Jiang Ying and Uncle Su didn’t say much. They got into the carriage and continued to drive it to the village.

“Do you remember the carriage…” The words dissipated in the wind.

Jiang Ying did not intend to return the carriage to him at all. He still had a sum of money after selling the carriage. This money would be used as the first sum of money for his cooperation with Ning Yue.

The main thing was that he would probably be furious to know that his carriage had been used by Jiang Ying for business.

The car arrived at the Ning family’s temporary residence. When the eldest son of the Ning family saw Jiang Ying, he immediately asked Ning Erlang to call Ning Yue over.

When Ning Yue came out and saw the carriage, she was very puzzled. Was this a thank-you gift? Or was it saltpeter?

Before Ning Yue could ask, Uncle Su opened the carriage door.

A group of people got out of the car. Ning Yue looked at them for a long time before realizing that the people in the carriage were First Aunt’s family and Second Aunt’s family.

“Grandpa and Grandma! Eldest Aunt and Second Aunt are back!” Ning Yue shouted excitedly into the house.

She went forward to pull Eldest Aunt and Second Aunt to a stop. “Aunt, you’ve suffered.”

Eldest Aunt and Second Aunt had lost a lot of weight. They had lost their looks, especially Eldest Aunt. She was so thin that she looked like she would collapse if the wind blew. Her eyes were listless, and she only looked a little energetic when she saw Ning Yue.

When Old Master Ning and Old Madam Ning heard Ning Yue’s cry, they thought they had heard wrongly at first. It was not until they ran out and saw their two daughters that they believed that all of this was true.

“My daughter! You’ve suffered!” Old Madam Ning hugged the two children and wailed. Beside her, Old Master Ning’s eyes were also wet.

The entire Ning family ran out. When they saw the two of them, the woman was crying uncontrollably. The men’s eyes were also wet.

“Mother, I lost Xiaochen.” First Aunt was sobbing.

These days, she spent every day in guilt and self-blame. She was the one who had lost the children and the entire Jiang family.

“Xiaochen? Xiaochen, come quickly!” Old Master Ning knew that his eldest daughter missed the children and immediately pulled Xiaochen over.

Xiaochen also missed his mother very much. When he saw the people coming out of the carriage, he was stunned, but he was still a child. When he was pulled to his mother by his grandfather, he also hugged his mother and cried loudly.

Her first uncle held his wife and son together. These days, he kept trying not to make her feel worse.

Seeing this scene, Ning Yue felt suffocated. She sighed and walked to Jiang Ying’s side. “Prince, thank you very much.”

“You’re welcome. It just so happened that my friend met them and saw that they were pitiful, so he took them in to work for him.”

“Thank your friend for me,” Ning Yue said.

“Thank you for the gift,” Jiang Ying teased her.

The two of them tacitly pretended that the matters at the General’s residence did not exist.

Ning Yue smiled. “Sure. What does your friend like?”

“He likes to drink,” Jiang Ying replied casually.

Wine was not a very rare thing. All the shops in town sold it, but only in the capital could one buy good wine with a good texture.

“Alright. When I get it in town, please pass it to your friend, Your Highness,” Ning Yue replied.

Jiang Ying didn’t stay for long before leaving.

“Fortunately, our place is big enough to build a few more houses. We can all live together,” Old Master Ning said.

“We met a benefactor along the way. Thank the heavens,” Old Madam Ning sighed.

Wasn’t that so? Whether it was First Aunt’s family or the Ning family, they were all indirectly or directly saved by Jiang Ying.

Although most of the reason for the Ning family was still because of Ning Yue, other than Ning Yue herself, no one else knew.

On this day, the Ning family was very happy because First Aunt and Second Aunt had returned. No matter what, the entire family was reunited.

First Aunt, who had been sick because she missed her son, suddenly felt much better.

Recalling the matter of making ice, Ning Yue returned to her room and locked the door. She entered the space and went to the frozen warehouse. There was everything here, including ice cubes.

She thought about it and put the basin full of water in the freezer. The ice would be ready in one night. But in order not to arouse Jiang’s suspicion, she got some saltpeter from the corner of the dirt house and carefully wrapped it in a handkerchief.

Tomorrow, she would bring this to Jiang Ying.
