Shen Ningning pointed to the sweet potato vine: "I don't have much time to take care of it. If you can take good care of this sweet potato and make it bear fruit within a month, no matter how big or small, I will give you more rewards."

When Dong Sanhua heard this, she hurriedly said: "The princess doesn't need to give me any benefits. I'm very grateful for taking me in."

"Not to mention this pot, just give me a few more pots and I will plant them."

"Okay!" Shen Ningning's eyes lit up: "Just wait."

She ran back to the back room with her little feet and took out six sweet potato vines from the fairyland.

"But I don't have any extra flower pots. You have to find a way to plant them yourself." The little guy handed it to Dong Sanhua.

Dong Sanhua turned over the vine seedlings and looked at the roots, surprised by how fresh the sweet potato vines were.

Uncle Deng took the initiative and said: "I happen to have a few unused flower pots. I will bring them to you later."

Dong Sanhua laughed, quietly and beautifully: "Actually, when planting sweet potato vines, you can't restrict its roots, so you can't put it in a flower pot. But, Brother Deng, just lend me your small shovel later."

Uncle Deng agreed immediately.

Afterwards, Shen Ningning and Uncle Deng sent Dong Sanhua to the abandoned village house.

Dong Sanhua was very diligent. As soon as the things were put away, she immediately started cleaning.

Shen Ningning asked her if she needed help, and Dong Sanhua quickly shook her head politely.

Immediately afterwards, Shen Ningning saw that she had used a shovel to dig up the land next to the kang in the inner room, and then spread the living soil in the flower pots separately into the pit.

Dong Sanhua planted sweet potato vines in it.

Shen Ningning was surprised: "You planted it in the house?"

Dong Sanhua smiled quietly: "It's warm in the house, but if you put it outside, the sweet potato vines won't grow if they get cold."

While they were talking, Uncle Deng had already brought back a lot of firewood and piled it all in the small kitchen.

He also laid out the bedding for her, carried two large tubs out, washed them, and filled them with fresh water brought from home.

Shen Ningning saw that they cooperated with each other, and they had a good understanding.

So he didn't stay any longer, just said goodbye and left.

Uncle Deng has been helping to clean the tables and benches and sweep the dust, and he only goes back in the evening.

"Dad, I'm back." Uncle Deng came in, patted the snow dust on his body, and went to the stove to warm his hands.

He brought over a food box: "I know you didn't eat the pancakes that Ahua baked just now, so I brought you a portion and a bowl of porridge."

The old village chief ignored him and chewed tea stems, looking unhappy.

No matter how dull Uncle Deng was, he still felt it.

"Dad, what's wrong with you?" he asked sitting next to him.

The old village chief sneered: "You still know why you are asking me? You are just a useless thing, boring gourd!"

"When Ning Ning was here, why didn't you say that you wanted Ahua to stay?"

"If you open your mouth, I can help you two get married naturally. It would be better for you to not say anything and cooperate to send the person away."

Uncle Deng was scolded and looked innocent: "Dad, Ahua and I are friends now. We can't force her to marry me just because she is living under someone else's roof. Otherwise, isn't this bullying?"

The old village chief kicked him angrily: "You don't like her? You don't like that you follow her around every day!"

Uncle Deng's face immediately turned red: "I like her, but... I'm not worthy of her, and Ah Hua has never been married."

The old village chief had nothing to say to his son.

He patted his heart angrily, and Uncle Deng quickly poured him tea.

The old village chief slapped him: "Go away, don't be an eyesore in front of me, my life will be shortened if I see you!"

This day.

Shen Ningning left get out of class at the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

As soon as he went out, he saw Xie Mingan's carriage stopped.

A slender white palm lifted the curtain, revealing Xie Mingan's handsome face like a jade master.

He smiled faintly: "What a coincidence. I was about to pick you up when you were out of school? Get in the carriage and go home together."

Shen Ningning pretended not to hear, turned her head and walked towards her carriage.

Xie Mingan's eyes darkened.

He decisively got off the carriage and followed Shen Ningning.

"Why are you still ignoring me? I haven't made you unhappy recently, have I?" Xie Mingan asked.

Shen Ningning stopped her feet and looked at him with dark, watery eyes.

"I just don't want to care about you, so don't bother me!"

"Shen Ningning, you are so heartless. When you said you liked jade, I took out everything my mother left for me. Why don't you remember my kindness?" Xie Mingan said with a frown.

Shen Ningning blinked her big eyes: "What, that's yours? If I had known it was yours, I wouldn't have wanted it."

Xie Mingan didn't expect that she would be so clearly separated from him.

He stretched out his hand and directly blocked Shen Ningning's path, preventing the little guy from getting on the carriage.

"Xie Shaoqing, do you want to bully a child? If I shout now, Master Han will come out and knock you down with a punch!" Shen Ningning threatened him fiercely.

Xie Mingan had a sneer on his thin lips.

He frowned: "The eldest brother is brother, but my second brother is Xie Shaoqing."

"I misunderstood you before. I already said it was my fault. Why do you still hold grudges?"

"Tell me what you can do so that you can forgive me and talk to me properly!"

Shen Ningning was silent.

The cold wind came and lifted their clothes.

After a moment, the little guy turned his head and looked at him with his big, clear, black eyes.

A small face, blown pink by the cold wind.

She said: "Aren't you very good at investigating crimes?"

"Then you can help me find out who my biological father and mother are."

"I don't want to have to face a bare tablet every time I worship them."

"If you find out, I will settle the feud with you."

Xie Mingan was stunned.

By the time he came to his senses, Shen Ningning's carriage had already driven some distance away.

"Okay, I promise you." Xie Mingan raised his voice and made his promise to her in the ice and snow.

Just do it.

After Xie Mingan returned, he immediately sent more than ten confidants to Shuzhou.

Because the maid from the Xie Mansion who was said to have met Shen Ningning's parents ended up in Shuzhou.

Although Xie Mingan had checked before, the maid was already dead.

However, he did not believe that there were no clues.

The wind and snow howled, the weather was gloomy, and soon, a month passed.

"Lord Shaoqing, we found it!"

At night, his confidant ran for hundreds of miles, carrying snow foam on him, and went directly to Xie Mingan's study.

Xie Mingan hurriedly put down the pen in his hand: "How? What's the gain?"

A confidant said: "That maid may not be dead, but was taken away."

Xie Mingan was about to ask more questions when the butler, Uncle Pang, knocked on the door: "Second Young Master, I have summoned you to come over."

Xie Mingan frowned: "I know."

He stood up and said to his confidant: "I'll be back soon."

Xie Mingan arrived at Xie Suzhi's study.

But Xie Suzhi's face was as gloomy as frost: "The people below said that you have been checking the old slaves who served your mother recently?"

"Yes, father." Xie Mingan nodded, still not understanding what Xie Suzhi wanted to do by asking.

Unexpectedly, Xie Suzhi immediately said in a deep voice: "Call your people back immediately. This matter is not allowed to be investigated again."
