Early in the morning, Jiang Luo was woken up, dressed in the clothes the maids had prepared, and prepared to go home with Chi You.

As they reached the gate, they heard a series of shrieks in the backyard. Jiang Luo turned his head to see the servants and maids hurrying towards the backyard, their faces white.

Something seems to have happened.

The carriage stopped in front of the door, and the lady said with a smile, “Young Master Jiang, please come.”

Jiang Luo turned back, bowed his head and got into the carriage.

The distance between Jiang’s house and Chi’s was not far, and it did not take long for them to reach their destination. Chi You put down the book in his hand and got out of the carriage with Jiang Luo first. He looked at Jiang Luo’s back and pondered.

Jiang Luo did not say a word on the way home. He really did not feel any joy at the prospect of going home, and was even vaguely repulsed by it.

The Chi family is such a quagmire, but Jiang Luo has managed to adapt well and is in high spirits every day.

I have to say, Chi You’s rarely seen curiosity has been completely piqued by Jiang Luo.

According to the local wedding custom, on the third day after the wedding, the bride must 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 to knock on the door, the Jiang family member who opened the door was sleepy-eyed and stumbled when he saw Jiang Luo, “Young master?”

It was as if Jiang Luo hadn’t been expected to return.

Soon, the Jiang family knew that their young master had returned with the first young master of the Chi family. The whole house was in an uproar and the chickens were flying.

Jiang Luo and Chi You are led to the parlour where a maid hastily brings freshly brewed tea. The tea swirls in the cup and bowl before Jiang Luo’s father, Jiang Pingcheng, appears in dishevelled clothes.

Jiang Pingcheng smiled awkwardly as he rubbed his hands together, “Why did Young Master Chi want to bring Jiang Luo to our place today?”

Behind him, Jiang Luo’s mother, Xiao Yan, walked in quickly and in a panic, her eyes bursting into tears as she saw Jiang Luo, choking back tears as she covered her handkerchief and said, “Luo, you’re back.”

Jiang Pingcheng frowned at her and lectured her in a low voice, “Why are you crying when the customers are here?”

“I’m not too happy about this?” Xiao Yan cowered for a moment and stifled her sobs, “Lok Lok has easily returned to the door , I have waited for three days to finally wait for him to return to the door, I could not hold back for a moment before …… Lok Lok, quickly let mother look at you.”

Jiang Pingcheng just remembered that his son and the Chi family had been married for exactly three days.

But he had forgotten about it and nothing was prepared at home.

Jiang Pingcheng’s forehead was covered in cold sweat as he said with a snort, “Yes, your mother has been waiting for today. But I was afraid that if you didn’t come back today, your mother would have an empty trip, so I didn’t make any preparations, otherwise it would have been very difficult to wait for her. We’ve never had a man marry before, so your mother and I can’t decide, can we? Who knows if the Chi family will let you and Young Master Chi come back.”

Jiang Luo listened and suddenly laughed. He didn’t say anything, but took a sip of his water and left Jiang Pingcheng in the lurch. Jiang Pingcheng stood there stiffly without being handed a step, unable to get off the stage at all.

He glared at Jiang Luo in secret annoyance, and if Chi You hadn’t been here, he would have taken a swing at the increasingly daring brat.

Chi You said slowly, “Father-in-law really cares for Lok Lok.”

Jiang Luo spat out his tea with a loud “poof”.

What is this name for Lok Lok.

He was so embarrassed that his scalp tingled, and Chi You handed him a handkerchief with a genuine concern, “Be careful, wipe the water off.

Jiang Luo took the handkerchief and wiped it across his lips as Yu Guang curiously crossed Chi You’s face. Chi You turned his head back to the side of his face, the corners of his lips curving up slightly.

Jiang Luo’s eyes narrowed, huh, this guy did it on purpose.

Jiang Pingcheng thought Chi You sounded a bit strange, but there was nothing strange in Chi You’s tone or demeanour. He put that behind him and began to talk to Chi You.

Xiao Yan walked over to Jiang Luo and looked at her carefully. Her eyes burned, and before she cried, she remembered her husband’s words and hastily held Jiang Luo in her arms, “Luo, it’s all my fault, I couldn’t make your father stop thinking about marrying you into the Chi family. It’s a foregone conclusion, so that’s all we can do. You must not lose your temper at will in the future, but treat Young Master Chi well, and do whatever he says, and be obedient to him, and you will have a better life.”

Jiang Luo pushed her away, “So have you had a good time?”

Xiao Yan froze, Jiang Luo laughed and said to himself, “Never mind, no need to say, of course you think this is a good life.”

Jiang Pingcheng complained twice more to Chi You about the expenses of the house running like water, implying in every word 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, take someone to bring the things in.”

