Chapter 232 Helping Others
After the beginning of winter.
The weather is getting colder.
After breakfast, Jiang Yunhu took his wife and children back home.
Before leaving, he gave two silver notes to his brother and sister-in-law.
Please ask her to prepare a dowry for Qiaoer.
They were excited to have a son-in-law like Yanshu.
However, he was apprehensive about marrying into the Sun family.
I feel somewhat conflicted. I hope my daughter will marry well, but I am also worried that she will marry too well.
Her parents' family will hold her back.
After seeing off a few people, Lu Qingyao looked at the banknotes in her hand.
One thousand taels...
My elder brother and his wife really love their daughter. This must be their only savings now.
But it's not surprising.
In the past, the eldest brother could give all his family fortune to Jiang Yunze, let alone his own daughter.
Seeing the carriage going away, he was about to go back.
I saw a sneaky figure at the door.
"Aren't you Jiang Zipei's servant? What are you doing here?" Jiang Qiaoer ran over and blocked his way.
Seeing that there was no way to escape, the little servant boy stepped forward and knelt down in front of Lu Qingyao.
"Madam, I am Shuangrui, the servant of the Fourth Young Master, and I wish to see the Eldest Young Master..."
Lu Qingyao looked the little servant up and down.
He looks about twelve or thirteen years old, still a child.
His clothes were wrinkled, and his hands seemed to have bruises and scrapes.
Could it be that he was beaten by someone?
"Shuangrui, right? What do you want to do with Feng'er?" Lu Qingyao couldn't think of any reason why Jiang Zipei's servant would come to see Feng'er.
Although they are brothers, they are not close.
We never played together since we were young.
She didn't believe in any brotherly love.
Shuang Rui pursed his lips, thought for a moment, kowtowed to Lu Qingyao, and then spoke: "It's my brother. He was bullied in the academy and pushed into the icy lake. Please... please save him..."
The fourth young master's mother and sister abandoned him and returned to the capital, leaving him with no relatives here.
I can only ask the eldest and second sons for help.
Although it was a last-ditch effort, after thinking about it, he realized there was no one else he could ask for help.
Although the eldest lady and his wife were at loggerheads, in his opinion, it was his master who was constantly finding fault and targeting the eldest lady.
The eldest lady was always kind to the beggars at the door.
They also provided porridge and winter clothes to the refugees.
He looks like a good person.
"Did your young master ask you to come?" Lu Qingyao couldn't help but feel curious.
Qi Caiwei's son actually came to her for help.
It's also the most ridiculous thing in the world.
Shuang Rui replied cautiously, "I came here on my own. When I arrived, the young master was still unconscious..."
I was afraid that the eldest lady would turn around and leave without caring about the young master.
"Tell me, your son is the grandson of the Shangshu after all, how could anyone dare to bully him? Even if he was really bullied, why did you come to my son instead of going to the dean? Do you want my son to fight back? Why?" Lu Qingyao smiled awkwardly.
I don't know where this kid gets the courage from.
Shuangrui opened his mouth, but it felt like a fishbone was stuck in his throat.
He kowtowed several more times, tears pouring out like a flood, "Madam, please calm down, it's not like that..."
"Please, save my son... He will die..."
He didn't care about any grudges, he only knew that the woman in front of him was the young master's life-saving straw.
Poor young man, he has to meet such a heartless mother and sister.
Seeing the little boy's forehead covered in blood, Lu Qingyao became so anxious that her face turned red.
It doesn't seem like a lie.
Even though Jiang Zipei was in such a state, this little servant still stayed with him and never left him. He was indeed a loyal servant.
She waved her hand and said, "Forget it. Tell me in detail."
Then he asked the doorman to get him some gold medicine.
Shuang Rui was secretly delighted and quickly said, "Because the young master was admitted to Donglin Academy through special circumstances, the students there don't like him and exclude him... And because of the rumors about Minister Qi that spread a few days ago, those students hate him even more..."
"No one wanted to live with him. Some people even secretly released insects, snakes, and ants into his room and attacked him... This time, they even pushed him into the icy lake. Fortunately, he was rescued by the academy's guards, otherwise..."
Jiang Qiaoer was shocked, but fortunately...
Fortunately, Brother Yanshu is not studying at Donglin Academy.
It is unbelievable that such a thing could happen in such a famous academy.
Lu Qingyao thought to herself that this was probably karma.
The sins committed by the Qi family father and daughter actually came back to haunt their own children.
Donglin Academy has an unwritten rule that it only accepts students with outstanding talents, regardless of their wealth.
Regardless of age.
Only those who pass the college's examination can be admitted.
He had originally thought of sending his two children to Donglin Academy, but their grandfather was charged with such a crime.
Even if they pass the exam and are admitted, they will still be excluded.
They are all half-grown children with limited intelligence and knowledge. How can you expect them to distinguish right from wrong and not be disturbed by rumors from the outside world?
Jiang Zipei's admission to school under the protection of his elders naturally caused displeasure.
In particular, his grandfather, as the Minister of Rites, also took the lead in fraud.
It's like a knife, cutting into the students' hearts.
It would be strange if they didn't hate them, the grandparents and grandchildren.
Lu Qingyao asked, "Where's the headmaster? Didn't you report this to him?"
"I've reported that no evidence has been found. The dean and the students are unanimous in their claims that the Fourth Young Master jumped into the lake intending to commit suicide..."
"Mother, my brother and I will go see my fourth brother. You don't have to worry about this matter." A crisp voice came from behind.
Lu Qingyao turned around and saw three children standing behind her.
I've been standing there for a while.
“Mom…” Jiang Miaomiao stretched out her arms and asked her mother to hug her.
At this moment, she felt that she must have done a lot of good things in her previous life to have met such a good mother.
But looking back, I did support many children and did a lot of good things in my previous life.
But in the end it became the story of the fisherman and the snake.
She didn't want to recall that unbearable memory.
Now she was a little worried that after her mother helped Jiang Zipei, he would turn into a poisonous snake and bite back.
She stretched out her little hands to her brothers, "I want to go too. Miaomiao also wants to see Fourth Brother."
Lu Qingyao always felt that these kids were a little too enthusiastic today.
She hesitated for a moment and asked the second brother: "Yan'er, what do you want to do?"
"Mother, this is not a simple matter. Saving his life is the most important thing. We must let my fourth brother leave Donglin Academy as soon as possible. As for other matters of upholding justice, leave them to his powerful grandfather." Jiang Ziyan raised his little face and said seriously.
"Go ahead, let your Aunt Xiuxiu go with you." Lu Qingyao looked at her son with approval.
"What about me? I want to go too." Jiang Miaomiao clung to her elder brother like a monkey.
Lu Qingyao looked at her smiling daughter, frowned, and stretched out her arms towards her.
"You can't go. Go home with mom."
The little girl put away her smile, pouted her lips, and obediently reached out her hand to her mother.
Jiang Miaomiao was very depressed. It was useless to pretend to be cute in front of her mother.
The others are quite useful.
