Jiang Bai looked at the invitation in front of him and smiled slightly.
Wang He came to me of his own accord. Last time, when Wang Xuan tried to harm Le'er, I only broke one of his legs. How could I let her get away with it so easily?
"Tell Boss Wang tonight at Chun Yue Lou, the usual place, to discuss business."
"Yes, sir, I'll take care of it right away."
At lunchtime, Jiang Bai told Zhao Yi about it, and Zhao Yi asked worriedly, "Are you going alone?"
Jiang Bai nodded: "She only wrote my name on the invitation."
"Bai'er, don't you know what Zhao Yi is thinking? How can I leave you alone?"
Jiang Bai patted the back of his hand: "Don't worry, I'll take good care of myself. You don't need to worry about anything else."
Zhao Yi was unaware that Jiang Bai possessed martial arts skills; in his eyes, Jiang Bai was merely a woman who was powerless to even kill a chicken.
"No, I'll go with you."
Zhao Yi's expression was firm. Jiang Bai felt a little helpless and whispered in his ear, "Actually, I know martial arts."
"You know martial arts?!" Zhao Yi asked in surprise.
He had been married to Jiang Bai for several years, but he had never known about this. He suddenly felt that there was still a lot he didn't know about his wife.
It should be said that from the moment he returned, he discovered that Jiang Bai was different from before, and that he had too many secrets.
However, it was precisely because she was different from other women that she attracted him so much.
"Of course, I taught Ping An how to use the spear. Also, last time I was at the General's Mansion, I was actually sparring with Lei Yun."
Jiang Bai recalled what had happened last time. She didn't tell Zhao Yi everything, just because she was worried that Zhao Yi would have too many concerns.
"I see." Zhao Yi looked at Jiang Bai, his eyes showing even more appreciation.
"If I'm not mistaken, you were the one who damaged Wang Xuan's leg."
Jiang Bai nodded: "That's right. His attempt to harm Le'er crossed my line, so I broke his leg. It was just a small punishment for him."
Remembering that Ping An and Le'er had both suffered at Wang Xuan's hands, she wished she could just get rid of him.
Zhao Yi sensed the murderous intent in Jiang Bai's eyes: "Alright, since that's the case, you can go alone. Be careful!"
"If there's anything, send someone to report it."
Don't worry.
Zhao Yi looked at her with a smile on his lips: "I wonder what else Bai'er I don't know. You have so many surprises in store for me."
"Then you'll have to find out for yourself." Jiang Bai shrugged.
That night, Chunyue Tower was still a bustling and prosperous place.
Women dressed in bright colors came and went on the waterside pavilion, and the air was filled with the scent of perfume.
Jiang Bai felt a little uncomfortable from the strong smell, frowned slightly, and quickened his pace.
The servant of the Wang family saw Jiang Bai from afar and came over to greet him: "Oh, Boss Jiang, you've finally arrived!"
Jiang Bai stood with his hands behind his back, glanced at her, and asked, "Where's your husband?"
"The master is waiting for you inside. I'll take you there right away."
The man led Jiang Bai through several corridors to a room. Normally, business discussions would take place in a nicer room, like the room in the southeast corner where he had discussed business with Zhao Yi last time.
However, this person led Jiang Bai for quite some time without arriving.
Jiang Bai narrowed his eyes slightly. Wang He was indeed very bold.
However, she was not flustered at all. Since Wang He had such thoughts, he had to bear the consequences.
After a while, Jiang Bai finally arrived at the door of Wang He's house.
Jiang Bai looked around. This was probably the most secluded room in Chun Yue Lou. Even the surrounding lights were dim, and there weren't many people coming and going.
The newcomer smiled and said, "Mr. Jiang, please come in."
Jiang Bai nodded slightly and went into the house.
Inside the room, a strong smell of alcohol mingled with an indescribable fragrance, and Jiang Bai immediately knew what was in that fragrance.
However, if others smelled this fragrance, they would definitely find it hard to resist. But she has a spiritual spring, so how could she be so easily bewitched by the incense?
She passed through the screen and saw Wang He sitting at the table.
Upon seeing Jiang Bai arrive, Wang He immediately stood up and said, "Boss Jiang, you've arrived!"
He immediately tried to help Jiang Bai up, but Jiang Bai subtly dodged him.
Wang He sized up Jiang Bai as he invited her to sit down.
He secretly gave a look to the servant beside him, and the man quickly withdrew.
However, when Wang He looked at Jiang Bai, he couldn't help but feel that Jiang Bai seemed completely unharmed.
Could it be that the incense didn't work?
"It's not easy to invite Mr. Jiang to have a meal with me," Wang He said, pouring wine for Jiang Bai.
Jiang Bai laughed and said, "Boss Wang, what are you saying? I really have important matters to attend to at home these days and have been unable to get away."
“I understand. Boss Jiang’s daughter is now a celebrity in the entire Great Chu. I heard that the Zhao family’s doorstep is being worn out by people.”
Jiang Bai chuckled: "Not at all, it's just that the child is sensible."
As Wang He spoke, he pushed the wine cup in front of Jiang Bai: "Mr. Jiang, have a drink."
Jiang Bai glanced at him; both of their gazes were deep and unfathomable, as if they both knew what the other was thinking.
Now there are only the two of them in the room. Jiang Bai is just a woman, and no matter how much she resists, there is nothing she can do.
Jiang Bai sneered inwardly. Not only could Wang He not get her drunk, but if Wang He made any move, she would make sure he never dared to think about what happened tonight again.
However, Jiang Bai wanted to take a better approach: to cast a long line and catch a big fish.
Jiang Bai picked up his wine cup, drank it all in one gulp, and then refilled Wang He's cup: "How can I drink alone? Boss Wang, drink too!"
When a beautiful woman offered him a toast, Wang He couldn't resist. Thinking that Jiang Bai would eventually be his, he smiled and took the wine from her hand: "Drink!"
The situation at the dinner table suddenly changed, with Jiang Bai taking the initiative and constantly pouring wine for Wang He.
Whenever Wang He looked at Jiang Bai, he would lose all control of himself and do whatever Jiang Bai said.
Seeing that his face was flushed and his mind was already in a daze, Jiang Bai asked, "Boss Wang, haven't you heard about the matter between Imperial Censor Wang and my Zhao family? You still dare to cooperate with my Zhao family?"
Wang He stared at Jiang Bai with glazed eyes, his gaze unrestrained and lecherous.
He tried to touch Jiang Bai's hand, but Jiang Bai dodged him.
"What I, Wang He, want to do is none of the dynasty's business."
Jiang Bai's lips curled into a sarcastic smile: "Oh? But I heard that Boss Wang was somewhat disheveled when he came out of the Imperial Censor Wang's residence that day."
"Hmph." At this point, Wang He suddenly became angry: "What is the dynasty? It's nothing but treacherous and ungrateful bastards."
"Don't worry, Mr. Jiang. If I, Wang He, want to cooperate with you, Mr. Jiang, then the dynasty can't interfere."
