Chapter 43 He turned around and kissed her
Cui Yiluo endured Meng Lie's attacks, but responded more proactively, adding fuel to the already raging fire.
Jiang Yunjin tapped her neck with his palm, stretching her even more.
Cui Yiluo's closed eyes moved slightly, and then she closed them and explained to him more clearly.
He moved his other big hand closer to Xia and pounded her, his arm as strong as iron holding the petite girl in his arms.
He kept saying, "Take all of her pureness into your arms, and add more to it."
Cui Yiluo finally seemed to be unable to hold back, Ying Ning made a sound, and loosened her arms on both sides of his neck and let them hang down, holding his shoulders, trying to escape his attention.
But she had clearly seen it before. Although Jiang Yunjin usually had a calm expression and was calm and composed no matter what he did, and it seemed that nothing would cause him any disturbance, after several conversations with her, he actually showed a disturbing possessiveness and desire for revenge, punishing her for constantly dragging him into the abyss. It was also like he was venting the pent-up emotions after breaking the rules.
Cui Yiluo couldn't push him away, instead she kept trying to move him, but she kept leaning back. The man kept trying to move with her while chasing her forward.
Finally, the stiffness of the rosewood table behind her made her back ache.
Still being played, Cui Yiluo Shenzi was already hesitating uncontrollably. She tried her best to remain clear-headed and recalled where she had placed the letter.
Then, as if unable to hold her hands together, she was completely pushed against the edge of the table, her hands loosened from the man's strong shoulders, and she suddenly fell backwards.
He swept his left hand across the table weakly.
Crackling.
In an instant, the piles of documents and letters fell to the ground like raindrops, and the woven carpet covering the ground swallowed up the sound, leaving only muffled sounds.
Done.
Cui Yiluo secretly relaxed, but Shejian suddenly became even more prepared, with a hint of anger in his eyes.
She was anxious and screamed in panic, then pushed the man's chest with both hands.
The continuous pushing seemed to finally bring the man back to his senses. He kissed her lower body again and then withdrew.
His big palm was still hidden in the original position, and it seemed as if it was about to break through the obstruction and come out, making Cui Yiluo panic. She endured the sound inside, but the sound could not cover up the feeling of having just endured the storm.
Her eyes were full of autumn water, full of anticipation for him, and she said softly with a shimmering red, "Husband... I didn't mean it."
Jiang Yunjin's eyes were dark as he looked at Qingyu, his voice hoarse: "Nothing, I'll clean it up."
Cui Yiluo twitched her pearly white teeth at Hong Chun, "But, it was because I wanted to stay with my husband for a while longer that this happened. If I don't blame my husband, how can I let him clean it up?"
Jiang Yunjin said nothing, just stared at her.
He looked straight at her, and when she looked into his dark eyes, Cui Yiluo's heart beat faster.
Wouldn't he notice?
The next moment, Jiang Yunjin hummed softly.
Cui Yiluo felt relieved and hurried to follow Shen Shangxia.
But his big hand was still on her buttocks, and she didn't know whether he forgot to let go, making her unable to move.
Cui Yiluo moved slightly, her long eyelashes fluttering, and looked at him helplessly, "Husband..."
Jiang Yunjin's eyes darkened, and he quickly withdrew his hand, untied the shackles, lowered his eyes, and said with a bit of guilt: "I'm sorry."
Seeing him looking so helpless, Cui Yiluo suddenly wanted to laugh. Normally, she would never let him go so easily, but business was more important right now.
She came from Shen Shangxia, squatted with her back to him, and picked up the official documents and letters scattered on the ground, searching for them inconspicuously with her hands.
Silence fell behind them. Cui Yiluo only noticed that Jiang Yunjin had stood up and remained motionless. Was he looking at her? She bit her lip anxiously and glanced at him even more quickly.
She blocked it with her body, and other documents on the table blocked his view of the ground, so he couldn't see her movements clearly. Cui Yiluo thought to herself, calming herself down.
She picked up a document and noticed a corner of a letter sticking out from underneath.
The familiar handwriting made Cui Yiluo feel relieved and her frown relaxed.
Holding a few official documents in her hands as a cover, she quietly lowered her eyes and looked behind her, only to see that the tip of the man's black leather boots had turned towards the door, and he did not turn around to look at her.
Cui Yiluo quickly stuffed the letter written by Yao into her sleeve.
After stuffing it in, the man behind her still didn't move. She slowly exhaled, stacked the official documents and letters, and put them back on the table. She saw Jiang Yunjin standing facing the door with his eyes downcast, his face not looking good. It was obvious that the two of them had just had a big fight in the study. Now that the love jade had faded, he couldn't help feeling unhappy, and was trying to calm himself down secretly.
