Dressed as the villain's stepmother

"Okay, what are you two arguing about here!" Li Zheng scolded and glanced at Liao Yunchuan, "What is the relationship between you and Jiang Lianzhu?"

"She saved my life before on the mountain." Liao Yunchuan replied.

Hearing this, Li Zheng looked at Liao Yunchuan from head to toe, and suddenly saw the token hanging beside him with sharp eyes, and his eyes widened.

If I read it correctly, the style of this token should come from the capital—

Could it be that the plainly dressed man in front of me is still an official from the capital? !

Li Zheng couldn't swallow the saliva in his mouth, and almost choked himself to death. His voice trembled a little when he spoke.

"Then you, what is your identity?"

"I am an imperial businessman in the capital. I led a team to the Western Regions a few months ago. When I came back, I was attacked by bandits. I was trapped in the mountain alone and was saved by Miss Jiang."

Liao Yunchuan answered without changing his expression and hid the token he had deliberately exposed in his sleeve.

This is exactly what he had seen once before in the Yamen. He was a bully and afraid of the strong, and he especially liked to be attentive.

He must be able to recognize Zheng Zheng in this token. At least if it is slightly exposed to his eyes, he will not dare to make any big moves.

"Huangshang...Huangshang is good, these gifts are all for the emperor!" Li Zheng had already been so confused that he couldn't tell the difference between east, west, north and south, and he said a few words of praise dryly.

Jiang Lianzhu was focused on Mrs. Zhao. She didn't know what tricks Liao Yunchuan used to make Li Zheng lose his temper after a while.

Looking at it from before, it would not be an exaggeration to say that the two of them are the same.

"This person... How could this person be an imperial businessman? He is dressed in such rags, and he has interacted with such a shameless person!" Mrs. Zhao immediately became anxious and cried again.

Li Zheng felt upset when he heard Mrs. Zhao's voice.

She had specially caught a chicken before and bribed him to agree to drive Jiang Lianzhu out of the village. Little did she know that there was such a person standing behind Jiang Lianzhu.

He can move this golden thigh!

"You crazy woman is crying and howling here. You don't need to tell Mr. Huangshang what to wear!" Li Zheng said, and slapped Mrs. Zhao directly on the face.

This bitch did this to herself late at night, just to make him lose his position as an official, right?

"This, this, we were not before..." Mrs. Zhao was stunned for a moment by Li Zheng, and she spoke subconsciously.

Before she could continue speaking, Li Zheng slapped her again, making Mrs. Zhao afraid to say another word for a long time.

Jiang Lianzhu looked on, dumbfounded, but deep down she was even more suspicious of Liao Yunchuan's identity.

Li Zheng had some connections not only in the town, but also in the county. He didn't know where this person came from, who could make people fear like this.

"Lord Huangshang, it's all because of this woman's short-sightedness that all these accidents happened. I don't mean any offense!" Li Zheng turned his head and changed his face, and said earnestly to Liao Yunchuan.

Liao Yunchuan was a little disgusted by his approach, so he responded with a cold face, and then took a few steps back.

"In the final analysis, this matter still has something to do with me. This gentleman has no objections. Could it be that my anger has dissipated?" Jiang Lianzhu spoke up at the right time and glanced at Li Zheng.

She stood next to Liao Yunchuan, looking like she was taking advantage of the crowd's power, and Ming Lizheng swallowed back the few words of prevarication in his mouth.

Li Zheng was standing there, his palms were sweating, and even the soles of his feet were sticky. He still couldn't think of any way to respond to Jiang Lianzhu's words.

He was just afraid that if he said something wrong, Jiang Lianzhu would have a few more opinions.

"I'm not asking too much. I'll just ask Mrs. Zhao to post a notice in the village tomorrow, saying that she framed my relationship with this gentleman because of jealousy. How about that?"

Jiang Lianzhu seemed to have seen the speculation in his heart, and added casually.

After hearing this, Li Zheng immediately agreed.

Jiang Lianzhu did not argue with the two people anymore and took Liao Yunchuan back to her yard.

As soon as she opened the courtyard door, she didn't stop Liao Yunchuan anymore, and turned sideways to let him go in with the bag of things she originally brought.

"Is Mr. Liao's identity really that simple as an imperial merchant?" Jiang Lianzhu asked without any concealment.

As she spoke, she opened the cloth bag he had brought in, and there were some scattered meat and vegetables inside. They all looked fresh, and she seemed to be somewhat grateful.

"Otherwise, who do you think I am, Miss Jiang?" Liao Yunchuan responded with a playful smile, his slightly raised eyebrows showing a hint of joking, "It was Liao's lack of consideration tonight that scared the girl. Naturally, she won't do it in the future. Be as reckless as today again.”

"It's okay."

Jiang Lianzhu responded coldly and said goodbye directly.

Not to mention what the future will be like, she and people like Liao Yunchuan will definitely not have many interactions with each other again.

Jiang Lianzhu sent Liao Yunchuan away, wrapped herself in a quilt and lay on the couch for a while. When she saw a hint of fish belly white on the horizon, she packed up her things and set out on the road.

On this day, Yang Fei did not come again, but Mrs. Zhao, who had been humiliated last night, stood in front of the stall without saying a word.

"What's the price of your snow pear ointment?" Mrs. Zhao's face was swollen like a bald fish. It seemed that the two slaps she received yesterday were very powerful. Not only was her face swollen, but she could not even speak. Also vague.

Jiang Lianzhu looked at her and sneered in her heart, then slowly pointed to the wooden sign next to her.

"A jar costs ten cents, how much does Mrs. Zhao plan to ask for?"

"You want ten cents from me for such a small jar of stuff! Why don't you just go and grab it!"

Mrs. Zhao looked at the jar, which was half the size of a fist, and immediately became unhappy.

She didn't come here to be taken advantage of!This Jiang Lianzhu clearly saw that the two of them had a grudge before and was going too far!

Jiang Lianzhu looked at Mrs. Zhao, grinning, her fox-like eyes twinkling slightly, and then she replied slowly: "Everyone I sell to is the same price. If you think it's expensive, then don't buy it!"

"Yeah, if you think it's expensive, then stay out of the way. Don't you see there are so many people behind us waiting to buy?"

"Really, this old woman who has never seen the world appears out of nowhere, her face is so swollen, and she still has the nerve to come out to meet people!"

A few words of discussion directly reached Mrs. Zhao's ears. She became anxious and stamped her feet fiercely on the spot. The two words jumped out of her mouth, almost shouting at the top of her voice.

"I'll buy!"
