"Why are you suddenly speaking for that Lu Yitong? Have you known about this for a long time?"
"What!" Mrs. Xi looked at Ruan Yunluo in shock, "You already knew this?!"
"Where would I know?"
Ruan Yunluo asked calmly, "Besides, where did I speak for Lu Yitong?"
"You still said no?"
Xiao Chongjing was unhappy, "People like Lu Yitong should be killed directly. If you keep him, what if he really gets a position? Do you really agree to Qintang's marriage?"
"He is a civil servant after all. He will kill him whenever he wants. Aren't you afraid of something happening?" Ruan Yunluo asked, "And if you kill him, what will happen to the third sister?"
"What should I do?" Xiao Chongjing said disdainfully, "Does she really dare to seek death?"
"I don't know whether she is seeking death or not, but she will hate you for the rest of her life."
"She hates it as much as she likes!"
Xiao Chongjing gritted his teeth, "She can marry anyone anyway, but she can never marry that Lu Yitong!"
"I didn't ask her to marry either."
"Then what would you say if he gets a position?"
"Why is there such a possibility?"
Ruan Yunluo looked at Xiao Chongjing doubtfully, "You are a general after all, can't you handle such a small thing?"
"right!"
Mrs. Xi immediately understood what Ruan Yunluo meant.
She breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Xiao Chongjing and ordered: "I'll leave this matter to you. No matter what method you use, I must completely block the road that Lu Yitong is missing!"
"Um."
Xiao Chong nodded.
He regained his sanity at this time and realized that as a general, he had many ways to deal with a small official.
Ruan Yunluo was right. With the current popularity, it would be too eye-catching to directly kill a Juren. It's better to wait a little longer. After this incident passes, there will naturally be thousands of ways to kill him!
With an idea in mind, everyone felt much more relaxed. At this time, Mrs. Xi suddenly thought of Xiao Qinyu.
"How is Qinyu doing now?"
Mrs. Xi took a sip of tea and looked at Xiao Chongjing strangely, "Isn't he at home? Why didn't you see him for such a big event today?"
"he……"
When mentioning Xiao Qinyu, Xiao Chongjing hesitated and shook his head guiltily, "I don't know."
"I don't know?!" Madam Xi raised her voice and asked, "How many days has it been since I fainted? You don't even know whether Qinyu is dead or alive! What do you do for food! Just hang out with that Yin Xiaorou , you don’t even care about your younger brothers and sisters, right?! If you continue like this, you won’t even have to worry about my life or death from now on!”
"I'll send someone to find him right now!"
Xiao Chongjing's face became hot when he was told that. Just when he was about to go look for it, he suddenly heard Ruan Yunluo's voice next to him. She said: "No need, my second brother is fine."
"How is he now? Where does he live?" Mrs. Xi asked eagerly. "Is he doing well now?"
"He's... not fine."
Recalling what Xiao Qinyu looked like when he found him in his previous life, Ruan Yunluo sighed and said, "He has a house outside. He spends all day hanging out with his friends and drinking in the house. The Imperial High School is not willing to go, and his life is very decadent."
"What!"
Mrs. Xi was shocked.
Thinking that her youngest son was so miserable all alone, Mrs. Xi was heartbroken and couldn't help but be angry at the same time.
She glared at Xiao Chongjing and gritted her teeth, "Tell me what you have done to your brothers and sisters for the sake of a woman! Why do you have the face!"
"I..." Xiao Chongjing was embarrassed.
"What am I!" Mrs. Xi was angry, pointing at Xiao Chongjing's nose and ordered, "Right now, go and bring Qinyu back to me in person! If you can't bring him back, you don't have to come back!"
"I'll go right away."
"Wait a minute." Xiao Chongjing was about to set off, but was stopped by Ruan Yunluo again.
She looked at Mrs. Xi and consoled her: "Mom, in my opinion, it's better to let Qinyu calm down for a while. After all, the general and Miss Xiaorou just... he may be even more uncomfortable when he comes back."
"Then what should we do! Should we just let him continue to be decadent like this?"
"Of course not." Ruan Yunluo laughed, "Actually, I was just thinking about what happened to Lu Yitong just now. Would it be better if the second brother could have an official position? Maybe he would have something serious to do and he wouldn't be able to do it if he got busy. It’s time to worry about those chores.”
"That makes sense!"
Mrs. Xi's eyes lit up and she agreed with Ruan Yunluo's idea.
She looked at Xiao Chongjing with dissatisfaction, "Look at you! A real brother doesn't have Yun Luo, a sister-in-law, to worry about!"
"But how can this position be so easy to get?"
Xiao Chongjing sighed, "If you don't take the imperial examination, you can only donate to the official position, which will cost a lot of money..."
"Then spend it!"
Mrs. Xi said categorically.
She knew very well that Xiao Qinyu had no interest in the imperial examination. Even if he studied for a few more years, it would probably be a waste of time.
It would be better to take this opportunity to directly donate an official position to him in one step, and save him from having to study so hard.
"But this money..." Xiao Chongjing hesitated.
Recently, he took over as housekeeper and discovered that the family's finances were not as optimistic as he had imagined.
There are hundreds of people living in this mansion, and they spend a lot of money just eating, drinking, and taking care of themselves every day. Add in the food and drinks, and the like, and there isn't much left over every month.
"What, you don't want to give up?" Mrs. Xi was dissatisfied.
"No." Xiao Chongjing shook his head and explained, "Mom, just donating an official position is not a big deal, but Qintang and Qinyu have grown up in the past two years, and their marriage will also require a lot of money... "
"What's there to worry about?"
Mrs. Xi curled her lips and looked at Ruan Yunluo, "Over the years, Yunluo has already saved up their betrothal gifts and dowry. When the time comes, you can just entertain them and spend as much money as you can."
"Now, finding a way to get Qin Yu back on the right track is the Xiao family's top priority."
"yes."
Xiao Chongjing agreed and left the Qingshou Hall with Ruan Yunluo.
After hesitating again and again, he stopped and looked at Ruan Yunluo, "Don't you hate me very much and wish I would divorce you? Why did you speak for me just now?"
"Have it?"
"have!"
"If you think so, then you can."
Ruan Yunluo smiled indifferently.
Anyway, when all his money is wasted in a few days, he will naturally know how powerful he is...
