Jiang Nianwei had long expected that once Jiang Lanxu left, someone would be secretly restless.

Dad has always been tolerant of Jiang Hao because he has Jiang family blood.

He didn't want to be cruel to Jiang Hao again and wanted to leave offspring for Jiang Shen.

In order to cut off Jiang Yan's last bit of hope, he must be made to see Jiang Hao's true face before he can kill him completely.

She had long been aware of Jiang Haohe's secret dealings with Ge Erzhuang.

Jiang Yan was suspicious, "Ge Erzhuang? He is the son of Village Chief Ge. We have nothing to do with him. Why would he do such a cruel thing to us?"

Jiang Nianwei was unusually calm, "Everything in the world has cause and effect. Where there is interest, there will be conflict."

Jiang Yan stroked his beard, a hint of helplessness flashed in his eyes, "I have my own plan for this matter. Nianwei, you and your sister-in-law should stay out of the spotlight for a while, I will hold them back."

Jiang Nianwei shook her head, her eyes firm, "Father, my elder brother is not here at the moment. As your daughter, I will naturally stay by your side to protect you. Don't worry, I am not a weak woman. I have practiced martial arts on weekdays, so I still have the ability to protect myself."

Then he turned around and ordered: "Chunyu, Taozhi, quickly take the rest of the family and hide in the place I prepared earlier."

In order to prevent any unexpected events, she had already made preparations and found a little-known secret place as a refuge for them in case of an accident.

Taozhi said stubbornly that she wanted to stay, "Miss, I want to stay by your side. I can't leave you alone anymore. Chunyu, take the Madam and the Young Madam away quickly! I want to stay by your side."

Jiang Nianwei nodded towards Chunyu and said, "Time is urgent, take them away quickly."

Chunyu understood and turned away without hesitation.

Taozhi stood still. Although her figure was steady, she was inevitably afraid in her heart. However, she kept protecting Jiang Nianwei behind her, "Miss, I will protect you."

Jiang Nianwei sat on the threshold, her face not showing any panic, but rather a calm and peaceful look, as if she was watching a good show.

Ge Erzhuang rudely kicked open the gate of the yard and walked in with a swagger, followed by the arrogant Jiang Hao.

"Jiang Yan, you cunning old man, I will kill you today. If it weren't for your lies, my father wouldn't have been an enemy of the government. I will kill you today and hold your head up to confess your crime!"

Jiang Nianwei stood up and patted the dust on her dress. "You want to get rid of the Jiang family because you have your eyes on the kiln built by our family. But even if you seize the kiln, you don't know the smelting method. Brother Erzhuang, I advise you to think twice before acting and weigh the pros and cons."

Ge Erzhuang's eyes moved a few times. It was indeed true. When he saw that this kiln was so powerful that it could make bricks, tiles, and pottery jars, he wanted to take it for himself.

Seeing that he was hesitating, Jiang Hao began to persuade him to act immediately, "Brother Ge, don't be fooled by that woman's sweet words. She is cunning and has endless tricks."

"She does have some truth in her words. Besides, you also said that she is just a woman. How can she achieve anything?"

Jiang Hao made a compromise and said, "You want Jiang Nianwei. Killing Jiang Yan won't affect your plan. In this case, I will kill him myself."

Ge Erzhuang didn't care, "It really doesn't matter if this old man dies, you can do whatever you want."

Jiang Yan listened to their conversation quietly and was shocked.

He never expected that the person who was eager to kill him was actually his nephew Jiang Hao.

Jiang Yan shouted loudly: "Jiang Hao, you once knelt in front of me and begged me to let you go, but now you still refuse to change your ways? Are you still repeating the same mistakes?"

Jiang Hao's mouth curled up into a cold smile, his eyes full of mockery: "Uncle, I compromised in the past only for today. I want to avenge my father's murder. You killed my father, so why are you pretending to care about me now? Isn't it you who caused our family's tragic experience?"

Jiang Yan's eyes dimmed instantly. He shook his head slightly, and his voice revealed a bit of helplessness: "I didn't kill your father. He wanted to push me into the swamp at that time. I just wanted to protect myself in the chaos..."

However, not lending a helping hand was indeed Jiang Yan's decision deep in his heart, and he never felt the slightest regret for it.

What I regret now is that I underestimated Jiang Hao.

"You are finally willing to admit it. You are such a despicable villain. You killed your brother with your own hands. It is really unkind and unjust!"

Jiang Yan closed his eyes tightly, as if recalling, "That year when I fell into the water, it was your father who rescued me, but I also saved you once, so we are even now."

