Chapter 15 I want your money...

"I am plain-looking and of low status. I know that I am not worthy of Master Lu's attention. There is no one else here. Master, just be frank with me. What do you want?"

Lu Yunyang and Jiang Jiu got married two days ago and stayed at Hua Man Lou for two nights.

If this happened to any other woman, she would have gone to the brothel to look for the man.

But Jiang Jiu acted as if nothing had happened and went to inspect Lu's store.

If Lu Yunyang hadn't left his wife behind, Jiang Jiu might not have come to find him.

It can be seen that Lu Yunyang has no status at all in Jiang Jiu's heart.

"You are still self-aware. I want...you..."

Jiang Jiu's eyes suddenly narrowed...

"The money..."

Only after hearing Lu Yunyang utter the last two words did he slowly exhale.

Looking at Lu Yunyang's nonchalant look, I really wanted to slap him.

Mudan had been silent just now. She was actually a little sad because Lu Yunyang was going to take a concubine again, and this time it was an elderly woman who had given birth to a child.

Now she saw that Lu Yunyang was not really going to take a concubine, but was forcing his wife for money. She was a little confused.

Is that young lady just now very familiar with the Madam? Why would the Madam protect her?

Jiang Jiu knew that since Lu Yunyang had been deprived of his financial resources by the Lu family, he would have to make it up from other places.

"You're asking me for money? If I had the money, I would have given it to you long ago. Why would I bother with you here..."

Lu Yunyang sneered and touched his nose: "For you, Miss Jiang Jiu, you may not have money, but for Brother Jiu, that little bit of betrothal money is just a drizzle..."

Jiang Jiu's teeth squeaked as he gnashed his teeth: "Brother Jiu? Who is it?"

Lu Yunyang opened his fan and fanned it twice in a pretentiously cool manner.

"I need to ask Xiao Yimo about this. He plotted against me and seduced my wife. I want to ask his master for some compensation. Do you think a rouge shop is enough? If not, there is still the casino..."

"Madam, do you think Brother Nine will agree?"

Jiang Jiu stared at Lu Yunyang with his big eyes, like a bottomless spring. When he heard Lu Yunyang's words, his eyes instantly became sharp.

In just a moment, her long eyelashes drooped, she played with her slender fingers, and a fleeting smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

"Brother Nine? I don't know him. I have been living in the Jiang family since I was a child. I never leave the house. Who knows if he agrees or not?"

After saying that, Jiang Jiu raised his eyes to look at him again, his dark eyes moving, pure and clear.

Mudan's eyes lit up. "So the Fen Nujiao shop is owned by a man called Brother Jiu. His rouge is very easy to use, it has no lead and makes your skin smooth and moisturized when applied. If you know Brother Jiu, can you ask him to give us a discount? His rouge is good, but the price is a bit high, only one or two taels of silver."

Jiang Jiu smiled slightly: "I really don't know him, but my cousin is also a big customer of Fennujiao. I'll go back and ask her if she has met the boss."

However, Lu Yunyang kept staring at Jiang Jiu, not missing a single bit of her expression. Seeing that she did not admit it, he curled his lips slightly.

"Oh? Since you said you don't know him, that's easy. Half of the Chamber of Commerce in Xiang County is owned by the Lu family. If I suggest that they drive Brother Jiu's business out of Xiang County, I'm afraid I won't see the mysterious Brother Jiu anymore."

Jiang Jiu pursed her lips tightly, lowered her eyelids, and couldn't help laughing in her heart.

I thought he would use some means, but he was just relying on the power of the Chamber of Commerce. Only a playboy like Lu Yunyang would think of using power to suppress others. However, no matter how powerful the Chamber of Commerce is, it cannot defeat the officials.

"What does it have to do with me? If you have nothing else to do, please come back with me."

Of course Lu Yunyang didn't want to go back: "No, I was humiliated by Xiao Yimo yesterday. I'm going to wait for him to apologize to me later. Since you don't say anything, I'm sure he will."