The matter was settled, and Cui Yiluo didn't want to stay with him any longer, so she quickly said, "Husband, I'll leave first..."
The next moment, his jaw was suddenly held. His eyes were extremely dark, with a heavy storm brewing. He turned around and kissed her fiercely.
Cui Yiluo grabbed Chunban before he could react. She was stunned for a moment and picked up his jade for some reason. Could it be because he didn't get the book solution just now?
But she had no time to think about it, because the current scolding was already clear, even more intense than before.
The two of them were already very familiar with each other. Jiang Yunjin was skilled in conquering the city and plundering the territory. She was singing the song and being supported by him. She only had a bit of rationality left as she tightly grasped the letter in her sleeve, for fear that it would fall out.
It was unknown how long it took before Cui Yiluo finally let go, breathless. The two auras in the room were extremely steady.
"Husband..."
But he didn't look at her, and the warmth he had just felt suddenly cooled down.
His handsome face was as gloomy as water, his voice was hoarse, but completely cold, and suddenly without a trace of emotion: "Let's go, it's time for dinner."
His reaction was somewhat puzzling. Cui Yiluo frowned secretly, seeing that he didn't seem to have discovered that she had hidden the letter. Otherwise, with his upright and selfless nature, how could he tolerate her?
He probably just felt ashamed and angry because she had seduced him into breaking his vow and indulging in love in what he thought was the most solemn study.
During the meal, the two remained silent as usual, observing the rule of not talking while eating, and even the sound of the bowls and chopsticks clinking together was extremely quiet.
As soon as Jiang Yunjin left, Cui Yiluo immediately burned the letter.
The hot flames licked the envelope. Cui Yiluo did not open it to look carefully. She could guess what was inside without even looking.
The faint firelight made Cui Yiluo's face flicker.
A cowardly and incompetent biological father who hides behind his wife's back and condones her schemes, a stepmother who appears to be kind but is actually full of scheming and greedy for wealth and fame, and an incompetent but domineering younger brother.
Cui Yiluo stared at the flames as they devoured the envelope and burned it into black ash. Her eyes felt a little stinging from the burning flames.
With such a background, people cannot trust her. If Jiang Yunjin knew about her family's situation, he would inevitably feel regretful and would be unwilling to hand over the Jiang family business to her.
How dare that family call themselves hers? She had actually been walking for over a decade from Ningzhou to Shengjing. If that family still wanted to suck her blood and gain power, they couldn't even dream of it.
The firelight gradually died down, the heat receded, and the temperature cooled down. The autumn water in Cui Yiluo's eyes turned into ice.
Cui Yiluo called Lilan and asked her to dress up as her tomorrow and pretend to go to Baoyue Pavilion to choose a headdress. She then changed into ordinary people's clothes and took another carriage to Luoyun Lane.
In this way, unless Jiang Yunjin had already become suspicious and was watching secretly, no one would be able to notice anything.
After tomorrow, she would be able to completely get rid of that family. And Zhao Jian, she had put her plans to take action against him for the time being, but he had come to her personally. There was no reason for her not to do what was convenient.
Cui Yiluo made up her mind and just waited for tomorrow to come.
The sky darkened, and as darkness fell, all sounds gradually faded, descending into a profound silence. In the utter stillness, Cui Yiluo lay in her bedroom, eyes closed, yet sleep was not in her. She could only hear the man beside her breathing quietly, clearly awake too, but they both tacitly agreed not to speak.
After being married for a month or two, Cui Yiluo, who was already very perceptive, could sense his emotions to some extent. Although his expression was indifferent, Cui Yiluo knew that he was still unhappy, naturally because of the antics in the study during the day.
Suddenly, in the silence, anxious footsteps were heard.
The shock continued, one after another, hitting people's hearts. Cui Yiluo suddenly opened her eyes.
The next moment, there was a knock on the bedroom door.
"Young Master, Young Master." Wen Feng's anxious voice sounded, like some kind of ominous omen in the darkness.
Cui Yiluo sat up, her eyes heavy. Jiang Yunjin, who was sleeping outside, also stood up. He remained calm, turned to look at her, and gave her a soothing look. Cui Yiluo felt even heavier in her heart.
I saw that he had quickly put on an outer robe and opened the door.
Without the door blocking the way, Wen Feng's voice suddenly became much louder, and every word he spoke clearly floated into Cui Yiluo's ears.
"Sir, there's a fire in Luoyun Lane!"
