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

After hearing this, Shen Ningning smiled sweetly, her round little face becoming tender and red.

“There is nothing wrong with recommending you to enter the palace to have meals with the emperor’s uncle, but why did Xiaowei suddenly think of this?”

Qi Xiuwei hesitated to speak and kept stealing glances at the maid next to her. She hesitated and couldn't think of an explanation.

On the other hand, when the maid saw this, she remembered Mrs. Qi's instructions, so she took the opportunity to add tea and apologized to Shen Ningning before Qi Xiuwei spoke:

"Your Highness, Concubine Qi was neglected before. We sent people to the palace but could not see her. No, Concubine Qi misunderstood and thought that the Qi Mansion did not want to take care of her."

"So, our old lady has always wanted to find an opportunity to make peace with Concubine Qi. Unfortunately, our master is a foreign minister and cannot send the young lady to the harem."

“So I wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to have dinner with the Emperor and ask the young lady to comfort Concubine Qi’s heart.”

I see.

 Shen Ningning blinked her big eyes in understanding.

She looked at Qi Xiuwei and saw Qi Xiuwei pursed her lips and frowned, as if she was extremely embarrassed.

Shen Ningning thought she was embarrassed to ask for help, so she said decisively: "No problem, it's a trivial matter, then I will give you the opportunity. It happens that the day after tomorrow, I will have dinner in the palace, and I will send someone to talk to the emperor in advance. Uncle said so."

 Qi Xiuwei lowered her head, her voice a little sad: "Thank you... Ning Ning."

Shen Ningning dislikes Concubine Qi very much, but the little guy also understands the reasons of the Qi family. After all, Concubine Qi is Xiaowei's aunt, and Shen Ningning is willing to help her once.

It's just that the little guy felt that when she left, Qi Xiuwei's expression seemed like she was about to cry?

 At the day after tomorrow.

Ye Changyi and the others entered the palace, and Shen Ningning gave the opportunity to Qi Xiuwei. Naturally, she did not go herself, so she went to the shop to check the accounts.

On a clear winter day, the cold wind is as sharp as a knife.

Pedestrians outside were wrapped in thick fur clothes and came and went.

Shen Ningning stood behind the counter, holding the account book with her little hand. Beside her, a pot of black tea and **** soup prepared by Aunt Yun was bubbling.

Uncle Zhong stood beside Shen Ningning and pointed to several notes on the account book.

"Boss, we have made back all the money we lost during the cold crisis. We can make a stable profit of two hundred taels a month. Adding up the several months, you and the second boss can get a dividend of about one thousand taels by the end of the year."

Shen Ningning's eyebrows arched with joy: "Uncle Zhong, thank you for your hard work. I won't treat you badly when the New Year comes."

 The hot spring village she and Lu Shaoyuan invested in is now doing well.

 Without the legend of ghosts, and suppressed by the reputation of the blessed girl, the number of noble families going to enjoy the hot springs gradually increased.

Lu Shaoyuan is mainly responsible for the business at the villa. He said he is counting money even if he closes his eyes and opens his eyes.

Shen Ningning guessed that this year would be a prosperous year.

If she makes a lot of money, she will buy some more jade and feed it to the fairyland.

At this moment, a suppressed cry came from the door—

 “Ning Ning...you, are you free now?”

Shen Ningning raised her head and saw Qi Xiuwei standing with her eyes red, holding on to the door frame.

She is thin and thin, and even though she wears a heavy cloak, she feels thin.

"Xiaowei!" Shen Ningning hurriedly ran over, took her hand and led her in: "What's wrong with you? Aren't you going to the palace to have dinner with the emperor's uncle? Why are you here?"

As she spoke, the little guy glanced behind her.

The group of Qi family servants who always followed closely were not there, but Qi Xiuwei in front of her could no longer help crying because of her concern.

“Ning Ning, I’m sorry, I lied to you.”

