Chapter 37: Moonlight Returns She met him and easily lifted her up...

Jiang Yunjin had a sullen face, as if he had gritted his teeth, and the lines of his jaw were particularly clear.

Cui Yiluo hooked her hand around his jade belt and said with a smile, "Didn't my husband say that it was wrong for servants in the mansion to indulge in lust in broad daylight? Why did you undress just now?"

As he spoke, his soft palm reached out to Xia, holding her and growing up.

Jiang Yunjin suddenly closed his eyes, his handsome face was tense and his brows were furrowed.

Cui Yiluo smiled even more wantonly, her red lips parted slightly as she spoke clearly, "Husband, get out."

The words were returned to him intactly. Jiang Yunjin's eyes were extremely dark as he looked at her deeply. His breathing was still disordered, with traces of the intense emotion just now.

The smug look on Cui Yiluo's face and the hand pressing hard against his chest clearly showed that—

She did it on purpose.

Deliberately tease him until he is completely unable to control himself, and then push him away successfully, like pouring a basin of cold water on him, letting him see clearly how he has broken his rules.

I knew she did it on purpose, but I still lost control.

Jiang Yunjin closed his eyes, suppressed his lust, and stood up with the help of the couch. His neat official robe was now in a mess, with wrinkles on the hem, especially in that area, and there were also some marks on his upper body, which could be seen at a glance as having been caused by the woman's slender fingers.

Cui Yiluo chuckled at his gloomy expression. Fang said that he had violated the rules by committing adultery in broad daylight, and then turned around and pressed her down on the couch. He must have been feeling regretful and embarrassed at this moment.

But even deeper is the shame.

She liked to see his reaction like this, and she sat up with great interest, supporting herself on the couch with her hands, her expression unable to conceal her arrogance.

They stared at each other for a few moments, like the winner admiring the loser's embarrassment. Jiang Yunjin's eyes were calm, as if he was looking down at a deep pool. He was the first to look away, not knowing whether he was annoyed or avoiding it. He walked straight to the wardrobe, took out a set of clothes, and changed behind the screen.

There was a slight rustling sound of fabric rubbing against each other. When he came out after changing his clothes, the frosty-white robe made his handsome face look as gentle as jade. He turned back into his original cold and aloof gentleman - if you ignored the hideous look that followed.

Cui Yiluo watched with her chin in her hand, thinking that after being teased by her like this, he would either scold her or ignore her for a long time.

The man still looked unhappy, with a layer of frost on his face, but he walked directly towards Cui Yiluo and sat down on the other side of the couch, while seriously straightening the tilted coffee table.

He sat down directly on the other side of her, which surprised Cui Yiluo a little.

Then she realized that his passion had not yet subsided, so he would definitely not leave the room, otherwise he would tell everyone what they had just done in the room. How could he let everyone know that he was indulging in lust in broad daylight?

Cui Yiluo won a great victory this time and blocked his mouth. She calmly poured herself a cup of tea, sipped it slowly, and waited for him to start scolding her.

The charming atmosphere just now dissipated, and the bedroom gradually became quiet. The dusk became darker, unlike the golden light just now.

The two of them were silent for a long time. Cui Yiluo guessed that he was going to ignore her, so she waited calmly for his reaction to subside before he went out to serve the meal.

"It's not that I'm unreasonable about what happened today. As a junior, it's inappropriate to refute in public with the elders present."

He suddenly spoke, breaking the silence in the room.

Cui Yiluo sneered silently. He valued filial piety so much that he would naturally not reject Madam Jiang's order.

His voice was as low as water, and he spoke slowly, "I know you don't like complicated rules. I just said that I never thought you were wrong. Since you took over the accounting, it's hard for you to pay attention to the servants in the room. This is my fault. But what happened has happened, and you and I must bear the responsibility."

Cui Yiluo was slightly stunned. He actually took the initiative to explain to her? They had argued so much just now, and he had been teased by her, yet he could still hold his temper and talk so much, and even said that he never thought she was wrong.

After recovering from her shock, she sneered, "My husband is the responsible one, but I'm afraid Yiluo can't be as disciplined as him. It's reasonable for my husband not to trust me."

Of course she could understand why he didn't trust her, so she had deliberately toyed with him just now, just to prove to him that his rules were wrong.

"It's not that I don't trust you."

His tone was serious and his words were so powerful that Cui Yiluo was stunned. She subconsciously turned her eyes to him to figure out whether what he said was true or not.

But although his face was calm, his eyes were as serious as his tone. He stared into her eyes with an uncomfortable look on his face. It seemed that he had rarely explained things to others before. After all, with his status and position, and his neat and decisive style of doing things, who did he need to explain to?

But he continued, "If I didn't trust you, I wouldn't have handed over the affairs of the First House to you. But while you're in charge, I also have responsibilities. You and I are husband and wife, and as one, we should trust each other. If you're unhappy about what happened today, you can tell me directly."