Hearing this, Jiang Hao curled up a sarcastic smile, as if he had heard the most ridiculous joke in the world.

He laughed out loud, full of sarcasm and disdain: "Uncle, uncle, do you really think that my father saved you? Anyway, you are about to die, so I will tell you the truth. My father once told me that he planned your drowning that year and pretended to save you. In this way, you will naturally be grateful and regard him as your savior."

"You are so smart, how come you didn't realize that all this was just a trap set by him to make you owe him a favor?"

Jiang Yan was stunned when he learned the truth. "What...what did you say? How...how is this possible?"

"My father also told me a secret..."

Jiang Nianwei didn't hear the next few words clearly, she only saw Jiang Yan's expression of great pain.

"If you have any more questions, go to the underworld and ask my father!"

Jiang Hao raised his sword and was about to chop at Jiang Yan, but Jiang Nianwei picked up a bow and arrow and shot it directly at his right hand.

Jiang Hao cried out in pain, and the sword in his hand fell out of his hand. He looked at Jiang Nianwei angrily, "I actually forgot about you, you cunning bitch!"

Ge Erzhuang said disdainfully: "You stinky bitch, if you have some skills, let me meet you."

Seeing this, he was about to rush forward to snatch it. When he rushed towards Jiang Nianwei, he suddenly felt a slight looseness under his feet.

Before Ge Erzhuang could react, dense arrows were shot from all directions like a rainstorm, all hitting him, making him like a hedgehog. He died a moment later.

This is the outcome of having courage but no strategy.

Duan Yun's figure fell from the wall. "I just went to the home of Village Chief Ge and found that he was dead."

"It's such a pity. I expected Ge Erzhuang to do something like this, but I didn't expect him to be so cruel and even spare his own father."

The people following Jiang Hao immediately helped to control Jiang Hao. "Please...please let us go. We were only forced to come here by him. We just want to live a peaceful life. We never have any bad intentions."

Jiang Hao reacted instantly and felt sad that this matter went so smoothly. It turned out...it turned out that Jiang Nianwei had known about it for a long time and was waiting for him to take the bait.

"Bitch!" He gnashed his teeth and roared at the top of his lungs, "Even if I turn into a ghost after death, I will haunt you for the rest of my life and never let you go!"

Jiang Nianwei seemed to ignore him. She walked to Jiang Hao with a blank expression and said, "Everyone has come back from the gates of hell. Cousin, if you become a ghost, you must come to me for revenge. I'll be waiting for you."

Jiang Yan stood aside, his face heavy, "I shouldn't be so merciful, just deal with it as you wish!"

Jiang Hao originally wanted to take advantage of the situation and quietly pick up the big knife, intending to die together with Jiang Nianwei.

However, this aroused the vigilance of the villagers. They instantly fell into chaos and panic, waving the weapons that Jiang Hao had given them and slashing at Jiang Hao frantically.

Jiang Hao fell in a pool of blood... and there was no sound anymore.

Everything happened too suddenly. Jiang Yan was obviously startled and his face turned pale instantly.

Jiang Nianwei waved her hand, signaling Taozhi to help Jiang Yan into the room, "Leave the things here to me, you settle my father first."

She looked at the courtyard that she had carefully decorated, and a sense of regret welled up in her heart.

Duan Yun frowned slightly, but remained calm, "How should we deal with these two bodies?"

She lowered her eyes, her expression cold, "Bury it and use it as fertilizer."

Just as she was about to turn back, she thought of Village Chief Ge who was killed by her son. She sighed softly, with a rare hint of regret in her voice: "As for Village Chief Ge, we must find a place with a wide view and excellent feng shui for him to rest in peace."

The yard was tidied up, as if all the previous troubles had never happened. The moonlight sprinkled on the ground, casting mottled light and shadows, and it was as peaceful as usual.

My sister-in-law was still kept in the dark and had no idea what had just happened.

Jiang Nianwei chose to remain silent. Sometimes ignorance is the greatest happiness, and there is no need to add more worries to her.

It's just a small village, but there are people with evil intentions, not to mention the court, where many people will fight to the death.

Jiang Yan sighed, "Well, now our family is safe and sound, which is the best."

When the first ray of morning light quietly broke through the sky, Jiang Lanxu and A Zhao finally returned. This time, they went to Xizhou Island and found out a lot of useful information.

Jiang Nianwei had been waiting on the shore for a long time.

Ah Zhao took off his heavy armor and spoke slowly: "Don't worry, Sanniang. The officers and soldiers there know nothing about us. We can relax for the time being."

