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

 While living in the Ye family's house these few days, Shen Ningning was not completely unaware of it.

 Her sweet potato vines actually grew faster than they did in Langshan.

 Put it in a sheltered place on the porch, and the green vines have actually grown taller in the past two days.

 In the words of the villagers, the soil must have begun to bear fruit.

 The next step is the process of the sweet potato growing slowly.

  Shen Ningning analyzed the reasons.

Probably because the Ye family's house is far away from the outskirts of Beijing, and it is on the sunny side of the mountain, it is not that cold compared to Langshan Mountain.

 The little guy took out the booklet seriously and recorded his findings.

 That evening.

Jiang Zhilai helped Shen Ningning pack her bags.

“I just passed by other ladies’ yards and saw them eating and taking a walk.” Jiang Zhi said.

Shen Ningning smiled knowingly: "I've eaten too many sweet potatoes and I'm going to have gas."

Jiang Zhi paused, then laughed and said: "Isn't it just farting? It's a normal thing, but they want to save face. I can see that they all have faces as if they are facing a formidable enemy, so they don't let the maids get close."

Shen Ningning shook her little head, took out the dried meat from the cloth bag under the pillow, and handed it to Jiang Zhi.

She said: "Sweet potatoes are really good. You won't get sick if you eat too much, and they are good for eliminating flatus."

Jiang Zhi took the dried meat and looked at it again and again.

The meat was cut into crystal clear thin slices. It was probably knocked with the back of a knife to break the tendons, making the meat more tender and firm.

 It has been cooked over a high fire, coated with honey, sprinkled with salt and pepper, and topped with white sesame seeds.

This will make your mouth full of fragrance after one sip.

Shen Ningning and Jiang Zhi had a full meal, and at the end of the meal, they both had a bowl of hot spring water.

　　Quenches thirst and relieves tiredness.

Just when they finished eating, there was a knock on the door.

Shen Ningning couldn't help but ask: "Who is it?"

“Princess Princess, it’s me, Chen Wanru.” A soft voice came.

 Chen Wanru, the second young lady of the Chen family, is also one of the high-ranking ladies invited by Ye Changyi this time.

 The little guy went to open the door, and Chen Wanru showed a gentle smile: "Princess, can you go in and talk easily?"

Shen Ningning nodded, turned her body sideways and said, "Come in."

She poured Chen Wanru a cup of tea, which was made with Lingquan water, but Chen Wanru waved her hand and declined.

She said: "It's getting late, so I'll just tell you why I'm here."

“I’m really sorry for bothering you late at night, but I’m also asking for my brother. The princess’s second brother is about to return to Beijing to take up the post of Shaoqing of Dali Temple.”

“My eldest brother is serving as the chief minister of Dali Temple. In other words, when your second brother returns to Beijing soon, the relationship between the two of them will be that of a superior and a subordinate.”

Shen Ningning sat on the bench, her little hands pressing her knees obediently, and she blinked her big eyes twice.

 “Then what?” The little guy didn’t know why.

 Second brother? Xie Mingan?

 Chen Wanru took out a long box from his sleeve.

 After opening it, there was a slender seven-color gemstone bracelet inside.

 The gemstones of fine quality are all about the size of a little finger.

Take a pure gold chain and thread it through it. It has various colors and shines brightly. It is worth a lot at first sight.

“This gift is my filial piety to the Xie family on behalf of my eldest brother. When your second brother comes back to Beijing, I’d like to ask you to give him a kind word.”

 “My eldest brother is more reckless, he...”

 Chen Wanru didn't even finish her words, Shen Ningning rejected the box.

 The little guy shook his head decisively: "I have nothing to do with my second brother's affairs."

 “Besides, I haven’t even seen him yet!”

 She had only heard from Xie Suzhi, Xie Mingxu, and the Xie family that the second brother Xie Ming'an was an extremely cold person!

 The two sons of the Xie family, Xie Mingxu and Xie Mingan, both followed Xie Suzhi's nature.

 Indifferent, sober, cruel.

Also very smart.

Otherwise, it would not happen. The two of them were still young, both civil and military, and held a decisive position in the officialdom.

However, as the eldest son, Xie Mingxu was raised by Shen Siyi himself, so he brought a bit of the gentleness of his mother's personality.

 But Xie Mingan is different. He seems to have been disconnected from his family since he was a child.

Chen Wanru did not expect that Shen Ningning refused so decisively.

They say you don’t hit someone with a smile, but Princess Funing doesn’t give her any face.

 Chen Wanru couldn't hold back the smile on her face.

He said with some reluctance: "You are a family. It is easier for you to talk to Young Master Xie than for us."

Shen Ningning pursed her lips and said, "I'm not the biological daughter of the Xie family. Why would my second brother listen to me on important matters?"

