Chapter 41 Don't Be a Third Party, I'll Give You Money
"Come here."
Lu Yunyang opened his pale, colorless lips slightly. Jiang Jiu was slightly startled, then obediently came to the bed and sat down.
"You're awake, are you feeling better?"
Lu Yunyang stared straight at Jiang Jiu with his deep eyes, feeling mixed emotions. From the conversation just now, he knew that he had been through the gates of hell.
I thought he was a man who cherished his life, but I didn't expect him to be so selfless for the woman in front of him.
Even he was stunned.
"I almost died for you, shouldn't you give me something in return?"
If it was two hours ago, even asking Jiang Jiu to marry him would be acceptable.
But now, Jiang Jiuming knew the relationship between Lu Yunyang and the Ninth Prince. If she tried to interfere, it would become two plus one.
"I've decided that from now on, I'll give you half of the money I make. Oh, no, 60%. Is that ok?"
Okay, of course, but Lu Yunyang raised his thin lips, revealing an expression that seemed to be a smile.
"Is my life worth only this much..."
Huh? You think it's too little.
This was all Jiang Jiu could come up with. After thinking it over, she said, "How about giving 20% to Prince Qi? But the Ninth Prince is a royal relative after all, and he may not be interested in my money..."
Lu Yunyang was confused: "What does he have to do with us?"
Jiang Jiu suddenly felt a little sad and raised his hand to hold Lu Yunyang's slender and bony hand.
"Don't say anything, I understand... You, you have it so hard... In order to cover up... you pretend to be a playboy who lingers among the flowers..."
Lu Yunyang's family is not short of money, but since he became the companion of the Ninth Prince, he can only rely on his dandy personality to cover for the Ninth Prince. Although he seems to be unruly and unrestrained, he is actually very considerate at heart.
Jiang Jiu's words were very obscure, but Lu Yunyang broke out in a cold sweat and held her hand tightly with his backhand.
"You, you know everything?"
Jiang Jiu frowned and nodded: "No one can influence matters like love. Don't blame yourself. This is not your fault. Don't worry, I'm here for you in the future. I will definitely help you..."
Lu Yunyang and the Ninth Prince are both men. In modern times, this would not be surprising. Although they might not understand, they would definitely be respected and even blessed.
However, people in ancient times were not very open-minded. Although wealthy families had handsome boys such as servants, these relationships were mostly kept secret.
Especially since Lu Yunyang was still the passive party, even if the Ninth Prince was not favored, he was still a royal relative. Dealing with businessmen like the Lu family was as easy as crushing an ant.
Lu Yunyang was willing to sacrifice himself for the Lu family, which shows that he is loyal and righteous.
Who knew that the Lu family abandoned him again. Jiang Jiu felt that since he knew the truth and Lu Yunyang risked his life to save him, he must repay them.
Being his wife, covering for him and providing him with financial support from time to time were the only things she could do at the moment.
Although Lu Yunyang was confused by what he heard, Jiang Jiu's true feelings were not fake. He was delighted and asked, "Then you don't want to divorce?"
Jiang Jiu nodded sincerely: "No, we won't get divorced. At worst, I'll support you in the future..."
As long as he can protect the Ninth Prince's relationship for him, he can secretly use the Ninth Prince to build a market in Su City.
These were probably the most comforting words Lu Yunyang had heard in many days.
"Then I feel relieved, Xiaojiu. We will definitely make a lot of money as a couple in the future."
Jiang Jiu also nodded, stood up and took off the soft pillow behind Lu Yunyang.
"My dear, it's getting late. You are weak, so you should go to bed early."
Suddenly, Lu Yunyang grabbed Jiang Jiu's arm.
"What did you call me just now?"
Jiang Jiu: "Husband, since we are not getting divorced, we are just a legitimate couple. Between husband and wife, I call you husband and you call me wife, isn't that right..."
Since we have to cover it up, we should start by calling it by its title...
