The Evil Mistress's Killing Crazy Daily

"Then why didn't you remind me earlier!"

Xiao Chongjing questioned him bluntly.

"How do I know you don't know this?"

Behind the bed curtains, Ruan Yunluo leaned against the headboard and rolled his eyes, "Besides, you never told me the true identity of Prince Yu, how could I remind you?"

Xiao Chongjing: "..."

Xiao Chongjing: "Then you should persuade me later."

"You are the head of the family. You have your own reasons for your decisions. How can I argue with you casually?" Ruan Yunluo said aggrievedly, snapping his fingers in boredom. "I thought you were going to bet on both sides, or simply turn to support Prince Yu..."

"I……"

Xiao Chongjing wanted to cry but had no tears. He covered his forehead and thought Ruan Yunluo was stupid. "Even if I bet on both sides, I would not choose him! He is a person who came back from the northwest. Not only is he young, but he has no foundation in the palace, outside the palace, or in the court. Am I crazy to bet on him? I have my own aunt and my own cousin. Why would I bet on him?"

"Then why did you send him to the palace?"

"I……"

Xiao Chongjing took a deep breath and pounded his forehead hard, regretting it so much that he wanted to pound his brains out.

"So you don't want to support him?"

Ruan Yunluo looked as if she had suddenly realized something. "I thought you were going to help the siblings in order to repay Miss Xiaorou for saving your life. Besides, you and Miss Xiaorou are truly in love. In front of true love, what does an aunt mean..."

"You are confused!"

Xiao Chongjing was angry, "It would be fine if Xiaorou could regain her status. If she becomes the eldest princess in the future, the entire Xiao family will be able to benefit from it. But she is just a concubine now! Even if Prince Yu becomes the eldest princess in the future... he will never recognize a concubine as his sister! She will even become a stain on him..."

"But you are in true love, does true love have to care about these things?" Ruan Yunluo curled her lips and asked in confusion. "Besides, she saved your life, shouldn't you repay her for this kindness?"

Xiao Chongjing: "...Don't mention those four words again..."

Ruan Yunluo: "Which four words? Life-saving grace?"

"shut up!"

Xiao Chongjing gritted his teeth in anger.

He took a deep breath and angrily scolded, "How old are you? You still keep talking about true love and gratitude for saving my life. Don't you think this is ridiculous? Do you think you are still young?"

"But didn't you say that yourself?"

Behind the bed curtains, Ruan Yunluo rolled her eyes in grievance, "I just think what you said makes sense... and after this serious illness, I think these words make even more sense! We shouldn't be so materialistic and realistic. We should be grateful, loving, and embrace the beauty..."

"Alright, alright, you can hug me later."

Xiao Chongjing raised his hand impatiently, stopping Ruan Yunluo's emotional outpouring, "You don't have to think about anything else now, just think of a way for me to eliminate the rift between the Xiao family and Concubine Xi."

"method?"

Ruan Yunluo thought about it, then asked with a smile, "Is it okay to give a gift?"

"Of course you can. But over the years, I have been in the northwest most of the time, and my mother has basically stayed in Puyu Mountain. You are the only one in the family who has had much contact with Empress Xifei. You have to tell me what she likes, so that I won't waste my efforts."

"Do I even need to ask?" Ruan Yunluo answered without hesitation, "Kui-inlaid headpieces, ivory carvings, Suzhou embroidery, as long as they are beautiful, exquisite, and expensive, just buy them. Concubine Xi likes them all."

"No, there's nothing cheaper?"

When Xiao Chongjing heard what Ruan Yunluo reported, his heart bled.

"With Concubine Xi's status, would she like cheap things?" Ruan Yunluo asked back. "Concubine Xi has seen all kinds of good things in the palace. Can you give her cheap things? Even if you can give her something, Concubine Xi won't like it. It's better not to give it to her."

“Expensive doesn’t mean good.”

Xiao Chongjing was unwilling to accept this, "Besides, a gift is a token of thought, how can the price be so important?"

"General, do you want to eliminate the rift or expand it?"

Behind the bed curtains, Ruan Yunluo sneered.

This Xiao Chongjing is so self-righteous.

He was self-righteous in front of Yin Xiaorou, he was self-righteous in front of her, and he even wanted to be self-righteous in front of Empress Xifei...

Because they were women? That was why he didn't take any of them seriously?

No wonder he is still wondering if Yin Xiaorou did it on purpose...

Shaking his head, Ruan Yunluo said to Xiao Chongjing: "Although Concubine Xi is only two years older than you, she is no longer a little girl. She has been in the palace for so many years. You want to fool her with some small things? Do you think she is stupid?

Keep those cheap gadgets of yours and give them to Xiaorou. You two are true love and she should be very happy.

As for Concubine Xi... for her, apart from the tangible benefits such as money, status, fame and fortune, other so-called thoughts are not worth mentioning. If you really want to send a token of your thoughts, you can attach a letter, but remember, it cannot be just a letter. "

"Then..." Xiao Chongjing gritted his teeth, "Can we just send the things over? Will Concubine Xi still be bothered by it?"

"As long as you keep your distance from Prince Yu, it shouldn't happen."

Ruan Yunluo smiled, "Didn't you say that yourself? After all, Prince Yu came back from the northwest and has no roots in the capital. As long as you don't get involved, he will pose no threat to Concubine Xi."

"and……"

Ruan Yunluo smiled even more brightly, "Besides, she doesn't know the relationship between Prince Yu and Miss Xiaorou, so there's no reason to hold on to her."

"That's good."

Xiao Chongjing breathed a sigh of relief.

But then, he remembered that he had no money.

After thinking for a while, he looked at the bed curtains, "Yunluo, you know the situation in the mansion. There is no money left in the palace... The New Year is coming soon. There are hundreds of people in the mansion, not to mention the monthly salary, festival money, relatives' greetings and gifts from colleagues... There are places to spend money everywhere. Where can I get some money for Concubine Xi?"

"You have no money in your private vault?"

"Most of it was spent on Concubine Xi's birthday."

"What about mother?" Ruan Yunluo reminded, "Ten thousand taels of silver, it shouldn't be difficult for mother to get it, right? Mother has been staying in Puyu Mountain for so many years. Not only does she have a salary, but she also has no place to spend money. She should be able to save a lot of money. Add to that her dowry..."

"are you crazy!"

Hearing that Ruan Yunluo was actually planning to take advantage of Old Madam Xi, Xiao Chongjing's eyes widened in shock, "You actually want to take my mother's salary and dowry?"
