Chapter 22: Test and Test Again

As soon as he got into the carriage, Jiang Jiu moved away from him.

Lu Yunyang stroked his chin and thought for a long time, then suddenly spoke.

"You've fired the shopkeeper Zhao. What are you going to do with this shop?"

Jiang Jiu didn't expect that Lu Yunyang actually cared about this.

"Of course, he also opened a snack shop. This location is good. It turns out that the couple Wang Cheng who made snacks are the nephews of the shopkeeper Zhao. They made a lot of money. In two years, they bought a yard in Xiang County."

"The cooking skills of Shaoyao are also good, and the bamboo shoots made by Zhuxiang are also delicious. This location is frequented by people who are on the go. It is definitely better to stop here to drink tea, eat some snacks, and bring some snacks home than to rent it out every month."

"So you had planned it long ago." Lu Yunyang narrowed his peach blossom eyes and a nonchalant smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Jiang Jiu sighed: "Now the expenses of the family are huge. If I don't make some plans, you can't really let me use my dowry to support you. Besides, I don't have any..."

Lu Yun

Yang laughed coldly twice and suddenly changed the subject: "Are you familiar with Xiao Yimo?"

"Yeah." Jiang Jiu lowered his eyes, not knowing why Lu Yunyang suddenly mentioned him.

Lu Yunyang continued to ask, "It is said that he came to Xiang County three years ago to seek refuge with his relatives. His family suffered a flood and both his parents died. He started from nothing and now he is the owner of a casino. He is quite capable."

Jiang Jiu raised his eyelids and glanced at Lu Yunyang: "I don't know much about these, they are just relatives."

Lu Yunyang stared at Jiang Jiu with deep eyes and brows: "It's not easy for Jiao Niang either. She was an orphan who became someone else's concubine and was almost sold. Now she is the shopkeeper of Fannujiao. She is quite capable."

Jiang Jiu directly denied it this time: "I'm not familiar with her."

Lu Yunyang took out a portrait from his sleeve pocket and unfolded it.

"But they are both Brother Jiu's people, and I happened to get a picture of Brother Jiu today..."

Jiang Jiu's heart skipped a beat. He raised his eyes, and his clear and deep eyes flashed quickly before he fell silent.

"Do you think he looks like someone?" Lu Yunyang asked.

Jiang Jiu stared at Lu Yunyang with his eyes fixed, but his mind was sinking to the bottom of the sea.

"Like whom?"

Lu Yunyang frowned and his heart skipped a beat: "Does Xiao Yimo have a younger brother, or does County Mayor Jiang have other sons and nephews?"

"Ahem." Jiang Jiu shook his head gently, "I don't know."

Lu Yunyang spread the portrait on the table and looked at it carefully: "I always feel that this person looks familiar, but don't you think it's strange that I can't find any information about him? Could it be that he is not from Xiangxian at all, but is from another place like Xiao Yimo?"

Jiang Jiu breathed a sigh of relief: "It's possible. After all, a few years ago, several villages around here were hit by floods. Many people were homeless, and many fled to seek refuge with relatives and friends."

Lu Yunyang felt that his guess was correct.

"If he was from another place, he would be amazing. He made a lot of money in Xiangxian in just three years. He is a business genius."

Jiang Jiu continued to remain silent.

Lu Yunyang's eyes were full of longing: "You said, if I could find him, let him work for me, and help me make a lot of money, how great it would be."

"Tsk." Jiang Jiu couldn't help but despise him. "To be used by you? What can you give him? Money or an official position? There is no benefit. He has to share the money he earns with you. Do you think he is a fool?"

Lu Yunyang was choked by Jiang Jiu and jumped up in anger: "I admire him and respect him, humph, you don't know what's good for you, I won't go home tonight."

After saying this, Lu Yunyang jumped off the carriage again and ran away.

Chunxiao was speechless. No one else could make Lu Yunyang angry three times a day except his young lady.

"Girl, we're already home, why did your aunt run away again?"

Jiang Jiu shrugged, spread his hands, and jumped directly from the carriage.

