Chapter 208 Chen Ye Is Back?

"Miss, you are so straightforward. Just now, my two brothers discussed that my relative's family still has a total of 500 kilograms of wood, but it is also wet. Do you think... do you want to collect it together?"

After counting the silver bills, the middle-aged man rubbed his hands happily.

Muchun frowned and scolded: "Don't be too greedy!"

Shen Ningning raised her little hand to stop him and looked at the two brothers.

"You can take it, but I will give you the remaining silver after I receive all the wood."

"Okay, okay! No problem, we can go to the government with Miss to sign the contract."

Shen Ningning nodded, her little face serious: "The contract must be signed, but it will wait."

As she said, she asked Muchun to arrange to find a dozen guards from the prime minister's mansion to follow the two brothers to pull the wood.

Muchun was a little distressed: "Princess... where should we put the wood?"

Shen Ningning poked her chin with her little hand and thought seriously.

Of course she wanted to put it in the fairyland, but she couldn't show it in front of everyone.

At this time, the man said again: "There is an abandoned granary in the alley facing west in the city. We wanted to negotiate to store wood there before, but the owner didn't agree."

"The price they offered was too high. It costs five hundred taels to rent it for a year, but the place is too remote, so we didn't consider it. If you think it's suitable, you can go and ask."

Shen Ningning nodded decisively: "Okay, you can take me to see the granary later."

Find a place to store the wood first, and then move it to the fairyland little by little.

The little guy immediately figured it out in his mind.

Seeing that Shen Ningning had made up her mind, Mu Chun shook her head helplessly.

She turned and went into the mansion to ask the housekeeper for twenty guards.

Suddenly, Shen Ningning saw from the corner of the alley not far away that a person was looking out.

She turned her head and saw that the man had a messy beard and was dressed like a beggar.

But!

Shen Ningning recognized this familiar face immediately. It was Chen Ye!

Didn't he leave the capital?

Chen Ye seemed to come to see Shen Ningning. He waved anxiously.

While the people around were not paying attention, Shen Ningning said to the two men: "Wait here, don't walk around."

After that, she took the initiative to walk to the corner.

Xie Yuanjiu couldn't see where Shen Ningning was going, and his expression became more suspicious.

Over there, the little guy dragged Chen Ye into a dead end.

"Brother Chen, why are you back? Aren't you afraid of being caught?"

After not seeing each other for a month, Chen Ye was probably sleeping outside, and his eyes became darker.

"Miss, General Xie is a capable man. His soldiers have blocked all the waterways outside the capital and controlled all the city gates."

"I went to Chongzhou, but before I could get out, I found that they had closed the city gates and checked the identity certificates one by one. Now the five hundred miles outside the capital are like iron roads, easy to get in and hard to get out. I knew I would be caught if I went out any further, so I just came back."

"But after I came back, I went to Xiangyun Village, but heard that my mother fell ill due to an autumn rain. I wanted to visit her, but there were ambushes everywhere near Xiangyun Village."

"Miss, can you help me? I just need to see my mother and leave when I feel relieved."

Shen Ningning frowned in embarrassment.

Grandma Chen was indeed ill, and she was worried about her son, which was already a pain in the neck.

This illness took half of her life.

Fortunately, a few days ago, Shen Ningning gave her medicinal materials and sent Lingquan water, and Grandma Qin also visited Grandma Chen from time to time, so she got better.

She scratched her face with her little hand: "Brother Chen, even if I can take you there, it can't be now."

Chen Ye hurriedly said: "Even if it's two days later, I want to see my mother again with my own eyes, please help me."

Seeing that he was about to kneel down, Shen Ningning hurriedly helped him up.

"Okay, I'll find a way for you, don't worry."

Chen Ye's eyes were red with frost: "Miss, I can't repay you for your kindness. If I have the chance in the future, I will definitely repay you as a cow and a horse."

Shen Ningning tilted her little head and asked: "Brother Chen, do you have a place to go now?"

Chen Ye shook his head: "The guards in the city are even more strict, I can only find a place to hide temporarily."

Shen Ningning bit her lower lip, struggling back and forth in her heart for several times, and then said: "I am planning to rent a granary."

"If it's okay, you can hide in it for a while, and when it's safe, I will take you to see Granny Chen."

Hearing this, Chen Ye was overjoyed and hurriedly thanked her.

Shen Ningning told him to wait in the alley and follow their carriage.

Then, the little girl let the two men selling wood lead the way, and she took Muchun and twenty Xiangfu guards to the granary.

Xie Yuanjiu heard them leaving and hurried out.

But she saw Shen Ningning's carriage leaving in a cloud of dust. She was about to go forward to see which direction the little girl went.

Unexpectedly, a black figure suddenly flashed in the alley and chased the carriage away.

Xie Yuanjiu was startled and half of her body was quickly hidden in the Xiangfu again.

When she was sure they were far away, she saw them and looked suspicious.

"What did Shen Ningning buy so much wood for two thousand taels? Who was that person just now?" She murmured in a low voice.

She called the maid and asked her to send someone to secretly watch Shen Ningning.

"Report everything to me one by one." She suspected that Shen Ningning was going to cause a big disaster!

And this would be her chance.

Shen Ningning went to the abandoned granary and took a look around.

The granary is surrounded by a courtyard. There are six in total. It covers a wide area and is as large as a small courtyard with three entrances and three exits.

The seller of the granary, a family of four, lives in the small courtyard inside the granary.

Knowing that Shen Ningning was here to buy a granary, they looked her up and down and saw that she was well-dressed. They immediately said, "One price, three thousand taels, no bargaining!"

Shen Ningning pursed her pink lips, and her small face put on an air of seriousness.

"The granary is so big, there are hundreds of holes in it."

"The eaves are falling off. It's not just abandoned, it's simply desolate."

"It would cost me a lot of money to build a place like this, but you ask for three thousand taels? Huh, I won't buy it!" She turned around and left.

"Hey! Miss! Please stay, please stay." The seller caught up and said, "Then... two thousand taels."

"Five hundred taels, not even one cent more. If you don't agree, we won't discuss it." Shen Ningning said firmly.

The seller was stunned, then gritted his teeth: "Five hundred taels is five hundred taels. Then, I can't leave these things to the lady."

He pointed to the rakes in the warehouse.

Shen Ningning nodded, she didn't need these things.

The little guy winked at Munchun.

Wuchun immediately stepped forward and handed over the two hundred taels of silver notes with a majestic expression.

"You have three days to move out and clear out all your belongings. We will arrange for two people to stay and watch."

"On the day you move out, the warehouse owner will take the land deed and go to the government office with me to sign it."

The seller hurriedly said: "It won't take more than three days. We can move out today. I will go through the land deed with you. When we come back and give you the money, we will leave."

Munchun looked at Shen Ningning, and when the little guy nodded, she took the initiative to call two guards and leave with her.

In late spring, I will go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion and get some money.

Shen Ningning directed the guards to move the wood with the two men selling wood.

After a lot of busy work, until evening, the granary filled with wood belonged to the little guy alone.

Six warehouses were crowded with piles of wet wood.

Shen Ningning placed Chen Ye in a small room behind the granary and left him some water, ingredients and dry biscuits, so that he could deal with it for a while.

But in the next two days, she never found a good opportunity to take Chen Ye back to the village.

However, that day, as soon as she left the overseas school, she saw a bodyguard in brown robes walking towards her in a dusty state.

"As a humble official, please see the princess and deliver the letter as ordered by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

As he spoke, he presented the letter with both hands.

Shen Ningning blinked her round black eyes and saw that there was a pink peach blossom in full bloom on the dark yellow envelope.
