Chen Dusheng only knew that the people sent by the governor's office had already set off, but he didn't know exactly when they would arrive.

Wang Yiyi has been sitting at this tea stall for two days, eager to see what's going on.

The tea stall owner was curious about her: "Young lady, are you waiting for someone? You can leave a message, I can pass it on for you."

Wang Yi smiled and shook her head: "I just think your tea is delicious."

No sooner had he finished speaking than the main gate of the county government office opened.

The magistrate and his family looked on with delight, eagerly awaiting their arrival.

Wang Yiyi knew her chance to watch the show had come.

Not long after, a large group of people arrived, led by a man who appeared to be around twenty years old.

Judging from the other person's attitude, Wang Yiyi roughly guessed that the person must be the governor's son, Fang Hening.

She picked up her teacup and looked over there with great interest.

Fang Hening reluctantly bowed; he would never have come if his father hadn't forced him.

Just as the group was about to enter, a woman suddenly barged in.

She cried out loudly, "Fang Lang, don't you want me and the child anymore?"

She was accompanied by two children, who were crying and calling for their father.

Fang Hening trembled, and with a look of heartache, he pulled the woman into his arms: "Li Niang, how could I not want you and the child?"

The Li family was stunned; they immediately understood what had happened.

Magistrate Li's face immediately darkened. Such matters could be discussed behind closed doors.

Doesn't he care about his reputation now, in front of so many people?

Li Xian'er screamed, "What's going on? Who is this woman?"

She couldn't believe it; she had never suffered such humiliation in her entire life.

As soon as she finished speaking, the woman named Li Niang knelt down at Li Xian'er's feet: "Sister, I know that I am of lowly status and not worthy of Fang Lang, but the child is innocent. Please give them a proper status."

Li Xian'er's vision blurred, and without thinking, she kicked the woman at her feet: "Who's your sister? What are you yelling about?"

Liniang collapsed to the ground, seemingly suffering from a very serious injury.

Fang Hening, standing to the side, glared angrily: "Li Xian'er, what are you doing?"

Li Xian'er shouted angrily, "How dare you ask me what I want? You already have a child, and you still have the nerve to ask me to marry you? You shameless bastard!"

Fang Hening's face also darkened: "If it weren't for your father begging me, I wouldn't even bother marrying you. I think we should just forget about this marriage."

After saying this, he carefully helped Liniang up and left with the child in full view of everyone.

Magistrate Li was dumbfounded and instinctively went to call out to Fang Hening.

Li Xian'er refused to comply and grabbed Magistrate Li, crying and making a scene.

There were too many onlookers, so Magistrate Li had no choice but to pull the person inside and close the door.

After finishing the last cup of tea, Wang Yiyi returned home in a good mood, knowing that the marriage was unlikely to happen.

This commotion has made the governor lose face, and he probably won't give Magistrate Li a pleasant look.

This actress, Li Niang, is quite good at acting.

Wang Yi didn't have anyone keep an eye on things after that, and focused on preparing for her trip to the Northwest.

This time, multiple merchant guilds sent out caravans together, totaling over a hundred people.

There were many things to consider along the way, but fortunately Zheng Xingtou decided to go along, so the hundred people finally had a leader.

The day of departure finally arrived. Everyone gathered outside the city, drank farewell wine, and the caravan set off.

Daya couldn't help but worry: "I wonder how Second Sister fared on this trip?"

"Big sister, don't worry," Wang Yiyi said dryly to comfort her.

When my second sister left, she gave her a bulletproof vest, weapons for self-defense, and emergency medicine.

Logically speaking, she had considered everything, but like Da Ya, she still couldn't let go of some things.

Only after hundreds of people had disappeared into the horizon did Wang Yiyi lead the remaining people back.

As soon as I arrived at the shop, I saw Xie San sitting inside, looking extremely anxious.

Wang Yiyi's expression hardened: "Is there any news?"

Xie San lowered his voice: "Yes, yes, but this matter is more complicated than we imagined. Magistrate Li seems to be involved. The general has already asked me to send a message to Danzhou."

Wang Yi was stunned; she hadn't expected it to be a case of collusion between officials and bandits.

However, upon closer examination, everything makes sense.

The bandits had been active for years without incident, which led to Magistrate Li's hesitant attitude.

The thought that she had foolishly gone to the county magistrate to tell him about it made her sweat.

Fortunately, the county magistrate has been preoccupied with his daughter's marriage these past few days.

She was silent for a moment before speaking, "I will pretend I don't know anything about this."

Xie San nodded: "The general also means the same thing. He has also reported this matter to the capital. The governor dares not show favoritism. Miss Wang, just wait patiently."

Wang Yiyi didn't wait a few days before hearing that the prefectural government had sent people to arrest Magistrate Li, and that the gang of bandits had also been wiped out.

Wang Yiyi's status in the Chamber of Commerce rose significantly.

Three months later, the caravan that had gone to the Northwest finally returned.

They brought back a lot of jade from Northwest China, and not one was missing.

Another year later, Shixian County became the largest jade transit station in Danzhou.

Three years later, Shixian County had become the largest jade city in the country.

Wang Yiyi has become a leading jade merchant, and Yuzhen Pavilion has branches all over the country.

Twenty years later, she had become a legendary businesswoman in the Great Qi Dynasty, with wealth comparable to that of a nation.

At the same time, news came that all the zombies on Blue Star had been cleared out, and she could return to Blue Star.

Even after she left, legends about her continued to circulate in the Great Qi.
