As soon as Jiang Ningwan saw the dark shadow outside, he grabbed three silver needles and flew out.

The opponent dodged the attack with a backward roll.

When Jiang Ningwan opened the door and chased after it, she saw the black shadow leap onto the eaves next to her.

Dressed in black, with a sinister smile.

It's him again.

Mo Yuanxing.

Jiang Ningwan clenched his fists and shouted, "Someone come!"

But there was dead silence in the mansion, a terrifying dead silence, and no response at all.

Mo Yuanxing's laughter came from the empty air: "Hahahaha..."

That smug look really deserves a beating.

The people in the mansion must have been drugged by him and fainted.

Thinking of this, Jiang Ningwan jumped up with his Qing Kung Fu to catch up, but Mo Yuanxing quickly retreated and suddenly sprinkled a handful of poison powder.

Jiang Ningwan immediately covered her mouth and nose and retreated to a safe distance.

When I looked again, the figure had already escaped.

"There's no need to chase after a beautiful woman. We'll meet again."

Jiang Ningwan immediately went back to check on the guards and found that they had all fainted. The drug they used was very special, with poison added. The drug was very effective and would make anyone who was caught off guard faint as soon as they smelled it.

It should be the same as the one used in Tianxing Building.

This Mo Yuanxing knocked out everyone in her house in the middle of the night. He was extremely arrogant. I think he didn't want to assassinate her, but just to scare her and make her afraid.

It was the same as the assassination attempt on Qin Shuangchi tonight, just to humiliate him and make him look bad.

Really disgusting.

……

It was dawn the next day.

Jiang Ningwan went to Huichuntang and asked Doctor Hong to help investigate Mo Yuanxing's background and whereabouts.

Doctor Hong frowned slightly. "This name sounds familiar. I heard my brothers in the army mention him. He's from the south. I'll ask someone to find out."

Jiang Ningwan nodded.

Doctor Hong added, "Miss, Old Shen wants to see you, but he's embarrassed to ask you, so he asked me for help."

Hearing this, Jiang Ningwan raised an eyebrow and said, "Just let him come."

"it is good."

After a while, Lao Shen came hurriedly.

When he saw Jiang Ningwan, he lowered his head a little embarrassedly, then took out an account book and placed it in front of Jiang Ningwan, then bowed straight.

He mustered up a lot of courage and said, "I'm incompetent. I resign!"

Jiang Ningwan was a little surprised. She picked up the account book and took a look, and found a huge loss.

Gu Fengxing ordered a batch of rice from Xinan. The price was not high, but no one wanted it even if it was given away for free, let alone sold.

Because the epidemic in Huainan was serious, Xinan was also affected. Things from the south were now difficult to sell and were almost all at a loss.

When he saw this, Jiang Ningwan frowned, a little displeased.

But she also saw that there was an order for rice from Jinlan County in the account book, but not much, and it had all been sold out. Although she made money, there was no rice to sell now.

"Didn't I tell you not to buy rice from the south?" Jiang Ningwan put down the account book with a slightly cold tone.

Old Shen sighed and lowered his head. "I didn't take the young lady's words to heart, so I took the initiative to order rice from Xinan. Now I'm suffering a heavy loss."

"I'm willing to use all the money I've earned over the years to make up for this loss. I'm resigning!"

Before placing the order, he didn't take it seriously at all, but he didn't expect that there would be an epidemic and the rice in the south could not be sold at all.

From this perspective, the eldest lady is quite far-sighted.

Jiang Ningwan said in a cold tone, "You made a mistake and you want to run away and leave. Is this your responsibility?"

"Qianqiu Trading Company doesn't have a rule that requires you to pay out money to cover losses. What you should do is continue to run Gufeng Trading Company and make up for your mistakes."

Old Shen was a little bewildered for a moment, looking at her in surprise, "But didn't the young lady say that if I don't replace the rice, then she'll replace me?"

"If I hadn't told you this, how could you have purchased rice from Jinlan County?"

"At least you didn't ignore my words."

