Jiang Li passed the Hongqu Canal and walked towards the General's Mansion without even giving her a glance.

The sudden change made Hongqu's eyes widen in disbelief.

???

Is this the young lady? !

Hongqu was full of questions and couldn't believe Jiang Li's attitude towards her.

Jiang Li was bent on pleasing Madam Zhou and always obeyed her orders, not daring to say a word against her. Hong Qu, as Madam Zhou's head maid, often gave Jiang Li the cold shoulder, but Jiang Li endured it silently and did not dare to offend her.

Over time, Hongqu got used to ordering Jiang Li around, and as a maid, she enjoyed it! When Hongqu came from the main hall, she had already thought of a way to make Jiang Li grateful to her, and to ask for some benefits from her, but Jiang Li's sudden change made Hongqu feel uncomfortable.

Hongqu gritted her teeth, turned her head and looked sinisterly at Jiang Li who was walking into the mansion. She hadn't recovered yet and immediately followed him, panting heavily.

"Young Madam, wait for me!"

Jiang Li kept walking, pretending not to hear Hongqu's dog barking behind her.

When the two figures appeared in Mrs. Zhou's sight one after another, her eyes lit up. She wanted to stand up to greet them, but in the end she sat back down.

Mrs. Zhou looked at Jiang Li with displeasure, as if she wanted to stare a hole in her.

If she didn't teach this little bitch a lesson today, she would probably ignore her in the future! Going to the Jiang Mansion to get something was so slow, making her wait for a long time. It was really unreasonable!

The daughters of merchants just don't follow the rules! When they arrived at the main hall, Hong Qu quickened her pace and walked in first, heading straight towards Madam Zhou who was sitting in the main seat.

When she came to Mrs. Zhou's side, she bent down and whispered something. It was unknown what she said, but Mrs. Zhou looked at Jiang Li with even more displeasure.

Jiang Li naturally noticed Madam Zhou's gaze and walked to the main hall without changing her expression. Just as she stepped into the main hall, Madam Zhou's voice sounded in front of her.

"Why did you come back at this time?"

Mrs. Zhou frowned and asked, while Hongqu stood beside Mrs. Zhou and looked at Jiang Li with a smug look on his face, as if to say, "You dare to ignore me? Let me show you how I will let you deal with me."

Jiang Li simply ignored the displeasure in Mrs. Zhou's eyes and found a seat to sit down.

Mrs. Zhou widened her eyes in disbelief, unable to believe that Jiang Li dared to ignore her.

"Hey, you little bitch, I'm asking you a question. Is this how you treat your mother-in-law? The daughter raised by the Jiang family is really uneducated!"

Jiang Li looked at Madam Zhou with a gloomy look: "Open your mouth, little hoof, close your mouth, little hoof, I don't see how the education of the general's mansion is good."

"You, you, you dare to talk back to me?"

Mrs. Zhou sat up straight abruptly and looked at Jiang Li as if she had seen a ghost.

Hong Qu was also shocked. She never expected that Jiang Li's attitude towards her would change 180 degrees after she just returned to the Jiang Mansion. Now she even dared to contradict the lady!

"I'm just telling the truth, why are you contradicting me?"

Jiang Li did not answer but asked instead, looking at Madam Zhou with a half-smile, completely different from her previous humble and fawning attitude.

No matter how she looked at Jiang Li, she did not feel guilty at all. The original owner was a free and easy person, but after marrying into the general's mansion, she was infatuated with love and became humble. Therefore, she was not worried at all that Mrs. Zhou would see any clues.

Sure enough, after a careful examination, Mrs. Zhou could tell something was wrong. The person was still the same person, but he gave her a somewhat unfamiliar feeling.

"What's the matter, mother-in-law, that you asked me to come here? If nothing else, I'll go back first."

Jiang Li yawned, and then stood up without paying attention to Mrs. Zhou's murderous expression.

Snap——

Madam Zhou slammed her hand on the table and shouted, "Stop! Did I let you go?"

Jiang Li paused and raised her eyebrows: "It's getting dark, if I don't leave, will you give me food?"

Since marrying into the general's mansion, Jiang Li has been eating alone in Nanyuan and has not been at the same table with Madam Zhou and others.

Mrs. Zhou wanted to seize Jiang Li's property, but at the same time she disliked her identity as a merchant's daughter. As the saying goes, out of sight, out of mind. She only let Jiang Li to the front yard when she needed her. The rest of the time, Jiang Li stayed in Nanyuan to learn needlework, chess, calligraphy and painting, which were the skills of young ladies from aristocratic families.

Madam Zhou was very concerned about her reputation and usually liked to chat with the ladies from aristocratic families. She was afraid that the ladies from aristocratic families would bring up Jiang Li's identity and embarrass the General's Mansion, so she ordered her to learn more from the ladies from aristocratic families and stay out of public view.

Mrs. Zhou choked when she heard this, her eyebrows twitching, and she was afraid that she would faint from anger, so she took two deep breaths.

Seeing that Jiang Li was about to go out again, Madam Zhou hurriedly asked in a deep voice: "Have you got the deed to the clothing store in the south of the city?"

Jiang Li went to the Jiang Mansion today because she was dragged by Madam Zhou to ask Jiang's father for the title deed of the clothing store in the south of the city.

In the morning, when Mrs. Zhou was having a small gathering with those ladies from wealthy families, she heard them talking about the ready-made clothing shop in the south of the city. They praised the shop for its wide variety of clothing styles and fine workmanship. They also said that Mrs. Zhou was lucky to have the daughter of the richest man in Jiangnan as her daughter-in-law, so she would not have to worry about clothes and jewelry in the future, as she would have as many as she wanted.

Mrs. Zhou was flattered by everyone's praise and enjoyed the envy from everyone. In order to keep everyone praising her, she boasted that the shop had now been transferred to her name and that she could give discounts to the ladies when they came to the shop to buy clothes in the future.

You always have to make up for what you boast about.

However, Mrs. Zhou was not afraid of the strong wind blowing her tongue. She wanted the deed to the shop, but it was just a matter of words. After returning home, she called Jiang Li and asked her to go back to the Jiang Mansion to get the deed.

Jiang Li turned and looked at Mrs. Zhou: "The deed has always been with me."

Mrs. Zhou's eyes lit up: "Hurry up and take it out!"

"But I forgot where I put it. I was thinking about it when I came back just now, but now I'm annoyed by my mother-in-law's noisy voice and I've forgotten it. I'll go back and have a sleep first. Maybe I'll remember it after I've rested enough."

Jiang Li crossed her arms over her chest and spoke in a tone that was so infuriating that it was impossible to stop her.

"you!"

"If you have nothing else to say, mother-in-law, I will take my leave now."

Jiang Li didn't give Mrs. Zhou a chance to speak. She turned and walked towards the door. Just as she was about to step out of the room, she suddenly stopped.

"By the way, I am the only one who knows where the land deed is. Others can't find it even if they dig three feet underground. I hope mother-in-law won't waste her efforts. I have always been a leaky mouth. If one day I accidentally expose mother-in-law's lies in front of those ladies, tut tut..."
