There weren't many people in the village at this time, but that didn't mean no one saw what happened. Since Zhao Cuihua had been behaving herself for more than half a year and hadn't caused any trouble, the woman who saw it didn't think much of it and continued leading the heroes.
Jiang Yue recalled Zhao Cuihua's home from her memory, but the conditions were clearly better than in her memory.
"Sit down, I'll go make some tea."
Zhao Cuihua smiled and pulled over a stool, gesturing for Jiang to sit down.
"OK."
Jiang Yue responded, giving him face, and sat down, leaning back in her seat to find a comfortable position.
I don't know if the chair legs were faulty, but it made a cracking sound—
"Creak~"
"What's wrong?"
Zhao Cuihua peeked out from the kitchen, extremely nervous.
Looking at the other person's appearance, Jiang Yue thought to herself, "Isn't he acting far too guilty?"
"It's okay, you go about your business."
Anyway, she won't run away; she's patient.
"That's good, that's good~"
Zhao Cuihua said guiltily, forcing a smile.
Boil water, yes, boil water, so I can administer the medicine later!
Jiang Yue rested her chin on her hand and casually said:
"By the way, where are your family members? Why aren't they home?"
"Bang!"
Zhao Cuihua's hand trembled, and the ladle in her hand fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
She couldn't very well say that she sent her entire family to her parents' house to scheme against someone, could she?
"Do you need my help?"
Jiang Yue didn't hear a reply for a while, so she persisted in asking.
"No, no need. I can manage on my own. How could I let you, a rare guest, do the hard work? Don't make fun of me!"
Zhao Cuihua was on the verge of tears, but she tried her best to remain calm and dared not reveal any further flaws.
"Alright, I won't bother you anymore. I'll boil some water and come over. Do you have any sunflower seeds? If not, I'll go home and get some."
Jiang Yue saw that the winnowing basket contained the best-selling sunflower seed shells from the town's general store, and thought that since she was already here, it would be a waste not to eat something.
"Hey, why bother going home to get it? I have some at home, just eat at my place, don't bother."
Zhao Cuihua had already added water to the stove, and while waiting for it to boil, fearing that Jiang Shi might slip away, she quickly left someone behind and went back inside to get some melon seeds.
"How could I possibly accept this?"
Jiang Yue said that, but in reality, she was just staring at the other person, thinking that if she didn't take advantage of the situation, she would be a fool, and she loved to cause trouble for others!
Zhao Cuihua felt a little regretful. Would it have been better if she had just knocked Jiang Shi unconscious?
However, after estimating the height difference between the two, she realized that she was neither taller than the other person nor capable of knocking him unconscious. After much thought, she could only reluctantly continue to entertain him!
"Crunch~"
As soon as she got her hands on the sunflower seeds, Jiang Yue grabbed a handful and started cracking them open without any hesitation.
Where does the shell spit out?
This was her way of being polite and respecting the host family.
"Whatever, the ground is fine, I'll sweep it!"
Zhao Cuihua didn't care. Anyway, the sunflower seeds had already been eaten, so what did it matter if the shells were spit out?
Once the water boiled, she put the sleeping potion in it, determined to keep the man in her house today and get to do *that* with him!
"I'm so sorry."
Pfft~
Jiang Yue vomited the shell, and soon she vomited all over the ground.
Oh, and I forgot to mention, she's incredibly fast at eating sunflower seeds.
Zhao Cuihua felt the pinch, so she simply stopped watching and joined in eating sunflower seeds.
At least she managed to eat something herself!
A moment later—
"The water's probably boiling. I'm going to make some tea. Wait for me!"
Seeing that the plate was almost empty, Zhao Cuihua's eyes darted around, and she made an excuse to leave without adding any more.
Go ahead, go ahead~
Jiang Yue clapped her hands. Anyway, she had almost finished eating and her mouth was dry, so it was time to "have a drink" of tea.
Just as Zhao Cuihua was leaving, a meowing sound came from the courtyard wall.
The villagers of Wujia Village have a better living condition, but most of them keep dogs, since they can guard their homes and yards, while very few keep cats.
Jiang Yue looked up and examined it carefully. Sure enough, it was Ye He and her sister giving her a secret signal.
Master, shall we come in now and take you away?
No need, I want to see what Zhao Cuihua is up to.
Please be careful, boss. We sisters will protect you outside. If anything happens, we will prioritize your safety.
Yes, be careful to stay hidden.
Your servant obeys.
......
After exchanging simple gestures, Jiang Yue calmly continued to wait.
Zhao Cuihua soon brought over two cups of hot tea, smiling as she said:
"I visited relatives a few days ago and received a small amount of fine tea."
Thinking back to the misunderstanding between us before, which we didn't explain clearly, our relationship has become distant.
So, you have the time today and are willing to give me this face.
I'll offer tea instead of wine, and I hope you'll be magnanimous and not hold my past mistakes against me.
Jiang Yue couldn't find any fault with his explanation.
If she hadn't known the saying "it's easier to change mountains and rivers than to change one's nature," she might have believed it.
"For what you just said, let's have a drink and wipe the slate clean of past grievances."
The original body was not hers.
After drinking it, the feud with her would begin; she wasn't the original owner of this body who foolishly offered herself up for death.
"Please have some tea~"
Zhao Cuihua's smile deepened upon hearing this, her eyes fixed on the other person's teacup, while an evil voice screamed in her mind:
Yes, drink it, drink it quickly!
Wealth and glory are just around the corner!
Jiang Yue pretended not to notice, but actually used her left palm to cover herself and guide the water in the teacup into the system space to settle down.
She then lightly touched the corner of her lips with her sleeve, making it appear as if she had finished drinking tea.
"Hmm, not bad, good tea."
Zhao Cuihua couldn't stop smiling as she drank it; Jiang had fallen for the trap!
"Yes, right? You should really savor this fine tea!"
When Zhang Li'er gave her the medicine, she asked about its effects. It was said to be immediately effective, enough to make her unconscious for two hours!
I'm dizzy, I'm about to faint!
As if confirming her suspicions, she soon saw Jiang's eyes become blank...
"Ugh, I'm so sleepy, so very sleepy~"
Jiang Yue chuckled to herself. So acting was such a fun thing. No wonder so many people wanted to be actors.
Fortunately, no matter how exaggerated her acting was, some people still believed it wholeheartedly.
"If you're sleepy, you can sleep at my place for a while. I've already made the bed. Come on, let me help you in and lie down~"
Zhao Cuihua grabbed Jiang Shi and let the other woman press her weight onto her.
The first step is complete. All she needs to do is drug Jiang and then find the man hiding in Guihua's house...
When the deed is done, Mrs. Chiang, you will be utterly disgraced and have no chance of ever recovering!
Meow~
On the wall, the two sisters, Yehe and Yehua, were very anxious, worried that their employer would suffer a loss.
However, since their employer had not yet given them any orders, they dared not make decisions on their own for the time being.
Suddenly, the "unconscious" employer gestured for them to continue waiting, and they were relieved...
What exactly does this village woman want to do?
Why drug and knock out the employer?
It's obvious they're trying to harm the employer!
