It is said that power is a man's aphrodisiac, but this stimulant works on women as well.

Although Jiang Yan wouldn't dare claim to fully understand Fu Nulang, given her current state, she still has the energy to cause trouble. As long as one has the energy to cause trouble and is busy, things like love, hate, and melancholy become insignificant.

She made a straightforward suggestion: "After this chaos, Changning Prefecture must be short of talent and overwhelmed with affairs. Why don't you lend Madam Song another hand?"

These words were rather presumptuous, and Chunying glanced at Jiang Yan with some concern.

As Jiang Yan had predicted, Fu Weixin was interested.

She lowered her eyes and pondered for a long time, as if asking Jiang Yan, or perhaps talking to herself, "Do you think Madam Song would be willing to let me take over some of the affairs of Changning Prefecture?"

Jiang Yan, with her sharp ears, answered in her heart: She was willing, whether she wanted to or not. She thought about her backing; this victory was inseparable from the strong support of the Fu family.

In the short day that things had settled down, news that had previously been physically isolated flooded her mind again. For example, after the Nineteenth sent out the reinforcements, the Inspector led a large group of people to the prefectural city day and night to quickly turn the tide, never expecting that he would have to spare three or five people to protect his beloved grandson.

As for whether Lady Fu has the ability to do things or lacks experience... After being poisoned by Magistrate Huang of Rongcheng County and suffering from the bizarre deeds of incompetent officials in various parts of Northern Jin, Jiang Yan was numb and had very low requirements.

If those scoundrels are acceptable, why can't Fu Niang? Although she used to be oblivious to the suffering of the people and mostly maintained an aloof and indifferent attitude, she was generally fair in her dealings and wouldn't try every means to skim money, which might be a blessing for the people!

Most importantly, Jiang Yan thought that the Fu family might send people to assist Miss Fu, which might make the situation more optimistic.

Fu Weixin, who had already made up his mind, suddenly extended an invitation: "Jiang Yan, would you be willing to stay in Changning Prefecture and be my right-hand woman? Of course, if Chunying is willing, she is also very welcome."

Jiang Yan opened her eyes wide, and all she could hear was the rapid beating of her heart.

-----------------

On the day I rushed back to Rongcheng County, the dark clouds overhead looked as if they were about to fall to the ground.

Jiang Yan didn't have time to rest properly. After drinking the warmed medicine in the bamboo tube in one gulp, she quickly helped Chunying deal with the accumulated tasks. "Everyone knows we're going to Changning Prefecture, why are you assigning so many miscellaneous tasks? Aren't you afraid of delaying important matters?"

"You said it yourself, it's just a chore, don't worry about it being a hassle." Chunying threw a handful of torn paper into the basin of water, then suddenly asked, "Are you really going? Can your body handle it?"

Jiang Yan stopped what she was doing, the sorrow of parting quietly dissipating from her heart. She looked at Chunying with unusual seriousness: "I'm going. I've thought about it for a long time, and I feel that life is too short to have come here in vain."

A moment later, Chunying smiled and said, "Then I wish you all your wishes come true, and I also wish that I can find a capable assistant as soon as possible."

"Okay." Jiang Yan solemnly grasped Chunying's hands and shook them up and down. Before Chunying could be annoyed by this childish gesture, Jiang Yan suddenly said with a smile, "But I will definitely come to see you when I have free time. We can't miss out on the pork raised by Tian Jiu."

After tasting the flavor of castrated pork, Tian Jiu became obsessed with it and kept thinking about how to partition off a pigpen in his current courtyard to raise pigs on his way back.

Chunying rolled her eyes: "Raising pigs in this yard, do you want the neighbors to come knocking on our door every day to scold us, or do you want the homeowner to just kick us out? You're just trying to annoy me with these ridiculous ideas..."
