Chapter 33: Theft

Yes......

Mu Wanqiu opened her eyes abruptly and sat up.

Looking at the slightly pale window in confusion, it took a while for her to remember something, and she touched into her arms in a panic, Wei's perfumery was still there, and she calmed down a little.

Sitting there and thinking for a while, it didn't seem to be a nightmare, just now she was clearly awakened by something, the strong feeling of uneasiness was still there, and her heart was still beating suddenly.

Her eyes swept around, the things she bought yesterday were all there, her eyes returned to the window, and her body couldn't help but shock, "When was this curtain half opened?" ”

She clearly remembered that Mo Xue had drawn the curtains tightly before going to bed last night.

His hand subconsciously touched the bottom of the pillow, and Mu Wanqiu suddenly felt as if he had been drained of blood, and his face became pale.

The one million taels of silver ticket she hid under her pillow last night was gone!

After sitting for a long time, Mu Wanqiu took a breath and forced down a fluttering heart, she knelt down and climbed to the window, pushed it gently, squeaked, the window was pushed open, a cool breeze came to her face, and Mu Wanqiu suddenly sobered up a lot.

Adjusted her posture, she sat in front of the window, a cold crescent moon hung pale on the treetops, distant mountains and trees, thatched huts and low walls, everything was hazy and quiet, only a habit of the cool breeze on her face made her more and more sober, gradually, the sparse stars fell in the sky one by one, a high-pitched rooster crow, let Mu Wanqiu come back to her senses, she slammed the window shut, brushed the ground and closed the curtains.

Glancing at Mo Xue, who was flushed from sleep, and groaned slightly, Mu Wanqiu went down to the ground and checked it out.

The things I bought yesterday were the same, and even the dozen taels of silver in my pocket were still there, and it was obvious that the other party was here for the million taels of silver.

His eyes fell on the fish-shaped jade pendant that Li Jun gave him yesterday, Mu Wanqiu smiled bitterly, "I stole the silver, but I didn't kill me, I was not afraid that I would report to the official to investigate, this is trying to force me to turn back......" She gritted her teeth fiercely, "It's a pity, no matter how difficult and bitter this life is, I, Mu Wanqiu, will never go to the days under the fence, and I will not recognize anyone as the master!" ”

"Mo Xue ......" turned around, and Mu Wanqiu shouted at the kang.

Ignorant and confused, she opened her eyes and looked around.

Seeing Mu Wanqiu standing on the ground at a glance, she sat up, "The slave should die, the slave should die, she overslept......" She said while jumping on her shoes and going to the ground, "The slave and maid are going to fetch water......"

"Don't blame yourself, you fell for the incense ......" Mu Wanqiu's voice was faint.

"Mixiang ......" stepped on her shoes, Mo Xue was stupid, she heard her father say that only when you live in a black store will you have Mixiang.

It took a long time for Mo Xue to come back to her senses, put on her shoes in a panic, and she sniffed hard, "How come, Miss picked the biggest inn in this town, and they all say that it has the best reputation here, how can it be a black shop?" ”

Her father said that only the kind of carriage shop with a mix of fish and dragons is easy to be a black shop.

"Don't smell it, I've already let the aroma out." Mu Wanqiu not only put on her clothes slowly.

Mo Xue nodded mechanically, stunned for a moment, and then pounced on the table to grab her new clothes, "Miss, have we ......lost our new clothes?"

"The clothes are all ......"

"Then ......" Mo Xue looked at Mu Wanqiu stupidly, "What did we lose?" ”

"One million taels of silver...... Mu Wanqiu didn't raise her head, and continued to wear clothes.

“…… Oh, my God! A terrible scream pierced the silent inn.

Mu Wanqiu was shocked, she had never found that a little person as thin as Mo Xue could make such a terrible sound, and looked up at Mo Xue, she was looking at her with big eyes like copper bells.

Hearing a burst of messy footsteps outside the door, Mu Wanqiu walked quickly to the door.

