A transmigrated woman ruined my whole family; I was reborn, seized a spatial ability, and had a full

After finishing her meal, Su Li took out a small piece of silver from her bundle and stuffed it into Uncle Qiao's hand: "Uncle Qiao, take this money and go buy yourself some clothes and a new pair of shoes."

Uncle Qiao waved his hands repeatedly: "Miss, you can't do that. I only said a few words to you, how can I take your money?"

Su Li insisted on giving it to me: "Just accept it. It's not easy to make a living in this county town. I'm here on business. If it weren't for you, I really don't know when I would have offended the steward of the Tang family, and I would have lost my life. Consider this a small token of my appreciation. I'll feel bad if you don't accept it."

Uncle Qiao couldn't refuse, so he had to accept it, his eyes slightly reddening.

“Young lady, you are such a kind person. If you ever need my help in the future, please don’t hesitate to ask. I will tell you everything I know…”

Seeing Uncle Qiao's hesitation, Su Li smiled gently and said softly:

"Uncle Qiao, to be honest, I'm the daughter of a traveling peddler. My family runs a small business, making a living by inquiring about market prices and collecting good items. This time I came to Yun County hoping to find some rare and interesting things to take back to my hometown to sell, so that my family could have a better life..."

She frowned slightly, looking troubled, and then said:

"But as soon as I got here, I ran into the Tang family steward's entourage and almost got myself into trouble. I figured the Tang family has connections everywhere in Yun County, and their affairs might affect the livelihoods of us ordinary folks. Take this gambling den for example, the Tang family steward's antics have changed the nature of the surrounding businesses. If I don't understand the ins and outs of this place, I'm sure I'll run into trouble in the future."

Su Li paused, then looked sincerely at Uncle Qiao:

"Uncle Qiao, you've been working here for many years and have seen a lot. If you happen to hear anything about the Tang family in the future, whether it's the housekeeper, Madam Liu, or anyone else, just mention it to me. Consider it helping me avoid some pitfalls and detours, so I don't lose money unknowingly and ruin my family's livelihood."

Uncle Qiao was finally relieved and nodded thoughtfully.

“Girl, I understand your difficulties. Don’t worry, I will be more careful in the future.”

Su Li breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and said goodbye to Uncle Qiao, and started planning her return to the village.

Little did anyone know that Su Li's conversation with Uncle Qiao and the exchange of money in the restaurant were being witnessed by a one-eyed man sitting in the corner.

The man's eyes were sinister, and a meaningful smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

After Su Li and Uncle Qiao left, he also got up and quietly followed behind them.

Su Li walked towards the inn where she was staying, completely unaware that someone was following her. She was still immersed in the news about the Tang family that she had just received, and was thinking about what to do when she got back.

Uncle Qiao, holding the money, hurried happily towards his dilapidated temple dwelling, humming an off-key tune.

After following for a while, the one-eyed man stopped when he saw Su Li and Uncle Qiao part ways.

After a moment's thought, he turned and walked toward a secluded house in the county town.

The house looked ordinary, but the two guards standing at the gate exuded a fierce aura.

The one-eyed man entered the courtyard and went straight to a room in the backyard. He respectfully bowed to the beautiful woman who was lounging on a chaise lounge, holding a book.

This woman was none other than Madam Liu. She was dressed in fine silk and satin, with exquisite makeup, yet she exuded an unfathomable sharpness.

The one-eyed man said in a low voice:

"Madam, I saw something interesting outside the gambling den today. There was a woman from out of town huddled together with an old beggar on the street, asking about the Tang family. The woman looked suspicious; I'm afraid she has some ulterior motive."

Madam Liu raised an eyebrow, a hint of displeasure flashing in her eyes. She put down her book and sat up: "Oh? This woman has quite the nerve to inquire about the Tang family's affairs."

She got up and paced around the room. After a moment's thought, a cold smile appeared on her lips. "Go, send someone to keep an eye on her. See who she is and what she's up to. Don't let her ruin my plans. I want to see what tricks this arrogant girl can pull."

The one-eyed man accepted the order and quietly withdrew.

That night, the moonlight was dim, and the Tang family mansion seemed to be shrouded in a layer of gloom.

Madam Liu sat alone in the inner room, the moonlight streaming through the carved window lattice casting a long, slender shadow over her.

She was restless and anxiously awaiting the housekeeper's return.

The servants sent out returned one after another to report, but none of them brought any news of the woman.

Su Li was a newcomer, having traveled by merchant ship to this place. The merchant ship was crowded and noisy with all sorts of people from all walks of life.

She blended into the crowd, just like a drop of water merging into the ocean, silently disappearing.

Trying to find clues about Su Li's identity is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

With a creak, the door was pushed open, and the butler hurried in.

Madam Liu immediately stood up and rushed forward, whispering anxiously, "You're finally back. There was a huge mess today."

The butler's heart tightened, and he hurriedly asked what was wrong.

Madam Liu pulled the steward closer to the candlelight, her voice low and urgent:

“During the day, my informant reported that a young woman from out of town, who looked about fifteen or sixteen, was seen huddled with a beggar in town, subtly inquiring about our Tang family. First, there was the disappearance of our young master, and then there was your frequent visits to gambling dens—she doesn't seem friendly!”

As she spoke, she subconsciously touched her slightly protruding belly, her eyes filled with even more worry and fear.

“We’ve been secretly planning a lot of things lately. If this girl finds out something at this critical juncture and exposes it, how will we live in this mansion afterward?”

Upon hearing this, the steward's face instantly turned ashen, veins bulging on his forehead. He said hatefully, "What a reckless girl, daring to provoke a tiger!"

He paced rapidly around the room, then stopped abruptly, his eyes flashing with a fierce light: "Don't worry, Madam, whatever her purpose may be, since she dared to provoke me, I will make sure she doesn't leave alive!"

After saying this, the steward strode to the door, waved his hand towards the courtyard, and several strong young servants quickly ran over.

The steward coldly ordered, "You lot, go to town immediately and keep a close eye on that woman from out of town. Find out where she is, and when the time is right, kill her cleanly and efficiently. Don't leave any evidence. If you mess this up, you'll be beheaded!"

The servants nodded repeatedly, accepted the order, and rushed off.

After seeing that everything was arranged, Madam Liu slowly sat back in her armchair, her hand still lightly resting on her lower abdomen, a cold smile playing on her lips, her gaze deep and unfathomable.

"Once this girl is eliminated, the Tang family will be free of trouble. From now on, the immense wealth, the position of the matriarch, and the future of the child in her womb will all be firmly in my grasp..."

At this moment, Su Li was in a secluded inn in the town, recording her day's gains on paper by the dim candlelight.

Completely unaware that danger, like a hungry wolf, was silently approaching her in the darkness outside the window.
