Did the eldest daughter ascend the throne today?

In the carriage, an elderly man with white hair and a very bad complexion was half lying on a soft couch.

In the corner of the carriage, medicine was boiling on a red stove, and a slim and beautiful girl was staring at it intently.

After a while, a gentle voice sounded in the carriage, "Grandfather, take the medicine."

The old man opened his eyes, cloudy and lifeless.

The girl stepped forward, helped him up, and carefully helped him drink the medicine.

The old man looked at her with pity in his eyes, "Rong'er, thank you for your hard work."

Ronger smiled gently, "This is what a granddaughter should do, so it's not hard at all."

The old man patted her shoulder and lay back down.

"When we get to Yumen Pass, I'll ask your elder sister to help you find a good marriage."

The girl's expression darkened. "Grandfather, I have already broken off my marriage twice. I dare not ask for a good marriage. I just want a place to live."

The old man couldn't help but sigh. Among all his grandchildren, this granddaughter was the most well-behaved and filial, but her fate was the most difficult.

His parents died early, and he was raised by his grandmother since childhood.

The marriage was extremely unsuccessful. One of the betrothals was arranged by him when he was still a child, but the girl died of illness before the wedding. Naturally, he would not let his granddaughter become a widow, so he decisively canceled the marriage.

The man was unwilling at first, but he had to cancel the engagement due to the power of the Duan family. However, he slandered the woman behind her back, saying that she was fickle and did not understand the word chastity.

Because of this, her reputation plummeted, and even with the Duan family's background, she could only find a lower-class marriage partner.

After careful selection, a poor student who was going to Beijing to take the imperial examination was chosen. The student was very happy to board the Duan family, and the Duan family helped him rise to prominence.

As a result, something happened to the Duan family just before the wedding, and the other party immediately came to cancel the engagement, distanced themselves from the relationship, and spoke in a very nice way.

Rong'er was so shocked that she fell ill. Fortunately, the Duan family did not give up on her.

"you……"

People lined up in an orderly manner at the city gate to enter the city, and everyone was behaving themselves, but for some reason, someone suddenly started shouting loudly.

"Jingning County Lady, Jingning County Lady."

The old man sat up straight suddenly, lifted the curtain and saw that everyone was staring at the city wall fanatically.

Following everyone's gaze, a woman in black was standing on the high city wall, with a calm look and a sharp spirit.

He stared at her in a daze. She had changed, like a sword drawn from its sheath, shining brightly.

Rong'er's eyes were full of curiosity, "Grandfather, is this the Princess of Jingning County?"

Although she grew up in the capital, she seldom went out. She had only heard of the reputation of Princess Jingning but had never seen her.

The old man had a complicated look on his face. "It's her."

He was none other than the former Prime Minister, Mr. Duan, who, upon discovering that the situation was getting out of control, retired and returned home.

But, I didn't expect him to appear here.

Rong'er's eyes were full of envy. "She has such a high reputation. Everyone respects and likes her from the bottom of their hearts."

She can't become such a person, but she still yearns for it.

Old Master Duan looked confused. "Who wouldn't like distributing food, money and good farmland?"

He had already overestimated Ning Zhiwei, but found that he still underestimated her.

She was unwilling to rely on men, nor was she willing to work for others. Instead, she set up her own business, created her own faction, and dominated the area.

This also made all his plans go down the drain.

He originally thought that Ning Zhiwei would give way to the only adult male in the Ning family, and would support Ning Qishao wholeheartedly and create a world for him.

With her ability and talent, plus the Ning family's power in the northwest, she is enough to dominate the northwest.

He married his eldest granddaughter to Ning Qishao because he wanted her to become the mistress of the Northwest and leave a way out for the Duan family.

However, Ning Zhiwei would rather split up the family and move the clan than to help Ning Qishao achieve something in his career. She wants to do it on her own!

She can also make countless people follow her.

She is an outlier!

At this moment, a woman suddenly fell to her knees and said, "Princess Jingning, please save our family."

Ning Zhiwei had already seen the Duan family's carriage and raised her eyebrows. Could this be the work of the Duan family?

However, if it was Elder Duan himself who was in charge, it wouldn't be so low-level.

"What happened?"

The woman's face was filled with anxiety. "Someone threatened us that if we don't give him 500 taels of silver, our whole family will be killed."

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole audience was furious.

"Who is so abominable? Does he still have any respect for the law?"

"Auntie, don't cry. Princess Jingning will definitely help you."

Old Master Duan saw this and shook his head slightly. Having too good a reputation is not a good thing.

"The higher the gantry is, the easier it is for someone to carry you and you won't be able to get down."

Ning Zhiwei looked down at the woman with a cold look in his eyes, "Who is it?"

The woman's eyes were red and she was about to cry, "It was a gangster named Liu Sanfa who made a living by extortion."

Ning Zhiwei asked casually, "Why did he come to you? Is there a grudge?"

Unexpectedly, the woman's eyes were erratic. "It was just a trivial matter. My little son accidentally bumped into him, and he refused to give in. He wanted to chop off my little son's hand. Later, he even said he would chop off our entire family. He would not stop unless he gave money."

Her tears rolled down, pitiful and helpless, "Where do we get five hundred taels? Even if we are sold, we can't get the money. We have nowhere else to go and can only die."

Ning Zhiwei remained silent and said nothing, and the scene fell into a strange silence.

A young woman walked out of the crowd and knelt down, "Mother, Princess Jingning is the most kind and benevolent, she will definitely help us."

The middle-aged woman finally reacted and kowtowed heavily, "Thank you, Princess Jingning. I kowtow to you."

Ning Zhiwei narrowed her eyes slightly. There was something wrong with this mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Did they want to force her to do something with just a few words?

"Where does Liu Sanfa live? Where does he usually hang out?"

The woman gave an address, and Ning Zhiwei turned around and asked someone to bring Liu Sanfa over.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law looked at each other with different expressions.

Ning Zhiwei glanced at them and asked, "Where is your youngest son?"

The woman rolled her eyes and said, "My youngest son is weak and has been seriously ill due to the shock. He is recuperating at home. The doctor said that he needs to use 100-year-old ginseng as medicine, but how can we, a poor family, afford this?"

She sighed deeply, "Alas, I can only let him die."

The young woman suddenly became emotional, her face painful and desperate, "Are we poor people not worthy of living? If we get sick, can we only die silently? Is it so difficult for us to live a good life? I won't accept this!"

Others felt pity for him and could not help but shout, "Jingning County Lady, please be merciful. Saving a life is like building a seven-story pagoda."

Ning Zhiwei raised an eyebrow, finding it very interesting.

They actually came to blackmail her? Does she look like a saint?

Or, is there someone deliberately stirring up trouble behind the scenes?

"Commander, we have found out Liu Sanfa's background."

After a while, Liu Sanfa's background was found out. Ning Zhiwei's eyes lit up. Good, good, she knew that things were not that simple.

However, everything has two sides. If you handle it well, you can get rich again! ! !
