Chapter 67: Rain is Thick Ah Luo, what do I mean? Don’t you have any idea...
The huge hall was silent. Madam Jiang's face was ashen. The man standing in the hall had a back as straight as a pine or bamboo, a cold and resolute face, and a posture that refused to give in. The atmosphere was tense.
"Jiang Yunjin, are you confused? Even if you have a childhood friendship with her, you shouldn't gamble with the Jiang family. Are you going to destroy the Jiang family just for her?"
There was a crackling sound, and Madam Jiang lost her composure immediately. The medicine bowl on the table and the blue and white porcelain tea set with twined branches pattern were all swept to the ground and smashed to pieces. Everyone in the hall immediately lowered their heads, not daring to breathe.
Aunt Ming, standing by, tried to calm Madam Jiang down while trying to persuade Jiang Yunjin, who stood motionless in the hall. "Young Master, stop being so stubborn! Are you trying to drive Madam crazy to death? Apologize to Madam! Madam, I'm worried about you being misled by others, considering the Jiang family's well-being."
Jiang Yunjin raised his eyes and looked at Minggu coldly. His sharp gaze immediately made Minggu feel cold in her heart and she couldn't say a word.
Only after Ming Gu fell silent did Jiang Yunjin turn to look at Old Madam Jiang, who was using her crutches to steady herself.
"Grandmother, I'm currently in charge of the Jiang family. I can pass the family business on to whomever I wish. I'm not asking you for anything. Besides, you were responsible for managing the Jiang family business because I wasn't married yet. Now Yiluo is my wife. You might not trust her to manage the Jiang family well, but I do, so the family business should be handed over to her. If anything goes wrong, I'll take responsibility! If you still recognize me as your grandson, you shouldn't embarrass my wife anymore."
Madam Jiang couldn't even breathe: "You——"
Jiang Yunjin turned directly to Minggu and said, "Give me the key to the accounting office."
Minggu was frightened by Jiang Yunjin's sudden sharpness. She was Madam Jiang's maid who came with her as a dowry, and she had watched Jiang Yunjin grow up. Although he was cold and indifferent in the past, he was always respectful and gentle to his elders. He was also respectful to her, an old lady who had served the old lady for many years. But today he was so strong and paranoid, as if he had torn up all the rules and etiquette he had always followed.
Before Ming Gu could move, there were several more muffled sounds of the cane hitting the ground, as if Old Madam Jiang wanted to crush the ground.
"No!"
Minggu naturally listened to Madam Jiang's words and turned her toes back.
"Ming Gu, don't forget who is in charge of the Jiang family now."
Facing Jiang Yunjin's oppressive gaze, Minggu's heart wavered, but she was Madam Jiang's person. If she obeyed Jiang Yunjin now, wouldn't it be a blatant betrayal of Madam Jiang?
"Hear the wind!"
Jiang Yunjin tilted his head slightly and called out to Wen Feng who was guarding the corridor. Wen Feng responded and quickly led a team of guards to search the backyard.
Old Madam Jiang widened her eyes in disbelief, and suddenly understood why Jiang Yunjin had brought a team of guards just now.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Yunjin was determined to hand over the family business to Cui Yiluo. Old Madam Jiang was so angry that she was blinded. "Cui has gone to Qingzhou, and before she left, she voluntarily handed over the affairs of the first house to Aheng. I didn't force her to do this! She herself didn't want to be in charge, so why did you insist on handing it over to her? You are crazy, do you like her that much?"
When Jiang Yunjin heard that Cui Yiluo was willing to hand over the main house to Wang Yuheng, his face really darkened instantly. But Madam Jiang waited for a moment, and he just pursed his lips slightly and said nothing, nor did he answer her questions. It was obvious that he was still determined to let Cui Yiluo take over.
Not long after, Wen Feng found the key to the accounting office and showed it to Jiang Yunjin.
Old Madam Jiang watched Wen Feng take the key to the accounting office in his hand. When Jiang Yunjin turned around and left, she finally closed her eyes and fainted on the couch.
