Chapter 21: Flirting with my wife, is it easy?

"Ten taels of silver... She can't sell it for ten taels even if she sells it herself. Isn't this forcing us to leave?"

"No, we can't go back on a signed contract. Your young master is there, let's go and reason with him."

Zhao Tiezhu successfully incited the anger of Xiao Luzi and Wang Cheng's wife.

But he gave them a wink, and Jiang Jiu stood aside, telling them to go find Jiang Jiu directly.

Sure enough, the two of them rushed towards Jiang Jiu.

"You must be the new wife of the Lu family. Business is not going well right now. How can you just chase us away?"

"And you charge ten taels of silver. Even if you run your own business, you can't make ten taels a month."

The two of them were talking back and forth, their spit almost spraying on Jiang Jiu's face.

Chun Xiao had never seen such a powerful person before, and was so scared that she hid behind Jiang Jiu. Jiang Jiu also moved quickly to the table.

Here, Xia Zhi took advantage of no one's attention and stole the account book and put it on the carriage.

When I looked back, I saw that there was a quarrel in the shop.

Without saying a word, he punched Xiao Luzi.

"Assholes, you are so disrespectful to my girl, I will teach you a lesson..."

When Xiao Luzi was beaten, Wang Cheng's wife was frightened and screamed, and was about to rush towards Jiang Jiu.

Jiang Jiu turned around lightly and kicked the stool over, and Wang Cheng's wife was tripped.

Then he sat on the ground and burst into tears: "Someone was murdered, the young lady of the Lu family murdered someone..."

Xiaoluzi also started a fight with Xiazhi.

Just at this moment, Xiao Yimo passed by here, saw Jiang Jiu at a glance, and quickly jumped off the carriage.

"Xiaojiu, what's going on?"

Xiao Luzi got so angry that he threw a punch when he saw the person coming. As luck would have it, he hit Xiao Yimo directly in the face.

Just as Xiao Yimo was about to kick the man out, he heard Jiang Jiu yell, "No."

At this time, the government detectives also rushed over. One arrested Xiao Luzi, and the other arrested Wang Cheng's wife.

Jiang Jiu glanced at Zhao Tiezhu calmly and asked, "Are you going with me to the government office, or to see the old lady?"

Only then did Zhao Tiezhu realize that although the young lady in front of him looked weak and difficult to mess with, she had actually seen through everything.

He knelt down with a thump: "Young Madam, please consider my age and the fact that I have been the shopkeeper of the Lu family for my entire life, so please do not see the official..."

If he were to meet an official, not only would he go to jail, but his son, nephews, and relatives, at least all the merchants in Xiang County would no longer employ him and his reputation would be ruined.

If I could meet Madam Lu, at least there would be room for maneuver.

Jiang Jiu snorted coldly: "As the shopkeeper, you can only carry out the orders of the young master. If you stir up their emotions and make them confront me directly, at the very least, they will accuse me of being unkind and unjust as the young master."

"To put it bluntly, I am a woman facing these strange men, and my reputation has been tarnished. Manager Zhao, do you think you can escape the disaster by meeting the Madam?"

Zhao Tiezhu still thought too kindly of Jiang Jiu.

"What does the young lady want?"

Jiang Jiu threw a stack of account books at his feet and said, "I'll give you three days. Return all the money you've taken from the Lu family and embezzled from the Lu family over the years. Immediately pack up and leave. Don't even think about running away. If you don't get the money by the time limit, report to the authorities immediately. I don't think you can escape to the ends of the earth..."

Zhao Tiezhu's old body was hunched over, with a look of dejection on his face.

At this moment, Lu Yunyang also arrived at the shop. As soon as he arrived, he saw Jiang Jiu holding Xiao Yimo's face and applying medicine on him. The two of them were so close to each other, which made him furious.

"What's going on?"

