Chapter 31 I won't divorce you, I'll just cling to you
After listening to Jiang Jiu's words, Lu Yunyang slowly let out a breath.
"What is it? Otherwise, it would be useless to directly control King Qi. He has a lot of things, and they may not be very rare."
Jiang Jiu shook his head again: "No, no one can know about it. It's better to have less trouble than more. I don't want to implicate you..."
Lu Yunyang touched his nose and poured himself a cup of tea.
Suddenly he asked, "Who are your parents? Is your hometown really Jiangjiazhuang?"
Jiang Jiu slowly walked to the window. A crescent moon was hanging in the sky. Her beautiful eyes were slightly raised, and there was a hint of sadness in her clear eyes, as well as an indescribable loneliness.
Lu Yunyang's heart skipped a beat. He was very familiar with this feeling of loneliness.
"It doesn't matter. I'm just me, Lu Yunyang. Thank you for giving me a chance to make money. I know you need money too."
"I have already arranged the affairs of the Lu family. Mudan will help you manage the accounts. Everyone else has their own business. Manager Li is very honest. As long as you don't overeat, the money they earn will be enough for you to enjoy for several years."
Lu Yunyang listened quietly. Jiang Jiu was planning to leave. He was a nice guy and had arranged his family affairs.
"What else?"
Jiang Jiu tilted his head and thought carefully: "Wait a few more years, and you can marry another wife. They can't control Mudan and the others at will. I have returned the indentures to them. If they are willing to stay and serve you, I hope you will give them some respect."
"If they don't want to stay, give them some silver and let them go."
Lu Yunyang's eyes flickered: "Only arranged for a few years? No second half of life?"
Jiang Jiu turned his head and glared angrily: "Isn't it enough in these few years? When you get married in the future, can't you just let her take care of you? Do you think I have to settle both of you?"
Lu Yunyang curled his lips and said sarcastically but nonchalantly, "But I don't want to get divorced. What if I insist on you taking care of me for the rest of my life?"
Jiang Jiu glared at him: "What do you mean? Are you relying on me?"
Lu Yunyang chuckled: "I'm your husband, is that not possible?"
Jiang Jiu rolled his eyes speechlessly: "No, I don't like you, why do you have to rely on me for the rest of my life."
Lu Yunyang was not convinced: "What if I insist on relying on you..."
Jiang Jiu threatened him without hesitation: "Then I will take you to Sucheng. When we get to Sucheng, you will be unfamiliar with the place and I will poison you to death..."
"Have you heard the story of Wu Dalang? He married a beautiful wife, but he was poor and could not keep her under control. As a result, the wife started having an affair with another man. In order to marry her lover, the beautiful wife poisoned Wu Dalang to death."
Lu Yunyang was annoyed, his eyes suddenly turned cold: "You dare..."
Jiang Jiu spread his hands and said, "Then don't bother me anymore, let's part ways in peace..."
Lu Yunyang was so angry at Jiang Jiu that he was speechless.
Just at this moment, Xiao Yimo came in with a contract.
"Xiaojiu, Hongxiu has gone out to sell her clothes, and the girls have packed up and are ready to go to Sucheng."
Jiang Jiu nodded slightly: "Okay, you go first."
Xiao Yimo glanced at Lu Yunyang warily, and then said: "Xiaojiu, don't take certain people too seriously. We have other ways to enter the Qi Palace..."
While warning Lu Yunyang not to push his luck further, he also wanted to protect Jiang Jiu.
Jiang Jiu nodded again: "Okay, I will do things in moderation, you just need to take care of those girls..."
Xiao Yimo left again, and Jiang Jiu also stood up and prepared to go back.
"Keep the silver, and we'll see you later."
As soon as Jiang Jiu left, Lu Ming came in.
"Master, the Red Sleeves Move has been transferred. Guess who it was transferred to?"
Lu Yunyang narrowed his eyes slightly: "It can't be the Lu family."
