The Xu family's influence was extensive, extending to almost every county in Anqing Prefecture.
Apart from the direct lineage, which remained firmly in Anqing Prefecture, the rest of the family members were assigned to other places to avoid internal strife within the family.
Han Erniang's maternal uncle was the third master of the Xu family.
On the day they arrived in Anqing Prefecture, it happened to be the time when the Xu family was splitting up, and the third master of the Xu family was arranged to stay in a villa near Guangling County.
By sheer coincidence, Zhen Wanwan and Han Erniang also ended up here.
This gave the two the opportunity to reunite.
Originally, the Xu family intended to come and join in the fun at the department store that day, but unexpectedly, someone in the clan passed on a message, asking the clan members to go to the ancestral home for a meeting.
Han Erniang went to live with her uncle's family. Since the Xu family was going on a long trip, she couldn't go out alone.
"This is Lady Zhen! I traveled with her by boat from Songjiang Prefecture to Anqing Prefecture."
“Madam Zhen, this is my uncle’s second daughter-in-law. She currently lives in the Xu family’s villa, which is three kilometers outside the city.”
Zhen Wanwan had heard her second brother mention the Xu Family Manor before; he said that the manor covered an area larger than Guangling County.
They were also the wealthiest family in Guangling County, with countless servants and tenants. Relying on their connection to the Xu family, they could be considered local tyrants of Guangling County.
Han Erniang introduced the two, and after exchanging greetings, they began to talk.
The second wife of the Xu family was named Zhao Yunqing, and her family was in the rice and grain business.
She learned business skills from her father from a young age, is very good at interpersonal communication, and is also very insightful.
She believed she understood her cousin's character.
If Zhen Wanwan's status were lower than hers, or even equal to hers, given her personality, she would never speak to Zhen Wanwan politely.
"Oh, it's you, Miss Zhen! I heard the department store has some new products, so you came here today specifically to take a look, right?"
Although there was some unpleasantness between Zhen Wanwan and Han Erniang, one cannot hit a smiling face, so she greeted Zhao Shi with a smile.
"The Spring Festival is coming soon, so I came here to buy some New Year's goods."
After exchanging a few polite words, Han Erniang could only maintain an awkward but polite smile to avoid an awkward silence.
"Wife! Young master is about to finish school, we need to hurry over."
Granny Zhang whispered a reminder to Zhen Wanwan, her voice low but still audible to the others.
Zhao's eyes flickered, and she said with a smile, "Since Madam Zhen is busy, we'll keep you company!"
As she spoke, she tugged at Han Erniang's hand and whispered, "Cousin, didn't you say that Ruzhu's diapers are running out? Let's hurry upstairs and browse around. I also want to buy a few packs for my daughter!"
Seeing that the two were about to enter the building, Zhen Wanwan kindly reminded them: "Second Madam Xu, I just heard the housekeeper on the third floor mention that many families have come to buy New Year's goods these days, especially things for children. The stock is running low. If you need them regularly, you can stock up more."
Good things sell well. Although she had plenty of stock, she knew about the art of scarcity marketing.
Now that she'd run into Han Erniang, she was naturally going to take advantage of her to earn more money for herself.
Zhang Qiaozui had been silently observing what was happening outside. Upon hearing Zhen Wanwan's words, she immediately called Wang Basan upstairs to inform the housekeeper.
They were just waiting for the two to enter the house before unleashing all their marketing skills.
"Oh? Really! Then I'll have to buy a lot this time!"
After saying that, the two hurried upstairs, looking for things in the department store, especially diapers and sanitary napkins.
Once they used it, they couldn't leave.
In this freezing weather, if they get robbed of everything, they'll have to go back to the hard life they had before.
Not only do you suffer, but your child is also more susceptible to catching a cold.
"Ding! Task 1 issued: Gain the male lead's favor."
Zhen Wanwan paused after taking a step, then walked towards the academy as if nothing had happened.
A surge of emotion welled up inside me; it had arrived!
Gaining the male lead's favor was like needles piercing her heart.
Her worst fears came true.
Now she is not only a mother of two, but also engaged.
Could it be that Tmall Genie wants her to do something a little wild?
Zhen Wanwan was torn, torn between the temptation of money and her moral bottom line.
Despite her best efforts to hold back, Zhen Wanwan couldn't help but ask in her mind, "Old Cat! Who is this male lead?"
"Sizzle... You'll see when you get back!"
Zhen Wanwan: ?
Hearing Tmall Genie say that made her even more curious.
After receiving Yuan Huizhou, they rushed home without stopping.
The three people in the car weren't curious about this; they just assumed she missed her child.
Zhenfu stopped the carriage at the residence of Old Lady Li and the others. Before she could get off, she saw Huzi shouting loudly.
"Auntie! Uncle! Grandpa and Grandma have all gone to your room!"
Although everyone was puzzled, seeing that Hu Zi was there unharmed, they understood that nothing had happened at home.
"Second Brother! Drive the carriage over there!"
"Okay!"
Zhenfu picked up Huzi and placed him next to her, then drove the carriage towards the end of the village.
The villagers pointed and whispered among themselves, seemingly discussing something.
However, Zhen Wanwan ignored it. She had a vague guess in her heart that the male lead was about to appear in front of her.
They arrived at the courtyard in no time, and Zhen Wanwan carried Yuan Huizhou off the carriage.
"You're really here!"
Suddenly, a dark figure rushed out of the house and ran towards Zhen Wanwan without saying a word.
Zhen Wanwan's first reaction was to block the person from damaging Yuan Huizhou.
After everyone had stopped, Zhen Wanwan could finally see what the person looked like.
The boy was about seven or eight years old. Although he was young, just by looking at him now, one could guess that he would grow up to be an exceptionally handsome man.
With his fox-like eyes, a piece of information suddenly appeared in Zhen Wanwan's mind.
Xiao Yizhi is still the orphan of the Great General Protector of the Nation. He has been exceptionally intelligent since childhood, and his strategies and martial arts are comparable to his father's. He is the emperor's right-hand man.
Although he inherited his father's position as one of the top generals in the court, his appearance was not as rugged as that of military generals; instead, he was gentle and affectionate.
It captured the hearts of most of the noble ladies in Kyoto, but unfortunately, they didn't like ordinary women and preferred the phoenix flower, which grows among the common people.
He even broke off his engagement with his childhood sweetheart just to be with her, making all the women in the world envious.
Looking at the little pudding in front of her, Zhen Wanwan couldn't help but connect it with the words in her mind.
Could she have transmigrated into a book?!
Just as she thought of this, the words that had just surfaced rushed into her head all at once.
Scenes she had never seen before gradually appeared before her eyes.
She even saw things from God's perspective that the male and female protagonists in the book never knew.
The more she looked at it, the more surprised she became; she never expected to see her own reflection in it.
