"all."
Ruan Yunluo answered without hesitation. "And besides this, I need you to tell Yin Xiaorou one more past event."
"past?"
Tian Shuangshuang was stunned and looked at Ruan Yunluo curiously, "Madam, what happened in the past?"
"You get up first and then talk."
Ruan Yunluo asked Tian Shuangshuang to stand up and sit down, and then calmly recounted a past event ten years ago.
At that time, Xiao Chongjing was not yet a general, but he already had a small official position.
Occasionally one day, he was on the street and found someone reselling the soldiers' cotton clothes.
Xiao Chongjing immediately wanted to report it, but someone came to his door and gave him a dozen banknotes to convince him to shut up.
Because the Xiao family was short of money at that time, Xiao Chongjing compromised.
In the end, Ruan Yunluo realized something was wrong after receiving the money and encouraged him to report the matter.
Because of this, he was appreciated by Marshal Xu, and later he became a general step by step...
"General Xiao actually did such a thing." Tian Shuangshuang was dumbfounded. But at the same time, she was also confused, "Madam, why do you want me to tell Aunt Yin this?"
"Isn't the Xiao family short of money again?" Ruan Yunluo smiled, "I want to give her a reason."
Cage Smoke Pavilion.
After listening to Tian Shuangshuang's story, Yin Xiaorou frowned in disbelief, "Does he really think I'm a concubine?"
"Um."
Tian Shuangshuang nodded with certainty, "The general said that it would be fine if you could restore your identity, but you are just a concubine now and will be a stain on Prince Yu. Prince Yu will not recognize you in the future..."
"Eh? That's not right..." At this point, Tian Shuangshuang looked at Yin Xiaorou with curiosity, "Aunt Yin, what is your identity? Aren't you Prince Yu's maid?"
"none of your business?"
Yin Xiaorou was not angry.
She thought that if she offered to be Xiao Chongjing's concubine, she would receive his sincere treatment and full support.
Unexpectedly, all I got in return was contempt.
On the surface he was moved, but in fact he had been weighing her value.
He felt that her identity would never see the light of day, so he despised her. But he didn't want to think about the relationship between her and Wen Yu, who were like flesh and blood.
Even if she cannot see the light, because of her efforts, Wen Yu will still be good to her, her husband, and her children.
Her child will be Wen Yu's actual nephew!
And what about the Sixth Prince?
The sixth prince is just his aunt's son!
My aunt's son, huh, this relationship is already two levels apart.
What next? Not to mention.
When the next generation comes, his cousin's son is just a cousin in front of the Sixth Prince. What weight does he have?
Who in the right mind would take his cousin's nephew seriously?
Hey, idiot! No wonder it comes from a family of military commanders!
Suppressing the anger in her heart, Yin Xiaorou looked at Tian Shuangshuang, "He said he wanted to give a gift to Concubine Xi, right? How much did your wife give him?"
"How can our wife still have money?"
Tian Shuangshuang curled her lips and said, "You have only been a housekeeper for such a short time, but the house has become so poor. Madam has been a housekeeper for so many years, and the dowry may have been filled long ago... or she will no longer take care of the house?"
"Yeah?"
Yin Xiaorou nodded. No wonder Ruan Yunluo was so happy when he lost the power of the housekeeper. It turned out that he had no money...
That's good.
Without her interfering in the middle, Xiao Chongjing would naturally stop trying to please Concubine Xi as he had no money.
After a while, when he calms down, she will find an opportunity to point out the pros and cons, maybe...
"Aunt Yin, what are you thinking about?"
Tian Shuangshuang looked at Yin Xiaorou curiously, "Are you worried about the general?"
"ah?"
Yin Xiaorou was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Yes, of course I am worried about the general."
"What's there to worry about?"
Tian Shuangshuang curled her lips, "Since the general is a general, how could he be short of money? As an official, there are many ways to make money."
"You know quite a lot."
Yin Xiaorou responded nonchalantly.
"of course."
Tian Shuangshuang said proudly, suddenly looked around, then lowered his voice and said to Yin Xiaoju mysteriously: "My mother told me that ten years ago, when the general was not a general, he took over a Money..."
"Yeah?"
Yin Xiaorou's eyes lit up, and she suddenly felt that her previous plan was too conservative.
Maybe, she can try to take the initiative into her own hands...
"believe it or not."
Tian Shuangshuang curled her lips and held out her hands, "What about my benefits? As promised, one job and two benefits, don't try to fool me."
"how come?"
Yin Xiaorou was very satisfied with the news brought by Tian Shuangshuang. She smiled and was about to pull out the hairpin on her head...
"I don't want what you used."
Tian Shuangshuang frowned in disgust, "Forget it about the jade pendant, give me a second-hand hairpin... I want money, I want to buy new ones myself."
"……good."
Yin Xiaorou's smile froze.
She suppressed her displeasure and took out a piece of silver and handed it to Tian Shuangshuang.
"That's pretty much it."
Tian Shuangshuang took the silver like a treasure, shook it with satisfaction, turned around, and left happily...
Teahouse box.
Xia He was sitting on a chair, drinking tea quietly and listening to Yin Xiaorou's complaints.
When she was done complaining, he comforted her helplessly, "Actually, you chose him from the beginning just because you wanted him to be arrogant and brainless? You said that such a person is easy to control..."
"The key is that he doesn't obey my control now!"
Yin Xiaorou was furious.
She talks softly and does nothing all day long and endures all sorts of hardships. What’s the result? Even without saying anything, Xiao Chongjing was getting more and more out of control...
"There will always be a way."
Xia He drank tea leisurely and said, "If you are too soft, you will have to be tough. Didn't you say that he has accepted bribes? Since he can accept the first time, he will definitely be able to accept the second."
"Yes! That's why I'm looking for you!"
Yin Xiaorou said very confidently: "Although I am in a bad situation now, as long as we can grasp his handle, we can still control him."
"Do not worry."
Xia He nodded, "The chess pieces we laid out before will come in handy."
"I know."
Yin Xiaorou said, thinking silently for a while, and suddenly said: "Next time you come over and bring that thing to me, I might be useful."
"What do you want that for?" Xia He frowned in confusion, "You want to poison him? It's not to the point where everything is broken, right?"
"not him……"
"Who is that? Ruan Yunluo?"
"No..." Yin Xiaorou said helplessly, "Is she worthy of that one?"
"Then who do you want to use it for?"
"You'll know then."
