Chapter 40 Is Lu Yunyang a traitor?

"Madam, don't worry. I have the soul-severing grass that the doctor is looking for."

As they were talking, an acquaintance came in. Jiang Jiu looked closely and found that it was Gu Chengyan who had drunk with them that day.

Thinking about the fact that Gu Chengyan is now the Ninth Prince's aide, he must have been there when the Ninth Prince was assassinated just now.

With the soul-severing grass, Chu Yu quickly prepared the herbs. But when it came to blood transfusion, the main reason was that he was afraid that Lu Yunyang would lose too much blood after squeezing out the poisonous blood.

Doctor Cao Yu in the mansion organized people to donate blood, and this went on until the evening, when everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Chu Yu: "Okay, the poison in his body has been cured, but his body is weak and he can't move for the time being."

Doctor Cao Yu also took Lu Yunyang's pulse and looked at Chu Yu in shock with his dark eyes.

"Young lady, you are a very skilled doctor. You can even cure such a difficult poison. I admire you so much."

Jiang Jiu was just about to ask the Ninth Prince to let him stay for a few more days.

Unexpectedly, the guard beside the Ninth Prince spoke first.

"The prince has gone back to his room to rest. Mr. Lu is not feeling well, so he can stay for a few more days. There is no need to rush back."

As he spoke, the guard also sent several maids and two old women to serve Lu Yunyang, which made Jiang Jiu feel very flattered.

Sometimes, when you overdo it, something is not right.

Jiang Jiu asked Xia Zhi, Chu Yu and the others to go back and replace them with Nanny Qian to serve Lu Yunyang with her.

It was late at night and everyone was asleep. Candles were burning in the room, swaying in the breeze.

Lu Yunyang lay quietly on the bed, while Jiang Jiu and Nanny Qian were sitting at the table not far away.

Jiang Jiu’s main task today is to come to the Ninth Prince’s Mansion and take back his things.

Aunt Qian

Nanny Qian had been worried when Jiang Jiu and the others were away, but she didn't expect that news of an assassination attempt would come from the Ninth Prince's mansion, which made Nanny Qian very nervous.

It was not until Xia Zhi returned and it was her turn to enter the Qi Palace and see Jiang Jiu safe and sound that she slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Oh my God, girl, you are going to scare me to death. If something happens to you, how can I have the face to take you to the capital to find your parents..."

Jiang Jiu pulled Nanny Qian to sit down and poured her a cup of tea.

"It was Lu Yunyang who blocked an arrow for me. I always looked down on him before, but I didn't expect that he is actually a good person..."

Madam Qian glanced at Lu Yunyang and said, "It's good or bad. Since you are going to marry him, you have to live a decent life. It's not good for you to keep thinking about divorce. It's better to persuade Master Lu to do business with you. He will be able to help you when you go to the capital in the future."

Jiang Jiu also had this plan. He sighed and said, "Let's wait until he wakes up. We don't know if he is willing to take the risk with us."

Aunt Qian frowned: "Logically speaking, although the ring may not look good on the outside, it is actually carved from the finest white jade. Even if it was pawned, it should be worth at least three or five hundred taels. And if it was really pawned, we should know about it."

Jiang Jiu helplessly took out the map of the Ninth Prince's Mansion.

"But I have searched all these places, and the ring is not there. Instead, there are many treasures in the mansion that are worth a fortune. Mammy, if the prince gave the ring to the servants...how are we going to find it?"

Aunt Qian also had a sad face: "Then I can only follow your method and become a prostitute. However, prostitutes are lowly and it is an insult to the girl."

Jiang Jiu waved his hands: "That's fine, as long as we can find the ring left by our mother, everything will be fine."

When talking about Jiang Jiu's mother, Nanny Qian's eyes immediately turned red.

"It's all the old master's wife's fault. She knew that the old master loved your mother deeply, but she insisted on killing them all. Otherwise, how could she cause the girl and the lady to be separated from each other?"

