Sitting in the carriage on the way to Lanting Money House, Ning Miao opened the box and took a look.

Although she was mentally prepared that the amount of silver inside could not be small, she was still shocked when she saw it.

There was a box full of silver ingots, with a layer of gold leaves at the bottom.

Ning Miao closed the lid of the box and sighed.

How could she not understand Yan Mobai's thoughts?

Yesterday she found out that Yan Changjing was a useless man and a scumbag. Giving her so much gold and silver today was nothing more than creating an opportunity for her to run away with the money.

This guy was really generous in letting her leave the Marquis' Mansion.

What should we do now?

Originally, she was thinking that like Yan Changjing, she didn't leave because she was greedy for fame and fortune. Now that she has been given enormous wealth, if she doesn't leave, it would be really suspicious.

Thinking about countermeasures in her mind, she lifted a corner of the curtain and looked out. She saw Wenchun Temple not far away. She narrowed her eyes and asked the driver in front: "Is that a temple?"

She was very familiar with the capital, but she had to pretend to be a newcomer from Jiangnan.

"Madam Ning, it's Wenchun Temple," the coachman replied.

"Please stop there for a moment. I'll go burn some incense."

"Okay, Madam Ning."

Wenchun Temple is the only temple in the capital city. It is built in a prosperous area and the temple is not big.

Ning Miao put on a veil hat, got out of the car holding the money box, and slowly walked into the temple.

Today is not the first or fifteenth day of the lunar month, so there are few people burning incense.

After waiting in line outside the Buddhist temple for a while, it was her turn.

When she came to the Buddha statue, she took off her veil and placed it and the money box next to the cushion on the ground. She first took a stick of incense from the shrine, lit it, and inserted it in the incense burner, then knelt down next to the cushion.

After bowing three times devoutly, put your hands together and pray quietly.

"Please, Bodhisattva, bless me to have a place to stay in the Marquis' Mansion, bless me to avenge my blood feud, and bless that traitor Li Li to die a horrible death!"

Li Li is the name of King Kang.

She knew that Yan Mobai would definitely send someone to follow her when she went out this time.

Holding her breath and concentrating, she could sense that in addition to the breath of the person waiting to burn incense outside the hall, there was also the breath of another person on the rubble above her head.

Yes, that was the person she was talking to.

Since the reason of his undying love for Yan Changjing was no longer valid, nor was the reason of his pursuit of wealth and glory, and he had to stay in the Marquis' Mansion, he could only find a new reason.

Yan Mobai is King Ning's man and is an enemy of King Kang. She has a blood feud with King Kang. As a weak woman with no one to rely on and unable to take revenge, she has to come to the Marquis' Mansion, one to find a place to stay, and the other to take advantage of Yan Mobai's power to take revenge.

Quite reasonable.

After leaving Wenchun Temple, Ning Miao took a car to Lanting Money House.

Although the money shop sees gold and silver transactions every day, it is rare to store such a large box at once, and the shopkeeper was very polite to Ning Miao.

"I'm here to keep it for Lord Yan." Ning Miao handed Yan Mobai's private seal to the other party.

Hearing that it was Yan Mobai, the shopkeeper did not dare to be negligent and took the private seal with both hands.

As he looked at the private seal carefully, Ning Miao's eyes moved and he asked, "With this private seal, can I also help Lord Yan withdraw money? Do all banks recognize private seals?"

The shopkeeper raised his eyes and looked at her with a complicated look.

He didn't answer her question, but just said, "Please wait a moment, young lady," and went into the inner room.

When he came out again, he was followed by two burly men.

"This private seal is fake. We suspect that you are not here to deposit money. You are deliberately using this box of gold and silver to confuse us and extract information. You want to take away all the money that Master Yan deposited with us if we can't recognize that the private seal is fake, right? You even want to go to other banks to defraud money, right?"

After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he signaled to the two men: "Capture the man first."

Finally, he instructed the bank waiter, "Go to the Yongchang Marquis's Mansion and inform Lord Yan about this."

The waiter went out, and two big men came forward to capture Ning Miao.

Ning Miao naturally refused.

"No, I'm not. I'm just here to deposit money. The private seal was given to me by Lord Yan himself. How could it be fake?"

"Then please go into the inner room and wait for a moment, young lady!" The shopkeeper said in a firm tone.

Ning Miao picked up the money box and was about to run away when she was caught by two big men. She raised the box to hit the other men, who then responded rudely. One of them kicked her in the calf and the other threw her over their shoulders.

"Still want to run!" Two big men pressed her to the ground.

One of her sleeves was torn, her hair was askew, and her face was pressed to the ground, covered in dust.

In a direction that the two of them couldn't see, Ning Miao's lips curled up slightly, almost imperceptibly.

-

Yan Mobai followed the bank owner into the side room and saw a woman sitting on the floor in the corner with her knees hugged and her head buried in them. It was unclear whether she was asleep or crying.

Perhaps hearing footsteps, the woman slowly raised her head.

Her hair was crooked, messy and her face was covered with dust. She looked like a little cat with red eyes, or like a little rabbit that had been bullied.

The woman stared at him blankly, as if a little dazed. After she reacted, her eyes lit up and she stood up suddenly. However, because of the pain somewhere, she frowned and sat back down.

"Second Young Master." She called him in a hoarse voice.

"What's going on?" Yan Mobai tilted his head, his voice cold and emotionless.

He was asking the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper was stunned. Hadn't he already asked the waiter to explain the matter?

"Why are people like this?" Yan Mobai spoke again.

"She..." The shopkeeper was about to explain, but suddenly realized: "Does the master know her?"

"Sister-in-law." Yan Mobai uttered these two words in a calm voice.

The shopkeeper's face changed drastically.

Is this woman the sister-in-law of this Jade-faced Yama?

The shopkeeper had never expected this to happen and he suddenly felt unwell.

"So...she really came here to deposit money for Master Yan? But...but the Master's private seal she used was fake."

"Is it fake?" Yan Mobai seemed to have just learned about this: "Maybe I gave the wrong one. To prevent it from being stolen, I have several fake ones."

Shopkeeper: “…”

Ning Miao just watched him act quietly.

"It turned out to be a misunderstanding!" The shopkeeper immediately smiled and came over to help Ning Miao: "I'm really sorry, madam, Lord Yan is a big customer of our bank, and we are also afraid of being defrauded by bad guys. Please forgive us, madam."

Ning Miao stood up with difficulty under his support, muttering aggrievedly: "I told you, it was given to me by Lord Yan himself."

"But the private seal is fake, and my wife hasn't deposited the money yet, but she asked about withdrawing it. She also asked if the private seal can be withdrawn in all banks. That's why I was too suspicious."

"This is my first time in a money shop, and I want to ask about your transaction process." Ning Miao's eyes were red, and he looked innocent and pitiful.

The shopkeeper had no choice but to apologize: "I was too worried. I'm really sorry."

"So, that's why you beat him like this?" Yan Mobai asked, his emotions unclear.
