It turned out that this was Lu Yunyang. He was indeed handsome and was not inferior even to modern male stars.

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

"Yunyang, from today on, you will be setting up your own business. 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 Chenshi.

"Mother, give me one hundred taels."

Lu Chen took a look at the money box. There were only thirty taels of silver left in it. She had the silver to give him.

Master Lu finally realized his son's absurdity and slammed the table, shouting in shock, "Asshole."

"Don't you even consider what day it is? You're actually 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 fixed his gaze on Jiang Jiu.

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

Lu Yunyang's gaze was frank and straightforward, making Jiang Jiu feel uncomfortable.

"When I married a wife, I married the wrong one. My cousin went to the Chang family."

She came to the Lu family.

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

Jiang Jiu ignored Lu Yunyang and felt a sense of 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. However, you must first return the 3,000 taels of betrothal gift from the Lu family. I will divorce you immediately."

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

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

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

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

What Lu Yunyang meant was not that the Lu family had accepted the wrong bride, but that the Jiang family had deliberately switched the bride.

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

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

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

"Why? How can you ask the lady for money right after entering the house?"

"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 give me a hundred taels first."

After saying that, 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'll add a sum to it. When you pay me back the three thousand taels of silver, you will no longer be my wife, Lu Yunyang."

It was actually possible like this. Jiang Jiu gritted her teeth and met Lu Yunyang's cunning gaze with her clear eyes.

After a total calculation, Jiang Liushi 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 would not give it to Lu Yunyang for no reason.

Besides, why should she pay for Jiang Mingyue's willfulness?

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

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

Mr. Lu Liu also quickly scolded his son: "That's right, if this gets out that our Lu family has 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 continued, "If I can increase your current assets by three thousand taels, will you be willing to divorce me?"

An increase of 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 with eyes that gradually turned cold. He suddenly glanced at the concubines who had been standing by and watching the fun, and an idea came to his mind.

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

"We don't have money, but we have people. Since the family can't afford to support so many people, we might as well sell them off."

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

"You spent two hundred taels to redeem it from Hua Man Lou. Now it's only a hundred taels. It should be okay, right?"

"If that doesn't work, there are still the next few people...we'll always be able to make up the number."

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

"No, how can you sell them?"

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

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

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, there's nothing I can do. Why don't you take a look around and see if there's anything you can sell at home?"

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

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

Mrs. Lu Chen also reacted and pulled Mr. Lu Liu to her side, "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 mess, she was overjoyed.

"Look, I told you, our Yunyang is handsome. You will definitely like him the moment you see him. In that case, I will go back. If there is anything that Yun'er, your wife, does not understand, please come to the main house to find me."

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

Jiang Jiu understood what she meant. She was busy, so don't look for her. If you have any problems, 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 that after the family split up, his family had no money left. The finances were managed by the new bride Jiang Jiu, so it would be difficult to ask for money from her.

But Lu Yunyang really needs ginseng to save his life.

At this time, he looked at Peony beside him.

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

In the end, it was Mudan who collected one hundred taels from her own private savings for Lu Yunyang.

"Peony, you are still the best." Lu Yunyang made a heartfelt confession and left without looking back.

Mudan's family fortune was drained, and she was in tears. As a concubine... it would be better for her to be 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 pang of regret in her heart.

You said you would pay your respects to the hostess tomorrow, why is she rushing here today?
