The black-bellied peasant girl is reborn, and her weird relatives are mad

No matter how Zhou Huaihua struggled, she could not get free from her knees, and the bowl of medicine had already entered her stomach.

Jiang Muxia was afraid that she would vomit, so he waited for a moment before pushing his chin up and then letting her go.

Zhou Huaihua, who was free from her restraints, started cursing loudly. Her voice was hoarse like a bellows with a hole in it, and her words were incoherent. One could only hear her roaring, but it was impossible to make out what she was saying.

Jiang Muxia threw the bowl on the table, picked up a stool, lowered his head and stared at her with a faint smile, "Don't you like to talk? You can't read a single word. I just want to make you unable to speak or write, so that you can become a mute and have no place to complain. How about it? Do you like the gift I gave you?"

Zhou Huaihua dug her throat with her hands, trying to spit out the medicine she had swallowed, but it was too late.

Zhou Huaihua glared at her, pointed at her, and cursed.

"Behave yourself. If I soften my heart someday, I might give you a bowl of antidote. If she still refuses to change her ways, next time, I will cut off your tongue, shave your hair, and throw you into the mountains to become a nun."

"Also, I know you heard about the incident at Tianji Chaoguan from somewhere else. If someone finds you and wants to use you to harm me, I advise you to refuse directly, otherwise, what I just said will definitely come true. You are a smart person and you will make the choice between living a peaceful life in Xigang Village or being thrown into the mountains by me."

She dared to conclude that after this incident, Zhou Huaihua was a person who valued life the most and would never joke about the rest of his life.

As he spoke, Jiang Muxia grabbed her collar and dragged her towards the restaurant door.

When she was almost at the door, she stopped, helped Zhou Huaihua tidy up her dirty clothes, and took her hand to walk her out of the ferry.

She held the umbrella in one hand and held Zhou Huaihua with the other. Her fingers pinched Zhou Huaihua's palm tightly. As long as she showed any resistance, she would increase her strength. Zhou Huaihua did not dare to move due to the pain and had to follow her obediently.

The two arrived in front of the South City Gate. Jiang Muxia let go of her hand, looked at her with a warning, and then went back to the restaurant.

When we returned to the restaurant, the kitchen had already been cleaned up and all the doors and windows were open for ventilation.

After closing the door of the restaurant, she walked to the tavern. The food was still untouched and no one picked up their chopsticks. They sat quietly at the table waiting for her.

"How is she? Is she safe?" There was some worry in Qi's eyes. One was her granddaughter and the other was her daughter-in-law. She would feel uneasy if either of them was hurt.

"Don't worry, she won't dare to come here again. She has always cherished her life and is not stupid. She knows that I dare to poison and mute her, so I dare to shave her head and throw her into an ancient temple in the mountains. I'm afraid that grandpa and uncle will come to seek justice for her." Jiang Muxia's eyes were calm. She picked up the chopsticks and asked everyone to start eating.

"Come on if you want. No one in the county knows about your family's affairs. They are the ones who are embarrassed." Li Jiyi said nonchalantly.

After lunch, Qiu Qingshan suggested going home. Lu Zhaoxia and her husband avoided her gaze and did not dare to look at her.

She understood their concerns; no one would want to use their own flesh and blood as a target for others.

It was not what she wanted, but she understood and accepted it.

Didn't take their decision to heart.

Before leaving, he pulled Jiang Muxia aside and told her his plan with a guilty look on his face.

"Brother Qingshan, don't feel guilty. I didn't agree to push Zhizhi to the front as a target. If Tang Zhongbai finds you to lobby, you must not agree to him."

"Okay." Qiu Qingshan hurriedly left with his parents and children, completely ignoring Lu Chaoyun's attempts to keep him.

Only Jiang Muxia knew that they didn't want to stay, but they left because they felt guilty and ashamed to stay.

Until it was completely dark, she still hadn't seen Tang Zhongbai and his companions. Even Xu Da had disappeared. Suanzao came to learn and ask for advice, but couldn't find him.

