Wealth and glory seek stability

Li's eyes, which seemed dead, suddenly became bright, and the viciousness on her face flashed away.

Jian Xi knew that she had guessed right. She walked forward, put a handkerchief on her hand, lifted up Li's face, and looked down at her.

"Tsk! This face still has some color. No wonder the merchant was willing to take you with him. But now I am the butcher and you are the meat. What should I do?"

The cold voice was without a trace of emotion, and Li finally got scared.

His face was covered with tears and snot, and he knelt on the ground begging for mercy.

But the unwillingness in her eyes could not be hidden. At Jian Xi's expression, Mother Hong stepped forward and took the towel out of Li's mouth.

Li suppressed her resentment, lowered her eyes, and whispered, "I only ask the young lady to spare my worthless life. I just want to be a nanny in this courtyard and have a meal. I don't dare to expect anything else."

Jian Xi laughed out of anger. Did this Li think she was a fool? Such a time bomb and still had hatred towards her. If she really stayed in the general's mansion, she would have lived in vain for decades.

"I haven't told you what I asked you before. Who ordered you to disrupt my brother's wedding?"

She didn't believe that such a meticulous idea could have been thought of by the ignorant village woman in her memory.

Li didn't expect Jian Xi to be so difficult to deal with, and she kept on talking about this topic, "Young lady, you are joking. I went to the Shen Mansion just because of the rumors in the city. No one else instructed me to do so."

Jian Xi snorted coldly, "It seems that you won't cry until you see the coffin."

"Mother Hong."

Mother Hong stepped forward and kicked Li to the ground, pinning her whole body to the ground, grabbing her hair and forcing her to look up:

"I have disciplined countless stubborn people. I advise you to be honest. If you still don't speak, I will stick a silver needle into your fingernail to see if you can still be stubborn. Just answer whatever the girl asks you. Don't ask for trouble."

Li lay on the cold floor, listening to Mother Hong's evil words that sounded like they came from hell, feeling somewhat hesitant.

Think about what that person said, as long as she insists on the matter, Jian Xi can't do anything to her.

"You press it, I'll go get the silver needle from the room." Mother Hong called the maid beside her and walked out directly.

However, Jian Xi seemed to not care about Li at all and started chatting with Xing's mother.

"Mother Xing, are there any families in your farm that are suitable for marriage?"

Although Mother Xing didn't understand what Jian Xi meant, she still said, "It's already difficult for farmers to get married, so there are naturally many single people."

"After all, she had been with my father for a few years. Even though she remarried, there is still a relationship. It is difficult for women to make a living in this world. I want to help her, so I might as well find a good family for her so that she can have someone to rely on. If she can have a child, that would be even better, so that she doesn't have to look for adopted children everywhere."

Jane Xi held the tea lid with her bare hands and scraped off the foam, but she didn't drink it. She just looked at the tea in her hand.

Mother Xing had been in the inner house for a long time, and she immediately understood what Jian Xi meant, and responded:

"The girl is truly the most charitable person. There is no need to look for one. There is already one."

"Before I arranged the general's wedding, I was checking the accounts of the farm under me. I chatted with the wife of the head of the farm. She said that there was a family in the farm under the general's name. There were four brothers, none of whom had married. The man of the family was worried about buying a daughter-in-law to carry on the family line for his four sons."

"The peasant family was simple, and the four brothers were strong. The mother-in-law was also well-known in the area for her ability and eloquence. She had married a daughter-in-law before, but unfortunately she was unlucky and gave birth to three daughters. One winter, she slipped and fell into the lake while washing clothes and drowned."

Li finally understood what Jian Xi meant. She widened her eyes in disbelief, "You! You dare?!" She struggled to get up.

Mother Xing glared at him with dissatisfaction, "This man is really ungrateful. If it weren't for the girl's kindness, how could you have gotten such a good marriage?"

Jian Xi raised the corner of her mouth, and met Li's gaze without fear, "Why should I be afraid? Their whole family's lives are in my hands. They will obey whatever I ask them to do."

"Don't worry, I will make sure they treat you well." He emphasized

"You have no relationship with the general, so it's not appropriate for you to stay in the general's mansion. Now that I have a new mistress, I am already living under someone else's roof. Wouldn't it be a slap in my face to let you stay in the mansion and do rough work? Don't worry, I will definitely give you a dowry and help you find a good home."

Jian Xi seemed to be genuinely concerned about Li. Mother Xing chimed in, "Young lady, you are so kind. Now the news has long been spread in the capital about how Li treated General Shen and his sister harshly. You are really repaying evil with kindness by doing this. I'm afraid others wouldn't have such a broad mind."

Listening to the master and servant singing the same tune, Li almost vomited blood.

What's the point of repaying evil with kindness? This little bitch wants to kill her!

The farm under her control was watched over by four strong men and there was an evil mother-in-law. The house was penniless, not to mention that the previous daughter-in-law went into the water in the middle of winter. I'm afraid she couldn't stand the torture and jumped into the water to commit suicide. It was just a nice talk.

"You, you are so cruel..." The anger on Li's body was instantly removed.

In her impression, Jian Xi has always been a gentle and weak person who would not even step on an ant to death. She didn't expect that she was wrong today.

When Jian Xi was a child, she learned embroidery from her mother. Later, when Li came into the family, all the money that Jian Xi earned from selling embroidery was taken away by her.

Jian Yu was seriously ill, and Li lied to Jian Xi that the family was in financial difficulty, and asked the little girl to make those laborious embroidery works day and night to sell for money, but the money was not used for Jian Yu.

Now Jian Xi held her life and death in her hands while chatting and laughing, and used the hypocritical tactics that Li often used. Li felt a fear deep in her bones.

Jian Xi didn't care what Li was thinking. This was what she owed the original owner.

Li overestimated her own means and underestimated Jian Xi's current state.

Jian Xi was not in a hurry anyway, so she just waited slowly. She knew that this psychological conflict before death would be the last straw that broke the camel's back for Li.

Mother Hong is big and strong, and the road vibrates when she walks.

"Here's the needle."

Opening the needle bag, the silver needles inside were thin and long, shining with a cold light.
