A Military Doctor Became a Stepmom in Ancient Times

Chapter 70: Old Acquaintance

When the Ning family was about to finish their meal, a voice came from outside. "Sister! Someone has sent something over." When Ning Yue heard this, she put down her bowl and chopsticks and walked out.

Uncle Su was pulling a cart full of items. "Miss Ning, this is for the children."

"Help me put it in the storeroom," Ning Yue said.

Then, the Ning family watched as Uncle Su brought a few servants to pack the items into the storeroom.

"Miss Ning, everything has been arranged. We'll go back now. Master said to leave this carriage with you for now. He'll come and get it when he needs it," Uncle Su said.

!!
"Thank your master for me," Ning Yue said.

The carriage was only placed here to facilitate their travel. The two children would be studying in the town in the future. Jiang Ying was just looking for a reason to give the carriage to the two children.

She had mixed feelings. Jiang Ying already knew that these two children were his. In the future, there would be no shortage of these gifts. This would definitely arouse the suspicion of the Ning family. She should find an opportunity to make things clear to them.

"Yueyue." Madam He pulled Ning Yue aside and asked softly, "Let me ask you, what does Young Master Jiang mean by this? This gift is too expensive! Don't tell me he's taken a liking to you?"

"Mom, what are you thinking about? There's no such thing. I've been working with Young Master Jiang to extract oil recently. This is a thank-you gift from him."

"Is that so?" Madam He looked at Ning Yue in confusion. She had a nagging feeling that things were not as simple as they seemed.

"It's true, Mom. What are you thinking? Let's go. Let's go pack our things. I have to go to town to buy something later."

With that, Ning Yue pulled Madam He and a few other aunties out to the streets to buy things.

"Mom and Aunties, what do you want to buy?"

"I was planning to buy some daily necessities, but I thought that since your aunts are all at home, we might as well go out on the streets together. After that desertion a few days ago, it wasn't easy for us to settle down. It's good for us to relax."

"Alright, then you guys go first. I want to buy some medicine for Master. I also want to buy some dried fermentation starter for brewing wine. Wait for me at the entrance of the street when I'm done," Ning Yue said with a smile.

"Yueyue, you know how to brew wine?" Madam He asked.

"A little. I was just about to go back and try it out to see if I can brew it. If I can, this is also a skill our family can use." Ning Yue smiled and turned to run.

"This child does whatever she thinks of. Isn't she afraid of wasting money?" Madam He smiled dotingly.

"Oh, don't worry about it. It's all because of Yueyue that we're alive. She's so lucky. Making wine won't be a problem for her," Madam Qu said with a smile.

"Sigh, this child." Madam He shook her head and went shopping with Madam Qu and the others.

After Ning Yue left, she went to the jewelry shop to take a look at the jewelry there.

"Shopkeeper, how much is this peacock pendant?" Ning Yue took a liking to a pendant.

"Miss, you have good taste. This pendant is the treasure of our shop. It's a little expensive, so..." The shopkeeper was about to tell Ning Yue the price when a voice interrupted them.