Cui Yiluo looked into his eyes, and her words of rebuttal were suddenly blocked. When he said this, it sounded like she didn't trust him.

Tell him directly.

The last time Madam Jiang took away the key to her accounting office, he told her the same thing after he found out.

But would he really understand her unruly behavior? He was used to observing etiquette, and Cui Yiluo didn't think he would. But the seriousness in his tone made Cui Yiluo absurdly yearn for him. Perhaps she had really been walking alone for so long that she had begun to feel hopeful.

Cui Yiluo collected her thoughts and replied calmly, "Yiluo understands."

The room became quiet.

The conversation seemed to end here. Cui Yiluo didn't want to stay alone with him in the room anymore. She glanced at his waist and abdomen, which seemed to have disappeared. He had no intention of moving, so she planned to go out and serve the meal herself.

Just as I was about to stand up, I heard him ask, "Are you still dissatisfied?"

He asked again, Cui Yiluo sneered in her heart, she had so many things she was dissatisfied with, could he really help her solve them one by one?

So she answered, “No.”

Jiang Yunjin lowered his eyes, his expression darkened, and he said with his thin lips:

"Yiluo."

His tone was somewhat helpless and serious, and his face looked extremely uncomfortable, as if he was forced to speak. However, such an intimate address made Cui Yiluo stunned.

He might call her Yiluo in front of his elders, but in private, he would only call her by her full name or Ms. Cui when he was angry. He would never use the name "Yiluo" which showed intimacy.

He called her like that because when she was pressing him just now, she asked him if he wanted to continue calling her Cui, and he sensed her displeasure from it?

He is so sharp.

Cui Yiluo suddenly avoided looking at her. She had just said that she had no dissatisfaction with him, but he had actually noticed it a long time ago. The question just now seemed to give her a chance to speak.

She was usually very good at telling lies, but at this moment she suddenly lost her ability to act.

Fortunately, he didn't say anything more. He just straightened the hem of his robe and stood up. "I'll go serve the meal."

Cui Yiluo lowered her eyes and hummed softly.

This dinner was naturally a quiet one. She and Jiang Yunjin each used serving chopsticks to pick up their own dishes, just like they would if they were dining alone. But tonight, Cui Yiluo felt a sense of evasion. She felt his presence sitting across from her was extremely strong. She lowered her head and ate quietly, but it was still a bit torturous.

She shouldn't be affected. Cui Yiluo suppressed the strangeness in her heart.

After dinner, she called Lilan over.

Lilan took the order and left. After a while, she came back with a shocked look on her face.

Cui Yiluo frowned: "What happened? Did the old lady's people find out?"

Li Lan closed the door and shook her head, saying, "Miss, who do you think I ran into?"

Cui Yiluo felt relieved that it wasn't Madam Jiang's people. She flipped through the book in her hand and said calmly, "I don't think he'll run into Jiang Yunjin."

"That's right, young lady. I happened to hear the news."

Cui Yiluo paused as her fingertips were sliding across the pages of the book.

"I heard that it was the eldest son's order."

Cui Yiluo sneered, "Did he guess that I would ask you to bribe the human traffickers, so he sent someone to stop them?"

He really abides by the rules.

Li Lan shook her head, surprised, and said, "No, the eldest master actually had the same idea as the young lady. He told the traffickers to sell the person to the vicinity of Yunzhou, and even ordered that the old lady not be informed."

Cui Yiluo raised her eyes, and Lilan nodded very seriously.

Yunzhou is not far from Shengjing. Choosing this place will not let the old lady find out and can also save the lives of the two people.

But she didn't expect that Jiang Yunjin actually gave the same order as her and asked someone to keep it secret from Madam Jiang.

Isn't he the one who values ​​filial piety the most? Yet he would deceive his elders.

He had said before that as a junior it was inconvenient for him to refute his elders in public, so did he really feel the same way as she did, that Madam Jiang's actions were too cruel?

Did she actually blame him wrongly?

Cui Yiluo stared down at the scroll, but the handwriting was blurry and she couldn't make out a single word. Thinking back to the scene after returning to her room, she had felt relieved to have silenced him, but now it seemed absurd.

Her thoughts were in a turmoil, and she didn't notice Li Lan, who was standing beside her, speaking hesitantly again, "Miss... the eldest master would like you to go to the study."

-

Under the stars and the moon, the simple study is quiet, but the lights are brightly on, illuminating the bluestone brick in front of the room.

The door was wide open, and from a distance one could see a figure sitting in front of the table, standing straight as a pine tree.

Cui Yiluo's gaze lingered on the forsythia tree in front of the door for a moment, then she stepped inside.

