The villain and the powerful official secretly read the diary and broke my plot every day

Yun Ling escorted Jiang Jiang out of the Gu Mansion. After seeing Jiang Jiang leave, Yun Ling did not return home immediately. Instead, she wandered around the alleys near the Gu Mansion...

"Lin Jing."

Yun Ling saw Lin Jing's figure in the shadow of one of the alleys.

"Why were you hiding so far away today? I almost didn't notice you." Yun Ling looked at Lin Jing a few times. Today, Lin Jing deliberately restrained his aura, and it was really difficult to identify him.

"The Prime Minister said that Miss Jiang Jiang has a very sharp perception and asked me to be extra careful and not be discovered by her." Lin Jing said helplessly.

"Oh?"

Yun Ling was startled and said, "I can see that Miss Jiang Jiang's lower body is very stable. She must have practiced martial arts, but I don't sense a strong aura from her. She must be a beginner martial artist and hasn't developed her internal energy yet."

"Well, she just started learning not long ago, but she is very hardworking and talented. She makes time to practice martial arts every day."

If we were to ask who in this world is most familiar with Jiang Jiang's life, then... Lin Jing must have a place.

As a secret sentry who followed her in the dark every day, Lin Jing was very familiar with Jiang Jiang's daily routine. He could even guess how many mouthfuls of rice she took at each meal.

"Oh, you seem to know Miss Jiang Jiang very well!" Yun Ling couldn't help but smile and teased after hearing what Lin Jing said.

Lin Jing's face immediately changed: "You, don't talk nonsense!"

He still wants to live a few more years.

"I'm just following orders. It's the Prime Minister who wants to know Miss Jiang Jiang's daily whereabouts." Lin Jing deliberately lowered his voice and reminded Yun Ling.

That is the person that the Prime Minister has his eyes on. How dare he have any improper thoughts about her?

That is something I dare not even think about!

After hearing Lin Jing's words, Yun Ling hesitated for a moment, but she still asked the question that had been weighing on her mind for a long time: "Miss Jiang Jiang is quite interesting, but...why does the Prime Minister care about her so much?"

"how could I know."

Lin Jing glanced at Yun Ling and said, "I won't talk to you anymore. I'm leaving first." As he spoke, Lin Jing's figure flashed and he disappeared in front of Yun Ling.

This guy……

He must know something, but he just doesn't want to say it.

"You're so tight-lipped." Yun Ling curled her lips, and finally turned around and left helplessly, returning to the prime minister's residence.

**

Mingyuefang, in Mingyue Tower.

"Master Jiang, have some fruit." Zhang Fugui smiled and placed a plate of bright red lychees in front of Jiang Jiang. "These are the red lychees that have just been shipped back from Yuzhou in the south of the Yangtze River. Try them. They are very sweet. The nobles in the capital all love them very much."

Lychee!

The first thing that came to Jiang Jiang's mind was naturally——

After riding the red dust princess smiled, no one knew it was Litchi.

Lychees are delicious and have a unique flavor, but eating too much can cause sore throat.

and……

"This thing is not easy to peel."

Jiang Jiang frowned slightly. Upon hearing this, Zhang Fugui immediately called a maid over. The maid was very diligent and began to peel lychees for Jiang Jiang skillfully.

Wow, it feels so good to be served by someone.

Jiang Jiang smiled at Zhang Fugui. Old Zhang was really capable.

"Boss Jiang, this girl is called Xiao Tao. Don't underestimate her age, but she works very hard. From now on... let her follow you. She can help you with laundry, cooking, cleaning the room, etc. She can do it all."

As Zhang Fugui spoke, he took out a piece of paper from his pocket, which was Xiaotao's contract of selling herself.

In recent days, Zhang Fugui has had more contact with Jiang Jiang, and has roughly learned about their family situation. He also knows that her brother Jiang Chaosheng is now a celebrity in the Ministry of Industry.

This maid, Xiao Tao, has been at Mingyue Tower for some time. She is smart and quick at work. Zhang Fugui knew that the Jiang family didn't have a maid, so he specially selected one for Jiang Jiang.

Jiang Jiang, who was sitting on the chair, was eating lychees with gusto. When she saw the indenture, she frowned slightly.

The Qingyun nation has had an employment system among its people for a long time, and employment contracts are protected by government laws. However... the buying and selling of slaves has always existed, and selling oneself as a slave is not uncommon.

Jiang Jiang looked carefully at Xiao Tao beside him. The little girl was about twelve or thirteen years old. Her skin was a little rough and her hands were full of calluses. It was obvious that she was a child who had suffered hardships since childhood and grew up in a poor family.

I guess it's because her family was in financial difficulty that she sold herself into slavery?

"Okay, I'll take it. Thank you, Lao Zhang."

Jiang Jiang came back to her senses and smiled at Zhang Fugui.

"Boss Jiang, you're too polite." Zhang Fugui immediately said modestly, turning to Xiao Tao and saying, "Why don't you thank the boss for taking you in?"

"Thank you, boss."

"Thank you, boss."

Xiao Tao stood aside and spoke repeatedly, her voice a little childish and with a slight tremor.

"Just follow me from now on and work hard! I won't treat you unfairly." Jiang Jiang gave Xiao Tao a sweet smile.

If the little girl does well, she will return her indenture contract to her and turn her into a hired worker.

Jiang Jiang just wants to be a happy rich woman in this world and doesn't want to be a slave owner.

"Okay, let's get down to business."

Jiang Jiang put away Xiao Tao's indentures and then looked up at Zhang Fugui. "Didn't you tell me the day before yesterday that you found a four-story store that would suit our needs? Did you talk to the owner? How much is the price?"

"This……"

Speaking of this, Zhang Fugui's face immediately turned ugly. He sent Xiao Tao out and then said sullenly, "Originally, I had already negotiated a price with the boss. He was anxious to return home because of a family accident, so he was willing to sell it to us for 150,000 taels. Who knew..."

"Something went wrong? Didn't you say that our business... was under the protection of Prime Minister Gu?"

Jiang Jiang asked.

Gu Yanqing's tiger skin needs to be pulled at the appropriate time, otherwise... what's the use of him?

"I said it."

Zhang Fugui looked worried. "Otherwise, that place is so popular, how could we possibly get 20 taels? But... suddenly a buyer showed up halfway through, willing to pay taels."

"He's stupid but rich? Even Gu Yanqing can't scare him?" Jiang Jiang sat up straight, waiting for Zhang Fugui's next words.

"It's the Meng... the eldest son of the Meng family. I... wouldn't dare to offend him!"

Both sides are great people, who dares to offend them?

The shop owner didn't dare to offend the Meng family, but he was also afraid of Gu Yanqing, so he had no choice but to say that the highest bidder would win.

After listening to Zhang Fugui's story, Jiang Jiang pinched her chin with her fingers. "The highest bidder wins?"

Meng Haowen was a notorious playboy who didn't play by the rules. Furthermore, the Meng family was wealthy and politically hostile to Gu Yanqing. This made things difficult.

"Come on, take me to that shop first."

Jiang Jiang stood up, intending to go for a field investigation first, but...

"I'm going to change clothes first."

Jiang Jiang suddenly remembered that she had met Meng Haowen before. Although that guy might not recognize her a long time ago, but... it is better to be cautious.

It’s better to be a little humble in life.

Jiang Jiang found a ready-made clothing store and changed into men's clothes directly. Then she thickened her eyebrows in front of the bronze mirror and slightly changed her facial features. Only then did she go out with Zhang Fugui in satisfaction.
