Jiang Yimian said calmly, "We're not bad people. You'd better not call out, or I can't guarantee what we might do."
Chen Shaofu glanced at the curved dagger in the other person's hand, her eyes widening in fear. Meeting the threat in the eyes of the two people in front of her, she hurriedly nodded in panic.
Jiang Yimian then let go of his hand, picked up the dusty money bag on the table, and laughed out loud, "A mere half a tael of silver is enough to move you so much?"
She thought Jiang Yaoguang still had some feelings for her child, but now it seems he doesn't.
Chen Shaofu didn't care at all, she just stared intently at the two people in front of her and said nervously, "What do you want to do? I will not let you hurt my husband."
Jiang Yimian chuckled softly, staring at the pitiful and foolish person in front of her.
She changed her mind, which originally only wanted to call off the marriage between Jiang Yaoguang and the Song family.
It seems that simply ruining the marriage is not enough; at the very least, the true nature of the other party should be revealed, the person in front of us should be brought to their senses, and the hopes of the second wife's family should be crushed one by one.
Just like when Jiang Yaoguang led his troops to find Jiang Qingyuan, they shattered his hopes, had Jiang Qingyuan captured by the troops, and thrown onto the battlefield to physically block the rebels.
Just like how the eldest son's family was left in the village by the second son's family, left only to wait to die.
She wanted these people to experience the feeling of hope followed by despair.
The second wife's biggest hope right now is that Jiang Yaoguang can successfully marry Song Miaoyin.
She wanted Jiang Yaoguang to ruin this opportunity himself.
Thinking it over, she only spoke softly: "Your beloved husband is about to get married to the Song family's daughter. You are a considerable threat to him now."
Guess what he'll do to you?
Jiang Yimian spoke calmly, as if asking the other person when they would eat.
But Chen Shaofu's eyes widened suddenly, somewhat incredulous. "You, you're talking nonsense! How could my husband marry someone else? Who are you, and what do you want?"
Although she and Jiang Yaoguang only had a simple wedding ceremony on their way to escape famine, which could be considered an unconventional union, the situation was special at that time, and there were too many such things on the way to escape famine.
Compared to others, she at least liked Jiang Yaoguang, who was her acknowledged husband.
Jiang Yimian continued, "His claim of being trapped by the Zhang family because of debts is false; his real intention is to get involved with the Song family's daughter and abandon you."
He was only with you for the Chen family's money; you should have realized that.
The original owner knew about Jiang Yaoguang and Chen Shaofu because she accidentally bumped into the two of them talking intimately in an alley in town.
That scene was too shocking for her at the time, so it remained in her mind. However, many things happened later that made the memory gradually fade.
It wasn't until she saw Jiang Yaoguang last time that she remembered him again.
Chen Shaofu stood there stunned, her face paling slightly, but she still stared intently at the two people in front of her and said warily, "You, you can't talk nonsense. How could my husband be such a person?"
He's trapped in the Zhang family's house because of debts. I don't know who this Song family you're talking about is. Quick, get out of here, or I'll report you to the authorities for trespassing.
After saying that, he picked up a broom from the house and was about to hit Jiang Yimian.
Jiang Yimian didn't move, remaining calmly seated in her chair. Her words, however, were cold and almost heartless: "I am Jiang Yaoguang's cousin. If you don't believe me, you can go to the Song family in the west of the city and ask them. Then you'll know whether what I said is true or false."
No sooner had she finished speaking than the broom flew straight at her.
Just as she was about to dodge, she was pulled into someone's arms and flew out of the window.
Lu Cijian wrapped his arms around the girl's slender waist, his gaze cold as he looked at the people in the room, his eyes full of dissatisfaction.
Jiang Yimian continued speaking to the people in the room, "If you test my cousin tomorrow, you'll find out the truth."
After saying that, she didn't say anything more and left with Lu Cijian.
Chen Shaofu stared blankly at the wide-open window, her mind filled with memories of her time with Jiang Yaoguang.
On one hand, she didn't want to believe Jiang Yimian's words, but on the other hand, she kept recalling the day she unexpectedly met Jiang Yaoguang on the street, the carriage he was riding in, and his flustered and nervous expression, which seemed to be accompanied by a hint of disgust.
It wasn't that he was afraid of implicating her, but rather that he was afraid she would discover something, or that others would find out about their relationship.
At the time, she was immersed in the joy of the reunion and thought it was just an illusion, but now, looking back, Jiang Yaoguang didn't feel any joy when he saw her.
She knew about Jiang Yaoguang's deliberate approach before they fled the famine; her brother and parents had also said that he was after the Chen family's money.
She could actually tell, after all, Jiang Yaoguang was still wearing a faded long gown at that time, and the writing brushes, ink, paper and inkstones he bought were of the lowest quality.
But the other party treated her very well, so she didn't care about the money.
But when those two mentioned it, she felt a chill run down her spine.
If Jiang Yaoguang could approach her for money, why wouldn't he approach others for money when she was penniless?
The other person is very skilled, isn't they? They know how to please her.
The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became. She quickly cleared her mind of all thoughts and murmured as if to comfort herself, "No, it's impossible. How could my husband lie to me? Those two must be talking nonsense. I don't believe it, I don't believe it."

The next day, when Jiang Yimian woke up, the sun was already high in the sky. After a quick wash, she stepped out of the room and was met with Zhao Dashu's scrutinizing gaze.
The other person gave her a strange look and asked curiously, "Sister Mian, did you and Brother Cijian go thievery last night? Why do you both have bruises in your eyes?"
As soon as he said that, everyone in the courtyard burst into laughter.
Wang Fengqin looked at Jiang Yimian, then at Lu Cijian, and said with a smile, "Yeah, what's wrong with you two? You both look like you didn't sleep well."
As Chen Yu and her brother cleaned the house, they observed the two men, their faces full of doubt.
They remembered that Sister Yi Mian went to bed quite early last night, so why did she still look like she hadn't woken up properly?
Jiang Yimian was taken aback. Before she could speak, she heard a clear, cold voice nod and say, "Yes, we're going to steal together."
Lu Cijian spoke seriously, his handsome face with its sharp features showing no ambiguity, leaving everyone stunned.
Jiang Yimian's eyes widened in surprise. Remembering her teasing words from last night, she choked on her own saliva and coughed a few times. "Cough cough cough, it's just, it's just, I didn't sleep well."
Wang Fengqin just smiled and said, "Alright, I won't tease you anymore. There's some food keeping warm in the kitchen, you two go and eat."
After saying that, he went to the backyard to feed the chickens.
Zhao Dashu also went straight to the thatched hut in front to help.
Chen Yu and his sister were busy cleaning the house, clearly not taking Lu Cijian's words to heart.
Jiang Yimian breathed a sigh of relief, but when she looked up, she met Lu Cijian's smiling face, which made her glare at him in anger.
What kind of thief are you talking about? She has important business to attend to. This person is talking nonsense.
