Chapter 118: Xia Qin
Early in the morning, Jiang Luo is woken up and puts on the clothes that the maids have already prepared, ready to go back to the house with Chi You.
When they reached the front door, they heard a succession of shrieks from the backyard. Jiang Luo turned his head to look, the boys and maids were rushing towards the backyard with hurried steps and pale faces.
Something seems to have happened.
The carriage stopped in front of the door, and the maid said with a smile, "Young Master Jiang, please come."
Jiang Luo turned back, bowed his head and got into the carriage.
The distance between the Jiang family and the Chi family was not far, and it did not take long for them to arrive at their destination. Chi You put down the book in his hand and got off the carriage with Jiang Luo. He looked at Jiang Luo's back, pondering.
On the way, Jiang Luo did not say a word. For the matter of going home, he really did not have any joy, and even vaguely rejected.
The Chi family is such a quagmire, but Jiang Luo can adapt well and be full of energy every day, is the Jiang family even more terrible than the Chi family?
It must be said that Chi You's seldom-seen curiosity has been completely aroused by Jiang Luo.
According to local wedding folklore, on the third day after the wedding, the bride should take her husband back to her mother's house so that her parents can see how her life is going after the wedding. But when the Chi family's boy went up to knock on the door, the Jiang family member who opened the door was sleepy-eyed, and when he saw Jiang Luo, he was still in a daze, stuttering, "Young, young master?"
It was as if Jiang Luo hadn't expected him to come back at all.
Soon the Jiang family knew that their young master had returned with the first son of the Chi family. The whole house was in an uproar.
Jiang Luo and Chi You were taken to the parlor, where a maid hurriedly brought freshly brewed tea. After swirling the tea leaves in the cups and bowls, Jiang Luo's father, Jiang Pingcheng, appeared in disheveled clothes.
Jiang Pingcheng smiled awkwardly as he rubbed his hands together, "Why did Young Master Chi think of bringing Jiang Luo to us today?"
Behind him, Jiang Luo's mother, Xiao Yan, walked in with a panicked look, and after seeing Jiang Luo, her tears burst into tears, and she choked on her handkerchief, "LuLu, you're back."
Jiang Pingcheng frowned at her and whispered, "The guests are here, why are you crying?"
"I am not too happy?" Xiao Yan cowering a bit, stifled his sobs, "It was not easy for Luolu to return to the door, I waited for three days to finally wait for him to return to the door, and I could not help it for a moment before ...... Luolu, quickly let mother take a look at you."
Jiang Pingcheng then remembered that his son and Chi family had been married for exactly three days.
But he forgot about it. Nothing was prepared at home.
Jiang Pingcheng The corner of his forehead left a cold sweat, he snorted and said: ''Yes, your mother has been waiting for today. But I'm afraid that you won't come back today, so that your mother will be happy, so I didn't make any preparations, otherwise it would have been hard not to wait for someone. We've never had a man's wife marry before, so your mother and I can't make up our minds, can we? Who knows if the Chi family will let you and Young Master Chi come back."
Jiang Luo listened and suddenly laughed a little. He didn't say anything, and leisurely picked up the water and took a sip, leaving Jiang Pingcheng to dry where he was. Jiang Pingcheng had no one to pass him the steps, and stood there stiffly, unable to get off the stage at all.
He glared at Jiang Luo in secret annoyance, if Chi You wasn't still here, he would have already gotten his hands on this increasingly bold brat.
Chi You said slowly, "Father-in-law really cares about Lok Lok."
Jiang Luo spat out the tea with a "pfft".
What kind of name drop is that.
He was so embarrassed that his scalp went numb, Chi You thoughtfully handed him a handkerchief, the concern on his face was genuine, "Be careful, quickly wipe the water."
Jiang Luo took the handkerchief and wiped it over his lips, while Yu Guang strangely crossed Chi You's face. Chi You turned his head back, and on the side of his face, the corner of his lips slightly curved up in a subtle arc.
Jiang Luo eyes narrowed, huh, this guy deliberately.
Jiang Pingcheng thought that Chi You's words sounded a bit strange, but there was nothing strange about Chi You's tone or demeanor. He put this strangeness behind him and started to talk to Chi You.
Xiao Yan walked to Jiang Luo's side, she looked at Jiang Luo carefully, her eyes burned, before she cried she remembered her husband's words, she hastily held back, and held Jiang Luo gently in her arms, ''LuLu, it's all because I'm useless, and I couldn't get your father to dismiss the idea of marrying you off to the Chi family. It's all my fault that I couldn't get your father to back off from marrying you off to the Chi family. From now on, you can't lose your temper at will, but treat young master Chi well, do whatever he says, and be obedient, and you'll have a better life."
Jiang Luo pushed her away, "So have you had a better day?"
Xiao Yan froze, and Jiang Luo laughed, muttering to himself, "Forget it, there's no need to say anything, of course you think this is a good life."
Jiang Pingcheng also complained to Chi You about the expenses of the mansion being like running water, hinting that he wanted to ask for money.
Chi You said good-naturedly, "We are returning home today and have brought a carriage full of gifts. If father-in-law is free, bring someone to bring the things in."
Jiang Pingcheng was overjoyed, and after a few more words with Chi You, he hurried out of the parlor.
Xiao Yan looked at his back and hesitated for a long time before following after him.
Jiang Luo and Chi You were the only two people left in the parlor for a while.
