“Just stir-fry the sweet potato seedlings like vegetables. They’re delicious,” Ning Yue said.

“Really? I’ll get the servants in the residence to cook for me when I get back,” Jiang Ying said happily.

Actually, there were sweet potato seedlings in Ning Yue’s space, but she did not want to use them to arouse Jiang Ying’s suspicion. She would try them when he returned to the residence.

“Actually, there are many ways to eat sweet potatoes. When they mature, you can try eating them raw, boil them with water, or roast them with fire. You can also use them to cook with other dishes. Every way is not bad.”

“Moreover, the most important thing is that sweet potatoes can stave off hunger. The bigger ones will make you full after eating half a piece.”

Ning Yue recalled the sweet potatoes she had seen in the market in her previous life. The largest was the size of a human head. Even eating half of such a big sweet potato was especially filling, let alone one.

Hearing Ning Yue’s words, Jiang Ying was even happier. With sweet potatoes, he was not afraid that the army would starve.

“Yueyue, you’re really my lucky star!” Jiang Ying said to Ning Yue with a smile.

“By the way, Yueyue, it’s Grandmother’s birthday in a few days. She should return to the palace. After Grandmother’s birthday, we can return to Laifu Village,” Jiang Ying said happily.

“Alright, then let’s go back together for the Empress Dowager’s birthday,” Ning Yue said.

Ning Yue said a few words and returned to her room.

After returning to her room, Ning Yue kept thinking about the scene of her arrival at the An family a few days ago.

In the past few days, the news of the An family being robbed seemed to have grown wings. Everyone in the capital knew.

Everyone was commenting on whether the An family had offended some expert as their plaque had been stolen.

Ning Yue did not care how the people in the capital criticized the An family. What she cared about was the An family’s study.

What was in there? Why was it so well protected?

What had the An family placed in the study?

The flashlight couldn’t be shined in.

She couldn’t go at night, but what about during the day?

At the thought of this, Ning Yue made up her mind to visit the An family during the day.

Her grandmother planned to return to the General’s Residence. Perhaps she could visit in her grandmother’s name.

At the thought of this, Ning Yue fell asleep in peace.

The next morning, Ning Yue woke up early. After having breakfast with everyone, she pulled An Ning into her room to chat.

“Grandmother, I heard that the An family was robbed. I want to take a look,” Ning Yue said.

An Ning wanted to refuse, but when she saw Ning Yue’s longing eyes, she agreed.

“The An family is no longer the same as before. There might be dangers inside that we don’t know about. You have to bring Prince Jiang along if you want to go. Otherwise, I won’t agree,” An Ning said.

That’s right! Why hadn’t she thought of Jiang Ying? If she had known earlier, she would have just gone with him.

“Grandmother, I understand. I’ll go look for Jiang Ying now. Grandmother, you have to rest well.”

With that, Ning Yue quickly left to look for Jiang Ying.

“Why are you going to the An family? The An family has been very chaotic these past two days,” Jiang Ying said.

“It’s precisely because of the chaos that I want to take a look. I heard that almost every place in the An family has been robbed, and only the study is intact.”

“I’d like to see which elegant thief did this. While I’m at it, I’d like to see that thief’s work.”

Ning Yue said this calmly.

She had never admitted to Jiang Ying about the incident at the General’s Residence last time. She would never admit to it this time.

“Why do you have to go?” Jiang Ying asked, worried about Ning Yue.

“Why are you asking so many questions? I’m just asking if you want to come with me. If you don’t, I’ll go myself,” Ning Yue said impatiently.

“Alright, alright, alright. We’ll go now.” With that, Jiang Ying left.

When the two of them arrived at the An family, Marquis An pulled Jiang Ying along and cried non-stop, as if he had seen his savior.

“Prince! Look at how pitiful I am. I’m already old, but I actually encountered such a thing. My salary is not high to begin with. It wasn’t easy for me to save up a little, but my things were stolen by this damned thief.”

“Prince, tell me how I should live!” An Bohou cried louder and louder.

At the side, Ning Yue almost laughed out loud. Marquis An actually called his salary a small sum of money.

Heavens, in the entire world, only the emperor’s treasury could compare to the Marquis of An’s assets.

Ning Yue was suddenly very curious about where Marquis An’s money came from.

He only had a noble title and no official position. There was no way he could be greedy.
