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

 At the end of get out of class in the evening, Shen Ningning left the Chinese Academy of Chinese Studies and was about to get on the carriage and go home.

Unexpectedly, Ye Changyi stuck his head out of his carriage and called to her.

 “Hey, Shen Ningning!”

 The little guy turned his eyes and saw a small face, flushed like two clouds.

 “What’s the matter?” Shen Ningning blinked her eyes.

 Ye Changyi actually threw out a bag of silver.

Seeing that it was about to fall into Shen Ningning's arms, Wuchun hurriedly stepped forward and took it.

Ye Changyi snorted coldly: "The last time I went home, my grandfather said that you have done good deeds and great justice."

"A fur coat has been sold for eight hundred taels outside. I don't want to take advantage of you. The silver here is the difference in price that I will replenish for you!"

 After saying that, before Shen Ningning could react, Ye Changyi had already ordered the carriage to leave.

　　The little guy came back to his senses and took two steps after him: "But the ones they sell are thick ones, that's why they charge so much. Mine are thinner."

 However, the Ye family's carriage has already gone far.

Shen Ningning looked at a whole package of banknotes, a little confused.

Even Late Spring asked: "Princess, did the Ye family realize that you sold them things cheaply?"

Shen Ningning's voice was full of innocence: "I'm not cheap at all."

I really don’t know what this Ye Changyi is thinking about.

　　Two days have passed.

Ye Changyi would go to the palace every five days to accompany the Ninth Prince studying in the Imperial Academy and serve him with pen and ink.

 This day is no exception.

 All the princes were relatively easy to get along with, and Ye Changyi had almost no chance to communicate directly with them.

 On the contrary, the Ninth Prince was very considerate and caring.

  Occasionally during his study breaks, he would ask Ye Changyi to go outside to get some fresh air.

 Just like that, the day’s study is over.

Ye Changyi was about to leave the palace, but the Ninth Prince smiled gently at her and said, "My mother-in-law said that I want to keep you at the palace banquet tonight. Is it convenient?"

"Invitation from the Queen? That is of course convenient." Ye Changyi was very happy.

 She had a hard time winning the title of female official.

 Concubine Rong and the Ninth Prince were both gentle and approachable, and she liked this position even more.

 After dinner at night, the Ninth Prince left first to review his lessons.

  Concubine Rong left Ye Changyi to talk.

"Last time you were worried about Princess Funing. When I see you today, I feel that you are radiant. Has the trouble in your heart been solved?"

Concubine Rong has a quiet and gentle appearance, holding a book in her hand and sitting on the edge of the couch.

 The way she talked to Ye Changyi was like her elders, very cordial.

Ye Changyi also naturally said what was in his heart.

"My dear, my daughter's affairs, now that I think about it, are really unnecessary trouble."

 “Oh? Why do you say that?”

"Shen Ningning certainly has supplies, but since the cold disaster started, she should have given out everything she could."

Ye Changyi held hot tea in her hand and did not hide her thoughts.

She said: "I have inquired about it, and she does support many people in the city."

“She refused to help her classmates before, probably because most of the students in the Chinese Academy of Sciences were from prominent families and it was not her turn to help.”

"She knows that the poor people in the city are the ones she needs help, so I am not angry with her anymore."

“Besides, she doesn’t have much herself. I’m afraid the thirty fur coats sold to us were all her best efforts.”

Concubine Rong's eyes changed, and the candle on the table made a "pop" sound, burning and exploding.

The gentle breeze that came from nowhere blew and the shadow of Concubine Rong on the cold blue marble gradually lengthened.

Her gentle face was full and moist, like a clay body that could not feel emotions or anger.

After Ye Changyi finished speaking, there was no response from Concubine Rong for a long time.

 When she looked up, she saw Concubine Rong's eyes looking at one place, as if she was distracted.

"Mother?" Ye Changyi was a little worried: "Did I say the wrong thing?"

Concubine Rong seemed to be "alive" now. She smiled gently and said, "No, I am thinking that it is rare to see such a kind-hearted child like you in the world."

 Ye Changyi smiled implicitly with some joy.

The eldest maid next to Concubine Rong came up to add more tea, but said, "I feel that Miss Ye must have been deceived by Princess Funing."

