Qingzhou, Lin Mansion.

After receiving the news, Lin Wufeng, the head of the Lin family, rushed back to the Lin Mansion immediately.

The atmosphere in the mansion suddenly became serious.

At this moment, all the members of the Lin family, including Lin Wanwan, were standing in the Lin family's ancestral hall.

The head of the family, Lin Wufeng, held the incense burner in his hand, knelt respectfully in front of the ancestral hall, and kowtowed three times.

Upon seeing this, everyone in the Lin family knelt down and kowtowed.

“…”

Behind him were a few mages dancing.

He was exorcising ghosts and catching evil spirits in the Lin Family Ancestral Hall, muttering evil words in a language that ordinary people could not understand.

...

...

The valuables in the Lin Mansion suddenly disappeared out of thin air, shocking the entire Qingzhou.

Thousands of people from the Qingzhou government office and dozens of pawnshops, large and small, continued to search, but they did not find any trace of the thieves.

When something is abnormal, there must be something wrong!

The head of the Lin family, who had originally rushed back to see his biological daughter, immediately changed his route and returned to the Lin Mansion half a day late. He brought a dozen highly respected magicians to the Lin family to exorcise ghosts.

"Who on earth emptied the Lin family?!"

Lin Wanwan knelt down pretending to pray, her brows tightly knitted together.

The reason why she chose this time to return to the Lin family to recognize her relatives was that she wanted to use the Lin family's assets to overcome the first crisis at the beginning of the famine.

But she didn't expect that such a thing would happen in the Lin family just after she returned!

"It can't be a ghost! No... I can be reborn, so why can't there be ghosts?"

Lin Wanwan didn't believe in ghosts and gods at first, but after thinking about her own experience, she became hesitant.

However, no matter what, a famine is about to break out in Qingzhou.

She must plan for the future early!

"Father!"

After the ritual was over, Lin Wanwan immediately stepped forward to pay her respects to the head of the Lin family.

"You are Wanwan, right? Good boy, get up quickly!"

Lin Wufeng forced a smile.

It’s not that he has any dissatisfaction with Lin Wanwan.

But after such an incident happened in the Lin family, the head of the Lin family really had no intention of caring about this so-called biological daughter.

In particular, part of the stolen property from the Lin Mansion was payment for goods.

Now all of a sudden both the goods and the money are gone. If the Lin family’s reputation in Qingzhou wasn’t high enough, I’m afraid the partners would come to collect the debt!

"Father, are you worried about the theft in the mansion?"

Lin Wanwan looked at the head of the Lin family, paused and said, "My daughter has a plan. If it works, it may help father solve his urgent problem!"

Lin Wufeng's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this.

He had long heard that this daughter who was living away from home was both beautiful and talented, and her fame spread throughout Qingzhou after a poetry reading.

Even her poems have been introduced to the capital, and her fame has risen rapidly.

Perhaps, this daughter really has an idea that can solve the urgent problem!

"Let's go, let's go to the study and talk with father." Lin Wufeng strode ahead and led the way, obviously he couldn't wait any longer.

Seeing this, Lin Wanwan immediately followed.

Finally, it was her chance to show her abilities. She must seize this opportunity to gain a foothold in the Lin family and establish her prestige.

study.

At this moment, Lin Wufeng and Lin Wanwan looked very embarrassed.

After all, the study had already been emptied by the thieves.

Even the windows had been removed, there wasn't even a tile on the roof to provide shade, and no tables or chairs were allowed to remain.

It seems that there is no need to discuss things in the study.

Lin Wufeng smiled awkwardly and said, "It's a pity to be late."

Lin Wanwan quickly suppressed the embarrassment on her face and said seriously, "Father, Wanwan is not wronged. Wanwan just wants to help you solve the dilemma as soon as possible."

"Okay, okay, I wonder if you have any good ideas?" Lin Wufeng asked impatiently.

"Father, doesn't Third Uncle also do the money lending business? Why don't we ask him to lend us some money?"

Lin Wanwan spoke eloquently, without any of the cautiousness and humility of a country person, and her conversation was full of calmness.

