It was Li Muyan.

After going back and forth in Luo Prefecture, Xiaoxiao no longer took Old Madam Li’s matter to heart. In addition, Li Muyan had put down his status as the head of the family and came to seek peace personally, so she did not plan to bicker with him anymore.

Li Muyan first handed over Xiaoxiao’s dividends from the shop during this period of time. Then, he said, “I didn’t manage my family well and your servants were rude to Miss Ning. Miss Ning is magnanimous and unwilling to accept my apology gift, but I can’t feel at ease. However, I have to go on a long trip in the future. This is the token of the head of the Li Family. If you need anything in the future, Miss Ning can take this to any shop under the Li Family to seek help.”

Placing the jade ring on the table as a token, Li Muyan continued, “In addition, I heard that you’re looking for Auntie’s dowry. This is a copy of the document when you handed over the pawnshop back then. I hope it can help Miss Ning.”

If he gave her gold, silver, and treasures, Xiaoxiao would definitely reject him. However, Xiaoxiao had no choice but to accept this very old document.

“I, Ning Xiaoxiao, will remember Young Master Li’s favor.”

She didn’t dwell on whether it was the evil servant who was domineering or Old Madam who targeted him. It was obvious that Li Muyan was a filial grandson. She couldn’t let him say anything bad about her grandmother.

However, she asked, “Mr. Li, where are you going to get rich?”

Li Muyan cupped his hands. “To be honest, I want to go to the border.”

Ever since he took over the Li Family, his position as the richest man in Jiangnan had been shaken many times. Now that the Lei Family was suppressing him, it was not easy for his grandmother’s illness to stabilize. Naturally, he had to turn the tables. As the saying went, riches came from danger. It was time for him to do something that matched his title as the head of the family.

Xiaoxiao cupped her hands. “Young Master Li is so bold.”

Li Muyan said humbly, “I’m a businessman. I’m going there for money.”

However, Xiaoxiao said, “The borders are tough. Although Young Master Li is looking for money, this trip will not be in vain if he can let the people there live better because of this.”

There were many cows and sheep outside the pass, but they couldn’t grow crops. Li Muyan planned to use Great Xia’s vegetables, fruits, and salt to exchange for leather goods and horses outside the pass. The main group was setting off, so he didn’t have to keep his itinerary a secret. Hence, he told Xiaoxiao in a few words.

“Great Xia has abundant resources, but the people outside the pass only want to live well more than enjoyment. Hence, the basic needs of life are what they want. Unfortunately, vegetables are not easy to store. I can’t bring much with me, and food is even more eye-catching. I’m afraid I won’t be able to return.”

Xiaoxiao suddenly had an idea. “Young Master Li, can you help me send something? It’s not heavy and doesn’t take up space.”

Li Muyan couldn’t wait for her to make a request of him, so he agreed immediately. The two of them agreed to meet again in three days. After sending Li Muyan off, Xiaoxiao looked for Yun San again.

“I believe you can still send a letter to Little Big Brother, right? Can you arrange a place? I’ll get Young Master Li to help send some things to him.”

Miss Ning really missed Master at all times. Yun San nodded and started to write a letter.

Xiaoxiao used the kitchen as a cover again and slipped into her space.

When the Ning Family came back in waves, they saw all kinds of dried vegetables hanging everywhere in the courtyard. Madam Song asked Xiaoxiao curiously, “In the past, we only dried them to preserve them because we were worried that we wouldn’t have any vegetables to eat. However, we don’t have this worry now. Dried vegetables don’t taste good.”

Xiaoxiao smiled mysteriously. “Mother, the dried vegetables I make are different from the ones you used to eat.”

Then, she told him about Li Muyan’s visit.

After all, she still had an identity crisis. She couldn’t tell anyone else except County Magistrate Shen and the others who knew about it, so finding the dowry was the safest excuse.

Ning Ansheng asked, “Will there be any problems with Little Aunt?”

Xiaoxiao chuckled. “She…”

It was definitely impossible to let her talk about it everywhere, but with the two lords’ characters, it was not appropriate to forcefully imprison her. Hence, they found a good-looking young man and put on a show of falling in love at first sight. They also said that he had to take the imperial examination in the future and could not marry a questionable wife.

Little Aunt Ning left Xijiang County without another word. Then, she hid in the small courtyard that the young man had prepared for her, waiting for the young man who was said to be going for the exam to come back and marry her.

Little Aunt Ning was used to living in the old residence of Fortune Village. When she first saw this imposing courtyard, her eyes widened. She also saw that the young man was generous enough to give her a maidservant and some silver. There was even someone to take care of her food and drink, so she really settled down.

She had never suspected that she had been deceived—who would lie and give money, maidservant and a house to her? Wasn’t that stupid? Moreover, she was quite confident in her beauty and felt that it was reasonable for the young man to value her.

It was unknown if it was because she was used to squatting at home in the past, but she did not feel uncomfortable at all. She dressed up in the courtyard every day in front of the mirror. Even if the male master said that he would be in the capital for a long time and did not come back, she had no intention of going out. Of course, if she did, she would be persuaded by the maidservant. When she could not be persuaded, there would be “accidents” where she would have diarrhea.

What Xiaoxiao did not say was that the maidservant was sent by Rong Yan. With her around, no matter if Little Aunt Ning was willing to cooperate or not, she could forget about leaving the courtyard.

Presumably, although Little Aunt Ning was also annoying, she was the only person in the old residence who had never harmed them. Hence, Xiaoxiao had never thought of taking her life. She ate and drank well while she was sick. It could be considered that the two of them were even.

On account of that, as long as she did not cause trouble, Xiaoxiao would not do anything to her.

For the sake of the two lords’ image, Xiaoxiao did not go into too much detail. She only said that Little Aunt Ning took the reward money and left with her lover.

Everyone sighed and stopped caring. They did not hate Little Aunt Ning, but they had long lost their kinship with her.

It was night time. Xiaoxiao tried out a few books from the space and gave them to Big Brother. Big Brother’s eyes immediately lit up as if he had obtained a treasure. The candlelight never extinguished after he entered the study room. Xiaoxiao thought that it hurt his eyes like this and knocked on the door to urge him to sleep. After knocking a few times, Second Brother opened the door. He raised his finger and made a shushing gesture. “Big Brother is asleep. I’ve already covered him with a thin blanket. Let him sleep for a while.”

Big Brother probably didn’t sleep well these few days when they weren’t around.

Xiaoxiao decisively used space projection to extend Ning Ansheng’s rest time and sent Second Brother back. Then, she left chicken soup in the kitchen and returned to her room to sleep.

The Ning Family was no longer the same as before. Her brother and parents could take care of her, so…

She spread out the document and pointed at the signature.

The original shopkeeper of the pawnshop, Qian Zheng.

Coincidentally, the original owner of the pawnshop was Jiao’er’s father, Shopkeeper Qian Zheng.

Fate was really wonderful.

Xiaoxiao did not see any records of jade pendants being sold in the account book, and it was even more impossible to redeem them. With a glimmer of hope, she went to Qian Jiao’er’s milk tea shop the next day.

When Jiao’er saw Xiaoxiao, she was as excited as a fan seeing her idol. She served tea and showed Xiaoxiao the account book. She was like a little bee that could not stop. Xiaoxiao pulled her back helplessly. “Why are you showing me that? You’re the Boss of this shop..”
