”Bam!” Yun Dong couldn't hold himself back anymore. He stood up and was about to chase after the young maid, but Yun Qiu stopped him. Yun Dong turned around and was about to say something when he heard Yun Qiu say, ”Little Dong, it's alright. I can take care of myself.”
As she said that, she looked at Yu'er who was standing beside her. Yu'er went back into the inner room, and before long, she took out a small bag. Inside the bag, there was a stack of silver taels. Yun Qiu held it and shoved it into Yun Dong's hands. ”Take this silver. It's more convenient to visit friends and have money for yourself.”
”Sis …” Yun Dong was about to decline when he saw Yun Qiu's face brimming with happiness.
The Rong family was the most skilled at surface work. Every month, they would have a fixed monthly allowance for their daily expenses, so naturally, Yun Qiu would have a monthly allowance as well. The Rong family did indeed, according to the usual practice, give a month's worth of money. However, there were very few people who were truly in Yun Qiu's hands.
This was a bold servant who took more than half of the monthly allowance along the way, leaving the rest in Yun Qiu's hands. After all, it was the Rong family's idea. Huge? The loyal marquis' residence was currently controlled by the Rong family.
Yun Dong might be young, but he had already seen a lot of schemes from a large family in the past few years. Thus, he knew that he had to rely on the business outside to earn his sister's money. 'Elder sister, as the loyal young master of a marquis, she still went public for the sake of living. No one would believe it if I told her, but these things really happened! '
”Little Dong, you're fine. Elder sister can relax.”
Yun Qiu said softly to Yun Dong. There was no resentment or grief on his face, only gentleness.
It seemed soft and weak, but it was actually really strong.
”Sis …”
Yun Dong knelt beside Yun Qiu, hugging her slender waist and sobbing like he did when she was young. At this time, he had completely forgotten about the proper etiquette.
His sister had always been a crafty person, but now that she was being so gentle and tolerant, it was all for his safety. How could he not know? However, he still couldn't help but feel wronged. If he was wronged, he could tell his sister, but what about her? All these years, for him, big sister has already suffered so much, so this time, he would definitely not let big sister suffer any more.
”What grievance?”
After Yun Dong heard this, he came back to reality and realized that he had said what he had decided. He was annoyed, but he knew his sister's personality and didn't dare to hide it, so he had to tell her everything.
”Elder sister, don't worry. This time, I will definitely not let the Rong family succeed. We will leave this place right now. The world is big, there will definitely be a place for us.” As he spoke, he made a gesture to drag Yun Qiu away.
Yun Qiu saw her brother like this and felt her heart warm. She shook her head and said, ”Little Dong, don't be rash. Just wait and see. Marriage is not child's play. Elder sister will not be wronged.”
Yun Dong was skeptical, but this was the only thing he could do. After all, he was still too young.
After sending Yun Dong off, Yun Qiu let out a light sigh, her delicate eyebrows knitted together.
She turned to the window and pushed it open with her hand. It was unknown when it started to rain outside, but the drizzling rain made Fei Fei feel as cold as early autumn.
