"Miss Song."
Seeing Mrs. Ning coming towards her, Song Qianning raised her eyebrows: "Madam Ning, why did you suddenly have time to come to my place?"
As soon as Ning came in, she went straight to Song Qianning and took her arm. Her face was full of undisguised eagerness and intimacy: "Miss Song, it's been a long time since we last met. I've been thinking about you so much."
Seeing Ning's smile, Song Qianning thought of how she changed her expression several times at the promotion banquet and complained secretly.
After not seeing her for a while, Ning's face-changing skills have improved a lot.
Song Qianning didn't know what Ning was here for, but she could guess that the other party wouldn't be so idle as to come looking for her for no reason.
After complaining a few words in her heart, Song Qianning smiled and began to flatter Ning: "Mrs. Ning's arrival really makes my little place shine."
"Oh, Miss Song has such a sweet mouth. It makes people like her just by listening to it."
After sitting down, Ning pulled Song Qianning aside and gave her a lot of polite compliments, praising her from head to toe.
While being polite, Ning was also waiting for Song Qianning to ask her purpose of coming.
As a result, after waiting for almost half a quarter of an hour and chatting until her mouth was almost dry, she still didn't get the other party to ask.
Ning couldn't wait any longer and had to take the initiative to speak: "Actually, I came here today mainly to thank Miss Song."
"Thank you?" Song Qianning's eyes widened, as if she was extremely puzzled. "Why are you thanking me for no reason, Madam Ning?"
"Alas, I've also heard about what happened outside recently. Thanks to your help, Miss Song, those people can live in peace." She had a fake look of gratitude on her face, but she was unaware of it.
"You are the benefactor of the people. My master and I remember what you have done."
After praising Song Qianning, Ning smiled and said, "So I came here today, not only to thank Miss Song, but also to reward her."
Tsk, it sounded like the truth. Song Qianning secretly rolled her eyes and deliberately imitated Ning's tone, saying righteously, "Madam Ning, there's no need to be polite with me. Recently, due to the tax issue, the people on the street have been suffering. I couldn't bear to see it, so I helped them. There's no need for reward."
"Alas, the people are the responsibility of the prefect. Unfortunately, the prefect can't help them and can't control this matter, so I have to take action."
Afterwards, Song Qianning seemed to realize something was wrong and added to Mrs. Ning: "Don't worry, Madam Ning, I definitely don't mean to say that the prefect is useless."
"After all, the prefect has so many things to take care of every day. It's only natural that he doesn't have time to take care of the people. I'm just an ordinary citizen like them. As a citizen of the prefect's jurisdiction, it's only natural that I can help share his worries."
Her words revealed one meaning: Ning Qiuze, the prefect, was not competent enough, which forced her, an ordinary citizen, to help other people.
Even an ordinary citizen like her could do it, but Ning Qiuze, the prefect, could not do it.
Hearing the hidden meaning in her words, Ning almost couldn't maintain the smile on her face.
But Song Qianning looked sincere and didn't say directly that Ning Qiuze was useless, so he couldn't refute it even if he wanted to.
No matter how angry Ning was, she couldn't show it, otherwise she would be admitting it.
Therefore, Ning not only had to suppress her dissatisfaction and pretend that she didn't hear anything, but also had to continue speaking along with what she said.
"Miss Song is right. It's the government's mistakes that have caused the people to be unable to fill their stomachs."
"It seems that Madam Ning and I have the same idea."
"Yes, yes." Ning forced a smile. "Miss Song is not only a kind person, but also kind-hearted. She is willing to help others. No wonder people outside say that Miss Song is a good person."
"I'm just doing what I can for the people. I can't say I'm a good person." Song Qianning said modestly.
Seeing her like this, Ning became even more angry and cursed her as a bitch in her heart.
Only when I recalled the purpose of my visit today did I suppress the anger in my heart.
Fearing that Song Qianning would continue, Ning spoke before her: "Now the people can fill their stomachs, all thanks to the seeds Miss Song gave them that day."
Just catching a glimpse of Ning's rolling eyes, Song Qianning instantly guessed that Ning came today for the seeds.
No wonder he was so enthusiastic when he showed up today in casual clothes.
When the topic turned to seeds, Ning was also making her own calculations in her mind.
The story of the "magic seeds" has been widely circulated in recent days, and almost everyone on the street knows that there are seeds that can germinate overnight.
And those magical seeds that could germinate overnight were all given to the people by Song Qianning.
When Ning first heard about this, she was completely skeptical. How could there be seeds that could sprout overnight? Those people must have spread it around.
It wasn't until he confirmed that the news was all true that Ning's thoughts changed.
I want to witness the magical seeds and then collect them all.
Those seeds will grow in a few days. If you can collect all the seeds and then grow them and sell them to vegetable vendors, you can definitely get a high price.
It was also for this reason that he came specifically to look for Song Qianning.
Completely unaware that Song Qianning had seen through her thoughts, Ning sighed, "In all my life, this is the first time I've heard of seeds that can grow in just a few days. I wish I could see it with my own eyes."
Pretending not to understand Ning's intention, Song Qianning nodded in agreement, "Those seeds are indeed magical. Even I was shocked when I first saw them. But besides the magic of the seeds, it must also be the sincerity of those people that moved the heavens."
Ning just wanted to know where the seeds came from, but she didn't want to hear Song Qianning praise those seeds.
Suppressing her impatience, Ning continued to echo her sentiments, "Miss Song is right. If I hadn't heard it with my own ears, I wouldn't have believed it."
After sighing in a seemingly formal manner, Ning's tone turned curious again: "I wonder where Miss Song got these seeds from. They are so magical."
"It sprouted overnight and grew in a few days. I've never seen such a wonder in my life. I'm really curious. Miss Song, could you please talk to me a little more to ease my curiosity?"
While asking questions, Ning's attention was always on Song Qianning, not missing any of her expressions.
Curiosity is fake, wanting seeds is real.
As if she hadn't noticed Ning's intention, Song Qianning didn't show any flaws on her face as she continued, "Those seeds were all obtained from the mountains in my hometown."
Hearing Song Qianning's words, Ning's eyes lit up, and she even held her breath for a moment, her face filled with uncontrollable excitement.
It’s time to speak. Song Qianning is finally going to speak.
Even though Ning tried to appear calm, she couldn't help but reveal something in her voice: "Oh? Which mountain did Miss Song find those seeds from?"
