Chapter 141 "Stealing" Tokens
Xie Xiwen originally wanted to ask Wanning to have dinner together and get together as a family. But when I thought about Wanning just came, such a big thing happened in the house, I was obviously in a bad mood, and I had to abide by etiquette in front of everyone, so it was difficult to be a child. Just let her rest well first, and get together another day.
She instructed her servants to prepare a good meal and send it to Wanning's house. Of course, before she ordered her subordinates, Gao Ziang had already explained to the kitchen, and when Miss Wanning came to the house, the food should be exquisite. The specific dishes are also clearly requested, and they are all Wanning's favorite foods.
But no matter how exquisite the food is, Wan Ning can't eat it. Just a perfunctory reception of the Gao family.
After dinner, Gao Ziang only sat in Wanning's house for a short while, and was called away by Yi'er, saying that he was looking for the master. At this hour, his father was looking for him, but Gao Ziang could only be obedient and did not dare to delay in the slightest.
Wan Ning crossed her legs and sat quietly on the bed. On this day, I was finally able to calm down. Xiao Feiyan knew that the young lady was upset, so she only stood by and didn't say much.
Wan Ning didn't expect to live in the Gao family tonight, all the property of the Li family was confiscated, and the Li Mansion, which had grown up since childhood, would never be able to go back? It was like she was dreaming.
Xiao Feiyan knew what Wan Ning was thinking at the moment, so she came over to comfort: "Miss, forgive the slave for saying a few things that shouldn't be said." ”
Wan Ning raised her eyes and looked at her: "Yan'er, say it." ”
"Although the slave has never seen any money since she was a child, she also knows that everyone wants money and everyone is fighting for it. Having wealth requires taking huge risks, the so-called 'coarse tea and light rice to keep safe'. You have been protected by the old lady since you were a child, and you grew up with the support of many subordinates, and you don't know the dangers of this world. Forgive the slave and maid bluntly, in the world of cannibalism, it is not a rare thing for you to be a weak woman and not be able to keep this family fortune, let alone something worth being sad about. ”
"But Sister Yan, I'm not just sad to lose some money."
Xiao Feiyan approached, sat on the edge of the bed, shook Wanning's hand, and said, "Miss, the slave understands you, and it is indeed a bad thing to be kicked out of your own house. But maybe someone is here for this house, and who makes it worthwhile. Everything in this world, whether money or money, is yours or yours, and no one can rob it. All the property of the Li family belongs to the young lady. If someone gains it illegally, the slave believes that one day it will be returned to the young lady. ”
Xiao Feiyan's words made Wanning's heart feel a lot more relieved.
The Li family can't go back, and Wanning has to adapt to the new environment here as soon as possible. Fortunately, my brother's room is quite familiar, and he has often come here since he was a child. But since he doesn't plan to marry into the Gao family now, living in the Gao family is not a long-term solution, so he still has to find a way to find another place.
Even if you cheer up, you will never be concerned about the Li Mansion after all. She left in too much hurry today, and she really wanted to go back to the Li Mansion again.
Wan Ning turned out a few pieces of jewelry and close-fitting clothes that she brought with her, and counted them one by one. Suddenly, her heart shook: "Sister Yan, it's bad!" ”
"What's wrong?" Xiao Feiyan hurriedly came over and asked with concern.
"The token that my brother gave me is still in the Li Mansion. What to do? Wan Ning, who was stunned for a moment, immediately got up and put on her shoes.
It can be seen that she has panicked, and subconsciously wants to go to the Li Mansion to get the token. "It was the most precious gift of my life, and I must get it back."
Xiao Feiyan hurriedly stopped her: "Miss, Miss, where are you going?" Calm down, we've been kicked out, and the Li Mansion can't go back, have you forgotten? ”
Wan Ning stopped.
"Miss, don't worry, calm down first, and then slowly find a way to go to the Li Mansion to have a look, maybe it's still there."
Wan Ning's expression softened slightly: "Those officers and soldiers who are fierce and vicious today, will they take them away?" ”
Xiao Feiyan comforted: "Miss, no." ”
"Yan'er, why are you so sure?"
