Shen Ning was a little confused, a conscious confusion, because she knew what was wrong with her and what she should do. The only bad thing was that her body and mind could not adapt to the impact of this life-overturning shock, and she felt awkward.

Three days was neither long nor short. When Shen Ning had completely calmed down, Qin Zhuo's carriage appeared at the door of the Shen family as promised.

It was a rare sunny day and the thin snow around had melted away. The air was still a little cold, but as long as you stand in the sun, the warm sunshine makes you feel instantly more comfortable.

After changing clothes, Shen Ning walked into the sunshine and looked up to feel the warmth of the sun: "What a nice day."

After a while, Mo Lin came over and said that the Qin Mansion's carriage had arrived.

"Miss."

Liuying grabbed Shen Ning's sleeve and looked at her worriedly.

Originally, she wanted to go with Shen Ning so that he could take care of her, but Shen Ning saw Lu Mei outside the car and kept her.

The young lady was acting strange the last time she met Master Qin, and she went out alone again today. It's really hard not to worry about her.

"It's fine."

Shen Ning patted Liuying's hand, gently let her go and walked towards the door.

Green Plum beside the carriage winked at her, then carefully helped her into the carriage.

As soon as the curtain was opened, a hand reached out.

Shen Ning paused, then reached out and gently placed his hand on the burning palm.

He used his large hand to pull her in with a little force, and led her to sit down, the two of them sitting very close to each other.

The carriage moved slowly. Shen Ning didn't say anything, and Qin Zhuo was not in a hurry to speak.

Lumei opened the door and sat in a corner, making tea for the two of them properly. The carriage would take some time to get to its destination.

Seeing that the two of them were sitting there without talking, Lumei thought that her presence might have disturbed them from speaking their hearts out, so after making some tea, she quickly went to the outer compartment.

Shen Ning stared at the slightly shaking tea, and for a moment he didn't know what to say to Qin Zhuo.

With Du Yunzhi and Ye Feiyan, they can chat about anything under the sun, but when facing Qin Zhuo, it always feels like they are from two different worlds, separated by a huge gap and have nothing to say to each other.

Then her hand was held again.

Without waiting for Shen Ning to make any move, Qin Zhuo spoke up: "Are you looking for a caravan recently?"

Shen Ning: "Well, business is surprisingly good this year. The goods ordered last year have been sold out. Obviously, we may run out of goods in the spring. I want to find a caravan that also accepts orders in winter and stock up on more goods. However, it is close to the New Year, and many caravans will not go out. Those caravans that are willing to go out have already filled their quotas."

Qin Zhuo played with her hands. Shen Ning's palms were not small, but slender and well-proportioned. There were marks on her middle finger and index finger from years of holding pens and using abacus. They were a little rougher than other parts, but it didn't have much impact. In his hands, they were like jade and smooth.

"Your business is not small, and you need a lot of people. Have you ever thought about setting up your own caravan?"

Shen Ning: "I thought about it, but I couldn't hold on."

Shen Ning not only thought about it in his previous life, but he actually established it.

That happened when Shen Ning was 23 years old in his previous life. The Zhu family's Wanlu Gang encountered trouble on the road and the team lost a large order of goods. The leader of the Zhu gang also got into trouble with bandits and lost his life. Zhu Laosan brought his wounded soldiers to the capital and had no other choice but to come to Shen Ning for help.

Shen Ning saved them, and they said they were willing to stay in the capital and work for Shen Ning. Shen Ning also admired their abilities and really kept them.

However, without the Wanlu Gang, the business of Shen Ning's several stores was greatly reduced, but Dongyue could not find a suitable caravan.

In desperation, Shen Ning organized a group of people and asked familiar veterans like Zhu Laosan to lead the way and went to Dongyue in person.

"Floating Clouds" records the process of her walking that path.

She made three trips in total. Although she encountered some dangers, Zhu Laosan and his colleagues used all their skills and finally opened up this trade route. She also bought several shops in Suzhou and Hangzhou as transit points, so she could get Suzhou embroidery, brocade, porcelain, etc. at the first opportunity.

Although this success took a lot of her effort, the results were gratifying. In those years, Shen Ning made a fortune.

However, God will not let anyone have it too easy. Don't forget that she has a nemesis, Shen Shu.

Liang Zhuo and Wei Congwen were devoted to Shen Shu. Seeing Shen Shu "struggling painfully" with Han Yin while Shen Ning was in high spirits, how could they pretend not to see it?

Under Shen Shu's intentional or unintentional crying, the two men attacked Shen Ning's caravan.

Liang Zhuo had his men burn down the Shen Ning caravan’s base and stuffed a child’s body into it.

Wei Congwen "happened" to pass by and witnessed the whole process. The matter was reported to the Dali Temple, and several people in the caravan were wrongfully imprisoned. Shen Ning, as the host, was also summoned for questioning many times.

She knew that her companions were innocent, so she tried every possible means to rescue them, spending a lot of money, but in the end two of them died.

The rest of the people were rescued by her, but they were also left with disabilities.

The caravan was reduced to ashes, and even if she wanted to regroup, she couldn't find the right person.

At that time, she was so busy that she was dizzy and could not find the truth behind Liang Zhuo. Even Wei Congwen was just an accidental witness who passed by. Shen Ning thought that Wei Congwen just couldn't bear to see her doing well, so he took advantage of her misfortune. It was two or three years later that she found out the truth.

At that time, she not only knew the truth, but also lost Sister Liuying, so she let Liang Zhuo die outside without leaving any trace.

At that time, Wei Congwen was already a third-rank official in the court and had joined the Ministry of Justice, so she couldn't kill him.

Although this was caused by grudges in previous lives, she also understood one thing.

She could set up a caravan and run it well, but she didn't have enough power, and death from conspiracy and intrigue was the inevitable result.

If it wasn't Liang Zhuo and Wei Congwen, it would definitely be someone else.

A big tree attracts the wind, and a tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. When she was making money in those years, many people were jealous of her.

In this life, she does not have the ambition and drive of her previous life. She still wants to make money, but she wants to make it in a low-key and safe way, and then hide it so that everyone will think she is losing money. Then she can live in peace and wealth until she grows old.

She does not like luxury and has no brothers or sons to support. Even with what she has now, it is enough for her to live comfortably until her old age.

Therefore, she would not think about the caravan’s affairs for the time being, and she hoped that her presence could change the fate of the Zhu family and that the cooperation would continue.

Qin Zhuo saw that Shen Ning hadn't spoken for a long time, but her anger had increased a bit. He didn't understand what she was thinking, but he had a plan in mind.

"I do know a team that can help you, but they will cost you a lot."

When Shen Ning heard the first sentence, she subconsciously wanted to refuse. What she was most afraid of now was that Qin Zhuo would help her. But the second sentence made her feel at ease. Talking about money makes people feel at ease.

"What kind of team is it? Can you help introduce it to me, sir?"
