Chapter 42 Double Silk Screen Cui Yiluo, This is in the Study

After the play ended, Cui Yiluo could only sense the man's aura beside her gradually weakening. Just now, on stage, the actors had been passionately rebelling against conventional ethics. This kind of drama, where love and desire broke the rules, must have offended Jiang Yunjin. His expression darkened in the latter half, hinting at displeasure.

The coachman had already driven the carriage out of the back alley. Jiang Yunjin turned sideways and let her get on first.

He was always so polite. He stood there and Cui Yiluo was unable to say a few words to Lilan.

When getting on the carriage, Cui Yiluo glanced at Lilan casually. Lilan supported her and gave her a knowing look of reassurance.

It seemed that everything was peaceful. Luoyun Lane was being guarded by Lilan and her men. Even if those people wanted to go to Jiang Mansion on their own, it would be impossible.

Cui Yiluo made up her mind, but she still couldn't help thinking that Yao was not someone who would give up easily. If she sent them back without leaving any trace this time, she would just use more tricks next time.

She couldn't keep staring at Jiang Yunjin for a long time. Moreover, with Jiang Yunjin's keen sense, he would probably become suspicious after two or three times. If he found out that she had come to Beijing without telling her family, it would be even more disadvantageous to her.

Unnoticed, the man behind him frowned.

In the spacious courtyard, the light from the bedroom shines faintly through the window paper onto the bluestone bricks in front of the house.

Cui Yiluo sat on the couch in front of the window, combing her hair, her movements slow and her brows slightly furrowed. The sound of water in the bathroom suddenly stopped, but she didn't notice until the man's cold voice suddenly reached her ears.

"What are you thinking about?"

Cui Yiluo was so shocked that her heart stopped.

Tongfa's hand paused, then slowly combed to the end of the hair. Cui Yiluo calmed down and placed the white jade comb on the small table. It looked even more crystal clear under the candlelight.

When Cui Yiluo raised her eyes to look at the man, a smile appeared on her face, just like usual, and it seemed that no one could tell anything was wrong.

She said calmly, "I was just thinking about the play I just watched. It's been a while since I last watched a play, so I'm a little unsatisfied."

He really didn't like the drama just now. As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Yunjin's expression suddenly darkened.

But it was just a play after all, and Jiang Yunjin, though unhappy, probably wouldn't argue with her about it. Sure enough, he didn't say anything, only keeping a gloomy face and keeping silent.

Cui Yiluo was afraid that he would see through what had happened before, so her eyes suddenly softened, as if a spring stream was flowing gently in her eyes, flowing towards him captivatingly.

She changed the subject: "Husband, do you want to be settled?"

The man's eyes darkened. Cui Yiluo looked at him ready to strike, and the smile on her lips became even wider. But after a little teasing, he responded.

But he didn't acquiesce as she had imagined, as usual, and said calmly, "It's too early."

He slowly walked to the other side of the couch and sat down, picking up the book he had taken out to read while waiting for her to take a bath.

Cui Yiluo also found the matter rather dull and monotonous. Seeing him reading, she felt preoccupied and remained silent, her face lowered, feigning a serious expression. The room suddenly fell silent, with only the faint sound of wind filtering in through the cracks in the window.

"Is there something important today?"

Cui Yiluo raised her eyes and was suddenly caught in the man's deep gaze, as if he could see through her. Her heart inexplicably beat faster.

She lowered her eyes to avoid his gaze, and continued to comb her hair as if nothing had happened. She smiled softly and said, "Why do you ask me that, my husband?"

"You didn't seem to bring your maid with you when you came out."

Cui Yiluo's lowered eyes flashed with a hint of ruthlessness. When he went out, he was accompanied by other maids and palace guards to protect him. He was so perceptive that he could notice that one person was missing among so many people.

It's really difficult to deal with.

Her smile remained unchanged. "Husband, you are talking about Lilan, right? I sent her out to do some shopping, so she came here later."

She spoke vaguely, fearing that it would really arouse Jiang Yunjin's suspicion and send people to investigate, which would make it difficult to conceal the truth.

It seems she has to deal with that family as soon as possible.

She secretly observed Jiang Yunjin's reaction carefully. Seeing that he only responded softly and then lowered his eyes to read the book, he seemed to be just a little suspicious and asked the question. She felt relieved.

