As the music ended, Xie Yizhi smoothed the strings, smiled, and looked at Jiang Luoluo, "Madam, how was it?"
Jiang Luoluo's eyes widened in amazement. "Excellent! My husband's zither skills are superb. I like them very much."
Xie Yizhi stood up from the table, came over and took Jiang Luoluo's soft hand, "I'm glad you like it, Madam!"
He remembered that Jiang Luoluo had praised him before for his excellent piano skills.
He also said that he would play for her often in the future, and that he had never forgotten about it.
Recently, Empress Dowager Du has eliminated all her spies in the palace, and Du Yi and Consort Lu have been imprisoned.
Xie Yizhi was also able to steal a moment of leisure from the turbulent political landscape of the court.
Meanwhile, Jiang Luoluo was secretly guiding Yao Shiyu step by step, making her transfer her hatred to Empress Dowager Du.
She could finally catch her breath; today was a rare moment of peace.
Jiang Luoluo's mood was also quite different. It was the first time she had seen Xie Yizhi wearing moon white, which was different from his usual calm black robes.
The crescent-white paint paired with the music made him appear even more elegant and refined.
Suddenly, Jiang Luoluo had a sudden thought. She quietly tiptoed and, like a dragonfly skimming the water, pecked his handsome face.
Xie Yizhi smiled and touched his face. Suddenly, he picked up Jiang Luoluo and placed her on the table.
He bent down, supporting Jiang Luoluo's head with one hand and putting his arm around her waist with the other.
Those cool, thin lips slowly approached hers, and Jiang Luoluo closed her eyes slightly, enjoying this wonderful moment.
Xie Yizhi gently bit her shoulder, his seductive voice ringing out, "Call me husband!"
Jiang Luoluo called out softly, "Husband!"
Xie Yi was satisfied with his success, and a gentle smile filled his lips.
Birds chirped outside the window, a warm breeze blew, and the room was filled with a beautiful atmosphere!
Mo Yang held a letter and waited anxiously at the door of the study, but he dared not make a sound as he listened to the noises inside.
He could only quietly move a few steps into the courtyard and wait with his head down.
After being reprimanded several times by the prince, Mo Yang learned his lesson and dared not provoke the prince again.
After waiting for a long time, Xie Yizhi and Jiang Luoluo finally came out of the study.
Mo Yangcai jogged up and handed the letter to Jiang Luoluo; it was a letter from Jiang Muyan.
Jiang Luoluo opened the letter and read that Lu Baimei had discovered Liu Ruyan, whom he was keeping in Plum Blossom Lane.
Right now, there's a huge commotion at home, so Jiang Muyan specifically asked Jiang Luoluo for help.
Xie Yizhi glanced at the contents of the letter and teased Jiang Luoluo, "Madam's business scope is quite broad!"
Jiang Luoluo noticed that Xie Yizhi was no longer the cold and unapproachable person she had first met, with his stern face.
The current Xie Yizhi is more cheerful and playful, and has become more youthful, no longer as old-fashioned as before.
Jiang Luoluo replied with a smile, "Yes, it wasn't easy to place a pawn in the Prince of Yan's camp, so we can't let Lu Baimei ruin it."
She gently squeezed Xie Yizhi's hand. "Your Highness, I have to go out for a bit!"
Xie Yizhi nodded. "Alright, please be extremely careful on the road."
Jiang Luoluo led Dingdang towards the residence of the Vice Minister of Revenue, which had been in chaos all day.
Jiang Muyan hid in the study, the door blocked by the table and chairs.
The usually dignified and elegant Lu Baimei was now standing menacingly at the study door, holding a kitchen knife.
"Jiang Muyan, you've really grown bold, daring to keep a mistress behind my back."
She kicked the door hard, but hurt her foot terribly. She quickly squatted down and clutched her foot.
"Jiang Muyan, you better come out here, or I'm going to storm in."
Jiang Muyan stood trembling in the study. He had already sent out the letter pleading for help, but he didn't know if Jiang Luoluo would come to his rescue.
Jiang Luoluo walked slowly towards the courtyard of the Ministry of Revenue's residence. When she saw Lu Baimei holding a kitchen knife, Jiang Luoluo immediately gave Dingdang a wink.
Dingdang nodded in understanding, and Jiang Luoluo rolled up her sleeves and stood in front of Lu Baimei.
When Lu Baimei saw that someone had arrived, her upbringing as a well-bred young lady taught her that family scandals should not be aired in public.
For a moment, all the air was stuck in my throat.
To her surprise, Jiang Luoluo winked at her and said gently, "Second Aunt."
Lu Baimei nodded with an awkward smile, while Jiang Luoluo said with a serious expression, "Second Aunt, I heard everything."
Jiang Luoluo imitated Lu Baimei and kicked the door hard, saying, "My second uncle is a real scoundrel. He actually dared to keep a mistress behind your back."
"Our Jiang family doesn't have someone as shameless as him."
Jiang Luoluo spoke with righteous indignation and great momentum, leaving even Lu Baimei bewildered.
At the height of her excitement, Jiang Luoluo grabbed the kitchen knife from Lu Baimei's hand and said, "Second Aunt, don't be afraid. Today, the Jiang family will definitely give you an explanation. Second Uncle did something wrong, and he deserves to die."
Jiang Luoluo slammed her knife hard against the door.
Even Lu Baimei was startled. Jiang Muyan slumped down in the study, finally relieved.
Thank goodness, his savior has finally arrived.
If Jiang Luoluo had arrived even a fraction later, he probably would have been killed by that tigress.
Looking at Jiang Luoluo, who was even more furious than him, Lu Baimei suddenly felt his inexplicable anger subside by about 70-80%.
Jiang Luoluo accidentally dropped the kitchen knife, and Dingdang quickly picked it up and put it away.
Jiang Luoluo supported Lu Baimei with one hand while shouting, "Second Aunt, my second uncle is such a scoundrel!"
He patted Lu Baimei's hand and said, "Don't worry, Auntie, I'll always be on your side."
When Lu Baimei saw that someone had stood up for her, most of her anger dissipated.
Hearing Jiang Luoluo's resolute words, a warm feeling welled up in her heart.
She swallowed back her tears of grievance. "Lolo, how could he do that?"
Seeing that Lu Baimei's tone had softened, Jiang Luoluo helped her to rest on a wooden chair nearby.
Jiang Luoluo shouted loudly into the house, "Second Uncle, why don't you come out and apologize to Second Aunt? Look at the mess you've made!"
Hearing Jiang Luoluo say this, Jiang Muyan felt reassured.
He stood up, shook the dust off his robes, moved the table blocking the door, and stepped out from inside.
Looking at the somewhat disheveled Jiang Muyan, Lu Baimei felt a mixture of pain and anger. She clutched her chest.
"Jiang Muyan, you bastard! I've been with you for half my life, how could you keep a mistress behind my back?"
Jiang Muyan stood obediently to the side, not knowing what to say, but also knowing that it would be inappropriate to say nothing at all.
He could only awkwardly say, "Madam, I was wrong."
Lu Baimei's attitude seemed alright. She had spent her whole life with him, and their daughter was already married. How could something like this happen at the end?
Lu Baimei pressed her chest, and Jiang Luoluo quickly poured out a Jigong Pill and handed it to Lu Baimei, "Second Aunt, take one to calm your nerves!"
