When asked this, Qin Wenli and Concubine Rong both looked at her.

Jiang Ningwan paused, a little hesitant, "I'm afraid it would be inconvenient to get information through some special means..."

Several reasons flashed through her mind, but none of them fit.

I'd better not say anything.

"I understand! Then I won't ask anymore! If you deal with anyone, please be careful. If you have any questions, just come to me." Qin Wenli raised his glass again and clinked it with hers.

Jiang Ningwan chuckled and nodded.

After three rounds of drinking, Jiang Ningwan, under the influence of drunkenness, took out two sachets containing anti-epidemic herbs.

"The disaster in Huainan is severe. I'm worried about an epidemic. My cousin and aunt must take good care of their health. Yongning Palace should be fumigated with mugwort leaves every day."

"If there is any food or clothing sent as tribute from Huainan, try not to touch it."

"This is a sachet I made myself. You can carry it with you."

Concubine Rong took the sachet and was filled with joy. "Ning Wan is really thoughtful. Look at you, you brought so many things with you right away. It seems your aunt didn't have time to prepare anything for you."

Jiang Ningwan smiled and said, "We're family, so don't be polite."

It was late at night, Jiang Ningwan stayed in the palace for another night and left the next day.

After Concubine Rong sent her away, she picked up the sachet and sighed.

"Why are you sighing, mother? My cousin's embroidery skills are a little poor, and mother thinks it's ugly, so she doesn't wear it." Qin Wenli happened to walk in.

"I feel like I owe Ningwan too much. Her mother was exiled with her, so as an elder, I should have taken better care of her. Look at the rabbit she embroidered on this sachet—it looks like a pig. You can see how difficult it was for her, yet she still treats us so wholeheartedly."

Qin Wenli poured a cup of tea and handed it to Concubine Rong. "Before, we couldn't protect ourselves and couldn't take care of our cousin. She is smart and will surely understand."

"We'll just take good care of her from now on."

Concubine Rong nodded and advised, "You should go out of the palace more often and take care of your mother for her, especially keep an eye on the Qin family."

"We can't let the Qin family bully her!"

"Also, this sachet is a token of Ning Wan's love. You should always carry it with you. Don't say anything rude. Ning Wan will be sad if she hears it."

As Concubine Rong spoke, she tied the sachet to Qin Wenli's belt.

Jiang Ningwan made many of the same sachets. She was not good at embroidery and had worked up several nights to make these dozen or so. She had to send them all out today.

She also thought about using other things as substitutes, but this medicinal material was specially formulated by her for epidemic prevention. It will be 90% effective, but it must be worn on the body.

After much thought, I decided that only the sachet was the most suitable and could bring out the medicinal effect.

Taking all the sachets, he went to the Duke's Mansion with Lichun first.

He also gave his father and others a few sachets and told them not to touch the items and food produced in Huainan.

Duke Jiang held the sachet, pondered the pattern on it for a long time, and said solemnly, "I told you to study needlework, but you insisted on wielding swords and guns. Look at this..."

Li Chun couldn't help but complain, "My Lord, this took my young lady several nights to make. Her hands are all blistered. The embroidery is not important. What matters is my young lady's thoughtfulness!"

Qi, who was standing by, threw the sachet onto the table in disdain. "People should highlight their strengths and avoid their weaknesses. This embroidery and stitching will make people laugh."

Jiang Ningwan couldn't help but frown, "Forget it, if you don't want it, just give it back to me."

Li Chun went forward angrily and put away the sachet.

But a hand next to her snatched the sachet away first, and Jiang Xiru quickly said, "Yes, of course."

Qi looked at her in surprise. What was so good about this broken sachet?

"This is a gift from my sister, please keep it, mother." Jiang Xiru forced the sachet into her hand.

Recalling the scene of the spread of the epidemic in her previous life, the Duke's Mansion also suffered, and she suffered greatly.

Jiang Ningwan is now the apprentice of Doctor Qiu, so this medicinal herb must be effective.

After the things were delivered, Jiang Ningwan left immediately.

Then I went to Wu Bohou’s mansion and my uncle’s house.

My uncle Jiang Xiuyuan is currently the Minister of War. Due to his busy schedule, the two families can only get together during the holidays.

