"Where are the silver notes?"

Ye Zhengqing's brow twitched; he had a bad feeling.

The head maid was even more bewildered. "Madam said she would send someone to deliver it to you."

What a load of rubbish!

Ye Zhengqing cursed under his breath.

He was at the mansion last night, and Madam Wang didn't even look for her.

Thinking of something, he hurriedly summoned the accountant and learned that Wang had also taken away the only five thousand taels in the public account.

Ye Zhengqing completely lost his composure. "Quickly, bring her back to me."

It's impossible that Wang took so much money with her; she couldn't have donated it to a temple unless she was insane.

But like Ye Wantang, he didn't think that Madam Wang would abandon her status as the wife of the Ye family and leave the capital with her wealth, so he sent someone to inquire about the shops under Madam Wang's name.

Upon learning that the shop had been sold yesterday, Ye Zhengqing still found it hard to believe. "Has she been bewitched? What is she planning to do?"

Wang's family was just an ordinary family. She had dreamed of wealth and honor all her life, and she just gave it all up like that?

Even if Ye Wantang has no chance of making a comeback, he is still a fifth-rank official, which is better than being a commoner.

But judging from the current situation, the person has indeed run away.

"Has Madam been in contact with anyone recently?"

Surely she wasn't deceived by a man's sweet talk, giving up her job as an official's wife to elope with someone?

Thinking of this possibility, Ye Zhengqing couldn't sit still and decided to go to the temple to find the person himself.

But at the city gate, they saw people distributing porridge, with the character "Ye" written in large characters on the porridge stall.

In the capital, the only officials with the surname Ye are him and the General's Mansion. Ye Wantang is under house arrest and his money has been stolen, so it is impossible for him to distribute porridge anymore.

After asking around, it turned out that it was indeed the work of the Wang family.

The servant who went to question them said, "This soup kitchen was set up in your name; Madam is building up your reputation."

Ye Zhengqing's expression improved considerably. He said that Wang Shi was reluctant to leave him, and it turned out that she had indeed taken money to do things for him.

It's true that going to a temple to pawn clothes is the proper way for a wife to do so, even if it costs a bit of money.

Considering the current situation in the mansion, he decided to go to the temple to keep an eye on things, lest Wang Shi be too extravagant.

Once I realized that Wang was not fleeing, I wasn't so anxious anymore.

"Keep the carriage steady, I'm going to take a nap, wake me up when we get there."

Although he had taken the Taoist's pills and felt much better, and performed even better when facing the Su family, Li Chenghai's demands kept increasing.

Ye Zhengqing was exhausted and soon fell asleep in the car.

In my sleep, a sharp voice rang in my ears, "Master, something terrible has happened! Madam... Madam has attempted suicide..."
