Chapter 16 Lu Yunyang, a Freeloader

Just when Lu Yunyang was about to put the banknotes away, Jiang Jiu came over like a gust of wind.

He snatched the banknote and stuffed it back into Xiao Yimo's arms.

"Don't let him get away with it. The Lu family has houses and land. I will find a way to return the betrothal gift. This money cannot be used."

"Why?" Xiao Yimo was puzzled. "Jiang Jiu, you are not really interested in this dude, are you? Although he looks good, he actually can't do anything."

"No, don't make blind guesses. You really don't need to worry about me. Go back, go back." Jiang Jiu wanted to kick Xiao Yimo out.

Xiao Yimo shook his head and said, "I'm not leaving. I'm here to discuss business. I heard you were here, so I came to take you away."

Lu Yunyang was so angry that he jumped up and down: "What? You came to see her, aren't you here to apologize to me?"

Xiao Yimo sneered, "Why should I apologize to you? What else does your Lu family have besides money? Oh, by the way, now that you have been separated from the Lu family, it is said that even the money is gone."

Lu Yunyang was furious: "Jiang Jiu, you still say that you are innocent with him, and he has redeemed you.

What is the relationship? If you don’t explain it clearly today, I will force you to sink into the pond.”

Xiao Yimo was so angry that he laughed: "I am not innocent with her? Lu Yunyang, go and ask carefully. County Magistrate Jiang is my uncle. She, Jiang Mingyue and I are cousins. We are not innocent, but you and Miss Nishang are not innocent."

Jiang Jiu's face also darkened, and Mudan also thought that Lu Yunyang was making a fuss.

"Sir, you'd better come back with us, otherwise you will be in trouble when you meet Lord Jiang tomorrow."

Xiao Yimo whispered to Jiang Jiu, "Do you know who the owner of Hua Man Lou is? It's Nishang?"

And Nichang's lover was Lu Yunyang. For a while, it was unclear whether Lu Yunyang raised Nichang or Nichang raised Lu Yunyang.

Jiang Jiu raised his eyebrows and looked at Lu Yunyang with an increasingly strange look.

"This man is good-looking, which is an advantage. He can eat free meals everywhere."

Unexpectedly, the cricket Lu Yunyang chirped behind the two of them, and he heard it.

Living off a gigolo? When did Lu Yunyang become a gigolo…

But he was so angry that he didn't know where to vent it.

Amid the tense atmosphere, Nichang came in carrying wine and food.

"Sir, Madam, Mr. Xiao, please enjoy your meal."

After making a fuss all morning, Jiang Jiu was hungry, but as for dining at Hua Man Lou, Jiang Jiu still wanted to go out early.

Xiao Yimo sat down casually, poured a glass of wine for Jiang Jiu and started eating alone.

Here, Nichang was whispering to Lu Yunyang.

"Sir, you can't offend Mr. Xiao. He just gave us several songs with very good styles, but he wants to cooperate with Hua Man Lou. In my opinion, you should go back first."

"Mr. Xiao is a relative of Lord Jiang after all. Our Hua Man Lou has been losing money for half a year. There are only advantages and no disadvantages in cooperating with him."

Lu Yunyang really didn't know there was such a person as Xiao Yimo. After all, he was just a small casino owner, so he didn't know that he and County Mayor Jiang were actually relatives.

Jiang Jiu will be returning home tomorrow, so it is really inappropriate for him to stay in Hua Man Lou.

Since Jiu Ge is Xiao Yimo's boss, as long as you cooperate with Xiao Yimo, you will be able to meet Jiu Ge sooner or later.

Lu Yunyang suddenly stood up, walked forward and grabbed Jiang Jiu's arm.

"Come home with me."

Jiang Jiu was slightly startled, and actually asked: "Miss Nishang is still here, why did you go back?"

Lu Yunyang was so angry that he could hardly speak: "Mr. Xiao is here too, do you want to accompany him?"

After saying that, Lu Yunyang pulled Jiang Jiu away without saying anything.

"Madam, wait for me." Mudan watched the two of them walk a long way away before she reacted and followed them closely.

It's unclear whether it was Jiang Jiu or Lu Yunyang who came to catch the adulterer.

