Quickly wear salted fish, she won by lying down

This will take several years, so obviously, the royal adoption of a child is not something that can be done in a few years. Linlang is not in a hurry and can raise the child slowly. Since there is a possibility of adoption, she will naturally raise the child well so that when the child becomes emperor in the future, he can also govern the country well. She does not want the child to be unable to govern the country in the future, causing chaos in the country and preventing her from living a carefree life.

Not long after Linlang's child was born, Granny Jiang San had gathered enough power to kill Granny Ma in order to eliminate any future trouble.

Originally, when she saw that Linlang was about to give birth, she was thinking of dealing with Linlang first. However, as Granny Ma kept asking her for money, Granny Jiang thought it would be better to get rid of Granny Ma first.

The reason why Granny Ma came to ask Granny Jiang for money again was because she thought that Granny Jiang or someone else had taken her letters, and she was so frightened that she fell ill and went home to recuperate.

As a result, after several months of keeping quiet and not finding any movement from Granny Jiang or anyone else, Granny Ma's boldness grew again. She thought that it seemed that Granny Jiang hadn't taken the letter, otherwise she would have been killed long ago. Since it wasn't Granny Jiang who took it, Granny Ma's boldness naturally increased. She planned to get a few more sums of money from Granny Jiang and then run away. She also knew that it was strange that the letter had mysteriously disappeared, so she didn't plan to keep asking for money like before. She only planned to ask for a little and then stop. She would see if she could buy back her indenture from the newly appointed mistress, Princess Qinghe. If she could buy it back, she could take the money she got from Granny Jiang and run away, so that the person who secretly took the letter and Granny Jiang wouldn't do anything to her.

I think we should be able to get the indenture back from Princess Qinghe, because although Princess Qinghe has dealt harshly with those who are greedy for money, she is still quite reasonable with ordinary people as long as their requests are reasonable.

— Granny Ma didn't know that Third Grandma Jiang could kill people remotely. If she had known, she probably wouldn't have dared to threaten Third Grandma Jiang back then. After all, no matter how good money is, you have to be alive to enjoy it.

Now that Granny Jiang has gathered enough power, she's ready to deal with Granny Ma.

That day, Granny Ma came to ask Granny Jiang for money again, and Granny Jiang met her as usual.

But this time was different from before. This time, she didn't give the money to Granny Ma immediately. Instead, she waited until Granny Ma came in, then controlled her and used the Truth Fruit to question Granny Ma about the backup plans she had left behind.

As it turned out, Grandma Jiang was terrified and died of anger when she asked.

Needless to say, she was furious. The reason was that Granny Ma's letters had mysteriously disappeared long ago when she first came to threaten her. Someone else must have found out about her situation, so Granny Ma couldn't threaten her anymore. Yet she still dared to come and ask for money, and she foolishly gave it to her. That's why Granny Jiang was so angry.

"And her soul flew away in fright" goes without saying, referring to the fact that Granny Ma's letter had long been lost.

The letter Mama Ma left behind was lost when she first came to threaten her. So who took the letter?

The letter was taken, but why is there no further news? This silence is far more frightening than any movement.

As long as there's any movement, like this Granny Ma who noticed something was wrong and came to threaten her directly, then she'd know who it was, and she'd be easier to deal with. The worst kind is someone who stays silent, watching her in the shadows; she doesn't know who they are, and even if she wanted to deal with them, she wouldn't know who to target.

Of course, she doesn't have much power accumulated yet, so even if she knew who it was, it wouldn't be easy for her to make a move.

Then I wonder why the other party, knowing about this, hasn't made a move. Is it because they want to cause trouble for me secretly, or are they afraid of me and therefore dare not make a sound? If it's the latter, that's fine, but if it's the former, that's frightening.

When Grandma Jiang learned of this, she immediately erased Granny Ma's memory, making her forget what happened at the viewing platform.

She had already learned through the Truth Fruit that after the letter was lost, Granny Ma had stopped preparing letters. After all, if the letters were lost, what if she prepared more and they were lost too? It was quite possible that someone was monitoring Granny Ma. She knew that if she planned to continue delivering letters, someone would definitely not want her to spread the story of Granny Jiang to more people, and then someone would compete with her for Granny Jiang. So they would definitely take away the letters Granny Ma had prepared—wouldn't all her preparations have been for nothing?

Since Granny Ma stopped leaving letters and only used the incident of preparing the first letter to scare herself, Granny Jiang had no worries and naturally erased Granny Ma's memory, no longer giving her money.

Of course, Granny Jiang was afraid that if Granny Ma didn't get the money from her, those who took the letter might find something amiss and become certain that she really had powerful abilities, and then they wouldn't cause her any trouble. So, Granny Jiang changed Granny Ma's memories, making it seem like Granny Ma asked her for money, but she didn't have any, so Granny Ma didn't get it.

As for why she gave Mama Ma money when she asked her for it, when Grandma Jiang was altering her memories, she had Mama Ma used a handle against her for scolding Linlang, so she threatened her and asked her for money, which is why she gave it to her.

Although this evidence might cause Granny Ma to continue asking her for money in the future, it's better than letting her know that she's strange. As long as she finds out who secretly took the letter and eliminates them before that happens, she can then deal with Granny Ma without having to worry about giving her money in the future.

That's right. She doesn't plan to eliminate Granny Ma for the time being; she only erases her memories. Granny Ma has already spread the letters, and she needs to use the energy she has accumulated to eliminate those who have received the letters, not waste it on Granny Ma.

Because Granny Jiang was cautious, the people who were secretly observing when Granny Ma left did not notice anything amiss at first. After all, Granny Ma had come to ask for money, and Granny Jiang said she had no money and did not give it to her, which made Granny Ma mutter and complain about Granny Jiang not giving her money, which was quite normal.

But as time goes on, they will definitely find that the reason why Granny Ma asks for money is different from before; her memory has been erased.

Therefore, Grandma Jiang San had to act quickly to find the person who took the letter and eliminate them, otherwise those people would prove that she had powerful abilities and might do something to her.

Grandma Jiang was indeed a cautious person, but those who received the letter were all cunning old foxes, even more cautious than her. Otherwise, they wouldn't have secretly observed her for a year without finding anything amiss, and would still be watching her. Therefore, Grandma Jiang's exposure was only a matter of time, and there was no way to avoid it. (End of Chapter)
