Chapter 55: Rich and Exiled Officials

Bai Luoxue's arms trembled, and she couldn't help crying. Yes, after all these years, Jiang Jing had never even looked at her straight in the eye. But Jiusu was just a peasant girl, so why would he be favored? She was unwilling to accept this, and she was also unwilling to admit it.

Back then, I should have used all means to get Jiang Jing.

"Jiusu, I love him, I really do. I'll give you whatever you want. I can make sure you don't have to worry about money for the rest of your life. He's just a fugitive. If you stay with him, not only will you be looked down upon, but your child won't even be able to join the government..."

Jiusu interrupted her 'affectionate' monologue.

Looking at the rainwater piling up in the yard, he said slowly, "Bai Luoxue, if you really wanted to pursue Jiang Jing by giving up everything, I would still respect you. But you want to stay with Chen Zhao and want Jiang Jing at the same time. There is no such good thing in the world. Those who betray true love should swallow a thousand needles. Do some good deeds for the child in your belly!"

"You!" Bai Luoxue pointed gloomily, her eyes sharp as a knife, her voice thick and angry, "Jiusu, just wait for me. If I can't have it, then neither can you. I'll crush you to death, as easy as crushing an ant."

Jiusu spoke in a cold tone, raising his voice: "Okay, keep it simple. Don't choose a difficult level. It's easy to get yourself into trouble."

Bai Luoxue raised her umbrella, and the expression on her face had been replaced by tenderness.

Changeability is her best disguise. She smiled warmly and said, "Aunt, Mr. Jiang, Nian Yin, I will come to see you again in the future."

He turned around, his eyes fell on Jiusu, and he left with a few words.

"Sister, come home when you've calmed down. Don't let your husband worry about you. The position of the general's wife will always be yours. I know you love your husband. Don't do something impulsive and irreparable just to make him angry."

"Are you sick?" Jiusu laughed angrily. "Divorce means that Chen Zhao and I are no longer related. I heard there's a lot of sand in Mobei. Third Sister, have you been here for so long that your head is filled with sand?"

Her voice was so loud that almost everyone in the yard could hear it.

Fang Fei was so angry that she ran over and slapped him with her hand, "Bitch, you actually...ah! How dare you hit me?"

My ears ached and I looked away with tears in my eyes.

Jiang Jing put his arm around Jiusu's waist and said calmly, "How about I beat you? Ah Su is right. If Concubine Bai feels that there is too much sand in her head, she can go see a doctor. Besides, your maid seems to be even more stupid, so let's go see a doctor as well."

Jiusu's smile dimples slightly, and she grabs the man's hand on her waist and says.

"Well, the servant is like the master. Like master, like maid. Concubine Bai still wants to see a doctor, right? I won't keep you for dinner. Goodbye, I won't see you off." She raised her hand and waved.

Bai Luoxue had tears in her eyes. Seeing that no one in the Jiang family spoke for her, she turned around and left angrily.

"Little bitch, I will kill you!"

"Miss, this is really too much. Country women are just barbaric and unreasonable. When the general comes back, I must teach her a lesson." Fang Fei was slapped and felt extremely unbalanced.

Turning around and leaving the alley, he happened to run into Chen Nan who was searching.

Chen Nan was sweating profusely. Seeing her, he breathed a sigh of relief and hurried over. Looking for women was more tiring than fighting a war. If anything happened to the concubine, the general would definitely punish him. "I finally found you. You didn't go shopping, so why did you come to the residential area?"

"I...I..." Bai Luoxue was so angry that she was dazed. No, she couldn't say that she came to find Jiang Jing.

No man can accept that his woman has contact with other people. Moreover, she is trying to use this logic to make Chen Zhao disgusted with and punish Jiusu. If Chen Zhao knew that he was no match for a fugitive, could he tolerate it?

Chen Nan looked at the familiar intersection and suddenly realized.

"Are you here to see Jiusu?"

"Jiusu? Yes, I was worried about her, so I asked about her. I happened to meet her and chatted with my sister for a while." Bai Luoxue climbed up the ladder and sighed, "But she refused to tell me where she lived."

Chen Nan pointed forward and said, "I'll take her here, but seeing that she's moving forward, she should be not far away."

Bai Luoxue looked over there. Besides the mansion, there was only the Jiang family's dilapidated house. She clenched her hands tightly. Could it be that the two of them were already living together? No wonder that bitch acted like the mistress of the house.

"I'm a little tired, so I won't go home. How about staying at the inn?"

"Okay, I'll make the arrangements." Chen Nan indicated that there was a carriage ahead, and he ordered someone to book the best inn.

——

Jiusu turned around and said, "Sorry, I made you laugh."

Jiang's mother waved her hand and smiled, "No, no, this is all from the past. Luoxue's love for Jing'er is something that everyone in Shengjing knows, but Jing'er has no interest in her. I'm making this clear today to avoid trouble in the future."

"It's strange. She's already married and pregnant, yet she still pesters her brother. She's not afraid of Chen Zhao finding out." Jiang Nianyin shook her head, not knowing what her usually smart friend was thinking.

Getting into a fight with Luoxue was not the result Jiang Nianyin wanted.

On the way, Jiang Jing warned, "A Su, stay away from Bai Luoxue next time you see her. She's more ruthless than we thought. Previously, Nian Yin and Bai Luoxue rescued a cat, and the cat liked Nian Yin even more. In front of everyone, it expressed its desire to go back with her."

"Is she angry?" Jiusu asked.

Jiang Jing shook his head. "Bai Luoxue was willing to let Nianyin take the cat back, but the next day, the cat died at home. Bai Luoxue brought others to watch the show, but she offered comforting words. Nianyin treated her as a friend and was grateful. I've done some private research, and the cat was killed by Bai Luoxue herself."

Jiusu sighed endlessly, this is typical, jealousy leads to hatred, they are just fake sisters.

"Nian Yin doesn't know?"

"Before she had the chance to tell me, something happened at home. She was sad and often talked about Bai Luoxue. I didn't want to make her sad, so I didn't mention it again." Jiang Jing looked at the courtyard that was just a few feet away. He took her hands and said, "Are you sure you want to be with me? I'm afraid it will be difficult and long."

He would not marry her as a convict.

Because, she will always be labeled as a 'convicted woman' because of him.

To escape from being a fugitive and become an ordinary civilian may take a lifetime, and opportunities are rare, especially in Suming County, which is full of corrupt officials.

Jiusu held up an umbrella and stood opposite him.

"Master Jiang, don't be so pessimistic. I will make a lot of money and pave a path for you to become a powerful official. Your status as an exile will be thrown away sooner or later. As the saying goes, a gentleman hides his talents and waits for the right time to act."

"Then I'll rely on Jiufu's support." Jiang Jing bent down, touched his forehead with hers, pinched her face with his hands, and felt a warmth in his heart, "I won't hold you back."

Chang Bo coughed lightly and reminded respectfully.

"Miss, it's raining heavily."

"Yeah." Jiusu responded, waving as she walked away, "Good night."

Jiang Jing didn't turn around until the gate was closed. He looked at the mud on the ground stirred up by the rain, stepped on it calmly, and murmured: "A gentleman hides his ability and waits for the right time to act. Wait patiently for the opportunity, don't be impatient or reckless."
