Jiang Mengyue left.
There was no sound in the house for a long time.
Zhao Da looked at a bag of silver ingots and swallowed, "Mom, do we really have to follow her instructions?"
Mrs. Zhao was stunned, and only after meeting Jiang Mengyue did she realize what it meant to be different. She was a high-ranking noblewoman from the Marquis Mansion, and her every move was noble and elegant. They could not compare with her at all.
She didn't dare to call her as relative randomly, so she could only call her Miss Jiang.
Miss Jiang met them not because she was thinking about her family, but because she had other agendas.
"Mom, if we do this, will it ruin my sister's reputation?" Zhao Da raised his face and asked.
Miss Jiang came to them to make them cause trouble and let people in the capital know that the new lady in the Marquis Mansion grew up in the countryside. If this matter spread, Jiang Ning's reputation would be ruined.
Mrs. Zhao came back to her senses and snorted coldly, "So what if it's ruined, that white-eyed wolf! It's better for Miss Jiang to be generous!"
"Look, so much silver..."
Mrs. Zhao picked up a silver ingot and her eyes lit up, "As long as we finish our work, Miss Jiang will give us a large amount of silver so we don't have to worry about food and clothing."
Zhao Da also laughed after hearing this.
They had never seen so much money. As long as they thought that they would be able to live happily and drink spicy food in the future and no longer have to do hard work, even if they were asked to kill people and set fires, they could do it.
"Then we are going to make trouble tomorrow?" Zhao Da said.
"Wait!"
Mrs. Zhao thought about it. Although she was a country woman and had no knowledge, she still had brains.
For a few pennies, you can do a lot of things. At this time, an idea came to mind.
A way to get more money.
Mrs. Zhao resented Jiang Ning in her heart. Because of Jiang Ning, she was targeted by Mr. Tian and almost couldn't survive in the village.
That dead girl A'ning, who she raised for so many years, turned out to be a white-eyed wolf. After being taken back to the Marquis Mansion, she didn't even give her any money. Mrs. Zhao really couldn't swallow this.
Mrs. Zhao snorted coldly and said, "You secretly go to the Marquis Mansion and send a message to that girl A'ning."
"Ah?" Zhao Da was puzzled, "Are you going to tell A'ning about this? Wouldn't this offend Miss Jiang?"
"You idiot!"
Ms. Zhao pinched Zhao Da's ears and said, "I asked you to send a message to that dead girl and ask for money. If she doesn't give it, everyone will know that she grew up in the countryside!"
"Hmph, that damn girl finally became the daughter of the Marquis Mansion. She definitely doesn't want the scandal from the past to be spread. She will definitely use money to seal our mouths!" Mrs. Zhao was full of calculations, so that she could get more money.
Zhao Da nodded, "Mom is still awesome! I'll go right away!"
Zhao Da felt happy, and his eyes widened when he saw the money.
"Go quickly!" Zhao urged.
Zhao Da hurriedly went out and saw the bustling streets of the capital, which fascinated him.
The aroma of meat and wine in the restaurant filled his mouth with greed.
When passing by Fengchen Street, one girl after another spoke softly and waved her handkerchief to let him in, which tickled his heart and made him want to rush in directly.
"This young master, come in..."
"Come on, the girls in our building will take good care of the young master..."
Zhao Da stared straight at Fengchen Tower, enticed.
As long as he gets money from the Marquis Mansion, he will come here immediately to have fun!
He gritted his teeth and hurried to the Marquis Mansion to deliver the message.
When he arrived at the Marquis Mansion, he didn't dare to look for anyone from the main entrance. We couldn't let Miss Jiang know about this. He had to sneak a message to A'ning.
But he can't let Miss Jiang know that they have other ideas and ask for money.
Jiang Mengyue never thought in her wildest dreams that these people could be so greedy that they would think wrongly.
It happened to be this that made Jiang Ning know Jiang Mengyue's secret plan.
......
Jiang Ning was reading medical books in the room.
Chunlan frowned and walked in, whispering, "Miss, someone is looking for you outside..."
"Who?"
"It's a man named Zhao Da." Chunlan frowned even more. Someone secretly sent a message from the back door, saying that they wanted to see her young lady. When she went out to take a look, she saw a man wearing coarse linen clothes.
The man's eyes were shining brightly, and his gaze was fixed on her, but she was disgusted.
"Zhao Da?" Jiang Ning's face froze and she put down the medical book.
"Yes! He has a sinister look and said he wants to see the lady and tell her something!" Chunlan said angrily. She didn't think he was a good person.
She had seen the coachman Yu Er who usually drove the young lady's carriage. He didn't look like Yu Er's brother.
Jiang Ning's face darkened.
The Zhao family...
She didn't go to trouble the Zhao family, the Zhao family took the initiative to come forward.
Maybe they have forgotten what they have done.
Jiang Ning put the medical book aside with a cold look on her face. The Zhao family did not regard her as a human being and occupied her adoptive parents' ancestral house and fields. They beat and scolded her day and night and made her do rough work.
The root of the disease fell into her body.
Doctor Xue diagnosed the root cause of the disease in her body and asked her to take medicinal baths every day to recuperate, which relieved the symptoms.
Now the Zhao family dared to come to her?
What a shameless family, oh, by the way, they are shameless to begin with.
Chunlan glanced at the young lady's face and said, "I will drive him away right now."
"Wait a minute." Jiang Ning said calmly, "I'll go meet him."
"Miss, this..."
Chunlan wanted to stop her, but Jiang Ning had already stood up and went to see Zhao Da at the back door.
Zhao Da waited for a long time, and the back door creaked open. He turned his head and looked over. He saw Jiang Ning, but he couldn't recognize her for a while.
Zhao Da felt his head was dizzy. The face of the person in front of him was cold, and her body showed indifference and alienation. He could not be related to the dead girl in the countryside. It took him a while to realize.
"Oh, you really flew up the branch and turned into a phoenix! Look at this outfit, it must be worth a lot of money!"
Jiang Ning looked at Zhao Da calmly and said nothing.
Zhao Da said a few words, but did not dare to say any more. For some reason, when he faced the cold eyes of the person in front of him, he felt a chill, as if he was facing the abyss of hell.
He took a small step back, shrinking subconsciously.
Then I thought about what I was afraid of. The person who should be afraid is the dead girl in front of him!
Thinking of this, he took another step forward and said with a smile, "You are so heartless. You have become the daughter of the Marquis Mansion and you don't help your own family... Forget it, stop talking nonsense, give me a thousand taels!"
"One thousand taels should be a small amount to you, right? How can the daughter of the Marquis Mansion not have this little money? If you don’t give me any money, heh, heh, I’ll make a fuss about you growing up in the countryside and let everyone know!"
Jiang Ning looked at Zhao Da coldly, with a calm expression on his face, as if he already knew what he was doing.
She has long experienced the shamelessness of the Zhao family.
It's really no surprise that he came to extort money.
But... how did Zhao Da get to the capital? The journey is long, and if you don’t have money, you won’t be able to reach the capital...
Jiang Ning stared at Zhao Da closely and asked in a cold voice, "How did you get here?"