The drizzle turned into heavy rain at the hour of Hai, accompanied by the sound of wind.

Jiang Muxia lay in bed, unable to fall asleep for a long time. She went to Tang's house, and found only Nanny Jiang at home.

She couldn't guess whether he was in the yamen or somewhere else, and the windy and rainy weather really made her worried.

It was Nanny Jiang who persuaded her to come back on the grounds that he was busy with official duties.

The road ahead is covered with thorns. If you are not careful, you will fall to the ground, covered with bruises and your life will be in danger.

Finally, she couldn't lie still any longer, so she turned over and sat up, lit the oil lamp, and prepared to go out.

"Sister, why are you up so late at night?" Jiang Mutao, who was woken up, asked while rubbing her eyes.

"I forgot one thing. I'm going out for a while. Don't tell mom and dad. I'll be back soon."

She quickly changed into a nightgown, and despite her sister's attempts to stop her, she opened the door and disappeared into the windy and rainy night.

She jumped over the wall of her house and ran straight to the county government office in the west of the city.

It was pitch dark at night, and she relied on her familiarity with the streets, following the lanterns in front of the shops that were half-lit by the wind and rain, and walked along the walls of the street. The rain hit her body, like ice knives, cold and painful.

She walked around the gate of the county government office and headed towards the back of the office.

She heard from Tang Zhongbai that the three members of the Feng family all lived in the backyard of the county government office. When she passed by the gate of the county government office, it was closed and there was no light. The officials had all gone home.

But Tang Zhongbai is not at home now, where could he have gone?

Without having time to think about Tang Zhongbai, her eyes tightened and she came to the outer wall of the backyard of the county government office.

It was pitch black in here, and she could vaguely see a small door on the back wall.

She hurried to the small door and peeked inside through the crack. There was only the sound of wind and rain in the yard, and the only light came from the main room.

She was delighted that Feng Nian was indeed at home.

Now he was the only one in the backyard, which was a good opportunity for her to take action.

She tiptoed and jumped from the wall into the yard. Taking advantage of the cover of wind and rain, she trotted to the window of the main room.

There were voices talking inside the house. Jiang Muxia's heart skipped a beat. Who would stay in Feng Nian's house in the middle of the night when it was windy and rainy?

She held her breath and listened carefully, only to find that the voices were those of a man and a woman in the house.

Perhaps because it was a stormy night, the two people's voices were not concealed.

She heard every word clearly.

First, Feng Nian spoke respectfully, "The immortal servant came here in the middle of the night, I think it's something important."

Then came a clear voice, which made Jiang Muxia feel somewhat familiar. When she thought about it carefully, her eyes lit up. It turned out to be the maid who took her to the side room of the back hall that day.

Jiang Muxia's face darkened and he clenched his fists. Feng Nian had indeed seduced the Goddess of Tianji.

Not knowing what they wanted Feng Nian to do, she suppressed her anger and forced herself to calm down and listen to their conversation.

The maid's voice was cold, "There are now nineteen children imprisoned in the temple. The goddess has already done something to them. Tomorrow she will send their parents to take them all away. Seven days later, a strange disease will start in Xing'an Town and Xinxing Town in the north of the city. The goddess will personally diagnose the children who died first and confirm that the cause of the disease came from the children. What you have to do is to put the blame on Jiang Muxia. On the day of praying for rain, the people saw that it was she who sent the children to the back hall to bandage their wounds. It is very convincing that she poisoned the children. We have to take advantage of this issue to divert attention and put the blame on her. Only if she falls, Tang Zhongbai will naturally have no time to worry about the affairs of the yamen. By then, no one will stop us from doing this."

Jiang Muxia broke out in a cold sweat, it was exactly the same as what Yin Yusheng said.

She continued listening, and the following words were Feng Nian asking questions to the maid.

Until the immortal servant assured him that after the success, he would help him to rise to great heights and achieve great things.

Jiang Muxia pinched her palms and cursed inwardly, "Old thief, you got away with it tonight."

She left in a hurry and went to find Tang Zhongbai to tell him the information she had heard so that she could make arrangements.
