Don't panic if your home is confiscated or you are exiled, just empty the warehouse and stock u

Carrying the purple velvet flower in his arms, Baili Zhao decided to give it his all. He took the remaining men and rode at full speed to Yilan Pass.

Duan Yun looked at Jiang Nianwei's eyes filled with complex emotions, but he didn't know how to comfort her.

"Miss Jiang, don't be sad. Once the war is over, Ah Zhao will be back. By the way, this is something he specifically asked me to give to you."

Jiang Nianwei took the wooden sign and said, "This is something he always carries with him."

"He said, don't worry about him, he will come back as promised."

Jiang Nianwei's fingers unconsciously stroked every inch of the wooden sign. A barely perceptible sadness flashed across her eyes. She quickly suppressed her emotions and pretended nothing had happened.

"Okay, I'm fine. I've been busy lately. Don't slack off. I'll send it to you guys when the time comes and get back to work!"

After all the goods are cleared out, they will return to Nanzhou Island.

During this period of time, Jiang Nianwei got to know many businessmen through Uncle Huo and Jing Xiangxue. She happened to have a lot of fabrics, rouge and powder stored in her space. If she only relied on selling them in the store, she didn't know when it would take to sell them all.

So she adopted a distribution model, where merchants in other regions could purchase goods from her at prices slightly lower than the retail price, ensuring that everyone could make money. However, they could not set prices at will and had to sell the goods at the retail price she set.

Since the items she sold were cheap and of high quality, they would basically be sold out as soon as other shops received them.

She also privately asked some familiar businessmen for help and started buying shops in other towns to sell the "skin care products" she developed.

Glassware is also very popular here. If it is promoted to other places, there should be a market for it. However, the current production cannot keep up.

The factory in Yazhou should be almost completed now, and mass supply will be available by then.

They have now opened up a route to Linzhou, which means that Linzhou can become a transit station and distribute goods from Linzhou to various places.

She tried to keep herself busy and not think about other troubles.

But that day, she found that every time she went out, she always felt that someone was following her stealthily.

Jiang Nianwei stopped abruptly, "Who are you and why are you following me?"

She could sense that the people following her had no ill intentions.

The shadow seemed to be startled by the sudden questioning for a moment, and then a man with a handsome face and a childish look in tight clothes slowly stepped out from the shadows. He bowed and said sincerely: "I am Yuwen Long, and I am here on the orders of my master to monitor... No, to protect your safety, madam."

Jiang Nianwei couldn't help but find it funny, "Why are you monitoring me?"

Yuwen Long looked up and recalled the words that the prince had left before he left: "My master is concerned about the lady, and is afraid that the lady might not be careful with her diet or daily life, or might get sick occasionally, so I have ordered my subordinates to secretly look after her and make sure that she is well."

Seeing that the other party did not respond, Yuwen Long raised his eyelids slightly and glanced at the other party.

But he saw Jiang Nianwei looking at him closely with a scrutinizing gaze, which made his heart tighten. He quickly lowered his eyes, feeling uneasy, fearing that the princess would be dissatisfied with him and complain to the prince later.

Jiang Nianwei replied calmly: "You keep calling me Madam. I feel old. Call me Miss Jiang from now on."

Yuwen Long hesitated and said shyly, "But...but, you and my son are already married...it's not proper to address him like this."

"Your son married into our Jiang family. Even if we have children in the future, they must take my surname Jiang. It's not wrong for you to call me Miss Jiang."

When Yuwen Long heard this, his mouth opened in surprise.

The prince actually married into the wife's family. Why does it sound so funny? However, his professional ethics prevented him from laughing out loud and he had to remain serious. However, he wrote this matter down and would tell his colleagues about it later. It must have become gossip in the secret guard circle after-dinner talk.

Yuwen Long said seriously, "I understand, Miss Jiang, you have been eating less and less these days, so I specially prepared some food for you. Would you be so kind as to try a little?"

The prince wrote down all of Miss Jiang's hobbies and precautions, which shows how much care he put in.

When he joined the secret guard, it was the time when the prince disappeared. He originally thought that Prince Yu was really as aloof from women and cold-hearted as the other secret guards said. Now it seems that all these rumors are false, and the prince is obviously very considerate.

Jiang Nianwei saw the snacks and pickled plums in the basket and picked up a piece of osmanthus cake involuntarily. "Did Ah Zhao specifically ask you to prepare these?"

Yuwen Long nodded repeatedly: "Yes, Master told me before he left that you like to eat these."

Jiang Nianwei took a bite of the soft and sticky osmanthus cake, and instantly a rich osmanthus fragrance bloomed between her lips and teeth, evoking the lingering longing in her heart...

Yuwen Long said, "Since Miss Jiang has seen through my trick, I don't have to hide anymore. If you need me in the future, feel free to send me there without any scruples."

"Okay, I'll take the snacks. Thank you very much."

