Finally, a neighbor heard the noise and rushed over. The three of them were so scared that they wet themselves and kept shouting that there was a ghost.

The neighbors had no choice but to help the people into the house, close the door from the outside, and then leave them alone.

Wang Yiyi waited until the crowd dispersed before quietly making her way back home from the back of the mountain.

The news that the Jiang family was beaten by a "ghost" caused an even bigger sensation than the beating of Jiang Chengzong, and the story became increasingly bizarre as it spread.

Everyone said that the Jiang family had done something wrong and offended the gods. Many neighbors saw the three of them being beaten, but they didn't see anything.

When Da Ya heard this rumor, she couldn't help but suspect Wang Yiyi. That night, Wang Yiyi was gone for a long time, and then news spread that the Jiang family had been beaten.

My third sister has always been blessed by the gods.

However, she only had a slight suspicion in her heart and did not say anything. She felt that she had gotten her revenge for the Jiang family being beaten.

The next day, when Wang Yi went to sell tofu, he was in an extremely cheerful mood and couldn't help but whistle while driving.

She went to Liangping County first today because she was going back to Shixian County to do something important.

After delivering the tofu, Wang Yiyi went back to the RV to dress up, making sure she looked completely different from before, before heading to the backyard of the county government office.

She wanted to know what the magistrate's daughter's attitude was.

She thought about it for a long time last night. If she wanted Jiang Chengzong to break off the engagement, she had to let him marry someone better.

She waited outside the door for a long time before she saw the magistrate's daughter come out.

Unlike usual, she wasn't wearing fancy clothes today, but rather a maid's outfit, her eyes red and swollen, as if she had just been crying.

She saw Wang Yiyi and asked in a hoarse voice, "How is Jiang Lang?"

Wang Yi lowered her head, raised an eyebrow, and spoke in a tone that truly revealed her deep affection.

She changed to a sorrowful tone: "Young Master Jiang is in bad shape, very badly. The magistrate beat him too badly, and he still can't get out of bed."

Upon hearing this, Miss Li covered her mouth and choked back sobs, saying softly, "It's all my fault. I'm the one who made him like this. I shouldn't have gone to see him."

Wang Yiyi's tone was even lower, and there was a hint of crying in her voice: "Young Master Jiang said that this matter has nothing to do with Miss, but he keeps talking about Miss. I dare to ask Miss to go and see Young Master Jiang, otherwise I am really worried that he will not be able to make it through."

Miss Li lifted her foot, intending to follow Wang Yiyi, but then suddenly remembered something, pulled her foot back, and took out a letter: "My father won't let me go out. Give this letter to Jiang Lang and tell him to wait for me."

She shoved the letter into Wang Yiyi's arms, covered her face, and ran back into the house.

Wang Yiyi was a little dumbfounded. She had been hoping to get Miss Li to make the trip, but now that she had the letter, the trip wasn't a complete waste.

She read the letter, each word filled with affection. She snorted coldly, thinking, "What a lovesick fool. It's just a pity that Jiang Chengzong isn't truly sincere towards her."

She carefully put the letter away and turned to go to a theatrical troupe.

She found a woman of average appearance and figure: "I would like to ask you to sing a play."

Xiao Lanhua was overjoyed. She was of average appearance, average figure, and her voice was not pleasant. She had always done odd jobs in the opera troupe, but now someone had taken the initiative to ask her to sing.

She looked like she'd found a kindred spirit: "Sir, tell me, I can act in any kind of play."

Wang Yi counted out 500 coins from the money he had earned from selling the dagger and handed them to Xiao Lanhua: "I'll give you another 500 coins after this is done."

Xiao Lanhua was even happier to receive the money. Normally, these odd jobs would only get a penny or two as a tip from a customer. 500 coins was a huge sum, especially since she would get another 500 coins if the job was done.

All that silver tael belongs to her!

Wang Yi explained his requirements in detail, "Go and make that trip tomorrow."

He then took out ten coins: "It's a long way, why don't you rent an oxcart for your travel expenses?"

Xiao Lanhua accepted the money with trembling hands, tears welling in her eyes. It was the first time she had been treated with such respect.

