Chapter 132 There is no place for you
Qiao Jinlan looked at Feicui who was indignant for her, and couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips: "Don't be angry, she is just an insignificant person."
"Moreover, I would like to thank Lu Lianghui for speaking out for justice."
If it weren’t for Lu Lianghui, how could the fact that her good father was short of money have been exposed?
Feicui was too confused to figure out what the young lady meant.
However, since the young lady said thank you, then thank you!
"Well, thank her." Jade echoed.
Her ignorant yet unhesitating look of belief made Qiao Jinlan smile. Where on earth did her mother-in-law find this funny guy?
So cute.
Less than an hour later, Baozhu came back and reported, "Madam, the young master told you not to be angry."
"He has everything."
Qiao Jinlan understood after hearing this: "Okay."
There are many outsiders in the Dali Temple, so Lu Yunxu cannot make his words too clear.
But she understood.
And he also understood the purpose of her asking Baozhu to come over and tell him.
Qiao Jinlan was suddenly stunned. Lu Yunxu seemed to be very smart now.
It is completely different from the Lu Yunxu who was fooled around in the original novel.
What kind of adventure did Lu Liangyi have that earned him such great love from the world of books?
Qiao Jinlan didn't quite understand.
If there really are gods in this world, then they are just confused, and they actually took a fancy to a bastard like Lu Liangyi and made him the protagonist.
Fortunately, nothing in this world cannot be changed.
As long as she changes the predetermined fate, her fate as a cannon fodder will also change.
Within three days, the incident came to light.
The news spread throughout the streets and alleys of the capital.
Qiao Yuanhui hoarded charcoal, hoping to make a fortune from the national crisis by taking advantage of the rare commodity!
For a while, everyone was calling for his death!
Emperor Jin was also furious. He demoted the fifth-rank doctor of the Ministry of Rites to the lowest rank, reduced him to a commoner, and even fined him money.
This was also because there was no snowstorm this year and the charcoal was discovered by Lu Yunxu accidentally. Otherwise, Qiao Yuanhui would not only lose his official position, but his life!
Now, Qiao Yuanhui has lost his official position and the house he lived in has been taken away to pay off debts.
They had to use their remaining money to rent a small courtyard for temporary shelter.
Try not to go out if you can. Otherwise, if you go out, people will point fingers at you, and Qiao Yuanhui and the others really can't stand it.
While other families were happily preparing for the New Year, the Qiao family was cold and desolate.
On New Year's Eve, all civil and military officials had to bring their families to the palace to attend the palace banquet.
Marquis Anyang came with his family and got off the carriage. When he saw someone not far away, his eyes narrowed slightly.
Su Yunxia followed his gaze and said nothing.
Madam Lu snorted coldly: "Why are they here too? What bad luck!"
Lu Liangyi smiled and said, "Grandma, Lord Lu is an official in the court, so it is normal for him to attend the palace banquet."
Madam Lu said with disdain: "A seventh-rank official doesn't even have the qualifications to attend court on weekdays. Now that he's attending a palace banquet, I don't know where he'll sit."
"How dare you come here!"
"Grandma, every year on New Year's Eve, all officials in the capital must attend the palace banquet," said Lu Liangyi.
Madam Lu glanced at Lu Yunxu and Qiao Jinlan in the distance, said nothing more, turned around and said, "Let's go in."
Madam Lu and her group followed the eunuch who was leading the way from the palace, but they didn't expect that they would run into Lu Yunxu, Qiao Jinlan and others at the gate of the main hall.
When Madam Lu saw that Lu Yunxu was about to go in without even saying hello, she was so angry that she scolded him, "You rude guy, don't you know how to be polite when you meet someone?"
Just as Lu Yunxu was about to speak, Qiao Jinlan spoke first. She smiled and bowed, saying, "Please forgive us, Madam Lu. We are really worried that after we greet you, you will think we are making fun of you."
"It would be bad if this caused a misunderstanding."
Madam Lu frowned: "What joke? What jokes do we have?"
Qiao Jinlan covered her mouth in shock and said something meaningful: "My father hoarded charcoal to make a fortune in the national crisis... You, right..."
Madam Lu's expression changed, and Marquis Anyang's face suddenly turned black.
If Qiao Yuanhui had not been pushed out as a shield at that time, his hoarding of charcoal would have been exposed.
He knew that even if Qiao Yuanhui came out to take the blame, people would still suspect him. However, he denied it and cleaned up all the traces, so no one dared to say anything.
What does Qiao Jinlan mean by this now?
"Qiao Jinlan, what do you want to say?" Anyang Hou asked in a deep voice, "Do you think that the Anyang Hou Mansion is also involved in the hoarding of charcoal?"
"My Lord, what are you talking about?" Qiao Jinlan asked in confusion, "What I mean is that my father and you are in-laws after all. We are worried that you will be embarrassed if we come to greet you at this time."
"We were just planning for you, but we didn't expect you to misunderstand us."
"It seems that the Marquis is really open and honest! I admire you!"
Qiao Jinlan expressed her admiration, but Marquis Anyang's face turned even darker.
What does Qiao Jinlan mean by this?
Are you saying that he has no shame at all for having such a relative?
Marquis Anyang wanted to scold Qiao Jinlan, but he didn't know how to open his mouth. After all, it was his mother who approached Lu Yunxu in the first place.
Qiao Jinlan was merely answering his mother's scolding.
Marquis Anyang suddenly felt a sense of being stuck in his chest, which was really uncomfortable.
He even felt a little resentful towards his mother in his heart. Why did she provoke Lu Yunxu and the others for no reason?
Lu Yunxu is just a small seventh-rank official, what tricks can he come up with?
"Grandma, let's go in first. Otherwise we'll be blocking the road." Lu Liangyi reminded in a low voice.
Ministers from the court came one after another, and they were too conspicuous here.
Didn’t you see that quite a few people were already looking at them?
Madam Lu glared at Lu Yunxu and Qiao Jinlan fiercely, then said, "Let's go in!"
Old Madam Lu walked in with her head held high. When she got to the main hall, men and women sat separately on the left and right.
Of course, the higher the status, the closer they are to His Majesty.
Madam Lu said to Su Yunxia and Qiao Jiaojiao in a boastful manner: "Our location is over there."
Qiao Jiaojiao knew what Old Madam Lu meant, and she immediately said flatteringly, "Grandma, I have never sat in such a front seat, so close to His Majesty."
Madam Lu smiled proudly and said, "This is a seat for the family members of the Marquis' Mansion. Not everyone can sit here."
Madam Lu took Su Yunxia and Qiao Jiaojiao to sit down, then she looked at Lu Yunxu and Qiao Jinlan with a smug look. She wanted to laugh at them, but suddenly her face changed drastically: "Why are you still moving forward? There is no place for you!"
