Chapter 356: What was her underlying intention?
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat TranslationShi Qingluo could not help but shake her head.
“Mdm Niu is really hopeless.”
Presumably, that deputy general had taken a liking to Second Granddaughter Shi and had given her a lot of betrothal gifts.
Otherwise, Mdm Niu would not have secretly done it even when Third Son Shi did notvagree.
She had thought that Mdm Niu would be very caring towards her second and third daughters.
It seemed that in light of the benefits, this would hold a lower priority.
Unless she had a son, then Mdm Niu might care about him.
In Mdm Niu’s heart, daughters were like grass.
Third Son Shi wasn’t a good person in the past, but he had changed a lot.
This was something worth affirming.
If he had collaborated with Mdm Niu to do such a thing, then Shi Qingluo would definitely not bother with her cheapskate father anymore.
She would even write a letter to ask Eldest Grandson Xiao to teach Third Son Shi a lesson.
Xiao Hanzheng also felt that Mdm Niu had gone too far. “There’s really no hope.”
She was her biological daughter, yet she could actually do such a thing.
Shi Qingluo said, “The divorce is good. I think Third Son Shi did the right thing here.”
She said again, “If Mdm Niu went to the mine, would it implicate Ge Chunyi?”
After all, there were times when the world was so small.
If the two of them were in the same place, they might just bump into each other.
Xiao Hanzheng said, “I’ve asked someone to keep an eye on them.”
He added, “As long as they don’t do anything bad to us, just let them be.”
Shi Qingluo nodded. “That’s true.”
The two of them didn’t take this matter to heart.
After taking a stroll, the two of them held hands and returned to their room.
The next day, Xiao Hanzheng wrote a letter and gave it to the emperor’s secret guards in the Xiao residence.
When they had left the imperial palace, the emperor had given Xiao Hanzheng and his wife a letter, allowing him to directly send messages through them.
Furthermore, apart from sending messages, the emperor also wanted them to protect them.
The secret guards quickly sent the letter to the palace.
When the emperor saw that Xiao Hanzheng and his wife were going to give him a formula again, he could not help but smile.
Especially when he saw that Shi Qingluo was angry that King Jin wanted her to be cuckolded, and she dreamt of her master that night.
He did not know whether to laugh or cry at this.
He really did not know what that girl was thinking about all day.
How could men cause women to be cuckolded?
Didn’t it mean that all the subsequent wives and concubines caused the main wives to be cuckolded?
However, he didn’t dislike her.
Instead, he felt that this girl had a clear distinction between love and hate.
Her straightforward personality was very likable.
Moreover, Xiao Hanzheng had also said to the outside world that he wanted to live with his wife for the rest of his life.
Although the emperor didn’t know if Xiao Hanzheng could do it, Shi Qingluo definitely believed him now.
That was why she had such thoughts.
Of course, he also didn’t expect Shi Qingluo to actually have the formula for glass making.
The palace also had some items made from glass, but they were all extremely expensive and came from the western regions.
The key was that there were very few of them.
Whenever glass arrived in the capital, the aristocratic families would compete to buy it at a high price.
Therefore, if Daliang could create glass, it would indeed bring a large sum of money into their national treasury.
It could also be used to increase military supplies and provisions.
Every soldier could also receive a pair of rubber-soled leather shoes.
After resolving these internal and external problems, the money earned could be used to build more cement roads.
Thinking of this, the emperor’s heart could not help but burn with passion.
He picked up a pen and wrote the word “yes” and asked the secret guard to pass it to Xiao Hanzheng.
He also asked Shi Qingluo to enter the palace today and finish this matter before Zhuo Jun sent the letter.
If Zhuo Jun was met with a problem, he was not afraid.
King Jin saw Shi Qingluo’s value and would not be willing to kill her when they reached the northern border.
Moreover, he would send more people to protect Xiao Hanzheng and his wife, both openly and also in the dark.