Minggu quickly stepped forward to catch Madam Jiang's fallen body, "Madam! Help her to the couch!"
Jiang Yunjin glanced at Minggu and a few maids, then easily helped Madam Jiang, whose eyes were tightly closed, to her feet and walked back. He turned half sideways and said, "Go get Doctor Xu."
Wen Feng responded. He could easily see that Madam Jiang was pretending to be unconscious, but of course a doctor should be called.
Jiang Yun carefully ordered Wen Feng to keep the key. After Doctor Xu arrived, he rode his horse out of the Jiang Mansion and headed straight for Qingchi Lane.
The wind and snow stopped. The servants had swept the snow outside the bedroom and piled it on the side of the road. The wind chimes hanging on the eaves moved slightly. A thick, windproof embroidered curtain was hung under the corridor. The fiery red plum blossoms embroidered on it were in full bloom, lifelike, and you could almost smell the fragrance. It was extremely quiet and elegant.
But the house was in a mess.
Jiang Yunjin looked around at the doors and windows. The locks on them were tight, with no signs of having been moved. His tense face relaxed slightly.
The door opened, Jiang Yunjin stepped into the room and locked the door again.
The embroidered curtains in the room had already been torn apart by Cui Yiluo in the fierce fight, and the curtains, which were originally closed, were half-open, revealing the situation inside the room. Jiang Yunjin turned around and met the gaze of the woman sitting on the stool.
The room was a mess, but Cui Yiluo stood like a lotus blossoming in the mud. She was wearing the nightgown he had personally put on her after bathing her. He had ordered it brought from the Jiang residence. The chest-length skirt revealed her snow-white, voluptuous figure. Scars of varying shades of red and purple spread downward, new covering old. There were bite marks on her neck, and even the bareness revealed only a hint of what a violent experience she had endured.
The ground was covered with broken porcelain pieces. Jiang Yunjin subconsciously looked at her feet, and only looked away when he saw that she was wearing silk socks and cloud-toe shoes.
Cui Yiluo looked at him coldly. When she faced him before, although he knew that she was just a chess piece, she still pretended to be gentle. But after the fierce fight in the past few days, the two of them had completely torn their faces apart, and she didn't even want to pretend now.
"Back to Jiang Mansion?"
He was dressed neatly, and the air was tinged with the chill of the cold wind; it was obvious he had been riding for a while. He had been tormenting her day and night for the past few days, and now that he had stopped for a short while, he was naturally going back home.
He must have known about his plan to marry Wang Yuheng as his concubine, and perhaps he had returned to the Jiang residence to arrange this. And then what? He would return to see her again, continue to keep her locked up here, and make her his forbidden lover, satisfying his desires.
Cui Yiluo felt depressed and her eyes became even colder.
Jiang Yunjin hummed briefly, walked straight over, picked her up skillfully, and just like the past few days, he held her on his lap and locked her in his arms.
Cui Yiluo was still struggling, but he grabbed her wrists neatly in his hands and gently stroked the red marks on her wrists.
It was rare for him to be calm. Perhaps the absurdity of the past five days had finally made him feel a little satisfied.
He said, "Go back and get the key to the Jiang family's accounting office."
She had already handed over the first wife's accounts to Wang Yuheng, and he had even gone out of his way to get the key to the Jiang family's accounting office to give to Wang Yuheng. And in the past three months, he had never taken the initiative to mention handing over the Jiang family's affairs to her.
Cui Yiluo turned her head away from him, her tone as if devoid of emotion: "When will you let me go?"
The big hand holding her wrist tightened instantly. Cui Yiluo couldn't help but cry out in pain and glared at him fiercely. She met Jiang Yunjin's dark eyes, which were so dark that it seemed as if there was no bottom to see.
"Where do you want to go?" Jiang Yunjin's face suddenly turned cold.
On the pleasure boat on her birthday night, she said that she liked the house in Qingchi Lane and had deliberately seduced him and refused to let him return home. At that time, she wanted to be alone with him so much, but now she was tired of him and wanted to stay away from him as much as possible.