She raised her hand and swore, "I will definitely get this done."

"I'll come find you tomorrow," Wang Yiyi said before leaving.

After being beaten by Wang Yiyi, the Jiang family stayed at home and never went out. Wang Dashan went to their house several times, but was turned away each time.

They went to see the village head and the clan chief, but both of them made various excuses to refuse.

The Wang family's desire to annul the engagement was naturally put on hold once again.

Wang Yiyi was afraid of hitting people too hard and delaying the annulment of the engagement, so she didn't hit them very hard. The Jiang family members only suffered minor injuries.

The village head and clan chief were probably also informed by the Jiang family, which is why they were unwilling to get involved in this mess.

Li was so anxious that blisters appeared on her lips: "Has Jiang Chengzong been scared out of his wits? How are we going to annul the engagement now?"

"Mother, just wait here." Wang Yiyi said calmly as she went to deliver the tofu as usual.

Now, with over 300 catties of tofu a day, Wang Yiyi can earn about one tael of silver. She won't let the Jiang family hold her back.

The next day, Wang Yiyi went to see Xiao Lanhua again and handed her the letter: "You must not open this letter. Just give it to Jiang Chengzong."

Xiao Lanhua tucked the letter into her bosom. "Don't worry, young master, I've been practicing repeatedly these past few days. Would you like to take a look?"

When Wang Yi did these things, he deliberately dressed up as a man.

The original owner was fourteen years old and rather thin, at an age when it was difficult to tell whether he was male or female. Wang Yiyi made slight changes and deliberately lowered his voice, and he became a teenager.

She nodded, and Xiao Lanhua immediately began her performance.

Wang Yiyi was very satisfied; the people in the opera troupe did indeed have some acting skills.

After Xiao Lan Hua left, Wang Yi Yi quickly returned to the village.

How could she possibly miss this scene?

No matter how slow the RV was, it was still much faster than the oxcart. When she walked back from the town, she happened to meet Xiao Lanhua at the village entrance.

Xiao Lanhua deliberately changed into a maid's outfit, and coupled with her intentionally arrogant demeanor, she attracted attention as soon as she entered the village.

Xiao Lanhua followed the instructions carefully and did not deliberately avoid the area. She took the initiative to ask people about the location of the Jiang family.

When someone approached her and asked who she was, she retorted sharply, "You dare to ask about my young lady?"

When Xiao Lanhua arrived at the Jiang family, news spread that a young lady from a wealthy family had come to see Jiang Chengzong.

Xiao Lanhua went to the Jiang family and looked them up and down before saying, "Where is Young Master Jiang? My young lady has something to give him."

Just as Wu was about to kick the intruder out, Jiang Chengzong heard the commotion and rushed out: "Did Miss Li send you?"

Xiao Lanhua neither confirmed nor denied it, but simply snorted in response.

Madam Wu naturally knew that her son was close to the county magistrate's daughter, whose surname was Li. She immediately changed her expression and said solicitously, "Miss, you must be tired from your journey. Please sit down and have a cup of tea before we talk."

Xiao Lanhua adopted a commanding presence, saying, "No need, I'm here to deliver a message from our young lady."

As she spoke, she took out a letter from her bosom: "This is from our young lady to Young Master Jiang. She has already persuaded our master. Our master's bottom line is that you can only marry our young lady in this lifetime. We hope that you can settle your family affairs as soon as possible and propose marriage soon."

Jiang Chengzong took the letter with trembling hands, his face filled with disbelief. He quickly glanced at it and confirmed it was indeed Miss Li's handwriting: "Does your young lady really say that?"

Xiao Lanhua raised her chin and glared at them: "You don't believe our young lady?"

Jiang Chengzong quickly cupped his hands in greeting: "No, no, I will handle it as soon as possible, please rest assured, Miss."

Xiao Lanhua snorted: "Young Master Jiang is indeed very charming. If my young lady hadn't threatened to kill herself, my master would never have agreed."

Jiang Chengzong repeatedly apologized and respectfully saw Xiao Lanhua off.