"Because the slave maid noticed that although the officers and soldiers who entered the palace today had an arrogant attitude, they did not do miscellaneous utensils, and the valuables should still be intact. They are just running errands, and everything is already their master's, how dare they destroy it? ”
Hearing this, Wan Ning finally relieved her heart, but she still wanted to get the jade pendant at this moment.
Xiao Feiyan saw that the expression on Wan Ning's face was soothed, and asked, "Where did Miss put the jade pendant?" ”
"Still under the pillow."
"The young master will come back in a while, and let him go and get it back."
Wan Ning shook her head: "You can't ask him to get it." It's no wonder that he is embarrassed, and besides, if he knows that I have left such a precious token in the Li family, he will also be sad. Anyway, it's not like you and I can't do it. ”
Xiao Feiyan was taken aback, "What? Miss, do you want to go to Li's house to pick it up yourself? ”
Wan Ning replied firmly, "Yes." ”
Xiao Feiyan was surprised again, she didn't dare to disobey her master's decision, so she had to follow Wanning.
Wan Ning left Ning Zhu in Gaofu and was responsible for replying to the people in Gaofu. Wan Ning explained that if the people of the Gao family, especially Brother Ziang, asked, they would say that they would go out to relax, or that it would be okay to go in the direction of the Li Mansion.
Wan Ning and Xiao Feiyan planned to infiltrate the Li Mansion and take out the jade pendant.
Along the way, Wan Ning was pondering the situation of the Li Mansion at the moment, and she asked, "Yan'er, do you think the Li family will be guarded by elite soldiers at this time?" ”
The slave thought, there should be. Maybe the guards will be slack after a while, but they will definitely not be slackened today. ”
When they came to the Li Mansion, the two saw from a distance that the main gate of the Li Mansion was indeed guarded by several elite soldiers. and then go around to the side gates, which are more or less guarded by elite soldiers.
"Every door is sealed, and we can't get in."
There was no way to enter the mansion, but Wanning still said: "I must get the jade pendant, it is the most precious gift in my life, even if I steal it, I will steal it." ”
Wan Ning thought for a moment and said, "Do you have to go through the door?" I know that there is a place where there must be no one to guard. And when we entered from there, the officers and soldiers guarding it would not be able to find it. ”
"Where?"
"It's to go around the pear orchard and climb over the wall. From the outside, there is no light in the house, which shows that there are no officers and soldiers guarding it, and it is easy to say that there is no guard in the house. ”
"I'm afraid that even the door of the house will be sealed."
Wan Ning didn't think twice: "Then let's go through the window." ”
didn't want to attract the attention of others, Wan Ning and Xiao Feiyan didn't even take the lantern, they only relied on the moonlight.
Fortunately, she is familiar with the pear orchard everywhere, and even if there is no light at night, she can still see the dirt road, and she can still pass through the pear orchard smoothly.
From the pear orchard to the back of the Li house, we crossed a small stream and finally reached the root of the courtyard wall.
The two took a personal ladder, Wan Ning went up first, climbed the courtyard wall, and pulled Xiao Feiyan up.
No wonder Wan Ning had the idea of playing here, I have to say that the courtyard wall here is indeed low, and two women can easily climb in.
Standing on the wall, Wan Ning could only see the backyard. However, it can be concluded that there are indeed no elite soldiers guarding the courtyard.
The two of them walked forward for some distance and easily descended the courtyard wall from the edge of the latrine in the backyard.
Wan Ning went straight to her room, and the door was unsurprisingly sealed.
The two had to enter through the window and came to the bed, Wan Ning couldn't wait to lift the pillow, only to see a black mass.
But she can be sure that it is the jade pendant that her brother gave her.
She held it to her chest like a baby: "It's okay, it's still there." ”
For Wan Ning, isn't this jade pendant a treasure?
The stone in her heart was put down, and she said to Xiao Feiyan: "I didn't expect that I would have this kind of behavior of stealing chickens and dogs." ”
Xiao Feiyan comforted: "Miss, you are not stealing chickens and dogs, Young Master Gao's heart has already been stolen by you, what can jade be counted." ”
"Really? Yan'er, when you say that, I feel better. ”
