Zhou Shiyue looked at her angry expression and reached out to take the paper.

He looked at it and said, "If you don't pay it, the original owner will have to go to him, and in the end he will have to pay the five thousand taels himself."

After a pause, he continued, "But now it seems that Junior Brother Yin is sure that you will go and make the appointment. Tell me, have you spoiled them in the past?"

If she hadn't spoiled him, would the senior brother have been so confident in writing this?

Lu Zhaoling snorted.

"Before, the sect's money was all in my hands, and the senior apprentice's savings were also with me. They had no money to buy anything."

So, I did a lot of things to ask her for reimbursement.

Zhou Shiyue raised an eyebrow.

"I didn't expect that you, Lu Xiaoer, have such a strong desire to control money."

The palace's property will be handed over to her for sole management?

Zhou Shiyue's thinking is a bit divergent, and he has some private property outside. If he were to collect all the accounts and hand them over to her, it might take her ten days or half a month to look through the account books.

"Master brother doesn't care about money, okay?"

Lu Zhaoling said innocently, "His fate was to leak money. Once money came into his hands, it would always flow out in various forms..."

Eh, I wonder if the current senior apprentice would still be like this. She didn’t look closely just now.

Unlike her, she is extremely lucky. If silver falls into her hands, it will most likely make more money. Therefore, the eldest brother is cunning, not honest.

That's the only way he can save up a large sum of money.

wrong.

That was in the past! The senior brother's savings were in her hands in the previous life. In this life, he didn't have a single penny in her hands, so why did he give her the bill?

It was difficult for her to say this because Zhou Shiyue couldn't tell the difference between the past and the present.

She met Zhou Shiyue's gaze, which seemed to see through the truth.

Sure enough, I heard him ask, "Since all his money is with you, didn't you pay him for the house? Could it be that he didn't save much?"

Lu Zhaoling's expression was a little stiff.

"Haha, haha, isn't it? You only have a few copper coins saved, and you dare to ask for five thousand taels..."

Zhou Shiyue: Do you think I believe it?

They clearly looked like they were happily meeting each other and getting to know each other for the first time today.

It was obvious that she was extremely poor the day she arrived in Beijing. It was estimated that she didn't have even a single penny on her body, let alone a few coins.

Looking at Yin Yunting's appearance, he seems to be from a wealthy family and has the temperament of a scholar who studies hard. Then look at the paper, ink, and handwriting he uses. It would be impossible to cultivate such a style without spending two thousand taels a year.

If he already had such a senior disciple, would Lu Er have had to be in such a miserable state before?

"You can make it up." He folded the paper, "but make it more carefully, otherwise it will be full of loopholes and I won't be able to listen to it. Qinglin."

"My subordinate is here."

Qinglin came in quickly.

"Leave it to Uncle Yun and let him do it."

Zhou Shiyue handed the paper over. Qinglin took it and immediately responded, "Yes."

Only after everyone left did Lu Zhaoling react.

"You want to pay the five thousand taels?"

"I cannot bear to see you being so stingy because you are so stingy. It's just five thousand taels, isn't it? You are the senior sister, and I am also the brother-in-law of Junior Brother Yin. It is reasonable to give him a small house."

Zhou Shiyue spoke in a nonchalant tone, as if he was speaking casually, as if he was delivering a bowl.

Lu Zhaoling reached out and gently pulled his ear, suspecting that he had heard it wrongly.

"Wait, what did you say? Is he his brother-in-law?"

"Isn't it?" Zhou Shiyue asked back.

"Brother, he is twenty-five."

"What do you mean by big brother? You sound so chivalrous. If not, you can just call me brother Yue." Zhou Shiyue stood up and tapped her forehead lightly. "You don't judge by age, so what if he is a few years older than me?"

Brother-in-law is also brother-in-law.

"gone."

He took her hand and went out.

The matter of the ancestral temple has already spread to the palace.

The emperor was so angry that his illness was almost cured.

He was helped to the side hall, and he almost snorted when he saw Marquis Qingfu kneeling in the hall.

"Your Majesty, please have mercy on me. I am wronged!"

As soon as Qing Fuhou saw him, he burst into tears and kowtowed violently.

But when the emperor saw that he had his palms pressed to the ground and his head was hitting the backs of his hands, he became furious again.

Are you still trying to play tricks on him at this time?

He kowtowed and begged for mercy, and still knew to protect his forehead!

"Do you dare to say that you didn't do anything to the tablet of the retired emperor? Didn't you tie the silk thread on the tablet?" The emperor gritted his teeth.

I really feel so disappointed in you!

The last time he went to the ancestral temple, he saw the tablet had fallen down, and this time, he heard that the tablet had indeed fallen down at the beginning!

If Qingfu Hou was smarter, he could have made full use of it.

He respected the Queen Mother and was willing to let her do what she wanted for once. Moreover, Qing Fuhou had been targeted by the King of Jin last time, and helping Qing Fuhou would be like seeing the King of Jin unhappy, so he was still willing to do so.

But Qing Fuhou missed this opportunity.

Not only did he miss it, but he also did such a stupid thing, and was caught by King Jin again.

"Your Majesty, I am only anxious to save my son. I tied the thread, but I definitely did not tamper with the tablet!"

Qing Fuhou cried very sadly, he was so wronged.

"Even if I had a hundred guts, I would not dare to damage the tablet of the retired emperor, Your Majesty!"

He raised his head and cried, his eyes were red and swollen like kernels, which was a horrible sight.

Qing Fuhou was also a handsome man when he was young, but his blooming period was too short and he withered after he turned thirty.

Now he was crying like this with such a pair of eyes, it really hurt the emperor's eyes.

"So many people have seen the crack, and the silk thread is stuck in the crack, and you still say you didn't do it?" The emperor felt even more annoyed when he saw him like this.

"Even Duke Ying has testified, what else do you have to say?"

The emperor also knew that this matter was very serious. He had gotten over it in his heart, but that was also his father’s tablet!

How much trouble has Qing Fuhou caused for the Queen Mother over the years by relying on her favor?

"Your Majesty, I am wronged!"

Qing Fuhou really couldn't explain it clearly and could only keep crying out that it was unfair.

"The Queen Mother has arrived."

The sound coming from outside made the emperor really want to kill Qing Fuhou at this moment.

Here we go again, here we go again!

Every time something happened, before he could figure out how to deal with it, the Queen Mother would rush over to support Qing Fuhou!

"emperor."

The Queen Mother rushed in without waiting for an announcement. When she saw Marquis Qingfu kneeling in the hall, she felt that she had also lost face.

"Mother, aren't you feeling unwell? Why did you come here in person?" The emperor asked, controlling his temper.

"Your Majesty, look at what Qing Fuhou has become? He has already suffered, and your father's tablet has personally smashed him. I believe that any anger has subsided. Let's just leave it at that."

The Queen Mother said this, motioning to the people around her to help Marquis Qing Fu up.
