The two old foxes went back and forth, vying to get to the bottom of things. After getting what they wanted to know, they drank the wine, the beauty lost her life, and only the potted plant was splattered with blood.
Lin Zhaozhao never expected that her impulsive attempt to investigate Lin Jinxiu would lead her to uncover the secret affair between Ye Pu and Ning Shiwen.
Using the people as a raft to plunder their wealth, just as Yang Yang said, all crows under heaven are black. Ning Shiwen seems to have properly settled the disaster victims, but in reality, he has left himself a backup plan. In this way, even if problems are found later, he can still blame it on natural disasters and man-made calamities.
After all, who would have thought that Ning Shiwen, who wholeheartedly cared about people's livelihood and worked tirelessly for them, was actually a greedy and self-serving person who disregarded the people's welfare?
Brilliant! A strategic retreat to advance, a borrowed knife to kill, and then a cover-up.
Wow, Ning Shiwen really managed to turn things around.

Qin Yi's words touched Ning Wanqiu deeply. The thought that Xu Zhixing would treat her that way in the future filled her with joy, and even her dislike for Lin Jinxiu lessened somewhat.
Lin Jinxiu was used to Ning Wanqiu's unpredictable temper. With an opportunity presented to her and Ning Wanqiu in a good mood, she offered a plan: "Miss, I have a plan regarding Lin Zhaozhao."
Ning Wanqiu gave her a meaningful look and said calmly, "Tell me about it."
"It's actually quite simple to make Lin Zhaozhao submit. Just seize her weakness, which is the Lin family..." Lin Jinxiu spoke confidently, eager to try. Ning Wanqiu was pleased and smiled knowingly, "In that case, I'll leave this matter to you."
"Me???" Lin Jinxiu never expected this to happen to her; she had only intended to watch from the sidelines.
"What, you're unwilling?" Ning Wanqiu's smile deepened, but it didn't reach her eyes. Her expression was gloomy, making Lin Jinxiu vaguely feel that things seemed to be getting out of control.
"I am willing."
Before long, the year was drawing to a close. Prices in Huichun rose even more sharply, and people were short of food and clothing, which caused several major riots. Clothing stores, grain stores, and butcher shops were looted. It was only after the government intervened, distributing clothes and food and punishing the ringleaders that things stabilized.
The city was in chaos, and it was cold, so the Lin family locked their doors and stayed home to warm themselves by the fire, avoiding going out unless absolutely necessary, which saved them a lot of trouble.
This day is the Little New Year.
Grandma Lin, Lin Fusheng, Li Xiujuan, and Lin Yangyang got up early to prepare for three things: first, it was Ping An's 100-day celebration; second, it was the first Little New Year their family had celebrated since Lin Zhaozhao got married, a time for family reunion; and third, it was Yang Yuan's birthday.
Because of the forced lockdown due to the Spring Festival, everything was kept simple. Even so, the Lin family still tried their best to make the meal as lavish as possible.
When Lin Zhaozhao woke up and washed up, she saw a table full of delicious food and Ping An and Yang Yuan looking brand new. The two little ones were wearing new clothes specially sewn by Grandma Lin. They were bright red and festive, with dense stitches on the embroidered patterns, showing that a lot of thought had been put into them.
Bai Riping was all smiles and laughter. Yang Yuan was stunned. After he figured it out, his eyes lit up and he laughed like an ordinary child. Several adults pinched his cheeks until they turned red, but he didn't stop them.
They're so well-behaved it's heartbreaking.
