Chapter 297: Chapter 297

Qinghui Courtyard, the courtyard is full of flowers and branches, peonies are vying to shoot up, the branches are thick and the leaves are thick, and the wrist-sized flowers are swaying with the wind, and the wind is beautiful.

Aunt Lin stood at the door, hesitated for a while, and then walked in.

The little maidservants in the yard were watering the flowers, when they saw Aunt Lin, they hurriedly put down the water bottle and saluted: "My maidservant has seen Aunt Lin."

Aunt Lin nodded lightly, and asked softly: "I don't know if the young lady is free. There is a mistake in the monthly bill of money in my yard. Come and check with the young lady."

"Auntie, wait a moment, and let the servant girl inform you."

A maid said and walked towards the house.

Qiao Jingru froze for a moment when she heard the little girl's words, and asked her to invite Aunt Lin in.

The maid quickly turned back and made a gesture of invitation to Aunt Lin: "Please, Aunt Lin."

"It's work."

Aunt Lin asked her personal maid to wait outside while she entered the house.

"My concubine sees the elder mistress." Aunt Lin saluted politely.

Even if Qiao Jingru married a concubine, she was still the master of the house, and even an aunt like her would not dare to take Qiao by relying on her status as an elder.

"Auntie, get up and sit down."

Aunt Lin sat down on the chair and served her tea on a good day.

Qiao Jingru asked: "It is said that the servants in the aunt's courtyard sent out the wrong monthly payment, but it was not mine. I don't know what went wrong?"

Today Aunt Lin is wearing a begonia red short jacket with lotus pattern, apricot red pleated skirt woven with gold flowing clouds, a high bun on her hair, and a red gold skirt.

Her appearance can only be regarded as handsome, but now that she is old and not favored, she looks even more mediocre.

"May the young mistress ask you to leave?" Aunt Lin said after hesitating for a while.

Qiao Jingru looked at her in surprise, wondering if she had made a mistake in the monthly payment, so what can't she say?
It's a shame, and it's also a shame for her, the head of the family.

But since Aunt Lin said so, Qiao Jingru didn't want to shame her, thinking that maybe she had some unspeakable secrets and wanted to tell her alone, so she waved Liang Chen to retreat.

After Liangchen left, he closed the door again.

"Auntie has something to say." Qiao Jingru looked at Aunt Lin and said.

She has a mediocre relationship with Aunt Lin, and she has less contact with her on weekdays, so Qiao Jingru doesn't greet her much.

Aunt Lin took a sip from her teacup, suppressing the panic that kept creeping up in her heart.

Qiao Jingru didn't rush, she drank her tea quietly and waited for Aunt Lin to speak.

Suddenly, Aunt Lin took out two things from her sleeve and handed them to Qiao Jingru.

Qiao Jingru was stunned when she saw the dark green belt: "Auntie, what does this mean?"

This belt was made by her for Lu Chao, and the jasper inlaid on it was the best jade given to her by her elder brother.

Why is such a close-fitting thing in Aunt Lin's hands?
Without waiting for Qiao Jingru to think about it, Aunt Lin unfolded a letter for Qiao Jingru to read.

"I went out this morning, and I saw the young master's outer room on the street, Rongyin, and her maid were hurrying on the road with their bags on their backs. I saw that their expressions were not right, so I became suspicious, so I followed them After a while, I saw them calling a carriage and heading out of the city. I wondered if it was because Rong Yin saw that the young master was poor, so she didn't want to follow. If so, it was just to persuade the young master to turn around, so I went back again .”

"As soon as I arrived at the young master's residence, a man came over and asked me if I was from Lu Chao's family. I said yes, and he gave me these two things, saying that the young master owed them gambling debts. Today is The deadline, if they don’t take the money to redeem him, they will kill the eldest young master, and the man will leave after speaking. I thought it was a prank at first, so I sent someone to Qingshan Academy to inquire. The young master hasn't gone to class for three days."

Following Liu's explanation, Qiao Jingru also finished reading the letter in her hand, her face turned pale as paper, and the hand holding the letter paper couldn't help but tremble slightly.

"Eldest young mistress, I found out about this matter. I am really at a loss. The master is not in the house and dare not tell the old lady. After thinking about it, I have to come and tell you. Now that you are the eldest mistress, you can raise money in the shortest possible time." Go to Yinzi to save the young master. As the old saying goes, the husband and wife have been kind for a hundred days. The young master is certainly wrong, but at this time, should we save the person first? Since the young lady is willing to come back, it proves that the young master is still in her heart Is it right, you can't just ignore death."

Liu Shi tightly pinched the handkerchief, and said with an uneasy expression.

Qiao Jingru's mind was in turmoil, and she was bewildered, anxious and angry at the same time.

Annoyed that Lu Chao didn't know what to say, he went to gamble and lost so much all at once.

10 taels...

If my father finds out, let alone whether his legs will be broken, I'm afraid he won't even recognize his son.

But under his anger, he couldn't help worrying about whether Lu Chao would suffer if he was arrested by those people.

There is only half a day at the moment, and the cash is not enough to raise so much.

Qiao Jingru suddenly got up: "Thank you, Auntie, for telling me, I will go to Xiangxiang to find a way to raise money." The cash she can get out here is only tens of thousands of taels, so it is impossible to borrow a little from Xiangxiang, Furong Can the pavilion get some cash out, let's talk about saving Lu Chao first.

Aunt Lin's heart skipped a beat when she heard Qiao Jingru's words, and hurriedly got up to stop her: "Eldest young mistress, the third miss is resting due to injuries, if you know about the eldest young master, don't you just worry about it? I think it's better not to bother the third lady. If the cash is not enough, you can use something to pay for it. The most important thing for those people is to see the money. In the end, it is really close, and it is not impossible to write an IOU and delay it for a few days. , what do you think, young mistress?"

Qiao Jingru heard the words, and immediately gave up the idea of ​​looking for Lu Xiang: "My aunt is right, I'll raise money right now, no matter what, I'll save the person first."

"Yes." Aunt Lin nodded and said: "Young Mistress, this matter has to be done quietly. If more people know about it, it will be easy to delay time. It's not too late to explain clearly after saving the Young Master first."

"I understand." Qiao Jingru said with a pale complexion, "Auntie, I have to hurry up to raise money, so I don't need to talk to you."

"Okay, then I'll go first, and if there is anything to help, call someone to come to me."

As Aunt Lin said, she left Qinghui Courtyard.

Qiao Jingru called Liang Chen in, and told Liang Chen to take out all her cash and valuable jewelry without saying much.

Liang Chen wanted to ask, but seeing his master's pale face from nervousness, he didn't ask any more, just obeyed his orders.

As soon as Aunt Lin returned to her yard, her legs suddenly went limp, and her whole body collapsed to the ground.

"Auntie..." Yutian exclaimed.

Aunt Lin showed a weak smile at Yutian, and slowly stood up while holding her hand.

"Don't shout, I just suddenly have weak legs."

She is afraid.
