Chapter 194 Plot 7 Who is the concubine? I am the queen!
In the slightly small but warmly decorated guest rooms of the inn, a subtle atmosphere permeates the air.
Chao Chao was very curious about the scene she had just seen. She stretched out her little hand and gently tugged at Bai Jin's clothes. She looked at her father and asked, "Daddy, Daddy, why was that person sitting on someone else's lap to eat?"
Bai Jin's heart was in turmoil at this moment, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He secretly glanced at Jiang Yunjiu with the corner of his eye, only to see that Jiang Yunjiu was looking at him indifferently, coldly, without a trace of warmth.
Bai Jin was so nervous that his throat was dry. He looked at Jiang Yunjiu cautiously and moved his lips, but he didn't dare to say anything. He just knelt there in a daze.
Seeing Bai Jin's timid look, Jiang Yunjiu frowned slightly, and her tone was cold and clear with a hint of dissatisfaction: "Chaochao is asking you, why don't you say something! Don't play dumb here." Her eyes became sharper and pierced Bai Jin straight away.
Bai Jin shuddered and quickly replied, "That... that sister has a bad leg and needs someone to hold her so that she can eat comfortably." After saying that, he looked at Jiang Yunjiu with a little trepidation, his eyes revealing a flattering look, as if saying, "Wife, are you satisfied with my answer?"
But Chao Chao's curiosity was like a flood that broke through the dam and could not be stopped. Blinking, she suddenly realized that her father was much shorter than her. She tilted her head and asked, "Daddy, why did you kneel down?"
Jiang Yunjiu frowned slightly, a subtle emotion flashing in her eyes. She remained calm and composed, standing there quietly with her arms folded across her chest. She had only been slightly dissatisfied with Bai Jin's behavior and hadn't considered asking him to kneel down. Unexpectedly, this guy was quite self-aware. Now that Chao Chao had asked this question, she wanted to see how he would explain himself.
Seeing that his wife still had a cold expression and showed no sign of softening, Bai Jin became more and more flustered. He moved closer to Chao Chao and whispered in a voice that only they could hear, "Daddy just saw something he shouldn't have seen, and he didn't want your mother to know. He made her angry, so Daddy has to kneel here and apologize to your mother." As he spoke, he secretly observed Jiang Yunjiu's expression.
When Jiang Yunjiu heard this, a trace of anger flashed in her eyes. She didn't expect that Bai Jin would dare to confuse right and wrong in front of Chao Chao and put all the responsibility on herself.
She walked towards Bai Jin step by step. When she reached Bai Jin, she stretched out her slender jade hand and tightly grasped Bai Jin's ear. The movement seemed gentle but carried unquestionable strength. Her voice was still as cold as ice: "I'm not angry! Don't talk nonsense and mislead Chao Chao."
It was just that cool air that seemed to lower the temperature around it a bit.
Bai Jin grimaced in pain, but he didn't dare to cry out loudly, for fear of further angering Jiang Yunjiu. He could only lower his voice and beg for mercy: "Wife, be gentle, it's my fault."
Chao Chao watched from the side, her little face full of worry. She pulled Jiang Yunjiu's skirt and said, "Mom, please stop pulling Daddy's ears. It hurts."
Jiang Yunjiu glanced at Chao Chao and loosened the grip a little: "Hmph, for Chao Chao's sake, I'll let you go for now."
Bai Jinru felt as if he had been pardoned. He nodded and bowed hurriedly, with a flattering smile on his face: "Thank you, my wife. I will never look at it again!" As he said that, he used his hands and feet to quickly stand up from the ground, and did not forget to gently pat the dust off his knees.
Jiang Yunjiu frowned slightly, a hint of dissatisfaction flashed in her eyes, and her tone was still as cold as frost: "Did I say to let you stand up?" Her voice was not loud, but it hit Bai Jinxin like a heavy hammer.
Bai Jin suddenly became like a deflated ball, pouting in grievance, his eyes full of resentment, but he did not dare to disobey, so he could only kneel down slowly again, looking so pitiful.
Just then, there was a sudden knock on the door. The "dong dong dong" sound echoed in the quiet guest room, breaking the slightly awkward atmosphere in the room.
Jiang Yunjiu frowned slightly, a hint of vigilance flashed in her eyes, and she walked forward with light steps to open the door.
As soon as the door opened, I saw the proprietress's smiling face. She was standing at the door with a smile on her face, and there was an unfathomable meaning in her eyes.
"Sir, our inn has introduced some new room services, which are provided to you free of charge." The proprietress said as she looked into the room with a wink.
Jiang Yunjiu nodded slightly and was about to refuse, but Bai Jin, who was kneeling, happened to see a few mermaids walking towards them behind the proprietress.
Those mermaids walked in a very coquettish manner, with their upper bodies naked and very little clothing on their lower bodies, almost exposing their nude body. The mermaid had a dazed look in her eyes and walked unsteadily, and was about to touch Jiang Yunjiu.
Bai Jin suddenly became anxious. He stood up from the ground, rushed over, grabbed Jiang Yunjiu's arm, pulled it back hard, and pulled Jiang Yunjiu behind him.
His eyes seemed to be filled with two balls of blazing anger as he stared straight at the proprietress. His face flushed red, and the veins on his neck were prominent. He shouted at the proprietress, "No! We don't need it! What do you mean by this? You seduce my wife in front of me, do you still have any shame?"
Upon hearing this, the proprietress's face, which had been filled with a professional smile, suddenly darkened. She snorted coldly, her eyes filled with contempt. Her gaze was like a pair of sharp knives as she sized Bai Jin up and down: "You, a mere concubine, dare to yell at me? Don't you realize your status? You have no right to speak here!"
When Bai Jin heard the word "concubine", she was furious. Her face flushed red with anger and her eyes were as big as copper bells. She retorted: "Who is a concubine? I am the principal wife!"
The proprietress was slightly stunned when she heard Bai Jin's rebuttal. She didn't expect that this seemingly ordinary man would be so bold. She calmed down a little and thought to herself that the people who checked in today were probably outsiders and didn't know much about the situation here.
Her tone softened slightly, but her eyes still held a warning: "You're not that kind of people, are you? Don't think that just because you have some status in your hometown, you can act wildly here."
As she spoke, she looked at Bai Jin, her eyes becoming sharper: "Since you have come here, you must abide by our rules and don't ask for trouble." After she finished speaking, she flicked her sleeves and turned away with the mermaids. Bai Jin still stood there, his anger still lingering, his fists clenched tightly, staring at the direction they left.
