Chapter 13 Is there something wrong with your brain?

Jiang Yueyao has always been tough since he was a child. Even if he occasionally catches a cold, he can drink a bowl of medicine, cover his head for a good sleep, and wake up the next day as a brave man again.

But this time, he was bedridden for several days and still did not recover.

At nightfall, the doorbell outside had already knocked three times, and Sulan suddenly pushed the door open.

She wiped away the sadness on her face of the past few days and smiled in the corners of her eyes.

"Yaoyao, look who's here?"

Jiang Yueyao, half leaning against the head of the bed, raised her eyes and looked at the young woman who walked in from the door, and was stunned.

"Aunt Xiang?"

The person who came was Cui Xiangxiang.

She was dressed in a cloth dress, with her long hair tied in the simplest bun. She wore no makeup and her face looked a little pale and haggard, but she was in good spirits.

Cui Xiangxiang walked a few steps to the bedside, and before she could say anything, tears started falling.

"Yaoyao..."

"Aunt Xiang!" Jiang Yueyao finally came back to her senses. She reached out and hugged Cui Xiangxiang, and also burst into tears of joy. "It's so great, you're out, you're really out."

Cui Xiangxiang held her in her arms, stroking her back with one hand, her voice gentle.

"It was Lord Lu who released me. He told me to come find you, and I knew it must be you who begged him for mercy."

After she finished speaking, she gently pushed Jiang Yueyao away from her arms, wiped the tears from her face with a handkerchief and asked, "How do you know him? Why did he agree to you?"

Jiang Yueyao didn't dare to tell the truth.

He only said, "He has been staying at the Auspicious Inn during his time in Sucheng. I heard that you were also imprisoned, so I tried to beg him."

Cui Xiangxiang had no doubts.

"I was secretly released. I can't stay in Sucheng anymore. Yaoyao, I have to go."

"Where are you going?" Jiang Yueyao became anxious when she heard it.

"I don't know either." Cui Xiangxiang was a little confused. "But Lord Lu told me to stay as far away from Sucheng as possible. When I get to other places, I must hide my identity and not be discovered."

When Jiang Yueyao heard this, a bold idea suddenly came to her mind.

She suddenly looked at Sulan.

"Sister Lan, let's go too."

Sulan: “Ah?”

"You've probably noticed my recent abnormal behavior." At this point, Jiang Yueyao didn't want to hide it anymore. "Pei Yu hired someone to kill us some time ago. Fortunately, someone close to Lord Lu was highly skilled in martial arts and saw through the enemy at a glance, which saved you and me from death."

"But I'm still afraid. I'm afraid that if Lord Lu leaves Su City, Pei Yu will send more people. Then there will be no one to protect us. Just you and I are no match for him."

"Instead of worrying and being scared, it's better to leave Suzhou and find a place where no one knows you and start over."

Sulan turned pale with fright at her words.

She was trembling with fear: "This...is this true?"

"It's absolutely true!" Jiang Yueyao pulled her aside, "Sister Lan, I can't explain too much to you right now. Go pack your things immediately and only take the important things with you. Don't throw away anything that's not necessary."

She said as she lifted the quilt and tried to get out of bed.

"I'm going to find Liu Yunyan now."

"What do you want her for?"

"She has always wanted our inn so that she can expand the scale of Yunyan Pavilion." Jiang Yueyao quickly put on her clothes.

At this time, Sulan had completely calmed down.

She opened the wardrobe beside her, took out a large bag and began to put things in it.

Cui Xiangxiang also helped to clean up.

Jiang Yueyao casually tied her hair up and walked out.

At this time, it was already late at night, and the Yunyan Pavilion opposite was brightly lit, and it was a bustling time.

She was familiar with the place, and after entering, she grabbed a servant.

"Where's Liu Yunyan?"

Seeing her, the other party smiled and said, "Boss Jiang is here. Madam Liu is in the Peony Room in the backyard. Would you like me to lead the way for you?"