 “If it was a small matter, you wouldn’t have to come to me.”

 As a result, Chen Wanru could no longer speak at all.

 She put the things away and stood up, but stopped talking.

Shen Ningning then said, "I'll take you to the door~" Chen Wanru was too embarrassed to stay any longer.

Just when he got outside the door, he couldn't help but turn around and say: "My eldest brother has a reckless temper, and I am also afraid that they will have conflicts and misunderstandings in the future."

“The princess and I have become friends once we met. If the eldest brother makes trouble, I’m afraid…”

Shen Ningning said, "Miss Chen Er, you should go home quickly and teach your elder brother a lesson."

 “Tell him not to be so reckless.”

Chen Wanru's expression froze, then she nodded: "Yes... you are right."

“By the way, Princess, why does your house smell so fragrant? Have you eaten?”

Shen Ningning picked up the dried sweet potatoes placed on the cabinet nearby.

“You have a really good nose. Would you like a bite of the freshly roasted sweet potato?”

 Chen Wanru hurriedly refused and left in a hurry.

After she left, Jiang Zhicai said: "This Miss Chen Er is really strange."

“Her eldest brother hasn’t offended your second brother yet, so he came to plead for mercy in advance?”

Shen Ningning scratched her face with her little hand: "So I guess it's not that simple."

“Grandma often said that you can eat random things, but you can’t say random words, and you can’t collect things, otherwise, you will be short-handed.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the little guy held his stomach and heard a gurgling sound.

 She and Jiang Zhi looked at each other, and they both laughed.

 “Looks like you can’t eat too much sweet potato!”

 Shen Ningning had a good night's sleep.

 When she got up the next day, she was checking her sweet potato vines on the porch.

“I’ll take you home in a little while.” Shen Ningning stretched out her cute little finger and gently touched the sweet potato vine.

 Be as attentive as you are to the small animals you take care of yourself.

At this moment, someone ran past outside in a panic.

With the servants shouting in horror: "Quick, tell the ladies to pack their things and leave quickly!"

Shen Ningning walked to the door in surprise, only to see Jiang Zhi running towards her with a stern look on her feet.

Jiang Zhi carried Shen Ningning on her shoulders.

 The little guy was puzzled: “What happened!”

“There is a group of bandits who are disaster victims who appear out of nowhere. They come up from the foot of the mountain and rob everyone they see. They will find them here soon. Let’s go quickly.” Jiang Zhi said.

Shen Ningning hurriedly kicked her calves: "I can't throw away my sweet potato vines!"

 Jiang Zhi then turned around again, holding the flower pot in one hand and the little guy in the other.

　　However, she was a woman after all. She had been injured in the heart before. Now her face was slightly pale and a thin layer of sweat appeared on her forehead.

 When Shen Ningning saw it, she immediately wanted to get down to the ground and run away.

Jiang Zhi was worried: "If chaos breaks out, I'm afraid you will be caught by them."

However, when they ran to the door of the house, they saw Ye Changyi running back with a pale face.

　　The servants who followed her also hurriedly rushed into the house.

 Everyone is stuck here and it’s noisy.

 “What’s going on?” Shen Ningning asked in a soft voice.

Ye Changyi's lips trembled: "They are coming up, they are so scary, they have knives in their hands!"

"What should we do? What should we do? We can't escape. The mountain behind is a cliff. We can't escape!"

 She almost cried as she spoke.

 Shen Ningning jumped out of Jiang Zhi's arms.

She waved her hand and calmly ordered: "What can I do? Close the door first!"

 Subsequently, Shen Ningning asked Jiang Zhi and the servants of the mansion to go to the kitchen to get oil.

“Water around the eaves! Don’t give them a chance to climb up, hurry up.”

Everyone was in a mess like ants on a hot pot. Fortunately, Shen Ningning came out in time to calm the troops.

So the servant and Jiang Zhi immediately went to the kitchen to get oil.

 Ye Changyi and several ladies were hiding aside and shivering.

Shen Ningning climbed up the ladder and took a look.

At the foot of the hillside, many people surged up from the ground. Their shouts were so loud that even from such a distance, you could still hear -

“When the officers and soldiers drove us away, we just robbed and fought with them!”

Shen Ningning's face looked serious, and she immediately jumped off the ladder.

"No, we can't take the outer court. Leave it to them. We'll go to the inner court."

Everyone listened to her instructions. When the little guy saw Ye Changyi and the others, he immediately said: "Take off the bracelets on your hands and the hairpins on your heads and throw them at the door."

 Ye Changyi and the others hurriedly followed suit.

Shen Ningning saw the servants dousing the eaves with oil, and the roar outside the door was approaching.

Someone even kicked the door with a bang outside.

Shen Ningning waved her hand: "Let's go! Go to the inner courtyard."