-
Not long after, in the dark night, a carriage drove out from the side door of the Jiang family and sped quickly towards the east under the moonlight.
Inside the carriage, Cui Yiluo hid her hands in her sleeves, pinching her palms as she stared at the landscape patterns on the thick carpet in the carriage, and suddenly she felt a little powerless.
It's clear that by tomorrow, all our efforts will be in vain.
"Why didn't you tell me when your family came?"
Jiang Yunjin's voice, tinged with chill, echoed in the carriage late at night. The candlelight flickered as the carriage moved, flickering on his jade-white face, revealing a hint of gloom and coldness.
Cui Yiluo suppressed her emotions and said, "My parents are new to Shengjing, so they're bound to feel uncomfortable. My husband has been busy with official duties lately. I just want to discuss this with him when he's free."
She spoke in a normal tone, her gentle voice echoing in the carriage. She seemed to be a virtuous wife who was sympathetic to her husband's busy official duties, and it was hard not to believe her.
"I see."
Jiang Yunjin responded briefly.
The carriage became quiet again. After another stick of incense, the carriage stopped at the entrance of Luoyun Lane.
Cui Yiluo got out of the car. Jiang Yunjin had gotten out earlier to check the situation. When he saw her get out, he still put his hand on her arm as usual.
Cui Yiluo looked at the man's stern face, her eyes drooping slightly.
Standing at the entrance of the alley, I saw that all the houses in the alley were burned black by the fire, with only broken walls and ruins left. At first glance, it looked like a dark hole, swallowing up lives.
Luoyun Lane was close to the prosperous area of Shengjing City. A fire broke out suddenly and no house in the lane was spared. All of them were burned down to varying degrees, and many people were injured.
The fire immediately alarmed the city guards, and even Yunyi Guards were sent out. The fire came out of nowhere, and after Yunyi Guards and the city guards resettled the people in the house, they stayed in the alley to investigate the cause of the fire.
Cui Yiluo glanced around the group of Yunyi Guards, all wearing black robes with cloud patterns, and didn't see Yuan Ling. She breathed a sigh of relief. Jiang Yunjin's involvement was already troublesome enough, and if Yuan Ling showed up...
"What's wrong?"
The man's low voice sounded beside her, and Cui Yiluo quickly looked away. She didn't expect Jiang Yunjin to be so agile.
She shook her head. "No."
Jiang Yunjin's cold eyes darkened even more in the darkness. He frowned and whispered, "Okay."
"Yiluo!"
A deep, middle-aged male voice rang out. It wasn't very loud in the still chaotic Luoyun Lane, but it was loud enough for the people in front of the carriage to hear clearly.
In the darkness, a city guard was supporting a frail middle-aged man. He appeared to be severely injured and needed the support of two other city guards to barely walk. His hands and body were wrapped in gauze. A woman was accompanying a rather portly young man, and behind them followed a young man with a sullen demeanor. They were dressed in black and covered in dust, but showed no signs of injury.
As they got closer, Cui Yiluo's brows darkened.
Several city guards escorted the man to Jiang Yunjin and said, "Sir, I will take my leave first."
Jiang Yunjin nodded slightly.
After the city guards left, the servants from the Jiang family understood and immediately stepped forward to take over and support the middle-aged couple. The middle-aged couple looked at each other.
The next moment, Yao cried out, her dark face twisted into a ball. "My dear son-in-law, our family just arrived in Beijing, and Yiluo brought us here without even saying when we could see you. It's only been three days, and how come a fire has suddenly broken out? My dear son-in-law, you must get to the bottom of this! Look how badly Yiluo's father was injured!"
Yao cried and not only entrusted the fire incident to Jiang Yunjin, but also told him about Cui Yiluo holding them hostage.
Seeing that Yao was about to cry again, Cui Yiluo's eyes flashed with a hint of ruthlessness.
A clear male voice suddenly sounded beside her, interrupting Yao.
"I will investigate this matter. It's getting late. It's not too late to discuss it tomorrow."
Cui Yiluo felt relieved.
Yao was also embarrassed, but soon changed her smile into a gentle and flattering one: "Thank you very much, my dear son-in-law."
"By the way, Yiluo, your cousin is here too. I guess you haven't met him yet."
The young man with a turbid temperament behind Yao also stepped forward at the right time, "Cousin."
Cui Yiluo's eyes darkened completely, and she subconsciously glanced at Jiang Yunjin.
Under the bleak moonlight, the alley entrance was almost dark, with only a few lights coming from the city guards and Yunyi guards who were investigating with torches in the distance.
The man's face was hidden in the darkness, appearing a little gloomy.