Because of the play, he was in a bad mood, so the two of them lay down to sleep with their clothes on and had a peaceful night.

The next day, Jiang Yunjin was on his day off. When Cui Yiluo finished copying the family rules and handed them to the old lady, she was inevitably scolded by her again. Although Jiang Yunjin had stood up to her and stood up to her in the previous incident, it did not prevent the old lady from being dissatisfied with her.

But she always responded with little reaction and just lowered her head, which made people feel like punching cotton. After scolding her for a few words, the old lady felt annoyed and bored, so she asked Minggu to send Cui Yiluo away.

"Young Madam, please don't blame the Old Madam. She's just taken over the main house, and if she's more relaxed than before, it's inevitable that the servants will become impatient. Last time, the eldest son risked being scolded by the Old Madam and then being punished by the family law to guarantee the young madam. The eldest son trusts the young madam so much, so the young madam doesn't want to let him down, right?"

When she arrived at the old lady's courtyard gate, Cui Yiluo was about to leave when she suddenly heard Minggu speak.

Cui Yiluo subconsciously asked, "Did he suffer family punishment?"

She clearly remembered that he told her that the old lady did not scold him.

Ming Gu carefully examined Cui Yiluo for a few moments, and seeing that she truly was completely oblivious, it was obvious that the eldest son had concealed this matter. She couldn't help but be secretly shocked, and after a few thoughts, she said in a gloomy tone, "The eldest son has always disliked sharing his personal affairs with others, so it's normal that the young lady doesn't know. But don't worry, the young lady, the eldest son is the most accomplished official in the Jiang family for generations, a pillar of the country, and the old lady has never used family rules."

It was for this reason that the old lady worried that such a promising young man with outstanding political achievements would be seduced by his first taste of passion. Fortunately, however, the eldest son seemed to still prioritize state affairs, and within the court, he was increasingly favored by the emperor. He remained indifferent to his wife, Cui Yiluo, and there was nothing special about him. The old lady was finally relieved.

"The eldest son has always followed the rules of propriety. In aristocratic families, the mistress always manages the household business. Therefore, even though the young lady has never managed any shops or farms, the eldest son has made her learn to accept it. Young lady, the Jiang family is a large and powerful family. For the sake of the eldest son, you should pay more attention. Last time, someone under his command did something like that. Not only does the old lady, but the eldest son also doesn't want to see it happen again."

After Minggu finished speaking, she saw Cui Yiluo with her eyes downcast as if she was thinking about something, and guessed that she must have heard everything she said, so she stopped talking, bowed to Cui Yiluo, and turned back to the courtyard.

"lady?"

The maid beside her spoke carefully.

"Let's go."

Cui Yiluo also turned and walked towards Yuzhuyuan, but her mind could not calm down.

Manager Liu said that he knew that Minggu had managed several shops before she got married. She had always thought that it was because Mrs. Jiang sent someone to check on her that she found out. But just now Minggu said clearly that she had never managed any shops in the manor before, and it seemed that Mrs. Jiang had mentioned it last time. However, she was angry and resentful because the key to the accounting office was taken back at that time, so she didn't pay attention to it for a while.

As for Mrs. Jiang, she had no idea that she had ever been in charge of the shop.

Obviously, there was only one person who could tell Manager Liu about this.

Jiang Yunjin knew about this and sent someone to investigate her?

Jiang Yunjin was a cautious person, so it wasn't surprising that he'd thoroughly research her before marrying her. But if he'd investigated her, wouldn't he have discovered the kind of people her father and stepmother were? Would he be willing to take such a risk? Wasn't he afraid that something might happen in the future that would tarnish the Jiang family's reputation?

Moreover, Jiang Yunjin insisted on handing over the affairs of the first house to her, even at the cost of contradicting his respected grandmother again. Could it be that, as Minggu said, it was just because he was old-fashioned and that the noble families would train a mistress to manage the family business. Since he married her, he could only train her to manage the family business?

Cui Yiluo thought about it carefully and found it very contradictory. She couldn't figure out what Jiang Yunjin was thinking. Perhaps she had never understood what kind of person Jiang Yunjin was.

Cui Yiluo was confused and walked to Yuzhu Courtyard unknowingly. She subconsciously asked where Jiang Yunjin was. After asking, she realized that even if Jiang Yunjin was on leave, he must be working in the study. Why should she ask this question?

