Chapter 400: The “good days” have finally arrived

As expected, Xiao Yuanshi’s heart warmed up after hearing Liu Ru’s words.
Liu Ru was the true flower that could ease his heart, and Ge Chunru was just pretending to be one.
When Ge Chunru had taken the initiative to approach and seduce him in the past, she had also said that she was not doing it for his status and that she would not leave him no matter what he became.
Now that she was going to be demoted to a concubine, she still acted like that. She couldn’t let go of her status and power.
If Ge Chunru was another girl, she would have agreed with joy.
He reached out and held Liu Ru’s hand. “It’s not as simple as throwing a tantrum. Ge Chunru has made a big mistake and is becoming more and more muddleheaded. So, she is no longer suitable to be the wife of the deputy governor.”
He thought for a while and told her about how Ge Chunru had received money from King Jin’s residence and given it to Ge Chunying.
It was also to let Liu Ru know how to treat those from King Jin’s manor when she interacted with them in the future and not follow Ge Chunru’s old path.
After hearing this, Tao Liu’s eyes widened and he looked incredulous.
“How could my elder sister do such a thing?
“Wouldn’t that harm you?
“Governor, you’ve been transferred to Northern Xinjiang and you’re stuck between the capital and Northern City. You have to be careful. How could she do this to the governor just to help her sister?
“Wouldn’t this make things difficult for you in the future?”
Then, she held Xiao Yuanshi’s hand with a pained expression.
“Governor, you’re so nice to my sister. How can she repay you like this? ”
She was lost for words and cursed Ge Chunru for being an idiot.
She actually dared to accept such money and even gave it to her younger sister to help her. What was she thinking?
She would also take care of her sister, but she would not use her husband’s things to finance her.
On one hand, it would cause her younger sister to expect more and make her feel that it was only right for her to be financed, and it would ruin their future relationships as sisters.
Secondly, if she were to do so, it would cause her in-laws to break up with her, and the loss would outweigh the gain.
If she were her, she would help, but more importantly, she wanted her sister to stand up on her own so that she could gain a firm foothold in her husband’s family.
Moreover, women had to rely on their husband and biological children in the future.
It was fine for sisters to support each other, but it could not be too excessive.
Ge Chunru kept helping her younger siblings. She didn’t feel like an elder sister, but rather like a mother.
Xiao Yuanshi found that Liu Ru was much more considerate than Ge Chunru.
When such a thing was mentioned, Ge Chunru thought of her sister, but Liu Ru thought of him being caught between the emperor and King Jin.
Her heart ached for him more.
The key was that she was very aware that his current identity was very sensitive at the first moment.
She was indeed more suitable to be the wife of the deputy governor.
“Yeah, I didn’t expect her to become so arrogant. She’s deliberately setting me up.
“She’s no longer suitable to be the wife of the deputy governor. Otherwise, who knows what kind of more embarrassing things she’ll do to me in the future.”
He looked at Liu Ru gently. “There’s a banquet held by the ladies in Northern City. You can attend the banquet as the wife of the deputy governor.
“I believe you won’t let me down.”
Liu Ru was very excited in her heart, but she looked a little uncertain. “Can I really do it? What about my sister? Will she be sad?”
By saying this, she wanted Xiao Yuanshi to know that she would never slander Ge Chunru behind her back.
In fact, she would even “think” and “worry” about her.
In the future, when Ge Chunru targeted her, Xiao Yuanshi would stand by her side.
This was also “serving a cup of green tea” that she had learned from Shi Qingluo.
Xiao Yuanshi laughed. “You’re too kind. don’t worry about her. Even if she becomes a concubine, no one in the deputy governor’s office will treat her badly.
“Ge Chunru, the concubine of this household, is no longer capable. She can only rely on you to support her. Don’t shirk your responsibilities. If you manage the household well, I will be more at ease.”
Tao Liu looked touched by his trust and nodded.
“Alright then. For your sake, I will definitely work hard to manage the family and socialize well with the outside world, governor.”
“There’s a flower banquet in King Jin’s mansion two days later. You’ll represent the deputy governor’s office,” said Xiao Yuanshi.
“By the way, don’t get into a conflict with Shi Qingluo when you get there.
“Try to avoid her.”
Although Shi Qingluo had been targeting Ge Chunru, who knew if she would target Liu Ru as well? So he had to remind her.
When Tao Liu heard his words, she was even more certain of how powerful Shi Qingluo was.
Even Xiao Yuanshi was afraid of Shi Qingluo.
