Qingzhou, Lin Mansion.
Upon receiving the news, Lin Wufeng, the head of the Lin family, immediately rushed back to the Lin residence.
The atmosphere inside the mansion suddenly turned stern.
At this moment, everyone in the Lin family, including Lin Wanwan, was standing in the Lin family's ancestral hall.
The patriarch, Lin Wufeng, held an incense burner in his hands and knelt respectfully in front of the ancestral hall, kowtowing three times.
Upon seeing this, the Lin family members all knelt down and kowtowed.
"..."
Behind him were several mages gesturing wildly.
He was exorcising ghosts and catching evil spirits inside the Lin family ancestral hall, muttering eerie words that ordinary people couldn't understand.
The sudden disappearance of valuables from the Lin family mansion shocked the entire Qingzhou.
The Qingzhou government, along with more than a dozen brokerage firms of all sizes, mobilized thousands of people to search continuously, but they still couldn't find even the slightest trace of the thieves.
There must be a demon in the abnormal situation!
Originally, the head of the Lin family was rushing back to see his biological daughter, but he immediately changed his route and returned to the Lin residence half a day late. He also brought more than a dozen highly respected Taoist priests to the Lin family to exorcise the ghost.
"Who on earth emptied the Lin family's house?!"
Lin Wanwan, who was kneeling in prayer as if to make a show of it, had her brows furrowed.
The reason she chose this time to return to the Lin family to reunite with her relatives was that she wanted to use the Lin family's assets to get through the first crisis at the beginning of the famine.
But to her surprise, this happened at the Lin family home as soon as she returned!
"It can't be a ghost! No... I can be reborn, so why can't there be ghosts?"
Lin Wanwan didn't believe in ghosts and gods, but after thinking about her own experience, she hesitated.
However, in any case, a famine was about to break out in Qingzhou.
She needs to plan for the future early!
"Father!"
After the ritual was completed, Lin Wanwan immediately stepped forward to pay her respects to the head of the Lin family.
"You must be Wanwan, right? Good girl, get up!"
Lin Wufeng forced a smile, managing to squeeze out a faint one.
It wasn't that he had any dissatisfaction with Lin Wanwan.
Rather, it was because such a thing had happened to the Lin family that the head of the Lin family simply had no interest in caring about this so-called biological daughter.
In particular, some of the stolen items from the Lin residence were payments for goods that were about to be settled.
Now, both the goods and the payment have vanished. If it weren't for the Lin family's high reputation in Qingzhou, their partners would probably be coming to collect their debts!
"Father, are you worried about the theft in the manor?"
Lin Wanwan looked at the head of the Lin family, paused, and said, "I have a plan that, if successful, may relieve Father's urgent crisis!"
Lin Wufeng's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing this.
He had long heard that his daughter, who had been living away from home, was both beautiful and talented, and that her fame had spread throughout Qingzhou after just one poetry gathering.
Her poems have even reached the capital, where she has gained considerable fame.
Perhaps this daughter really has a clever idea to solve the immediate problem!
"Come on, let's go to the study with Father to talk." Lin Wufeng strode ahead to lead the way, clearly eager to get started.
Seeing this, Lin Wanwan immediately followed.
Her chance to shine had finally arrived. She was determined to seize this opportunity to establish herself in the Lin family and build her prestige.
study.
At this moment, both Lin Wufeng and Lin Wanwan looked very embarrassed.
After all, the study had already been emptied by the thieves.
Even the windows were removed, and there wasn't a single sun-shading tile left on the roof, let alone tables and chairs.
It seems unnecessary to discuss matters in the study or not.
Lin Wufeng smiled awkwardly and said, "I'm sorry to have wronged Wanwan."
Lin Wanwan quickly composed herself and said seriously, "Father, I'm not wronged. I just want to help you out of this predicament as soon as possible."
"Very well, what good ideas do you have?" Lin Wufeng asked impatiently.
"Father, doesn't Third Uncle also run a loan sharking business? Why don't we borrow some money from him at high interest rates?"
Lin Wanwan spoke fluently and confidently, showing none of the timidity or humility typical of country people; her demeanor was composed and at ease.
