In the Duke's Mansion, Zhao Ningsong and Wang were trapped in the Duke's Mansion. They had no idea that Tian An and Zhao Yiming had returned, and they had not received any news of their deaths. Even if they had confidence in the Dark Chamber, they couldn't help but feel anxious at this time.
"Is the Dark Cabinet reliable? Why is there still no news after such a long time?" Zhao Ningsong paced back and forth in the room in annoyance.
In contrast, Wang was very calm, "The Dark Pavilion is known as one of the three major assassin organizations in the martial arts world, and its success rate is at least over 90%.
Moreover, we have issued the highest kill order in the assassination chamber. Unless they are nine-life cat demons, there is no way they can come back alive."
Hearing this, Zhao Ningsong slowed down his pace a bit, but he was still worried, always feeling that things would not develop in the direction he expected.
Suddenly, he stopped and looked at Wang, "Take out the remaining silver."
"I have used all the silver in my hand to issue wanted notices in the secret cabinet. These days, I have neither gotten any silver from the third brother nor robbed anything from the warehouse. Moreover, I am locked up in this mansion and cannot leave. Where can I get the silver?" Wang refused without thinking and complained.
Zhao Ningsong ignored her, "Stop talking nonsense, don't think I don't know how much money you have secretly saved over the years."
"Yes, I did save a lot of silver, but ever since you took away my housekeeper rights, I haven't had a single penny in my bag. You asked Concubine Xu to compensate the shop and silver in my dowry to the Tian and Gu families. The little I managed to save was sent to the secret cabinet, and now I have nothing left." Wang's words were well-reasoned.
Zhao Ningsong regretted it after hearing this. He didn't expect that he had made a mistake in his judgment and now he has ended up in such a situation.
However, although what Wang said was true, he still didn't believe that Wang had no money.
"We are husband and wife after all. How could I not know what kind of person you are? Hurry up, don't waste time.
We have to prepare for both scenarios and not put all our hopes on those people in the Dark Chamber. Otherwise, if that guy comes back, we'll all be finished."
Wang didn't expect to hear Zhao Ningsong mention their marital relationship under such circumstances.
It has to be said that Zhao Ningsong understood her and she did have some money on her.
However, that was her last guarantee. She was now completely disappointed with Zhao Ningsong and would not take out that money.
Even if it was true as Zhao Ningsong said, that Zhao Yiming and Tian An came back alive, they would have to go find Zhao Ningsong alone. Only with that money would she and the children have a way out.
Wang made up her mind that no matter what Zhao Ningsong said, she would not give in.
Zhao Ningsong was so angry that he slapped her in the face, and then he frantically searched all over the house, but unfortunately he didn't find a single penny after searching the entire house.
I was feeling so angry that I had no place to vent it. Just then, Zi Yi brought some food from the kitchen.
Looking at the simple three dishes, one soup and two bowls of rice on the table, he, who was used to eating lavish meals, became even more furious. "You're trying to trick me with something that even pigs wouldn't eat."
He immediately forgot the lesson from last time and called someone to prepare to pry open the warehouse.
After the last lesson, Nanny Xiao and the others thought that Zhao Ningsong would not try to break into the warehouse again, so they changed the lock and only let two people guard it.
When Zhao Ningsong arrived, the people watching were controlled by his men before they could even react.
Last time he broke into the warehouse openly, but after learning his lesson, he changed to a low-key theft this time.
As long as he could move the things back to his own yard before being discovered, even if the servants from Tongxinyuan came, they would not dare to break into his yard to move things.
I have to say that he still had some brains this time, but unfortunately he was unlucky and happened to meet Tian An and Zhao Yiming coming back.
At this time, in Tongxin Courtyard, servants such as Madam Xiao were chattering non-stop with tears in their eyes as they surrounded their two masters who had disappeared for a long time without saying a word.
When Tian An heard what they said, he realized that they were basically accusing Zhao Ningsong's family and how difficult their lives were.
"Thank you for your hard work." Tian An patted the hands of the maids comfortingly.
He turned his head and looked at Zhao Yiming, and they both understood what was in each other's eyes.
It seems that they won't be able to have a good year unless they get rid of this family.
Just then, the servant in charge of the garden came to report: "Master, I found that the second uncle of the second house took people to rob the warehouse again."
"Is he a bandit and a hermit?" Tian An said sarcastically.
Zhao Yiming stood up and took Tian An's hand, "Let's go! Let's go take a look."
It's like someone sends you a pillow just when you're sleepy. Just when you were worried about not being able to find a reason to split up, Zhao Ningsong unexpectedly showed up on his own.
"Hurry up, hurry up and get more."
"Take something valuable! Look at the junk you're holding."
"Alright, alright, that's enough. Let's go. Someone should be here soon."
In the warehouse, Zhao Ningsong was busy directing the servants to move things.
After everyone had their hands full, he himself was holding a box of jade and jewelry, and then he urged the servants to leave quickly.
As a result, as soon as he walked out of the warehouse door, he ran into Zhao Yiming and Tian An and their men, who were sitting there waiting for him!
"Second uncle, why are you doing it yourself? How can a noble man like you do the rough work that servants do?" Zhao Yiming sat down on the chair with a big smile on his face and looked at him.
Zhao Ningsong stared blankly at the two people who had been discussing their inevitable deaths with Wang before, and were now standing in front of him intact. Suddenly, a cry of "Ghost!" resounded through the sky.
"Haha! Second uncle has done so many bad things that he starts seeing ghosts in broad daylight!" Zhao Yiming sneered at Zhao Ningsong who was still holding the jewelry box tightly.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Ningsong looked up at the sky, then at the ground, and then he carefully observed Zhao Yiming and Tian An, and finally confirmed that the two were the living people like the nine-life cat demon that Wang mentioned.
"Nephew, you, you're back." He subconsciously held the jewelry box tighter in his arms and stammered awkwardly.
Zhao Yiming raised his eyebrows. "Thanks to my second uncle, I came back two days later than expected, but I finally returned safely."
After that! She raised her chin behind him and said, "Second Uncle, what are you doing? Don't you want to explain?"
"I, I, I'm just getting some things from the warehouse." Facing Zhao Yiming, Zhao Ningsong was obviously starting to feel short of breath.
At this time, Tian An spoke up, "If Second Uncle wants to take something, he can just go to the accounting office and tell him. Why do you have to do it yourself?"
"Account, accountant, no, don't give it to me." Zhao Ningsong lowered his head and said weakly.
Looking at that look, I would have thought that it was a child who had done something wrong!
