Dressed as the villain's stepmother

Jiang Lianzhu was walking in the county town. She was anxious when she came, but now she feels in a good mood.

Mrs. Huang had been a little intolerable before. If it weren't for her maid repeatedly trying to dissuade her, she would probably break up with her.

It was precisely because of her mentality that she made this matter more serious so that they would remember it for a long time.

Next spring, Jiang Lianzhu planned to open a shop in the county town, so she was not in a hurry to leave now. Instead, she walked around all the vacated shops in the thread, and finally picked a shop away from the bustling city. is further away.

She went to find the shop owner. Seeing that she was young, the man was still doubtful when he took her into the shop to look at it.

"Is the girl here to look at the shop for herself, or is she here to help others?"

The leader was a man, dressed very ordinary, and at first glance he could tell that he was an honest man.

"I came here to buy a shop for myself. After looking down the road, I felt that your shop is particularly suitable for me."

Jiang Lianzhu also told the truth.

She had indeed considered opening a shop on the busiest street before, but firstly, she considered the rent there, and secondly, she considered the special nature of the things she sold.

For things like hand cream, as long as the product's extremely good effects are known to others, many people will naturally come to it without dissing the distance of the store.

He would even buy a lot of them during one visit and store them in his own home for later use.

In this way, the rent will be reduced and you will not suffer too much loss in business.

"The girl is definitely interested in my room?" The man still didn't believe it.

Nowadays, there are fewer and fewer people doing business in the county, and there are many other vacant shops. The location is naturally better than mine, although the rent is also rising.

But Jiang Lianzhu didn't look like a person who was short of money when it came to dressing up, so why did he choose this room of his own?

"Of course it's for sure. Why I chose it is based on my own considerations. You just need to tell me whether this shop is for rent or not?"

"rental."

The man gave a vague answer after a while.

"But when do you want the girl?"

"It's not that urgent. Just give me this shop in the spring next year."

Jiang Lianzhu didn't care about the man's discomfort, but began to carefully look at the decorations and furnishings in the shop.

It can be used directly with a few modifications, and it doesn't mean that you have to go to war.

The man was silent for a moment, then took out the paper and pen he brought specially and wrote down a land deed. After confirming that there was no problem with the land, Jiang Lianzhu pressed his fingerprint and handed part of the rent to the man.

"I will naturally come to you to get the key in the spring of next year."

Jiang Lianzhu folded the land deed and put it into her sleeve, and spoke to the man.

"it is good."

The man responded, and after Jiang Lianzhu left, he used a lock to lock the door of the shop, and then turned around and entered an alley.

The way back to the village was really a long way. Jiang Lianzhu wanted to rent a carriage, but couldn't find one suitable.

Finally, I saw a slightly ragged coachman on the side of the road. After discussing the price, I got on the carriage.

There was almost no rest last night. Jiang Lianzhu closed her eyes slightly in the carriage, but she didn't really fall asleep.

She could feel that the carriage was getting bumpier and bumpier. The road back to the village was indeed difficult for a while, but it was definitely not as bumpy as it was and it couldn't last that long -

Jiang Lianzhu opened her eyes suddenly, opened the curtain and took a look outside. This was not the way back to the village at all.

She has no idea where she is now!

Jiang Lianzhu pursed her lips and took out a dagger from the arsenal.

In order not to attract the attention of the coachman, she specially took the lightest one. When the coachman was not paying attention, she opened the curtain of the carriage and put the dagger directly on the coachman's neck.

"you……"

The coachman suddenly panicked, holding the reins tightly in his hands and not daring to move at all.

He is not a martial arts practitioner, he just got benefits from others, so he came to do this kind of thing.

"Where are you taking me now?"

Jiang Lianzhu squinted her eyes and saw that the coachman's whole body had become extremely stiff. He must have been frightened by his own threat.

"I...I don't know where to take the girl, but someone gave me a sum of money and told me to go southeast after the girl got on the carriage. As for where, I haven't said yet. clear."

The driver replied with a trembling voice, trying to use his shoulders to remove Jiang Lianzhu's arm from pressing against him.

"Girl, I also use people's money to do things for others. Even if you kill me now, there is nothing I can do..."

"Don't worry, I don't have the habit of killing people casually."

After Jiang Lianzhu was sure that the driver was not lying, she took the dagger back.

The only thing she wasn't sure about now was who asked the coachman to do this.

Now in this wilderness, even if you turn around and go back, you may not be able to find the way you came. It is better to just let the driver pull you all the way to the southeast, and you may still be able to see the person who is causing trouble behind the scenes.

Jiang Lianzhu was still sitting firmly in the carriage, as if she had never noticed anything was wrong.

The coachman did not dare to say anything, for fear that he would offend the evil god inside the carriage.

The carriage stopped half an hour later, and before Jiang Lianzhu opened the curtain, the coachman had already disappeared.

She held the dagger she had selected from the arsenal tightly, boldly stepped out of the carriage, and faced five guards in black.

The five people all had an identical token hanging on their waists, which was obviously sent by one person.

"Who are you from?"

Jiang Lianzhu stood by the carriage and didn't make any move. She just looked at them from beginning to end, her eyes especially falling on the token.

She can guarantee that she has never seen anything like this before. In this case, it is impossible to say that it was sent by someone familiar.

"We've already reached this point, what's the use of asking us these questions?"

One of them answered with a hoarse voice, and then rushed to Jiang Lianzhu. He held a long sword in his hand, and he was about to slash it at her.

Jiang Lianzhu just turned sideways and plunged the dagger into the horse's leg. The horse raised its front hoof and stepped down hard, crushing the man's bones.
