I accidentally became the Eighth Lady in the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 176 Old 9 asks for money

Lao Jiu looked at Ma Qi's panicked back and felt that things in the world are unpredictable, and some things are really beyond people's expectations! There is nothing that others can't do, except what you can't think of!

Lao Jiu came up to Lao Ba and asked curiously, "Brother Ba, is this true or false?"

The eighth brother looked at the ninth brother with an oppressive look, which made him extremely uncomfortable. However, when he was about to lose control, the eighth brother said calmly, "No one would say that his biological mother doesn't love him for no reason!"

The Tenth Prince nodded in agreement. He felt that what the Eighth Prince said was actually something that they, the princes, could understand more deeply. Life in the palace made them understand the darkness of human nature. Not all parents would love their children unconditionally.

Just like their emperor father is partial to him, so they don't want to care about it anymore; or like Empress Defei, both are sons, but one is a treasure and the other is just a weed!

The ninth and tenth brothers felt that they were actually quite lucky. Although they did not receive much love from their father, they were not lacking in love!!

Lao Jiu: "Then, Brother Ba, what should we do about your marriage with Yunyan?"

When Lao Ba heard Lao Jiu's words, he showed an unhappy look, and said to Lao Jiu and Lao Shi with a serious face: "Lao Jiu, Lao Shi, it happens that you two are here today, there are some things I will only say once, I hope you remember them in your heart!"

When the Ninth and Tenth Brothers saw the serious look on Old Eighth's face, they became a little nervous for some reason. From childhood to adulthood, they rarely saw Old Eighth look serious with them. Every time he showed this expression, it meant that something big had happened!

Lao Shi: "Eighth Brother, if you have anything to say, just say it directly. Although Ninth Brother and I may not always agree with each other, we will definitely listen to what you say, Brother Ba!"

Lao Ba's heart softened. No matter in the past or present life, no matter whether he was in power or out of power, Lao Jiu and Lao Shi had always stood by his side without hesitation, never betrayed him, and even wanted to help him regardless of the consequences!

Lao Ba's expression eased a little. He was no longer as serious as before!

Old Eight: "Old Nine, Old Ten, if Yan'er makes you feel wronged in the future, you can come to me to vent your anger, but I don't want to hear any of your words about her being bad. To me, no matter what happens, it's not his fault. Do you understand?"

Lao Ba: "And you two should change your words. Stop calling her Yunyanyunyan every time. Is this the name you two should call her by?"

At first, when the Ninth and Tenth Brothers heard what the Eighth Brother said, they felt a little aggrieved in their hearts. But when they heard the Eighth Brother's last words, they rolled their eyes in silence. What a jealous guy!

Lao Jiu stretched out his hand and fanned his nose, then deliberately turned his head to pretend to be serious and said to Lao Shi, "Lao Jiu, you don't smell anything, why is it so sour?"

Lao Shi suppressed his laughter and said, "It is indeed quite sour. Maybe someone is jealous and is upset?"

Old Eight sat behind the desk, watching the performances of Old Nine and Old Ten. He didn't feel angry, but instead had a smiling face, which made Old Ten and Old Nine feel extremely bored!

Lao Jiu: "Got it! Next time we meet, just call me Eighth Sister-in-law, okay?"

Lao Ba nodded with satisfaction and said, "Of course!"

But the tenth brother said maliciously: "Ninth brother, if you go and call the eighth sister-in-law now, will the eighth sister-in-law whip you?"

This question stumped Lao Jiu. If it was another woman, he could still guess, but Yunyan really couldn't guess it, because ordinary women only have two choices, but Yunyan has a third choice!

Lao Jiu often complained about Yun Yan in private. Only he, the mynah brother, could control her fickle temper. If it were him, he would have given up long ago. It wasn't because of worldly obstacles, but because of other people's attitudes. He really couldn't handle it!

Lao Jiu looked at Lao Ba with a blank look, but he only saw that Lao Ba looked thoughtful.

Lao Ba: "Well... maybe it's possible. After all, she hasn't been in a good mood these past two days!"

Lao Jiu's mouth twitched and he decided to skip this question. If he didn't, he would be stuck in this pit and unable to get out!

Lao Jiu: "By the way, Brother B, when are you going to settle the bill?"

Lao Ba asked in bewilderment, "Lao Jiu, what account are you talking about? Why can't I remember what I owe you?"

When Lao Jiu saw Lao Ba’s clueless look, he thought that Butler Lin had not told him the truth yet, so he started to explain!

Lao Jiu: "Eighth Brother, you are such a busy man, so busy that you don't even care about the affairs of the mansion. Butler Lin has taken a lot of things from me these past two days!"

Lao Ba looked as if he had suddenly realized something. Lao Jiu thought that the money was now safe, but he did not expect Lao Ba to say with a rogue look on his face, "Didn't you give it to me?"

When Lao Jiu heard what Lao Ba said, he was stunned and his eyeballs almost popped out of his head. By the time he reacted, he almost vomited blood.

If it was just some ordinary things, he certainly wouldn't be so tasteless as to come to ask for money, but what did Steward Lin bring? They were all rare treasures!

Lao Jiu immediately became anxious. If he couldn't get the money, his shop would be closed!

Lao Jiu: "Brother Ba, you can't do this! Manager Lin is almost emptying out my shops, you know that? If you don't give me money, I'm almost unable to make ends meet!"

Lao Ba still said calmly, "Lao Jiu, your brother and I are getting married, shouldn't you bleed a little?"

Lao Jiu had a depressed face and was about to cry. He said miserably: "It's Brother Ba's big day. As his younger brother, I should pay a little. But Brother Ba, you are a prince after all. Can you have some dignity? People only know that you are getting married. Those who don't know may think it's me."

Lao Jiu: "Brother Ba, I don't care! I can only give you a 40% discount at most. I am almost starving to death because of this loss. If you don't give me any money, I will stay at your house. Who made me have no money to eat? If you don't care about me, who will?"

The more Lao Jiu thought about it, the better he thought this was a good idea. He sat on a chair nearby with an excited look on his face. He even imagined a beautiful scene in the future. Unfortunately, this scene was soon broken!

The tenth brother was watching the show with a gloating look on his face. He didn't even have to think about it. Of course he knew what his ninth brother was planning. Of course he could also predict how his eighth brother would solve the matter.
