Chapter 61 The Night is Dark and Murderous Intentions Arise

Jing Qiudie's tone became heavier. "I have been your biological child since you were a child, so I naturally know your personality. You have a wide range of interests and are involved in many things. However, this depth and breadth cannot be developed overnight. Who are you? Why did you choose to live in Nianwei's body?"

Seeing her mother's serious and nervous expression, Jiang Nianwei smiled cheerfully, "Mom, I am still myself, and I am still your daughter, but some things have indeed changed."

She concentrated and replied seriously: "This matter is really incredible. I have experienced two lives. In the first life, I was poisoned to death in the Qin family. After reincarnation, I came to another world. The customs there are completely different from those in the Great Zhou. Women can hold their heads high and study freely. They have the same status as men and do not need to be bound by worldly constraints and prejudices. Men have long abandoned the bad habit of taking concubines and follow the system of monogamy, just like you and dad."

"I also chose to do a variety of jobs. In that world, I was an orphan, but I still completed my studies and became an expert in agronomy, so I know so much about these crops."

The more Jing Qiudie listened to her description, the more incredible it felt. "Is there really such a thing in the world?"

"Mom, since you already suspected that I was possessed by a ghost, why don't you believe in reincarnation? Maybe the King of Hell also felt pity for me, so he gave me the opportunity to return to this world, to be with you, and start everything over again."

Jing Qiudie's face remained cautious, "Then how do you prove this?"

Jiang Nianwei certainly remembered her childhood memories. "When I was young, I accidentally fell into the lake and my life was in danger. Mother, you couldn't swim, but you jumped into the water desperately to try to save me. If it weren't for Aunt Liu calling for help in time, I'm afraid we would have died at the bottom of the lake."

She paused and continued, "There was another time when I climbed up to the top of a tree out of mischief, but I accidentally slipped and fell. I was left with deep scars on my arms, and the scars are still clearly visible today."

She lifted her clothes, revealing the scar on her arm. "If it weren't for the scar on my hand, I would have been selected to enter the palace when I reached the age. You once said that you didn't want me to enter the palace as a concubine, and you only hoped that I could find a man who was of equal status and whom I truly loved, and spend the rest of my life with him."

After hearing this, Jing Qiudie breathed a sigh of relief and held her hands tightly, "You are Nianwei, my daughter."

She paused, her eyes showing some confusion, "But you said that you were poisoned to death by the Qin family in your previous life, what do you mean?"

When Jiang Nianwei mentioned the Qin family, her eyes were sharp. "The Qin family played an indispensable role in our exile. I was imprisoned by the Qin family, humiliated and poisoned to death. Qin Ziqian's so-called deep affection was nothing but a carefully designed scam, just to get the rich dowry I brought."

"Nianwei, I believe you. Among our Jing family's ancestors, there are indeed people who have set foot on the immortal path and achieved extraordinary success. I naturally believe in the theory of reincarnation."

What she feared most was that the soul in this body was no longer Nianwei, and she would never see her real daughter again.

Jing Qiudie still had doubts, "But you said that our whole family was persecuted and died in that life..."

"Let me explain this matter in detail later."

The door was suddenly pushed open, and Jiang Siyu's eyes met the slightly strange expressions of her sister and mother. She couldn't help but feel a little curious, "Sister, what are you doing? Why is the atmosphere so solemn?"

Jing Qiudie quickly wiped away the tears from her eyes, not wanting her to notice anything. "Oh, nothing. I just felt a little tired after working so hard these past few days, so I went to your sister to complain and seek some comfort."

Jiang Siyu felt the same way and couldn't help sighing, "I also deeply understand that working in the fields every day, with back pain, is really hard. This kind of work makes me more deeply understand the hardships and difficulties of the common people and farmers. From now on, I will listen to my mother and dare not waste any grain of food."

Seeing that her mother had smoothed over her words, Jiang Nianwei breathed a sigh of relief, and then turned to ask her younger sister why she came to see her, "You suddenly came to see me, is there something important?"

Jiang Siyu then replied: "My eldest brother mentioned to me that when fishermen went out to sea to fish recently, they found that the number of boats in the waters near Xizhou Island increased. He hopes that you can go there immediately to discuss this matter together."

When Jiang Nianwei heard this, her face suddenly became serious, "I'll go right away."

Jiang Lanxu was standing at the beacon tower, looking at the ships in the distance. When he saw his sister coming, he said worriedly, "I wonder if the soldiers have discovered our situation and are preparing to send troops to encircle and suppress us."

