Chapter 7: Not Even Giving Me One Hundred Taels

It turns out that this is Lu Yunyang. He is really good-looking and is not inferior even to modern male stars.

Madam Lu smiled slightly, pulled Lu Yunyang's hand off her arm, and comforted him softly.

"Yunyang, from today on, you will be able to support yourself. If you need money again, don't ask me, just ask your parents."

Lu Yunyang was slightly startled, then turned around quickly and extended his hand towards Lu Chen.

"Mother, give me one hundred taels."

Mrs. Lu Chen took a look at the money box and saw only thirty taels of silver left in it. She had some silver to give to him.

Only to hear Master Lu Liu finally realize his son's absurdity, slamming the table and shouting in shock: "Nonsense."

"Don't you see what day it is? You're going to a brothel to look for that girl. Your wife is right here. By doing this, you've brought shame upon our Lu family."

After being yelled at by his father, Lu Yunyang finally fixed his eyes on Jiang Jiu.

After looking at her carefully for a long time, he finally said, "You are not Jiang Mingyue?"

Lu Yunyang's gaze was frank and straightforward, and it made Jiang Jiu feel very uncomfortable.

"When I married a daughter-in-law, I married the wrong one. My cousin went to the Chang family."

She came to Lu's house.

Lu Yunyang looked at Jiang Jiu carefully for a long time and said nonchalantly: "It's okay if I married the wrong person. Anyway, the one we are marrying is County Magistrate Jiang. As long as he recognizes her as such a relative, I don't care."

Jiang Jiu ignored Lu Yunyang and felt an inexplicable anger in his heart.

"You don't care? I can't. I want to divorce you."

"Divorce?" Lu Yunyang looked Jiang Jiu up and down, "Okay, divorce then, but you have to return the three thousand taels of betrothal gift from the Lu family first, and then I'll divorce you immediately."

Jiang Jiu's heart suddenly sank. How could she have forgotten about this?

A hint of sarcasm flashed across Lu Yunyang's peach blossom eyes.

"The Lu family married the wrong person. Logically speaking, even if the person is wrong, the dowry should not be wrong. Or maybe County Magistrate Jiang didn't want to marry his daughter to me in the first place..."

Jiang Jiu's eyes flickered. Indeed, she had overlooked the most important point: the betrothal gift had to be returned when divorcing.

And what Lu Yunyang meant by this was not that the Lu family had made a wrong marriage, but that the Jiang family had deliberately switched the marriage.

I have to say that although Lu Yunyang is a dandy, he is still quite smart.

"Either you divorce me and return the betrothal gift, or you give me one hundred taels of silver, and you will be my wife from now on."

Jiang Jiu couldn't catch his breath and was almost choked to death by him.

"Why? How can you ask the lady for money as soon as you get married?"

"I don't want to be your wife. When I can collect three thousand taels of silver, I will divorce you."

Lu Yunyang smiled nonchalantly: "Okay, then you give me a hundred taels first."

After saying this, Lu Yunyang grabbed a pen and paper and wrote a divorce letter. But when it came time to sign, he only wrote one stroke.

"You want a divorce, don't you? Keep this divorce letter. Every time I ask you for money, I will add a sum to it. When you pay back the three thousand taels of silver, you will no longer be my wife, Lu Yunyang."

It is actually possible to do this. Jiang Jiu gritted her teeth and met Lu Yunyang's cunning eyes with her clear eyes.

Jiang Liu was very careful and only gave Jiang Jiu fifty taels of silver and fifty taels of property.

Three thousand taels is not a small amount. Not to mention that Jiang Jiu doesn't have it, even if he did, he wouldn't give it to Lu Yunyang for no reason.

Besides, what right did she have to pay for Jiang Mingyue's willfulness?

Jiang Jiu came to Lu Chen, picked up the account book, glanced at it, and took a deep breath.

"Don't even think about my dowry. It belongs to me."

