Dressed as the villain's stepmother

Jiang Lianzhu, on the other hand, seemed extremely calm, and after casually saying hello, she went upstairs with the wooden sign in her hand.

Anyway, living in the same room with someone doesn't mean living together, it's just a matter of making do for one night, and there really isn't that much to pay attention to.

Liao Yunchuan also walked up not long after.

He gently opened the door to the room and saw Jiang Lianzhu sitting at the table reading the medical book in his hand.

"Jiang Lianzhu."

Liao Yunchuan called her.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Lianzhu glanced at Liao Yunchuan, who was standing at the door and had not walked in. "I have asked the waiter for another quilt. You will sleep on the couch tonight and I will sleep on the floor."

Jiang Lianzhu said unhurriedly, without giving Liao Yunchuan any chance to refute, and just spread the extra quilt on the ground.

"Okay, we have to continue our journey tomorrow morning, so we have to have a good rest tonight."

Liao Yunchuan had planned several different words in his mind, but he didn't expect Jiang Lianzhu to be in such a posture. For a while, he could only swallow back the words he had thought of.

the next day.

The group all got up at dawn.

Yang Fei happened to live in the room next to the two of them. When he saw Liao Yunchuan, he couldn't help but ask gossip.

"Boss, did you and your wife sleep on the same couch last night? I was curious about it for a long time last night and kept thinking about it, and I couldn't sleep until late at night."

Curiosity was clearly written all over his face, and Liao Yunchuan took a step aside with a little disgust.

"We are both innocent."

"what?"

Yang Fei was slightly disappointed after hearing this. He didn't expect that what he had been looking forward to for a long time would actually happen like this.

"That's all. Anyway, there will be more opportunities like this in the future, and it won't take more than a day or two."

Yang Fei kept talking, seemingly comforting Liao Yunchuan, but in fact he was just comforting himself.

It was already evening when the group arrived at Luoshui Town.

What is very different from before is that the nights in Luoshui Town are not as quiet as before. Many villagers are walking on the road. They see one carriage after another parked outside the town, and they all come over, some curious. Looking at it.

"When did so many outsiders come to our place? There doesn't seem to be anything interesting in our town. Only those herbs are famous."

"Yes, but are these people here for the iron mine in the back mountain? I heard Uncle Agui say before that I saw someone digging some out of the iron mine... I can't be sure. These people are in the same group as them.”

"Tsk, there are so many different groups. Anyway, just don't cause trouble for our town. We can't control anything else."

A group of villagers were discussing in low voices. Jiang Lianzhu was sitting in the carriage and couldn't hear what they were talking about at all. She could only make vague guesses.

Liao Yunchuan got off the carriage first. The villagers on the same side asked the house where the mayor lived: "Where are you normally now?"

The villagers looked at Liao Yunchuan with some vigilance. It was really weird for this man who didn't even know his background to ask them about such things as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Why do you ask these things in such a polite way? Outsiders like you should not come into our town."

The villagers took a step back inaudibly, but the words they spoke were not too polite.

"Auntie, we have something to discuss with the mayor. We don't have any ill intentions in coming here. We need to trouble you to show us the way."

Jiang Lianzhu then stepped down from the carriage and explained very politely to the villager who had just spoken.

The villager always felt that Jiang Lianzhu looked familiar when he saw her. After thinking about it carefully, he finally remembered her as a number one person.

"It turns out that the Living Bodhisattva of our town is here. Miss Jiang, are all these people over there following you? They all look fierce and fierce. Just now we thought they were coming to the village to do something. Destructive.”

The villagers said it very politely, and their attitude towards them became a little better.

"Yes, they all came with me."

Jiang Lianzhu nodded in response.

"In that case, I will take you to the mayor."

The villagers relaxed after hearing the affirmative answer, glanced at Liao Yunchuan standing next to him, and walked with him towards the town.

Xiao Shi's house was at the very back of the town. The villagers knocked on the wooden door first, and after getting the answer from inside, they opened the door and walked in.

"It's so late, is there anything else?"

Xiao Shi's attitude towards several villagers was extremely polite.

"Mayor, this young man just said he wanted to come to see you, and we planned to stop him before... but he knew Miss Jiang, so we brought him over."

The villagers answered.

Xiao Shi followed what they said and turned his attention to Jiang Lianzhu and Liao Yunchuan.

There was a bit of surprise on his face that could not be concealed, and he immediately let the two of them in and politely poured them a cup of tea.

"Miss Jiang, Mr. Liao." Xiao Shi called the two of them a little politely.

"Mayor Xiao, we have some friendship. Now I will talk to you about this matter straight to the point."

Liao Yunchuan ignored Xiao Shi's slightly attentive words just now and said unhurriedly.

Xiao Shi opened his mouth and didn't know what to say for a moment. He was silent for a long time before he slowly said: "Isn't it what you are asking about about the iron mine?"

Although he said it in a somewhat skeptical tone, he was already extremely confident in his heart.

There should be nothing else that can get all the people from the six gates to come to the town, apart from the iron ore matter.

"Yes, I heard that someone has recently come up with the idea of ​​​​an iron mine. Do you know about this?"

Liao Yunchuan asked directly.

Xiao Shi's eyes dodge for a while, and he tilted his head to the side: "Of course I don't know about this matter. If I knew, I wouldn't allow those people to do this."

"Xiao Shi, we came to dinner with great sincerity. If you tell lies to the two of us as soon as you open your mouth, I'm afraid it will be even more impossible to talk about it later."

Liao Yunchuan frowned inaudibly. The traces of Xiao Shi's lies were too obvious and could be seen at a glance. .
