Did the eldest daughter ascend the throne today?

Ning Zhiwei's eyes rolled around, "Really?"

"Yes, he and I..." Ning Wenyin's expression became firm, "We are just friends."

Ning Zhiwei was sure that something had happened to the two of them while they were recuperating, "Oh, friend."

However, she did not point it out, and said meaningfully, "Big sister, I hope you can be happy."

As long as she is happy, it doesn't matter if she remarries or lives alone.

Ning Wenyin laughed at herself, "Do I still have the right to be happy?"

In fact, she really wanted a child, but...

"Why not?" Ning Zhiwei was not a conservative person. The customs of the people in the northwestern frontier were open-minded, and it was common for a wife to remarry after her husband's death.

Ning Wenyin said quietly, "I am still a wife of the Qi family."

Oh my god, if she hadn't said it, Ning Zhiwei would have forgotten about this. The Zhenxi Marquis's Mansion collapsed, and Qi Yanjun died. However, because it was a marriage granted by the late emperor and could not be dissolved, the marriage had always been in name only.

This is a bit difficult.

"I'll see if I can find a solution from the new emperor."

Only the new emperor can overturn the old emperor's will, but in order to show filial piety, the new emperor will not do so.

Ning Wenyin knew this truth very well. She held Ning Zhiwei's arm and shook her head slightly, "Don't worry about my affairs. The court is too chaotic. Don't get involved."

"I have my measure."

Mr. Zhou took a few days to recuperate and recovered completely. Ning Zhiwei then handed over all the affairs of Baiyun County to Mr. Zhou, and he would serve as the acting county magistrate from then on.

"The imperial court will not send a county magistrate. You should practice first. We will take over Qinghe and Heishi counties in the future."

"Yes." Mr. Zhou knew that she had great ambitions and that this place would be her base, so she must manage it well.

He didn't ask why the county magistrate wouldn't come.

"Don't care about Su Mingjin?"

Ning Zhiwei said calmly, "I have sent a team to keep an eye on Su Mingjin. Once they dig out the mine, we will start to rob them."

Mr. Zhou: ...In terms of being evil, she is the most evil. Others have worked so hard to mine, and then the minerals they finally dug out were snatched away. She must be furious.

Hahaha, good, that’s good.

She transferred all matters to Mr. Zhou and called Chen Yindi over. "This is Chen Yindi, in charge of the grassland. You two should get acquainted. Yindi, if you have any problems in the future, please find Mr. Zhou. He is very capable."

Chen Yindi didn't care whether Mr. Zhou was powerful or not. She looked a little worried, "Are you leaving? Can't you take me with you?"

Ning Zhiwei smiled and said, "One year. If you still want to follow me to the northwest in one year, you should manage the pasture well during this period."

Chen Yindi understood that this was a test. "I'm afraid I can't do it alone. There are too many things I don't understand. I don't know how to arrange the skilled people you sent here."

Ning Wenyin heard it clearly, "Fifth sister, what are you going to do?"

Ning Zhiwei picked up the teacup and took a sip. "It's a waste to use that grassland only for raising cattle, sheep and horses. I want to make a few experimental plots to see if I can grow other plants."

"Also, I want to set up a few workshops to revitalize the economy of Baiyun County."

Ning Wenyin's heart moved, "Then, send your fourth sister over. She has a talent for farming."

Ning Zhiwei thought that although Ning Si was not very noticeable, he was very meticulous and had taken good care of the farmland of Qingluo Villa. "This is a good idea. Sister Si and Yindi will work together on the grassland, and Sister Eldest will be in charge of the business. The former county magistrate's industries and shops will all be handed over to you. Mr. Zhou will temporarily take over the post of county magistrate and take charge of the economy, people's livelihood and interrogation."

She bowed solemnly and said, "I'll leave everything to you."

Everyone returned the greeting, "Don't worry."

Chen Yindi hesitated for a moment, "Princess Jingning, can you help me choose a new name?"

This was a piece of cake, so Ning Zhiwei didn't refuse. "Okay, what's your mother's last name?"

"Sheng."

“Midsummer is brilliant, enthusiastic, prosperous, and full of hope and vigorous vitality. I wish your future will be full of flowers, brilliant and dazzling.”

"Do you like this name?"

Chen Yindi's eyes were filled with tears as she nodded desperately, "Shengxia, Shengxia, I like you very much. From now on, I will be called Shengxia. Thank you, Princess Jingning."

No one has ever sincerely blessed her, making her feel that she is a good person.

Ning Zhiwei left half of her troops behind, one to keep an eye on Su Mingjin, and only one quarter followed her in a simple vehicle to the northwest.

There was no forced march this time, they traveled during the day and rested at night. The situation in the northwest was more complicated, so the two countries temporarily ceased fighting and exchanged the cities they occupied in other countries.

The northwest is now divided into three forces. The young silver-faced general controls seven border cities and commands the Ning family's 100,000 troops. His headquarters is at Yumen Pass.

The General Zhenbei, who was transferred from the northeast by the imperial court, brought 30,000 troops to occupy five cities at the west gate, with his base camp at Jiayu Pass.

The Northwest Uprising Army claimed to have an army of 100,000. They took advantage of the chaos to occupy three cities, with their headquarters at Dingxi Pass.

It is in a three-legged tripod situation.

Along the way, she saw only scorched earth and people numbed by hunger. People's livelihood was in decline, lives were lost, and there was human tragedy everywhere.

The damage caused by the war is too great.

She sighed silently, hoping to do something for the people.

Yumen Pass, the base camp of the Ning family army.

Ning Zhiwei looked at the familiar city wall, and countless past events came to her mind. The faces of her closest family members flashed in her mind, and her eyes couldn't help but turn red. She missed them so much.

My grandfather was assassinated and died here.

She has come back!

A gust of sandstorm blew, Ning Zhi slightly turned her head to avoid it, and her veil drew a beautiful arc in the air.

The long line of people entering the city seemed to be stuck. There was no response for a long time. Ning Zhi frowned slightly and said, "Go and see what's going on?"

The guards hurried away and came back in a hurry, "It's Madam Ning and her female relatives in front, but they can't get in."

Ning Zhiwei didn't expect them to move so quickly and have already reached Yumen Pass. She was planning to send someone to welcome them once they were settled. "Why can't we get in?"

The guard's expression was a little strange, "Someone stopped them and didn't let them in."

Ning Zhiwei was puzzled. What was going on? "Go and take a look."

Old Madam Ning took the Ning family token left to her by Ning Zhiwei. It was said that with it, she could come and go freely in the areas under the jurisdiction of the Ning family army.

It was not used during the journey, as someone took care of everything at every stop, so they didn't have to worry about it.

Although Ning Zhiwei was not here, the people she left behind were very supportive and arranged everything for her, including food, clothing, housing and transportation.

So, the journey was relatively smooth.

"Little brother, why don't you let us into the city?"

A young man with a rebellious look shouted, "By order of the Silver-faced Young General, the Ning family is not allowed to enter."

The Ning family looked at each other in bewilderment. What the hell was he talking about? Wasn't this the Ning family's territory?

"why?"
