Daily life of the mistress

Chapter 64: Without Money, Everyone is Vulgar

Lu Lingyun issued a clear order to forbid the Marquis' Mansion to lend money at high interest rates. Firstly, it was because high interest rates were dirty money and earning money from it was really against the law of nature. Secondly, she knew that there would be a big explosion in the high interest rates soon.
    The weather was extremely cold this winter, and private lending increased a lot. Many families could not make ends meet, so they went to wealthy families to borrow money at high interest rates to get through the winter. They could not pay it back the next year, so they sold their children and many murders occurred.

    The matter attracted the attention of the higher-ups. After a thorough investigation, the imperial court found out that it was caused by usury, and severely cleaned up a wave of loan sharks. At that time, all those who were found out were punished.

    Not only were they not allowed to take the money back, but it also affected their careers.

    Lu Lingjun didn’t know what influence the Marquis’ Mansion had in the previous life, she only knew that the Li family was investigated at that time.

    Wei secretly lent money at high interest rates, which caused her husband and father-in-law to be fined and have their half-year salaries confiscated, and their careers were damaged. The entire Li family fell into a haze.

    Fortunately, the spring imperial examination was approaching, and Lu Lingyun helped Li Wenxun to rise to prominence. Once he passed the imperial examination, he also indirectly helped the Li family and allowed the Li family to revive.

    Without her help in this life, the Li family’s loan crisis this time would definitely not be that simple.

    She sent the housekeeper Qian away without rushing to inform Qin first. Qin would be returning home in a few days, and then she would tell her in person about the usury.

    Lu Lingjun continued to look at the account books and take care of household chores, while Xing Dairong in the backyard had also been busy these days.

    "Yun Shuo, the child has been kicking me these past two days."

    As soon as Cheng Yunshuo returned home, he was pestered by Xing Dairong.

    During this period, Lu Lingjun was busy and ignored the two concubines, and Qiu Ling ignored Cheng Yunshuo, so Xing Dairong had no competitors.

    He pesters Cheng Yunshuo all day long.

    As she was always flirting with him, Cheng Yunshuo actually indulged her a lot.

    "Then you should have a good rest and don't come out too often." Cheng Yunshuo accompanied her into the house.

    There were three pots of charcoal burning in her room, the same specifications as Lu Lingyun's. As a rule, there was only one pot in her aunt's room. Since she was pregnant, Lu Lingyun gave her an extra pot of charcoal as a rule, and the other pot was ground from Cheng Yunshuo.

    Fortunately, Cheng Yunshuo is now an official and receives a monthly salary from the court. Otherwise, he would not know where to get the money for the charcoal if he did not receive the monthly salary from the government for a year.

    "No, it's the child who misses his father." Xing Dairong said in a sweet voice into Cheng Yunshuo's ear.

    "How old is he? How can he have any ideas?" Cheng Yunshuo sat down and said honestly.

    "Mother and child are connected by heart. If you don't believe me, just touch it." Xing Dairong grabbed his hand and placed it on his chest.

    Cheng Yunshuo: "......"