Along the way, Jiang Nianwei had carefully analyzed the situation. "It shouldn't be that serious. We are just a deserted island with few people. If they want to attack us, there is no need to mobilize so many troops. And if they want to attack us, why do they gather near Xizhou Island and wait for action?"

It has indeed been some time since the mining ships passed by here since she took away all the minerals on the island.

Could it be that there were other unexpected situations on Xizhou Island?

Jiang Nianwei suggested: "Brother, I have an idea. Why don't we disguise ourselves as soldiers and quietly go to the island to investigate?"

He turned around, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes: "The situation on the island is unclear. If we go there rashly, I'm afraid we will be in danger."

Jiang Nianwei didn't care. "We just need to be careful and take advantage of the cover of night, and we should be safe. Once we find any valuable information, we will return immediately without delay."

At this time, a man's steady voice came from behind: "In my opinion, let me go with Brother Jiang. The island is full of dangers. Sanniang will stay here just in case."

Originally, Ah Zhao also sensed the unusual atmosphere permeating the sea, so he hurried to the beacon tower. As soon as he arrived, he accidentally overheard the conversation between the two.

Afraid that the two would misunderstand, he hastily clarified: "I didn't mean to spy on you. I just happened to hear a few words. I'm protecting your big brother, so you should have some confidence in me."

Ah Zhao's martial arts skills are indeed very strong. During this period, as his body gradually recovered, he has even surpassed his elder brother.

And after spending many days together, he should be trustworthy enough.

Moreover, once the eldest brother left, some people with ulterior motives would undoubtedly become restless, so it would be easier for her to deal with them if she stayed here. Jiang Nianwei thought about it again and again, and finally nodded and agreed to his proposal.

After A Zhao and Jiang Lanxu changed into the uniforms of officers and soldiers, they looked really decent.

Jiang Nianwei secretly handed her eldest brother a packet of medicine powder, "If there is any danger, sprinkle this powder on the other party to protect yourself."

Ah Zhao curled his lips slightly, with a trace of self-deprecating bitter smile on the corner of his mouth, "It's really good to have a sister who cares about me. Unlike me, I am alone and I am afraid that no one will be sad if I die."

Jiang Nianwei turned around and quickly stuffed a small hidden weapon into Ah Zhao's hand, whispering: "This is prepared for you, hidden in your sleeve, just touch the mechanism here with your fingertips, and the hidden weapon will shoot out, catching the enemy by surprise and unprepared."

Ah Zhao then revealed a satisfied smile, "So you haven't forgotten me."

The two took advantage of the night to board a small boat and headed for Xizhou Island. Jiang Nianwei repeatedly warned them, "This trip is full of dangers. If anything unexpected happens, remember to save your life first, then think about other things."

Only when the two figures completely disappeared from sight did Jiang Nianwei slowly turn around and leave quietly.

……

No one knew who leaked this information. When Ge Erzhuangshi learned that Jiang Lanxu was not there, he began to have other thoughts in his mind.

He had been to the battlefield and fought, but because he was afraid of dying in battle, he became a deserter. After returning, he stayed in this backward fishing village.

Originally, their Ge family was the most prestigious family in the village, but since the appearance of Jiang Nianwei's family, he found that the words of their Ge family were no longer efficacious.

I remember that time when the rice seedlings were attacked by disease, Ge Erzhuang did not accept Jiang Nianwei's advice, and as a result, all of his rice seedlings were infected with the disease.

The villagers who heard what he said felt the same way. With the loss of their harvest, they naturally felt more resentful, and their trust in the Ge family began to gradually weaken.

Ge Erzhuang realized the crisis. If they were replaced by the Jiang family, the reputation of their Ge family would no longer exist.

In addition, during this period of time, he and Jiang Hao became drinking buddies. They were drunk all day long and told each other about their troubles.

After drinking, Jiang Hao often advised him: "I see that you, Brother Ge, have great vision and are a rare talent. You will definitely achieve something in the future. Although you are from the Jiang family, my uncle is cowardly and incompetent, and my cousin is even more vicious. I really don't think it's worth it for them to be above you. I will definitely stand on your side, Brother Ge."

Ge Erzhuang's heart was moved, and a feeling of restlessness had already been growing in his heart.

At this moment, Jiang Hao's words ignited the desire in his heart like a raging fire and gave him courage.

They were now free from the control of the officers and soldiers, and he could seize power to occupy the fishing village, which would be the starting point of his grand ambitions.