He didn't dare to think about it. If he had returned from Yunzhou a little later, would she have gone south with Yuan Ling? He had deliberately sent Yuan Ling to Jiangnan, but he didn't expect him to secretly plot to take her away.
Jiang Yunjin's voice was filled with chills: "Yuan Ling has already left for the south and won't be back for three months. Even if I let you go, you won't be able to see him."
Cui Yiluo was almost laughing because of him. She was too lazy to explain to him and turned her head away.
But her neck was firmly held, and Jiang Yunjin immediately covered her with his eyes as cold as ice, biting her already swollen lips with anger.
"Why do you care about him so much? Is he really that good?"
Is his personality really that interesting? Interesting enough to make her never forget him, interesting enough to make her tired of him so quickly.
Cui Yiluo fell into the tide again, and was almost suffocated by his kiss. She could only make vague whimpers. She kept pushing against his hard chest and finally gained a little space.
Cui Yiluo could no longer bear it, "When did I ever care about him?"
Jiang Yunjin looked at her almost paranoidly, as if unwilling to miss any of her reactions: "Then why have you been seeing him every day lately?"
Cui Yiluo turned her face away: "This is my business, it has nothing to do with you."
The next moment, he pinched her jaw and forced her to turn around, forcing her to meet his gaze forcefully.
"A Luo, don't forget, we are husband and wife."
He said it with utmost seriousness. He had said it several times before, each time with the same earnestness and solemnity, so she had believed him then, until she discovered he was taking contraceptive pills and knew what she had heard him and Xiao Jing talking about outside the study after the palace banquet that night.
Cui Yiluo scoffed softly, "Husband and wife? Jiang Yunjin, aren't you going to marry a concubine?"
Jiang Yunjin's expression instantly darkened like a gathering cloud. He spoke calmly and softly, "Is that how much you miss me?"
"Or do you really not mind at all that I marry someone else?"
She was even willing to watch him marry someone else and even burned the letters he wrote to her.
His eyes were sharp, as if he could see through everything in her heart. Cui Yiluo felt inexplicably guilty when she saw him, so she pushed him away and turned away.
But after taking a few steps, her waist suddenly felt tight, and her back was covered with warmth, which wrapped around her tightly like a vine, wrapping around her wherever she went.
His resolute and paranoid voice came from the top of his head: "I will not marry her, nor will I marry anyone else."
It was so solemn that it seemed like a promise. Cui Yiluo was stunned in his arms, the most unlikely possibility vaguely emerging in her mind.
"What do you mean?"
"A'Luo." Jiang Yunjin laughed at himself, and the sound made her eardrum vibrate slightly, but it seemed to vibrate her heart.
"What do I mean, you have no idea?"
Cui Yiluo's breath hitched. She stared at a fragment of a blue and white porcelain vase with a scroll cloud pattern on the ground for a long time. Jiang Yunjin didn't say anything, but he still held her tightly from behind, not allowing her to escape from him for a moment.
After an unknown amount of time, Cui Yiluo sneered, "Jiang Yunjin, you just love to lie."
She almost believed it.
The man behind her paused, then turned her around without a word and hugged her face to face, letting her expression appear in his eyes. His sharp eyebrows were tightly furrowed, and his eyes were staring at her inquiringly.
"What's the meaning?"
He pinched her jaw with his slender fingers, not allowing her to escape and vowed to find out the truth.
Cui Yiluo met his gaze and said clearly, "Did you forget to use the contraceptive pills when you returned home today?"
Jiang Yunjin's expression suddenly changed.
Cui Yiluo took in the shock in his expression, curled her lips into a sneer, and gently traced the scratches on his neck made by her fingertips, moving them downwards like a gurgling stream until they reached his heart.
She stared at his face with a smile full of mockery, and spoke softly in a gentle voice, as if whispering to each other.
"But my dear, you've had so many periods these past few days, and it was so intense. Tell me, is the contraceptive pill you took today still effective?"