Ye Changyi was startled: "What did she lie to me about?" The eldest maid held the teapot and said, "Everyone knows that Princess Funing opened a granary to store wood."

"This is not just one place. Before the cold disaster came, the Xie family went around to buy firewood for Princess Funing."

“It’s just firewood, so you can imagine how much she has, not to mention the supplies. She can feed a village of people and the entire Langshan Mountain. How much more can she have?”

“I feel that I just don’t want to give it, so I deceived Miss Ye.”

Ye Changyi frowned and said in doubt: "How is that possible? I don't think Shen Ningning is such a person..."

 But she didn’t have the confidence to say it.

 Because Shen Ningning is smart and they are not familiar with each other.

No one can say what kind of personality Shen Ningning has.

At this time, Concubine Rong scolded the eldest maid: "Jinzhen, don't talk nonsense. I hate people around me who are gossiping and making suspicions."

 The eldest palace maid hurriedly knelt down and said, "This slave is too talkative. Please forgive me."

Ye Changyi could not sit still, stood up upset, and left in a hurry.

　　"Mother, it's getting late, so I'll go home first."

After she left, the eldest maid stood at the door and watched Ye Changyi's figure go away.

 She returned to Concubine Rong and saw Concubine Rong cutting lamps and candles.

“Mother, Miss Ye seems to be full of suspicion.”

Concubine Rong raised the corners of her lips in a half-smile.

She looked at the dancing candles: "Sometimes, the top ones are burned out and cut off to make the lights brighter."

Ye Changyi's understanding of Shen Ningning was not what Concubine Rong expected.

 It doesn’t matter, then forcefully change her mind.

 The eldest maid nodded and took out a letter from the cabinet.

“Mother, if you want to be smart, you must be the fourth young lady of the Xie family.”

"You see, last month you sent her a letter to comfort her, and she was so grateful that she wrote so many letters."

Concubine Rong took the letter from Xie Yuanjiu, looked at it briefly, and then put it back.

She looked a little happy: "Yes, Xie Yuanjiu is really smart."

　　"You can reply to this letter on my behalf and give me another two hundred taels to send it over."

“Tell her that Prime Minister Xie wants her to endure hardships and exercise, and I can’t help her a lot. I hope she can understand.”

“As soon as there is a chance, I will definitely help her return to Beijing.”

The eldest maid agreed and turned to write a letter.

On this day, Ye Changyi went to the palace as usual to read to the Ninth Prince.

 When the time came, Concubine Rong specially sent a palace carriage to take her home.

He also said: "Recently, there have been several incidents in the city where people blocked the carriages of noble families and robbed them. However, I still sent someone to **** you back."

 Ye Changyi thanked him repeatedly.

 But when the carriage passed an alley, she heard a familiar soft voice.

 “Wait, stop the car.” Ye Changyi ordered the driver.

At her request, the carriage slowly backed up and faced the alley.

Ye Changyi saw Shen Ningning's carriage parked at the door of Guangyang County Magistrate Fu's house.

The little guy was smiling, instructing Chen Ye and the Fu family's servants to help carry things.

Baskets of pork, rice noodles, and a dozen wrapped thick fur robes were delivered to the Fu family.

Even bundles of firewood!

Fu Yuansong came out to greet him personally and kept thanking him: "Ning Ning, I was already embarrassed to talk to you before. I feel really bad that you gave me so much back."

"Grandpa Fu, don't be polite to me, carry it in quickly~" Shen Ningning smiled as delicately as a flower.

Ye Changyi gritted his teeth and saw everything while sitting in the carriage.

Her ears echoed with the words of the palace maid Jinzhen—

“Mostly I’m hiding it and don’t want to give it to you.”

  Shen Ningning... is so generous to a county magistrate!

 The county magistrate is neither a poor person nor a disaster victim. She can give as much as she wants.

 Sure enough, as Jinzhen said, Shen Ningning was all pretending in front of them, but was actually very selfish!

Ye Changyi put down the curtain and said angrily: "Let's go!"

She forgot to care about why Concubine Rong’s coachman wanted to take her home via the Guangyang County road.

 She was filled with anger that Shen Ningning was unwilling to help everyone.
