The little sister is a troublemaker

Chapter 346 Is money so easy to make?

The young general cried and said, "The mistress of the Minister of Personnel, Guo, is not only mean and jealous, but also cruel and ruthless. My brother Kun's aunt is seriously ill, but she refuses to call a doctor. It was not a good life in the Zhang Mansion. My brother Kun's aunt was in poor health. She was seriously ill but she was not allowed to call a doctor, and she was not even given a prescription. His aunt had no choice but to embroider and sell her own embroidery to exchange for some money. Even so, Guo still couldn't stand it, not only took away her things, but also arranged a family punishment for the aunt. Now, my brother Kun's aunt is like this, and she dies every two days when she goes back. Everyone, tell me, how can my brother Kun not go crazy?"

Some of the gentlemen, young and old, who were soft-hearted, began to have tears in their eyes after hearing this.

"They say that the backyard of a wealthy family is like a wolf's den, very dangerous. It seems that this is not groundless."

"Who says it's not true? How can ordinary people enter such a wealthy family? Zhang Kun's aunt must not have any status or background."

"Hey, I know this. That aunt is a merchant's daughter."

"Oh, look at her, a merchant's daughter. It would be strange if someone in your family would like her."

"But we can't take human life lightly. Are the lives of ordinary people not lives?"

"That's right. When the Li family's mansion was in trouble, wasn't the concubine of the Zhang family the first lady of the mansion? She was exiled along with them. I could see at that time that Shangshu Zhang was not a good person. He jumped out and severed ties with his own daughter at the first opportunity. Look, isn't it the same this time?"

"Yes, I know about this. I watched the Li family leave Kyoto back then. The eldest lady of the Li family was so pitiful. She had been waiting for her family to come and see her off, but in the end, all she got was a letter of severance written by Minister Zhang himself. It was really pitiful."

"Mr. Zhang has always had a bad reputation. Don't you know that? He is a member of the Prime Minister's party. Everyone knows that the Prime Minister and Li Taifu are not on good terms. He is doing this just for the Prime Minister to see."

"This blood relationship is not as attractive as high office and generous salary."

"Who says it's not true? So, everyone should just listen to what Minister Zhang said. Who knows whether it's true or not?"

"Zhang Kun is also miserable. His leg is broken and he was expelled from the family. His future will be difficult."

"Didn't they say that Madam Li took the person back? She will definitely be well taken care of."

"Madam Li is kind-hearted and will definitely take good care of him, but he is disabled after all, so he probably won't have much hope for a future."

"What kind of future do you still have? It's good enough to be able to save your life."

"So this means that Zhang Shangshu is really a worthless person."

"Not only that, his wife has a very bad reputation. She is sarcastic and oppressive to the people. How can she be a wife of an official?"

······

Li Mulan and the others were watching these people in the private room on the second floor of the restaurant opposite. She raised her lips and looked at Li Xiaoqi, "Where did you find this kid? He acted very realistically."

Li Xiaoqi ate melon seeds leisurely, "He was a beggar from the next street. No one recognized him after he washed his face. I thought he was good at talking. I paid him only one or two taels of silver, and he even found two older ones to perform with me."

Huo Yuanruo was eating cakes when he glared at him, "One tael of silver? You are too stingy. I will give you five hundred taels."

Seeing Huo Yuanruo like this, Li Xiaoqi moved away a little, "Hey, what you give me is mine. I have done this, right? Whatever money is left is my ability, you can't take it back. I still need money to buy clothes and equipment, and there are people in this crowd who I arranged, and they have also paid money."

Huo Yuanruo rolled up his sleeves angrily, "Then how much silver did you spend in total?"

Li Xiaoqi coughed lightly and raised three fingers.

"Thirty taels?" Huo Yuanruo was so angry that he almost jumped up. "Young Master, look at him. He has screwed his own people. This kid is itching for trouble."

"Okay, I asked you to go, but you were lazy and asked Xiao Qi to go. Who can you blame?"

Li Xiaoqi said guiltily, "Actually...it's three taels!"

Even Li Mulan was upset now, "Three taels?"

Ye Tianyu, who was watching the whole show, almost dropped his jaw in shock. This... the kickbacks earned were too scary. Is it so easy to make money?

Li Xiaoqi moved closer to Li Mulan because he had seen Huo Yuanruo getting ready to fight.

"It is three taels, that's right, but it's all thanks to my good bargaining skills, otherwise how could it be three taels. Oh, Yuanruo, you are too stingy, your brother gave you a lot of silver that day, I saw it all. You don't need that much, so what's wrong with giving your brother a little advantage?"

"Humph, you have the ability to cheat others? What kind of ability is it to cheat me?"

Li Xiaoqi scratched the back of his head embarrassedly, "Those who are as stupid as you are not as rich as you, and those who are richer than you are not as stupid as you. As for me... hehehe, I don't have any other choice."

"Ah! Li Xiaoqi, you are looking for death!"

The two started fighting in the box. Li Mulan picked up the cup and walked out, taking Ye Tianyu out with her to avoid any unnecessary harm.

She shook her head helplessly, "I guess it's because I'm too bored. I feel uncomfortable if I don't move."

Qingyu on the side laughed and said, "Our young master Huo has plenty of money, at most he will smash some things."

"Let them have their fun. We've been out for a while. Let's go back home."

Li Mulan looked at Ye Tianyu, "Tianyu, how about you, do you want to come with me?"

Ye Tianyu shook his head, "Master Junior, I'd better wait for them."

"Then you stay outside. These two guys are very reckless. Don't hurt you by mistake."

"I understand, little uncle."

Li Mulan took Qingyu's hand and they left together.

As soon as she got downstairs, Li Mulan saw a group of people coming hurriedly, as if they were coming for her.

"One line to lead."

Xingyi bowed politely to Li Mulan and nodded slightly to Qingyu.

"Princess, could you please come with me to the Regent's Palace?"

Li Mulan saw that his forehead was covered with sweat and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Xingyi's expression was a little stiff. "Didn't you say before that twenty-two brothers were coming? Are they not here yet?"

Li Mulan was stunned for a moment, then responded, "Yes, according to the time calculation, it should have arrived long ago. I don't know where these people went."

"Well... I guess it's time now. We just received news from our palace that a group of people came, and it seems that a fight broke out. The prince is not in the palace. What do you think..."

"Why are you going to the palace?" Li Mulan yelled towards the second-floor box, "Li Xiaoqi, get down here!"

"Bang! Dang!"

The window of the box on the second floor was kicked open, and several broken wooden boards fell down, scaring the nearby pedestrians and making them run away in all directions.