Of course, apart from protecting them, he also had the intention of keeping an eye on them.
After all, one’s mind was unpredictable.
Although he trusted Xiao Hanzheng and his wife now, it didn’t mean that they wouldn’t betray him when they went to the northern border.
Although the possibility was very small, he had to guard against it.
He would naturally send people to keep an eye on Zhuo Jun’s side.
Once there was a problem, they could only revert the plan.
If Zhuo Jun’s surrender was real, he would also fulfill her wish in the future.
It would be too much if he didn’t tolerate this.
Xiao Hanzheng received the emperor’s message and asked his little wife to find Xi Rong and bring them into the palace.
This way, they would not arouse suspicion.
Xi Rong was extremely excited when she heard that Shi Qingluo dreamed that the old immortal had given her a formula again.
“Luoluo, what formula did you dream about this time?”
Shi Qingluo did not hide anything. “The glass making formula.”
Xi Rong widened her eyes. “It’s so amazing that your master knows how to make glass.”
Shi Qingluo smiled. “Yes, my master is better at this.
“He must have traveled to the western regions before, so he knew about the glass formula and improved it.”
Master, it’s been a long time since I’ve asked you to take the blame.
I guess you’re not used to not taking the blame either…
Therefore, it would be better for you to continue taking the blame.
Xi Rong had a look of admiration on her face. “Your master is really awesome.”
She held Shi Qingluo’s arm. “Let’s go. I’ll bring you to meet my uncle.”
Then, the three of them entered the palace.
Very soon, many people received the news that Xi Rong had brought Shi Qingluo and her husband into the palace.
It seemed that she was going to offer a formula again.
Therefore, everyone immediately perked up.
They were very curious about what formula Shi Qingluo was going to offer this time.
Now, they also knew that only important formulas would be offered to the emperor.
Otherwise, she would directly cooperate with Liang Youxiao and the others.
Therefore, this formula would definitely not be an ordinary one.
Xi Rui and the others also heard that Shi Qingluo was going to offer the formula in the palace.
They were also very curious.
Zhuo Jun was stunned when she heard that Shi Qingluo was going to the palace to present the formula.
She was obviously very surprised.
They were going to the northern border.
What was the underlying intention of Shi Qingluo and her husband giving the formula?
She had already prepared to send a message, but now she would wait.
She would wait until Shi Qingluo had given the recipe and confirm it before sending the message back.
This would make King Jin pay more attention to Xiao Hanzheng and his wife, and it would be easier for them to act when they went to the northern border.
It would also be safer.
With King Jin’s character, he would not be willing to kill such a talent.
Zhuo Jun guessed that the emperor and Xiao Hanzheng did not trust her completely, but she did not care.
If the two of them really believed her so easily, she would not dare to hang out with them.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
Zhuo Jun immediately put the letter she had written in her arms. “Come in!”
One of her personal attendants walked in. “There’s a message from above.”
Zhuo Jun said calmly, “Speak.”
The personal attendant went straight to the point. “You are to quickly rope in Xiao Hanzheng and his wife. If it’s still not done, then you’ll carry out the second plan.”
Zhuo Jun knew that the second plan he was talking about was to make what’s done irreversible towards Xiao Hanzheng.
She said, “I know what I’m doing. It should be done soon. There’s no need for the alternative plan.”
Her personal attendant’s attitude was a little arrogant, and there was even a hint of warning in his tone. “It’s good that you know. Don’t delay our master’s important matters.”
She glanced at him coldly. “You don’t have to worry about that.
“You can go out now.”
Her personal attendant snorted. “If there was a problem, we would all be finished together. How could I not be worried?”
Seeing that Zhuo Jun’s expression had turned cold, he curled his lips and turned to leave the study room.
Zhuo Jun did not lose her temper.
She just closed her eyes and looked very calm.
However, her tightly clenched hands still revealed her emotions.