Jiang Jiu didn't say anything and lowered her eyes. As a modern person, she actually looked down on her mother's behavior. Isn't this just two plus one?

She knew clearly that the man was married, but she still insisted on sticking to him and even gave birth to a child with him. She even lost a good business. She is definitely a love-brained person.

But in ancient times, Nanny Qian seemed to be able to criticize the first wife for being narrow-minded and intolerant, and also blame the first wife for being vicious.

Nanny Qian felt uncomfortable. Jiang Jiu slowly walked to the window. The scenery outside the window was pleasant. A crescent moon hung in the starry sky, and shadows were everywhere in the yard.

After looking carefully for a while, Jiang Jiu discovered that the room was surrounded by people.

She calmed herself down, half-closed the window, entered the room, took Aunt Qian's hand, and blew out the light.

"Mammy, it's getting late. I think my husband is fine. You should go and rest first."

Jiang Jiu took Nanny Qian to the next room before turning around and closing the door.

"Girl, what's wrong? Why are you so mysterious?"

Jiang Jiu sighed softly: "Mammy, do you feel that something is wrong in the yard?"

"Don't look, listen to me first." Nanny Qian wanted to open the door to take a look, but was stopped by Jiang Jiu.

Aunt Qian nervously grabbed Jiang Jiu's hand: "What's wrong?"

The more Jiang Jiu thought about it, the more she felt something was not right: "Mammy, how could Lu Yunyang, a dandy son of a merchant family, win the favor of the Ninth Prince?"

"Moreover, after he was injured, the Ninth Prince seemed to be more nervous than anyone else. He even asked the guards in the palace to donate blood for him."

"And there's Gu Chengyan, he's the Ninth Prince's aide and a Jinshi, why is he so respectful to Lu Yunyang?"

Aunt Qian thought about it carefully and said, "Could it be that the Lu family gives more gifts to the Ninth Prince every year?"

Jiang Jiu shook his head lightly: "I don't think it's possible that any item in the Ninth Prince's warehouse can buy all of Lu Yunyang's belongings."

Suddenly, Aunt Qian covered her mouth in shock.

"Miss, could that Master Lu be the Ninth Prince's..."

There were many men who had no moral integrity in ancient times. Lu Yunyang was so handsome that he was popular with both men and women. Jiang Jiu believed this very well.

"Psst, this matter is between you and me, don't tell anyone else, it won't be good if it gets out."

Aunt Qian was worried: "Miss, if this is true, it's better to get a divorce."

No matter what, Jiang Jiu cannot be allowed to marry a man who has no moral integrity.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Jiu shook his head and said, "There is no need for divorce. We should use this relationship to let him help us find the ring. Besides, if we want to take back our mother's business in Su City in the future, we will also need the support of the Ninth Prince..."

After hearing what Jiang Jiu said, Nanny Qian's eyes lit up: "Yes, although this relationship doesn't sound good, it is useful, and in the future when we arrive in the capital... no matter how powerful the eldest lady's pillow talk is, it can't be as powerful as the lover..."

With Lu Yunyang, Jiang Jiu can use the Ninth Prince's connections. Nanny Qian also feels that although the moon tonight is only a crescent, it is dazzlingly bright.

Sure enough, before Jiang Jiu returned, he saw Doctor Cao Yu coming to examine Lu Yunyang again.

These three visits a day are comparable to those of the Ninth Prince himself.

The one who came with Doctor Cao Yu this time was none other than the Ninth Prince himself, wearing a mask and a turmeric-colored dragon robe. Who else could it be but the Ninth Prince?

It's so late, and I came to see Lu Yunyang quietly. If you say that the two of them don't have anything going on, Jiang Jiu won't believe it even if you kill him.

Jiang Jiu was very tactful and took a seat with the two of them. She did not return to the room until the Ninth Prince left.

Lu Yunyang had already woken up, his face pale, half leaning on the bed, his messy hair, his absolutely beautiful face, under the dim candlelight, unexpectedly had a kind of broken beauty...

For a moment, Jiang Jiu was actually stunned.
