Ning Zhifu turned over irritably and muttered,
"It's freezing cold, go to sleep."
"Where does the sound of horse hooves come from..."
"call....."
Mrs. Ning was furious when she heard the snoring of Governor Ning.
She threw back the quilt and sat up, glaring angrily at the sleeping Ning Zhifu.
"Why is there no sound of horse hooves? Are you deaf?"
As she spoke, Madam Ning angrily kicked Prefect Ning.
Prefect Ning frowned irritably, muttered a few words, closed his eyes tightly, pretended not to know, and continued to sleep soundly.
All the expenses of the mansion are now supported by the lady's family. It is wrong for him to breathe in front of the lady now.
There was no way out. The Ning Mansion was extremely poor and the granaries of the prefectural government were empty.
He didn't dare report it as stolen.
Even if it was stolen, the thief must be caught.
But... he sent so many people to catch the thieves, but he didn't catch a single one.
what to do.....
I can only swallow my anger and rely on my father-in-law's family to help me through the difficult times.
He could understand that the lady was angry.
It is really embarrassing for the wife of a prefect to go to her parents' home to ask for money every month.
Mrs. Ning looked at Prefect Ning pretending to be dead, and her back teeth were grinding in anger.
“Sleep sleep sleep!!!”
Mrs. Ning angrily pulled back the blanket from Prefect Ning and said, "I'll let you sleep!!"
“Hiss~~”
A gust of cold wind blew on Magistrate Ning, making him gasp for air and sit up suddenly. He grabbed the quilt that had been thrown aside and wrapped it around himself while shivering.
Prefect Ning looked at Madam Ning helplessly.
"Madam, I know you've been wronged recently, and I feel bad."
"Don't worry, as long as those shops recover, all the money they earn will be given to you."
"Besides, my father-in-law is happy to support me, so you don't have to put so much pressure on me."
"As long as I am still firmly in the position of prefect, no one in the entire Menglan City will dare to look down on you."
Prefect Ning sighed, reached out and grabbed Madam Ning's hand, patting it twice in a soothing manner.
After all, he is still the prefect. Even if his wife needs financial support from her family, her father-in-law's family will give it to her with a smile.
No one gave the lady any displeasure.
It’s just that the lady herself can’t get over the hurdle in her heart.
The Ning Mansion has never been short of money. In the past, the lady would go to her parents' home to give some money.
Now, on the contrary, it is normal for the lady to feel uncomfortable.
Not to mention his wife, even he himself was very panicked.
I was worried every day, afraid that someone from the capital would come to ask for money or something.
The New Year is approaching, and even if people from the capital don't come to ask for money, he should still send the silver as an annual tribute.
However, he really didn't have that much money at the moment, which made him very worried.
It is difficult for those shops to make ends meet, let alone make a profit.
He didn't even dare to reach out to the wealthy families and powerful families in Menglan City.
Those people all have a backer in the capital.
If he makes a move, his backers in the capital will know about it, and it will be even more difficult to resolve the situation...
Madam Ning had a cold face, pursed her lips and raised her chin towards the outside.
"Can't you get someone to take care of things outside?"
"Listen to how loud the horse's hooves are."
"Riding wildly in the middle of the night, is there any law or order?"
Madam Ning didn't want to talk about the money at all.
She felt uncomfortable whenever she mentioned this matter.
She just wants to have a good sleep now, why is it so difficult?
I am always busy during the day, doing one thing or another.
I finally drank some tranquilizers at night and was about to have a good rest, but it was so noisy outside.
Prefect Ning listened carefully and heard the sound of horse hooves outside.
However, judging by the sound of horse hooves, it definitely wasn't a gallop, it just sounded like a large number of horses were walking through the nearby streets.
Lots of horses! !?
Prefect Ning frowned, realizing something was wrong.
It's already curfew so late, why are there still so many horses walking around the streets?
Moreover, these people were so bold as to walk around Ning Mansion, as if they were afraid that he didn't know.
Ning Zhifu took a deep breath and shouted in a deep voice,
“Someone come!!”
With a creaking sound, the night watchman at the door pushed open the door and walked to the door of the wing room.
"grown ups!"
Prefect Ning frowned and said, "Go out and see who is riding a horse so wildly in the middle of the night?"
"Also, inform the bailiffs to arrest the man and lock him up in the cell for me."
This is outrageous. No matter who he is, if he is made uncomfortable in the middle of the night, he will be thrown into jail.
If it weren't for the damn sound of horse hooves, he wouldn't have been kicked awake by his lady and frozen.
Since these people don't want to sleep, they can just go to the cell and freeze.
"Yes!" the servant answered, closed the door of the living room and hurried out.
Prefect Ning turned to look at the angry Madam Ning and quickly pulled the quilt over her.
"Ma'am, take care of yourself and don't catch a cold."
"Hurry up and lie down to sleep. Look at your hands, they are so cold. If they get frozen, I will be heartbroken."
Prefect Ning comforted Madam Ning with kind words, put his arm around her shoulders and lay back on the bed together.
“Huh~”
Seeing his wife lying down obediently, Governor Ning breathed a sigh of relief.
Just don't make any noise.
If you make trouble again in the mansion, there will be no concubines left and the lady will have to send you into exile to vent her anger.
When he thought of those beautiful concubines with fair skin and tender skin, Governor Ning felt a pang of pain in his heart.
Those are all top-quality Yangzhou skinny horses, hard to buy even if you have money.
Before he could satisfy his cravings, his wife sold them all on the pretext that the family was struggling to make ends meet.
Why!
What a pity, it’s all because of those hateful thieves who harmed him so badly.
Now that there is not a single beautiful concubine or maid in the mansion, he can only sleep with his wife every day.
He has to accompany her. Once his wife starts making a fuss and ignores the house, he gets even more angry.
Madam Ning pursed her lips tightly and stared at the roof with her eyes wide open.
The noise outside was still there, and the clatter of horse hooves made her head ache.
The world is becoming more and more corrupt. When the Ning Mansion is short of money, all kinds of monsters and demons dare to show up and provoke.
In the past, no one dared to ride a horse on the street in the middle of the night.
Magistrate Ning listened to Madam Ning's heavy breathing and it was obvious that she was very angry.
He hesitated for a moment, then raised his hand and gently patted Madam Ning's chest.
"Don't get too angry and make yourself sick. I feel bad for you..."
"Hmph~" Madam Ning snorted coldly. Listening to her husband's heartwarming words, she didn't feel caring at all.
It's just that I need her now, and I'm afraid that if she falls, the mansion will be in chaos.
If her husband had treated her like this before, she would probably have been deeply moved.
But her husband was never so kind to her before, everything was just driven by interests.