"Guest, what's wrong with you?" As soon as Mu Wanqiu opened the door, he was meeting the shopkeeper who was about to knock on the door, he leaned over hard, tiptoed his head and looked in, "...... What happened? ”

"It's okay...... Mu Wanqiu held the door in his hand and didn't let him in, "...... It was the maid who had a nightmare. ”

This is still the jurisdiction of Pingcheng, one million taels of silver, such a large amount, once she reports to the official, she will be reported to the government immediately, and Lord Xu will be the first to know that she just deceived him, even if there is no silver, Lord Xu will not let her go!

What's more, the silver has been lost, and it is still uncertain whether the official can get it back, even if it is recovered, with Lord Xu here, it may not be hers.

Thinking of this, Mu Wanqiu automatically suppressed the matter.

Money is something outside the body, the important thing is that it is easy to escape, she can no longer fall into the government, and she can no longer be controlled by others.

"Oh......" He stretched out his head to look into the room again, and the shopkeeper muttered dissatisfiedly, "It's scary to die this morning, and the customers of the store have been woken up by you......" turned back to the shopkeepers who heard the shouts gathering, "Let's all go back, let's go back...... Nothing to see, it's the little maid who has a nightmare......"

Leaning against the door, hearing that the outside gradually became quiet, Mu Wanqiu breathed a long sigh of relief, and was about to take a step, when there was another knock on the door, and Mo Yu's hurried and nervous voice came, "Miss, what's wrong with my sister?" ”

Glancing at Mo Xue, who was standing there like a stunned bird, Mu Wanqiu turned around and opened the door.

“…… What happened? The coachman Li Chen stood behind Mo Yu with shining eyes.

"It's okay......" Glancing at him thoughtfully, Mu Wanqiu beckoned Mo Yu into the house, "It's Mo Xue who had a nightmare, Uncle Li will go back first." ”

"This ......," Li Chen rubbed his hands, "...... Is Miss Bai really okay? ”

Mu Wanqiu nodded and closed the door casually.

When she turned around, she was stunned, Mo Xue, who was standing there like a goose just now, was looking at her with a smile.

“…… Miss just scared the slave to death, and the slave still thinks what you said is true? Mo Xue followed Mu Wanqiu to the chair and helped her sit down.

She had already lost her money, how could it be fake?

Glancing at Mo Xue, Mu Wanqiu was speechless, reached out and picked up the fish-shaped jade pendant on the table and stroked it.

“…… What's going on? Didn't dare to ask Mu Wanqiu, Mo Yu glared at her sister.

“…… The young lady said that she had lost the money, and it scared me to death. Mo Xue grinned and patted her chest.

“…… Silver? Mo Yu was puzzled.

“…… It's the one million taels of silver won from the casino" Mo Xue looked at Mu Wanqiu, "There was a thief in this house last night, and someone gave me and Miss a secret incense......"

"Misty fragrance ......" Mo Yu's face changed greatly, and he turned his head to look at Mu Wanqiu, "Is it true?" ”

"Hmm......" Mu Wanqiu nodded, "The one million taels of silver tickets I pressed under the pillow are gone......"

"This ......" Mo Xue opened her mouth wide, and was about to scream again, but was covered by Mu Wanqiu.

“…… It's true? As soon as she was free, Mo Xue couldn't wait to ask, her voice was low, and the mysterious look made Mu Wanqiu want to laugh, "...... How can you be so calm after losing so much silver? ”

I have been forced to die alive, and these are nothing compared to this!

Mu Wanqiu sighed, "It's already lost, do you want to cry?" ”

"But...... But ......" Mo Yu stuttered a little.

That's a million taels!

It can be used for them for several lifetimes!

"Okay, don't be in a daze" Mu Wanqiu pointed to the chair on the side, "You sit down......"

"Miss ......" Seeing that Mu Wanqiu's expression was never serious, where did Mo Yu and Mo Xue dare to sit, she couldn't help but scream timidly, and stood upright to the side.

“…… I did lose my silver" and didn't force them, Mu Wanqiu stared at the fish-shaped jade pendant in her hand, "In the future, I'm afraid I won't be able to take you with me......"
