Dressed as the villain's stepmother

Mrs. Huang denied it very quickly, but Jiang Lianzhu did not believe it immediately, but continued to look at her like a prisoner.

"The feud between the two of us has been settled before. What's more, if I set fire to that inn, what good will it do to me... I won't get any benefit at all!"

Mrs. Huang was pressed against her neck by the dagger in Jiang Lianzhu's hand, and her voice became increasingly trembling as she spoke.

She was afraid that she might have said something wrong, or that Jiang Lianzhu might not hold the dagger firmly in her hand, and her neck would be cut open.

"Are you sure you can't get any benefits?"

Jiang Lianzhu squinted her eyes, not quite believing what she said.

"If I die, wouldn't it be great news for you?"

"I'm going to run away, why do I care about your life and death!"

Mrs. Huang was really frightened by these questions and answers. Coupled with the irritability in her heart, her voice suddenly became louder.

She had planned to leave ever since she overheard what Huang Xi had done, but these things could not be disclosed to the public, so she found a reason to hide it from everyone. Even the maids around her thought she was responsible. thing.

She had carefully considered what Huang Xi had done. If a commotion really broke out, the nine tribes would definitely be implicated. If she didn't take advantage of this moment to escape quickly, she would be the one who was beheaded.

"Okay, then I believe you on this matter for now, but why are you running away in such a hurry at night?"

Jiang Lianzhu then asked again.

Huang Xi was unusual, and Mrs. Huang's behavior was even more strange. She had never made any news to the public before, but now she suddenly wanted to run for her life. It was impossible to figure out what she was thinking.

"Tsk, don't you already know the reason, and you still want to ask me?" Mrs. Huang glanced at Jiang Lianzhu, "Don't you all know what Huang Xi did? If I don't take advantage of this moment to run away, by then What if I am blamed and beheaded too?"

Mrs. Huang spoke plausibly, but there was still nothing wrong with her words.

"I have wronged myself by following Huang Xi to a place like this. Now I may have to risk my life. Huang Xi didn't save my life in his previous life, so why should I stay with him here? "

After hearing this, Jiang Lianzhu smiled and took the dagger off Mrs. Huang's neck.

Mrs. Huang could clearly feel that the cool feeling on her neck suddenly disappeared, and a big stone in her heart finally fell to the ground.

Jiang Lianzhu is relatively reasonable and would not kill her just because she doesn't care.

"Jiang Lianzhu, just pretend that this incident never happened. You can do whatever you need to do."

After Mrs. Huang broke free from the control, she couldn't wait to start moving the belongings in her house. Seeing Jiang Lianzhu still standing aside, she reluctantly said something to her.

"know."

Jiang Lianzhu agreed casually and had no intention of leaving.

In her heart, there were only those three people who would set fire to the inn.

Now that Mrs. Huang has been ruled out, the next thing he wants to investigate is Huang Xi and Master Qian.

Apart from these two people, she really couldn't think of anyone who would make such a big fuss to retaliate against herself.

However, if he wanted to investigate Huang Xi, there was no need for him to spend so much time.

After all, now that everyone has been caught, it is very simple to ask a question from his mouth, but it is not known whether what Huang Xi said is true or false.

After Jiang Lianzhu thought for a while, she turned to look at Mrs. Huang.

"Where is Huang Xi's study?"

"Just go out from my yard and keep walking forward. You can see it. The location of his study is a little remote."

Mrs. Huang answered quickly, and after saying these words, she ran to the back door holding the things in her hands.

Jiang Lianzhu followed what she said and found Huang Xi's study.

Perhaps because Huang Xi is not in the mansion now, there is only a man dressed as a guard patrolling outside the study.

Jiang Lianzhu sneaked in from the dark, knocked the man unconscious, and then entered the study.

She rummaged around on the table and soon found a letter. After opening it, there was a lot written in it, but after reading it from beginning to end, most of it was reporting on what she had done recently.

In addition to sending people to the iron mine to hand over and urge them, they also sent people to burn down the inn.

The more Jiang Lianzhu saw the back, the clearer it became, and then she put the letter into her sleeve.

When Jiang Lianzhu escaped from the back door, Mrs. Huang was still moving things with her maids.

They were about to move all the things when the sound of horse hooves interrupted all their movements. Mrs. Huang asked the maid next to her to hold the candlestick. She wanted to scold the visitor, but she saw Huang Xi's carriage. Stop directly in front of you.

"What are you packing now?"

After Huang Xi got off the carriage, he immediately frowned and asked.

On the carriage behind Mrs. Huang, there were countless boxes of various sizes piled up, and it was obvious that they were packing them up like this.

"Master... we were thinking of going to a temple in the suburbs to offer incense. He won't be able to catch the good time tomorrow morning, so we came here late at night to clean up."

Mrs. Huang was full of lies, and she didn't care whether what she said was believable or not, as long as she could be fooled for the time being.

Huang Xi has been forced into this situation, so he definitely won't think too much about it.

"What kind of temple are you going to? You're worried that you won't be able to catch the good time, so you have to come and clean it up at this time?"

Huang Xi frowned fiercely and pointed at several boxes placed in front of him.

"Don't think that I don't know what's in your box. Your little thoughts are not enough for me to see!"

Although Huang Xi hadn't said it clearly yet, the meaning behind his words was already very clear.

Mrs. Huang wanted to run away this time, and he had already figured out the person's purpose.

"I caused so many troubles outside before, and now I have to leave when something happens... You are quite capable."

Huang Xi stepped forward, clamped Madam Huang's chin, and spoke aggressively.

"Do you think you can just walk away now? If the people above really take note of it, you won't be able to hide anywhere in the world!"

"I--"

Before Mrs. Huang could speak, Huang Xi slapped her in the face again.

"Why are you still writing ink? Don't embarrass yourself here!"