Jiang Pingcheng was overjoyed, and after a few more words with Chi You, he hurried out of the parlour on his feet.

Xiao Yan looked at his back, hesitated for a long time, and then followed after him.

Jiang Luo and Chi You were the only two people left in the parlour for a while.

“People come to visit and the host family ends up leaving the guests behind themselves,” Jiang Luo snorted and turned his head to Chi You , “That’s the fine tradition of the Jiang family, I’ve made you laugh.”

Chi You smiled, “Why don’t you show me around the Jiang family too?”

Jiang Luo got up and said, “Come on.”

In fact, Jiang Luo has never been to this Jiang family in the mirror world either.

He takes Chi You for a walk, looking at the Jiang family’s surroundings himself. 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 is no comparison with the six great families of the metaphysical world like the Chi family.

Although small, the world of metaphysics is a money-spinner. Tian Shifu alone is paid an exaggerated sum for a single mission. Even Bai Hua University’s students receive significant bonuses when they complete their state-assigned tasks. Jiang Luo’s talismans are sold for hundreds of thousands of dollars, and since he gave the director of Next Stop, Idol a free talisman to protect his life, the chief director introduced Jiang Luo to everyone, and Jiang Luo’s talismans do work, which has made his reputation widespread in the shadows, and his talismans have become a hot seller without a price.

After seeing more money, it really doesn’t mean anything anymore. Jiang Pingcheng, who used to be a shadow of his former self, now seems ridiculous.

Jiang Luo took Chi You all the way to his “own” place.

On the way past Jiang Pingcheng’s house, the door to his room was left open and a conversation came from it.

Jiang Pingcheng said ingratiatingly, ” Xia Qin, look, this is the best piece of cloth from the Chi family, the colour matches you so well, I saw it and sent it to you.”

The woman said, “Thank you, Your Lordship.”

Jiang Luo’s footsteps were halting, and in the next instant he reversed direction and headed for Jiang Pingcheng’s house.

Chi You followed him silently.

The door is open, leaving a two-finger gap, and Jiang Luo stands in front of it, peering through it.

Jiang Pingcheng is standing at the table with his back to Jiang Luo. He is holding a cloth on the table and bragging about it constantly. Opposite him, the woman sitting directly opposite Jiang Luo is young and pretty and is wearing a faint smile.

She also saw Jiang Luo.

Jiang Luo doesn’t hide, doesn’t avoid, and stares at the woman across Jiang Pingcheng.

The woman suddenly smiled as she gently got up and walked over to Jiang Pingcheng, reaching up to unbutton her cheongsam and dropping a pleasantly scented kiss on Jiang Pingcheng’s face, “Master, let me serve you.”

Jiang Pingcheng was very tempted but a little hesitant, “The young master of the Chi family is still in the parlour ……”

The woman’s eyes looked at Jiang Luo and her fingers slid lovingly down Jiang Pingcheng’s face, “Then leave it to Madam.”

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 faintly showing through 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 clearly not far away, but the distance seemed to lengthen to the extreme for a moment, and in between the trance back, it seemed to be only one step closer.

She moved to kiss Jiang Pingcheng on the eyes, gasping and purring deliberately.

“Your Lordship ……”

This scene slowly overlaps with a scene Jiang Luo remembers.

He was just 15 years old, and he was walking home from school in the golden sun in the evening.

Jiang Luo passed his father’s door and heard the man’s heavy panting and the woman’s sweet cries from inside.

The precocious Jiang Luo knew what that meant. He tried to avert his eyes without a ripple, but found that the door had been left open, leaving a gap wide enough to see inside.

Jiang Luo looked up and met Xia Qin, who was lying on his father’s bed.

Xia Qin, sweat sliding down her face as he watched, looked at Jiang Luo, her eyes unshifting, her beautiful body pressing harder against her father.

White thighs wobbled around the bed, making enough sickening bedtime noises.

Jiang Luo’s pupils constricted at that point.

Xia Qin, the nanny who has been with him for two years and who has protected him like a sister during the countless beatings of his father, the second woman he trusts besides his mother and whom he considers the best in the world, cheats on him with his father right under his nose.

……

Jiang Luo turned around and walked away.

Xia Qin’s eyes flickered as she watched him fade away into a black dot, and lost in thought, she put her pale, soft arm around Jiang Pingcheng’s shoulders.

Jiang Pingcheng breathed hard on her chest and said smittenly, “Xia Qin, what a day it is. You’ve not only put on make-up, but you’ve also used incense and put on a new cheongsam. You are so beautiful today that I can’t take my eyes off you.”

Xia Qin withdrew her gaze and lowered her head, whispering, “Does your lordship like it?”

“Love it, I love it so much!”

“I’m happy if you like it,” Xia Qin said softly and honeyedly as she revealed a smile, “I’m happy if your lordship likes it.”
