Chapter 232 Helping Others is a Joy
After the Beginning of Winter.
It's getting colder.
After breakfast, Jiang Yunhu led his wife and children to go home.
Before leaving, he handed two silver notes to his younger brother and sister-in-law.
She was asked to prepare a dowry for Qiao'er.
They were thrilled to have a son-in-law like Yanshu.
He was filled with apprehension about the marriage alliance with the Sun family.
I have mixed feelings; I hope my daughter marries well, but I also worry that she might marry too well.
Her family will hold her back.
After seeing the group off, Lu Qingyao looked at the silver notes in her hand.
One thousand taels...
The eldest brother and sister-in-law really dote on their daughter; this must be all the savings they have left.
However, this is not surprising.
The eldest brother once gave Jiang Yunze his entire fortune, so how much more would he give his own daughter?
Seeing the carriage drive away, I was just about to turn back.
Then I saw a furtive figure at the door.
"Aren't you Jiang Zipei's page? What are you doing here?" Jiang Qiao'er ran over and blocked his way.
Seeing that there was no way to escape, the young page boy gritted his teeth and stepped forward, kneeling down in front of Lu Qingyao.
"Madam, this servant is Shuangrui, the Fourth Young Master's pageboy. I wish to see the Eldest Young Master..."
Lu Qingyao looked the young pageboy up and down.
He looked about twelve or thirteen years old, but he was still a child.
His clothes were wrinkled, and his hands appeared to have bruises and scrapes.
Did he get beaten up?
"Shuangrui, right? What do you want with Feng'er?" Lu Qingyao couldn't think of any reason why Jiang Zipei's page would come to find Feng'er.
Although they are brothers, they are not close.
We never played together when we were little.
She doesn't believe in any sibling affection.
Shuangrui pursed her lips, pondered for a moment, kowtowed to Lu Qingyao, and then said, "It's my son. He was bullied at the academy and pushed into the icy lake. I beg you... I beg you to save him..."
The fourth young master's mother and sister abandoned him and returned to the capital, leaving him all alone here.
We can only beg the eldest and second young masters.
Although it was a desperate measure, he thought about it and realized he had no one else to turn to.
Although the First Madam and his wife were irreconcilable enemies, in his eyes, it was his master who was constantly finding fault with and targeting the First Madam.
The First Madam always treated the beggars at the door with kindness and gentleness.
They also provided porridge and winter clothes to the displaced people.
He seems like a good person.
"Did your young master send him here?" Lu Qingyao couldn't help but ask curiously.
Qi Caiwei's son actually came to her for help.
That's utterly ridiculous.
Shuangrui replied cautiously, "This servant came by himself. When I arrived, the young master was still unconscious..."
They were afraid that the First Madam would turn around and leave, ignoring the young master.
"Tell me, your young master is, after all, the Minister's grandson. How could anyone dare to bully him? Even if he was bullied, why did you come to my son instead of the headmaster? Do you want my son to fight back? On what grounds?" Lu Qingyao sneered.
I don't know where this kid got his courage from.
Shuangrui opened his mouth, as if a fishbone was stuck in his throat.
He kowtowed several more times, tears streaming down his face like a flood, "Madam, please calm down, it's not like that..."
"Please, save my young master... he'll die..."
He didn't care about any grudges; all he knew was that the woman in front of him was his young master's lifeline.
The young master is pitiful, to have such a heartless mother and sister.
Lu Qingyao was so anxious when she saw that the little pageboy's forehead was covered in blood from banging his head.
It doesn't seem like a lie.
Even though Jiang Zipei was in such a state, this little pageboy remained so devoted to him; he was truly a loyal servant.
She waved her hand, "Alright, tell me in detail."
He then instructed the doorman to get him some wound medicine.
Shuang Rui was secretly delighted and quickly said, "Young Master was admitted to Donglin Academy through special admission, so the students there don't like him and ostracize him... And because of the rumors about Minister Qi that circulated a few days ago, the students dislike him even more..."
"No one wanted to share a room with him, and some people even secretly put insects, snakes, and ants in his room, and even attacked him... This time, they even pushed him into the icy lake. Fortunately, he was rescued by the academy's guards, otherwise..."
Jiang Qiao'er was greatly shocked, but fortunately...
Fortunately, Yanshu is not studying at Donglin Academy.
It's unbelievable that such a thing could happen at a renowned academy.
Lu Qingyao thought to herself, "This must be karma."
The sins committed by the Qi family father and daughter have actually come back to haunt their own child.
Donglin Academy had an unwritten rule that it would only accept students with outstanding talent, regardless of their wealth.
No age restrictions.
Only those who pass the academy's entrance exam can be admitted.
He had considered sending his two children to Donglin Academy, but their maternal grandfather was accused of such a crime.
Even if they pass the entrance exam, they will still be ostracized.
They are all teenagers with limited understanding and experience. How can you expect them to be able to distinguish right from wrong and not be disturbed by rumors?
Jiang Zipei's admission to university through the protection of her elders naturally caused displeasure among others.
In particular, his maternal grandfather, who was the Minister of Rites, led the way in embezzlement.
It's like a knife, tearing at the students' hearts.
It would be strange not to hate that grandfather and grandson.
Lu Qingyao asked, "Where is the headmaster? Didn't you report this matter to him?"
"We've reported that no evidence has been found. The headmaster and the students all agree that the Fourth Young Master jumped into the lake intending to commit suicide..."
"Mother, let my eldest brother and I go see fourth brother. You don't need to worry about this." A clear voice came from behind.
Lu Qingyao turned around and saw three children standing behind her.
I've been standing here for a while.
"Mother..." Jiang Miaomiao stretched out her arms, wanting her mother to hug her.
At this moment, she felt that she must have done a lot of good deeds in her past life to have met such a wonderful mother.
Looking back, I realize that I did indeed sponsor many children and do a lot of good deeds in my past life.
However, it eventually turned into the story of the fisherman and the snake.
She desperately wanted to recall that unbearable memory.
Now she was worried that if her mother helped Jiang Zipei, he would turn into a venomous snake and bite her back.
She stretched out her little hands to her brothers, "I want to go too, Miaomiao wants to see fourth brother too."
Lu Qingyao felt that these kids were being a little too enthusiastic today.
She hesitated for a moment, then asked her second son, "Yan'er, what do you want to do?"
“Mother, that’s easy. Saving lives is the most important thing. We need to get Fourth Brother out of Donglin Academy as soon as possible. As for other matters of justice, we can leave them to his powerful maternal grandfather.” Jiang Ziyan looked up at his little face and said very seriously.
"Go ahead, let your Aunt Xiuxiu go with you." Lu Qingyao looked at her son with great approval.
"Me too, I want to go too!" Jiang Miaomiao clung tightly to her older brother like a monkey.
Looking at her grinning daughter, Lu Qingyao straightened her face and stretched out her arms to her.
"You can't go. Go home with your mother."
The little girl stopped smiling, pouted, and obediently stretched out her hand to her mother.
Jiang Miaomiao was frustrated; her attempts to act cute towards her mother had no effect.
The others are all quite effective.
