Chapter 75: Charcoal Crisis Resolved

Twenty carts of charcoal were delivered to Duke Xu's mansion.

Li Niyue was shocked when she received the news on the spot.

She went outside to check in person, and her eyes widened when she saw twenty carts full of charcoal.

"My wife said that if you need any amount, just send someone to tell us and it will be delivered anytime." Dongsheng delivered the message.

When Li Niyue heard this, she couldn't stop being excited.

Lu Lingyun, it was really Lu Lingyun who got it for her.

She had just written a letter for help to Lu Lingyun in the morning, and at noon, twenty truckloads of charcoal were delivered.

This... is too simple!

She said yes to Dongsheng again and again. In addition to the money for the charcoal, she also gave Dongsheng ten taels of silver as a reward. She was extremely grateful to Lu Lingyun in her heart.

Li arranged for people to deliver cartloads of charcoal back to her house, and she ran into her younger sister-in-law, Xiao Cui.

"Sister-in-law, you got the charcoal! And so much of it!" Mrs. Cui asked immediately when she saw so much charcoal.

It was rare for Li to be so proud in front of her. She smiled gently and said, "It's nothing. I will arrange the charcoal for the mansion in the future. There will be no shortage."

When Mrs. Cui heard this, her pretty face turned blue.

Hey, what does that mean?

Isn't it just showing off that she can get charcoal?

There will be no shortage of it, she is so capable!

Li left with a proud look on her face. After she left, Cui got angry at her nanny, "How do you do things?"

"Madam Second Young Master, charcoal is in short supply in the capital right now, and we need a lot of it, so we really can't get it."

"Then how did she get them? And there are so many!"

"We don't know either..."

"Come on! You are the only ones who don't take your job seriously, a bunch of rubbish!"

That day, Li received praise from her mother-in-law, Cui.

The charcoal fire crisis in Fuchu has been resolved and the temperature will not drop.

Cui looked at her eldest daughter-in-law with great surprise. She had not expected that she was actually quite capable and handled the matter much better than her younger daughter-in-law.

After Lu Lingyun returned home, she received a letter of thanks from Li that evening.

After seeing the letter, she smiled faintly and put the things away.

In the final analysis, it didn't matter who she sold the charcoal to, but she could gain favor by selling it to Li.

the next day.

Lu Lingyun was checking the accounts in the yard.

Xing Dairong went to Qin's room as usual.

These past two days, Qin has become obsessed with the cross-stitch invented by Xing Dairong, and Xing Dairong has spent most of the day in Qin's room.

Lu Lingyun was too lazy to compete with her, as she was just a little cleaner.

She had just finished flipping through the account book when she heard Shuanghong come to report.

"Madam, Miss Wang is here."

Hearing Wang Qiluo's name, Lu Lingyun closed his hand and said, "Please invite Miss Wang in."

After a while, Wang Qiluo was welcomed into her room.

Unlike in the past, today when Lu Lingyun made eye contact with her, Wang Qiluo immediately turned her head away.

"What's wrong with our dear sister?" Lu Lingyun understood and said with a smile while scraping the tea leaves.

Wang Qiluo, who had taken off her outer cape, heard this and her ears turned red. She stamped her feet and said, "Lingyun, you are disgusting."

"Am I annoying? Then I'm going to go talk to my aunt about it."

"My dear sister!"

Wang Qiluo flew in front of Lu Lingyun, grabbed her arm, and said in a tone so sweet that it could squeeze water out of her, "What are you going to do?"

"Hmph, don't give me that shit, tell me the truth, when did it happen?" Lu Lingyun asked seriously with a stern face.

Wang Qiluo's face was red as blood, "Oh, that's nothing."

"You're not delivering coal to them?"

"I saw that Master Liu was thin and the place he lived in was not warm."

"Look at what you are saying." Lu Lingyun reached out and poked her head hard.

"Okay, okay. Anyway, he and I are innocent." Wang Qiluo raised her head and said very seriously, "I went to the Liu family troupe to listen to a few operas later. I didn't see him singing, but I met him twice."

"Which two times?"

"Once, after watching a play, I invited Qiaojie to have tea. A bully came to our house, and Master Liu beat him back."

"Another time, I was on my way back from a play and was bitten by a dog. I met Master Liu again and he helped me."

Lu Lingyun: "......"

How come Wang Qiluo has to run into all these bad things?

"You didn't bring anyone?"

"How dare I? I took Cuicui and went secretly. My mother didn't even know I was going to the west of the city to listen to opera."

Lu Lingyun: "......"

"Good sister, I really did have sex with Master Liu. Master Liu is a handsome man with a very upright character. He saved me three times in a row. I wanted to treat him to a meal, but he refused. He also told me that men and women should not touch each other. I also thought that the weather was cold, so I gave him some charcoal as a thank you."

"Is it really that simple?"

"I swear." Wang Qiluo stretched out her finger and swore seriously.

"Don't give me that. I don't need you to swear." Lu Lingjun put away her teasing attitude. She still couldn't see through Wang Qiluo's little thoughts.

It is true as she said, they are now innocent, and she also believes that Liu Shuhui has no other thoughts, but Wang Qiluo has seen her thoughts during her several visits to the west of the city.

She sipped her tea. "That Liu guy has a stubborn temper."

"Yes, I also discovered that Mr. Liu is really a rare person of integrity and honesty, and he has the character of a scholar in his bones." Wang Qiluo's eyes were shining when she said this.

Lu Lingyun said leisurely, "His family conditions are not good. They are poor, very poor, extremely poor."

"Sister! How can you look at people like this? I believe that Master Liu will have a bright future."

That is true.

Liu Shuhui had the ability and relied on his own abilities to become the Governor-General of the Jiangnan Grain Transport System.

Wang Qiluo has a good vision.

"But you have to know that such a person is not easy to get along with. Life will definitely be very tiring if you marry him."

Anyway, Lu Lingyun dislikes this kind of stubborn donkey the most. It cannot be tamed. No matter how good her methods and temper are, it is useless against a stubborn donkey.

Whether the days were long or short, Lu Lingyun would never suffer any hardship.

"How could that be? Young Master Liu is upright and as strong as a pine tree. Living with someone like him makes me feel safe."

Lu Lingyun: "......"

"You still say you don't like him?"

"Lingjun! You lied to me!" Wang Qiluo said, covering her blushing face after she reacted.

"Okay, okay, I'm on your side, why are you shy?"

"Really?" Wang Qiluo's eyes lit up, "Do you also think that Master Liu is great?"

"Haha." Lu Lingyun smiled and said nothing.

"Lingyun, Lingyun, sister, I really think Mr. Liu is good. I don't like the valiant warriors that my parents prepared for me. I like scholars."

Lu Lingyun sighed, "Okay, stop talking, I get it."

Wang Qiluo's thoughts are so straightforward, what else can I say?

She looked at Wang Qiluo steadily, "But from today on, you must stop associating with him. I will find a chance to talk to your parents, but we have to wait until the results are announced before we can discuss it."

It’s not bad to catch a son-in-law from the list.

Wang Qiluo blinked and nodded heavily.
