Chapter 161: The Cannon Fodder Sister Who Was Married Instead in Ancient Chinese Literature 41
In the early years, everyone benefited from what she took from Jiang's mother's dowry. Now that something has happened, naturally no one can escape unscathed.
She used the same words to speak to Yun Qingnan.
Yun Qingnan and Du: "......"
The two men's moods, which had just calmed down, immediately became intense again, and anger burned in their hearts.
Because of Yunxi's mistake, their Du family has suffered these unexpected disasters. Now the family has suffered heavy losses, but Yunxi still dares to come to their house in person to ask them for money.
Mrs. Du was the one who couldn't hold back any longer, she yelled directly at Yun Xi.
"you......"
"Shut up!"
Yun Qingnan immediately looked at her fiercely, and with a look in his eyes, Mrs. Du shut up in confusion and reluctance.
Yun Qingnan thought of what Yun Xi had said just now. No matter what, it was a foregone conclusion that Jiang Xinghui would become the Crown Prince's wife. Not to mention whether the promise to find a famous doctor could be fulfilled, the power of the Marquis' Mansion was enough to shut them up.
If Yunxi holds a grudge against them, even if they can get away with it now, what about when Jiang Xinghui marries into the Marquis' Mansion? Will she take revenge on the Du family because of Yunxi?
After all, the Du family is just a merchant family, and the Marquis' Mansion is powerful and can find any reason to make the Du family disappear.
Yun Qingnan pondered for a while before speaking with a wry smile.
"Sister, I understand your feelings, but the Du family is really..." He shook his head, "The damage caused to the Yun Mansion has already dissipated most of the Du family's money. In addition, my and Ping'er's health is now that we need the best medicinal herbs every day..."
"The Du family really can't afford any extra money right now."
Yunxi guessed that he would refuse, so he pretended to understand.
"Brother, I know that the Du family is not having a good time right now. I have no choice but to speak to you. I really don't have any money, but I'm afraid... I'm afraid that this will affect Hui'er's marriage. By then, I don't know when I can find a famous doctor for your injury."
Yun Qingnan hesitated after hearing this. He had to make a choice between his second half of life and the remaining money of the Du family, and he didn't know what choice to make.
Seeing this, Yun Xi spoke again, "Brother, I borrowed some money from my aunt before, so I think we can find a few more people to help us, but I don't know if we can find a few more people."
Yun Qingnan's hesitation disappeared in an instant. He could only give a little to show his feelings. This way he could show his sincerity in front of Yun Xi and prevent Jiang Xinghui from taking revenge on them in the future when she married into the Marquis' Mansion.
After figuring it out, Yun Qingnan coughed a few times in front of Yun Xi before speaking weakly.
"Sister, if that's the case, you can take the decorations in this room. My brother's health is like this anyway. If he can't be cured, there's no need to take those medicines. It won't be a waste of money."
As he spoke, Yun Qingnan coughed a few more times.
Yun Xi looked at Yun Qingnan's expression with concern, making sure whether he was okay.
Since Yun Qingnan was already ill, he didn't need to pretend to be ill for people to see how weak he was. Yun Xi naturally thought that his words had made his brother's condition worse, and he couldn't help feeling guilty.
Thinking of Jiang's father's tough attitude, the possible consequences for her if she failed to pay the dowry, and her daughter's marriage, Yun Xi hardened her heart and closed her eyes. When she opened them, there was no struggle in her eyes.
"Brother, I appreciate your kindness. Don't worry, I will find a famous doctor for you and Ping'er as soon as possible."
Yun Qingnan sneered in his heart. Seeing Yun Xi's hypocritical look, he felt annoyed and pretended to take a rest.
Seeing this, Yunxi quickly said goodbye.
Walking out of the yard, Mrs. Du followed Yunxi without saying a word.
Yunxi smiled and spoke to Madam Du, "Sister-in-law, I will leave first."
"Yunxi, I hope you remember what you said. If your husband hadn't promised you, I would have kicked you out of the Du Mansion today." Mrs. Du said coldly.
Yunxi was speechless. She always found it difficult to comfort this unreasonable woman.
"Sister-in-law..." She wanted to speak again.
Mrs. Du had already picked up the broom in the yard and was looking at them angrily.
"Get lost! The money is almost here, why don't you leave now? If you don't leave, I'll kick you out!"
As she spoke, she pretended to swing the broom and mercilessly hit the maid who was a step behind.
Yunxi and his group: "......"
This woman is crazy!
If it weren't for the etiquette he had developed over a long period of time, Yun Xi would have almost yelled at Mrs. Du!
She has explained it so many times, her lips are almost worn out, but this woman, is she stupid or deaf? She just won't listen!
Seeing that the maid had been hit, she quickly took a few steps back to avoid being affected, and the maid also hurriedly followed and took a few steps forward.
After a few steps, they were standing completely on the street.
Mrs. Du stopped beating people. She glanced at Yunxi, sneered, and then slammed the door shut with a bang.
The sound was so loud that everyone present, not just Yunxi, could deeply and clearly feel her anger and reluctance.
Yun Qingnan didn't know whether he was asleep or what, and there was no reaction at all.
