In the previous life, she was fed to dogs by her elder sister, and she was reborn to seek revenge

The snowflakes fell heavily all night long, and instead of stopping, they got heavier and heavier. The emperor immediately sent two princes, Ye Tinghua and Ye Tingxuan, to deal with the resettlement of the victims.

Ye Tingxuan ordered people to build a temporary shelter at the city gate to accommodate the victims overnight, while Ye Tingxuan was busy organizing people to set up porridge stalls.

On the city gate tower, Ye Tingxuan was wearing a black cloak, holding an oil-paper umbrella, with a dark fox fur collar around his neck, and looking expressionlessly at the victims outside the city gate.

Ye Tinghua, who was standing next to Ye Tingxuan, was wearing a snow-white mink cloak with a white coat underneath. He was not holding an umbrella. Snowflakes fluttered down on his body, and then disappeared in an instant, quickly blending into the color of his body.

Ye Tingxuan was the first to speak and break the silence, saying, "Why is Third Brother here too? Is he admiring your masterpiece?"

Ye Tinghua's heart skipped a beat after hearing this, but his expression remained unchanged. He couldn't make up his mind for a moment, whether Ye Tingxuan really had evidence or was just trying to trick him.

So Ye Tinghua chuckled and said, "It's a pity that Sixth Brother is such an imaginative person but doesn't write a storybook."

Ye Tingxuan turned his head and glanced at Ye Tinghua, silently moved the umbrella closer to him and said, "Then why doesn't Third Brother, who is such a good actor, join the opera troupe to sing?"

Ye Tinghua calmly pushed back the oil-paper umbrella that Ye Tingxuan was leaning towards him and said, "It's snowing, not like knives falling. I'm not as hypocritical as you. Sixth brother, keep it for yourself."

The victims at the city gate drank hot porridge to keep warm while looking at the two princes standing on the city wall. They couldn't help but sigh that the two princes had a very good relationship.

The heavy snow finally stopped early the next morning. After a night, most of the victims were temporarily and properly accommodated. The next step was to deal with where to go for the victims.

Due to the outstanding performance of Ye Tinghua and Ye Tingxuan this time, the emperor gave this task to them both to do together.

In the mansion of Marquis Pingnan, at Aunt Liu's place, her uncle Xue Ding sent someone to pass on a message early in the morning. It was extremely urgent and he wanted Aunt Liu to leave the mansion as he had something important to discuss.

When Aunt Liu received the news, she immediately disguised herself and sneaked out of the house pretending to be a maid going out to buy groceries.

As soon as Aunt Liu left the house, she got into a carriage on the corner of the street. As soon as Aunt Liu got on the carriage, it left immediately and wandered aimlessly on the street.

The person sitting in the carriage was Xue Ding. As soon as Xue Ding saw Aunt Liu, he immediately said with a sad face.

"Niang Yan, you must help me this time! It was you who asked me to sell grain to the Shen family, but after I received the deposit, they didn't pay the balance! Now the third prince has donated 100,000 dan of grain, and the other princes have also donated a lot, but the Shen family really hasn't made any move at all!"

When Aunt Liu heard this, she instantly breathed a sigh of relief. She rolled her eyes, took out a handkerchief from her bosom, shook it and said.

"I thought it was something extremely urgent! So it's this? What's the big deal? If the Shen family doesn't want the grain, then they don't have it. The New Year is coming to an end, so there's no need to worry about the grain being difficult to sell. It's also good to earn a deposit from them."

Having said that, Xue Ding immediately stopped talking. He frowned, held his head with both hands, and grabbed his hair in pain, without saying a word.

Aunt Liu immediately panicked upon seeing this. She hurriedly pulled Xue Ding and said, "Is there something else wrong with the grain? Speak! You're making me anxious to death!"

Under Aunt Liu's repeated pulling, Xue Ding finally spoke, "Yanniang, that batch of grain...that batch of grain...that batch of grain...it...it's gone!"

Aunt Liu's heart sank when she heard this. She desperately patted her chest, which was heaving violently, with her hand holding the handkerchief, and said, "Explain yourself clearly! How much food is missing? Where did you put it? Why did it disappear? When did it disappear?"

Xue Ding grabbed his head with a painful expression and said, "Everything! Everything is gone! All the food is gone! Yan Niang! What should we do? Yan Niang! You must think of a solution!"

Aunt Liu took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. She gritted her teeth and asked, "When did you find out? Did you send someone to investigate? Did you report it to the police?"

Xue Ding was completely panicked at this moment. He placed all his hopes on Aunt Liu. He spoke slowly.

"I found out it was missing last night. This is 100,000 dan of grain! I put it in a warehouse in the north of the city. I also sent hundreds of people to guard it. No one knew when it disappeared. It just disappeared under the noses of hundreds of people.

How dare I report it to the police! If I report it to the police, the Shen mother and daughter will definitely know that I sold the grain to them, and they will definitely implicate you. Besides, the other party can transport 100,000 dan of grain under the eyes of hundreds of people. They must be very powerful. It will be useless if I just report it to the police.

Yanniang! All my belongings are tied up in this batch of grain! You must save me!"

Aunt Liu was at a loss for a moment. She rubbed her temples exhaustedly and said, "All my wealth is in this, and I have also borrowed a lot of money from others. You should pay me back part of the deposit that Shen gave you. I will go back and think about the rest before making any plans."

Xue Ding looked at Aunt Liu with difficulty, and stammered, "Yanniang, this... my family depends on this little money for food, and you don't have to spend money in the Marquis' Mansion... you should leave this money to your uncle..."

Aunt Liu was so angry at Xue Ding's words that she was fuming. She took a deep breath and said angrily.

"If I can't pay back the money, the debt collectors will come to the Marquis' Mansion. If the Marquis knows about this, he will immediately kick me out. By then, without the support of the Marquis' Mansion, you will continue to live your previous poor life!"

When Xue Ding heard Aunt Liu's analysis, he was immediately frightened and nodded repeatedly, saying, "Yes, yes, yes, what Yanniang said is right! It is still Yanniang who considers things carefully. It is my uncle who is not thoughtful. I will have someone send the banknotes later."

Aunt Liu frowned, rubbed her forehead and said, "Well, it's getting late. The master should be back from the morning court. Send me back quickly so I can think about what to do about this matter."

After returning home, Aunt Liu immediately slipped back to her room to change her clothes. Just as she changed her clothes, Lin Shan, who had just finished his morning court session, pushed the door open and walked in.

Aunt Liu hurriedly bowed to Lin Shan and said, "Master...Master...why did you come to see me today?"

Seeing Aunt Liu acting sneaky, Lin Shan frowned in dissatisfaction, "I haven't seen you for a long time. I want to see what you are busy with every day."

Aunt Liu quickly caught the displeasure in Lin Shan's tone, and also realized that she had just been in a mess, so she quickly made amends and said, "Well, the New Year is coming soon, and I want to prepare a surprise for the master during the New Year. I have been busy with this matter recently! Did the master suspect me with that expression just now?"

Aunt Liu's delicate tone, coupled with her aggrieved expression, immediately dispelled Lin Shan's doubts. He quickly took Aunt Liu's hand and comforted her, "I haven't seen you for a long time, Yanniang, and I'm just joking with you! Don't be angry with me!"