Lu Yunyang raised his lips and said, "It's like this... Shout again and let me hear it..."
"Husband, would you like some water? I'll pour it for you." Jiang Jiu behaved politely and virtuously.
Lu Yunyang also felt indescribably comfortable after listening to it, as if he had drunk a glass of warm wine on a cold day and felt warm from the inside out.
"good……"
Ever since Lu Yunyang and Jiang Jiu got married, Jiang Jiu has been like a hedgehog, with his quills raised all day long, making it impossible for Lu Yunyang to get close to him.
Now his attitude has suddenly changed. Jiang Jiu is gentle and considerate, which is a feeling he has never experienced before.
After blowing out the lights, Jiang Jiu slept beside Lu Yunyang in her clothes so that she could take care of him more conveniently. Smelling her faint fragrance and her long, soft breathing, Lu Yunyang felt a sense of peace in his heart that he had never felt before.
I accidentally touched Jiang Jiu's wrist, which was tied with a medical towel.
Yes, he was poisoned today and needed a blood transfusion. I heard that she was the first one to cut her wrist to donate blood for him.
Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise, and his heart was filled with sweetness.
Even the wound doesn't hurt anymore.
For seven or eight days, Lu Yunyang lived in the Ninth Prince's Mansion, and Jiang Jiu and the servants in the Ninth Prince's Mansion took good care of him.
The most important thing is that Jiang Jiu is actually very sensible. As soon as she sees the Ninth Prince coming, she will leave tactfully.
He also called Aunt Qian away so that they could talk in private.
That day, as soon as Jiang Jiu came out of Prince Qi's Mansion, he saw people on the street running towards one place to watch the excitement.
"Hurry up and go see what's going on. There's going to be a beheading at Caishikou."
In ancient times, in order to scare criminals away, such activities as touching the criminals would be held at noon in crowded places.
Jiang Jiu had never seen a real murder, so he went there with Nanny Qian out of curiosity.
After finally squeezing to the front, Jiang Jiu recognized the assassin who kidnapped her and killed the Ninth Prince.
"It's only been a few days. How come they caught him so quickly?"
Aunt Qian clicked her tongue twice. "I heard that they were sent by the Queen. Although the Emperor and the Ninth Prince are brothers, the Emperor has always been in poor health and has difficulty in having children. I heard that the Emperor intends to pass the throne to his younger brother, so the Queen naturally disagrees and simply sends assassins to kill the Ninth Prince."
The palace fighting is so cruel. Jiang Jiu loved watching palace fighting dramas in modern times, but now it has come to reality and there are indeed bloody lives lost.
"It's really not easy for the Ninth Prince."
Aunt Qian continued, "I heard that when the Ninth Prince was born, nine dragons circled in the sky above the palace. They said he was the true Dragon Prince."
"It's a pity that the previous emperor died early and the Ninth Prince is still young and sickly. Otherwise, if he had waited a few more years, the throne would have been his."
At that time, Nanny Qian was still in the capital, so she naturally heard a lot about the royal secrets.
The Ninth Prince's mother was just a little palace maid who died in childbirth. When the late emperor passed away, the Ninth Prince was only six or seven years old. He was too young to understand anything. Even if he was favored by the late emperor, he had no power or authority to compete for the throne.
Fortunately, the emperor was kind and sympathetic to the Ninth Prince's frailty, so he allowed him to recuperate in his own fiefdom, where he stayed for fifteen years.
During the past fifteen years, it was rumored that the Ninth Prince had been seeking medical treatment everywhere, and several times he was told that he was about to die, so he never went to the capital again.
Even when he was alive, he was still envied by people in the capital.
Jiang Jiu felt that the Ninth Prince was quite pitiful.
In the Ninth Prince’s Palace.
Lu Yunyang's face did not look very good, it was gloomy, as if a tornado was going to hit at any time.
"It's only been a short time, and there are spies from the capital in the palace. How do you manage them? Lu Ming, kill them all. I want to see who has such a long hand."
