"Don't worry about it." Jiang Ruanxi's mouth curved, "Even if it is stolen, you still have to have a chance to get out openly."

Although Jiang Ruanxi did not pursue the case, Hongye felt very remorseful in her heart. No matter what, it was because of her negligence that Zhong Xintong took it away this time. She must take care of Jiang Ruanxi's things next time. .

It was impossible to prevent this kind of thing, so she decided to buy another lock.

**

"Miss, He Kui has sent a letter."

After a while, Hongye came in and said.

Jiang Ruanxi was overjoyed, "Quick, show me the letter."

Just after reading the content, Jiang Ruanxi's mood became particularly heavy, and Hong Ye couldn't help but feel nervous when she saw it in her eyes.

"Madam, did you encounter something difficult?"

"This drought is more serious than I thought. Although the city in Lingnan seems to be singing and dancing and is not affected, in fact the people in the surrounding villages have already begun to flee."

Although there is plenty of food now, if there is not much food harvested during the autumn harvest, this place will be full of corpses. "Then, what should we do?" Hongye showed a frightened expression.

Jiang Ruanxi's heart was also extremely heavy.

"Tomorrow is the Lingnan meeting. We will go out then. You ask He Kui to wait for me in Delin. I want to ask in person."

"Yes, ma'am."

Jiang Ruanxi went out early the next day.

Zhong Xintong stole something yesterday, but she was very worried in her heart, thinking that Jiang Ruanxi would come back and cause trouble for her yesterday afternoon.

She waited for a long time and even made excuses, but Jiang Ruan Xi didn't come to the door.

After struggling all night, she still felt uneasy, so she planned to come over for a meeting in the morning, but unexpectedly she saw Jiang Ruanxi going out.

Could it be that there were too many things and I just lost two pieces of cloth and didn't find them?

damn it!

Anger flashed in Zhong Xintong's eyes.

This realization was even more uncomfortable than when Jiang Ruan Xi knew that she had stolen her things.

He's just an unpopular bitch brought back from the countryside. Why is he so arrogant to himself?

"Second young lady, the eldest lady just went out yesterday and went out again today. Could it be that there is some hidden secret?"

"She is a girl from the countryside. How can she have any hidden secrets?"

Lin Mu said, "My second young lady, why are you so innocent? Do you still remember how the young lady from the Wang family died last year?"

Before Zhong Xintong could speak, Lin Mu began to chirp, "The girls who were married to the Yu family before all died on the spot on their wedding night, but this Miss Wang was different. In order not to marry the Yu family, she went to the Yu family directly. My cousin eloped. Later, the Yu family found out about it and heard that he was beaten to death."

Zhong Xintong's eyes lit up, "You mean Zhong Ling went out to steal people?"

"Oh, my second young lady, I didn't say this. But no girl in Lingnan City likes to marry into the Yu family. Who knows if the eldest lady will do the same thing to her face and behind her back."

"According to what you said, this girl from the countryside is probably doing bad things. Come on, let's follow her and take a look."

Jiang Ruanxi's carriage had only walked a few steps when Yuyu said, "Miss, the second lady's carriage is following behind."

"Don't worry about it, just find a place to throw it away."

The carriage moved slowly, and after a few laps, Jiang Ruanxi threw Zhong Xintong away.

After a while, he disappeared into Delin Restaurant.

He Kui has been waiting in the room for a long time.

"I've met Madam." He Kui said respectfully.

"How's the business I asked you to do?"

"Back to Madam, from last year until now, my subordinates have hoarded a large amount of food in the south. They can flow into the market just waiting for Madam's order. However, although the price of food is high now, it is not the best time."

Jiang Ruanxi knew that He Kui was reliable in doing things, "Please wait for the food matter. If I tell you not to move, you must not move. Do you understand?"

He Kui frowned, "Madam, if we start reselling food according to the cost of our food harvesting, we can actually make a lot of money."

Jiang Ruanxi took off his hat and picked up the teacup on the table, "He Kui, the purpose of my harvest is not to make money."

He Kui was surprised. It wasn't for the money. What was it for?

Obviously, Jiang Ruanxi did not intend to explain, but asked, "Is there anything happening in the Jiang family recently?"

"Go back to Madam, the Jiang family is buying grain at a high price."

"Are you still buying food at this time?"

He Kui nodded, "There is no hope for the autumn harvest today. People in several nearby villages have begun to resell their grain and cultivated land in order to survive. My subordinates guessed that they probably want to leave this place, but such people are still in the minority. Most of them Some people are still waiting and watching, hoping that God will send rain so that they can plant other crops next year."

Lingnan has a hot and humid climate and can grow three crops of rice a year. The last season of rice can be sown again after harvest. Even if it is sown later, the harvest will not be affected.

Jiang Ruanxi knew that it would rain heavily in a month.

But if the people buy up all the food in their hands, then there will be no more seeds to sow.

By then, all the food and land will be in the hands of the Jiang family. Will the price of food be controlled by the Jiang family?

"Let's see, instead of buying grain at a high price for the Jiang family, you can sell all the grain stored in several nearby warehouses to them at a higher price."

"Yes, ma'am."

Jiang Ruanxi thought about Jiang Linlei's character and felt a little worried, "Find someone to follow the Jiang family. If there is any trouble, come and tell me. Remember, people in the Jiang family are suspicious by nature, so it's best not to be discovered."

"I obey my orders."

Jiang Ruanxi knew very well that Jiang Linlei had many ways to drive up prices.

Drought is just an opportunity.

If you want to achieve the purpose of raising prices by purchasing grain, the cost is really too high.

Jiang Linlei is not stupid, and it will definitely not last long, but what is his real purpose?

The sunshine in Lingnan is a bit poisonous, and it can cause burning pain on people's faces.

Jiang Ruanxi put on her curtain hat and came out of Delin Restaurant, and happened to meet Jiang Linlei who came to eat.

This time, without Master Yu's help, she had no reason to back down.

Against the light, Jiang Linlei also noticed her.

"Isn't this Mr. Yu's fiancée? It's really fate that we can meet here."

Jiang Linlei clearly knew that she was his fiancée, but he said that she was destined to be her. Jiang Linlei was clearly deliberately disgusting himself.

Jiang Ruan Xi saluted him and did not intend to say anything. Instead, she silently walked around him and left.

But Jiang Linlei had no intention of letting her go like this, and stepped forward to block her way, "Miss Zhong, you are an acquaintance after all. Even if you want to leave, you must at least show your true face, right?"
