"I've been busy recently. Yun Luo took care of this matter."
Xiao Chongjing passed all the responsibilities away with a single word.
Everyone immediately looked at Ruan Yunluo, waiting for her explanation.
"I'm not so sure either……"
Ruan Yunluo glanced at Xiao Chongjing coolly and said calmly: "I personally handed that note to my second brother. As for why he was exiled, I don't know. Maybe we can report it to the official. Maybe it's that Lu Did you steal it yourself?"
"You're talking nonsense!"
Xiao Qintang quickly interrupted.
She was afraid that this matter would affect Lu Yitong's future, so she quickly looked at Mrs. Xi and explained, "Mom, this matter has nothing to do with Brother Lu. My second brother gave me the note personally, and I gave it to Brother Lu. Brother Lu doesn’t know anything.”
"How could he not know!"
Mrs. Xi couldn't bear it anymore.
She didn't understand how her daughter could become like this for a man.
Are relatives who have been connected by blood for more than ten years not as important as a man they just met?
It would be fine if he was a well-matched man with a good heart, but that Lu Yitong, he was clearly a liar!
That note, Xiao Qintang was ignorant and didn't know the value of it. Lu Yitong is a Juren, how could he not know?
Not to mention how much money was spent on writing that note, the favor contained in it is hard to calculate.
That Lu Yitong, after receiving such valuable things, didn't his hands feel soft at all, didn't he feel no murmur in his heart?
snort.
Unless he is an idiot like Xiao Qintang!
Taking a deep breath, Mrs. Xi looked at her stupid daughter, "Why did your second brother give you the note? And how did you get out? Who helped you? Who told you about the note? ?”
"Where can anyone help me?" Xiao Qintang covered her face and felt aggrieved, "I overheard everything myself, and I also found a way to escape on my own."
"As for my second brother..."
When it came to Xiao Qinyu, Xiao Qintang hesitated.
For fear of being beaten again, she did not dare to tell the whole truth. Instead, she looked at Xiao Chongjing with aggrieved eyes, "It's not because of my eldest brother..."
"What does it have to do with me?" Xiao Chongjing frowned and threatened, "Xiao Qintang, if you talk nonsense again, be careful I slap you again!"
"Who is talking nonsense!"
Xiao Qintang quickly covered his face with both hands and said confidently: "Isn't it normal that my second brother doesn't want to take your things? You two are enemies now. He doesn't want to be pitied by you or looked down upon by Yin Xiaorou."
"What does this have to do with Xiaorou?" Xiao Chongjing frowned.
"How come it doesn't matter?" Xiao Qintang refused, "Originally this happened because of Yin Xiaorou..."
"alright!"
Mrs. Xi rubbed her temples irritably.
She glared at the pitiful Yin Xiaorou beside Xiao Chongjing, then sighed dejectedly and looked at her eldest son. "Chongjing, do you have any other options? Can you get Qinyu's official position back? Or, can you donate another one to him?"
"How can this be?"
Xiao Chongjing smiled bitterly.
Lu Yitong has already put on his official uniform, can he still take it off for him?
Even if he can get it off, the official position no longer belongs to Xiao Qinyu and can only be used to benefit others.
Donating again is still an option, but where is the money left?
More than six thousand taels of silver, plus the cost of management and favors, he spent tens of thousands of taels this time.
These tens of thousands of taels of silver have already emptied the government treasury. If you donate again, I'm afraid the General's Mansion will become an empty shell.
"Alas..." Mrs. Xi sighed. "What about Qinyu?"
"How about waiting until next time...?"
Xiao Chongjing was thinking about saving money until he had the chance next time. But at this moment, there was a rush of footsteps outside the door, and Xiao Qinyu's personal servant ran in rolling and crawling.
"Old madam, the second young master..."
"What's wrong with the second young master!"
Mrs. Xi was startled by his panic, and stood up in a hurry to urge, "Speak quickly, what happened to the second young master?"
"The second young master...is missing..."
The boy put on a sad face and handed over a piece of paper. His voice was tearful as he said: "Early this morning before dawn, the second young master suddenly said that he was hungry and wanted to eat the roast goose from the Zhuangyuan Building in the north of the city. The young man was so happy that he thought the second young master had figured it out, so he hurriedly went there without stopping. I went to buy the land. Who would have thought...who would have thought that when I came back, I would find that the young master had disappeared. Only this piece of paper was left..."
"What!"
Mrs. Xi's whole body was shocked, and she quickly stepped forward to grab the letter.
I saw two big characters "Don't look for it" written in flying colors on the letter paper. It was indeed Xiao Qinyu's handwriting.
"Second brother, this is too disturbing."
Xiao Chongjing frowned and glanced at the handwriting on the letter paper, but he didn't take it seriously.
He looked at his mother and comforted: "Mom, don't worry, he is just having a temper. He is a grown man, what can happen to him? When he figures it out, he will come back..."
"Are you talking human language?"
Mrs. Xi said angrily, "Xiao Chongjing, I'll give you three days. If you don't get Qinyu back to me within three days, don't come back either!"
"And you!"
Mrs. Xi stared at Yin Xiaorou and said, "When Qinyu comes back, stay away from him! If I find you hanging him again, I will expose you!"
"Xiaorou doesn't dare."
Yin Xiaorou quickly agreed with red eyes. Then he and Xiao Chongjing quickly left the Qingshou Hall with their tails between their legs.
Xiao Qintang was also shocked by Xiao Qinyu's sudden disappearance. She felt guilty and quickly took advantage of Ruan Yunluo's excuse to sneak out together.
Sui Feng Garden.
Ruan Yunluo entered the room and sat down, looking at Xiao Qintang who followed him in strangely, "Is something wrong?"
"Uh-huh!"
Xiao Qintang nodded, squatted next to Ruan Yunluo's rocking chair with an expectant look on her face, grabbed her chair and asked, "Sister-in-law, is there any way you can help me?"
"How can I do anything?"
"You have it, you must have it!"
Xiao Qintang rocked Ruan Yunluo's rocking chair to show off.
"What's the use of begging me?" Ruan Yunluo laughed, "The key to this matter actually lies with you. As long as you really want to get married, who in the entire General's Mansion can stop you?"
"My mother. You see how angry she is today. She will definitely not agree."
"She is angry because she feels sorry for you." Ruan Yunluo patted the back of her hand meaningfully and sighed: "Actually, if we really want to compete, how can any parent in this world be able to defeat their children? As a mother, When my heart hurts, I compromise on everything.”
"Distressed?"
Xiao Qintang was stunned.
She lowered her head and thought about it, then suddenly her eyes lit up and she looked at Ruan Yunluo excitedly, "Sister-in-law, what do you mean, a hunger strike?"
