Chapter 166 Too much pressure

This situation is not impossible.

It is not worth it for sister-in-law to be good to Qiuyue, but it is a question of whether she is worthy or not.

Xiao Jingshen really doesn't want to see his sister-in-law who is so good to him being stabbed in the back by the people around her, which hurts his heart.

If Qiuyue has any problems, they will make plans in advance, so that sister-in-law can escape Qiuyue's disaster.

After listening to Xiao Jingshen's words, Xiao Jingzhan's expression eased a lot,

as long as there is no problem around Zhu Xuntao.

Then, Xiao Jingzhan explained Qiuyue's situation to Xiao Jingshen:

"Qiuyue is an orphan, picked up by Zhu Lao and Taotao."

"If it weren't for the help of Zhu Lao and Taotao, Qiuyue would have starved to death on the roadside."

"Her life was given by Taotao, and they have known each other since childhood. She would never betray or hurt Taotao."

Because Qiuyue was picked up by Zhu Xuntao, Zhu Lao made the decision and asked the ignorant Qiuyue to sign a contract to sell her body.

Since then, Qiuyue has been by Zhu Xuntao's side, calling her "Miss, Miss" all day long, and treating Zhu Xuntao as her heaven, her land, and her only one.

Before, Zhu Yingyan wanted to plot against Zhu Xuntao, so she thought of controlling Qiuyue to control Zhu Xuntao.

Zhu Yingyan, who knew nothing about Qiuyue's origin, never thought that Qiuyue was just Zhu Xuntao's maid from the beginning to the end, and she had no relationship with the Zhu Mansion at all. Uncle

Qian's situation was somewhat similar to Qiuyue's.

In short, if the people in the Zhu Mansion wanted to catch Uncle Qian and Qiuyue to threaten Zhu Xuntao, I'm afraid they would not succeed.

The indentures of the two were in Zhu Xuntao's hands. If the Zhu Mansion dared to snatch them, it would be stealing people

. Zhu Xuntao could report to the government and let the government help him get the people back.

Unless Zhu Dingxing is willing to give up his skin as the Minister of Rites. Otherwise

, the Zhu Mansion must return the people to Zhu Xuntao in the same way as they took them away.

Although Zhu Dingxing wanted to be the Minister of Revenue, he was not sure that he could take the position of the Minister of Revenue

. How could he bear to be the Minister of Rites?

In the past, just for the opportunity to wear this official uniform,

he compromised and married Mrs. Sun, who wanted to be with him for life.

"A year ago, the only two people Taotao really needed were Uncle Qian and Qiuyue."

"Half a year ago, Taotao spent money to go to the government to cancel Uncle Qian's slavery and restore Uncle Qian's good status, leaving only Qiuyue."

It is not difficult to guess how important Qiuyue is to Zhu Xuntao. Now

, it is Xiao Jingshen's turn to be confused:

"Sister-in-law values ​​Qiuyue so much and treats Qiuyue very well."

"She is willing to restore Uncle Qian's good status, why doesn't she do Qiuyue's business together?"

It can't be because of favoritism, right?

"I guess it's Qiuyue herself who doesn't want to."

After all, he is Zhu Xuntao's bedmate, Xiao Jingzhan understands and puts the reason on Qiuyue herself,

"Qiuyue is just lucky. She met Zhu Lao and Taotao since she was a child."

"If she had a different master, Qiuyue wouldn't have the good life she has today."

"Many times, for people like Qiuyue, good relationships may not be the most important."

Following Zhu Xuntao, Qiuyue has another master.

If she regains good relationships, Qiuyue will probably panic and feel that she is the only one left in the world.

"Oh."

Xiao Jingzhan said this, and Xiao Jingshen understood,

"Brother, you understand your sister-in-law more and more."

"Brother, after getting married, is it really as happy as second brother said?" As

a single dog, Xiao Jingshen naturally couldn't understand the happiness of his two married brothers.

Every time Xiao Jingyu said this before, Xiao Jingzhan and Xiao Jingshen looked down on Xiao Jingyu, thinking that Xiao Jingyu was trying to deceive them.

Now, Xiao Jingzhan and Zhu Xuntao have been married for a few months, and

Xiao Jingshen has seen with his own eyes how the tenderness in Xiao Jingshen's eyes is getting deeper day by day.

So, are all the things Xiao Jingyu said before true?

Xiao Jingzhan used the words he used to deal with the prince to shut Xiao Jingshen up today:

"Good or not, happy or not, won't you know after you get married?"

"What other people are like, does it have anything to do with you?"

"Brother...sister-in-law always taught me not to be too arrogant."

"You will lose me if you talk like that."

Xiao Jingshen was stimulated by Xiao Jingzhan's words,

"Brother, do you believe that I will go to mother now and ask her to find a good wife for me?"

He is also a man, and he is not young anymore.

Now that the eldest and second brothers have started families, it should be his turn, right?

It's not just the eldest and second brothers who will get married, he will too!

By then, he will live a better life than the eldest and second brothers, making these two brothers jealous of him.

He and his future wife are the most loving couple in the mansion.

Xiao Jingzhan smiled coldly:

"Do you need me to ask someone to send you to mother?"

Xiao Jingshen: "... Big brother, you have already lost me as your brother."

No wonder sister-in-law always scolds big brother in her heart. Look, he can't stand his own brother.

Facts have proved that what sister-in-law said is right. Big brother is not a good person.

"Today, Minister Zhao upset the emperor, so the prince asked me to remind you to learn from your sister-in-law. The sooner you become a master, the better."

Even with the protection of the prince, Xiao Jingshen could not occupy a high position when he first entered the officialdom.

Being an official can only lay the foundation step by step and slowly rise up. Compared with others, Xiao Jingshen's starting point is no different on the surface.

The sooner Xiao Jingshen can learn from Zhu Xuntao, the sooner the prince can arrange for him to start as a minor official in a corner.

With the skills Zhu Xuntao taught Xiao Jingshen, it is not difficult for Xiao Jingshen to stand out.

If it is not two or three years, the prince can promote Xiao Jingshen to a position that everyone can see.

If Xiao Jingshen is luckier, with the help of Zhu Xuntao,

he can make great contributions to the court, then it is not impossible for him to replace Zhao Shangshu and become the Minister of Revenue within five years.

Hearing what Xiao Jingzhan said, Xiao Jingshen shrank his neck, with a trace of timidity on his face:

"Does the prince trust me so much?"

"Just give me five years. The prince believes in me, but I don't have that confidence myself."

"In the hundred years since the founding of the Yong Dynasty, I have not heard of anyone who can be promoted to the position of Minister of the Ministry of Revenue in just five years."

"How can the prince explain to the emperor if he does this?"

"Aren't we in the Yongjing Marquisate supposed to be low-key? Isn't this too high-profile?"

Hearing the prince's arrangement, things seemed quite simple.

But Xiao Jingshen was a man of experience, and he knew that things that his predecessors could not do, how could a young boy like him do it.

"Brother, don't tell me that you agree with the prince. If you do this, I will be very strong."
