It turned out that the eunuch from Chunmanyuan came to the Song Mansion to report that Song Shaoheng had fought with someone for a woman inside.
He knocked out two of the other person's teeth and broke his leg. Now the man wants Song Shaoheng to pay him one thousand taels of silver, otherwise he will sue Song Shaoheng to the government!
After hearing what Madam Liang said, Qian felt dizzy!
"Why would Shaoheng go to a place like that? And why would he hit someone?" Qian gasped and let Madam Liang help her breathe. Her eyes rolled as she realized the key point. "It must have been that idiot Chu who did it!"
Nanny Liang from the Chu family also sent someone to inform them. As soon as she stepped into the yard, she heard her mother-in-law scolding her, and she could only cry in grievance.
"Mom! I didn't! I never thought that he not only went to that kind of place but also beat someone up!" As soon as Chu arrived, she started crying in front of Qian.
Qian was not at all embarrassed about being heard saying bad things. Instead, she grabbed Chu and scolded her again.
It was not until Qian asked Madam Liang to withdraw one thousand taels from Duke Zhong's account that she realized Duke Zhong had very little money left.
She felt like she was being roasted on a fire. Not only was her youngest son so useless, but he also caused trouble for the family. But she couldn't bear to punish him!
What should I do if I can’t come up with the money now?
"Mom, don't we still have my sister-in-law? She has money!" Chu's words solved Qian's urgent problem.
This was the first time Qian smiled at her today.
The news that Song Shaoheng went to a brothel and beat someone up for a prostitute spread throughout the Song family.
Song Tingyue also hurried over, but when he heard that the other party would only let Song Shaoheng go if he paid 1,200 taels of silver, he became furious.
The family expenses were all supported by him alone, and he only had a hundred taels in his account. Where would he get the money to compensate Song Shaoheng?
"Yue'er, you're finally here! Go tell Chi to give you one thousand taels of silver, okay?" Seeing Song Tingyue was in a dilemma, Qian was about to kneel before him, "Consider this as your mother's plea! You can't just stand by and watch your brother die! He's your only brother!"
Seeing this, Chu also knelt down in front of him and cried and begged Song Tingyue to save Song Shaoheng's life.
How could Song Tingyue let Qian kneel down to him? This would be like asking for lightning to strike him and shorten his lifespan!
He helped Qian up and asked Chu to stand up as well.
"How can Shaoheng be so unreasonable!" Song Tingyue was so angry that he punched the table, causing a crack in it.
Chu was so frightened that she didn't dare to say a word. She didn't dare to say that she had something to do with Song Shaoheng's departure from the house.
Just when they were getting anxious and angry, Chi Yunzhi and Yuerong walked over quickly.
"Husband, I heard that something happened to my brother-in-law?" Chi Yunzhi asked Song Tingyue, who was anxious and angry.
"Yeah." Song Tingyue was a little hesitant to speak when he thought about asking a woman to borrow money to save his brother.
Even if this woman is his newlywed wife.
"Yunzhi, Yunzhi, you're here at the right time! Take out one thousand taels of silver and go to Chunmanyuan to rescue Shaoheng, so that he can go home! He is young and ignorant, and this may be someone else's fault!" Qian originally disliked Chi Yunzhi, but now she is the richest person here, so she grabbed Chi Yunzhi's hand.
When Qian saw Chi Yunzhi, she felt like she had seen a savior and refused to let go of Chi Yunzhi's hand no matter what.
When Song Tingyue heard his mother say so bluntly that Chi Yunzhi should use money to save Shaoheng, his face became very angry!
He became increasingly dissatisfied with his younger brother!
"Yes, Yunzhi! Shaoheng is still waiting for you to save him!" Chu also pleaded, tears in her eyes, looking pitiful.
Chi Yunzhi was almost laughed out of anger by these two people, but she couldn't laugh at the critical moment!
"Yuerong." Chi Yunzhi took a box from Yuerong and handed it to Song Tingyue, "My husband, here are 1,000 taels of silver. Go to Chunman Garden and save your brother-in-law."
When Song Tingyue met her watery eyes, ripples began to form in his heart, and it felt like a feather was gently brushing against him, making him feel itchy.
He thought about how he had embarrassed her on their wedding night and how he had never spoken to her properly, but now she came to him with 1,000 taels of silver to save her!
How could he not feel guilty?
When he took the wooden box, his fingertips accidentally touched her fingertips, and a tingling sensation spread throughout his body.
When Qian saw the silver inside, she was overjoyed and said that Chi Yunzhi was sensible and acted like an eldest sister-in-law.
Chu also joined in.
"Go quickly, don't let your brother-in-law suffer." Chi Yunzhi gently pulled his sleeve and urged in a low voice.
Song Tingyue felt as if his face was burning with fire, and the box in his hand felt as heavy as a thousand pieces of gold.
"Well, wait for me at home." Song Tingyue blurted out subconsciously, and his face turned red when he reacted.
He didn't dare to look into Chi Yunzhi's eyes, turned around and left in a hurry.
"Logically, you should call me sister-in-law." Chi Yunzhi's sudden words made Chu's face freeze.
Chu called out "sister-in-law" in a weak voice.
"Mom, it's not a good idea for my brother-in-law to continue like this. Why don't we let Ting Yue see if there are any vacant positions in the camp in a few days?" Chi Yunzhi suggested.
Qian's temper, which had just relaxed, was stirred up again by Chi Yunzhi's words.
Her face immediately turned cold. "I will teach my own son myself! Shaoheng has suffered too much. I don't want him to go to the camp again. There is no need to talk about this anymore!"
Chu originally thought that Chi Yunzhi's proposal was very good, but when she heard what Qian said, she gave up.
"It's natural for mother to feel sorry for her brother-in-law, so I won't say much. Mother just said that she wanted me to be the manager of the household, but I refused disrespectfully." Chi Yunzhi felt it was a little ridiculous when she saw Qian's evasive look.
"Give the key to this mansion to my daughter-in-law today." Chi Yunzhi said again.
Qian was dumbfounded. She had just been polite in the morning and had never thought of really handing over the power of housekeeper!
"Chi, you don't know that being a housekeeper is hard work and sometimes thankless. Mother didn't let you take charge so early because it's for your own good." Qian's eyes rolled around and she pretended to be distressed as she sat down on a chair beside her.
"Since the housekeeper works so hard, mother should just let go and enjoy family happiness after having a daughter-in-law." Chi Yunzhi said with a smile.
Qian hesitated and stopped talking. She felt very depressed.
"When my brother-in-law comes back, let Tingyue tell him that this money is lent to him by me as his sister-in-law. No matter whether I am the head of the family or not, he has to pay me back." Chi Yunzhi bowed slightly, turned around and left.
Qian was so angry that her face turned blue. She pointed at Chi Yunzhi's back with trembling hands and was so angry that she couldn't speak.
When Chi Yunzhi and Yuerong returned to Piaoxiangyuan, Lanxiang and Juye immediately surrounded them.
They heard Zhuyin talk about Song Shaoheng, and their young lady even sent money over.
"Young lady, you are so kind! Who knows if Qian and the son-in-law will accept this favor?"
"Yes, Tingyue knows everything." Chi Yunzhi was tired for a long time and finally had time to sit down and drink some hot tea.
