Chapter 4: The Disaster
Jiang Jiu was wolfing down his food in the room. Hearing the noise, he took a deep breath.
"What's supposed to happen will happen. Just let them wait outside."
You have to eat a full meal to have the strength to deal with it.
Xia Zhi understood immediately: "That's right, after all, I am the legal wife who was married to her. How can we meet them whenever they want?"
He turned around and walked outside, holding his head high, looking at the concubines below and giving them a disdainful look.
"My lady asked you to wait."
No reason, no time, he turned around and left.
The concubines looked at each other in bewilderment.
"Then how long do we have to wait?"
"Yes, I wonder if we'll see each other today."
The leading woman simply shouted at the door: "Madam, Mudan wants to see you."
Aunt Qian was like a wall, guarding the door.
She was still very satisfied in her heart. Jiang Jiu was gentle and easy to talk to. She thought she would suffer a loss if she married into his family.
Unexpectedly, he still has a bit of a temper.
Hearing the concubine's shout, Nanny Qian's face instantly darkened.
"You are indeed a small merchant with no manners. The Madam asked you to wait, so you just waited. It is not proper to make a scene. Are you so unruly in front of your old lady?"
Mudan curled her lips: "Old Madam? It depends on our young master's expression..."
After saying this she pursed her lips and smiled, Madam Lu couldn't control them, as they were all the young master's concubines.
As he was speaking, the door opened with a creak.
Jiang Jiu, wearing a bright red wedding dress, walked out of the house slowly.
"You are seeing the wrong person. The Lu family married the wrong person. Madam Qian, while Mr. Lu is away, let's quickly change the marriage."
Since she might not be able to come back, she wanted to take this opportunity to divorce him so that she could start her own business and gain freedom.
After saying that, Jiang Jiu, along with Nanny Qian and her two maids, walked towards the main room in a mighty manner.
Mudan and other concubines were all stunned.
Originally, he wanted to take advantage of Lu Yunyang's absence to give the new lady a warning and test her bottom line.
Who would have thought that the new wife would actually say that she had married the wrong man.
Mudan quickly called the maid to inform Lu Yunyang's mother, Lu Chen, in advance.
In the main house, Lu Yunyang's father, Lu Liuye, and Lu Chen were both more anxious than the other.
Lu Yunyang was so unreliable that he left his bride behind and went to a brothel on his wedding night.
But then there was an even more explosive piece of news, which shocked the two elders of the Lu family so much that they jumped up from their stools.
"What? You married the wrong girl? Isn't she County Magistrate Jiang's biological daughter? Is she his niece who was supposed to marry the scholar?"
Master Lu Liu was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. After turning around twice, he urged the servant.
"Quick, find your son back."
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Lu Chen was not in a hurry: "Great, Master, we can just return the person on the grounds that we married the wrong person, and then let the Jiang family exchange the eldest daughter of the Jiang family. If we delay it for a while, maybe Yun'er will come back soon."
"Delay time? Switch it back?" Master Lu Liu swung his sleeves fiercely, "What are you thinking? How do you know that the Jiang County Magistrate does not want to marry his daughter to your eccentric son?"
Master Lu Liu was very upset: "Besides, there is no movement from the Chang family now. If you ask our Lu family to replace the person, who knows whether it will be a new person or an old one? Our Lu family cannot afford to lose this person, so we can only make the best of it."
After saying this, Master Lu Liu couldn't help but complain to the eldest wife: "Why didn't my eldest brother and his wife look more carefully when they proposed to marry me? Quick, go call my eldest brother and his wife over and discuss it together."
When the news reached the first room, the eldest sister-in-law of the Lu family turned her face away and said, "I won't go."
"I married the wrong wife, but I didn't tell you earlier. Now I find out that Yunyang is not at home and has even gone to a brothel. I won't clean up the mess for them after such a shameful thing."
Master Lu was also furious and glared: "This Yunyang is such a jerk. It's all my mother's fault. She made him have bad habits. By the way, did you withdraw another two thousand taels of silver from the account last month?"
Madam Lu snorted coldly, "It's not just two thousand taels, it's two thousand eight hundred taels. Those eight hundred taels could last a lifetime for anyone, but in Yunyang's hands, it's just a small amount of pocket money."
Grandpa Lu pursed his lips tightly and made up his mind: "Mom is old and confused. She spoiled Yunyang to no end, but in the end, we are the ones who spent the money. In my opinion..."
Madam Lu's eyes lit up: "We can take this opportunity to divide the family and let the Sixth Brother raise his son by themselves. Even if they go bankrupt, it has nothing to do with us. We have a son too."
Mr. Lu agreed with this, and Mrs. Lu stood up and went directly to the cashier's office.
The Lu family was extremely wealthy, the only pity was that Lu Yunyang's generation had few descendants.
When Mrs. Lu was young, she was very fertile and gave birth to six sons. Lu Yunyang's father was the youngest one.
But by Lu Yunyang's generation, there were only two males, from the eldest and sixth families. As the offspring died out, old lady Lu doted on her youngest grandson, Lu Yunyang.
This is how he developed his dissolute and unruly character, spending money like water and frequenting brothels and bars.
I thought getting married would make him more restrained.
Who would have known that such an unbelievable thing would happen on the wedding day.
