Dressed as the villain's stepmother

"Well, what does Miss Jiang mean by telling me this now?" Mr. Wang immediately panicked and looked up at the two people standing in front of him.

Seeing Mr. Wang's cowering look, the maid knew that she had hit a brick wall and she didn't dare to say another word.

"I want to go out with Liao Yunchuan to see the quality of the medicinal materials in the medicine shop here. If possible, I also want to do another business, but this maid wants to stop me."

Jiang Lianzhu said and glanced sideways at the maid.

"I don't know what her intentions are. Does she not want to see me doing business with Mr. Wang, or does she think that I will cause trouble again if I go out this time?"

After hearing what she said, Mr. Wang immediately raised his hand to wipe the non-existent sweat on his forehead.

This Jiang Lianzhu said things very seriously. She kept blaming the maid on her head even though they were all untrue. Wasn't she just telling herself in disguise that she should never be provoked or controlled.

Mr. Wang was silent for a moment, and then put on a flattering smile: "Miss Jiang, what she said was too serious. It was because the maids in our house lacked discipline, and now they regarded themselves as their masters. "

He said, took a step forward, raised his hand and slapped the maid on the face.

The maid's face was immediately swollen.

"If Miss Jiang wants to leave the house, she can just go out. Naturally, I will not interfere in any way."

"Okay, what I want is Mr. Wang's words."

Jiang Lianzhu nodded with satisfaction and left the study without saying a word.

The maid only raised her head after she left, still feeling a little frightened.

"Sir, should we send someone to follow the two of them now? The servant has tried her best to stop them, but Miss Jiang is really unreasonable and can't listen to a word."

The slap Mr. Wang just slapped on his face was made with great force.

She could feel the stinging pain on her cheek now.

"You don't need to worry about this matter anymore." Mr. Wang waved his hand and said, "This village is full of our people. I'm sorry that the two of them can't cause any trouble."

the other side.

Jiang Lianzhu followed Liao Yunchuan out of the house and entered a medicinal shop.

Jiang Lianzhu pretended to lower her head and pick out the herbs. She took a few herbs and looked at them. They were not as good as the ones Zhao Ruyang showed her.

There were only two people in the shop, Jiang Lianzhu and Liao Yunchuan. The shopkeeper came up to her without saying a word: "What kind of herbs do you want to buy, girl?"

"I would like to ask the shopkeeper if you have any better quality ones in your shop?" Jiang Lianzhu asked, pointing to an herb.

Liu Liide had made it clear to him before that the herbs in this village were better than those in other places.

But what I see now is even worse.

"Here, this girl just confused me. With the current situation in our village, who else has the time to plant herbs?"

The shopkeeper also felt a headache when he mentioned this matter.

"The batch that is being sold now are all those that were kept in the warehouse before being sold. If the girl wants something with better quality, she may have to run all over the village to find it."

Their village originally relied on those high-quality herbs to make a difference, but now a famine has cut off even their financial resources.

His shop is pretty good, and he has a backlog of medicinal herbs in the warehouse that he can sell.

If it were any other shop, there would really be nothing.

"That's it." Jiang Lianzhu nodded, "I want to send urgent supplies, so I can only pick them out a little bit, and the shopkeeper doesn't have to follow us anymore."

After hearing this, the shopkeeper sat back down. Seeing that Liao Yunchuan and Jiang Lianzhu were really carefully selecting herbs, he didn't pay much attention to them.

"Where should we go to find Zhao Ruyang now? Master Wang's eyes and ears are everywhere in the village. I'm afraid someone has already told him our whereabouts."

Jiang Lianzhu glanced at Liao Yunchuan and did not stop selecting herbs in her hands.

She has never had direct contact with Zhao Ruyang since she left that house, and now it depends on whether Liao Yunchuan has made arrangements in advance.

"I have already decided on a place with him, right in front of an empty house at the end of the village." Liao Yunchuan replied.

When he was leaving with a group of people, he dropped a ball of paper on the ground. The meeting place was written on the ball of paper.

Zhao Ruyang was as careful as his hair, so he should have noticed it.

"Okay." Jiang Lianzhu composed herself.

She selected a few herbs, paid the money, and walked to the village with Liao Yunchuan.

There were only a few gossiping aunts around, and those people sent by Mr. Wang to keep an eye on them were probably going back to report to him.

There was a sudden noise behind them, and Liao Yunchuan and Jiang Lianzhu turned their heads to look.

Zhao Ruyang was hiding in the empty house and waved to the two of them: "Here!"

The two of them turned around and walked inside without any hesitation.

After the two of them walked in, Zhao Ruyang carefully closed the door, and then lit the candlestick in the room with the flint he brought with him.

"Have you two figured out the location of the granary now?" Zhao Ruyang asked, with a hint of hope in his voice.

"We've figured it out." Jiang Lianzhu nodded, "Master Wang built the granary underground, and used a dilapidated house as a cover on the ground. When the time comes, we will first move the grain out, and then set fire to the house. ”

She had discussed this matter with Liao Yunchuan in the medicinal shop and had already discussed a countermeasure.

The plan was to cause a commotion and at the same time distribute the grain to the villagers who had never participated in reselling.

As for those who help the evildoers, they must suffer some hardships first.

"It's just that with just the three of us, how can we transport all that food..." Zhao Ruyang gritted his teeth, "It would be great if they didn't submit to Lord Wang."

Originally there were more than a dozen people willing to follow him, but now they all followed Uncle Xiao.

Now, with just the three of them, it would definitely take a lot of effort to transport that amount of food.

"Don't think about them anymore. Since they don't want to be with us, why do you have to force them?"

Jiang Lianzhu chuckled, slightly sarcastically.

She has always been someone who hates betrayal. Since they have made their choice, they should bear the consequences.

"We will knock out the people guarding the granary later, and then we will take action as I just said."
