The Evil Mistress's Killing Crazy Daily

"That's a man, isn't it?"

"So what if he's a man? Can't men be friends?!" Xiao Qintang's face suddenly turned red and she shouted in retort.

"Of course you can, but the key is who he is. You follow him out every day, do you know him? What if he is a bad guy, what will you do?"

"Why don't I understand?!"

Xiao Qintang got anxious when she heard Ruan Yunluo questioning her friend. She started to talk about her encounter with Lu Yitong...

In fact, Ruan Yunluo had heard of this encounter in his previous life.

It is said that on the Double Ninth Festival a while ago, a little beggar broke into Maoer Lane and was caught by the city supervisor. According to the rules, the city supervisor must confiscate all the money the little beggar got in Maoer Lane.

Naturally the little beggar was unwilling to do so, so he knelt down and begged for mercy, saying that the money was for his mother's medical treatment and hoped that the municipal supervisor would let him go.

The city supervisor refused and said something like "this is not a place for people like you", which made passers-by very angry. At this time, a scholar named Lu Yitong stood up and not only said that Maoer Lane should be opened to beggars, but also paid the fine for the little beggar.

But he was short of money...

At this time, Xiao Qintang stepped forward and helped Lu Yitong to make up the money. And of course, Lu Yitong insisted on paying back the money...

After a few interactions, the two got to know each other.

It was just that their acquaintance in the previous life was a coincidence, but their acquaintance in this life was intentional by Ruan Yunluo.

On the Double Ninth Festival, she deliberately brought Xiao Qintang, who was confined to the Buddhist temple, with her. In fact, it was not only to let her see the joy of Xiao Chongjing and Yin Xiaorou, but also to avoid delaying the acquaintance of the two lovers.

However, Xiao Qintang knew nothing about Ruan Yunluo's "help". She was still immersed in the story of Lu Yitong bravely rescuing the little beggar, unable to extricate herself.

After the story was over, she finally looked at Ruan Yunluo, "So, sister-in-law, don't look down on others! Brother Lu is just from a poor family, but he is a scholar and so kind, how can he be a bad person?"

"Is he really that good?"

Ruan Yunluo agreed with surprise, but he disagreed in his heart.

There is a reason for the rule. The reason why beggars were not allowed to enter Maoer Lane was, on the one hand, to avoid upsetting the nobles, but on the other hand, wasn't it also to protect the beggars?

Ten years ago, a small incident happened in Maoer Lane - a beggar accidentally stepped on a young man's foot while begging for food, and was beaten to death in the street by the young man.

In theory, beating someone to death in the street is a crime punishable by beheading.

But that time, nothing happened and it passed without any disturbance.

Because the young man who beat people in the street was named Hua, and was Hua Weiwei's uncle and the current queen's brother. And because the man who was beaten to death was just a beggar.

No one would be so crazy as to think that the emperor's brother-in-law should pay with the beggar's life.

Even the beggars themselves don't dare to think so.

So from then on, the Municipal Detention Office issued an order that beggars were no longer allowed to enter Maoer Lane.

This is certainly an order that bullies the weak and fears the strong, but it is also an order that has to be given out of necessity.

As far as Ruan Yunluo knew, the director of the Municipal Supervision Office at that time was actually a very responsible official. After the beggar incident, he actively cooperated with the Dali Temple, hoping to seek justice for the beggar who died tragically, but how can an ant shake a tree?

So until now, he is still just a manager of the Municipal Supervision Office.

Xiao Qintang couldn't understand such things because he had no contact with the court, but as a juren, Lu Yitong should understand them.

If he doesn't understand, it can only mean two things. Either he doesn't have enough vision; or he is pretending not to understand, he has ulterior motives! ——There were many women on that day of the Double Ninth Festival. If you want to capture a woman's heart, being a hero to save the beauty or the weak is the best choice.

Forget about the idea of ​​a hero saving a beautiful girl. The women who can appear in Maoer Lane are all followed by a bunch of servants and maids. Ordinary people can't get close to them. Only a hero can save the weak. There is a little hope.

Look, I caught the fool Xiao Qintang.

She didn't even think about Lu Yitong, a poor scholar who couldn't even afford a beggar's fine. Why did he come to Maoer Lane to take advantage of the festival to find more connections and get himself a lucrative job?

That little bit of money was not even enough for him to buy a candied haws in Maoer Lane.

Even if he was just hanging out, why didn't he just borrow from his classmates when he didn't have enough money to pay the fine?

Even if his classmate wasn't there, he could ask for the address and then collect the money and go back to the general's mansion. What kind of talk is this, to ask a young lady to meet privately?

He clearly wants to use small bait to catch big fish!

Ruan Yunluo still had the same opinion of Lu Yitong in his previous life, but he pretended to be curious and looked at Xiao Qintang, "Aren't you afraid that he is approaching you deliberately for your identity?"

"How could that be?" Xiao Qintang quickly shook her head and looked at Ruan Yunluo with dissatisfaction, "Sister-in-law, don't always judge others by your own standards! In his mind, I am just a little maid in the general's mansion. He doesn't know my identity at all."

"Oh?"

Ruan Yunluo was surprised for a moment, then nodded in admiration. Looking at the glittering rain flower brocade on Xiao Qintang, she couldn't help but smile, "According to what you said, Mr. Lu is really a kind-hearted, upright, indifferent to fame and fortune, and a chivalrous and brave man?"

"Of course!" Xiao Qintang was proud of it and smiled with satisfaction. She happily took Ruan Yunluo's arm and whispered, "So, sister-in-law, not only should you not stop me from going out to meet Brother Lu, you should help me! Brother Lu is such a good person. If I get to know him more, I will definitely learn a lot of good things!"

"As long as you are willing, I have no objection, but..." Ruan Yunluo hesitated and looked at Xiao Qintang with some embarrassment, "It's just that I can't explain to your eldest brother."

"What is there to explain? He is not my father!" Xiao Qintang snorted coldly.

"But he's a general." Ruan Yunluo's face was full of worry. She reminded Xiao Qintang in a low voice, "Your brother Lu, he hasn't found a position yet, right?"

"Uh..." Xiao Qintang was speechless.

Who told you this is the capital?

There are more monks than porridge in the capital.

There are only a few lucrative positions in total, and there are not enough for the top three candidates and their relatives to share, so how can it be the turn of a juren?

Not to mention the lucrative positions, even the not-so-lucrative positions would not be his.

Those Jinshi candidates are still waiting eagerly...

"What should I do..." Xiao Qintang looked at Ruan Yunluo helplessly, hoping that she could give him a solution. But Ruan Yunluo shook her head, indicating that she was powerless.

In his previous life, Xiao Chongjing was willing to help Lu Yitong because Ruan Yunluo was vehemently opposed to his relationship with Yin Xiaorou at the time, and Xiao Qinyu was also angry about it... Xiao Qintang was the only one in the family who supported them, so he naturally sided with her.

But this time... it's too late for him to annoy Xiao Qintang...

So Ruan Yunluo was very curious, in this life, if Lu Yitong could not get the help of Xiao Chongjing, would he still be willing to support Xiao Qintang like in his previous life?
