Thrown Into the Wolf’s Den! Zaizai Holds Space In His Hands To Survive the Disaster Year

For two days, many powerful officials and wealthy businessmen went to visit the Imperial Advisor in private.

It is not known exactly what was discussed, but after these people returned home, they immediately asked their servants to sell the cold-proof equipment they collected.

Although the common people didn’t know what was happening, they saw that rich and powerful people had done this, and they quickly followed suit.

 For a time, the rumor that the lucky girl Shen Ningning told lies spread among the people.

 The words of the National Preceptor brought the price of cold-proof equipment in the city to freezing point, and even affected the cities and counties around the capital.

Gradually, it evolved to the point where some people threw cotton clothes and cloth directly on the street, but no one picked them up.

Now no one wants one or two pairs of cotton shoes, so they are left to be thrown on the street and eventually picked up by beggars.

 When the news reached the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Shen Ningning had just finished lunch.

The little guy was sitting in the hexagonal pavilion, talking to some of his close classmates.

At this time, Ye Changyi's voice came from not far away: "Princess, have you heard?"

“There’s chaos outside because of your random rumors!”

“You created panic and caused everyone to buy cotton clothes indiscriminately. Now the National Preceptor says there is no snow disaster. How do you explain it?”

Shen Ningning raised her dark eyes and looked at Ye Changyi and several young ladies standing angrily in front of her.

 “I don’t want to explain.” The little guy said Nuonuo.

 She calmly took a bite of the sweet cake in her hand.

A pair of watery eyes were sparkling with broken light: "If you don't believe it, just don't believe it."

 She has already reminded her!

 For Shen Ningning, it is better to take precautions in advance than to wait for natural disasters to strike.

Ye Changyi was even more furious when she saw her attitude.

　　When she was running for a female official in the palace, Shen Ningning had always suppressed her.

 Now that she has become a female official, who among the people around her does not follow her and compliment her?

 Shen Ningning didn't take her seriously yet.

Ye Changyi became even more domineering, her eyebrows squeezing out: "You are really irresponsible. It was in vain that the emperor named you a blessed girl."

"And you, relying on this title, wantonly spread false news here. How can you deserve the emperor's trust?"

  Shen Ningning finished eating the sweet cake and slowly wiped her fingertips with a handkerchief.

Her voice was soft and brisk: "The emperor's uncle named me a lucky girl because I really caused heavy rain."

“As for whether there will be a snowstorm, if you don’t believe it, you don’t have to listen to me.”

 The little guy said this and stood up to leave.

Ye Changyi didn't expect that Shen Ningning would not take her seriously!

"You can't leave!" Ye Changyi reached out and grabbed the little guy's wrist.

 She had to say something to prevent Shen Ningning from coming off stage.

So, Ye Changyi said sharply: "So many people outside have lost money because of what you did."

“Cotton coats and quilts are scattered all over the street, but no one wants them. You must be responsible for compensating them.”

“Otherwise, I will lead everyone to isolate you, and the Chinese Academy of Sciences will not accept a liar like you!”

Shen Ningning withdrew her little hand, and a look of seriousness appeared on her fair and round face.

 “What did you say? It’s all over the street?”

Ye Changyi sneered in her heart, finally knew she was afraid?

She raised her chin and said, "Go and see for yourself. The National Preceptor said there will be no natural disasters this winter, and everyone can't wait to sell off the extra cold-proof equipment they bought."

“However, it’s all because of you. They bought too much and couldn’t even sell it, so they had to throw it on the street.”

“So, you still don’t admit that you are the culprit of spreading rumors?”

Shen Ningning ignored her and turned her head happily, saying to her classmates: "Let's go pick up the cotton clothes they don't want!"

The classmates were stunned: "But the princess and the imperial master said that there is no natural disaster."

"He said what was his, and I picked up what was mine. I didn't listen to him." After the little guy said it, he looked at them: "Are you going?"

 They look at me and I look at you.

 Finally, the classmates shook their heads together: "Forget it, there is no place to put it after I pick it up."