"I'll fine you half of last year's dividends. Do you have any objections?"

Hearing this, Old Shen was stunned and looked at Doctor Hong next to him, unable to react.

Doctor Hong smiled and patted his shoulder. "The young lady is not an unkind person. She won't chase you away."

After hearing the exact answer, Old Shen felt relieved. Now he didn't have to worry about food for the whole family.

I happily agreed: "Yes! I will manage it well and make up for the losses!"

"I looked down on you before, thinking you were young and didn't understand business. It turns out I was prejudiced. I apologize to you!"

"From now on, Miss, your word is final! I, Old Shen, will never change my mind!"

At this moment, Doctor Hong suddenly thought of something and asked, "By the way, your hometown is in the south. Do you know Mo Yuanxing?"

"Mo Yuanxing? Your original name is Erdan, right? I recognize him."

Jiang Ningwan was shocked. Erdan?

"How do you recognize him?"

Old Shen replied, "His ancestors were wealthy merchants in Dongqiu. After Dongqiu was conquered by the Qian Kingdom, his family fled to our village as refugees. They didn't have any skills, so they could only make a living by collecting herbs. After finally settling down, his parents fell off a cliff while collecting herbs."

"Erdan was still young at the time and could only grow up eating at other people's homes."

"I heard that he later became a disciple of a very famous master and studied medicine. During the Southern Expedition, he even participated in the war, hoping to take back Dongqiu."

After hearing this, Jiang Ningwan felt a chill down her spine.

He actually participated in the Southern Expedition, and now that Dongqiu has been recaptured, his wish has been fulfilled, so he is going to avenge his master?

"Then do you know if he has any important people?"

Old Shen thought for a moment and said, "I'm not sure about that."

"But I have a lot of guys in my shop who are from the same village. They still keep in touch with the village through letters. I asked them to help find out. I will have news in two days."

Jiang Ningwan nodded, "Thank you very much."

"Miss, if you have anything to say, just tell me. You're welcome!"

Old Shen came in dejected and left humming a little tune in a very good mood.

Doctor Hong smiled and said, "The young lady used both kindness and force to win over Old Shen so quickly. If the old general were here, he would definitely be pleased!"

Jiang Ningwan smiled.

But he couldn't help but think of the Ling family's ancestral home, which was uncertain about its fortune.

She only hoped that by resolving the trouble with Mo Yuanxing, and getting the King of Chu to agree to marry her in her place, or to cancel the engagement, she could keep the Ling family's ancestral home.

It was a peaceful night, but there was an uneasy silence.

In the room, Jiang Ningwan was already fast asleep.

In her dream, she saw her grandfather, uncle, aunt, cousins, and her mother, but they stood far away and waved goodbye to her.

He seemed to be saying something, but she couldn't hear it clearly.

She was anxious and ran forward as fast as she could, but she couldn't catch up with their figures that were getting farther and farther away.

Suddenly, a voice called out from afar: "Wanwan..."

Jiang Ningwan suddenly turned over and sat up, his back covered in cold sweat, "Grandfather..."

It's grandpa's voice!

"Wanwan, come quickly."

The voice sounded again, and it was actually outside the door!

Jiang Ningwan immediately opened the door and saw a tall and majestic figure standing in the yard.

As usual, he stood at the door with his hands behind his back, waiting for her to practice martial arts together.

"Grandpa, is that you?" Jiang Ningwan's eyes instantly turned red.

She didn't know if it was a dream or if what she saw was just a ghost, but it was good to see him again.

"Why is Wanwan crying? Who made our Wanwan unhappy?" Grandfather stood there, coaxing her with a smile.

Jiang Ningwan couldn't hold it in any longer, she flew over and hugged him, tears streaming down her face, "Grandpa, I missed you so much! You finally came to see me!"

She had never dreamed of them in all these years.

His broad palm stroked her hair gently, "Grandpa misses you too, hahahahahahahahahaha..."

The strange tone and shrill laughter instantly made Jiang Ningwan's scalp tingle.
