Not following the expected path? Reborn and unexpectedly married to a demon.
Chapter 8 Picking up a man on a rainy night
Chu Songyuan did not stop him; he was also gambling.
Wang Youshi calmly laughed, "I've seen more scoundrels using this trick than you've eaten meals."
Chu Yinmei shouted for a long time, but apart from the people who were already there and had watched the whole thing, not a single other person dared to come over.
"Give the order to cut off all of Chu Songyuan's grain supply channels. Anyone who dares to supply grain to his family is going against me, Wang Youshi."
Chu Songyuan never expected it to be so serious, and was so frightened that he knelt down and begged Wang Youshi.
"Master, please don't do this. She's mentally ill and always talks nonsense."
Wang Youshi gave him a disdainful look. "It's the father's fault for not raising his child properly. Don't think I can't see through your thoughts."
Chu Luo was not pleased to see Chu Yinmei's tantrums and the disaster that nearly destroyed the Chu family.
After all, she is not married yet. If the Chu family runs into trouble and runs out of money now, her dowry will be in trouble.
She and her mother will become their punching bags, and they won't have a good time.
Chu Luo tried to salvage the situation, saying, "Boss Wang, tonight's events were all caused by me. May I ask you for a favor?"
"Of course, just tell me what you want."
Wang Youshi felt relieved after dealing with the person. This action was not only out of disapproval, but also to vent his anger for Yinshan, so naturally the person involved had to be happy.
"We beg Mr. Wang to show leniency and lessen Mr. Chu's punishment."
Upon hearing Yinshan speak up for him, Chu Songyuan was immediately filled with gratitude.
Wang Youshi asked, puzzled, "Why?"
"I think Miss Chu really is mentally ill. Even if Mr. Chu is a businessman, he can't control himself. Perhaps it's because his wife has neglected to raise him properly. Mr. Chu is also somewhat innocent."
Chu Luo wanted to save the Chu family business, but she had no intention of letting Chu Yinmei go.
Chu Yinmei is prone to madness, so let her become a madwoman in Jiangzhou.
Chu Songyuan immediately seized the opportunity to back down, confirming that she was indeed crazy.
"Young Master Yinshan is right, she really is ill. The people in the manor didn't keep a close eye on her today, which is why she escaped. Please forgive her, Master Qiushi."
Wang Youshi didn't care whether she was truly insane or just throwing a tantrum; he only cared about Yinshan, so he relented.
“Since Young Master Yinshan has pleaded for you, I will reduce the punishment for the Chu family and reduce the amount of goods supplied to them by 30%.”
Chu Songyuan was moved to tears and bowed in the direction of Yinshan Mountain.
He didn't see Yinshan take a step to the side and didn't accept his greeting.
"Thank you, Boss Wang," Yinshan said, bowing with his hands clasped in gratitude.
Having been forgiven, Chu Songyuan quickly pulled Chu Yinmei home, not daring to let her cause any more trouble.
Mu Jintang smiled as she looked at Yinshan, her admiration for him growing stronger. It was truly rare for someone so young to possess such a temperament.
"Young Master Yinshan, someone outside is looking for you. They say it's urgent."
Chu Luo looked out the door and saw the familiar chubby boy; he had arrived just in time.
These three people have extraordinary backgrounds. The one with the least influence, Wang Youshi, can make famous merchants in Jiangzhou so fearful with just a stomp of his foot.
Chu Luo dared not make any further contact and decided to wait and see.
Seeing that he was in a hurry, the three of them didn't try to persuade him to stay.
She hurriedly said goodbye to Mu Jintang and the other two before leaving with Xiao Pang.
"Little Fatty, what's up?"
Little Fatty's mother was a small vendor outside the Chu family's gate. Sometimes she would run errands for Xiao An in the Chu household, and Chu Luo never mistreated her.
"Young master, Brother Xiao An asked me to tell you that Master Chu is furious at home and wants everyone to go to the ancestral hall. Please help me tell the second young lady to go back quickly."
Okay, I'll let her know.
Chu Luo gave some silver to Little Fatty and then hurried home.
Xiao An was someone Chu Luo could use in the Chu household. He didn't know Chu Luo's identity outside, but Chu Luo had told him that she was on good terms with Yin Shan.
If you can't find her in the manor, come to Qinglou to find Yinshan.
Upon arriving at the backyard, Chu Luo hid in the abandoned courtyard of the Chu family and was about to remove her disguise.
Hearing the words of the maid passing by the courtyard, that the First Madam did not want her to go to the ancestral hall with her mother, Chu Songyuan agreed.
Chu Luo naturally knew why.
Chu Yinmei made a big mistake, and her father wanted to punish her, but the First Madam refused to let them laugh at her.
Chu Luo was no longer in a hurry and went through the secret passage she had dug to another abandoned courtyard.
