742 Something Happened
“Xiaolu? Does it mean dew1? What a good name.”
Wang Jiang smiled.
Su Xiaolu smiled and nodded. “Yes.”
In any case, it was a fake name, so there was no need to worry about which character it was.
“Miss Xiaolu, come with me.”
Wang Jiang smiled at Su Xiaolu. He reached out and made an inviting gesture, looking gentle and elegant.
Su Xiaolu followed his footsteps and passed through the corridor. She saw a woman blocking the way. Wang Jiang turned to Su Xiaolu and said gently, “Miss Xiaolu, wait for me.”
Wang Jiang quickly stepped forward and said to the woman with a dark expression, “Don’t block here. I’ll visit you when I’m free.”
The woman smiled sarcastically. “Is that the new sister?”
“Yeah.”
Wang Jiang replied calmly. He had taken a fancy to Su Xiaolu’s appearance, but he still had to investigate her identity.
An orphaned daughter who was seeking refuge with her relatives was very easy to coax. He was rich now. As long as he liked her, he could take in any girl. If she was really an orphaned daughter, she would have a good life with him.
“Hehehehe… Wang Jiang, you are heartless. I’ve only been with you for a short time… How, how can you betray me—”
The woman looked at Wang Jiang aggrievedly and complained indignantly. He was the one who said that he loved her the most, but he was also the one who changed his mind.
Wang Jiang frowned and said in a low voice, “Ruyue, stop fooling around. If I didn’t redeem you, you would end up like those women. I didn’t treat you badly when you followed me. Look at the clothes you’re wearing and the food you eat. I still like you very much. It’s normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines. Be obedient, okay?”
He had redeemed Ruyue from the brothel. She played the lute well and looked pitiful. When he first fell in love with her, he naturally couldn’t help but say some romantic words. He didn’t treat her badly, but Ruyue’s current actions made him a little unhappy. Ruyue wasn’t mature enough.
“Is it normal to have three wives and four concubines? Hehehehe… I thought you were different from them, but I didn’t expect you to be the same. You’re all the same.”
Ruyue’s heart was throbbing. She was arrogant, but she did not expect that she would not be able to escape heartless men in the end.
Wang Jiang didn’t want to talk to Ruyue anymore. He gave her a look to tell her to be sensible and turned around to return to Su Xiaolu’s side. He smiled and said, “Miss Xiaolu, let’s go. It’s fine.”
Wang Jiang specially let Su Xiaolu walk on the right side, separating Ruyue from Su Xiaolu.
Ruyue didn’t say anything. She just looked at Wang Jiang and cried as he walked past.
Su Xiaolu looked back at Ruyue. Wang Jiang frowned and explained, “Miss Xiaolu, that’s my brother’s concubine. My brother passed away, so she treated me as my brother. Her brain is a little abnormal.”
Su Xiaolu looked confused. “I see.”
It was a clumsy act, but she was acting silly and sweet now, so she believed it.
Wang Jiang smiled and nodded. “Yes, that’s right. So when you see her in the future, just stay away from her.”
“Yes, okay. Young Master Wang, thank you. You’re really a good person.”
Su Xiaolu smiled at Wang Jiang.
Wang Jiang was infatuated. The girl’s smile was as bright as a flower, and her eyes were as dazzling as the stars, making him burst with joy.
Wang Jiang brought Su Xiaolu to a courtyard. There was a bamboo forest planted in the courtyard called the Bamboo Garden. It was especially elegant and beautiful.
Su Xiaolu praised at the right time, “Wow, it’s so beautiful. I’ve never lived in such a beautiful place. Will I be disturbing you too much? Young Master Wang, you’re so good to me. I don’t know how to repay you.”
Wang Jiang was overjoyed. He waved his hand repeatedly. “No need, no need, no need to repay me. Miss Xiaolu, don’t worry. If you need anything, just tell me. Don’t feel troubled. You must be tired after rushing over. Rest well for the time being.”
Su Xiaolu was touched at the right time and lowered her eyes shyly. “Thank you, Young Master Wang. You’re such a good person.”
Su Xiaolu was certain that An Lie’s matter was related to Wang Jiang.
Wang Jiang only felt that she looked familiar. He had seen her dressed as a man the last time, now that she had grown up and returned to wearing women’s clothes, he did not recognize her.
Staying here was also beneficial to her prying for information.
Wang Jiang had been accompanying Su Xiaolu to tour the house. He was very considerate.
Su Xiaolu looked at Wang Jiang. She was very grateful and shy. “Young Master Wang, thank you. I’m a little tired today.”
Wang Jiang didn’t really want to leave yet, but thinking that it was only the first day, he smiled gently and said, “Miss Xiaolu, have a good rest. I’ll get busy first. I’ll get two maidservants to take care of you later. If you need anything, tell them.”
Su Xiaolu nodded. “Okay, thank you, Young Master Wang.”
Su Xiaolu’s voice was sweet and soft, making Wang Jiang dizzy. He repeatedly said that it was okay and left reluctantly.
After Wang Jiang left, Su Xiaolu heaved a sigh of relief. A person could change so much.
Why didn’t they realize that Wang Jiang was such a pervert last time?
However, she had only seen Wang Jiang for a while last time and did not know him well. Last time, he was also gentle and elegant, just like now. The only difference was that last time, she was a man.
Thinking about it this way, it wasn’t strange. He naturally treated men and women differently.
Wang Mian should be dead. He was also unlucky. Even if he died, he still had to take the blame for Wang Jiang.
In the past, Wang Jiang worked for Li Yu. She wondered if he still did.
The two maidservants sent by Wang Jiang came over quickly. Su Xiaolu told them not to enter the room. She wanted to sleep and did not like to be disturbed. She would be fine after sleeping for two hours.
The two maidservants nodded lightly in agreement. They were not bad-looking and were originally unwilling to serve Su Xiaolu. They were glad that Su Xiaolu did not need them.
As soon as the door closed, Su Xiaolu left through the window.
Her Qinggong was outstanding, so it was easy for her to leave this courtyard.
When she returned to the small courtyard, Old Wu and Gui You had already cleaned up the courtyard.
Su Xiaolu said, “Masters, something happened to my eldest disciple.”
Su Xiaolu briefly explained the situation.
Including the fact that she was now living in Wang Jiang’s residence.
“Then we do have to investigate carefully. Go over there first. We will investigate later and find out about the current situation in Qinghai. Be careful. There are good and evil people. Learn to distinguish them yourself.”
Old Wu looked at Su Xiaolu and said gently. Sooner or later, Su Xiaolu would have to take care of herself. This was a good opportunity.
Su Xiaolu nodded. “Yes, Master, I’ll leave first.”
She still had to tell Zhou Zhi.
After leaving the courtyard, Su Xiaolu went to look for Zhou Zhi and told him what had happened.
The matter of going out to sea would be delayed for a few days. An Lie was her disciple, so she definitely had to investigate and confirm if An Lie’s family was still around. If they were no longer around, she was his Master. She had to do everything she could to seek justice for him and take revenge.
