He had interacted with Ning Yue a few times before, but he had never thought of investigating her. It was only when he accidentally heard Uncle Su say that there was a mysterious old man in Ning Yue’s family that he remembered to investigate.

Jiang Ying found out that Ning Yue was the eldest daughter of the General’s residence and his fiancée.

“Come in,” Jiang Ying said.

The door opened and they looked at each other with the same mixed feelings.

Jiang Ying felt complicated because Ning Yue had almost become his fiancée, and Ning Yue was the fiancé the emperor had once pointed out to her.

No wonder he felt that Jiang Ying looked a little familiar the first time he saw her. It turned out…

The door closed and Uncle Su retreated.

“Miss Ning.” Jiang Ying stood up and walked to Ning Yue. He couldn’t tell what he was feeling.

The first time he saw Ning Yue was at the banquet in the palace. However, his heart was no longer with her at that time. He had not even taken a closer look at her.

The second time he saw her was on the way to find Divine Doctor Gu with Xiaochi. Ning Yue saved Xiaochi and gave them water. She had done him a favor and made him admire her.

The third time was at the city gate. Ning Yue brought the first batch of people from the Ning Family Village to Linzhou.

To thank her for her kindness, he had helped her and asked her to use the bronze token to ask for a place to settle. He had even specially instructed the magistrate to place her here.

After all, although there were few people in Laifu Village, no one else could enter without his permission.

The fourth time he saw Ning Yue was on the way. Ning Yue looked so cute when she beat someone up!

His feelings for Ning Yue were a little different. He couldn’t tell what was different.

However, he attributed all these differences to the fact that when Ning Yue saved Xiaochi, he did not think that she was the woman who had been betrothed to him by the emperor. That was why he felt different when he found out later.

“Prince, I came to look for you this time because I have something to discuss with you. Also, please do me a favor.”

“What favor?” Jiang Ying asked.

“I want you to help me find First Aunt and Second Aunt’s family. I’ll write their names for you later,” Ning Yue said.

“I can help you look, but only if someone comes to Linzhou,” Jiang Ying said.

If the person did not come to Linzhou and was in the territory of another prince, he would not be able to reach out.

“Alright, we have an appointment with Eldest Aunt and Second Aunt in Linzhou, so they should be here,” Ning Yue said.

“What about the other thing?” Jiang asked.

“I want to cooperate with you regarding a business proposition, Prince,” Ning Yue said.

Uncle Su, who was carrying tea over, lost his balance and dropped the tea in his hand.

What did he hear? Someone actually wanted to do business with his poor master!

Oh God, was this going to change?

His master was very poor, so poor that he could not afford to do business. Yet, someone still dared to ask him about it!

Besides, they did not look like they had the money to do business.

The sound of shattering brought Ning Yue and Jiang Ying back to their senses.

“My hand slipped.” Uncle Su awkwardly picked up the pieces.

Jiang Ying looked at Ning Yue and asked, “What do you think, Miss Ning Yue?”

“I checked out the shops in town on my first day here. There are only snacks, a pharmacy, and a food store. I think we can innovate.”

Innovation? Jiang Ying was interested. “How?”

“Prince Jiang, you…”

“Just call me Jiang Ying.” Jiang Ying interrupted Ning Yue. He felt very strange when she called him Prince Jiang.

“Okay.” Ning Yue didn’t refuse.

“Although it’s autumn now, the weather is still very hot. Do you think that ice is easy to sell?” Ning Yue asked.

Ning Yue asked this because she had space. A small portion of the space’s warehouse was a freezer. Ice could be taken out from inside.

She planned to make some ice cubes first and let Jiang Ying know that she could make ice. She would take out those ice cubes from her space to replenish them later so that she would not arouse suspicion.

“It’s easy to sell. Why? Do you have a way to get ice?” Jiang Ying asked.
