Traveling through ancient times.

Yucui stood there in a daze for a moment, her lips trembling as if she wanted to say something, but in the end, nothing came out.

Then he took the bucket out obediently.

Jiang Yizhou asked her to close the door and said, "You are not allowed to come in without my permission."

She gave the order calmly, completely ignoring the disdain on the other person's face and his rebellious nature.

She doesn't care what expression you have or how rebellious you are. As long as you are still in this house, she will tell you to do things.

If the other party shows displeasure, then we can just not do anything. Isn't that too easy for such a person?

It’s your business whether you say it or not, it’s your business whether you do it or not, and we will settle the score later.

Yucui slammed the door shut to express her dissatisfaction.

However, it was different from the previous direct challenge to Jiang Yizhou, there was no sarcasm in the tone.

She seemed to sense that something was different about the lady. She no longer had that...soft strength that anyone could step on.

She really wanted to see the Madam stand up for herself. The master was a coward who could not protect himself or his servants. Not only did he suffer, but he also had no future at all.

But she also felt a little guilty. After all, she had targeted her so much before. What if she really stood up in the future and made things difficult for her?

Jiang Yizhou sensed the stubbornness and vague uneasiness in this girl.

It's normal to feel uneasy, but it's unnecessary to worry about whether you will be bullied or not.

Because she will definitely make things difficult for her.

…………

With the sound of the door closing, Jiang Yizhou finally calmed down. When he came to his senses, he found that his back was wet.

The first time he confronted Ning Jianren, he did not follow the original owner's path and took out the servants' indentures.

She recalled the entire detail carefully, and apart from not taking out the contract, it did not seem to go too far against the original owner's usual style of speaking and doing things.

Tongzi: "Even if you completely conform to the original owner's style and don't reveal any flaws, he will not let you go."

Jiang Yizhou: "Heh, let him go? For a person like that, as long as others don't do things according to his wishes, it's a provocation to his authority. Even if he didn't get any benefits here just now, he will definitely think about it and realize something after he goes back."

Tongzi: "I'm sure you'll notice something's wrong. What I'm most worried about now is that you've completely fallen out with those servants and maids this time. It'll be even harder for you to stay in this house in the future."

Jiang Yizhou nodded, she had already thought of this.

"What I'm thinking about now is, given Ning Jianren's gloomy and vicious nature, why didn't he just kill him this time? Or just robbed him openly."

In her previous life, she had seen many people who were bedridden due to accidents or illnesses, and their husbands (wives) would directly take away the other party's bank cards and say outside that the other party agreed. Who can prove the authenticity? !

Tongzi: "Do you suspect something is holding him back?"

Jiang Yizhou: "That's right. It is precisely because of the existence of this power that he dares not use force or kill me directly. He can only use those servants to put pressure on me."

What is it?

Jiang Yizhou felt that if she only relied on recovering her physical condition now and then going out to earn merit and exchange items, the process would be too slow. The key point was that she only had that red coral hairpin in her hand.

Also, she must have a stable foothold to do all this, otherwise her career will be overturned before it even gets off the ground.

Therefore, she must find the force that can restrain Ning Jianren and then make use of it, so as to buy her some buffer time, or even the opportunity and trump card to counterattack.

Jiang Yizhou lay on the bed, carefully sorting out the original owner's memories over and over again in his mind, hoping to find useful clues in them.

Suddenly, her eyes lit up - shops, farms.

The Jiang family owns three farms and more than ten shops of various sizes.

Originally, the original owner had two farms, but he had already given one away, so now he only had one left.

The shop has been gradually handed over to Ning Jianren in the past few months.

In the original owner's memory, the other party would use the excuse of insufficient funds to take away the farm in a few days...

Why do you ask for it after a few days?

Could it be that he hasn't completely managed the store yet?

This thought popped into Jiang Yizhou's mind and he couldn't stop it.

Yes, that must be the case.

These shops, from clerks to managers, were all nurtured bit by bit by the Jiang family's two elders and are loyal to them.

Even if Ning Jianren took over the store, it would not be easy for him to win these people over to obey him or to replace them with a new group of people.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yizhou felt himself becoming excited.

The body must recover quickly, otherwise these ideas cannot be realized.

cuckoo-

My stomach growled. Hmm, I guess I’m hungry again.

What did Jiang Yizhou think of? Eating. As long as he eats, he can restore his strength. As long as his body can digest it, then just eat!

She turned over and sat up, fumbled for the tinder, and was about to light the lamp when she paused.

Well, it’s already around midnight, everything is quiet, and turning on the lights will be too eye-catching.

So he fumbled and took out the roast chicken from under the dressing table.

…………

When he woke up the next morning, Jiang Yizhou stretched lazily with contentment, feeling soft and lazy all over.

She still realized something: her body seemed to no longer have that feeling of weakness and shackles.

Quickly call up the list of attribute values.

Wow, just one roast chicken can restore me to 3 or 4 points in just one night.

Now my physical strength is only two or three points lower than that of ordinary people.

Tongzi explained: "The reason why your attribute values ​​are recovering so quickly now is because this body should have them in a normal state, so you only need to eat to recover. Once it reaches its original normal level, it will be difficult to improve it through diet..."

Jiang Yizhou had expected this, but he still wanted to confirm it: "Then if I take tonics or elixirs to strengthen my body, it won't increase?"

Tongzi: "This... is possible, but it is also quite limited. After all, the terminology used in your original world is called a gene lock."

Jiang Yizhou: "So you still have to use merit to exchange for more attribute values, right?"

Tongzi: “Yes.”

She knew that was the case and stopped dwelling on the issue.

There is a lot to do today.

She had originally planned to wait until this body was fully recovered before taking any action, but judging from her first confrontation with Ning Jianren last night, the other party could no longer wait.

Or maybe he no longer has that much patience with himself - come to think of it, it has been more than five years since he married into the Jiang family.

At the beginning, you have to integrate into this family, maintain your own personality, and please everyone. You have to wear a mask all the time, and it's tiring just thinking about it.

But Jiang Yizhou had no sympathy in his heart: a man marrying into a woman's family and a woman marrying into a man's family were just gender changes.

If the original owner wasn't so rich and had parents who loved her so much, then she would definitely have to marry into the man's family.

Then the one who goes to welcome the man's parents, aunts, sisters-in-law, uncles and cousins ​​is the original owner.

It is taken for granted that a daughter-in-law should be filial to her parents-in-law and serve her husband, but why can't a son-in-law respect his parents-in-law and serve his wife? !

Jiang Yizhou got out of bed and moved around a bit. Well, he had no problem walking, sitting or lying down.

So, take action today.