When Mudan arrived on the street, she turned her head and glanced at the sign of Hua Man Lou, then she was sure that she was accompanying her wife to find the young master to go home.

Now it doesn’t matter who goes back with whom, as long as everyone goes home.

Lu Yunyang walked forward with big strides in front, pulling Jiang Jiu to jog along, making Jiang Jiu panting.

"I'm hungry and want to eat." Jiang Jiu suddenly shook off Lu Yunyang's hand and stopped panting.

Mudan was also chasing after him, panting and begging for mercy.

"Sir, you, you are walking too fast. I, I can't keep up with you."

Lu Yunyang walked quickly, thinking all the way. Although the matter of Ninth Brother had not been investigated, he always felt that something was not right.

Since Xiao Yimo is a relative of County Magistrate Jiang, why is he still the shopkeeper for Ninth Brother? Can't he run his own business?

Besides, he had checked Xiao Yimo's background yesterday and found out that he was just a poor scholar without any family background. How did he suddenly become Mrs. Jiang's nephew?

Who exactly is this Ninth Brother?

He still had to continue investigating. His men were moving too slowly, which was driving him crazy.

Smelling the aroma of wine coming from the tavern not far away, Lu Yunyang also felt hungry.

They walked into a tavern, and the waiter warmly invited the three of them in.

"Mr. Lu, you haven't been here for a long time. What would you three like to eat?"

Lu Yunyang immediately listed several famous dishes: "Another pot of good wine, hurry up and serve."

He didn't ask Jiang Jiu, and Jiang Jiu didn't say anything. Mudan stood by and carefully served Jiang Jiu tea.

Jiang Jiu patted the stool and said, "No need to serve me. I'm not used to it. Sit down and eat with me."

Mudan looked around and was a little embarrassed: "This is not in accordance with the rules."

Jiang Jiu raised his eyes and glanced at Lu Yunyang: "When you go out, you don't need to be so particular. You have been tired for a long time. The young master is a man who cherishes women. Sit down and eat with us."

Lu Yunyang raised his eyebrows and looked Jiang Jiu up and down. Could it be that she used these small favors to bribe his concubine?

"Just sit down when I tell you to. You're not like that before."

Mudan was a little embarrassed: "In the past, there was no lady in the mansion, so naturally there were not so many rules."

Before the waiter served the dishes, he first brought a pot of tea.

Mudan heated the bowl and chopsticks in front of Jiang Jiu before starting to make tea.

Jiang Jiu was delighted to see Mudan's tea-making skills and blurted out, "Your tea-making skills are pretty good. I'll definitely be able to get twice the result with half the effort if I bring you along when I go to negotiate business with others."

Mudan smiled modestly. Lu Yunyang looked at the two of them and saw that they had come up with a vocabulary. He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. This woman was better at teasing other women than he was as a man.

The three of them were sitting by the window, and by coincidence, they were seen by Jiang Mingyue.

Jiang Mingyue accompanied Chang Zhili shopping and discussed the matter of housekeeper. Chang Zhili naturally agreed readily. The family was very poor, and if she was not allowed to be the housekeeper, their family would have nothing to eat.

Jiang Mingyue was feeling happy, but when she looked up and saw Jiang Jiu and Lu Yunyang, she felt indescribable surprise.

In her previous life, Lu Yunyang also did not come back on her wedding night, causing her to become the laughing stock of Xiang County. That night, she asked Old Madam Lu to make the decision and only then did she invite Lu Yunyang back from the brothel.

Who would have thought that the next day, Lu Yunyang went to the brothel again and did not return for the whole night.

Jiang Mingyue was upset and made a fuss for a long time, forcing Mr. Lu to call for help. It turned out that Mr. Lu was living in the brothel with Lu Yunyang.

This also caused complaints from my mother-in-law.

As a result, she was late when she returned home on the third day.

But in this life, the Lu family was peaceful, although she just heard that Lu Yunyang's wife went to the brothel in person to look for someone.

I didn't expect to find the person back.

Seeing them having dinner together, talking and laughing, could it be that Lu Yunyang has fallen in love with Jiang Jiu?
