Quickly wear salted fish, she won by lying down

Chapter 1615 Substitute Bride 19
Having received the money, Granny Ma readily agreed, saying, "I certainly won't let the letter be exposed. After all, if it's exposed, I won't be able to threaten you anymore, and I won't be able to get the money. Why would I do something so foolish?"

Grandma Jiang was furious when she heard the woman's assurance, but what she said made sense. She wouldn't let such leverage go unused, and she didn't have to worry about the letter being lost, so she sent the woman away.

Although she was dismissed, Granny Jiang must have hated Granny Ma to death, and she was thinking about how to deal with her.

Unfortunately, before she could figure out how to deal with Granny Ma, news of what Granny Ma had done spread.

This was naturally Linlang's doing. She saw that Granny Ma was trying to extort money from her, and thinking that neither of them were good people, she figured she could take care of them both at once. So she took away the letters that Granny Ma had hidden at the mail carrier's place and sent them to various places.

When Granny Ma returned home, she found the letter missing and became anxious. She asked the person she had entrusted with the letter if he was the one who took it.

"Didn't I tell you to deliver them to various places in the afternoon? Why did you deliver them so quickly?"

She left the letter with the messenger. Her husband was in charge of purchasing for the household and knew many people outside. She casually asked around and contacted a messenger, leaving the letter with him.

Of course, with so many people in the capital, there are plenty of messengers, so she wasn't worried that Granny Jiang would be able to find the messenger she had entrusted.

As a result, Grandma Jiang got things sorted out, but trouble came up on her own end.

She was still hoping that if Granny Jiang's affair wasn't exposed, she could continue to use it to blackmail Granny Jiang for money. That's right, how could she only earn two hundred taels of silver? Naturally, she would first get the thousand taels, and then continue to get more. After all, Granny Jiang was a monster with plenty of tricks up her sleeve, and she couldn't waste them. She would definitely ask Granny Jiang to make a lot of money for her so that she could become rich.

Although the other party was a monster, and threatening a monster was a bit dangerous, she was willing to risk it all – the bold get rich, the timid starve.

Unexpectedly, the letter disappeared. If word gets out, how will she threaten Grandma Jiang in the future?

Moreover, where did this letter go?

When pressed by Granny Ma for details, the messenger naturally claimed ignorance.

"You delivered the letter, and I just left it there without touching it. I had no idea it would be gone when I came back." The messenger still found it strange.

Upon hearing the messenger's words, Granny Ma felt a chill run down her spine. She thought, "It's all over! Could it be that Granny Jiang followed me, discovered the place I entrusted with the letter, and took it away?" If that were the case, the other party would probably deal with her immediately. Not to mention killing her, since the other party said she had used up all her abilities, but at the very least, they would alter her memories. In that case, there would be no way she could get rich.

In fact, Granny Jiang did want to monitor Granny Ma's movements, but she was out of energy and couldn't use it to track Granny Ma's whereabouts. She could only resentfully give up and plan to deal with Granny Ma when she had more energy. She thought that since Granny Ma had taken the money, she shouldn't expose the matter. After all, without any leverage over her, it wouldn't do her any good. She was safe for the time being and could ignore it until she had more energy.

Who knew this would be exposed?

Grandma Jiang was unaware that her secret had been exposed. However, Granny Ma, upon discovering the missing letters, assumed Grandma Jiang had taken them and was terrified, fearing for her life or even her memory. But as a member of the Prince's household, she couldn't leave even if she wanted to, and she was frantic with worry. Several days passed, and Grandma Jiang didn't do anything to her, which surprised Granny Ma. She wondered, "If it wasn't Grandma Jiang who took my letters? Then who did?"

Thinking about it this way, another chill ran down my spine.

She immediately realized the problem: someone was watching her, otherwise how could these letters have been lost?

If someone is spying on me and can steal my faith without me even noticing, could it be another monster? After all, with Granny Jiang as a monster, it's possible there's another one in the mansion.

The thought of a monster in the manor, watching her intently, sent a chill down Mama's spine. She finally realized how dangerous it was to come into contact with a monster; it could take her life without her even noticing.

She was so frightened that she fell ill and had to stay home to recover.

The reason Linlang was monitoring Granny Ma was because when she rewatched the video of Granny Jiang falling, she pulled back and found that Granny Ma had already entered the artificial hill. However, during the subsequent brainwashing, she didn't see Granny Jiang brainwashing her, so she felt that Granny Ma might know the truth, and that's why she was keeping an eye on her.

It turned out to be true; she really did know the truth, and then she audaciously went to threaten a person with superpowers, someone whom the ancients considered a monster.

After all, if it were a different person, knowing that the more they knew, the faster they would die, they would definitely keep this matter to themselves and say nothing. How could they dare to threaten a monster?

Meanwhile, Linlang sent out the letter, which was received by everyone from the emperor down to powerful ministers. These people thought they were the only ones who had received the letter, so they secretly sent people to monitor Jiang San Nai Nai's situation and investigate the matter of Jiang San Nai Nai falling off the viewing platform mentioned in the letter.

Then it was discovered that the railing of the observation deck was indeed broken, and if Grandma Jiang San had been leaning on it to enjoy the view, she could have fallen.

Unfortunately, the viewing platform is located on a stone path, not a dirt road, so there are no visible traces. Otherwise, if it were a dirt road, it would be noticeable if a large person fell from a height and hit the ground.

What convinced them that something was wrong with Granny Jiang was that after she dismissed everyone else, she cursed Granny Ma alone.

Previously, Grandma Jiang was very cautious and never talked to herself in private. But this time, the incident was so infuriating that she broke down and started talking to herself in private, which naturally alerted the various people monitoring her.

When she discovered that Granny Ma was extorting money from her, she didn't call her absurd or ignore her. Instead, she endured it and gave Granny Ma the money. This was very unusual. The people immediately realized that Granny Jiang was indeed suspicious, so they started keeping an eye on her.

It's conceivable that once Granny Jiang accumulates enough power and accomplishes something, these people will further investigate and then try to capture her, intending to use her for their own purposes. After all, Granny Jiang's ability to brainwash others is very useful. Those high-ranking officials and even the emperor have too many people they want to brainwash, so why wouldn't they take Granny Jiang to their advantage?

Seeing those people eager to make a move and eyeing her menacingly, Linlang felt relieved. She thought to herself, "That's good. I don't need to do anything myself. With these people taking action, Grandma Jiang is in deep trouble."
