The Evil Mistress's Killing Crazy Daily

Chapter 29 Only state officials are allowed to set fires

"Brother, since you are the governor who set the fire, why don't you allow us, the people, to light lamps?"

"You, you guys..." Xiao Chongjing looked at Xiao Qinyu in amazement, then at Xiao Qintang. Seeing them sneering at him and being indifferent, he felt a chill in his heart.

He suddenly felt that everything was meaningless.

All the life and death he had experienced on the battlefield for nearly twenty years turned to nothingness at this moment.

"Okay!" He nodded with trembling fingers, "Okay!"

"Since you said so, from today on, I won't care if you two set fires or light lamps as you please! But if you have the guts, don't use the power of my general's mansion to do anything! If I find out that you two are doing evil outside under my name, I will be the first one to not let you go!"

After saying that, he snorted coldly, without even looking at his younger brothers and sisters, and left with a flick of his sleeves.

"General~"

Looking at the direction he left, the servant hurried over and whispered, "This is the direction to Suifeng Garden. You still have to go on duty."

"Just say I'm sick."

Xiao Chongjing said coldly.

He went straight to Suifeng Garden, pushed aside the maid, kicked open the door, and went directly to Ruan Yunluo's room.

Ruan Yunluo was being served by Nanny Wan while she was washing up. When she heard the sound of kicking the door, she frowned and looked over. "General, why are you not on duty so early in the morning? Why are you coming to me in such a rage?"

"What do you mean by your place and my place?" Xiao Chongjing keenly sensed the unhappiness, "This is my home! I can be wherever I want!"

"General, are you here to quarrel with me?" Ruan Yunluo asked back expressionlessly.

She then looked at Nanny Wan, "Since the general doesn't like us, then we won't stay at his house. You pack up your things, and we'll go to the manor that I came with as a dowry and live there for a few days..."

"When did I dislike you?" Xiao Chongjing had a headache.

He didn't know what was wrong with him. Why did everyone come to scold him so early in the morning? He came here for business, why was he scolded again before he even finished his business?

"Isn't it time for you to calm down?"

Xiao Chongjing sighed and looked at Ruan Yunluo helplessly, "No matter how angry you are, you can ignore other things, but you should at least take care of Qinyu and Qintang, right? One of them is drinking and gambling, and the other is staying out all night. As the eldest sister-in-law, aren't you worried at all? You just watch and do nothing?"

"How can I manage it?" Ruan Yunluo asked in a strange way, "Not to mention that I'm still sick now. Even if I wasn't sick, could I still be in charge of my sister-in-law and brother-in-law?"

"You brought them up, how can you not make the decision?" Seeing that Ruan Yunluo refused to give in, Xiao Chongjing became impatient and couldn't help but start to find fault. "Besides, don't you have any responsibility for the way they are now? How did you raise them from childhood to adulthood? How did you raise them to be like that?!"

"General, how can you blame the lady for this?!"

Nanny Wan looked at Xiao Chongjing in disbelief, unable to believe that he could be so shameless. "Why are the Second Young Master and the Third Young Miss like this now? Others may not know, but you still don't know?! When the Madam was a little strict with the two young masters when they were young, you and the old lady would tell the Madam not to interfere. Have you forgotten now?!"

"Nonsense, when did I not let my wife interfere?!" Xiao Chongjing's face darkened instantly when he saw that a mere servant dared to question him, "Madame Wan, don't just rely on the fact that you nursed the master when he was a child and don't distinguish between superiors and inferiors! If you continue to be so arrogant, your wife won't be able to protect you!"

"I dare not, I am just feeling sorry for Madam!"

After all, Nanny Wan is an elder in the mansion, the wet nurse of the two masters, and a close friend of Ruan Yunluo. For so many years, she has always held a high position in the mansion, but recently she has lost face twice in a row. It's really...

Her face flushed instantly, but she still said calmly, "Every time Madam asked the Third Young Miss to study, you and the old lady said that it was useless for girls to study, and that it was enough to let her be happy. Every time Madam taught the Second Young Master to be sensible, you and the old lady said that these things were taught by the master, and Madam was just a woman, so she only needed to make sure he was well fed and clothed, and not to interfere in other matters."

"General, you said all of these yourself, and Madam has followed your instructions one by one. Now you blame Madam for not educating the two masters well. Don't you think..." Facing Xiao Chongjing's sharp gaze, Madam Wan lowered her head again, gritted her teeth and continued, "Don't you think you are too harsh on Madam?"

"Did I give you face?" Xiao Chongjing looked at Nanny Wan with a gloomy face and said in a grim tone: "Is it your turn to butt in on the matter between me and the Madam?"

"I know my mistake."

Nanny Wan felt a chill in her heart and was about to kneel down immediately.

"What did you do wrong? You were just telling the truth." Ruan Yunluo held Nanny Wan and patted the back of her hand to comfort her. "Don't worry, the general is not a petty person. He won't lose his temper just because of a few words of truth."

"Right, General." She said, looking at Xiao Chongjing with a smile.

Xiao Chongjing glanced at Ruan Yunluo unhappily, but finally waved his hand and did not pursue the matter any further.

He was in no mood to stay any longer, so he stood up and, regardless of whether Ruan Yunluo was willing or not, he said in a commanding tone: "I have something else to do. I'll leave my second brother and third sister to you. I'll give you three days. If they still don't change after three days, I'll hold you accountable!"

Ruan Yunluo thought about it and felt that since Xiao Chongjing was asking for trouble, there was no reason for her not to accompany him. So she smiled and agreed.

After seeing Xiao Chongjing off, she went straight to the Bamboo Garden.

"Why are you here?" Xiao Qinyu was drunkenly dancing with a sword in the bamboo forest. Seeing Ruan Yunluo, he threw away his sword in disappointment, "Did he ask you to come?"

"Yes and no."

"Why? Anything else?"

Xiao Qinyu glanced at Ruan Yunluo, then lay down on the steps and started drinking again without much concern.

In his heart, Ruan Yunluo was just a poor good wife and mother who could only manage the household and take care of people. She came this time to persuade him not to drink and gamble, to listen to his elder brother, and not to always think about Miss Xiaorou...

But unexpectedly, Ruan Yunluo opened his mouth and said, "Second brother, let's cooperate."

"Cooperation?" Xiao Qinyu finally looked at Ruan Yunluo. He sneered and said with a bit of amusement: "How to cooperate? Why should I cooperate with you? Why do you cooperate with me?"

"Because of Miss Xiaorou."

Looking at Xiao Qinyu's suddenly changed face, Ruan Yunluo said calmly: "After all, she is just a young girl who has no idea what it means to be devoted to a man who is more than ten years older than her, nor does she know what it means to be a concubine. I don't want her to ruin her life like this..."

Ruan Yunluo looked at Xiao Qinyu, "You don't want that either, right?"

"But she is willing, what can I do?" Xiao Qinyu said half helplessly and half tentatively.

"You have!" Ruan Yunluo looked at Xiao Qinyu with a smile, "Whether their relationship can succeed depends on you. I'm not like you. I don't have anyone to support me, but you have!"

"You mean...my mother?"