“Yeah,” someone said, “Last time I followed the trend and bought ten velvet gloves, and my mother scolded me.”

Ye Changyi folded his arms and sneered at the side, staring at Shen Ningning: "Did you hear that? It's all your fault!"

Shen Ningning ignored her and shouted in a soft voice—

“I’m going to pick up cotton-padded clothes, shoes and quilts for free on the street. Is anyone with me?”

 No one responded. After all, the National Advisor never misses a chance when surveying the sky.

Shen Ningning pouted: "Okay, if you don't go, I'll go by myself."

 I don’t want any supplies I picked up for free.

Just as she was about to leave, a cold voice came: "I'm with you."

Everyone turned their heads and saw Xu Jingxi walking towards them.

 His clothes were very thin and his cuffs were washed white.

The clothes were obviously sky-blue, but they looked as white as snow when he wore them.

 A few young men burst out laughing.

They pointed at Xu Jingxi, their mocking voices undisguised—

“The person who needs to pick up clothes the most is indeed Xu Jingxi in the entire Chinese Academy of Sciences.”

 “Oh, I really don’t know how he will survive in the future.”

Shen Ningning's watery eyes glared at them.

She took the initiative to grab Xu Jingxi's sleeve: "Ignore them, we'll pick them up."

Xu Jingxi is not affected by the ridicule from the outside world at all.

His elegant and indifferent face is as silent as the frost and snow in winter.

Xu Jingxi gently pulled away his sleeves, not used to being friendly with others.

“Let’s go before class in the afternoon.” He said calmly and took the lead.

Shen Ningning followed with her little feet.

Master Han happened to come over to look for Shen Ningning, but seeing her leaving, she shouted a few words, but Shen Ningning didn't hear her.

“Who knows what they did?” Master Han asked.

Ye Changyi hurriedly stepped forward to complain: "Master Han, please take care of it quickly."

“Princess Funing took Xu Jingxi to the street to pick up those unwanted cotton clothes and quilts.”

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Han quickly followed up: "Really? Then I have to go too. Why don't you just pick up something for free?"

 The students around him were dumbfounded.

How come Mr. Han has the same idea as Shen Ningning?

The little guy and Xu Jingxi left the Chinese Academy of Sciences and walked around two streets. Sure enough, they saw something dark stuffed in a basket at the corner.

Xu Jingxi stepped forward and took out the basket. It was all filled with dirty quilts and cotton cloth.

Shen Ningning knelt down and pulled it twice with her small hands: "What a pity. It's so thick, so I just threw it away and it got dirty."

However, Xu Jingxi saw her next to her and said calmly: "It doesn't matter, just wash it and it will be clean."

 He pulled up the basket, folded the cotton cloth and quilt again and put them inside.

 The two of them were like poor homeless people, rummaging through straw baskets at every street corner.

 Fortunately, I have gained a lot.

 I picked up a total of six quilts, ten large cotton coats, and three pairs of cotton shoes.

 I was lucky enough to get half of a bearskin, but I don’t know where the other half went.

Xu Jingxi and Shen Ningning were squatting in the corner, with a little dust on their fair faces.

At this moment, Xu Jingxi took two straw baskets and divided the supplies.

"The quilt and the big cotton coat are half for each person. You have two pairs of cotton shoes and I will keep one pair. This bearskin..." He paused and stuffed it into Shen Ningning's basket: "Here you go too."

Shen Ningning squatted in front of him, like a cute little mushroom.

"It doesn't take that much. Just give me two quilts and three big cotton coats. I don't want the shoes."

 She bought a lot, and her home stocked up with more than 100 items.

What Shen Ningning lacks most now is firewood and piles for fire, but there are countless wood in the fairyland.

 It’s just troublesome to cut.

 So, she would rather collect more now. When it is not enough, she will go to the fairyland to cut wood.

At this moment, the shopkeeper of the venison restaurant nearby came out.

I saw two small children squatting in the corner, dividing things.

 He immediately let out a cry: "What a shame, why are you picking up things here?"

“It’s too cold. You two, brother and sister, come in with me and have a cup of hot tea.”