"Someone else comes as a guest, only for the host family themselves to leave leaving their guest behind," Jiang Luo snorted and turned his head to Chi You, "That's the fine tradition of the Jiang family, I'm sorry to make you laugh."
Chi You smiled, "Why don't you show me around the Jiang family as well?"
Jiang Luo got up and said, "Come on."
In fact, Jiang Luo has never come to this Jiang family in the mirror world.
He took Chi You for a walk and was looking at the environment of the Jiang family himself. Nay, there was nothing to see, the Jiang family was not like the Chi family, even in Jiang Luo's world, his father was rich, but only to the extent that he could afford a nanny.
There's no comparison to the six greats of the metaphysical world like the Chi family.
Although the world of metaphysics was small, it could be described as a wealth-gathering cave. The Heavenly Master's Mansion alone, the honorarium for a single mission was an exaggerated figure. Even the bonuses that the students of Birch University received after completing the tasks assigned by the state were also extremely substantial. Jiang Luo's one talisman was sold for hundreds of thousands of dollars and there were people who rushed to buy it. Ever since he gave the director of Next Stop, Idol a life-preserving talisman for free, the chief director introduced Jiang Luo to everyone and Jiang Luo's talisman was really useful, which made his reputation spread widely in the dark and his talisman became so hot that it had a price that could not be found in the market.
After seeing a lot of money, money is really nothing. Jiang Pingcheng, who used to be like a shadow in my memory, now seems ridiculous.
Jiang Luo took Chi You all the way to his "own" place.
When we passed by Jiang Pingcheng's residence, the door to his room was not closed, and there were sounds of conversations coming from it.
Jiang Pingcheng said curtly, "Xia Qin, look, this is the best piece of cloth sent by the Chi family, this color more than matches you, I saw it and sent it over to you."
The woman said, "Thank you, Master."
Jiang Luo's footsteps lurched, and in the next instant he changed direction and walked towards Jiang Pingcheng's house.
Chi You followed him silently.
The door was left open, leaving a two-finger gap, Jiang Luo stood in front of the door and looked through the gap into the door.
Jiang Pingcheng is standing at the table with his back to Jiang Luo, holding a cloth on the table and bragging about it, and across from him, sitting directly in front of Jiang Luo, is a young and beautiful woman with a faint smile.
She also saw Jiang Luo.
Jiang Luo did not hide and did not avoid, and the woman and Jiang Pingcheng across Jiang Pingcheng stare at each other.
The woman suddenly evoked a smile as she gently got up and walked over to Jiang Pingcheng's body, reaching out to unbutton the cheongsam coils she was wearing, and dropped a pleasantly scented kiss on Jiang Pingcheng's face, "Master, let me serve serve serve you."
Jiang Pingcheng was very heartfelt, but somewhat hesitant, "Chi family young master is still in the parlor ......"
The woman's eyes looked at Jiang Luo, her fingers sliding lovingly down Jiang Pingcheng's face, "Then leave it to the Lady."
Her eyes looked like they contained flirtatious affection, and her face looked like it was glowing. The woman's cheongsam fell apart, her snow-white breasts vaguely exposed from the surly crimson cheongsam.
Jiang Pingcheng said with fascination and excitement, "My little heart, why are you so active today?"
Xia Qin looked straight at the expressionless young master standing outside the door, she and Jiang Luo were obviously not far from each other, but the distance in an instant seemed to have lengthened to the extreme, and between the trance and the return of attention, it seemed to be as close as only one step.
She moved to kiss Jiang Pingcheng's eyes, gasping and purring out deliberately.
"Your Lordship ......"
This scene is slowly overlapping with the one Jiang Luo remembers.
He was just fifteen that year, stepping home from school in the bright golden sunshine of the early afternoon.
Inside the unlit home, which was grayed out all the way from the foyer to the hallway, Jiang Luo passed his father's door, and from inside he heard a man's heavy panting and a woman's sweet cries.
The precocious Jiang Luo knew what that meant. He tried to avert his eyes without a ripple, but realized that the door had not been closed tightly, and had been deliberately left open enough to see inside.
Jiang Luo looked up and met Xia Qin, who was lying on his father's bed.
Sweat slid down Xia Qin's face as he watched, she looked at Jiang Luo, her eyes unmoving as her beautiful body pressed harder against her father.
White thighs swayed over the edge of the bed, swinging enough to make a sickening bedlam sound.
Jiang Luo's pupils tightened at that moment.
Xia Qin, the nanny who had been with him for two years, who had protected him like a sister from countless of his father's brutal beatings, had cheated on him with his father, right under his nose, after the second woman besides his mother, whom he trusted and whom he thought was the best in the world, had done so.
......
Jiang Luo turned around and walked away.
Xia Qin looked at his figure that was gradually fading away to become a black dot, her eyes flashed, and lost in thought, she put her white and soft arm on Jiang Pingcheng's shoulder.
Jiang Pingcheng inhaled fiercely on her chest and said dully, "Xia Qin, what a day today. You have not only put on makeup, but you have also used incense to wear a new cheongsam. You are so beautiful today that I can't take my eyes off of you, Master."
Xia Qin withdrew her gaze and lowered her head, saying softly, "Does His Lordship like it?"
"Love it, I love it so much!"
"It's good that you like it," Xia Qin showed a smile as she softly and honeyedly said, "I'm happy when your lordship likes it."