The clothes and shoes I made for Ah Zhao have not been given away yet, which only adds to my worries.

When Jiang Nianwei rushed to the restaurant, Jing Xiangxue had been waiting for a long time. She handed over the account books she had collected in recent days.

"According to what you said, I helped Lu Yong a little and made him think that I was really on his side. Now that he has about 70% trust in me, I got these account books, which should be of some use."

Jiang Nianwei took the account book. They had collected enough evidence now, and Lu Yong had been taking medicine for several days.

She took a sip of tea leisurely, and asked softly as the tea fragrance wafted in the air, "How is Mr. Lu doing?"

Jing Xiangxue secretly rejoiced: "He has been coughing for days and often feels weak all over. He often asks the doctor to prescribe some tonic medicine for him."

"In that case, the time has come. Auntie needs to make plans earlier. If he really dies, it will save a lot of trouble, but it may also cause variables. The best thing is to let him wander between life and death, unable to be liberated and suffering. This will show that cause and effect in this world will always be cyclical and retribution will always come."

"exactly."

The Linzhou prefect had long been secretly bribed by Uncle Huo, and they had also been giving benefits to the prefect's brother-in-law overtly and covertly, so that the prefect's wife could whisper in his ear.

The prefect naturally "abandoned" Lu Yong, this ignorant guy.

But there was another person behind Lu Yong, and that was the Linzhou governor Hu Hao.

This man is neither greedy for money nor power, and he has no femme fatale. He only has a wife at home who has lived with him through thick and thin. He is an upright person, yet his friendship with Lu Yong is extremely deep, which is puzzling.

Jiang Nianwei asked her men to inquire, but they did not find out any useful information.

Just when she was secretly worried, Yuwen Long reminded her at the right time: "Miss Jiang, if you want to investigate Hu Hao, I may have some information."

As secret guards, they were best at gathering intelligence, and Zheng Changkong also told him a lot of useful information.

This caught Jiang Nianwei's attention: "Oh? Tell me, what do you know?"

Yuwenlong took out his own intelligence book and turned to the page about Hu Hao.

"Four years ago, Hu Hao's mother fell ill for unknown reasons, and it was Lu Yong who found a thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum to prolong her life. In addition, he has given her a thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum every year for the past four years. It is extremely rare, very expensive, and very difficult to find. Miss Jiang, do you think this is the reason?"

Jiang Nianwei slowly stood up, a trace of deep thought flashed in her eyes, and she gently opened her red lips and said, "Mother Hu is seriously ill, and Lu Yong has given her the extremely rare thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum year after year. Do you know everything about this?"

"Yes, we are the most alert secret guards of Dasheng, and our intelligence network is spread all over the world. Such news is of course not a problem..."

Yuwenlong was originally looking very proud, but suddenly he felt as if he had said something wrong and quickly covered his mouth.

The prince repeatedly warned Yu Wenlong not to reveal his identity. If he was discovered by Miss Jiang, he would be dead. Yu Wenlong secretly regretted his slip of the tongue.

But Jiang Nianwei didn't seem to continue asking this question, but nodded thoughtfully, "In this case, if Mother Hu can be completely cured, the connection between the two can be cut off."

Let her go and get some information first to see what the situation is with the Hu family.

Jiang Nianwei secretly found out that Hu's mother didn't have any hobbies and only liked listening to music.

For her, playing the music was not a difficult task.

If she approached rashly, it would seem awkward, but if her aunt approached her in the name of Mrs. Lu, it would definitely be more effective.

In fact, she also heard what Yuwen Long said just now, but Jiang Nianwei did not intend to delve into it. Since A Zhao did not tell her, he must have his reasons and she trusted him.

After making up her mind, Jiang Nianwei told Jing Xiangxue about her plan and asked her to visit her. "Aunt, I will leave this matter entirely to you."

Jing Xiangxue was full of confidence: "Just rest assured, I'll take care of everything."

Getting along with these women is a science. Although Jing Xiangxue has been imprisoned for some time, she still reveals the extraordinary background of her grandmother's careful upbringing, which is beyond the reach of ordinary women.

Jing Xiangxue wrote a visiting card and soon received a reply from the Hu family, making an appointment to meet the next day.

As soon as she caught a glimpse of the kind-hearted figure of Mrs. Hu, she stepped forward lightly, her voice filled with just the right amount of apology: "Madam Hu, I feel guilty for coming to visit you in such a presumptuous way. I should have come to your house earlier to show my respect, but I was caught up in trivial matters and only had time to spare until now. I hope you won't blame me for my rudeness."

When Mother Hu saw Jing Xiangxue, the image of Mrs. Lu Yong in her memory was very different from the gentle and noble woman in front of her. She couldn't help but frowned slightly, and a look of doubt crept up her eyebrows. "Forgive me for being so rude, I haven't seen you for a long time. Could it be that Lu Yong has a new wife?"
