twists and turns of government affairs, so she believed her mother-in-law's words.
The mother-in-law was a clever talker, and she coaxed Mrs. Xiao into telling her a lot of bad things about her family.
The mother-in-law persuaded and guided Mrs. Xiao, "My hometown is also in the countryside. I once heard someone say that the elders and juniors in a family also have conflicting zodiac signs.
Listen to what the old lady said, it’s not just one of the younger members of the family who had a conflict with you that caused so much misfortune, right?”
Mrs. Xiao was very upset when she heard this. After thinking about it carefully, she immediately determined that Xiao Wulang was the kid who had a conflict with her.
She then scolded Xiao Sanlang and Xiao Wulang.
The mother-in-law looked sympathetic, "It's just because of your old temper, old lady. If it were me, I would have sorted out such unfilial descendants.
Think about it, General Xiao must feel a little guilty after not seeing them for many years. I heard that Xiao Sanlang is very capable.
If he takes control of General Xiao in the future and prevents General Xiao from being filial to you, won't you be helpless in your old age?"
These words simply touched the heart of Mrs. Xiao.
It was fine that she had never enjoyed the life of an old official lady before, but now that she had enjoyed the life of calling slaves and maidservants, she was completely unwilling to let her go home and live the hard life of ordinary people.
Mrs. Xiao had her own little plan in mind, and with her mother-in-law's deliberate guidance, Mrs. Xiao immediately made up her mind to let Xiao Hui separate Xiao Sanlang and Xiao Wulang separately as soon as she saw him.
"This morning, I was outside listening the whole time," Gao Qiuhua shook his head and sighed, "This is the first time I know that there are such selfish elders in the world. I don't even understand what the old lady is thinking."
Su Yue looked sarcastic, "Of course I want to keep all the glory and wealth that I can see in front of me in my own hands. Mr. Xiao only has three sons. The youngest son's surname is Wu and he will inherit the Wu family in the future.
If Sanlang and Wulang were separated and there would be no heir in the future, the old lady would definitely want the grandson of the eldest family to inherit.
She feels that everyone in the big house is easy to control and does not dare to disobey her. She wants the future Xiao Mansion to be decided by her, an old lady."
Gao Qiuhua was dumbfounded when he heard this, "According to Sister Su's guess, wouldn't it mean that Old Mrs. Xiao will fight with Mrs. Wu non-stop when she goes back?"
After all, even though Wu Hao's surname is Wu, he is also the biological son of General Xiao. It is impossible to let his biological son pass away and let his nephew inherit it instead, right?"
Su Yue smiled slightly, "So there will be a lot of excitement in the Xiao family next. The old lady will definitely use this matter to seduce the woman in the eldest house and continue the fight with the Wu family."
Gao Qiuhua took a long time before shaking his head and saying, "I've really learned a lot today."
Mrs. Gao gave her an angry look, "Do you know why I agreed to let you listen to Qiang Gen? It's just to give you more insights.
There are people in this world. When you get married in the future, if you are lucky and your mother-in-law is a good mother-in-law, then that’s it. If you meet a mother-in-law like Mrs. Xiao, you have to be more vigilant and don’t give in to everything.
.
It's great to be like your sister Su."
Gao Qiuhua stuck out his tongue disdainfully, "If she were such a mother-in-law, I would definitely not look down on her adopted son.
Besides, I am not as powerful as Sister Su, who can analyze the affairs of the inner house so thoroughly. In the future, I will find someone with a simple family background to avoid such nasty things."
Su Yue smiled, it was not her who analyzed thoroughly, but Xiao Sanlang.
It was Xiao Sanlang who understood the thoughts of the women of the Xiao family bit by bit. Although the two of them came up with this strategy of removing fuel from the cauldron, she only mentioned the matter of using Bai Hu and Chang You to arrange Xiao Hui.
The idea of using Mrs. Xiao to separate the family was suggested by Xiao Sanlang.
Su Yue was also a little puzzled, wondering why Xiao Sanlang could be so insightful into people's hearts.
She came back to her senses, chatted for a few more words, and changed the topic to Mrs. Gao's body, "Let me check Mrs. Gao's pulse."
Gao Qiuhua was very happy, "That's great. The orchid grass lotion Sister Su gave me is almost used up. Mom said she feels much lighter."
Mrs. Gao nodded repeatedly and handed her hand to Su Yue.
Su Yue took her pulse and prescribed a prescription for Mrs. Gao to take along with the orchid grass dew. "Take this for two months, and Mrs. Gao's illness will be cured."
Mrs. Gao was surprised and happy. She had suffered from confinement disease for more than ten years, and she never expected that she would be able to recover one day.
When she met Gao Zhifu in the evening, she couldn't help but tell the story and said with emotion: "This Madam Su is decisive and neat in her actions, and she is straightforward in her conduct. She is a trustworthy person."
Gao Zhifu was very happy to hear that his wife had recovered completely. "Since my wife thinks she is friendly, just let Qiuhua interact with her more."
Mrs. Gao nodded and talked about today's separation of the Xiao family, "Good people are rewarded. You see, God is helping with this separation."
Gao Zhifu stroked his beard and smiled intriguingly, "Good people should indeed be rewarded, but my silly wife, do you really think God is helping you?"