Jiang Jiu raised his eyebrows: "Okay, then you wait here. I don't know whether Xiao Yimo will come or not. If Madam Lu knew that you haven't returned for two nights and that the lady had come to the brothel, I'm sure she would come to invite you in person so that she can give an explanation to the county magistrate."

Lu Yunyang was slightly startled: "How dare you disturb the old lady?"

Jiang Jiu spread his hands and said, "Do I still need to be alarmed? I'm afraid I've become the laughing stock of the entire Xiang County now, and I won't be able to go back home tomorrow."

Lu Yunyang was worried. Even if Jiang Jiu had married the wrong woman, she was still the niece of County Magistrate Jiang after all. The people should not fight against the officials. When Jiang Jiu returned home tomorrow, it would be embarrassing for both of them.

However, when his men investigated Jiang Jiu and Xiao Yimo, they only found out that Jiao Niang was closer to Xiao Yimo, and Jiang Jiu was a frequent visitor of Fan Nujiao.

As for the Ninth Brother they were talking about, there was no solid evidence to prove that he had any relationship with Jiang Jiu.

I wanted to use the Chamber of Commerce to deceive her, but Jiang Jiuya refused to accept the offer.

Thinking that Ninth Brother was the owner of Fan Nujiao and the casino, Lu Yunyang felt itchy in his heart.

He wanted to find him and let him make money for him, but that was all he found out. As for Ninth Brother's house, Xiao Yimo lived there.

His subordinates thought that Xiao Yimo was the legendary Ninth Brother, but later on they found out that Xiao Yimo was just the owner of a casino.

As for the boss behind the scenes, Brother Jiu, what does he look like?

He didn't say a word.

Like Xiao Yimo, Jiao Niang refused to tell him anything, so he had no choice but to threaten her, threatening to take her as his concubine if she didn't tell him anything.

Who knows, Jiang Jiu is here.

Just when a clue flashed through Lu Yunyang's mind, the clue was cut off again.

It's a bit difficult to meet this mysterious person.

Lu Yunyang doesn't do business himself, so naturally he can't cooperate with others. The mysterious Ninth Brother will only show up when he cooperates with others on a big project.

At this moment, the madam suddenly came to report.

"Master Lu, a young man named Xiao wants to see you."

Lu Yunyang said with some pride: "Xiao Yimo is here..."

"Let him in."

The madam went to invite someone, and Lu Yunyang sat back on the main seat, leaning lazily on the chair, playing with the teacup nonchalantly, looking like a dandy boy.

"I want to marry Jiao Niang as my concubine, but you won't let me. Fine, if you can't explain the matter between you and Xiao Yimo clearly, I will report to the head of the Lu family and have you drowned."

Jiang Jiu's heart skipped a beat, but before she could say anything, Mudan took the lead in speaking up for her.

"Sir, how could you do this? Madam went to the casino because of you."

Lu Yunyang's eyes widened: "That's why I discovered her relationship with Xiao Yimo. It's unclear and unclear. She was unfaithful to me, so why can't she be buried alive?"

"You are just a playboy, but you have done a great deed by marrying my Xiaojiu. Are you looking for an excuse to kill my Xiaojiu and marry someone else?"

With a roar, Xiao Yimo kicked the door open.

The madam standing by touched the poor door. It had been kicked twice in one day. That door was made of precious huanghuali wood.

Lu Yunyang didn't expect Xiao Yimo to have bad intentions, and he jumped up from his chair.

"You, what do you want to do? It was you who insisted on dragging me to gamble yesterday. I am a member of the Lu family. The Lu family has a discipline that prohibits us from going to the casino. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have lost that one thousand taels."

Xiao Yimo snorted coldly: "I told you to gamble, so you went to gamble. I told you to die, so why didn't you go? Today, I came here to take Miss Jiang away. I want you to divorce her."

Jiang Jiu didn't expect that Xiao Yimo hadn't quit yet.

He rubbed his fleshy brows and said, "When I pay back the betrothal money, I will naturally divorce him, and you will be included in it. Go back."

Xiao Yimo slapped a few banknotes on the table with a "pop".

"It's just three thousand taels of silver. I gave it to you."