"No, go get busy."

Jiang Yueyao walked towards the backyard. After a while, she met Liu Yunyan coming from the backyard.

When Liu Yunyan, who was wearing heavy makeup, saw her, she looked like she had seen a ghost.

He walked around her in a circle, and finally raised his hand to touch her face.

"No powder?"

"Why are you so white as a ghost?"

If this were any other time, Jiang Yueyao would definitely have a fight with her.

But today, time was running out and she had neither the time nor the energy to do so.

She pulled her aside to the corridor and got straight to the point.

"Do you want the inn?"

Liu Yunyan was stunned for a moment: "Whose inn is this?"

"Mine, haven't you always wanted to buy it before? If you still want it, give me a price."

Liu Yunyan's eyes suddenly widened: "Are you crazy? That's what your mother left you. Why are you selling it?"

Then he asked, "Did something happen to you?"

"I did encounter some problems." Jiang Yueyao said casually, "That bastard Pei Yu cheated me into marriage, and he also cheated me out of so much money. I'm going to the capital to settle the score with him."

“…That’s it?”

"What else?"

"Are you out of your mind? If you were deceived, then so be it. You were blind enough to find an ungrateful person. Just consider it a lesson for your bad luck and be smarter in the future. Why would you give up your family business and go to the capital to find him just for him?"

"Do you think that if you go to him, you can make him change his mind?"

"A man who loves the new and dislikes the old and tries to cling to the powerful will never turn back. I advise you to give up on this idea."

Everything she said was right.

But Jiang Yueyao still shook her head.

"I've made up my mind. I'm leaving early tomorrow morning. If you don't want me, I'll find someone else."

"You..." She glared at her with disapproval, "Jiang Yueyao, I'm just waiting to see you make a fool of yourself. You will definitely regret it."

As she spoke, she walked towards her yard.

"Have you brought the house deed and the land deed?"

"I brought it." Jiang Yueyao took out two pieces of paper. "How much do you want to give for the inn in front and the backyard?"

"Two thousand!" Liu Yunyan said without even turning her head.

When Jiang Yueyao heard this, she turned around and walked out.

"Hey, hey, hey, why are you running? It's a business deal, shouldn't I bargain?" Liu Yunyan reached out and grabbed her.

Jiang Yueyao looked back at her: "Five thousand taels, not a cent less."

"You're trying to steal the silver. Five thousand taels of silver can buy a restaurant in the best location in Sucheng..."

"Do you want it?" Jiang Yueyao said with a stern face, "Hongxiulou has been keeping an eye on my inn. If you don't want it, I'll go find her right away..."

"You dare!?" Liu Yunyan glared at him. "How can that old woman compete with me? It's just five thousand taels, right? I'll give it to you right now!"

The final word.

Jiang Yueyao secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

After taking the silver note and coming out of Yunyan Pavilion, she stood at the door of her own inn, looking at the words "Auspicious Inn", feeling sad.

If I hadn't insisted on bringing Pei Yu home, how could I have suffered such a misfortune?

Liu Yunyan said she deserved it.

She really deserves it!

Not only did he implicate Sister Lan, but he also sold the only thing his mother left her.

If her mother knew about this, she would definitely come up and beat her up to vent her anger.

When she returned to the backyard, Sulan had already packed four large bags.

Seeing that she wanted to take the quilt with her, Jiang Yueyao hurriedly stopped her.

"We only have one carriage, which can't hold too many things. We can buy other daily necessities when we get to the destination. I have plenty of silver now."

She said this and patted her pocket.

Sulan suddenly burst into tears.

She stood in the middle of the room, looking at everything in front of her, her eyes full of reluctance.

"Yaoyao, do you think we still have a chance to come back?"

Jiang Yueyao didn't say anything.

She has no idea what the future holds.

I just want to escape from here and save my life first, and for the rest I can only take it one step at a time...
