Chapter 64 Without Money, Everyone is Vulgar

Lu Lingyun explicitly forbade the Marquis's Mansion to lend money at usury. Firstly, the money at usury was not clean and making money from it was really against the law of nature. Secondly, she knew that there would be a big explosion in the money at usury soon.

The weather was extremely cold this winter, and the number of private loans increased a lot. Many families could not make ends meet, and they had to borrow money from wealthy families at high interest rates to get through the winter. They could not pay the loans back the next year, so they had to sell their children, and many murders occurred.

The matter attracted the attention of higher authorities. After a thorough investigation, the imperial court found out that it was caused by usury. They severely cleaned up a wave of loan sharks. At that time, all those who were found out were punished.

Not only were they not allowed to take the money back, but their careers were also affected.

Lu Lingyun didn't know what influence the Marquis' Mansion had in the previous life, she only knew that the Li family was investigated at that time.

Wei secretly lent money at high interest rates, which caused her husband and father-in-law to be fined for half a year and their careers were damaged. The entire Li family fell into a haze.

Fortunately, the spring imperial examination was approaching, and Lu Lingyun helped Li Wenxun to rise to prominence. Once he passed the imperial examination, he also indirectly helped the Li family, allowing the Li family to revive.

Without her help in this life, the Li family’s loan crisis would definitely not be that simple.

She sent the butler Qian away without rushing to inform Qin first. Qin would be returning home in a few days, and she would then explain the matter of the loan to her in person.

Lu Lingyun continued to look after the accounts and take care of the household chores, while Xing Dairong in the backyard had also been busy these days.

"Yun Shuo, the kid kept kicking me these past two days."

As soon as Cheng Yunshuo returned home, he was entangled by Xing Dairong.

During this period, Lu Lingyun was busy and ignored the two concubines, and Qiu Ling ignored Cheng Yunshuo, so Xing Dairong had no competitors.

She is always pestering Cheng Yunshuo.

As she acted like a spoiled brat every day, Cheng Yunshuo actually accommodated her a lot.

"Then you should have a good rest and don't go out too often." Cheng Yunshuo accompanied her into the house.

There were three pots of charcoal burning in her room, the same specifications as Lu Lingyun's. As a rule, there was only one pot in my aunt's room. As she was pregnant, Lu Lingyun gave her an extra pot of charcoal as a rule, and the other pot was ground from Cheng Yunshuo.

It's a pity that Cheng Yunshuo is now working as an official and receives a monthly salary from the court. If he doesn't have the monthly allowance from the government for a year, he won't know where the money for the charcoal will come from.

"No, it's the child who misses his father." Xing Dairong said sweetly in Cheng Yunshuo's ear.

"How old is he? How can he have any ideas?" Cheng Yunshuo sat down and said frankly.

"Mother and child are connected by heart. If you don't believe me, feel it." Xing Dairong grabbed his hand and placed it on his chest.

Cheng Yunshuo: "......"

"Okay, I heard you." Cheng Yunshuo said perfunctorily.

"So what else did you hear?"

Xing Dairong took advantage of the situation and pursued him, holding on to his hand tightly.

Cheng Yunshuo: "...He said he was very happy."

"No! The boy said he wanted gold."

Cheng Yunshuo: "......"

The child is only two months old, why does he need gold!

Facing Xing Dairong's twinkling eyes, he sighed helplessly, "What do you fancy now?"

Xing Dairong immediately grabbed Cheng Yunshuo's hand with a smile on his face and sat down, "Yunshuo, I want to do the Golden Step Dance."

"Golden Step?"

"Yes, I saw that bitch Qiu Ling... Aunt Qiu also has a golden step-shake, but I don't." Xing Dairong saw the golden step-shake on Qiu Ling's head several times.

She doesn't have that kind of style or texture; what she has are just the most basic styles, and Xing Dairong is gradually realizing it now.

The things Lu Lingyun gave her as rewards were all the most ordinary and inconspicuous items.

I won't give her anything better.

If she wants it, she still has to rely on herself.

As soon as she finished speaking, Cheng Yunshuo threw up his hands helplessly, "I have no money."

"How can you be broke? Didn't you say you got a promotion? You get a salary from the court!"

Cheng Yunshuo looked at Xing Dairong in front of him and said, "During this period of time, you asked me for charcoal, clothes, dried fruit snacks from the shops on East Street, and various snacks from the restaurants outside. You have already spent all my salary."

Xing Dairong was immediately unhappy, "What do you mean? I am carrying a child for you! This is nothing! My two pots of charcoal are not enough, do you want to let the child get cold? I am pregnant and my appetite is not good. Look at what we eat in your house. You don't buy me some of my favorite food. Do you want to starve the child to death?"

Cheng Yunshuo: "......"

He felt annoyed.

Super annoying.

During this period of time, every time he came to Xing Dairong's place, she would nag him for this and that. Whenever she was not satisfied, she would bring up the children as an excuse. He had spent all his meager salary on her. He had spent all his savings, but she was still nagging for more. He couldn't let him ask Lu Lingyun for money!

"It's not that I don't want to give it to you, it's just that I have no money now, so you have to wait a few more months." Cheng Yunshuo promised, suppressing his impatience.

He had already prepared to save up a few months' salary, or see if Qin would give him any financial support during the Chinese New Year, and then give Xing Dairong a golden step-shake.

"Wait a few months?" Xing Dairong was quite dissatisfied when he heard this. "Why don't you say wait a few years? You men are good at making big promises. You postpone it today to tomorrow, and tomorrow to the day after tomorrow. It will never happen in the future! You are a prince, and you just don't want to give it. You even use such a lame excuse as having no money."

"Don't you know how much money I have? Don't you know how much I've spent on you?"

"I don't know! I just know you won't buy it for me. You said you would be with me forever, but it's only been a short time! I just want a golden swing, not one of those huge jadeite or white jades that Lu Lingyun has. Why are you pretending?"

Xing Dairong didn't believe that Cheng Yunshuo had no money.

He is the prince and the entire mansion belongs to him, how could he be without money?

I just don't want to spend money on her!

When he first loved her, he spent a ton of money on her, but now, after such a short time, he won't even give her a golden brooch. Cheng Yunshuo is just pretending to be nice to her!

Cheng Yunshuo was so angry when he heard Xing Dairong say this. The more he looked at her, the more strange it became. "How did you become like this?"

“That’s just how I am!”

Xing Dairong snorted heavily, his face full of resentment that he couldn't hide.

It turned out that all men in the world are the same. No wonder her mother told her since she was a child that you should look at what a man does instead of what he says. Her father always coaxed her since she was a child to buy things later and buy things later, and there would never be a later.

Now it seems that Cheng Yunshuo is the same!

Cheng Yunshuo stared at the angry woman in front of him, and the more he looked at her, the more unfamiliar she seemed to him.

It was obvious that what he liked about her in the beginning was that she was different from the crowd and that she valued money like dirt. Why did she now seem like those vulgar women who were always demanding and only knew how to ask for things from men?

Is this really the Xing Dairong he once liked?

How vulgar!

He doesn't know.

Passionate love will always return to the ordinary time, and after the ordinary time, you have to face the secular world, and the secular world is money.

Without money, everyone is vulgar.
