Chapter 83: Too Much Bullying
Xie Rongying sat down next to Jiang Zhulan with a smile on her lips, and Dongxue also placed the brocade box in front of Jiang.
Jiang stared at Xie Rongying in confusion: "What are you going to do, girl?"
"I heard from my grandmother that Aunt Lan hasn't been in good health, so I found a hundred-year-old ginseng in my father's storehouse for her." Xie Rongying opened the brocade box and continued jokingly, "The person in charge of my father's storehouse said it was a hundred-year-old ginseng. In fact, only this ginseng knows whether it is a hundred years old or not. Regardless of whether it is a hundred years old or not, it should be able to nourish Aunt Lan."
Jiang looked at the ginseng placed in the brocade box. How could she not see that it was top quality stuff?
She also knew Xie Rongying's intentions towards her.
Originally, Jiang intended to make Xie Rongying his daughter-in-law. After all, she was the daughter of his childhood friend, whom he had watched grow up, and they were childhood sweethearts.
If it weren't for the fact that the Dongchang Marquisate was in mourning, Jiang would have brought her son to the Xie family to propose marriage.
It was precisely because of this mourning period that Jiang Ling got there first.
"Rong'er is always so thoughtful." Jiang closed the brocade box and handed it to the person next to her. She then looked at Xie Rongying and said, "You must have suffered a lot of injustice in the Yongyi Marquis' Mansion, right?"
"No." Xie Rongying laughed, "Thank you Aunt Lan for what happened today."
Although Jiang Shi didn't know what Xie Rongying was going to do, she would definitely not refuse this girl's help: "Why did your father give Wanmiao Village to Jiang Shi?"
Xie Rongying lowered her eyes and said, "The people of Wanmiao Village have long forgotten who allowed them to live the peaceful life they do today. They only know that the prosperity of Wanmiao Village is entirely due to them. They are a bunch of ungrateful bastards who dare to step on their master's head. If they are not taught a lesson, they will think that the Xie family is really afraid of them."
"Want to teach them a lesson through Madam Jiang?" Madam Jiang didn't quite understand Xie Rongying's approach. "What are you planning on doing by having Aunt Lan bring Madam Tang along?"
Xie Rongying smiled faintly, "The wife of the Marquis Dingguo would never want my mother-in-law to have a good life. She must have embellished her story about my mother-in-law acquiring Wanmiao Village from the Xie family so that many people would know that my mother-in-law had benefited from the Xie family."
After hearing this, Jiang Shi could vaguely guess what Xie Rongying was going to do. She asked tentatively, "Everyone knows that Wanmiao Village has fallen into Jiang Ling's hands. If anything happens to those servants in the future, it will have nothing to do with the Xie family."
"Almost." Xie Rongying nodded.
What she didn't say was that the Xie family would be completely blamed for anything that happened in Wanmiao Village.
It's just a contest between a group of greedy people and the greedy Jiang family.
A contest where whoever loses dies.

Those who went to Kaibao Temple this time included not only Jiang and his party, but also many women and common people in Bianjing City.
This is probably due to the influence of the British government.
This was exactly what Xie Rongying wanted. With the wife of Marquis Dingguo accompanying her, she would definitely take Jiang for a walk whenever she met someone she knew.
What Jiang had was a good daughter-in-law, who was sent to please her mother-in-law.
It was said that Jiang had a good relative, who, in order to make his daughter's life in the Yongyi Marquis's Mansion better, did not hesitate to hand over a village full of land deeds to Jiang to manage.
…
Jiang didn't think it was a big deal at first, but the more he listened, the more uncomfortable he became.
However, Mother Yuan tried to persuade her, saying that Lady Dingguo was just sour grapes because she couldn't eat them. She envied Jiang for having a daughter-in-law like Xie Rongying, and envied Jiang for having a more comfortable life than Lady Dingguo.
Jiang and Tang had a long-standing grudge against each other, and thinking that Tang was indeed not living as comfortably as herself, she endured it.
After returning to Bian Jing from Kaibao Temple, Jiang arranged the trip to Wanmiao Village.
On the second day after Jiang returned to Bian Jing from Kaibao Temple, he went to Wanmiao Village.
The sun was still setting when we arrived at Wanmiao Village.
As soon as the carriage arrived near the warehouse, people around walked towards the courtyard next to the warehouse.
Jiang originally wanted to meet up with Wu Dawei first, but thinking that Shangguan Yao was still in Zi Lan Garden, she ordered to go to Zi Lan Garden.
When Wu Dawei received the news that Jiang had returned to Wanmiao Village, a fierce look flashed across his eyes.
"The carriage headed towards Zi Lan Garden. That villa belonged to the host's wife. Later, the wife went to the nunnery, which is where the eldest daughter occasionally lived. It seems that Manager Jiang is indeed the eldest daughter's mother-in-law." A man said in a cold voice.
Wu Dawei snorted coldly: "Since the boss doesn't take us seriously, I want to see how the Xie family can get away with it if this wife of the Marquis gets into trouble on the Xie family's territory!"
"Brother, this..." Another man disagreed with Wu Dawei's approach: "If something happens to the wife of the Marquis of Yongyi in Wanmiao Village, the Xie family might not be in trouble, but we will suffer the consequences."
"Old Third, what do you mean?" Wu Lao Er stepped forward and pushed Wu Lao San. "It was the Xie family that went too far first, and now they're actually handing our Wanmiao Village over to a woman who knows nothing but eats for free. Why?"
"Xie Jing would rather give Wanmiao Village to someone else so that his daughter can live a good life in the Yongyi Marquis' Mansion. Why should we obediently make wedding dresses for Xie Jing?" Wu Laoer cursed angrily.
Wu Laosan took several steps back and said, "I'm just worried..."
"Don't worry about it! That bitch Jiang actually deceived Big Brother. She even took advantage of us and ate and took things. She really thought we were easy to bully!" Wu Lao Er said as he drew the dagger from his waist and looked at Wu Dawei: "Big Brother, just do as you say! Since the Xie family is unkind, don't blame us for being unjust!"

Purple Orchid Garden.
Shangguan Yao had been living quite comfortably these past few days. If she hadn't been worried about what her brother had arranged, she would have really wanted to wait until Qin Junyi came to pick her up. However, after wandering around Wanmiao Village for several days, she still couldn't find out how much the totem her brother gave her was related to the Xie family.
There were no other clues except the bird with two tails.
He was also afraid that Cuizhi would discover his brother in Wanmiao Village, so he told Cuizhi tonight that he was not very used to living here and would return to Bianjing tomorrow.
Xueqing had just packed her luggage and had not yet spoken to Shangguan Yao when Cuizhi brought Jiang over.
"Young Madam, you haven't rested yet, have you?" Cuizhi said outside the door.
Shangguan Yao and Xueqing walked out of the inner room and saw Jiang come in.
"Mother?" Shangguan Yao shouted in surprise when she saw Jiang come in.
Jiang nodded slightly and walked towards the main seat, obviously considering herself the master of the place. After sitting down, she asked, "Are you getting used to living here? I just heard Cuizhi say that you're going back to Bianjing tomorrow. Why don't you stay a few more days?"
Before Shangguan Yao could open her mouth, a group of people rushed into the courtyard. The torches in their hands instantly illuminated the courtyard like daylight.
"Jiang! Get out here!" Wu Lao Er shouted angrily.