After Jiang Ningwan got married, she rarely interacted with her uncle's family.

In addition, since something happened to the Ling family, the closer people were, the less likely they were to interact with them, for fear of implicating them.

His great aunt died of illness at an early age, and he and his cousin Jiang Zhouye were the only two people left in his great uncle's family.

When giving out the sachet, Jiang Ningwan felt a little embarrassed.

"This sachet contains the medicinal herbs I prepared, but my craftsmanship is really not that good, so please don't despise me, uncle and cousin."

Jiang Zhouye took the sachet and said, "It's very pretty. This kitten is so cute."

Lichun muttered softly: "That's a tiger..."

Jiang Zhouye smiled awkwardly, "It's cute too."

"I haven't received a gift in a long time. I just happened to get a dagger that can cut through iron like mud. I'll take it as a return gift."

Jiang Zhouye took out a dagger and handed it to Jiang Ningwan.

The scabbard is extremely exquisite and is inlaid with several bright rubies. It is obvious that it is worth a lot of money.

"This is too expensive." Jiang Ningwan wanted to refuse.

Jiang Zhouye forced the dagger into her hand and said, "Take it. It can be used for self-defense."

"If the Qin family bullies you again, just take it out and show it to them twice to scare them!"

Jiang Xiuyuan coughed twice quickly to remind Jiang Zhouye not to poke anyone's scars.

Jiang Ningwan didn't mind. The Qin family's affairs had long been spread throughout Kyoto, and everyone knew about it now.

"It's rare for Ning Wan to come here. Zhou Ye, go prepare some food and wine. Ning Wan can have lunch at home."

After having lunch at her uncle's house, Jiang Ningwan sent the remaining sachets to the general's mansion.

"Miss, why bother with them? You gave them gifts with good intentions, but they might not appreciate it." Li Chun got angry when she thought of the faces of that family.

"Whether they appreciate it or not is their business. I want to do it in a way that no one can find fault with."

"Don't worry, they are the only ones who will suffer." Jiang Ningwan had already made a plan.

This sachet is a must-have gift.

After meeting Qin Beihuang in the mansion and handing the sachet to him, Jiang Ningwan left.

Then several sachets were delivered to Princess Yi, Lu Qingheng and Qin Jianjian respectively.

Princess Yi took a look at it and threw it away in disgust, "Throw it away! If she really cares, she should give us some money to help us get through this difficult time!"

Needless to say, Qin Jianjian threw it away directly.

Lu Qingheng was calculating the accounts and was worried about next month's expenses.

She took the sachet and threw it directly into the charcoal basin, saying in a cold voice: "She came to see the general, not to bring me anything."

Qin Beihuang was startled, and said comfortingly: "There are medicinal herbs in it. I think she has good intentions."

"That's out of kindness to the general. She doesn't have time to hate me. From now on, she doesn't have to send anything to me." Lu Qingheng said in a cold tone.

Ever since Qin Beihuang had a big fight with her about the child, their relationship has not improved much, but he still gave her Jiang Ningwan's sachet at this time.

"You think too much!" Qin Beihuang sighed helplessly, got up and left.

Knowing that Lu Qingheng was worried about the family expenses, Qin Beihuang also went out to find a solution.

When he returned home late at night, he saw that Jinhua Residence was on fire and the house was in chaos.

Princess Yi escaped in time and her life was not in danger, but she was extremely frightened.

After Qin Beihuang made sure no one was injured, he immediately helped to put out the fire.

"I told you that the charcoal brazier shouldn't be used! You insisted on using stove charcoal to save money. The smoke was so thick that you had to open the window. As a result, the gauze curtain was blown up and ignited. The whole house was burned down..." Princess Yi looked at the raging fire, heartbroken.

Lu Qingheng helped Princess Yi to sit on the steps and whispered, "It's better to burn it."

Princess Yi's expression changed. "What are you talking about?"

Lu Qingheng consoled her, "Hasn't Mother always been thinking about the Jiang Residence? Now that Jinhua Residence has burned down and you have nowhere to live, isn't it only natural for you to live in the Jiang Residence?"

"As your daughter-in-law, Jiang Ningwan has the responsibility to take care of you."

"If she disagrees, it would be extremely unfilial. Even if she complains to His Majesty, she won't be in the right."
