Song Qianning snorted, revealing a rare bit of arrogance: "Of course it's because I have a kind heart and can't bear to see those people suffer."

Hearing this, Qin Ye's lips curled up, and a touch of softness appeared on his face. He nodded in agreement: "Miss Song is indeed kind."

If it weren't for Song Qianning's kindness in helping, many of those people would have gone bankrupt due to taxes.

Ever since Song Qianning distributed the magical seeds, there have been fewer beggars on the streets. Unlike before, their number would increase every day and they all looked pale and thin.

Most of those beggars are forced by taxes and are forced to do so because of their hardship and they can't survive, so they choose to beg for a living.

No one wants to beg on the street if they can fill their stomach.

Therefore, after getting the magic seeds and having something to eat, those people no longer continued to be beggars.

And all the credit for this goes to Song Qianning, it was she who helped those people.

As his eyes lingered on Song Qianning, Qin Ye's smile deepened.

Not knowing what Qin Ye was thinking, after saying that, Song Qianning lowered her head and thought of another thing.

Given Ning's greedy nature, he would definitely bring people to look for her after hearing where she found the magical seeds.

Whenever Song Qianning thought about Ning's possible current situation, she became more and more curious and expectant.

He couldn't help but stroke his chin and muttered to himself, "I don't know what happened to that Ning family now."

…

It was almost as Song Qianning expected. After finding out the source of the seeds from her, Ning hurried back to the government office.

Without even a moment's delay, Ning hurriedly found some people and headed to the deep mountains that Song Qianning mentioned to look for the magical seeds.

Seeds will not grow legs and run away, but Ning was anxious and wished she could see the magical seeds that Song Qianning mentioned right away.

Ning, who couldn't wait to see the seed, brought his people to the mountain. Not only did he ask others to look for it, he also started looking for it himself.

The forest was very deep, and Ning followed Song Qianning's instructions and led the people inside.

As she walked, she sharply ordered the others to report to her as soon as they found the seeds.

In order not to miss the magical seeds, everyone lowered their heads and looked carefully at the ground from the moment they entered the mountain.

After searching for almost several hours, the group of people found nothing and were exhausted both physically and mentally.

"Madam, I don't see any seeds around. Are we in the wrong place?"

Ning was sweating profusely from exhaustion at this point. She glared at the person who had spoken. "What nonsense! If I say I have it, I have it. Hurry and find it for me. If you don't find the magical seed, I will definitely not let you off!"

While cursing, Ning was also worried in her heart.

According to Song Qianning, she found the magical seeds in the mountains. There was no reason why the other party could find them but she couldn't.

Another two hours passed in a flash, and the people brought by Ning were so tired that they could hardly walk.

Ning, who refused to give up, led his men to continue walking forward. Halfway through, a tiger's roar suddenly came from the front.

The moment the tiger roared, the faces of the group of people, including Ning, turned pale as paper.

"Old, old, old, old tiger!"

Seeing the tiger running towards them not far away, Ning's mind went blank and she no longer remembered anything about planting seeds or not.

With a scream, he ran back with all his strength.

In order to find the magical seeds, Ning brought a lot of people out, but those people were all servants, and few of them could really fight, especially when they were facing a tiger that had been hungry for who knows how long.

It took half an hour for a group of people to come out of the mountain.

Except for Ning, everyone else was injured to varying degrees, some bitten by tigers, and some injured while escaping.

For fear of encountering any wild beasts again, everyone did not dare to delay any longer after escaping from the forest and hurried back.

When she was escaping, most of the pearl hairpins on Ning's head fell off, and her clothes were caught by stones and branches, making it impossible to recognize their original shape. She looked like a crazy woman fleeing.

Upon learning of Ning's experience on the mountain, Ning Qiuze didn't show any concern. He scolded her and finally threw his sleeves, saying bitterly, "What a useless person!"

Ning, who was scolded, was full of complaints and became more and more resentful towards Song Qianning.

After this incident, she finally understood that there were no magical seeds on the mountain.

It must be that bitch Song Qianning who is deliberately playing tricks on her!

The next morning, Ning, who had been angry all night, immediately brought people and went to Song Qianning's restaurant angrily.

At that time, Song Qianning was busy in the restaurant. Seeing Ning, she seemed puzzled: "Madam Ning, why are you here again?"

"Song Qianning, you still dare to ask!" Ning's face was ferocious, staring at Song Qianning with red eyes: "Why are you playing tricks on me?!"

"Mrs. Ning, I don't understand what you mean, and I have never teased you."

Seeing the confusion on her face, Ning became even angrier: "You deliberately lied to me that there were magical seeds on the mountain and asked me to go look for them, but I didn't find any!"

Not only did he fail to find the seeds, but he was also almost eaten by a tiger.

Because of what Ning said, Song Qianning looked innocent: "Madam Ning, those magical seeds were indeed found by me in the mountains."

"Maybe I finished searching last time and you didn't find it. Going to the mountain was your own wish, and I never asked you to look for it."

Ning was filled with anger. When she heard what Song Qianning said, she was so angry that her head was about to burst into flames.

Believing that Song Qianning was deliberately teasing her, and seeing her still feigning innocence, Ning, losing her mind, shrieked and ordered the people she had brought with her: "Smash them all!"

Today she will let Song Qianning know the price of deceiving her!

When those people heard Ning's order, they rolled up their sleeves and went forward to smash the tables, chairs and other items in the restaurant.

During this time, Song Qianning just stood aside and watched, with no intention of stepping forward to stop it.

Thinking that she didn't react because she was scared silly, Ning looked at her viciously and kept saying unpleasant words.

At the same time, he did not forget to order his men: "Smash everything in here, don't leave anything behind!"

In less than half an incense stick of time, everything that could be smashed in the restaurant was smashed, and the ground was littered with broken tables and chairs and debris.

It was a mess, with no place to step. It was really miserable.

Until the Ning family's men had almost completely destroyed the restaurant, Song Qianning, who had been silent all this time, suddenly burst into tears in front of everyone.

Tears fell like beads from a broken string, and her body trembled. "Madam Ning, I believe I have never offended you. Why do you treat me like this? Ever since taxes were raised a few days ago, life has been difficult for everyone. Recently, my business has finally started to pick up a little bit..."

The more she spoke, the more her voice choked up. "Madam Ning, you're the wife of the prefect. Even after the tax increase, you can wear gold and silver. But I'm just an ordinary citizen. Why do you live well, but can't bear to see the people live a normal life?"
