The Zhan couple was set to begin their plotting, needing a concubine as an intermediary, ensuring no one would intervene between the male and female leads.
Chapter 46: Grand Wedding
A letter from Lumen Pavilion!
It had been a month since her last visit, and although she intended to explore it at night, Mi Yue unexpectedly sent a message.
This mechanism letter box was easy to open. Ning Wanwan eagerly opened it to find a letter inside. Unfolding it, she read:
“The Poison Saint is in Qian Nan, specifics to be investigated.”
Ning Wanwan was instantly excited. The Poison Saint is in Qian Nan, which means he is still alive. The legendary Ghost Wudu exists, and Si Zhan can be saved. She hoped Mi Yue and the others could quickly locate the Poison Saint’s exact whereabouts.

Xuyutang.
Old Madam Ning had Mama Chang bring out two wooden boxes – one large and one small – and place them on the table. She held Ning Wanwan’s hand, walked to the table, and opened the boxes. From the small box, she took out a thick stack of documents and placed them in Ning Wanwan’s hands.
“These are all the food estates under the Ning Marquis Mansion and in your name. There are various property deeds, contracts, land deeds, tea permits, medicine permits, salt permits, incense and medicine permits, as well as cash vouchers and silver notes. I originally wanted you to first take charge of the household affairs to get familiarized with them, but now there’s no time. Grandmother will include these in your dowry for you to manage slowly after entering the King of Yi’s residence. Most of these businesses are already managed by hired accountants, so you don’t need to worry too much.”
Ning Wanwan looked at the documents and said, “Grandmother, please keep these. I don’t want such a large dowry.”
Old Madam Ning smiled, “Silly girl, how many years do I have left? What use are these worldly possessions to me?”
Ning Wanwan’s eyes welled up as she embraced her grandmother, choking with emotion, “Grandmother, may you live to be a hundred years old.”
