Just when Lu Yunyang was about to put the banknotes away, Jiang Jiu came over like a gust of wind.

He snatched the banknote and stuffed it back into Xiao Yimo's arms.

"Don't let him get away with it. The Lu family has houses and land. I will find a way to return the betrothal gifts. This money cannot be used."

"Why?" Xiao Yimo was puzzled. "Jiang Jiu, you are not really interested in this dude, are you? Although he looks good, he actually can't do anything."

"No, don't guess blindly. You really don't need to worry about me. Go back, go back." Jiang Jiu wanted to drive Xiao Yimo out.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Yimo shook his head and said, "I'm not leaving. I'm here to discuss business today. I heard you were here, so I came to take you away."

Lu Yunyang was so angry that he jumped up and down: "What? You came to see her, didn't you come to apologize to me?"

Xiao Yimo sneered, "Why should I apologize to you? What else does your Lu family have besides money? Oh, right, now that you've been separated from the Lu family, I heard that even the money is gone."

Lu Yunyang was furious: "Jiang Jiu, you said you were innocent with him and he even redeemed you. What is your relationship with him? If you don't explain clearly today, I will force you to be drowned in the pond."

Xiao Yimo was so angry that he laughed: "I am not innocent with her? Lu Yunyang, go and ask carefully. County Magistrate Jiang is my uncle. She, Jiang Mingyue and I are cousins. We are not innocent, but you and Miss Nishang are not innocent."

Jiang Jiu's face also darkened, and Mudan also thought that Lu Yunyang was making a fuss.

"Sir, you'd better come back with us, otherwise it will be hard to say what will happen when you go back to see Lord Jiang tomorrow."

Xiao Yimo whispered to Jiang Jiu, "Do you know who the owner of Hua Man Lou is? It's Nishang?"

Nichang's lover was Lu Yunyang. For a while, it was unclear whether Lu Yunyang raised Nichang, or Nichang raised Lu Yunyang.

Jiang Jiu raised his eyebrows and looked at Lu Yunyang with an increasingly strange look.

"This man is good-looking, which has advantages. He can eat gigolos everywhere."

Unexpectedly, Lu Yunyang heard the two of them chirping behind their backs.

Living off a gigolo? When did Lu Yunyang become a gigolo...

But he was so angry that he didn't know where to vent it.

In the tense atmosphere, Nichang came in with wine and food.

"Sir, Madam, Mr. Xiao, please enjoy your meal."

After a busy morning, Jiang Jiu was hungry, but as for having dinner at Huamanlou, Jiang Jiu still wanted to go out early.

Xiao Yimo sat down casually, poured a glass of wine for Jiang Jiu and started eating alone.

Here, Nichang and Lu Yunyang were talking in private.

"Sir, Master Xiao must not be offended. He just gave me several songs, and the style is very good, but he wants to collaborate with Hua Manlou. In my opinion, you should go back first."

"Mr. Xiao is, after all, a relative of Lord Jiang. Our Hua Man Lou has been losing money for half a year. There are only benefits and no disadvantages in cooperating with him."

Lu Yunyang really didn't know there was such a person as Xiao Yimo. After all, he was just a small gambling house owner, so he didn't know that he was actually a relative of County Magistrate Jiang.

Jiang Jiu will be returning home tomorrow, so it is really inappropriate for him to stay in Hua Manlou.

Since Ninth Brother is Xiao Yimo's boss, as long as I cooperate with Xiao Yimo, I will be able to meet Ninth Brother sooner or later.

Lu Yunyang suddenly stood up, walked forward and grabbed Jiang Jiu's arm.

"go home with me."

Jiang Jiu was slightly startled and actually asked, "Miss Nishang is still here, why did you go back?"

Lu Yunyang was so angry that he could hardly speak: "Mr. Xiao is here too, do you want to accompany him?"

After saying that, Lu Yunyang pulled Jiang Jiu away without saying anything.

"Madam, wait for me." Mudan watched the two of them walk a long way before she reacted and chased after them.

It’s unclear whether Jiang Jiu or Lu Yunyang came to catch the adulterer.