"His legs are on his body, I can control him. Xiazhi, go call Mudan and Shaoyao to my room and tell them that the tea shop is ready to open."

Chun Xiao was just about to enter the house with Jiang Jiu when he saw Jiao Niang chasing after them.

"Madam, please stay..."

The maid came over carrying a box and said, "Thank you for helping me yesterday. This is a small gift from me. Please accept it."

"Oh, by the way, the store has a new type of balm. If you are free, please come and have a look."

Jiang Jiu smiled slightly: "You're welcome, please accept it."

Chunxiao took the gift box, opened it, and found a box of snacks and a box of balsam inside.

But when Jiang Jiu took the box into the room and closed the door, he found that the bottom layer contained a ledger and a contract.

Here, when Lu Yunyang arrived at Hua Man Lou, the first thing he said was to ask his men to invite Xiao Yimo over, and he would host a banquet for Xiao Yimo.

Lu Yunyang asked Nichang to force Xiao Yimo to drink heavily, and then to get him drunk so as to extract information from him.

Unexpectedly, after Xiao Yimo drank too much, he pulled Lu Yunyang and started crying.

"Give my little Jiu back to me, she's mine... I've liked her for so long, but it's because I have no money or power, and my uncle doesn't like her..."

"Give me back my little Jiu..."

Lu Yunyang had always been the one thinking about other people's women, and suddenly his own woman was being thought about by someone else, he felt extremely uncomfortable.

"Return her, return her. Wait until Jiang Jiu returns the betrothal money to me, and I will return her to you... However, if you tell me who your boss Jiu Ge is, I would rather not have the betrothal money and return her to you immediately..."

Xiao Yimo's eyes were blurred: "Ninth Brother... Hehe, Ninth Brother..."

Suddenly, Xiao Yimo couldn't help vomiting the wine, and vomited all over Lu Yunyang. Lu Yunyang was so angry that he kicked him away.

"Xiaojiu, my Xiaojiu, the sky will never grow old, love will never end, my heart is like a double-threaded net, with thousands of knots in it..."

Lu Yunyang raised his beautiful eyebrows and said, "Don't mention it. Not only can you make money, you are also quite talented. Is this poem written by you?"

Xiao Yimo smiled bitterly: "It's Xiaojiu."

Hmm? Written by Jiang Jiu?

Xiao Yimo suddenly extended his index finger and clicked his tongue: "Hush, I'm telling you something in secret, don't tell that bastard Lu Yunyang, he's not worthy of Xiaojiu... hehe."

Lu Yunyang rolled his eyes in frustration: You are not worthy of her. You are just a little girl who has come to live with her relatives. How can you be more than worthy of her?

Just about to push Xiao Yimo aside.

Xiao Yimo continued, "Xiaojiu already has someone in her heart. Hehe, I'm late... I'm late... I wish we had met before I got married..."

I don’t know what happened, but suddenly, on a sunny day, there was a loud thunder outside, echoing through the clouds.

Lu Yunyang felt his head explode: "What did you say? Jiang Jiu has someone in his heart? Who is that person?"

Xiao Yimo smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I don't know, I don't know, hahahaha, we don't know..."

Lu Yunyang was annoyed and grabbed Xiao Yimo by the collar: "You don't know, or you don't want to tell me..."

Xiao Yimo was drunk, and just kept mumbling: "I wish we had met before I got married."

Lu Yunyang threw Xiao Yimo aside and stood up suddenly. There was a frosty look on his handsome face. His peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly, and his gaze turned cold and frosty.

"Jiang Jiu, you are doing very well..."

After Nichang finished playing a piece on the pipa, she looked at Lu Yunyang's face and tried to persuade him cautiously.

"Master, you want to divorce Miss Jiang anyway, so just listen to what Master Xiao said and don't get angry..."

Lu Yunyang took a deep breath and closed his eyes, but he still couldn't suppress the anger in his chest.

"My woman will not be betrayed."

After saying that, he shook his sleeves and left.

Suddenly, it started raining heavily outside the window.
