Chapter 113 A Second Brother
"Someone reported you for smuggling salt, so we came to check it out."
"It's okay to check, but you can't ruin things!" Erya couldn't help but speak, she was so angry that tears were about to come out.
Yun Ting looked at Xiao Lajiao, whose eyes turned red, and teased her, "If you beg me, if you beg me, I will help you deal with them."
Erya glanced at him, then suddenly reached out and pushed him, saying viciously, "Get out of the way!"
Yun Ting: "...Why can't you tell the difference between good and bad people? Forget it, forget it, I'll help you first and scold you later."
He identified himself to the yamen runner.
Unexpectedly, the yamen runners didn't buy it.
"Third Young Master, we are just doing our job. We hope you will forgive us if we have offended you."
"What errand are you doing?" Yun Ting roared. "I think you're here to cause trouble."
"Third Young Master, you must have evidence when you speak!"
Lu Qiniang took a deep breath, suppressing her anger. She walked up to the yamen runner and whispered, "I was too loud just now. Big brother, please forgive me. I'm just a small business, how dare I touch contraband salt? Big brother, just check it out, it's just a small token of my respect. Big brothers, please buy me a pot of wine."
She calmly stuffed two taels of silver into the yamen runner's hand.
"No, it's just a routine matter—"
Lu Qiniang hardened her heart and stuffed another two taels into her mouth.
The yamen runner weighed the silver in his hand and gave the other two a look, "That's it, we're done. Let's go to the next one."
They went to the wonton shop next door.
The wonton shop owner immediately wisely spent some money to avoid disaster.
Lu Qiniang felt complicated, but still breathed a sigh of relief.
She said to Xiao Yan as if nothing had happened, "It doesn't look like it's targeting us, that's good."
Xiao Yan patted her shoulder gently.
Lu Qiniang seemed to be comforting herself: "There's nothing we can do, it's all the same. We've made some money, so it's okay..."
But as she spoke, she lowered her head and had a brief burst of negative emotions: "Why doesn't anyone take care of them! Why doesn't the emperor punish them!"
Lu Jin couldn't sit still anymore.
Even if the king of heaven comes now, he has to run away quickly.
Otherwise, if you hear something you shouldn’t hear, should you tell the emperor or not?
Lu Qiniang then remembered that he hadn't left yet, and hurriedly reminded him, "This is all common business, nothing serious. Don't tell Master Li, he's not in good health and has to worry about us."
Lu Jin nodded and left quickly.
It is impossible not to tell the emperor.
He is called a lackey every day. If he can't even be loyal, then there is no point for such a lackey to exist.
Only if the henchmen are loyal to their masters can they have a good ending.
"Her family is too unreasonable." After hearing this, the emperor really spoke up for Lu Qiniang.
Lu Jin hurriedly said: "Do you need my humble servant..."
"Forget it." The emperor waved his hand. "This is a family matter. Let Qi Niang handle it herself. If we outsiders say anything too serious or too light, we might even end up making things worse."
This is the reason why it is said that even a fair judge cannot judge family disputes.
"...If you abandon your mother and decide to sever your ties with her in the future," the emperor said after a moment's thought, and suddenly cast his gaze on Lu Jin, "If I remember correctly, Lu Jin, your parents gave birth to three sons, but no daughters, right?"
Lu Jin's scalp tightened, "Your Majesty, yes."
"No matter how unkind the parents are, the world will only blame their children for being unfilial. I cannot bear to abandon my mother to such harsh criticism. If we really have to go through with the day of severing our ties, ask your mother to acknowledge her as her own daughter and say that she was previously fostered outside."
It would be best if even the blood relationship was severed.
How could Lu Jin dare to say no?
He knelt down to give thanks.
Today, Lu Qi's mother called him "Second Brother", and then he turned around and became her "dear Second Brother"?
The one the emperor points to is closer than a relative.
Lu Jin was a little confused at first, but then he thought that having such a sister didn’t seem like a bad thing, and he could even feel a little bit of anticipation.
He might be sick too. Let's go see Doctor Hu.
Lu Jin talked about the incident of Lu Qiniang's stall being smashed and explained the whole story.
"It seems the news that the Emperor wants to clean up the banknotes has spread. Other places don't know about it, but the people at the Beijing Grand Canal Banknote Office have started to go crazy and grab silver."
"Okay, okay," the emperor laughed in anger, "Lu Jin, send someone to keep an eye on him!"
No matter how much he eats, he has to vomit it out!
"Yes, I obey your order!"
Lu Qiniang felt that today was a bad day for everything, and she had to force herself to get ready and continue doing business.
Yun Ting is still going crazy there.
——Young Master has never seen such bullying.
"Don't stop me, I want to go home now, to find my grandmother!" He was furious.
"Come back quickly, thank you, this is considered a good thing today." Erya said upset.
Yun Ting stamped his feet, "Okay, okay, we've been together for so many days, haven't we? I'm leaving now!"
As he said this, he pretended to go home, but he was still thinking in his heart, if he went back like this, would his father think that he had succeeded?
He had said before that he would not go back unless he was invited.
Isn’t this a bit embarrassing?
So, why not just forget it?
He would just stay reluctantly until someone stopped him.
But no one paid any attention to him.
Xiao Yan couldn't be counted on anymore, he kept telling me to get lost...
Yun Ting couldn't help but look at Daya, whom he thought was the best person in the family.
But Daya was busy sorting the goods and didn't see him.
Seeing this, Yun Ting said loudly: "I'm leaving, I'm going home!"
"Oh," Daya looked up and said calmly, "Third Young Master, please walk slowly and be careful on the road."
Yun Ting: "Am I really leaving?"
Still no one paid any attention.
Yun Ting was so angry that he said, "Wait, wait until I get home and find someone to help you!"
You are unkind, but I am loyal!
He will make up for the loss of face here when he returns home and calls for help.
After he helps them vent their anger, he'll see if they still worship him!
Thinking of this, Yun Ting seemed to have gained strength, and walked towards his home with his head held high, after being away for several days.
