Chapter 166: Seduction

Shi Qingluo was also stunned by her husband’s actions.

It turned out that he wasn’t just a bun filled with black sesame.

He also had bold and ruthless tactics.

Not only was she not afraid or disgusted, but her eyes sparkled as she looked at him.

How cool and handsome!

He was gentle and warm to his family and his own people, but merciless and ruthless to his enemies.

She liked her husband to be like this.

She took the initiative to hold Xiao Hanzheng’s hand. “Brother Zheng is mighty!

“It’s such a pity to let her die of pain.

“Why not make the best use of it?”

Xiao Hanzheng met his wife’s bright and beautiful eyes, and his heart instantly relaxed.

As expected, his wife was different from the rest.

She wasn’t afraid of the other side of him.

How could he not be tempted by a wife like her.

His cold gaze towards Tao Liu had disappeared and was replaced by warmth.

He smiled and asked, “How do you make the best use of it?”

Shi Qingluo smiled and said, “Didn’t that woman want her to seduce you and sow discord between us?

“Then return this gift to her and let her enjoy it.”

Xiao Hanzheng understood immediately. “Give her to my scumbag father?”

Shi Qingluo smiled and nodded. “That’s right!

“Let your scumbag father know that that woman is not the only unique one who would worship him and treat him as the most important man in her heart.

“Let that woman suffer the consequences of her own actions and let them fight. How fun this would be.”

Wasn’t she intending to be the only wife of his scumbag father?

She also had to ask him and see if he would agree to it. Hmph!

Her scumbag father wasn’t very experienced in manning relationships, so it wasn’t impossible for him to take the bait from Tao Liu, who just so happened to be a trained woman.

Xiao Hanzheng smiled dotingly and said, “Alright, I’ll listen to you.”

Shi Qingluo gave him a gaze that suggested that her husband was the best.

Then, she let go of him and walked towards Tao Liu, who was in so much pain that she wanted to roll around on the ground.

She clasped hands onto the ground, and her ten fingers were already bleeding.

She squatted down without pity or sympathy.

There wasn’t much emotion in her voice. “I saw the ambition in your eyes previously. You are not willing to accept your current circumstances and want to climb up, right?”

Tao Liu endured the pain and raised her head to look at Shi Qingluo.

She met a pair of cold eyes.

At this moment, she only had one thought.

This woman wasn’t simple either. She did not seem like a village girl at all.

Moreover, she was just as ruthless.

She actually wanted her to go and seduce her father-in-law and deal with the general’s wife.

No wonder she could make this devil man, Xiao Hanzheng, pamper her gently.

The two of them were together in this.

At this moment, she really regretted provoking them.

She panted and said intermittently, “She, she has, she has, the leverage, on me.”

She had to admit that she was a little tempted.

Compared to the two of them, she would rather turn around and deal with the general’s wife.

However, she could not agree to it.

Her sister was in that woman’s hand.

That was her only concern in this world.

At this moment, Xiao Hanzheng suddenly said, “Your sister, I can get someone to save her.

“Haven’t you always wanted to take revenge on the parents who sold you and your sister to that place?

“If you can make General Xiao pay attention to you, do you still worry that you won’t be able to take revenge on them?

“Ge Chunru had a miscarriage not long ago, so she might not be able to conceive a child in the future.”

Xiao Hanzheng’s voice was soft and slow, but it carried a devilish seductive hook.

“If you suddenly have the general’s child and successfully give birth to one, then the entire general’s residence will belong to you and your child.”

Tao Liu really didn’t know this.

She also didn’t expect Xiao Hanzheng to know that his sister was in that woman’s hands.

No wonder her so-called seduction was a joke in his eyes from the beginning to the end.

She suddenly raised her head and looked at Xiao Hanzheng. “You can help me?”

Xiao Hanzheng shook his head and sneered. “Of course, you’ll have to fight it yourself.

“But I can give you the antidote first. In the future, I will get someone to send you the antidote bimonthly.

“This poison will not affect you having General Xiao’s child.”

The reason why he knew about Tao Liu was because in his previous life, that woman had asked Tao Liu to harm one of her father’s opponents.

As a result, they lost the battle at the border.

Daliang lost two cities in a row, and those residing in these cities were slaughtered by their enemy.

The emperor killed the general, and his entire family was exiled, although this wouldn’t be able to recover the lost cities and revive the dead.

Later, when he looked into the problem between his scumbag father and that woman, he accidentally found out that Tao Liu was one of that woman’s pawn.

He also found out that Tao Liu made the general drunk at the crucial moment and delayed their plans to attack.

This allowed their enemy to successfully attack the city.

Hence, he did not want to keep this scourge.

However, his wife’s words reminded him.

Since she was a scourge, he would just let her go to his scumbag father and that woman.

He would not give her the antidote for full recovery.

Only by keeping this woman in fear such that she would not betray him, would he be able to prevent these events in his previous life.

Tao Liu knew that if she agreed, she would be scheming with the tigers.

However, she could not reject such a huge temptation.

Moreover, she did not want to die.

It was just like what Xiao Hanzheng said – she wanted to take revenge on her biological parents.

Back then, when the disaster struck, the family was clearly unsure of what had happened.

Her biological parents sold her and her sister just for a few bags of food and 20 taels of silver.

Even though they knew that the sellers were not buying them to be slaves, but to send them to those dirty places, they still sold them.

Fortunately, she became more beautiful as she grew up.

The person in-charge nurtured her and wanted to sell her directly to the rich who held a higher social status.

So, she didn’t end up in a man’s house.

Instead, the general’s wife bought her.

The general’s wife bought her together with her sister.

However, the general’s wife did not have good intentions.

Instead, she used her sister as her leverage to ask her to do things.

She wanted her to use her beauty to deal with her stepson and ruin his reputation.

Unintentionally, she even heard the woman’s two servant girls talking in private.

They said that after she succeeded, they would transfer her to other people and turn her into the general’s wife’s strong weapon.

Because of this, she wasn’t grateful to the general’s wife.

She even hated her.

She hated her fate as a livestock, being sent here and there and unable to control her destiny.

And now, Xiao Hanzheng and Xiao Hanzheng had given her an alternative.

“I, I promise. First, first, give me the antidote.”

Her whole body was drenched in sweat from the pain.

She really could not stand it.

Xiao Hanzheng took out a small paper bag from his pocket and threw it in front of Tao Liu.

Tao Liu grabbed it without hesitation and opened it.

She swallowed a small red pill inside.

This time, the pill also melted in her mouth, but it was no longer bitter.

Instead, it had a tint of sweetness.

A moment later, the pain in her body gradually lessened, and she fell to the ground weakly.

She raised her head to look at Xiao Hanzheng, who was wearing a moon-white brocade robe.

He was still handsome and good-looking, like a banished immortal.

But she knew that this man was too terrifying.

She asked, “Are you sure you can save my sister?”

Xiao Hanzheng was too lazy to waste his breath on her. “Believe it or not, it’s up to you.”

Apart from his biological mother, sister, and wife, he had no patience with other women.
