Chapter 159: What happened to tricking the idiots
That night, Xiao Yuanshi also fell ill and developed a high fever.
He was afraid his little wife might be affected, so he stayed alone in another courtyard.
Ge Chunru, who had a miscarriage, was unable to take care of herself, so she let the servant girl by her side serve her all night.
The imperial doctor also guarded her the entire night.
It was almost dawn, so Old Lady Xiao and Old Master Xiao also went to the courtyard.
After waiting for him for a while, Xiao Yuanshi woke up.
He was stunned to see his parents in his courtyard.
Old Lady Xiao’s eyes were red and swollen.
When she saw that her son had woken up, she pounced on him.
“My son, you’re finally awake. Your father and I are so worried about you.”
What she said now was partially true.
Ever since she knew that Ge Chunru had a miscarriage, she had been on tenterhooks.
It was Mdm Wu who reminded her that Shi Qingluo told them that they had to coax Xiao Yuanshi if they wanted to fight with that vixen.
Hence, she discussed with the old master and came over to visit him.
Old Master Xiao’s eyes were red as well.
He looked at Xiao Yuanshi and said, “We all know that what happened outside is a rumour. Don’t take it to heart.
“You should rest well. Your health is more important.”
This was the first time Xiao Yuanshi felt his parents’ concern.
In addition, he was already very fragile as he was sick.
Therefore, he was less guarded.
He could not help but soften his tone a lot. “I apologise for making you and father worry about me.”
Old Lady Xiao held his hand and cried, “You are a piece of meat that fell from my body. Seeing that you are sick and suffering from a fever, how can your father and I not be worried?
“It’s all Ge Chunyi’s fault. If he had not provoked Xi Rui, you would not have been schemed against.”
They had already heard from their second son’s trusted aides that their son had been schemed against by Xi Rui, so they hated the Ge siblings even more.
“My son, if something happens to you, how will your father and I live on?”
Then, they started crying again.
Xiao Yuanshi’s original intention to settle his debt with the old lady suddenly faded.
Furthermore, when he woke up, both of his parents were with him, but his little wife wasn’t.
Although he knew that she was recuperating from her miscarriage, he still felt a little uncomfortable.
When he heard the old lady’s words again, he diverted his anger.
Xi Rui’s doings really stemmed from Ge Chunyi.
If he did not provoke this little devil, would he be implicated and schemed against?
He opened his mouth to comfort his parents.
The two of them looked at him and heaved a huge sigh of relief.
It seemed likethey would be safe for now.
They left after saying a little more to express their concern.
Just as the two of them left, Xiao Yuanshi’s trusted aide walked in.
“Master, the waiter from the restaurant returned to his hometown.”
Xiao Yuanshi raised his eyebrows. “Returned to his hometown?”
His trusted aide replied, “The restaurant’s manager said that the waiter’s family wrote a letter saying that his mother was sick and asked him to return to his hometown.”
Xiao Yuanshi sneered, “How could it be so coincidental. Something must be fishy. Go to his hometown and bring him back.
“Or find out who is the person instructing him.”
His trusted aide nodded, “Yes!”
Ge Chunru found out that the old lady went to cry and complain, but Xiao Yuanshi actually did not pursue on how she caused her to have a miscarriage.
This angered her again.
Following that, Xiao Yuanshi was sick and got someone to go to the Ministry of War to apply for a few days of leave on behalf of him.
The rumours about him in the capital did not stop.
Instead, they continue to spread.
Liang Youxiao’s workshop continued to refine its products and finally produced a batch of skateboards and scooters.
Hence, he called Xi Rui over.
“I specially brought this from Nanxi county for you to play with.”
Xi Rui looked at the skateboard and was puzzled. “How do you want to play with this?”
Liang Youxiao personally demonstrated. “Watch.”
Recently, apart from rushing the production at his workshop, he had also been practising all kinds of difficult skateboard movements at home.
Although he was not as good as Shi Qingluo, he could still do a few tricks.
It had also gained the attention of a few other dandies who had come along with Xi Rui.