Under the bright candlelight, Jiang Yunjin had already looked up at her when she reached the door of the study, and now he was watching her walk step by step to a few inches in front of the desk.

Cui Yiluo smiled faintly, "My husband, why did you ask me to come to such an important place as the study? Is there something important that you want to supervise me copying the family rules?"

Cui Yiluo's eyes fell on the empty space on his desk. It was obviously just cleared. Not only were there pens, ink, paper and inkstone, but there was also a rosewood chair.

She didn't even need to listen to his answer, she knew why he called her over. Cui Yiluo's heart sank. Did he really not trust her? It was just ten house rules, was it worth her asking someone else to do it?

The little bit of guilt that had just arisen for wrongly blaming him disappeared completely.

She walked straight to the empty chair next to him and sat down, neatly spread out the rice paper, and went to take the house rules he had placed on the table.

Just as she was about to pick up the book of family rules that was so thick that it seemed to be able to crush someone, a large hand with protruding knuckles suddenly stretched out in her sight and covered the back of her hand.

She witnessed the strength of his large hand every night. Now, it was pressed down by a thick book of family rules, and even her hand could not move.

Cui Yiluo's eyes turned cold, and she gripped the booklet even tighter, trying to compete with him.

He seemed to be competing with her, stubbornly refusing to let go, and his large palms wrapped around her hands. He didn't even need to use much force to easily hold her hands down so that they couldn't move.

Cui Yiluo sneered at him, "What are you doing, my husband? Could it be that I guessed wrong just now? My husband didn't ask me to come here to copy the family rules?"

As he said this, he tried to pull it out with even greater force.

He applied a little more force to suppress her hand restraint, and said with a frown: "I did ask you to come here to copy the house rules."

Cui Yiluo sneered, "What is my husband doing now?"

He pursed his lips again and continued, "There's no desk in the bedroom, and the coffee table is small. The desk in the study is wide, so it will save you some effort when copying."

Cui Yiluo paused her forceful hands, then released them. Only then did she realize that there was also a blank piece of rice paper in front of him, as if he had been waiting for her to arrive.

Cui Yiluo pulled her hand away. This time he didn't stop her. The warmth of his palm still lingered on the back of her hand. She said in an obscure tone, "My husband is really considerate."

It seemed that she had a deep prejudice against him and she directly wronged him right from the start.

But Jiang Yunjin was different from what she expected. He didn't show any intention of blaming her at all. His expression was as normal as if nothing had happened just now. He slowly opened the family rules.

"I'll copy it with you. When I go to court during the day, you can just come over."

He spoke calmly, but Cui Yiluo was slightly stunned.

"My husband has so many important documents in his study. Aren't you afraid that I might lose them or leak them?"

Jiang Yunjin lowered his eyes as he ground the ink. The thick black ink spread inch by inch on the warm stone of the Duan inkstone. He seemed oblivious to the hint of irony in her tone and said calmly, "I believe you."

Cui Yiluo suddenly lowered her eyes and said nothing more.

Jiang Yunjin didn't say anything else. He was always very focused when he was serious. Even when it came to copying, which Cui Yiluo thought was extremely boring, he could devote his whole heart to it.

Cui Yiluo looked sideways and saw that his long eyelashes were drooping, the bright candlelight outlined his tall nose bridge, and his slender fingers held the pen and wrote smoothly.

In an instant, the only sound in the study was the rustling of the wolf-hair brush tip grinding against the rice paper. The two of them were reading a book of family rules, so naturally they sat close to each other. She rested her left hand on the paperweight, and from time to time, it rubbed lightly against the sleeve of his right arm, which was holding the pen to write, causing a slight numbness.

Cui Yiluo held the paperweight a little harder, and suddenly she didn't know why they had to share one copy. She thought that he was frugal in his daily life and would not waste paper to make another copy. After all, the Jiang family rules were so complicated.

After copying it twice, Cui Yiluo found the Jiang family rules boring. After copying them for a whole night, she suddenly felt a little confused.

She glanced at Jiang Yunjin. He was still as serious as before. He had been copying for so long, but she hadn't seen him bend his back even for a moment. He was only focused on the things in front of him. It seemed that he hadn't noticed her sitting next to him all night.

She raised her left hand to support her head, covered her eyes with her sleeves, and closed her eyes peacefully. She has always been a light sleeper, and if he noticed, she would react immediately.

The scene in front of me fell into darkness, and even the rustling sound in my ears gradually faded away.

She seemed to be immersed in a quiet world.

I don’t know how long it took, but suddenly, my body felt empty.

The wolf-hair brush slammed down on the table with a "bang", and the thick ink stained the rosewood table.

In the flickering candlelight, Cui Yiluo raised her eyes in surprise and confusion, and her eyes were reflected in the sharp lines of the man's profile.

The next moment, she met Jiang Yunjin's dark eyes, who easily picked her up.