"When I came back, I overheard an important secret. The General Zhenbei died suddenly, Hanshan Pass has been breached by the Northern Barbarians, and the entire northern border will soon fall. Our Qingzhou is no longer safe."

"Few aristocratic families in Qingzhou know about this news. We can take advantage of this time difference and buy up all the grain in the vicinity of Qingzhou at a price slightly higher than the market price. Once the news spreads, the price of grain will definitely skyrocket. We can then sell it for ten or a hundred times the price, and we will be able to make a fortune very quickly!"

"Also, Dad, once we make money, we have to leave Qingzhou as soon as possible and move to Lingnan!"

Lin Wufeng never expected Lin Wanwan to say such a thing, and was so shocked that he couldn't recover for a long time.

Since he could sit on the position of the head of Lin family, he was definitely not someone who could be easily fooled.

What's more, she is the biological daughter who had just been found, and there is no trust between the two parties.

"You can't just say these things. Do you have any evidence? How can I take risks just because of this hearsay from you?"

Lin Wufeng looked serious and disappointed, thinking that his daughter was just making a fool of herself.

Lin Wanwan knew it was not easy to gain her father's trust, so she gritted her teeth and said, "Father, I'll tell you the truth. I have the ability to predict the future. Otherwise, how would I know that you are my biological parents?"

"If you don't believe me, I can tell you a few more things that will happen in Qingzhou in the next few days. You can check it out."

Baishan Village, Shen family.

"Little sister, why are you back? Where's your man? Why didn't he come back with you? Who is this?"

Shen Yuehua's sister-in-law Wang Fanghong was very surprised when she saw her younger sister coming back suddenly.

Shen Yuehua seldom goes back to her parents' home, so she asked this question.

"Sister-in-law, I came back for something. Are my parents and brother at home?" Shen Yuehua greeted Wang Fanghong with a smile.

"Dad and Mom, your eldest brother and his friends are carrying water to irrigate the fields. It's too hot today. The crops have already stopped growing. It's all in vain no matter how much water they're pouring."

"Your second brother is not at home because he went into the mountains to hunt."

Wang Fanghong quickly invited the two people in and poured them some water as a treat.

"Sister-in-law, stop busying yourself. Go to the field and call everyone back. I have something important to tell you." Shen Yuehua put the souvenirs she had prepared in advance on the table and urged.

Seeing that her younger sister had a serious expression as if she had something important to say, Wang Fanghong did not dare to delay and hurried out to call for help.

The ancestors of the Shen family were scholars, but unfortunately their descendants were not ambitious enough and had no talent for studying, so they gradually fell into decline.

By Shen Yuehua's generation, her two brothers had no talent for studying and both stayed at home to farm.

After Shen Yuehua and his wife came here, they secretly started a small business to support their two brothers, and they lived a relatively rich life.

Su Yunhai was proficient in both literature and martial arts. In his spare time, he taught his two uncles kung fu for self-defense. Unexpectedly, his second brother was quite talented in martial arts.

Over the past eight years, Shen Yuehua's second brother has been practicing martial arts and has made great achievements. He occasionally goes up the mountain to hunt to improve his life.

Soon, all the members of the Shen family were called back.

"My daughter, why are you here? What happened that makes you so anxious?" Old Mrs. Shen shouted anxiously before even entering the house.

"Mom, Dad, don't be anxious, let's talk after we get home."

When Shen Yuehua heard the voice, she hurried out to greet him and helped him into the house.

A large group of Shen family members followed behind him.

After everyone arrived, Shen Yuehua began to explain her purpose.

"Dad, Mom, Lao Su and I are going to escape the famine in a few days. We can't continue to live here."

Shen Yuehua told the Shen family all the news she had received without missing a word.

"What? Girl, don't say that. Our general is very powerful. How could he be harmed? How could the northern barbarians invade us?"

Old man Shen was overwhelmed by the countless bad news for a while, and his first reaction was to deny these terrible news.

At this moment, it’s not just Old Man Shen.

No one in the Shen family could believe the news brought by Shen Yuehua.