“What is this? It looks too fun.”
Liang Youxiao smiled and said, “This is a skateboard!”
Xi Rui said impatiently, “Let me try it.”
Then, he gradually got a hang of it despite being a little foreign to it at the start.
He enjoyed it and liked it more than Mahjong.
Liang Youxiao saw that Xi Rui was able to do a few simple moves very soon. He was speechless.
As expected, he was the king at playing.
He had been in the Xiao family for a few days before he could do these movements.
Soon, Xi Rui and a few other rich kids left with the skateboard Liang Youxiao gave them.
On the same day, a group of rich kids were playing on a wooden board on the main street of the capital.
Not only were the skateboards fast, but the users could also perform a lot of dazzling, eye-catching and thrilling movements.
Many teenagers also stared at them with their eyes wide open.
One after another, they ran to ask Xi Rui what it was.
Skateboarding became popular in the capital after this group of dandies were in the spotlight.
Following the trend was actually more prevalent than in modern times.
After all, there was too little entertainment in the ancient era.
Especially with Xi Rui who was famous in the capital as the king of having fun took the lead, more people of his age wanted the skateboard.
The next day, Liang Youxiao immediately started selling skateboards and skateboards in his newly furnished shop.
He even specially trained a few of his shopkeepers to demonstrate.
Moreover, its selling price wasn’t ordinarily high.
A skateboard was priced at 50 taels of silver, and a scooter was priced at 60 taels of silver.
Of course, the materials he used were better than the ones Shi Qingluo gave him, and the appearance was also a little better.
The capital wasn’t a place that lacked money, so the young masters from many families brought their silver along and lined up to buy them.
Among them, many were the young ladies’ servant girls.
Of course, the young ladies brought them mostly to play at home.
Because of this, many families in the capital had a similar scene.
“Mother, give me some money. I want to buy a skateboard.”
“That skateboard costs 50 taels of silver each. It’s day-light robbery.”
“The people around me are all playing with skateboards. If I don’t buy it, how embarrassing would it be!”
“Buy your ass. That’s what the Liang family’s kid is doing. He specifically set you idiots up. 50 taels isn’t a small amount.”
His biological father was scolding him.
“Forget it if you don’t want to give it to me. I’ll go look for my grandmother. I don’t want to lose face in front of my classmates.”
“You, you b * stard, I’ll beat you up!”
Then, in less than two days, these fathers who almost beat up their teenage children bought them a skateboard…
What happened to tricking the idiots…
No matter what, Liang Youxiao had made a huge profit.
With his strong enough family background, no one followed suit to make skateboards and scooters to sell in the capital yet.
However, someone bought a scooter and scooter and secretly developed it, preparing to sell it elsewhere.
On the other hand, in Xiaxi village.
Xiao Hanzheng also received two letters from the capital.
One was written by Liang Youxiao, and the other was written by Xiao Hanzheng’s people.
After reading the letters, Shi Qingluo was very pleased. “Xi Rui and Liang Youxiao did a great job!
“Old Lady Xiao’s tactical strength didn’t decrease either. She actually caused that woman to have a miscarriage.”
Xiao Hanzheng chuckled. “It’s also retribution.”
Back then, that woman used the unborn child to scheme against his mother.
She should have been prepared for retribution.
His people found out that that woman’s body was in poor condition now.
It would be difficult for her to get pregnant again.
His scumbag father even sent people to check if his master was really dead and if he had other disciples.
His scumbag father should have already found out that he was the divine doctor’s disciple.
After all, Fei Yuzhe didn’t hide that he brought his nephew here to treat his illness.
Xiao Hanzheng also didn’t hide that he went to the prefectural city to provide medical consultation for others.
He curled his lips. “I’m suddenly looking forward to it. If my scumbag father and that woman confirm that I’m the only disciple of the godly doctor, only I can help her recuperate her body and get pregnant as soon as possible.”
Shi Qingluo could not help but laugh out loud. “I’m looking forward to it too. It’s fun just thinking about it.”
His scumbag father and that woman were on the verge of having a meltdown.
