Quickly wear salted fish, she won by lying down

Chapter 1614 Substitute Bride 18
As it turns out, some things really do go against plans.

Before she could even begin to eliminate Grandma Jiang, someone actually saw her fall down and wasn't brainwashed.

The person was hiding in the artificial hill. After Grandma Jiang brainwashed everyone in her field of vision, she didn't notice the person in the artificial hill. Actually, she did go into the artificial hill to check, but the person was familiar with every part of the artificial hill and hid in a place that ordinary people wouldn't notice, thus escaping a disaster. So the person saw what it looked like when Grandma Jiang fell but didn't die, and then brainwashed the others. She was so frightened that she didn't dare to say a word. The person only left after Grandma Jiang had been gone for a long time.

When he got home, he felt that he had a chance to make a fortune.

Yes, Granny Jiang is a monster, and she is indeed very powerful and terrifying. However, as long as Granny Jiang still wants to live among people and be a noble lady, she is not afraid, because the other party obviously does not dare to directly expose himself and start killing, but only dares to brainwash people secretly.

Since that's the case, she can take advantage of the other party's weakness of not wanting to be exposed, wanting to continue pretending to be human, and wanting to live a good life among humans, and extort money from her.

So on that day, this person came to find Grandma Jiang.

When Grandma Jiang saw an unfamiliar stewardess coming to find her, she was puzzled, wondering why this person wanted to see her when she didn't know her.
The woman introduced herself as surnamed Ma, and said her husband was one of the purchasing agents in the mansion. She then asked Granny Jiang to dismiss everyone else, saying she had something important to tell Granny Jiang.

Grandma Jiang thought she was going to tattle on someone, so she listened to Granny Ma and dismissed everyone else, waiting for the other person to tattle on her.

Instead of reporting it to the police, it was a bombshell.

The other party didn't waste any words with her, after all, there was no need to exchange pleasantries with a monster, so he went straight to the point and said, "Grandma Jiang, the day you fell from the viewing platform, a transparent membrane appeared on your body to protect you and keep you from dying. It also altered the memories of everyone who saw it, making them all forget about it. I saw it all very clearly. If you don't want this to get out, then give me a thousand taels of silver."

Seeing that Granny Jiang's face turned cold after hearing her words, the woman was afraid that she would immediately erase her memory, so she hurriedly said, "You mustn't erase my memory. I have already written many letters about you being a monster and put them in many places. I have told people that if something happens to me, I should send these letters to certain people. If you dare to erase my memory, I will not retrieve these letters, and your secret will be exposed."

Grandma Jiang's eyes widened in fury upon hearing this. She truly hadn't expected that after being reborn and given superpowers by the heavens, she would still be threatened by a mere mortal. How could she not feel aggrieved?
But what's infuriating is that this person has taken all precautions. If she dares to erase her memories, and everything this person wrote is published, what will happen when everyone else finds out?
Then we'll see what happens if they report this to the authorities and can't handle her. Her power is limited; she can't deal with so many people! Once she's out of power, she'll be no different from an ordinary person, and if those people catch her again, who knows what they'll do to her.

So when Grandma Jiang heard this person's words, although she was angry, she couldn't do anything about it. She could only deny it, saying, "I don't know what you're talking about. How can you offend such an important person like me? What is your punishment?" Anyway, this person had no evidence. As long as she didn't admit it, what could she do?
This is indeed a problem, since ancient times were unlike modern times, where there was nothing to record videos as evidence.

But people in ancient times were also clever. The servant was not stumped by Granny Jiang's question. He sneered, "I considered the possibility that Granny Jiang wouldn't admit it before I came. It doesn't matter if you don't admit it. The letter I wrote will be scattered everywhere, and some people will definitely think it's real. Then a bunch of people will be secretly monitoring you, and you won't be able to do anything you want. I think with your great abilities, you'll definitely do something to make yourself richer. Not to mention, you'll definitely secretly deal with those you don't like. But now that a bunch of people are watching you, if anyone around you does anything wrong, they'll definitely think it's you. The more tricks you do, the easier it is to be exposed. But if you don't dare to do anything, then you'll be just like everyone else. I guess that kind of ordinary life isn't what you want, is it? If I can force you to be an ordinary person in the future, that would be pretty good too."

Hearing the servant's words made Granny Jiang even angrier. After all, this person's method really had her under control. If she were really being secretly monitored by a bunch of people, she really wouldn't dare to do anything underhanded.

And she doesn't know who received the letter. Everyone around her will be suspicious, thinking that the other person is monitoring her. How can she live like that? She still wants to kill the Princess of Qinghe and seize the Qinghe Prince's Mansion. How can she act if she is being monitored like this?

So, the only option at the moment was to spend money to buy peace of mind.

A thousand taels is far too much. Her family was not well-off before, otherwise she would not have gone to the Duke of Cheng's mansion to beg for money. Since that was the case, her dowry was naturally small. And she had just entered the mansion and had not earned much money, so where would she get a thousand taels of silver? So, Granny Jiang said, "Where would I get a thousand taels of silver!"

Seeing that Granny Jiang was about to surrender, the man was secretly delighted and said, "With Granny's great abilities, are you afraid of not being able to get a thousand taels of silver?"

Don't think she doesn't know. The Dowager Princess Qinghe gives Third Master Jiang a lot of money every month. Third Grandma Jiang is so powerful, why doesn't she just brainwash Third Master Jiang and make him give her money? Even if she can't brainwash him, she can just have someone steal Third Master Jiang's money and then modify his memory so that he thinks that's all the money he has and won't suspect anything. So, who is Third Grandma Jiang lying about when she says she has no money?

Little did she know that Grandma Jiang needed energy to use her superpowers; it wasn't something she could just use whenever she wanted. If she could use them so casually, Grandma Jiang would have ruled the world long ago, and she wouldn't be the one trying to scare her.
Grandma Jiang said, "My abilities are limited, and I can't use them recklessly. I altered too many people's memories when I fell down that time, and my abilities have long been exhausted."

Seeing that she didn't seem to be lying, Granny Ma said, "I'm not in a hurry. You can give me the money after you recover your abilities, but you have to give me a thousand taels. However, if you don't have a thousand taels right now, a hundred or two taels will do. You must give me this today."

Grandma Jiang had no choice but to give her two hundred taels of silver, and then said, "Where will you put those letters? Is it safe? You must take good care of those letters and not let anyone see them, otherwise my money will have been wasted."