"When I returned, I overheard an important secret: the General of the Northern Garrison had suddenly died, Hanshan Pass had been breached by the Northern Barbarians, and the entire northern border would soon fall. Our Qingzhou is no longer safe."
"There are very few powerful families in the entire Qingzhou who know about this news. We can take advantage of this time difference to buy up all the grain in the vicinity of Qingzhou at a price slightly higher than the market price. Once the news spreads, the price of grain will definitely skyrocket, and we can then sell it for ten or a hundred times the price. We can make a fortune very quickly!"
"Also, Father, once we've made some money, we need to leave Qingzhou as soon as possible and move to the Lingnan area!"
Lin Wufeng was completely shocked by Lin Wanwan's words and remained speechless for a long time.
He is not someone who can be easily fooled, as he was able to sit in the position of the head of the Lin family.
Moreover, she was his own daughter who had just been found, and there was absolutely no trust between them.
"You can't just say things like that. Do you have any evidence? How can I risk my life based on hearsay like this!"
Lin Wufeng looked serious and very disappointed, feeling that this daughter was simply a joke.
Lin Wanwan knew it wouldn't be easy to gain her father's trust, so she gritted her teeth and said, "Father, to tell you the truth, I have the ability to foresee the future. Otherwise, how would I know that you are my biological parents?"
"If you don't believe me, I can tell you a few more things that will happen in Qingzhou in the next few days, and you can check them out yourself."

Baishan Village, Shen Family.
"Little sister, why are you back? Where's your man? Why didn't he come back with you? And who is this?"
Shen Yuehua's sister-in-law, Wang Fanghong, was quite surprised to see her younger sister suddenly return.
Shen Yuehua rarely visits her parents' home, which is why she asked that question.
"Sister-in-law, I came back for a bit. Are Father, Mother, and Brother home?" Shen Yuehua greeted Wang Fanghong with a smile.
"Father and Mother, your eldest brother and the others are carrying water to irrigate the fields. Alas, it's too hot today, and the crops have long since stopped growing. No matter how much water they irrigate, it's all in vain."
"Your second brother went hunting in the mountains and isn't home."
Wang Fanghong quickly invited the two inside and poured them water.
"Sister-in-law, stop busying yourself. Go to the fields and call everyone back. I have something important to tell you all," Shen Yuehua said, placing the prepared gifts on the table.
Seeing that her younger sister looked serious as if she had something important to say, Wang Fanghong didn't dare to delay and quickly went out to call for help.
The Shen family ancestors were scholars, but unfortunately their descendants were not ambitious and lacked academic talent, so they gradually declined.
By the time it came to Shen Yuehua's generation, neither of her two older brothers had any talent for studying and both stayed at home to farm.
After Shen Yuehua and her husband transmigrated, they secretly ran a small business to support their two older brothers, and their lives were relatively comfortable.
Su Yunhai was skilled in both literature and martial arts. In his spare time, he taught his two brothers-in-law martial arts for self-defense. Unexpectedly, his second brother was quite talented in martial arts.
For the past eight years, Shen Yuehua's second brother has been practicing martial arts and has achieved considerable success. Occasionally, he would go hunting in the mountains to improve his life.
Before long, the entire Shen family was called back.
"Daughter, what brings you here? What happened that you're in such a hurry!" Old Mrs. Shen called out anxiously before even entering the house.
"Mother, Father, don't rush, let's go inside and talk."
Upon hearing the sound, Shen Yuehua quickly went out to greet the person and helped them inside.
A large group of Shen family members followed behind him.
Once everyone had arrived, Shen Yuehua began to explain her purpose.
"Father, Mother, Old Su and I are planning to flee the famine in a few days. We can no longer live here."
Shen Yuehua told the Shen family everything she had learned.
"What? Daughter, you can't say things like that! Our great general is incredibly capable, how could he possibly be harmed! How could the Northern Barbarians possibly invade!"
Old Man Shen was so overwhelmed by the countless pieces of bad news that he couldn't recover. His first reaction was to deny these terrible reports.
At this moment, it wasn't just Old Man Shen.
No one in the Shen family could believe the news brought by Shen Yuehua.