Master Lu Liu also quickly stood aside and angrily rebuked his son: "That's right, if this gets out, our Lu family will have to use the daughter-in-law's dowry to support the family. Where will we put our old face?"

Lu Yunyang raised his eyebrows: "I don't care, I want the money now."

Jiang Jiu then said, "If I can increase your current business by three thousand taels, will you be willing to divorce me?"

Increase by three thousand taels? Lu Yunyang narrowed his eyes slightly and agreed.

"Okay, I agree."

"But now I still want one hundred taels."

Jiang Jiu stared at Lu Yunyang's eyes and gradually turned cold. He glanced at him suddenly and stood aside to watch the hot

The concubines who were making trouble had an idea in their mind.

He snorted coldly and took out several indentures from the box given by Mrs. Lu.

"I don't have money, but I have people. Since my family can't afford to support so many people, I might as well sell it."

Jiang Jiu took Mudan's indenture contract and waved it in front of Lu Yunyang: "Your favorite concubine is called Mudan, right? Look at her figure and appearance...tsk tsk..."

"You spent 200 taels to redeem it from Hua Man Lou. Now you only sell it for 100 taels. It should be ok, right?"

"If that doesn't work, there are still the next few... we'll always have enough."

Lu Yunyang's face turned ashen with anger because Jiang Jiu was going to sell out his beloved concubine.

"No, how can you sell them?"

Jiang Jiu snorted coldly, and his cold eyes met Lu Yunyang's.

"According to the laws of the Kingdom of Li, the wife has the right to sell the maids and concubines in the house."

Lu Yunyang naturally knew that the position of the legal wife was unbreakable, and he glared at her with his peach blossom eyes.

"They are my people. If I say they can't be sold, then they can't be sold."

Jiang Jiu spread his hands and said, "These are the only solutions I can think of. If you don't want to, I can't do anything about it. Why don't you look around and see if there's anything you can sell at home?"

Lu Yunyang looked at Master Lu Liu, and Master Lu Liu's heart skipped a beat. He still had some treasures in his warehouse, and he couldn't let them be squandered by this prodigal son.

"Ouch, ouch, my head hurts so much, no no, I need to go to rest."

Mrs. Lu Chen also reacted and grabbed Master Lu Liu and said, "Master, you've been tired all day. I'm tired too. My old waist can't take it anymore. Go to bed quickly."

Mr. Lu Liu and his wife escaped.

When Mrs. Lu saw that someone had finally taken over this shabby stall, she was overjoyed.

"See, I told you, our Yunyang is handsome, you will definitely like him the first time you see him. In this case, I will go back. If Yun'er, the daughter-in-law, has anything you don't understand, you can come to the main room to find me."

"No matter how busy I am, there are still Madam Geng and Butler Fu. Just go find them."

Jiang Jiu understood what she meant. She was busy, so don't look for her. If you have any questions, look for the housekeeper.

In an instant, everyone in the room left, leaving only Jiang Jiu and Lu Yunyang's concubines confronting each other.

Lu Yunyang understood clearly that after the family division, his family was left with no money. Zhongfu was managed by his new bride Jiang Jiu, so it would be difficult to ask her for money.

But Lu Yunyang really needs ginseng to save his life.

At this moment, he looked at Peony beside him.

Mudan was such a smart person that she could tell what Lu Yunyang meant at a glance. She could only sigh and say, "I have some money. I'll go get it for you, young master."

In the end, it was Mudan who took out one hundred taels from her own pocket and gave it to Lu Yunyang.

"Mudan, you are still the best." Lu Yunyang just finished his affectionate confession and left without looking back.

Mudan's family fortune was drained out, and she was in tears. As a concubine... it would be better if she were sold. You have to know that the one hundred taels were used to save another woman.

Mudan looked at the bride Jiang Jiu again, only to see that she didn't care at all. She sat there as steady as a rock, drinking tea leisurely. She felt a little regretful.

You said everything was fine and you would greet the hostess tomorrow, why is she rushing here today?