Upon exiting the secret passage, they discovered it was raining heavily.
The torrential rain can cover up many traces and keep out a lot of danger and disturbance.
Chu Luo's tense mood immediately relaxed.
She took out a polished key from her bosom, skillfully opened the rusty courtyard gate, closed it, and easily stepped into the inner courtyard.
After carefully hiding the gold, Chu Luo sat down against the wall.
Enjoy listening to the sound of rain hitting the roof.
"boom"
A muffled thud disrupted her thoughts; it sounded like a heavy object falling to the ground.
The sudden sound startled Chu Luo.
This place is almost deserted and no one would notice it; apart from her, no one has come here for a long time.
Chu Luo took out a handkerchief from her bosom and covered her face.
He carefully picked up an iron rod and tiptoed to the porch.
The large dark shadow under the courtyard wall gradually became clearer; it turned out to be a person.
Amidst the flashes of lightning and thunder, Chu Luo, using the light, could make out that it was a tall, masked man dressed in black.
Such attire suggests he's a thief.
Thinking of the gold and silver hidden in the house, Chu Luo gripped the iron rod tightly and slowly approached.
If he dares to make a move, she'll smack him with a stick.
But she noticed that the man in black didn't move after he fell.
She wondered if the wall was slippery because of the rain and the thief had made a mistake.
Chu Luo used the stick to investigate from a distance.
The person in front of me is unconscious; they must be injured.
I don't know if he hit his head.
"A head injury can have serious consequences, ranging from dizziness and discomfort to amnesia and dementia, and in the worst case, even death."
Chu Luo stood on the edge of whether to save her or not, muttering to herself.
"Alright, although you are a thief, your crime doesn't warrant death. Human life is precious, so I'll save your life."
Chu Luo put the stick aside and checked his breathing through the veil.
She reached out and touched his neck again; his heart had stopped beating.
Chu Luo's hands were cold and her heart was racing. It took her a while to vaguely feel a faint heartbeat again.
She breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thankfully, he's not dead yet; we can still save him."
Chu Luo used all her strength to drag him to the corridor.
At least there's shelter from the rain there, and you can light a candle so it's not pitch black.
The man in black was over eight feet tall, and the heavy rain soaked his clothes, revealing his physique.
Although he is rather thin, he has a great physique.
"With a figure like yours, you could easily become a male prostitute at the Xianggu brothel in Xiaojia Lane; many ladies and women would be interested."
"If you don't want to sell yourself, even working as a hostess and entertaining customer at Lantai Xiaoyuanqiao is safer than being a thief."
Chu Luo thought for a moment, "Could it be that he is extremely ugly?"
Although Jin Wuchen was seriously injured and temporarily unable to move, he was still conscious.
Every word this man uttered made him want to kill.
Chu Luo was curious about his appearance, but the man was extremely well-covered.
She thought about it for a while, but ultimately decided not to remove the man's mask.
She pulled him forcefully towards the corridor.
She realized a truth: being thin doesn't affect one's weight.
She dragged him into the corridor, which took her half an incense stick's time.
After lighting a small candle, Chu Luo noticed a lot of blood on the floor.
She discovered that the person's wounds were not only on the head, but also on the abdomen.
Looking at the bleeding on his body, I noticed that his clothes had been ripped open by a sharp weapon, and the wounds were extremely deep.
The blood from the wound on his abdomen flowed like a trickle of spring water, never ceasing.
Chu Luo judged that this was the reason why his breath was getting weaker and weaker.
"What kind of family did they steal from to get injured like this?"
But no matter who he is, if the bleeding doesn't stop, he won't live much longer.
Chu Luo needed to apply medicine and take care of him, but it wasn't convenient to do so in the corridor.
They had no choice but to drag him back inside.
Jin Wuchen was dragged into the room again.
After entering the house, Chu Luo quickly took out the things she had hidden there.
They deftly cut open the clothes covering the man in black's wound.
She quickly and efficiently cleaned his wound.
She then applied her special hemostatic medicine.
The miracle drug was a hemostatic agent that she concocted based on her memory.
The medicinal powder ingredients were not easy to obtain, and she put a lot of effort into making just one bottle.
Therefore, she has always been reluctant to use it.
She poured the medicine powder into the wound little by little, trying to save as much as possible.
But his wound was too deep, and being stingy with the medicine powder wouldn't have a very good effect.
She initially considered giving up, but she couldn't abandon the effort halfway through.
In order to completely stop the bleeding, Chu Luo gritted her teeth and poured most of the bottle on him, which finally helped to stop the bleeding.
"This medicine of mine is a treasure; it could fetch a lot of money if sold. You're getting a bargain."
Even though she knew he couldn't hear her, Chu Luo still couldn't help but want to speak.
The presence of some noise in the room made the otherwise completely silent room feel less uncomfortable.