 The guests coming and going cast doubtful glances at them.

Shen Ningning took her and walked to the greenhouse in the backyard, letting Aunt Yun and Uncle Zhong stare ahead.

Wu'er was smart enough to recognize that it was Shen Ningning's friend who came, and immediately came in with hot tea. In the warm room, Qi Xiuwei sat in a chair, wiping tears sadly.

Shen Ningning patted her back and placed the warm tea brought by Wu'er into her cold palm.

 “Tell me nicely, what happened?”

Wu'er brought two more plates of pastries and stepped away wisely, not forgetting to say: "Sister Ningning, I'm in the front yard. If you need my help, just call me."

After he left, Qi Xiuwei choked up and said, "Last time the maid asked me to ask you for that opportunity, it was actually to use me to ease the relationship with my aunt, but that was not the case."

"That maid is my grandmother's. My grandmother forced me to ask you for this opportunity. She wanted me... to show my face in front of the emperor to make a good impression, and then asked my father to beg the emperor to remove me from the purple palace. Chen Palace will serve as a female official for His Highness the Crown Prince."

 Qi Xiuwei cried so hard that she couldn't breathe and her eyes were red.

“Ning Ning, believe me, I will never compete with you for the position of Crown Princess.”

The little guy blinked his big clear black eyes in surprise.

“Xiaowei, how come your grandmother is plotting against you?”

Qi Xiuwei lowered her eyelashes with tears in her eyes: "My grandmother always told me the truth at home, and even my father listened to her. I heard from my mother that when my aunt was still at home, my grandmother would force her to make friends with powerful people. It seemed... just like your mother When I stayed in the Qi Mansion, I had to be forced by my grandmother to win over the powerful."

Shen Ningning was surprised, and a hint of anger rose on her face: "She is so annoying!"

“She wants to win over powerful people so much that she can be her brother’s female official. What are you doing to embarrass you? Hmph!”

 Qi Xiuwei wiped her tears after listening to her words.

“Originally, I was going to go to the palace with all my strength, but... my aunt still hated our family. When she was in the cold palace, she had nothing, and my grandmother wouldn’t let my parents find a way to support her.”

"So when I entered the palace today, I was stopped by the young eunuch. After careful questioning, I found out that it was my aunt who told the emperor that I was not in good health. I was afraid that I would get over my illness if I entered the palace."

Qi Xiuwei choked up as she spoke: "I heard that she recommended Xie Yuanjiu. When I was forced to leave the palace, Xie Yuanjiu's carriage passed me by."

 Shen Ningning was really angry now.

"Why is your aunt so bad? You are her relative!"

Qi Xiuwei lowered her head and said in a dull voice: "Hey, it's better not to enter the palace, so as not to save my grandmother from forcing me to compete for the crown prince's female officials."

“Just now I jumped off the carriage and finally got rid of those eye-catchers. Ning Ning, can I stay with you for a while? My home is like a cage and I can’t breathe.”

Shen Ningning thought for a while and nodded decisively: "No problem!"

“I’m going to make it rain, so that when you get home, you can tell your grandmother that you came home late because you were caught in the heavy rain, and she won’t blame you.”

Qi Xiuwei paused in wiping her tears.

She was a little surprised.

"Ning Ning, you... can you really make God obey?" Qi Xiuwei immediately realized that she seemed to have asked a nonsense question.

Ning Ning is a decent and blessed daughter! The little fairy who took everyone through two natural disasters in succession!

Shen Ningning winked at her playfully.

“Yes, I will communicate with God and he will promise us.”

With that said, the little guy ran to the window with his back to Qi Xiuwei.

While she was out of sight, Shen Ningning pulled out a few dark clouds like black marshmallows from the fairyland with her little hands.

As soon as he loosened his fingers, the dark clouds flew into the sky and disappeared into the clouds.

 Shen Ningning waited with a smile.

 Little dark clouds~here comes a big one!
