Chapter 282: Weird Mother-in-law and Daughter-in-law



Today was quite unexpected. Zhao Qiucui did not eat or drink much, but just glared at Qiuyue who was eating and drinking with dissatisfaction.

That's right, Qiuyue was sitting at the table, holding a chicken leg in her left hand and a wine jug in her right hand, eating and drinking at the same time, looking very comfortable.

"Master Yue is back, please sit down and eat with us!" Qiuyue greeted him like a hostess.

Zhao Qiucui never expected that her proposal would bring back a ghost. She had seen shameless people before, but she had never seen such a shameless person, who came directly to the door without waiting for the other party to marry her.

But Qiuyue was very discerning. Not only did she eat the food herself, she also fed Yue Hongcai, which made this fool keep grinning like a fool, and Zhao Qiucui dared not say anything to get angry.

Yue Xian didn't know where to sit.

It would definitely be inappropriate to sit next to Qiuyue, sitting next to Yue Hongcai would seem a bit of an eyesore, and sitting next to Zhao Qiucui would make one afraid of being beaten.

"Father-in-law, please sit next to my mother-in-law!" Qiuyue said.

Nothing has happened yet, but the father-in-law and mother-in-law are calling...

Yue Xian was a little embarrassed, but he had to sit down. In order to avoid being beaten, he took a pork elbow and handed it to Zhao Qiucui.

Zhao Qiucui was stunned. This was the first time Yue Xian offered her food since they got married.

Yue Xian: I have to have a chance to pass it to you. When you eat, your hands are always full. Where should I pass it to? Where do you want me to pass it to? Although Qiuyue came uninvited, Zhao Qiucui liked her a little bit at this moment. After all, which woman doesn't like the feeling of being pampered?

The meal was a joyful one.

But before they had finished eating, someone came to report that someone from Prince Jingnan's palace had arrived.

Yue Xian's calves were trembling.

Are they going to kill him or cut him into pieces? Are they going to exile him to Ningguta?

Zhao Qiucui didn't understand what was going on, and pretended to say to Qiuyue, "Our family is not an ordinary family. Even the Jingnan Palace has to give us some face!"

Zhao Qiuyue quickly put down the chicken leg in her hand, then pulled Yue Hongcai's sleeve and shook it a few times, then sat up straight.

As soon as the people from Prince Jingnan's Mansion entered the door, Zhao Qiucui's face fell.

Since Su'er came to Tongcheng, she has been watched by many young masters. Her aloof and charming temperament is unique to girls in Tongcheng. Not only young masters, but also ladies from various families have secretly watched her.

Zhao Qiucui was well aware that her husband had that problem.

Although they always quarreled and fought, she was just unhappy that Yue Xian was hanging out with other women.

Moreover, when Su Er saw Yue Xian, she asked mysteriously, "Can I have a word with you?"

Yue Xian was terrified, "But...I can..."

Zhao Qiucui almost bit her teeth to pieces, but she didn't dare to speak, and couldn't speak. Qiuyue was already so arrogant, she couldn't lose face in front of Qiuyue.

Yue Xian brought Su'er to the flower hall, and saw Su'er smiling and said, "Mr. Yue, what happened that night was a misunderstanding."

Misunderstanding? She had tied that man up, and she was still cursing him for selling out the official post. Is that a misunderstanding?

Yue Xian looked at her suspiciously.

Su Er smiled sincerely, "Sir, you paid a deposit of 50,000 taels, right?"

"No!" Yue Xian shook his head decisively.

Can he admit this? If he admits it, he will be sent to jail. He is not stupid!

"How is that possible? He clearly said that he received your deposit!" Su'er looked surprised.

"He's talking nonsense!" Yue Xian said firmly.

Su Er had no choice but to turn around and walk out, muttering as he walked: "He clearly said that he had received the deposit, but forgot what official he wanted to buy, so he asked me to ask clearly before collecting the final payment!"

Final payment? Usually it is collected after the matter is completed!

Yue Xian looked at Su'er walking out of the door in bewilderment, feeling very uncomfortable. He wanted to ask but didn't dare to, fearing that she was setting a trap for him.

But the fifty thousand taels was the deposit that someone gave him. If the money was gone and the job was not done, wouldn't he have to return the money? What you worry about will come true.

The next morning, he was blocked at the entrance of the academy and asked whether the purchase of the official position had been successful.

"Not yet, don't worry, wait a little longer."

"If it doesn't work, just return the money to me! I'll find someone else!" the man said angrily.

"It can be done! It can be done! It's being done and the deposit has been sent!" Yue Xian could only lie.

But there's no point in dragging this matter out. I guess they'll come back again in a few days.

It never rains but it pours.

That night, Mo Liao came again.

Nothing else, just money.

Yue Xian was almost driven to the edge by them! He simply made up his mind and decided to go and ask.

While waiting outside the Jingnan Palace, Yue Xian's calves were trembling and he felt like he was turning himself in.

Fortunately, Su Er still smiled so sincerely, "Mr. Yue, do you want to talk to me about something?"

"Yes, yes, yes..." Yue Xian's voice was trembling, "The girl said the other day that she wanted to collect the final payment..."

"Didn't you say you didn't pay the deposit?" Su'er looked at him with a smile.

"I...I...I paid..." Afraid that Su'er wouldn't believe him, he added, "It's a silver note, 50,000 taels..."

"It's you!" Su'er said, patting his shoulder.

This slap almost killed Yue Xian, but luckily she said, "Grand Commander of Ping'an County, you should prepare the final silver. Hand over the silver in one hand and the official seal in the other."

Yue Xian couldn't believe his life. He actually did it?! He had agreed with the man that it would be done with 800,000 taels, and he could make 200,000 taels in the middle! And after this success, he would no longer have to sell those small officials of the ninth and seventh ranks, and no longer have to make a few thousand taels a few thousand taels. He could just make 200,000 taels right away! What a qualitative leap! He was so excited that he only thought of a question when he reached the entrance of the academy.

What is Ping'an County? How come I have never heard of it? ! Fortunately, the person who tried to buy the position from him was ignorant. When he heard that the position of Grand Commander was successfully bought, he was so happy that he quickly brought the silver.

When Yue Xian got the official seal, he was a little bit unbelieving.

Those minor officials didn't have official seals, so he wasn't very sure.

But it's definitely not polite to ask someone if it's true or not. What if things go wrong? How can we cooperate in the future? "Mr. Yue, if you need this job again, just come to me! From the first-rank officials to the ninth-rank officials, I can handle it!" Su Er patted his chest and said.

Yue Xian was so happy that he forgot to ask where Ping'an County was.

Well, who cares! Anyway, the money is in hand! But he certainly can't give it all to Mo Liao!

So he took a silver note of fifty thousand and handed it over to Mo Liao.

Although Mo Liao was not very satisfied, grasshoppers are still meat!

"Mr. Yue, keep up the good work!" Mo Liao patted his shoulder with satisfaction.

Yue Xian raised the corners of his lips. Keep up the good work, that's for sure! Who thinks money is too hot?