She turned towards the study, paused, and after a few breaths turned back to her room.

She had originally planned to go to Luoyun Lane today to resolve the matter with that family, but unfortunately Jiang Yunjin happened to be on vacation today. He stayed in the mansion all day, and if she wanted to leave the mansion, she would be in danger of being discovered by him.

Cui Yiluo was just wondering whether to take the risk when Lilan suddenly came trotting over with an anxious look on her face.

"Miss, the letter was taken away by Wen Feng. I was just a little bit away but failed to stop it. I'm afraid Wen Feng has already delivered it to the eldest master's study."

Upon hearing this, Cui Yiluo immediately stood up and walked quickly towards the study.

Lilan trotted after him and added in a low voice, "But Wenfeng was holding a stack of letters, and Yao's letter was just sandwiched in between. I was just about to pull out Yao's letter when Wenfeng arrived."

Cui Yiluo asked in a low voice, "Didn't you get suspicious after hearing this?"

If Wen Feng becomes suspicious and reports it to Jiang Yunjin, Jiang Yunjin will definitely guess what's going on and immediately read the letter.

Fortunately, Lilan shook her head and said, "No, I heard the news and only pretended to take the letter from the young lady."

Cui Yiluo breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that, quickened her pace, and soon arrived outside the study.

Previously, because she borrowed his study to copy the family rules, Jiang Yunjin ordered the guards not to stop her. Now that she had finished copying the family rules, Jiang Yunjin did not withdraw the order, and the guards did not dare to stop her rashly, not to mention that Jiang Yunjin was in the study.

Cui Yiluo entered the study room unhindered. When she reached the door, Jiang Yunjin looked at her as if he had noticed something. He did not seem surprised either. He just slowly placed the wolf-hair brush in his hand back on the white porcelain landscape painting brush holder.

Under his direct gaze, Cui Yiluo entered the room, then turned around and closed the door.

Closing the door in broad daylight seemed like a couple was about to do something private, which was not in accordance with the rules. However, Jiang Yunjin probably thought that she had something to ask him and did not want outsiders to hear, so he did not speak to stop her.

The door closed tightly, and the spacious study suddenly became darker, with only the bright sunlight filtering through the window paper.

Jiang Yunjin's dark eyes still reflected the fragmented sunlight, appearing less majestic than usual. "What's the matter?"

His attitude clearly showed that he hadn't read the letter yet. When Cui Yiluo turned around, a gentle smile appeared on her face, and she walked straight towards the man.

"If nothing happens, can't I come to look for my husband?"

Jiang Yunjin's face darkened slightly, and the look in his eyes as he stared at her changed slightly. For some reason, he seemed to be somewhat disappointed.

Cui Yiluo walked around the long desk where official documents were neatly stacked. Under Jiang Yunjin's eyes, Cui Yiluo didn't dare to glance over and had to walk closer to him to find where the letters were.

It was not until she walked to Jiang Yunjin's side, with her body almost touching his, that she saw clearly the stack of letters placed on his right. The first letter was not in Yao's handwriting. The stack of letters was neatly stacked and showed no signs of having been read.

Cui Yiluo felt completely relieved and quickly and unnoticeably withdrew her gaze to prevent Jiang Yunjin from noticing anything.

She met the man's deep gaze, raised her hand and gently placed it on his arm full of strength, and her sleeve instantly overlapped with his intimately.

Cui Yiluo's voice softened, as if she was acting coquettishly. "My husband is taking a day off today, but I haven't seen him since early this morning. I can't help but feel worried. But my husband is busy with official duties, so naturally he won't be thinking about me."

She looked straight at Jiang Yunjin, and he turned his head away decisively to avoid her sight, staring at the documents on the table in front of him. His voice was a bit cold and hard, and seemed to be restrained.

"You go back first, it's almost time for lunch."

Cui Yiluo remained motionless, looking aggrieved. "But Yiluo just spoke to my husband, and he really doesn't want to be with me anymore?"

As she spoke, her fingertips moved down his strong arm and clasped his palm. Her fingers domineeringly slipped through his fingers, holding his palm tightly and intertwining their fingers.

As if she was afraid that he would drive her away.

Jiang Yunjin's fingers, which were tightly held by her, moved, and he opened them uncomfortably, not touching the soft back of her hand, his tone still firm.

"I have something important to do."