He paused for a moment and continued, "According to what the soldiers said, two cargo ships loaded with gold, silver, jewelry, porcelain and antiques sank here, but the location of the sinking has never been found. Just after the typhoon, someone picked up gold near Xizhou Island, so the government sent people to salvage it."

Jiang Lanxu had a trace of worry on his face. "But I can't calm down. I heard those officers and soldiers talking about how the war situation on the border is not optimistic. Lixuan... I'm really worried about his safety. Now this conscription notice has been posted in a remote area like Yazhou, which shows how urgent the war is."

At this point, a strange expression appeared on Ah Zhao's face.

"The Great Zhou is now facing internal and external troubles and frequent wars. How can it have the energy to care about a small place like ours?"

After hearing what they said, Jiang Nianwei knew what her elder brother was thinking. He wanted to sign up for conscription.

And Ah Zhao must have found important clues about his life experience in that place, which is why he, who was always so cheerful, behaved so abnormally.

She had indeed heard of the treasure in the sea, but that happened three years later. The imperial court wanted to send people to salvage the treasure, originally intending to use it to support the war on the front line, but who would have thought that several people had ulterior motives.

An epidemic began to spread on Xizhou Island, and all the officers and soldiers involved in the salvage were killed. It was rumored that the two ships were cursed, so those people became ill and died for no reason.

From then on, Xizhou Island became a deserted island, and no one had any desire for the treasure anymore.

Because the huge typhoon was triggered ahead of time, Jiang Nianwei always suspected that there was something fishy.

"You have worked hard. Since there is nothing else to do, let's go back quickly. Brother, my sister-in-law is still waiting for you at home."

Jiang Lanxu smiled instantly when he thought of his wife and children, "I'll go back now."

Jiang Nianwei didn't move, as if waiting for Ah Zhao to catch up so that she could talk to him alone, "Did you find any clues about your life experience there?"

There was a hint of confusion in his eyes. "I can't hide it from you. When we first arrived there, we found a group of soldiers who seemed to be looking for someone. The clothes they wore were exactly the same as the clothes I wore when I was washed ashore by the waves when I first arrived here. And they were not from the Meng family army, so I was suspicious."

Jiang Nianwei felt a little disappointed for no reason. She lowered her eyelids and kissed softly, "Have you ever wanted to leave with them?"

A Zhao's lips curled up into a faint smile, and he shook his head, "There are people here that I can't bear to leave."

She sighed softly, with a complex emotion flashing in her eyes, "If you really like any girl here, I can ask my mother to help you propose marriage."

Who would have thought that Ah Zhao actually agreed to it? "I really don't know how to ask. I'll have to trouble my aunt to help me."

Ah Zhao is here, does he really have a girl he likes?

Jiang Nianwei stepped into the house thoughtfully, and immediately caught a glimpse of Jiang Siyu trying to sneak away stealthily.

She immediately stopped him: "Stop, Siyu, where are you going in such a hurry?"

Jiang Siyu froze for a moment, then her hand unconsciously touched the back of her head, her eyes flickered, and she answered hesitantly, "Sister, I... I just want to pull weeds in the fields."

Jiang Nianwei frowned slightly, skeptical of her answer.

Normally, she was not so diligent and proactive. There must be something fishy going on. "Is she going out with Duan Yun again?"

A faint blush appeared on her face. "Oh, I didn't expect that you would find out all this."

"That's great, sister. I also want to take you to see our secret base! The weather is clear and cloudless today. It would be a shame to waste it!" Her eyes lit up with excitement, and she took Jiang Nianwei's hand and was about to take her there.

He kept muttering, "Sister, you will definitely like that place!"

When Jiang Nianwei was brought to a quiet beach, she understood why Jiang Siyu was so sure that she would like it here.

The beach here is white, and every step is accompanied by a slight creaking sound. The sea water is so clear that you can even see the swaying seaweed in it.

She gestured and said, "This is the beach that Duan Yun and I discovered. It's usually deserted! You can catch super big lobsters here!"

"There is such a nice place, you really should have brought me here earlier!"

As the weather got hotter, she had long thought about swimming in the sea, but was afraid of being seen. There was no one here, the water was shallow, and the waves were not big, making it a perfect place for swimming.

But this time, she just sat there quietly watching the two of them fishing for lobsters.

Seeing the bright smile on Jiang Siyu's face, her eyes lingered on Duan Yun from time to time.

I knew in my heart that this child was probably in love for the first time.
