Chapter 415: Cannon Fodder She Stole the Golden Finger of the Heroine
At the same time, Jiang's father, who was far away on the other side, was also filled with worry. After all, his little daughter had just married into the Meng family not long ago, and now such an accident had happened, how could he not worry?
Fortunately, Su Lan, standing by, comforted him in time: "Don't worry too much, father. Old Master Meng has always been kind and generous, and I'm sure he won't treat my sister unfairly. Besides, our family will soon arrive in Lingcheng and start a new life. Let the past fade away with the wind."
After hearing Su Lan's comforting words, Jiang's father's frown relaxed a little, but the worry in his eyes had not completely disappeared.
Su Lan stood quietly, her gaze fixed on the towering, imposing city gate not far away. The corners of her mouth lifted slightly, a confident and resolute smile forming.
At this moment, she tightly grasped the mysterious planting space in her hand, her heart full of expectation and longing - because she knew that from this moment on, she would embark on a journey full of challenges and opportunities, making money through this magical planting space to support the people behind her who depended on her.
Although Lingcheng is remote, it's not a lifeless wasteland. In a previous life, the original owner successfully built a family business by growing fresh, delicious vegetables in the cultivation space. Now, Su Lan decided to follow the original owner's path, step by step, to create a glorious life of his own.
Upon arriving in Lingcheng, Su Lan didn't hesitate at all and decisively spent a full fifty taels of silver to rent five houses with spacious courtyards. She personally directed the tribesmen to move into their new homes in an orderly manner, arranging everything properly.
After all the tribesmen were properly settled, Su Lan took a short rest, then selected some smart and capable tribesmen and led them to various places in the city to inquire in depth about the market prices of various vegetables.
After returning to Kyoto, Meng Fan and Jiang Nian lived a very difficult life.
It is not known whether the emperor, who was far away in the capital, had heard the rumors coming from the small county, but considering that Mr. Meng had devoted the first half of his life to the court and worked until his death, he finally ordered the abolition of Meng Fan's position as major general and ordered him to return home to reflect on his mistakes.
As for Mr. Meng, he was filled with disgust towards his grandson because of the ridiculous marriage exchange farce. So, he immediately ordered General Meng to banish Meng Fan and his new wife Jiang Nian to live in the most remote courtyard away from the main courtyard.
You know, the Meng family is a prominent family with many descendants, so they don't need a grandson to support the family. What's more, Meng Fan has now been crippled of his martial arts and has become a discarded child in the family.
The small courtyard they lived in was a pitiful place, with only two maids serving them, and no one else ever set foot in it. However, how could the proud Meng Fan accept being ruthlessly abandoned by his family? He even tried to submit a petition to the imperial court, reporting the actions of that vicious woman, Jiang Lan.
But strangely, every time he tried to open his mouth to complain, his throat seemed to be tightly gripped by an invisible hand, and he couldn't make a sound. After this happened many times, the doctor from the mansion came to treat him and finally concluded that this was the sequelae of the accident.
Oh, and there's Jiang Nian's cultivation space! As long as he can obtain this rare treasure, why worry about regaining the emperor's favor and trust, and becoming his confidant again? Not only that, with this magical space, he can slowly cultivate his own powerful power. In time, when the time is right, he may be able to overthrow the dynasty and trample underfoot those who abandoned him!
The more Meng Fan thought about it, the more excited he became. His heart was filled with endless longing and anticipation for the cultivation space. So, he couldn't wait to find Jiang Nian and ask her directly about the space. However, what Meng Fan never expected was that in response to his urgent questioning, Jiang Nian only stammered and hesitantly said, "Husband...Husband, the cultivation space has disappeared. I...I really don't know what to do."
Hearing this, Meng Fan was stunned at first, then revealed an expression of disbelief, and then shouted angrily: "Disappear? Humph, Jiang Nian, don't try to deceive me! No matter what method you use, even if you use all your tricks, you must summon it out for me and take out something truly useful! Otherwise..."
At this point, Meng Fan's originally handsome face instantly became extremely gloomy. His eyes stared at Jiang Nian like a venomous snake, emitting a chilling cold light. "I will make sure you experience a punishment even more cruel and brutal than that of last month! By then, I'm afraid even being unable to live or die will become a luxury!"
Faced with Meng Fan's ferocious threats and intimidation, Jiang Nian's face paled, her body trembling uncontrollably. She stared in horror at the man who had once claimed to love her, tears streaming down her face. She choked and begged, "No... no, my husband! Please believe me just this once. Didn't you say we were a loving couple in our past lives? Can't you, for all my wholehearted support, spare me this time? Wuuwuwu..."
"Pa!" A crisp and loud slap suddenly exploded in the room where it was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop, as if a thunderbolt had broken through the silent night sky.
"Shut up, you shameless bitch! A bitch like you who has been slept with by thousands of men, what qualifications do you have to negotiate terms with me..." The man's eyes were wide open, his face was distorted and ferocious, and he was spewing vicious words.
This sudden slap hit Jiang Nian's face like a sledgehammer, leaving her dizzy and instantly awake. She slowly raised her head in disbelief, her eyes fixed on the once elegant man, now fading. A wave of sadness and despair washed over her like a tide: Could this be the husband she had chosen so desperately?
"Hahahaha..." Jiang Nian suddenly burst into a shrill laugh, his laughter full of self-mockery and grief. "Who do you think you are? You are just a hypocritical hypocrite! How dare you say that to me? Aren't you also a dirty and filthy person? Being..."
However, before she could finish her words, she was rudely interrupted by the humiliated and enraged Meng Fan. He suddenly stretched out his hands and tightly grasped Jiang Nian's slender neck, almost crushing it with such force.
"Shut up! Don't mention that again!" Meng Fan's eyes were bloodshot and veins bulged on his forehead. It was obvious that he had lost his mind.