Cui Yiluo saw that he had a cold attitude and it was so difficult to get him out of the way. After he finished his official business, he would definitely read the letter briefly before lunch. After lunch, he went straight to the study. After all, the study was fully equipped, so he didn't have to go back to the room for a nap. There was a small couch behind the screen inside, and he had applied medicine on it for her.

Cui Yiluo glanced at the letter calmly and gritted her teeth secretly.

The next moment, she hugged his neck directly and stepped back to straddle his body.

A familiar fragrance came from the softness, tightly sticking to his chest, waist and abdomen. Cui Yiluo's wide sleeves slid down slightly, revealing half of her arms, which were still dazzlingly white in the dim study, and they were wrapped around the man's neck so softly that they seemed boneless.

Jiang Yunjin's body stiffened, and his face instantly became gloomy as if a storm was about to come.

Cui Yiluo and he made eye contact, their bodies pressed tightly together, and their faces were naturally very close as well, their warm breaths entangled together and kept heating up.

"Husband, I miss you. Can't you really say a few words to Yiluo?"

Jiang Yunjin lowered his eyes, and his big hand just reached into her slender grasp, pulling her a little away from his body.

"The study is in a clean place. No messing around. Go away."

Cui Yiluo tightened her arms, her soft skin passed over his neck again, and she pushed harder against him with her waist to prevent him from pushing her away.

She stepped back slightly, and paused as if unintentionally.

The big hand clasping his waist tightened instantly, and his finger bones turned slightly white from the force.

"Does my husband really want Yiluo to go down?"

Jiang Yunjin looked at her with a menacing look, his dark eyes filled with intimidation. His low, hoarse voice echoed in the silent study:

"Cui Yiluo, this is in the study."

Cui Yiluo curled the corners of her lips slightly, moved a little closer, and locked her eyes with his.

"I know, husband."

The warmth has become a sensation, passing through the thin clothes. It is not as strong as the sensation when the red tent was explored, but it is like scratching an itch through a shoe, which makes people think of the first cabinet.

Jiang Yunjin's jaw was stretched out in a sharp curve. He was ready for her to be with Shen Xia, but she went against his will and wanted to be with Pan Sheng.

He gripped her waist harder, trying to lift her up.

A light laugh echoed in the study room filled with chaotic and intertwined atmosphere.

"Husband, didn't I teach you?"

Cui Yiluo curled her red lips, as if to challenge him, and as if to prove to him with her own actions that his method was wrong, and she touched him lightly again.

The veins on the back of Jiang Yunjin's cold white hands were bulging and winding, and his face was extremely dark. It was not known whether it was because he was feeling suffocated or angry, but his low voice seemed to be squeezed out from his throat.

"Cui Yiluo, it's daytime now."

Cui Yiluo's smile widened upon hearing this. "Wasn't it the same last time? Didn't my husband want to..."

When she mentioned the last time she deliberately seduced him into having sex in broad daylight, Jiang Yunjin's dark brows were pressed down, and his eyes were filled with dark storms.

Dixia jumped again.

As if she was afraid of completely angering him, Cui Yiluo softened her attitude and tried to appease him: "Don't worry, my husband. Yiluo just wants to spend some time with you."

The corners of her eyes lightly swept over the location of the stack of letters, and then she gently closed her eyes, her long raven-feather eyelashes slightly curled up. She gently moved closer, raised her chin slightly, and stabilized his thin purity.

They had done it many times before, and Cui Yiluo skillfully and gently stroked his nipples, again and again.

The man responded quickly. His big hand was clearly pinching her waist to prevent her from getting closer, but he followed her half-lightly and pinched her so hard that it hurt. Cui Yiluo subconsciously stepped back and raised one hand to hold her neck, as if to stop her prey from escaping.

As if to punish her for making him break his vow again, even in the most solemn and dignified study room filled with books and scriptures. Not only between the pure houses, Shen Xia seemed to have a high peak climbing up.

Cui Yiluo opened her eyes tentatively, but suddenly she looked into his already extremely dark eyes. She immediately closed her eyes, raised her chin slightly, and looked closer.

But no matter how she teased him, he just kept kissing her.

Cui Yiluo hardened her heart, grasped his stiff wrist with her hand, and pulled him towards Xia, holding him close.

That was the method she taught him last time. As if afraid that he would forget, she took him through it again.

Chunban was suddenly very nervous and started to be cautious.
