Ji Yunshuang said, "You trust him that much?"

"Huh?" Ning looked at Ji Yunshuang in confusion, seemingly not understanding why she would ask such a question.

Ji Yunshuang wasn't sure if she genuinely didn't understand or was pretending. She didn't say anything more, but instead asked, "What's your cousin's name? What does he do?"

Ning thanked her quickly and added, "My cousin's name is Diao Zhao. He's not good at studying; he's a businessman."

Ji Yunshuang nodded, turned around and went to the next room to wake up the servants she had rescued from Yuexin Courtyard.

When the servants woke up and saw Ji Yunshuang, they all looked wary.

Ji Yunshuang asked, "Do you remember what happened before you fainted?"

On the day Ning gave birth, everyone in the courtyard was exhausted. Later, realizing that Ning was not favored by the prince, many people began to think about shirking their duties.

They went to bed early that night, and when An Yi came to drug them, they didn't feel anything at all.

They were all completely bewildered after hearing Ji Yunshuang's words.

Only the maid on night duty had a vague recollection of her, but before she could call for help, she fainted.

At this moment, she looked around and asked, "Who...who are you? Where are we?"

"I saved you and your master. She will tell you the details when you see your master."

Ji Yunshuang was too lazy to waste words and directly led the group to Ning Shi, asking them to take care of Ning Shi and the child.

After giving her instructions, she left.

Before leaving, they used their telekinesis to restrict the area where they could move, just as before, to prevent anyone from discovering the secret of the space.

After Ji Yunshuang left, seeing that it was still early, she went to the operating room to perform surgery on several other seriously wounded soldiers.

Because of the special nature of this space, these soldiers were severely injured and on the verge of death in the space for many days, but their physical condition remained the same as when they were first put in.

If it weren't for the space, these people would have died long ago. But because of the space's special nature, even if Ji Yunshuang made a mistake during the surgery, she still had a chance to make amends.

This greatly increased the chances of a successful surgery for Ji Yunshuang, a beginner.

While Ji Yunshuang was performing surgery on a seriously wounded soldier in the operating room with a learning attitude, the servants of Yuexin Courtyard were standing uneasily in front of Ning Shi.

Everyone stared wide-eyed at the sight of Ning's injuries.

"Madam, what's wrong?"

Ning said, "I know that I come from a poor background and was just a concubine. You were not truly obedient to me before."

Granny Zhao instinctively explained, "Madam, what are you saying? How could I possibly disobey you?"

The others also agreed with her.

Ning said, "You don't need to explain. I know what you're thinking. But no matter what you were thinking before, we're all in the same boat now."

Then, she briefly recounted the events of that day when the Prince's mansion caught fire and someone came to kill her and her child.

However, she didn't say that the prince had sent people. Instead, she misled them into believing that the princess had sent people to kill her and her child, and to set fire to the courtyard, burning everyone in the courtyard to death.

The servants did not doubt Ning's words, because they knew that it was common for people in the Prince's mansion to stage accidents to kill each other in order to win favor.

"It was our benefactor who saved my son and me, and she also helped you in the process. I hope that in the days to come, you will not harbor any ulterior motives and will serve me and the young master well. Once I recover, I will find you a good future."

Having spoken too much in one breath, Ning's body was starting to give out. But in order to keep the crowd in check for the time being, she could only force herself to continue and observe their reactions.

After a few moments of deliberation, Granny Zhao quickly made up her mind and knelt down to pledge her loyalty to Madam Ning.

After seeing Granny Zhao kneel down to express her loyalty, the rest of the people also knelt down in turn, expressing their loyalty in the same way as Granny Zhao.

"Go and take care of the young master first!" Ning Shi closed her eyes and said, "I will remember that you were there to help me through this difficult time."

Fu Ci and his men traveled day and night for three days and finally arrived at the warehouse where Ji Yunshuang stored grain.

Although he was mentally prepared, he was still so shocked when he actually saw how much grain was in the warehouse that he almost couldn't control his expression.

Now all the main roads leading to Jiangzhou are blocked, and grain merchants are unable to transport grain at all. I don't know what methods Junior Sister used to procure so much grain.

He increasingly felt that Ji Yunshuang was amazing!

He looked at Qiu Yuan and Chen Wudao and asked, "Where is your adjutant?"

After Qiu Yuan and Lu Yanqi selected a few servants at the Lu family's residence, they came to the manor and guarded the manor's goods together with Chen Wu.

Upon hearing Fu Ci's question, Qiu Yuan subconsciously looked at Chen Wu.

When he arrived at the villa, Ji Yunshuang had already left, and he did not know where she had gone.

Chen Wu bowed to Fu Ci and replied, "The adjutant didn't say anything, he only told me to stay here and wait for you to arrive."

Fu Ci thought about what Ji Yunshuang had said in the letter and didn't ask any more questions. He ordered people to quickly prepare a convoy to transport the grain.

He hadn't brought many carriages or horses with him in order to make the journey.

The grain in the granary was more than he had imagined, so he had to prepare some more tools for transporting the grain.

The number of troops protecting the food supplies also needs to be increased.

As soon as Fu Ci took action, Fu Pei quickly received the news.

After hearing his subordinates' report, he was furious and said, "What did you say? You sent several thousand more men to transport grain? Where did they get the grain?"

"We don't know much about that either. We only know that the grain is in a mountain village, but we don't know when it was put into the village."

The guard who went to track Fu Ci's whereabouts said, "However, we saw people from the Wei family left at the Lu family's residence in that manor. The grain in that manor should be related to the Ji family."

"It's the Ji family again!" Fu Pei said with a gloomy face, "Why does she always have to get involved in everything?"

The guards hung their heads, not daring to answer.

Fu Pei said, "That manor is strange, and the Ji family... is also acting strangely. Take some men and keep a close eye on that manor to find out what's going on. And what about the Ji family? Still no news?"

The guard shook his head. "No, Ji's martial arts skills are too high. We can't catch up with her at all. We haven't seen any movement from her in the past few days, and we don't know where she has gone yet."

When Fu Pei heard that none of his secret guards could compare to Ji Yunshuang, he felt a surge of anger. "Keep a close eye on the Lu family. She's going to come back to the Lu family eventually."

After dismissing the guards, he summoned his trusted confidant and said, "Don't be so rigid. If you can't place someone in the Lu family, don't you think of another way? Arrange for someone to live in the village? Make friends with those two brats from the Lu family first?"

The confidant wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve and said, "I will make the arrangements immediately and make sure the matter is handled properly."