When Mudan came to the street, she turned her head and looked at the sign of Huamanlou, and then she was sure that she was accompanying her wife to find the young master to go home.

Now it doesn’t matter who goes back with whom, as long as everyone goes home.

Lu Yunyang strode forward in front, pulling Jiang Jiu to jog along, making Jiang Jiu breathless.

"I'm hungry and want to eat." Jiang Jiu suddenly shook off Lu Yunyang's hand and stopped panting.

Mudan was also chasing after him, panting.

"Master, you, you are walking too fast. I, I can't keep up with you."

Lu Yunyang walked quickly, thinking all the way. Although the matter of Ninth Brother had not been investigated, he always felt that something was wrong.

Since Xiao Yimo is a relative of County Magistrate Jiang, why is he still the shopkeeper for Ninth Brother? Can't he run his own business?

Besides, he had checked Xiao Yimo's background yesterday. He was just a poor scholar without any family background. How did he suddenly become Mrs. Jiang's nephew?

Who is this Ninth Brother?

He still had to continue investigating. His men were moving too slowly, which was driving him crazy.

Smelling the aroma of wine wafting from the tavern not far away, Lu Yunyang also felt hungry.

They walked into a pub, and the waiter warmly invited the three of them in.

"Mr. Lu, it's been a while since you've been here. What would you three like to eat?"

Lu Yunyang opened his mouth and listed several famous dishes: "Another pot of good wine, hurry up and serve."

He didn't ask Jiang Jiu, and Jiang Jiu didn't say anything. Mudan stood by and carefully served Jiang Jiu tea.

Jiang Jiu patted the stool: "No need to serve, I'm not used to it, sit down and eat together."

Mudan looked around and felt a little embarrassed: "This is against the rules."

Jiang Jiu glanced at Lu Yunyang and said, "When you're out and about, you don't need to be so particular. You've been tired after following me for a long time. Young Master is a man who cherishes women. Sit down and eat with us."

Lu Yunyang raised his eyebrows and looked Jiang Jiu up and down. Could it be that she bribed his concubine with these small favors?

"Just sit down when I tell you to. You're not being so shy. You weren't like this before."

Mudan was a little embarrassed: "In the past, there was no lady in the mansion, so naturally there weren't so many rules."

Before the waiter served the dishes, he first brought a pot of tea.

Mudan scalded the dishes and chopsticks in front of Jiang Jiu before starting to make tea.

Jiang Jiu was fascinated by Mudan's tea-making skills and blurted out, "Your tea-making skills are quite good. I'll definitely get twice the result with half the effort when I take you with me when I go to negotiate business."

Mudan smiled modestly. Lu Yunyang looked at the two of them and saw that they had developed a new vocabulary. He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. This woman was better at teasing other women than he was as a man.

The three of them sat by the window, and by chance, they were seen by Jiang Mingyue.

Jiang Mingyue accompanied Chang Zhili shopping and discussed the matter of housekeeping. Chang Zhili naturally agreed. The family was very poor. If she was not allowed to be the housekeeper, they would starve.

Jiang Mingyue was feeling happy, but when she looked up and saw Jiang Jiu and Lu Yunyang, she felt indescribable surprise.

In her previous life, Lu Yunyang also did not come back on her wedding night, making her a laughing stock in Xiang County. That night, she asked Old Madam Lu to make the decision and finally invited Lu Yunyang back from the brothel.

Unexpectedly, the next day, Lu Yunyang went to the brothel again and did not return all night.

Jiang Mingyue was at a loss. After making a fuss for a long time, she forced Mr. Lu to call for help. It turned out that Mr. Lu was living in the brothel with Lu Yunyang.

This also caused complaints from my mother-in-law.

As a result, she was late when she returned home on the third day.

But in this life, the Lu family was surprisingly peaceful, although she had just heard that Lu Yunyang's wife had gone to the brothel in person to look for someone.

I didn't expect that I would find the person.

Seeing them having dinner together, talking and laughing, could it be that Lu Yunyang has fallen in love with Jiang Jiu?
