Chapter 76 76 Nonsense, simply nonsense
The red leaves next to me heard that their jaws dropped.

"There's no reason to get the money you gave away. The old lady and the Marquis don't feel ashamed either."

Jiang Ruanxi's eyes were full of sarcasm, a truth that every maid knew, but none of them knew.

How blind she was in her last life, even someone like Lin Ningkun could see.

She now wants to slap her former self several times.

But since they wanted it back, why not give them some reason.

"I remember that the patriarch seems to have a nephew who was promoted not long ago?"

Shugen immediately understood what Jiang Ruanxi meant, but still asked a little uncertainly, "Madam, what do you mean?"

"If the old lady feels that her money has not been spent, then you should let the old lady know where her money has been spent." Jiang Ruanxi said with a smile.

That afternoon, after Zhou got the news, she hurried to Lin Runkun's house.

"Patriarch, the thing you gave to the Marquis was not completed. Should you return the money?" Mrs. Zhou originally came from a peasant family. She has never been like a noble lady in Kyoto and does not mince words.

She is a womanly person, so she doesn't mince words.

Lin Runkun's face darkened as he was so straightforward and disrespectful.

"What nonsense are you talking about? I already took care of the money you gave me, and the errands were planned for the Marquis. But who knew that something like that happened to your Marquis? The errands were just a waste of money. How can I get the silver back?"

"Mother, what are you talking about?" Lin Ningkun rushed over after hearing this, and started to stop Zhou, even complaining about why she was so restless.

Zhou didn't care about this and asked, "Clan Chief, did you really go and use all the money we gave you to the Marquis?"

Lin Ningkun paused slightly and looked at Lin Runkun with suspicion.

Lin Runkun immediately became angry, "What do you mean? Do you mean that I embezzled the money?"

"The money is in your hands, you can say whatever you want. Anyway, no one else can verify it."

Lin Runkun was so angry that he blew his beard and stared.

"Nonsense, it's just nonsense. How can I do such shameless things at such an old age?"

"Then chief, please explain, why did your nephew Lin Shu find a good job when the Marquis' matter was not completed? Chief, please don't tell me that Lin Shu found the job for himself."

Lin Runkun was stunned, not expecting that she would suddenly mention this matter, thinking that they knew something, panic flashed in his eyes, but he quickly calmed down.

But it didn't escape Lin Ningkun's eyes, and he immediately understood that what Zhou said was right.

"Clan leader, how can you use our money to smoothen Lin Shu's relationship?"

Now that everything was known, Lin Runkun stopped pretending and said directly, "They are all descendants of the Lin family. You won't need it anyway. I have already given this gift away, so there is no need to waste it, right?"

For him, as long as he is a descendant of the Lin family, no matter who is promising, it is the same, as long as he can carry forward the Lin family.

Lin Ningkun's face turned cold.

"Patriarch, you can't say that. If Lin Shu uses his own money to ask you for help, I don't have any meaning, but he should never use our prince's money to smoothen the relationship."

Lin Runkun also knows the truth.

"Now that the matter is over, shall I ask Lin Shu to return the money to you?"

Lin Runkun felt that Zhou's mother and son were difficult to deal with, and this matter had not been accomplished before, so they kept it secret from each other. Now that they already knew, there was no need to say anything more.

"No." Lin Runkun frowned, a little impatient, "I can't even pay back the money, so what do you want?"

"If Lin Shu didn't take our money, how could he get such a good job? Isn't it not good to just return the money?"

Mrs. Zhou also agreed, "Yes, after all, we are still Lin Shu's great benefactors. Isn't it too easy to repay the favor just by repaying it so simply?"

Lin Runkun looked at the greedy faces of Zhou's mother and son, and his expression could not help but become solemn, "Let's go back and discuss it first to see how Lin Shu wants to repay you, and then we can talk about it after you have thought about it, how about?"

"Don't think about it, we have decided that either Lin Shu will give up this errand position, or all his salary from now on will be ours." Zhou spoke almost without thinking.

Jiang Ruanxi happened to walk to the door, and when he heard these words, a sneer appeared on his lips.

Zhou is really a lion with a big mouth!

"I will not agree to any of the conditions you mentioned."

Lin Runkun was still shocked by these words, when Lin Shu came in with somewhat angry words from outside.

Lin Ningkun looked along the sound and saw that besides the gentle and frail Lin Shu, there was also Jiang Ruan Xi.

He frowned slightly, questioningly.

What is she doing here?
Jiang Ruanxi did not explain, but slightly moved his eyes away.

His heart sank.

Zhou's sharp and mean voice sounded, "What are you doing here? You also brought Jiang Ruan Xi. Do you think this is not embarrassing enough?"

"I'm talking to the Marquis here, why are you here to join us?" After Zhou finished talking about Lin Shu, she looked at Jiang Ruan Xi again, her eyes filled with hatred.

If it weren't for her words, how could their Hou Mansion end up in such a situation?
"Mother has misunderstood me. I didn't come on my own initiative, but the patriarch asked me to come."

Zhou and Lin Ningkun became more and more puzzled, and both looked at Lin Runkun.

"It's true that I asked her to come, but it's another matter that I asked her to come."

When facing Jiang Ruan Xi, Lin Runkun's expression obviously improved a lot.

"But before talking about this matter, I'd better explain Lin Shu's matter clearly." Lin Runkun looked at Lin Shu, "You heard what I just said, what do you think?"

Lin Shu looked solemn and said, "Uncle, I originally won the imperial examination in this palace examination. Even if my uncle doesn't help me, I can still get a medium-sized official position, so my cousin said I want my official position." , as long as the Holy One agrees, I have no objection."

Lin Ningkun's face darkened, and Mrs. Zhou was also dumbfounded.

She just wanted to act arrogant because she was a woman and a child. How could she really want that official position?

Besides, it is impossible for His Majesty to give the official position to Lin Ningkun.

"Also, if you want my future salary, I will explain the situation to the court. From now on, your mansion will collect my salary every month." Lin Shu didn't feel any emotion at all. He said calmly.

Jiang Ruanxi saw Lin Ningkun and Zhou's faces flushed.

I couldn't help laughing in my heart.

It seems that those who treat shameless people can only be more shameless than them.

"Oh, Lord Marquis, mother. It's such a shameful thing. If you get a salary in the future, you'd better go and get it yourself. I won't go."
