"Just as the master expected, someone did go to the princess's residence and even dug up some silver coins in a dilapidated courtyard."

Shen Yi, who had been guarding near the princess's mansion for three days according to Shen Jingyi's orders, followed someone as soon as he saw them breaking into the princess's mansion. In order to avoid alerting the enemy, Shen Yi did not show up.

"Just some small change?"

Shen Jingyi sneered.

He knew without thinking too much that this person must be someone sent by the wild ghost. It was just a matter of time. What kind of illusion did he give her that made her feel that he was not even worth a few coins?

Shen Yi didn't understand the deep meaning of Shen Jingyi's words, "Indeed, I am also very surprised. Although the princess's mansion was sealed, many valuable things inside were not moved away, but the thief only took advantage of the small change and directly climbed over the wall and left."

When Shen Jingyi heard this, he also thought of the reason.

It seems that this wild ghost is not stupid. He knows that things in the princess's mansion cannot be used casually.

He raised his head and glanced at Shen Yi who was still confused: "Where did the person go after climbing over the wall?"

Shen Yi suddenly knelt on one knee, clasped his fists and bowed: "I am incompetent. After leaving the house, that person fled into the crowd. I was not paying attention and lost him."

Shen Yi’s words made Shen Jingyi frown.

You have to know that Shen Yi is already one of the best masters. It is impossible for Shen Yi to lose an ordinary thief even if he is in a crowd.

It seems that the wild ghost has sought help from an expert.

And Shen Yi, who was waiting for Shen Jingyi, also felt very strange.

When he was in the yard, he investigated the man and found that he clearly did not look like a martial artist. But after he climbed over the wall and came to the street, he could not find the man at all, like looking for a needle in a haystack.

What Shen Yi didn't know was that this was all thanks to Xiao Qi.

When Ning Wan was alone, the skill did not fully play its role, but when Ning Wan was in a crowd, no matter how obvious Ning Wan's features were, Shen Yi could not recognize her and would only regard her as an ordinary member of the crowd.

"It seems the wall is too low. Remember to find someone to repair it higher. Also, find some people to guard it. If this kind of theft happens again, there will be severe punishment."

Shen Yi, who thought he would be punished, did not expect his master to give such an order. After all, in his opinion, the princess's mansion would be demolished sooner or later.

But Shen Yi didn't say much. Thinking of the thief just now, he took the order and went to arrange the raising of the wall.

Perhaps the master was just worried that the thief would come back and steal something more valuable.

Shen Jingyi was looking at the palace wall not far away and fell into deep thought.

Perhaps, breaking his legs and locking him up would be a permanent solution. I hope that wild ghost won't force him to go this far.

On the other side, Ning Wan was shaking off Shen Yi and was happily walking towards the restaurant with the silver in her hand.

Xiao Qi saw his host preparing to go to the restaurant to eat, but something unexpected happened suddenly.

When someone pulled her sleeve, Ning Wan thought her identity was exposed.

Then, a cry for help was heard.

"Girl, please be kind and save me!"

“Please!”

"Qiuyue is willing to work like a cow or a horse for you, just ask you to take Qiuyue home."

The girl kneeling on the ground and kowtowing was only sixteen or seventeen years old. Her clothes were very thin, but they completely exposed her beautiful figure.

The girl didn't care about Ning Wan's reaction, she just kept kowtowing, trying to arouse Ning Wan's sympathy.

"Miss, if you have something to say, please talk to me nicely. Don't knock on my chest."

She doesn't want to shorten her life at all.

Ning Wan wanted to pull the person on the ground up, but she didn't expect that although the girl named Qiuyue looked small in size, she was not light at all.

Ning Wan, who had tried several times to pull the man up but failed, gave up and spread his hands.

Qiuyue still had no intention of getting up, as if she knew that her request would make others feel awkward, so she was unwilling to get up without waiting for Ning Wan to agree.

Ning Wan was originally in the restaurant, and it was noon, so the flow of people was ridiculously large.

Everyone's attention was drawn to them in an instant, and the originally noisy restaurant became quiet for a moment, as everyone looked at the two people standing and kneeling in front of them as if they were watching a show.

"Or, why don't you just take this man in?"

"Yeah, you don't look like you're short of money."

"Yes, yes, just take her back and let her be a maid to help you with things."

People around started talking at once.

Ning Wan frowned.

According to Xiaoqi, in the eyes of this woman named Qiuyue, he should be an ordinary person who cannot be more ordinary.

If you really encounter any difficulties, you shouldn't come to me.

"Damn you, Bei Jian girl, get back here!"

Just at this moment, a middle-aged woman dressed in fancy clothes ran out.

Her face was covered in thick rouge and powder, and she smelled of strong perfume, which was even pungent.

Seeing that the person seemed to know the kneeling girl, the crowd silently made way for him.

When the woman reached Qiuyue, she grabbed Qiuyue, who was kneeling on the ground, and slapped her.

"You are such a money-loser, what are you dissatisfied with? It's your blessing that Mr. Li likes you. Don't be ungrateful to me!"

When everyone in the crowd heard that it was Mr. Li, they instantly lost interest in watching the show.

The crowd that was originally in three circles inside and three circles outside dispersed in just a moment, and Qiuyue's face became more and more desperate.

She returned her gaze to Ning Wan and reached out to grab her skirt. "Please, save me, or I'll die."

The old lady who had persuaded Ning Wan to accept Qiuyue pulled Qiuyue's hand away, "Bah!"

"You must not harm others. Everyone knows that Mr. Li is in collusion with the government. If this girl really helps you, she will inevitably be implicated by you. You'd better accept your fate and serve her well, and then you will naturally have a good life."

The woman just now stood aside and looked at Qiuyue coldly.

She was absolutely sure that no one at the scene would be so foolish as to help Qiuyue.

"Oh, stop messing around. It's better for you to go back with me peacefully. Otherwise, if you get hurt, I won't be the one to blame you."

Qiuyue, who was threatened, had more and more tears in her eyes. She shook her head, looking unwilling to accept her fate.

But this is what the middle-aged woman hates the most.

She was crying so much, knowing clearly that she couldn't change the current situation and really didn't want to get married, so she might as well just kill herself.

Ultimately, it's just self-righteousness.

If Mr. Li were thirty years younger and already independent, if he knew that he could become his concubine, he would have tried to curry favor with her long ago. How could he be making such a fuss here?

Ning Wan pushed the old lady's hand away and was about to say a few more words, but was interrupted by the middle-aged woman.

"I'm here to advise you, this isn't something you can get involved in just because you want to. Consider yourself first and see if you're qualified. Otherwise, you might even lose your life without knowing how it happened."

The middle-aged woman's tone was very impolite, as if she was going to find someone to beat Ning Wan up if she dared to stop her.
