I just want to rob you of your luck

After Rong Qingchen met the eldest princess, he returned to the courtyard where he and Lin Jiuer lived.

Lin Jiuer had already arranged lunch for him.

When he saw Lin Jiuer, he walked over and pulled her to sit down.

Lin Jiuer also noticed that Rong Qingchen's face looked a little strange, so she asked tentatively, "Husband, is there something wrong with my father-in-law?"

Rong Qingchen sighed: "Let's not talk about this for now, let's talk about it after dinner."

After they finished their meal, Rong Qingchen looked at his newlywed wife with a bit of apology.

"Jiu'er, I'm about to leave for Southern Xinjiang."

Only then did Rong Qingchen tell Lin Jiuer what happened in southern Xinjiang.

It turns out that the southern Xinjiang guarded by Marquis Jingyuan has been quite stable in recent years, except for the many geological disasters there.

Every season has different disasters.

This time we encountered an earthquake that hasn't happened in decades. Now it's the rainy season, and the people in the disaster-stricken areas are living in dire straits.

The government there was seriously short of manpower and material resources, and every year Marquis Jingyuan would help with disaster relief.

The disaster this time was really too serious. Countless people and even soldiers were killed or injured, and there were continuous heavy rains, which brought a lot of difficulties to disaster relief.

If this continues, the victims will not be properly resettled and there will be a shortage of medical care and medicine, which may cause unrest in the border areas.

"Jiu'er, I've already told mother that I want to go there in person to support father, and mother agreed.

I am not sure when I will be able to come back, so I am afraid I will have to ask you to help me take care of my mother."

Lin Jiuer nodded vigorously: "My husband, this is a big deal. You can go and help your father-in-law with disaster relief. I will definitely guard the Jingyuan Marquis Mansion and take good care of my mother and wait for you to come back."

Rong Qingchen hugged Lin Jiuer tightly, feeling filled with emotion. He was so lucky to meet Jiuer and marry her as he wished.

At the same time, the palace also received this urgent information.

The emperor realized the seriousness of the matter and immediately summoned some ministers to discuss it.

At the same time, we arranged for people to raise some relief supplies overnight and prepared to send people to the disaster area for support.

Lin Jiuer knew that the matter was urgent, and she also wanted to help her father-in-law and the people in the disaster area.

She returned to the Lin Mansion while Rong Qingchen was in the palace asking for a chance to serve.

Mrs. Yao was a little surprised that her daughter came back suddenly.

Lin Jiuer said directly: "Mom, I want to discuss something with you. This time, the land dragon in southern Xinjiang has turned over, causing countless casualties, and it is also the rainy season, so the situation is very serious. Can our Lin family help?"

Then Lin Jiuer told Yao what happened in southern Xinjiang.

Yao agreed immediately: "This is also your father's last wish. The Lin family has been running a charity since its founding in order to give back to the country and the people. Tell me, do you need money or something else? I'll arrange it right away."

Lin Jiuer was really touched this time. She had an idea that now the Lin family only had the two of them, mother and daughter, and as the business grew bigger, wealth would continue to flow in.

The mother and daughter cannot spend all the money, and in the future they will definitely become fat meat in the eyes of the powerful.

Instead of that, it would be better to donate part of it now, gain a good reputation, and solve some worries.

After she told Yao her thoughts, Yao was silent for a while.

After all, this family business could be said to be the result of hard work by her and her husband. The amount Jiuer mentioned was really too huge, almost half of the Lin family's assets.

She had to think about it carefully, and finally Yao nodded and agreed.

Although the Lin family business was earned by her and her husband, her daughter also helped her a lot after her husband passed away.

In addition, she originally planned to pass these properties to her daughter in the future, so she also has the right to decide whether to keep or discard these assets.

What's more, this is a good deed of saving lives, so just consider it as accumulating virtue and blessings for Jiuer.

The emperor was also moved by Rong Qingchen's righteousness that day. He did not expect that his nephew would volunteer to go to the disaster area in southern Xinjiang to help with disaster relief.

Although we know that he is trying to help his father, not everyone has the courage to go there and suffer at this time.

What's more, this person is Rong Qingchen, who is idle and uneducated all day long.

The emperor directly appointed him as a special envoy for disaster relief and allocated him a troop of soldiers from the Beijing Guard Camp to command.

At the same time, the Ministry of Revenue allocated 500,000 taels of silver to the disaster area as disaster relief funds.

When Rong Qingchen returned to Jingyuan Marquis' Mansion that afternoon, he was stunned by the scene in the courtyard.

Even the princess was excited to see her son.

Seeing Lin Jiuer and the eldest princess looking at him with a smile, Rong Qingchen couldn't help but ask, "Mother, Jiuer, what are the dozen or so carriages in this yard used for?"

The eldest princess looked at Jiuer and felt a little emotional. She really made the right choice in marrying this daughter-in-law. Her broad-mindedness was simply incomparable to that of ordinary women.

"Chen'er, these are the supplies Jiu'er brought back to the Lin Mansion for the disaster area. They include food, medicinal herbs, as well as oilcloth and some daily necessities that are urgently needed in the disaster area."

Lin Jiuer smiled and went to greet him: "Husband, although I can't accompany you to the disaster area, I also want to contribute my efforts there, so that you can complete the work faster and better, and come back to accompany me earlier."

Then she pointed to a carriage and said, "This carriage is loaded with 500,000 taels of silver. Time is urgent today, so this is all we can get together. This jade token is the Lin family's token. If you don't have enough, you can withdraw silver at the Lin family's bank when you arrive in Southern Xinjiang."

As he spoke, he handed Rong Qingchen a white jade plate with the word "Lin" engraved on it in a strange font.

Rong Qingchen was so moved that he wanted to cry. He did not take the jade token, but walked over and hugged Lin Jiuer tightly in his arms.

Although the emperor also allocated 500,000 taels and some supplies this time, judging from the disaster situation, these things were far from enough.

Unexpectedly, his wife, such a weak woman in the harem, could solve his urgent problem.

"Jiu'er, thank you. This silver and supplies are enough. You can take back the jade token."

He also knew that the Lin family must have given him all the funds they could use this time, so how could he ask for so much more?

He remembered all these favors and would repay them when he returned.

Lin Jiuer could understand his feelings. She was also a little excited and emotional, but also a little reluctant.

She patted Rong Qingchen's back gently and said, "Husband, we are husband and wife, do you still want to be polite to me?

This is what my mother asked me to give you specifically. When you are away from home, even a penny can make a hero fall. How can the son-in-law of the Lin family be troubled by money?

These are my mother’s exact words. Take it, and take it back if you don’t need it.”

Rong Qingchen was deeply moved and did not refuse and took the white jade plate.

At this time, the two discovered that the eldest princess had left without them knowing.

The two smiled at each other, and Rong Qingchen pulled Lin Jiuer back to their yard.

The two of them clung to each other that night, as if they wanted to make up for the time they would spend away from home in the future.

At the same time, Panlong Village also received the news.

Lei Long hugged Qu Rouer and listened to his subordinates' reports. Qu Rouer finally smiled.

Qu Rouer had been always angry with him these past few days, saying that he was not doing his job well. In fact, it was because Lin Jiuer seldom went out, and Rong Qingchen was with her most of the time when she went out.

They had no way of doing it. They heard that Rong Qingchen was going to southern Xinjiang to provide disaster relief, and it would probably take a long time.

Qu Rouer regained her tenderness and sat on Lei Long's lap.

"Master, when Prince Rong leaves Shangjing this time, Lin Jiuer will definitely come out to see him off. I think this is a perfect opportunity to make a move."
