After being rejected, he emptied the mansion and went into exile

Aunt Niu was stunned, obviously not expecting Shen Jinyao to think of this.

She blinked and said, "No one asked me to come. I came on my own after I heard about it."

"Well, Miss Shen, why don't you go ahead and do your work? I'll be going back first."

Aunt Niu walked out of the house without waiting for Shen Jinyao to speak.

Shen Jinyao looked at Aunt Niu's back and thought of someone.

That is the elder of the Zhang family.

According to Aunt Niu, if Li Huai really started renting land, it would inevitably involve issues such as the price of potatoes, workers' wages, and the quality of potatoes.

The Shen family is not the only dominant family.

If this is a very wealthy place, this phenomenon is very normal.

But this is a notoriously poor place in Quzhou, and there are almost no people who can afford to pay.

So Shen Jinyao guessed that there was someone behind the scenes who wanted to challenge the Shen family.

Almost regardless of cost.

Who is targeting the Shen family like this?

Shen Jinyao could only think of the village chief, not Li Huai, but Li Da and Li Er.

And Aunt Niu said that Li Huai said this from the doorstep of the village chief's house.

This was also approved by the village chief.

As for why the village chief did this?

Shen Jinyao thought of the sound of bowls breaking that she heard at the door of the village chief's house today, and became more certain of her guess.

Shen Jinyao sat on the stool, thinking about recent events.

She thought that if the village chief had this in mind, he would not spend too much effort on farming.

Not only is the cycle long, but you also have to be wary of the village chief.

And she still needs to find someone to take care of her one hundred acres of land.

She thought of Aunt Niu just now.

Shen Jinyao took out a piece of paper and wrote and drew on it.

If we assume that war will break out within a year, the first thing is that there must be enough money, the second is that people must be able to protect themselves, and the third is that there must be enough food.

There is still some money in the space, but it is still not enough to pay the expenses of the four families.

In space...

Oh, and that mine.

If that mine was disposed of, not to mention the expenses of the four families, it would be enough money for Shen Jinyao to live on for the rest of her life.

But this thing is not easy to sell.

If you are not careful, you may be targeted by the court.

Fortunately, the imperial court is in a bit of chaos right now, so it's estimated that they won't be able to find her for a while.

Shen Jinyao crumpled up the paper and was wondering whether to go find Xiang Hongxuan.

Go find Xiang Hongxuan and sell the ore to him. It is much safer than selling it to others.

But if you go to find Xiang Hongxuan, you have to think about where these ores come from.

She thought of the last time she met Xiang Hongxuan, when they had an unpleasant argument.

Until Xiang Hongxuan left, she never spoke to him again.

Obviously, Xiang Hongxuan is not the best candidate.

In the entire Kyushu Kingdom, the best candidate is the prince or the emperor.

Shen Jinyao didn't want to have any contact with the old fox, the emperor.

What's more, the old fox probably wouldn't be interested in a character like her.

As for the princes, the eldest prince is excluded first.

If she cooperated with the eldest prince, Shen Jinyao felt that she would be sold out by him sooner or later.

The second prince's background is too complicated. If he falls, there is a risk of selling out his country for personal gain.

What's more, this person once tried to murder someone from the Shen family.

The fourth prince is young and even has to rely on the palace for money.

Currently, the only suitable person is the third prince.

Three princes...

If she remembered correctly, the eldest prince once said that Xiang Hongxuan had the best relationship with the third prince.

If she rashly went to find the Third Prince on her own, he would probably not only regard her as a liar, but also as a dangerous person.

But if Xiang Hongxuan helps...

Shen Jinyao couldn't help but sigh when she thought of this.

Why can't we avoid Xiang Hongxuan?

This matter cannot be rushed. Not only do we have to find the Third Prince, but we also have to sell the ore to him in the right place.

This was all Shen Jinyao could think about, and she thought about the medicine field again.

So she went to see Dr. Gao.

"You mean, you want to grow medicinal herbs here?"

Shen Jinyao nodded.

Doctor Gao strongly disagreed. He said, "Let's not talk about whether medicinal herbs can be grown here. As far as quality is concerned, the ones in the mountains are definitely better."

Shen Jinyao also knew this, and she had also thought about digging the herbs herself and bringing them to Wuhe Village.

But that would be such a waste of time.

"We are too far from the mountains, so we can only see what medicinal herbs can be grown here."

“Of course, we can also send people to the Quzhou border to dig some for a month.”

Doctor Gao didn't say anything after hearing this, but looked straight at Shen Jinyao.

Shen Jinyao was puzzled and asked, "Why, Doctor Gao?"

Doctor Gao thought for a moment and said, "Do you know something?"

Although Shen Jinyao didn't know what Doctor Gao was talking about, she could only follow his meaning and continue, "Yeah."

Doctor Gao was not surprised at all, but showed an expression that said, "As expected."

"I knew that Wen Yi couldn't hide any secrets."

"Can he tell me everything?"

Shen Jinyao continued to nod.

The reason why Doctor Gao thought this way was because Murong Wenyi would tell Shen Jinyao almost everything.

Another thing is that Shen Jinyao's desire for Chinese medicinal materials is really a bit like forcing things to happen.

Only someone in a hurry would think of growing medicinal herbs here.

There is only one reason.

It was Shen Jinyao who knew that there might be a war.

He couldn't think of where else Shen Jinyao could have heard about this except from Murong Wenyi.

Doctor Gao sighed and continued, "Although Murong Wenyi didn't say it explicitly, we all knew it. It looked like a fight was about to break out."

"It's only a matter of time before the Qiang people take action."

When Shen Jinyao heard this, she quickly lowered her head. She didn't expect that it was not only the Second Prince who was ready to make a move.

Even the Qiang people had planned this in advance.

Shen Jinyao estimated that Jiuzhou Kingdom should be able to get the news soon, especially Xiang Hongxuan.

Doctor Gao saw that Shen Jinyao kept her head down and didn't speak, which was a little different from her usual self.

He asked, "Jin Yao, why haven't you spoken?"

Shen Jinyao raised her head and said calmly, "No, I'm just a little shocked."

Doctor Gao was half-believing and half-doubting, and said, "You're not trying to trick me, are you?"

Shen Jinyao smiled and changed the subject, saying, "No, that's not the case. By the way, which of the herbs you just mentioned can be grown?"

Doctor Gao did not continue to dwell on the topic, but started discussing it with Shen Jinyao.

But they both knew in their hearts that after just a few months of stability, they might have to go through hard times again in the near future.

When war breaks out between countries, the most difficult places are those on the borders.

Unfortunately, the Shen family arrived here.

Shen Jinyao also traveled from the modern times to this ancient woman.

Shen Jinyao couldn't help but think, since it's here, I might as well make the best of it.

What's more, she is a veteran who has not yet retired.

A month later, the opportunity Shen Jinyao had been waiting for finally came.

She finally had the chance to meet the third prince.
