Chapter 204: Speak Up for Our Girl
Lu Xiang narrowed his eyes, trying to suppress the coldness that was almost impossible to hide.
"Have I ever made any request to you?" Lu Xiang asked.
Qiao Jingru took a sip of tea and shook her head blankly: "No."
"How much money do you give him now for pocket money?" Lu Xiang suddenly asked.
The house where Rong Yin lived was not very nice, but the furnishings inside were not bad, which showed that Lu Chao had put a lot of money into it. Where did he get the money when he lived on the monthly allowance from his family?
Lu Xiang didn't believe that Lu Chao was trying to please Qiao Jingru just because he felt guilty about having a mistress.
Qiao Jingru said, "At the beginning of the month, he said that the son of Marquis Jingning was having a birthday and he needed a gift. The son liked ancient paintings and calligraphy, so I gave him two thousand taels privately. Later, he spent one hundred taels on a banquet for his classmates, and two days ago, he spent another five hundred taels on gifts for the dean's birthday banquet..."
"He said so, and you just gave it to him?" Lu Xiang exclaimed.
In less than a month, I asked my sister-in-law why she took so much.
Qiao Jingru nodded: "Yes, it's not easy for my husband to study. Now he is making friends with the Prince of Jingning to prepare for his future career. I can't hold him back."
She had asked her second brother and learned that her current husband no longer often went out to have fun with his bad friends, so she had to support him.
Besides, it’s the dean’s birthday, so it’s reasonable to buy him an expensive gift.
"Sister-in-law, next time don't give brother as much as he wants."
Qiao Jingru blinked at her and said with a smile: "Don't worry, these are my private dowry, and they are not taken from the mansion's account. Father won't blame me."
Lu Xiang rubbed his forehead weakly, inexplicably feeling that his sister-in-law was a little silly.
"That's not what I meant. I'm afraid that my brother will go out and spend money recklessly."
Qiao Jingru waved her hand nonchalantly: "Your elder brother is a man, it is only right for him to keep some money when he goes out, otherwise he will be laughed at if he can't take it out when he needs it."
Lu Xiang: “…”
Wasn't she the one who chased and beat up big brother in the garden because he spent money like water?
Sister-in-law, you are so easy to please!
If this situation continues, it won’t be long before Lu Chao swindles all of her dowry.
No wonder he looked down upon the fifty thousand taels she gave him.
"Xiangxiang, is there something you like but don't have enough money? It doesn't matter, your sister-in-law will give it to you." Qiao Jingru saw that Lu Xiang wanted to cry but couldn't, and thought that she was jealous that Lu Chao didn't have to worry about money, so she said angrily.
Lu Xiang was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, and was deeply moved.
"Well, I'm jealous of my eldest brother. Sister-in-law, please don't give him any money. Just buy him whatever he needs." Without money, let's see how he can keep a mistress.
She hasn't figured out how to solve the problem of the mistress yet.
Because if you drive away one Rong Yin, there will be another one.
As long as Lu Chao wants, he will always have a mistress.
He abandons his kind and innocent wife at home and instead keeps a slutty bitch outside.
She was so mad.
No, tell Ah Man to find an opportunity to put a sack on him and beat him up first.
Qiao Jingru glared at Lu Xiang: "Xiangxiang, stop making trouble. Your brother is not a child anymore. He will be angry if you do this."
She couldn't let the feelings that Lu Chao had cultivated for her be extinguished again.
"Then you better be careful and don't spend money like it's a bottomless pit." Lu Xiang thought for a moment and just reminded.
As long as the sister-in-law doesn’t know about the bad things Lu Chao has done, she will be happy.
In the evening, Lu Chao left the academy and went straight to Jilan Lane, carrying freshly baked cakes in his hands.
As soon as he entered the door, he smiled and shouted into the house.
"Yin'er!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a fragrant breeze blew over, and then a pair of soft arms wrapped around his waist. Lu Chao subconsciously hugged her shoulders, with endless tenderness in his eyes.
"What's wrong?" Lu Chao asked with a smile, looking at Rong Yin who was suddenly becoming clingy.
Rong Yin shook her head gently on his chest and said in a muffled voice, "Master, I am scared."
Her voice was soft and sweet, but at this moment it carried a hint of sadness.
Lu Chao's expression changed slightly. He looked at Yun Chun who was standing not far away and asked, "What injustice did your master suffer today?"
Yunchun glanced at Rongyin, then bit her lip and lowered her head: "Miss, don't let me say it."
Lu Chao's eyes darkened: "I command you to speak."
Rong Yin suddenly withdrew from Lu Congchao's arms, turned around and looked at Yunchun: "Don't talk too much."
Yunchun looked back and forth between Rongyin and Lu Chao, and finally stamped her feet and said indignantly: "Master, they have come to your door to bully you, and I really can't bear to see you suffer this injustice..."
"Master, today the Third Miss of the Lu family came and threw money at us. She said she wanted to give our daughter 50,000 taels to let her leave the capital and leave Master. My daughter didn't want to, saying that the Third Miss was insulting her. But she said that our daughter was pretending to be noble, otherwise how could she be someone's concubine."
"My poor girl is devoted to the young master. She didn't want to cause discord in the young master's family and had to live outside. But in the end, she was humiliated by your sister. I really feel sorry for our girl."
"I have to say something unpleasant. It was not someone who put a knife to your neck and forced you to be with the young lady. If she had not loved the young master, would she be willing to follow you without any status? The young lady in the mansion has not said anything yet, and I have never seen a young lady come to my brother's room."
Rong Yin's face turned pale, and she shouted angrily, "Yunchun, shut up."
Yunchun looked so aggrieved that he couldn't speak, and he lowered his head silently.
"Young Master, don't listen to Yunchun's nonsense. Third Miss's original intention was also for you." Rong Yin tightly grasped Lu Chao's sleeve, with a righteous look of "It's okay even if I'm wronged."
Lu Chao gritted his teeth, veins bulging on his forehead.
"So Lu Xiang has been here? And said those things to you?"
It's easy to turn your head, silence is better than words.
"She's really rebellious. She actually dared to meddle in my affairs." Lu Chao said angrily, "I'm going to go back and settle the score with her."
As he said that, he gave the cake in his hand to Rong Yin and was about to leave.
Rong Yin grabbed her, with a touching look on her charming face.
"Master, please don't cause a quarrel between you and your brother because of me. As long as you have me in your heart, it doesn't matter what others say."
Lu Chao looked at Rong Yin and said sternly, "Because I value you, I cannot let my sister bully you and look down on you like this."
Rong Yin smiled with a mixture of sadness and joy: "That's enough. It's enough to have the eldest young master say this. It's not easy to come here. You can leave later. If you go back now, I don't know when you can come to see me again."
Lu Chao was moved and stayed according to Rong Yin's words.
I'll deal with this little girl Lu Xiang when I get back.
"Yin'er, come back home with me. Even if you are my concubine, I won't let anyone bully you." Lu Chao took the opportunity to suggest.
