Ning Wan thought about it and turned her gaze to the task requirements again.
If she remembered correctly, this token was a good thing, and it could be said to be a great opportunity for Shen Jingwen.
It can even be said to be a turning point in Shen Jingwen's life, and the first real "stepping stone" on the road to becoming a powerful official.
And now my mission is...
Well, it’s hard to put it into words.
Isn't this really killing her?
Where is the character that was promised to be proficient in everything from music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and to be reasonable?
Which kind and reasonable person would steal the token?
Ning Wan suddenly realized why the previous task did not include the word "seeking death". This task was simply not on the same level.
Ning Wan didn't dare waste even a moment thinking this way. After collecting her thoughts, she glanced at the two girls beside her.
"Go prepare some gifts and follow me to find your future son-in-law."
Chunqin and Luzhu were still thinking about whether to remind some young ladies to go and congratulate their future son-in-law. When they suddenly heard the young lady mention this matter herself, they naturally cooperated very well and quickly got up to find the housekeeper.
He took some cloth for making clothes from the warehouse, a bag of flour, and then a set of four treasures of the study, fine tea, and some medicinal herbs that can replenish qi and blood.
After a while, the back of the carriage was full.
After everything was ready, Ning Wan took Chunqin and Luzhu on a carriage and headed straight for South Street.
On the road, many people recognized the Ning Mansion's carriage, and seeing the direction it was heading, they couldn't help but sigh: "What are you going to do in such a hurry?"
"Isn't that possible?" The person traveling with him raised his head, quickly glanced at the carriage that was almost out of sight, and said calmly: "Looking at this direction, we should know that they must be going to look for Master Shen."
"Have you forgotten that Mr. Shen is now a scholar? It is reasonable for the Ning family to go and see him and send some gifts, otherwise it will inevitably give people a chance to talk."

In the back house of the Zhou Mansion, in Zhou Wenhuai's study.
"Are you sure you're seeing right?"
Zhou Wenhuai stood in the study, looking at the servant he had stationed at the gate of Ning Mansion, always keeping an eye on Ning Wan's movements, with a hint of doubt in his tone.
They both passed the academy examination, he was just one level lower than the one surnamed Shen. Why didn't she even let him enter the mansion, but was willing to go to the trouble of congratulating the poor scholar?
Various books were scattered on the floor of the room, and half of the bookshelf was still empty. The desk was in a mess, surrounded by clumps of ink-stained waste paper.
All of this shows Zhou Wenhuai's bored and irritable mood.
The servant didn't dare to lie, but he felt a little regretful for bringing this news back. He quickly lowered his head, but still had to reply:
"Yes, Master, I saw with my own eyes Miss Ning and her two maids get on the carriage and head towards South Street."
That glance just now will give the servant nightmares for at least three days. If he had known he would encounter such a scene, he should have pretended to be blind and said he saw nothing and not come back to report it.
Zhou Wenhuai in front of him had a gloomy expression, his eyes were slightly dark, and the corners of his lips were slightly flattened, without a trace of smile at all.
His hair crown had already fallen to the side, his hair was messy, his face and hands were stained with a lot of ink, and the wide cuffs and hem of his clothes were even more "horrible".
After getting the answer again, Zhou Wenhuai laughed in anger, his eyes fell on the bookshelf beside him, and he started smashing it madly again.
He was not careful with his hands, and many books were torn in the process of pulling and throwing. Some were just a small corner, some were a page, and some were several pages, the degree of damage varied.
The servant who came to report the news regretted it even more. He couldn't stand such a depressing atmosphere and almost didn't dare to breathe. Then he made up his mind and ran out of the house, leaving Zhou Wenhuai alone in the room to go crazy.
Why?
How could a poor scholar like him snatch away all her favors!
It was obvious that she was not like this before, it was obvious that all those preferences belonged to him alone, it was obvious that she would only hold his hand, and it was obvious that he and Ning Wan were the most perfect match that others talked about.
Why, ever since that man surnamed Shen appeared, all these things that belonged to him were taken away, and he became unimportant and could not even exist in her life.
He was unwilling to be just her temporary playmate, nor was he willing to let Ning Wan just treat him as a playmate.
That poor scholar just saved her life. Why could he snatch away Ning Wan, who should have belonged to him?
If he hadn't taken Ning Wan to pray for blessings, how could the poor scholar have had the opportunity to get close to Ning Wan?
Because of this incident, he was beaten with fifty sticks in public by his father, and was even imprisoned for three days before his injuries healed.
After his injury healed, he was left with a scar. Although it was invisible, it made him feel extremely uncomfortable every time he took a shower.
What exactly is she still dissatisfied with? What is she still not satisfied with?
Does he have to give her his life as compensation before she can calm down and come back to him?
Or does she have to let go of the resentment in her heart only if he falls from the mountain once?
