The Evil Mistress's Killing Crazy Daily
Chapter 56: Donating an official position to your brother-in-law out of kindness?
"Why are you suddenly speaking up for Lu Yitong? Have you known about this for a long time?"
"What!" Madam Xi looked at Ruan Yunluo in shock, "You knew this a long time ago?!"
"How should I know?"
Ruan Yunluo asked calmly, "Besides, how did I speak for Lu Yitong?"
"You still said no?"
Xiao Chongjing was unhappy, "People like Lu Yitong should have been killed directly. If you keep him, what if he really gets the job? Do you really agree to let Qin Tang marry him?"
"He is a scholar after all. You can kill him just like that. Aren't you afraid of something going wrong?" Ruan Yunluo asked back, "And if you kill him, what will happen to my third sister?"
"What should we do?" Xiao Chongjing said disdainfully, "Does she really dare to commit suicide?"
"I don't know whether she will commit suicide or not, but I am sure she will hate you for the rest of her life."
"She hates what she loves!"
Xiao Chongjing gritted his teeth, "Anyway, she can marry anyone, but she must not marry that Lu Yitong!"
"I didn't ask her to get married."
"What would you say if he gets the job?"
"Why would there be such a possibility?"
Ruan Yunluo looked at Xiao Chongjing in confusion, "You are a general after all, can't you handle such a small matter?"
"Correct!"
Old Madam 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, you must completely block Lu Yitong's path for me!"
"Ah."
Xiao Chongjing nodded.
He regained his sanity at this time and realized that as a general, he had plenty of ways to deal with a small juren.
Ruan Yunluo was right. Right now, the situation was so intense that it would be too eye-catching to kill a scholar. It would be better to wait a little longer. After this matter was over, there would naturally be thousands of ways to kill him!
With an idea in mind, everyone felt much more relaxed. At this time, Old Madam Xi suddenly thought of Xiao Qinyu.
"How is Qinyu now?"
Madam Xi took a sip of tea and looked at Xiao Chongjing strangely, "Isn't he at home? How come I didn't see him during such a big event today?"
"he……"
Speaking of Xiao Qinyu, Xiao Chongjing hesitated and shook his head guiltily, "I don't know."
"You don't know?!" Old Madam Xi raised her voice and questioned, "How many days have passed since I fainted? You don't even know whether Qinyu is dead or alive! What do you do for a living? You are so busy flirting with Yin Xiaorou that you don't even care about your own brothers and sisters, right?! If you keep going like this, you won't even care about my life or death in the future!"
"I'll send someone to look for it right away!"
Xiao Chongjing's face was flushed by what he said, and when he was about to go look for him, he suddenly heard Ruan Yunluo's voice beside him. She said, "No need, my second brother is fine."
"How is he now? Where does he live?" Old Lady Xi asked anxiously. "Is he doing well now?"
"He's... not fine."
Thinking of how Xiao Qinyu looked when he found him in his previous life, Ruan Yunluo sighed and said, "He has a house outside, where he spends the whole day drinking with his friends. He doesn't even want to go to the Imperial College, and he lives a very decadent life."
"what!"
Madam Xi was shocked.
Thinking about how her little son was now so alone and miserable, Old Lady Xi felt heartbroken and yet she couldn't help but feel angry.
She glared at Xiao Chongjing and gnashed her teeth, "Tell me, you've pushed your brothers into this state just for a woman! How dare you!"
"I..." Xiao Chongjing was embarrassed.
"What do you mean by 'I'?" Old Madam Xi was angry, pointing at Xiao Chongjing's nose and ordering, "Right now, go and bring Qinyu back to me yourself! If you can't bring him back, you don't have to come back!"
"I'll go right away."
"Wait." Xiao Chongjing was about to leave when he was stopped by Ruan Yunluo again.
She looked at Old Lady Xi and consoled her, "Mother, in my opinion, we should let Qin Yu calm down for a while. After all, the general and Miss Xiaorou just... He might feel even more uncomfortable when he comes back."
"What should we do? Should we just let him continue to be decadent like this?"
"Of course not." Ruan Yunluo smiled, "In fact, I was thinking about what happened with Lu Yitong just now. If my second brother could have an official position, wouldn't it be better? Maybe he would have something serious to do and be busy, and he wouldn't have time to worry about those trivial matters."
"Makes sense!"
Old Madam Xi's eyes lit up and she agreed very much with Ruan Yunluo's idea.
She looked at Xiao Chongjing with dissatisfaction, "Look at you! As a brother, you don't even have to worry about Yunluo, your sister-in-law!"
"But how can this position be so easy to get?"
Xiao Chongjing sighed, "If I don't take the imperial examination, I can only donate money to become an official, which costs a lot of money..."
"Then spend it!"
Madam Xi said in a decisive tone.
She knew very well that Xiao Qinyu had no interest in the imperial examination, and even if he studied for a few more years, it would most likely be a waste of time.
It would be better to take this opportunity to donate an official position to him directly, so that he doesn't have to go through so much hard work in studying.
"But this silver..." Xiao Chongjing hesitated.
He recently took over as housekeeper and found that the family finances were not as optimistic as he had imagined.
There are hundreds of people in this mansion. Just their food, drink, and defecation cost a lot of money every day. Add to that the expenses of entertaining and sending off guests, and there is not much left every month.
"Why, you're reluctant?" Old Madam Xi was dissatisfied.
"No." Xiao Chongjing shook his head and explained, "Mom, if it was just about donating an official position, it wouldn't be a big deal, but Qin Tang and Qin Yu have grown up in the past two years, and their weddings will require a lot of money..."
"What's there to worry about?"
Madam Xi curled her lips and glanced at Ruan Yunluo, "Over the years, Yunluo has already saved up their betrothal gifts and dowry. When the time comes, you just need to host a banquet and spend as much money as you can."
"Now, finding a way to get Qinyu 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 for a long time, 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 there is one, then there is one."
Ruan Yunluo smiled indifferently.
Anyway, when all his money is gone in a few days, he will know how powerful it is...
