"Bam!" Yun Dong couldn't hold himself back anymore. He stood up and was about to chase after the young maid, but Yun Qiu stopped him. Yun Dong turned around and was about to say something when he heard Yun Qiu say, "Little Dong, it's alright. I can take care of myself."
As she said that, she looked at Yu'er who was standing beside her. Yu'er went back into the inner room, and before long, she took out a small bag. Inside the bag, there was a stack of silver taels. Yun Qiu held it and shoved it into Yun Dong's hands. "Take this silver. It's more convenient to visit friends and have money for yourself."
"Sis …" Yun Dong was about to decline when he saw Yun Qiu's face brimming with happiness.
The Rong family was the most skilled at surface work. Every month, they would have a fixed monthly allowance for their daily expenses, so naturally, Yun Qiu would have a monthly allowance as well. The Rong family did indeed, according to the usual practice, give a month's worth of money. However, there were very few people who were truly in Yun Qiu's hands.
This was a bold servant who took more than half of the monthly allowance along the way, leaving the rest in Yun Qiu's hands. After all, it was the Rong family's idea. Huge? The loyal marquis' residence was currently controlled by the Rong family.
Yun Dong might be young, but he had already seen a lot of schemes from a large family in the past few years. Thus, he knew that he had to rely on the business outside to earn his sister's money. 'Elder sister, as the loyal young master of a marquis, she still went public for the sake of living. No one would believe it if I told her, but these things really happened! '
"Little Dong, you're fine. Elder sister can relax."
Yun Qiu said softly to Yun Dong. There was no resentment or grief on his face, only gentleness.
It seemed soft and weak, but it was actually really strong.
"Sis …"
Yun Dong knelt beside Yun Qiu, hugging her slender waist and sobbing like he did when she was young. At this time, he had completely forgotten about the proper etiquette.
His sister had always been a crafty person, but now that she was being so gentle and tolerant, it was all for his safety. How could he not know? However, he still couldn't help but feel wronged. If he was wronged, he could tell his sister, but what about her? All these years, for him, big sister has already suffered so much, so this time, he would definitely not let big sister suffer any more.
"What grievance?"
After Yun Dong heard this, he came back to reality and realized that he had said what he had decided. He was annoyed, but he knew his sister's personality and didn't dare to hide it, so he had to tell her everything.
"Elder sister, don't worry. This time, I will definitely not let the Rong family succeed. We will leave this place right now. The world is big, there will definitely be a place for us." As he spoke, he made a gesture to drag Yun Qiu away.
Yun Qiu saw her brother like this and felt her heart warm. She shook her head and said, "Little Dong, don't be rash. Just wait and see. Marriage is not child's play. Elder sister will not be wronged."
Yun Dong was skeptical, but this was the only thing he could do. After all, he was still too young.
After sending Yun Dong off, Yun Qiu let out a light sigh, her delicate eyebrows knitted together.
She turned to the window and pushed it open with her hand. It was unknown when it started to rain outside, but the drizzling rain made Fei Fei feel as cold as early autumn.
Thinking about it carefully, she was already eighteen years old. She should have gotten married early, or even become a mother. Actually, she didn't want to marry too early. Dong'er was still young, and although the two of them were honest young masters and mistresses, they relied on each other for survival. Dong'er had a gentle and obedient nature, and with the personality of Rong family and Yun Qing, she didn't dare to imagine how Dong'er would behave if she married someone and left home.
Seeing that her fiance's family was going to be filial, she had never thought that Yun Qing actually took a fancy to that person. She and Ning Heng had known each other since childhood. Speaking of which, although the two families had different statuses and positions, they were truly old friends. Ning Heng was slightly older than her, and Uncle Ning was someone who was looking forward to success. With the Ning family's rich background, what they could give Ning Heng was good. Therefore, from the moment she met Ning Heng, he had always been a gentleman.
It was said that the eldest son of the Ning Family, the richest man in the capital, had a handsome face and was the first choice for a good person in the capital. It was a pity that they were engaged to have a child as soon as possible. Xiao Ning Heng was a handsome and noble young man. Yun Qiu felt that even if everyone said that rumors were not to be believed, Ning Heng's words were most likely true.
From the looks of it, it was quite likely that Ning Heng would be taken fancy to by Yun Qing.
However, he didn't know why Yun Qing would see Ning Heng, who had been doing business outside all year round. Presumably, this was also fate. Was it due to the relationship between Yun Qing and Ning Heng, or was it due to fate between her and Ning Heng?
Since the Rong family had already mentioned this to his father, there was a very high chance that this matter would succeed.
Even though his father was a loyal and brave duke, he was still a marquis at first glance. In fact, everyone in the capital knew that the Marquis of Zhongyong was just a idle marquis. He also had his leisure duties in the imperial court and did not have any actual authority in his hands. Therefore, Marquis Zhong Yong's status was just a bit higher. His father was decent when he was outside, but he was also someone who loved beauties rather than mountains and rivers. Otherwise, how could he allow his father to spoil his concubine like he doted on his wife, and even make his concubine his wife's wife after her death?
Father was almost obedient to Rong's words.
If she gave up on this marriage, then the Rong family would definitely find another marriage for her. It was always the Rong family's style of doing things.
As intelligent as she was, she didn't know what kind of person her future husband was. In the end, she was just a young girl in her prime. Who wouldn't want her red makeup and the handsome appearance of a good person?
He looked at the mountains that were once again covered by the rain and fog. There was an ethereal feeling that did not belong to the human world. At this moment, the mortal world and the fairyland were no longer so distinct and distinct. For some reason, despite the seemingly unrelated rainy season, Yunqiu felt hopeful wings amidst the endless primal chaos.
Was it some kind of omen?
"Miss, something bad happened …" "Miss!"
Yu Er's voice that came from outside the courtyard startled Yun Qiu, who was still in a daze. She secretly curled her lips, secretly laughing at herself for being so secretive since the beginning.
When he turned around, he saw that Yu'er had just entered the room. He hurriedly said, "Miss, it's bad."
"Oh, I heard about your young miss. Take your time and talk about what's wrong with her." Yun Qiu replied with a faint smile.
"Miss, Second Miss is getting married."
Yun Qiu looked at Yu'er who was frowning and looking extremely worried, his mood instantly lightened.