Lu Ming nodded solemnly: "He is the third master of the Lu family. Although half of the business in Xiang County belongs to the Lu family, the Lu family has no successors now and has split up."
"Miss Jiang sold the Red Sleeves to Master Lu San for five thousand taels and took some girls away with her."
"Since that Red Sleeves Shop belongs to Miss Jiang... could it be that she is the one who has been challenging us?"
Lu Yunyang was playing with the teacup in his hand, and he already had a plan in his mind.
"Even if she doesn't marry me, we will meet sooner or later. Lu Ming, ah Lu Ming, our Hua Man Lou is not as good as Hong Xiu Zhao. Who knows, Jiang Jiu may have already found out about our background..."
Lu Ming was shocked: "What is the master's identity?"
Lu Yunyang smiled contemptuously: "Her hands are not that far-reaching. She just found out our details in Xiang County. As for Sucheng... she is just a newcomer..."
In Xiang County, Lu Yunyang is not only a playboy of the Lu family, but also the owner of Hua Man Lou. In Jiang Jiu's view, Hua Man Lou is just a brothel.
So Jiang Jiu also founded Hongxiuzhao in order to get closer to Lu Yunyang.
Little did she know that Jiang Jiu could actually marry Lu Yunyang, thus realizing her goals of freedom and entering the Ninth Prince's Palace ahead of schedule.
As for the rest, Lu Yunyang guessed that Jiang Jiu didn't really find out anything.
But he felt a little frustrated that his secrets were discovered by a little girl without him noticing.
Lu Yunyang suddenly stood up from his chair, stared at the box of silver for a while, and raised his chin proudly.
"Let's go to Suzhou too. The Lu family has nothing left to use. If she can sell Hong Xiu Zhao, we can also sell Hua Man Lou. Master Lu Wu and Master Lu San are not on good terms. Let Ni Chang go to discuss this with Master Lu Wu."
Lu Ming was a little surprised: "Master is going to Sucheng? But what if..."
Lu Yunyang was confident: "There is nothing to worry about. I am just Jiang Jiu's useless husband. With her around, don't worry. Everything is under control..."
Jiang Jiu's stuff
Not much, both cars took it away.
Lu Yunyang attends the Dragon Boat Festival banquet at Prince Qi's Mansion almost every year, so it is natural for him to bring his wife along this time.
A luxurious carriage was pulling Lu Yunyang and Jiang Jiu, followed by six other carriages carrying gifts for King Qi.
It passed through the street in a mighty procession, attracting the pointing and comments of passers-by.
"Master Lu went to Prince Qi's palace again."
"Yes, even though he does nothing all day, who knows how he caught the eye of King Qi."
"I heard he brought his new wife along."
"Yes, whoever said that he and his new wife were not getting along, this is a slap in the face."
From a distance, Jiang Mingyue stood at the door of her house, watching the Lu family's carriage pass by her door.
In her previous life, Lu Yunyang also attended the Dragon Boat Festival banquet at Prince Qi's Mansion every year, but Lu Yunyang never brought her with him.
Every time she wanted to go, even if she gave Lu Yunyang a lot of money, he always had a reason to disagree. There were even one or two times when he would rather take concubines such as Peony and Begonia with him than take her, his wife.
But in this life, Jiang Jiu had no virtue or ability to follow Lu Yunyang to attend the King Qi's banquet.
Thinking of Chang Zhili again, he was about to take the autumn imperial examination, but he spent all day eating, drinking and having fun, and did not study hard at all.
She even wondered how Chang Zhili could have passed the imperial examination and become the top scholar if he had always been like this.
Without waiting for the Lu family's carriage to leave, Jiang Mingyue turned and entered the yard, closing the door with a bang.
"Mom, I'm going to pack up and go to Suzhou with my husband. The exam is in three months, and I want him to get familiar with the environment in advance."
Chang's mother immediately agreed: "Okay, okay, there are many students in Suzhou, which is more conducive to my son's study. I will go with you."
