Chapter 185 Bringing her back from her mother's home
When Cheng Yunshuo heard that he was arrested for gambling again, his face was full of disdain and disgust. He pursed his lips and said nothing. Du Yang on the side became even more anxious.
"Brother-in-law, consider this as me begging you. A-Tai was really cheated this time. He didn't intend to gamble, but was tricked into being a pig. Now he really knows he's wrong. Now he's being tied up and beaten in the casino. Just help me this time, and I promise to take good care of him in the future!"
"How much money does he owe this time?"
"One thousand taels."
One thousand taels.
Cheng Yunshuo's brows were wrinkled to the sky.
To the Marquis's Mansion, one thousand taels was nothing, but the accounts of the Mansion were managed by his mother, Lu Lingyun, and if he went to withdraw money, they would see it.
Ever since the incident with Xing Dairong, Cheng Yunshuo didn't like to ask the government for money. His salary and some subsidies from the government were enough for his daily food and clothing.
Where can he get one thousand taels in such a short time?
"Yun Shuo! Please help us!" Du Yang begged again, "This time, I promise it will be the last time. If that brat A Tai dares to gamble again, I will break his legs!"
As Du Yang said this, he actually wanted to kneel down to Cheng Yunshuo.
Seeing this, Cheng Yunshuo jumped off his horse and grabbed Du Yang's hand.
"Forget it, I'll lend it to you."
Even though he was reluctant, he still chose to help them.
Cheng Yunshuo did not tell Lu Lingyun that he went back to the mansion to get the money. He changed his job and made new colleagues and friends in the Yulin Army. He borrowed 1,000 taels from his new colleagues to meet his emergency needs.
He is now a soldier in the army, and his monthly salary is ten taels of silver. Since Xing Dairong left, Qin has also paid him the monthly allowance of the Marquis's Mansion. He can pay him back one hundred or one thousand taels of silver a month slowly in the future.
After he scraped together a sum of 1,200 taels of silver, he followed Du Yang to the casino and redeemed Du Tai.
Cheng Yunshuo had a gloomy face throughout the whole process.
"Good brother-in-law, I knew you wouldn't ignore me." Du Tai looked at Cheng Yunshuo who rescued him with a flattering and happy face.
"You bastard, you still have the nerve to say that!" Du Yang kicked Du Tai on the butt and beat him hard.
"Brother! I was also deceived today."
"This has happened for the nth time! If you do it again, no one can save you!" Du Yang punched Du Tai hard.
Du Tai was beaten but didn't dare to say anything. Finally, Cheng Yunshuo spoke up and said, "Alright, let him go."
After Du Tai was rescued, he ran to Cheng Yunshuo and said, "Brother-in-law, I knew you were reliable! My sister marrying you is a blessing for our whole family!"
"Oh!" Cheng Yunshuo said coldly, "If you really care about your sister, don't gamble anymore! I won't pay for you a second time."
"I swear, I will never get involved in it again." Du Tai said sincerely.
Cheng Yunshuo was too lazy to even watch him swear, he turned over and was about to mount the horse, then Du Tai said again.
"By the way, Yun Shuo, Aruo has been living with her aunt recently. You can pick her up today."
Du Ruo has been at her mother's house these days.
"Okay." Cheng Yunshuo said.
Aunt Du Ruo's house.
Du Ruo ate with everyone.
"Aruo, when will you return to the Marquis' Mansion?" Du Ruo's cousin asked carefully.
"Do you dislike me?" Du Ruo's mind was becoming more sensitive now, not at all like before when she was eating and drinking at their house and was lazy to listen.
She used to live with her aunt for a long time, and whenever she did something, she would be looked at with disdain by her cousin's sister-in-law.
Before, she just pretended she hadn't seen it, and acted carefree and without any taboos, or ran back to her own brother's house to hide for a while.
But after marrying and becoming a concubine, one's mind can't help but become meticulous.
I can no longer ignore the looks from other people like I did before.
"No way, you just think too much." My cousin's wife laughed dryly.
"I think too much, or you are dissatisfied with me eating a few meals at your house!" Du Ruo put down his chopsticks.
"Aru, that's not what I meant. I just think that you are married now and can't always live in your parents' home."
"Stop talking like that. Don't think I don't know that you disliked me when I lived here before. You wanted to marry me off earlier. You just disliked me!" Du Ruo said angrily.
"That's impossible. Okay, okay, if A'ruo wants to stay here, you can stay here. No one will ever chase you away." Du'ruo's aunt hurriedly tried to smooth things over.
Hearing her mother-in-law’s partiality and deception, Du Ruo’s sister-in-law couldn’t help but frown. She whispered, “She is so arrogant after marrying into a marquis’s mansion. I don’t know if she thinks she is a mistress. She is so arrogant even as a concubine! There is no reason for a concubine to return to her parents’ home!”
When Du Ruo heard the muttering, she became furious and could not help but have an argument with her cousin's wife. The door of their room was pushed open.
"Ah Ruo, look who's here!"
"Aruo, the prince has come all the way to pick you up!"
When Du Ruo looked up, he saw Cheng Yunshuo coming back with Du Yang and Du Tai.
The moment she saw him, she couldn't help but blush.
"Going back?" Cheng Yunshuo looked at her and asked.
Du Ruo didn't say anything, she just stood up and threw herself into Cheng Yunshuo's arms.
When everyone in the room saw this, they all knew that Du Ruo was favored.
Everyone in the Du family stood up, chatting and laughing to please Cheng Yunshuo, and urging the two to reconcile.
"Aruo, you are such a fool, the prince cares about you so much, yet you are still so willful!"
"The prince treats you so well!"
"Follow the prince well in the future."
"Stop messing around."
Du Ruo felt both sour and sweet in her heart when she heard what everyone said. She followed Cheng Yunshuo out of the Du family, and the two of them rode back on the same horse.
The Du family members saw them off, and everyone looked at them with sparkling eyes.
They couldn't help but say.
"Aruo is still capable."
"Aruo is very spoiled!"
Du Ruo felt happy after hearing these words. She felt that Cheng Yunshuo still had her in his heart. She had previously thought that Cheng Yunshuo looked down on her brother, perhaps simply because her brother was not ambitious enough.
It must be like this.
But Cheng Yunshuo behind her didn't want to come to such a place anymore.
Du Ruo's family... one by one, made him increasingly disgusted and look down on them.
What kind of people are these?
At this time, he heard Du Ruo's voice in his arms, "Master, why did you come just now?"
After the soft, aggrieved and helpless voice fell, Cheng Yunshuo no longer thought about anything else.
"What's wrong?"
"You can't treat me like this in the future. You can't send me back to my parents' home. You don't even know how I live there. I look forward to your coming every day."
How could Cheng Yunshuo listen to this? His heart softened immediately. Then he looked at Du Ruo's young age and thought that he had done it before. "I won't do it again next time."
"real?"
"Well, I won't make you angry again." Cheng Yunshuo thought that since Du Ruo was young, he should give in to her a little.
When Du Ruo heard this, he immediately smiled and his resentment disappeared, "Master, you are so kind."