Although Ge Erzhuang pretended to be calm on the surface, his words revealed a hint of excitement, "Brother Jiang, please stop teasing me."

Jiang Hao saw through his thoughts, "I am... I am not joking, I am willing to... sacrifice my own family for you!"

He was pretending to be stupid while being smart, and kept following Ge Erzhuang to induce him to go against the Jiang family.

Now that Jiang Lanxu is gone, he has become even more arrogant.

Jiang Yan always had a bit of sympathy for Jiang Hao, so he asked Jiang Lanxu to give him a chance to reform.

He seemed to be behaving himself, but in fact he hated everyone in his heart, including the Qin family.

After listening to his flowery speech, Ge Erzhuang began to be moved.

That day, he even proposed directly to Village Chief Ge: "Dad, you are the village chief, why do you have to be controlled by others everywhere? Why don't we take advantage of Jiang Lanxu's absence and get rid of those people from the Jiang family in one fell swoop..."

The Jiang sisters are both outstanding in appearance, and he can take them for himself. In this world, women are nothing more than accessories. He has long disliked Jiang Nianwei and must make her understand what a woman's true destiny and obligations are.

Village Chief Ge knew very well that his son was feeling resentful, but he never expected that the resentment would turn into such a vicious thought.

"Er Zhuang, what nonsense are you talking about? Their family has done a favor to our village. I will listen to whoever can lead the villagers to a good life."

Ge Erzhuang said sarcastically, "Dad, you are really old and confused. You are old and stubborn now. You only see the little favors they give you, but you don't see the conspiracy behind them. They just want to occupy this island. They are so concerned about us just to stabilize us and fear that we will cause trouble."

Village Chief Ge was so angry that he blew his beard and glared. He shouted angrily: "Unfilial son, you are talking nonsense. I knew you had evil intentions long ago, but who knew you would be so bold and reckless. I will tie you up and take you to the Jiang family to apologize!"

Originally, he expected his respected father to give him support and help, but the old man had become a stumbling block on his way forward, protecting the Jiang family everywhere, which made him dissatisfied.

As the two men argued, their emotions became increasingly intense, and Ge Erzhuang inadvertently used too much force and pushed Village Chief Ge into the corner of the table.

In an instant, the sharp corner of the table cut Village Chief Ge's forehead, blood gushed out, he fell to the ground in pain, unable to get up, and could only weakly call out: "Er Zhuang, hurry up, help me up, save me."

Ge Erzhuang stood aside, his heart full of struggle.

This is his father, his blood relative.

But in the choice between desire and family affection, the greed in his heart finally overcame his meager conscience.

He wanted to take over the Jiang family's kiln, he wanted to seize the Jiang family's wealth and women, he even wanted to kill Jiang Yan.

He stood quietly by the side, watching coldly without making any move.

"Dad, your spirit in heaven will forgive what I did today. I will definitely bring unprecedented glory to the Ge family."

Village Chief Ge felt a breath stuck in his chest and couldn't breathe, "You...you are so stupid!"

He didn't breathe a sigh of relief until he saw his old father bleeding profusely and gradually dying.

Ge Erzhuang took a deep breath and immediately found Jiang Hao, "From now on, Brother Jiang, you will be my military advisor. If you can lend me a helping hand, I will definitely take you to eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks."

After hearing this, Jiang Hao couldn't help but sneer in his heart.

He has waited for this moment for too long. It's time to settle all the past grudges one by one.

Jiang Hao still played the role of a lackey who was submissive to Ge Erzhuang. He spoke humbly with a fake smile on his face, "Brother Ge, in my opinion, our top priority should be to try to convince your friends to act together."

Ge Erzhuang held the knife, his eyes were cold, he nodded slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, we will go now."

Despite his close friendship with Ge Erzhuang, several of his childhood friends were skeptical about this crazy plan and expressed their opposition. But was Ge Erzhuang someone who could be easily persuaded?

He sneered, unsheathed his long sword, and with a flash of cold light, he instantly placed it on the neck of one of his friends.

"You all know my plan now. If you are unwilling to act with me, don't blame me for being ruthless and killing you, your wives and children."

Under the coercion of Ge Erzhuang, they finally had no choice but to compromise.

Now they are ready to go to the Jiang family and capture the entire family in one fell swoop!

Soon, a villager came to inform the family, "Mr. Jiang, Miss Jiang, hide quickly, Ge Erzhuang is coming with a knife!"
