Wu Lian lowered her eyes and glanced at the bag of silver coins on the ground. It would be a lie to say that she was not moved. Although Wu's father and Wu Lian depended on each other, Wu's father was not an easy person to get along with. He kept Wu Lian by his side because there was really no one to take care of him.

Wu Lian did not have deep feelings for her father and even wished that her father would die sooner.

If his death could bring more benefits to Wu Lian, it would be the best. But now things haven't been done yet, and I guess he won't be able to get the money later.

But the identity of that person is not someone Wu Lian can afford to offend. Wu Lian is a smart person who can see the benefits more clearly and distinguish the priorities.

"I know you don't dare to offend the person behind you. So, when I ask you, you just need to nod or shake your head." Jiang Chuyue said when he saw Wu Lian's hesitation.

Wu Lian hesitated and nodded. Seeing that Wu Lian was willing to cooperate, Jiang Chuyue's expression eased a little. "The person who ordered you was Shen Tang?"

Aunt Zhang and Aunt Wang opened their eyes wide. They never thought that this matter was related to the village chief's daughter, Shen Tang.

Seeing that Aunt Wang was a little excited, Aunt Zhang pulled Aunt Wang and made her calm down a little.

The two of them stared at Wu Lian in unison, paying attention to her movements. After seeing Wu Lian slowly nodded, Aunt Zhang and Aunt Wang felt a little confused.

Jiang Chuyue didn't want to care about their little thoughts. Seeing that Wu Lian was still cooperating, she continued, "Does she want your father to die in my hands, and then use this to make me pay for my life?"

Wu Lian stiffened her neck and nodded. Although she didn't want to admit it, this was indeed what Shen Tang had originally told her. Now that the intended victim asked calmly, Wu Lian couldn't help but wonder if Jiang Chuyue had known from the beginning that this was a trap.

No wonder she brought people with her, no wonder she deliberately delayed time on the road, now it all makes sense.

Wu Lian slumped down a bit, knowing that the matter was already settled. She said in a hoarse voice, "Sister Jiang, I was confused for a moment and believed what others said. I wanted to harm you, but I didn't really want to harm you."

After a pause, seeing that Jiang Chuyue didn't say anything, he continued, "Sister Jiang, please spare my life and save my life."

"Save your life?" Jiang Chuyue sneered, "How can I be so capable as to save your life?"

Wu Lian was a little anxious. "Sister Jiang, now that I have betrayed Shen Tang and you have fallen out with her, she will definitely not let me go. She is the daughter of the village chief and has absolute power in Wanshan Village. I am just a woman without the protection of my family. They can kill me like an ant."

Jiang Chuyue pulled the corner of her clothes back, "But what does this have to do with me?"

When Wu Lian was trying to frame her, she thought of this.

It was too late to show weakness and beg for her protection now.

Jiang Chuyue turned and left. Wu Lian immediately became anxious and rushed forward, hugging Jiang Chuyue's legs. "Sister Jiang, please spare my life!"

Her voice was not small, and if she continued to scream like that, it would definitely alarm others.

Jiang Chuyue had a headache. She kicked Wu Lian away and said, "I have no evidence that Shen Tang made a deal with you. How can I break off relations with Shen Tang?"

She didn't want to have any more contact with a stupid person like Wu Lian, so this was all she could remind her of.

Wu Lian looked at Jiang Chuyue's receding back in a daze, and finally understood what she meant. She grabbed the change left by Jiang Chuyue, opened the string with trembling hands, and saw that there was quite a bit of silver inside, about three or four taels, enough for Wu Lian to live on.

"Sister Jiang, was what Wu Lian said just now true?" Aunt Wang couldn't hold back her curiosity and gossiped.

Aunt Zhang didn't hold Aunt Wang back for a moment, and smiled embarrassedly, "Stop talking." She lowered her voice to remind Aunt Wang.

"Who knows?" Jiang Chuyue had recovered from the repeated false accusations made by Shen Tang. "Maybe Wu Lian deliberately framed her?"

The extreme sarcasm in her words made it hard to tell what she meant.

"However, I hope Aunt Wang won't tell anyone about this. Otherwise, if we really offend the village chief, our Xiao family will have a hard time." Jiang Chuyue still remembered that this matter must not be spread.

"I know everything, don't worry." Although Aunt Wang was a big talker, she knew the seriousness of the matter. Not to mention how much Jiang Chuyue had helped her, just because she spread this news and the village chief found out about it in the future, their Wang family would not have a good life.

After everything was arranged, Jiang Chuyue went home, went straight into her room, fell directly onto the Simmons mattress in the space, and began to sleep soundly.

Originally she thought that the most terrifying thing about coming to this world was the original ending of the original owner, but she didn't expect that there would be so many troubles. Jiang Chuyue felt so tired that she just wanted to be a waste, but no one allowed her to be a waste.

I couldn't help feeling a little irritated.

On the other side, Xiao Yihao learned the whole development of the matter from Aunt Zhang. He was relieved to know that Jiang Chuyue was not framed by Wu Lian and Shen Tang's tricks.

"Oh." It was Aunt Zhang who sighed. She felt a headache when she thought about this matter. Wu Gang, who had always been a man of few words, couldn't help but say more.

"Sister Jiang and Brother Xiao both have their own plans, so we just need to follow their arrangements."

Aunt Zhang rolled her eyes at Wu Gang and said, "Of course I know."

But she was really worried. Shen Tang was so dissatisfied with Jiang Chuyue that he even wanted to take her life. If this continued, could Jiang Chuyue really be as lucky as she is today and avoid traps again and again?

Speaking of which, Jiang Chuyue was indeed lucky today.

Aunt Zhang was not the only one who thought so. Jiang Chuyue also felt that she was really lucky. She delayed time to figure out what to do next, but she never thought that when she arrived, Father Wu had already died.

And if she was not mistaken, Wu's father should have died not long before they arrived.

This was so lucky that it was a little strange. Jiang Chuyue couldn't help but wonder if someone was secretly helping her.

But when she arrived, there seemed to be nothing wrong with the furnishings in the house, the doors and windows were closed, and it didn't look like anyone had been in. She guessed she was overthinking it.

Jiang Chuyue sat in front of the dressing table with her chin propped up, and simply stopped thinking about things she couldn't figure out.

After enjoying herself for a while, Jiang Chuyue came out of the space reluctantly. As soon as she opened the door, she was met with several pairs of worried eyes.

"Don't worry, I'm fine." Jiang Chuyue yawned.

"Aunt Zhang makes freshly made meat buns, come and try them." Xiao Yihao greeted.

Jiang Chuyue pulled the two children to the dining table, grabbed a meat bun that had just come out of the pot, and took a big bite.
