"Save someone?" Tao Wanwan sneered, her eyes raised, "Where is that person?"

"I didn't bring the person back, but I brought back the conditions they set."

"Conditions?" Madam Tao looked at Jiang Shuyue, "What are the conditions?"

Tao Yide also looked at Jiang Shuyue and waited for her to speak.

"General Pei's men were injured, and he was angry. He wants some compensation."

"A general is asking us for compensation?" Tao Yide frowned. "Didn't the emperor just give him a reward?"

"Three shops, three thousand taels of silver."

"Isn't this robbery?" Tao Wanwan blurted out, "You didn't agree?"

"I didn't agree, and I don't have the money. Didn't I come to discuss this with my parents?"

The result of the discussion was that the Tao family had to suffer this loss.

"Dad, Mom, if you ask me, the General's Mansion is bullying others by taking advantage of its power. Why don't we go to the government office? Even if he is a general, there will always be someone who can control him, right?" Jiang Shuyue suggested.

"Can't!"

If we go to the yamen, the matter will be exposed, and if we lose again, our two sons will be ruined.

No, absolutely not.

"The General's Mansion is going too far." Tao Yide said loudly and slammed the table to show his anger.

"Let's find..."

Tao Wanwan almost blurted out the answer, but she closed her mouth in time.

"Dad, do you really want to give it to me?"

Is it okay if I don’t give it?

Tao Yide looked at Jiang Shuyue and the huddled Tao Lanlan. He almost didn't recognize that she was his daughter.

Tao Lanlan's mother was a maid. He got her pregnant after he had sex with her while drunk. However, her mother was really unlikable, not pretty enough, and couldn't coax people, so Tao Yide seldom went to her.

Later, when Tao Lanlan's mother, Aunt Li, grew old, Tao Yide went to her yard even less often.

"Shuyue, go down first. Your mother and I will think of a solution."

Jiang Shuyue nodded and left with Tao Lanlan.

"Sister-in-law, I...I'm going back."

Jiang Shuyue curled her lips, "After something like this happened, I'm a little upset. If you have nothing to do, can you accompany me?"

Tao Lanlan looked at her gentle sister-in-law and had no intention of refusing. "Okay, it's just that... I'm not very good at talking, so please don't despise me, sister-in-law."

"It doesn't matter. I just came to this family and I don't know anyone well. I'm content to have someone to accompany me."

There are many delicious snacks and fruits in Jiang Shuyue's room, which are not available at Tao Lanlan and her mother's place.

Jiang Shuyue saw it and said, "You didn't even eat lunch. You must be hungry. Eat something to fill your stomach first."

"I... am not hungry, you can keep these for yourself."

"Silly girl, how can such a big house lack a little snack from me? Just eat it. If you don't have any more, I'll ask mom for more."

Tao Lanlan ate one piece, and when she looked at the second piece she hesitated, stretched out her hand and then retracted it.

"If you like it, I'll give it all to you. I don't like sweet food, so this is too sweet for me."

Tao Lanlan was flattered and only dared to accept it after asking repeatedly.

"Sister-in-law, you are so kind. I know you feel sorry for me." Tao Lanlan said in a low voice.

Jiang Shuyue smiled and said, "Silly sister, we are all family, why should we say pity or not."

Not a family.

Tao Lanlan wanted to say something, but she didn't dare to. She was afraid that if the trouble was exposed, she and her mother would be dead.

"Sister-in-law, no one has ever been so nice to me, and no one has ever told me these things," Tao Lanlan said.

Jiang Shuyue sighed and chatted with her idly.

On the other hand, Tao Yide didn't want to pay so much money, and he didn't trust Jiang Shuyue, for fear that she had embezzled something.

But in the end, he didn't even get to see General Pei. General Pei said that if he didn't bring money, they would not be able to see him.

"How much?" Tao Yide asked.

The housekeeper glanced at him and said, "Didn't your young mistress say that? Three shops, three thousand taels of silver, not a penny less."

"You...you are robbing me." Although Tao Yide knew that Jiang Shuyue was not greedy for money, he was still frightened by the amount.

"You almost hurt our general. The brother who fought with him through thick and thin was injured. He is being treated in the back now. If he dies, you will have to pay with your life."

"If you don't agree, go to the government office."

Not to mention it’s unreasonable, even if it was reasonable, Tao Yide wouldn’t dare to go.

He was bound to suffer this loss in silence.

He didn't really care whether Xiao Lin lived or died, but nothing could happen to his two sons.

There was no other choice, Tao Yide could only go home to raise money.

Although he could afford the money and the shop, it was like cutting off his own flesh.

He was really distressed.

In order to prevent the Pei family from going back on their word after seeing that he took the money too quickly, he deliberately waited for two days before sending the money.

It didn't even pass through Jiang Shuyue's hands during the whole process.

"Where are the people?" Tao Yide asked.

"He'll be here soon."

Tao Yide had lost his patience waiting until his three sons were brought out.

Everyone had wounds on their faces, and Xiao Lin was no exception.

"You...you guys...ah...get back now."

Tao Yide was furious, but he managed to control his temper and didn't lose his temper at the door of the general's mansion.

"Oh, my son, you've suffered. Why were you beaten like this?" Mrs. Tao rushed over when she saw her two biological sons, looking at one and then the other.

Then she realized something and symbolically checked Xiao Lin's injuries.

"You guys... you are so old, but you don't know the seriousness of the matter. Don't you want to live? Why did you fight with General Pei?"

The three of them bowed their heads in silence.

"If you ask me, Second Brother and Third Brother, they were not like this before. They have seen all kinds of girls. Do they really need to fight over a woman?"

The implication is that he was taken there by Xiao Lin.

Jiang Shuyue was worried that she would not have a chance to show her talent. "Xiao Lin, I knew it was you. Do you dislike me?"

Xiao Lin: "..."

So fast?

No sign.

"I……"

"Are you worthy of me?"

"I……"

"You...I want to divorce you."

Tao Wanwan wants to divorce just because she wants to. She really thinks she is a piece of cake.

"I want everyone in the capital to know that you, Xiao Lin, are a heartless man."

After these words were spoken, Mrs. Tao could no longer sit still.

"Shu Yue, calm down, it's not Xiao Lin." Madam Tao glared at her two sons, "He is honest and devoted to you, how could it be him, is it you two brats?"

Tao Yunlong and Tao Yunfei nodded reluctantly.

Of course, the fact is that they started the fight first, but I didn't think so at the beginning. I don't know what happened at that time, and what the conversation was about. After the fight, I found out that it was General Pei's men.

"Sister-in-law, please calm down." Tao Yunlong said.

Jiang Shuyue snorted coldly, "No, my man is jealous of another girl. I am too ashamed to face anyone. Xiao Lin, I want to divorce you."
