Traveling through ancient times.

Ning Jianren got angry again and swept the teacup on the table to the ground.

With a snap, fragments flew everywhere and the tea spilled all over the floor.

"That's ridiculous. Now that she's out of this house, she's really free and unfettered. Did you see the faces of those people clearly? Who are they?"

Butler Jiang stood with his head down and his hands hanging, like a curled-up quail.

"Replying to Master, I asked them, but they refused to tell me, saying...it's none of my business."

"Well, she just left and she's already looking for a strange man outside. Jiang Yizhou, you're really good. I really misjudged you all these years."

The butler wished he could shrink his head into his chest. Ning Jianren without any disguise was too... scary.

Ning Jianren smashed a vase next to him with a bang.

"Go and tell all this to the outside world. Especially those old guys, let them see that this is their good niece who is biased against them. She is fickle and unfaithful to her husband. Damn it, damn it..."

"It has already been spread outside..." Butler Jiang said in a low voice.

The rumor-mongering had already begun. In addition to letting the servants and maids in the mansion and some shop assistants spread the news covertly, they also let the beggars spread the news everywhere.

Those beggars could be made to say whatever they wanted by just giving them a few copper coins.

Ning Jianren asked: "Where is that woman? What is she doing? Is she in the house or somewhere else?"

"No, I didn't see it, but I saw that there seemed to be a lot of people on the mountain behind Zhuangzi, but they didn't let me pass."

"That's just a barren mountain, and it's also within the boundaries of the village. Why did she send so many people there?"

"Slave, slave..." I don't know.

"What a useless thing! I didn't even see anyone, and I didn't find out anything. What a waste..."

Butler Jiang's face felt hot, and his heart felt as if it had been punched again and again.

Once upon a time, this man was always called Uncle Jiang... Woohoo, but now he has become a "thing" and a "waste".

Ning Jianren closed his eyes and tried to calm himself down.

Although this old thing is basically just a decoration now, there are some things in the house that still need someone to take care of them for the time being.

Soon, he will be able to bury all this shame and move into Ning’s house.

By the time……

He took a deep breath and said in a very tired tone: "Forget it, you've been running around all day today and you're tired. Go down and have a good rest. Is Jiang Liu feeling better now?"

"In reply to the master, my son has almost recovered. Thank you very much, master."

Ning Jianren waved his hand and said, "Go to the storehouse and get a ginseng to nourish him. This time it's all that bitch's fault. Don't worry, one day I will come back and help you get your revenge."

Butler Jiang felt a sense of inexplicable excitement in his fear and almost kowtowed to express his gratitude.

After Butler Jiang left, Ning Jianren asked Aunt Jiao to clean up the broken porcelain pieces and make some ginseng tea again.

Aunt Jiao is the wife of housekeeper Jiang.

The more comfortable I felt in this house before, the more fearful I feel now.

As soon as she saw the miserable state of Xu's mother and He's mother, she felt pain in her face and mouth as well.

Especially Xu's mother, her mouth is useless.

It was said that Miss Jiang had knocked out his teeth and damaged his lips. Now he can only drink soup. He will not be able to eat anything in the future.

In fact, she didn't quite agree with Xu's mother's behavior before. In her opinion, she could just take some things home privately, but there was no need to rush to deal with a woman in the inner house.

She had seen a lot of things and knew that many women in wealthy families were not even as good as servants like them.

On the surface, they looked well-dressed, and food and drinks were handed to them.

But in fact, what you eat and drink, and whether there is any trick involved, all depends on the loyalty and mood of the servant.

If you want to punish someone, can you beat him to death in one go? If not, then you will be retaliated against next.

Therefore, even though she saw that the son-in-law had ill intentions towards the young lady, she did not get involved.

She even told Jiang Fusheng privately that the son-in-law could be so cruel and ruthless to the person next to him, and those who claimed to be heroes would definitely not have a good ending in the future - would he keep you around to remind you all the time how his wealth and power were obtained through dishonorable means?

Now he is fine, but his youngest son is dead. The wound on his face is almost healed, but one of his legs is broken.

Aunt Jiao packed up her things in an orderly manner, then quietly left and stood silently by the door, waiting for instructions at any time.

After a moment, the person inside really spoke: "——Go and call Qihao to me."

Aunt Jiao responded respectfully and went to call for help.

Qihao was in the middle courtyard watching people repairing the burned house. Because the fire was put out in time, most of the roof frames could be used. They only needed to repair the doors, windows and eaves and then repaint them.

…Qihao entered the room and closed the door casually.

"Master, you called me?"

"Tomorrow, go to Yunshan Manor and take a look. I want to know who those people are, and what that woman is doing?"

"Yes, sir."

After a moment, Ning Jianren instructed again: "You go alone, you don't have to confront her head-on, just find out the situation there."

"Yes, sir."

Qihao responded and was about to leave, but then he stopped when he thought of something.

He said, "By the way, Master, a brother told me last night that someone in Jiangzhou has noticed that piece of land. If we can't raise the partnership money within ten days, they may find someone else."

"I understand. Tell them that ten days is enough."

…………After work in the evening, everyone returned to the farm, and Jiang Yizhou asked Yucui if she understood the entire reservoir project.

Yucui knew that the young lady wanted to entrust the important matter to her, so she quickly told her in detail what she had seen and understood.

For example, the location and size of the pool, personnel scheduling, etc.

Jiang Yizhou nodded. Some of them were from Tao Village, and Tao Er was also there, so it wasn't a big problem.

As for the arable land, it is almost late autumn now, and even after raising seedlings, we have to wait until early spring to plant them.

So Jiang Yizhou decided to delay it for a few days temporarily, to fix the waterwheel and the pool, and to fix the water supply and drainage system of the village and the irrigation ditches of the land, and it would not be too late to cultivate the land.

Jiang Yizhou said, "Okay, I'll leave the matter at the pool to you. Remember, if you have anything to discuss, consult with Brother Tao. If you can't make a decision, come to me."

Yucui's eyes were shining, "Yes, Miss!"

As for Yunxin and Wei Ke, they are temporarily familiar with the things happening in Zhuangzi.

During dinner in the evening, Liao Qi told Jiang Yizhou in detail about Butler Jiang's arrival today.

Jiang Yizhou thought to himself, I was wondering why he came here, turns out he wanted to make trouble for that little bastard.