As soon as Zhao Tiezhu saw Lu Yunyang, he immediately rushed over to beg for mercy: "Master, please spare my life. Master, you have grown up under my watch. Please spare me this time. I promise to run the shop well in the future and never make mistakes again."

Lu Yunyang looked at the elderly Zhao Tiezhu and felt a little bit sorry for him, so he stepped forward and pulled him up.

"It's not a big deal. He has worked for the Lu family all his life. So what if he is greedy for money? Just consider him as being taken care of by the Lu family in his old age. You should know that the Lu family is not only engaged in business, but also in charity."

Jiang Jiu was so angry that his face turned blue and he handed the account to Lu Yunyang.

"Do you want to see how much he has embezzled?"

"Corruption is one thing, and the Lu family's charity is another. If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense here."

"As the saying goes, kindness does not command the army, and righteousness does not command the finances. The fact that the Lu family has been able to run such a large business is not entirely due to kindness."

Xiao Yimo also laughed at Lu Yunyang: "Xiaojiu, don't tell these things to Mr. Lu. He doesn't understand. You are just talking to a cow."

As he said this, he took the account book, looked through it roughly, and smiled.

"It's really good. Such a good shop only costs five taels of silver a month. So, Lu Yunyang, I will give you five hundred taels. Sell this shop to me."

Lu Yunyang was stunned: "Five hundred taels? How long will it take you to make back your money?"

Xiao Yimo raised his eyebrows and said proudly, "With such a good position, it will only take three months at most. Do you know how cute a pink slave is? If it's a cute lady, less than two months will be enough."

"Five taels of silver a month, hahahaha, you are begging with a golden bowl in your hands. You even said you would give it to your shopkeeper for retirement. I think it's enough to support his whole family."

Zhao Tiezhu's legs went limp and he knelt down again: "Sir, please check carefully. I have really tried my best. I am not as corrupt as you think."

Xiao Yimo sarcastically said, "You are running such a good shop. If you don't make money, you will lose money. What else do you want? If I were the Lu family, I would have replaced you long ago."

Lu Yunyang knew that the shopkeeper of his family was corrupt. Looking at the elderly Zhao Tiezhu, he instantly understood that Madam Lu wanted to use him to clean up the parasites in the Lu family.

"What a bastard! He even lied to me. Someone, kidnap him for me and notify his family to redeem him."

Lu Yunyang glanced at Xiao Luzi and Wang Cheng's wife again.

"Pack your things and get out of here. As for the contract signed with the Lu family, I will pay you every penny..."

"But you actually attacked my Lu family..."

Xiao Luzi's legs went weak and he almost fell to his knees. He hurried to pack his things.

"We're leaving now. As long as you don't pursue the matter, we won't come tomorrow..."

Wang Cheng's wife also quickly packed up her things, and the two of them closed the shop dejectedly.

Lu Yunyang is a playboy. Apart from spending money, he never suffers losses. He will beat anyone who dares to touch him to death. Anyway, the Lu family is rich and powerful, so he is the only one who can bully others and no one dares to touch him.

What's more, he is now a relative of County Magistrate Jiang, so he can basically do whatever he wants in Xiang County.

Lu Yunyang looked at Jiang Jiu, then at Xiao Yimo, a lazy smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

"Mr. Xiao, is it okay to tease my wife?"

"You..." Xiao Yimo raised his fist in anger, but was blocked by Jiang Jiu.

"You should go back first and don't bother with him."

Lu Yunyang pondered for a moment, a gleam in his eyes, and stepped forward to grab Jiang Jiu's arm.

"Come home with me."

Jiang Jiu was about to fight when Lu Yunyang suddenly bent over and picked him up.

Jiang Jiu was so frightened that he cried out, "What are you doing? Put me down now."

"Don't move." Lu Yunyang frowned and scolded, "Don't forget your identity. You are my woman."

Jiang Jiu was so angry that he laughed. He pointed out his mistake: "You are trying to declare your sovereignty in front of Xiao Yimo, so childish."
