"Okay, you can go down." Zhong Mingwei couldn't bear to watch it anymore and waved to Pang Yi.
"Yes! I'll take my leave!" Pang Yi was as if he had heard of amnesty. He quickly got up and rushed out, jogging and complaining in his heart. He said, how could he not discuss such a big deal with his wife in advance? But that night, Zhong Mingwei kept saying that his wife should follow the three obediences and four virtues. He said that a wife would never dare to say anything!
snort!
I knew that their master was just a braggart!
…
study.
After Pang Yi left, Zhong Mingwei and Mei Ya were the only ones left in the room. Mei Ya sat silently on the couch. Zhong Mingwei also didn't say anything. He walked out from behind the desk and sat on the couch. But he felt very uncomfortable. He would glance at Mei Ya stealthily from time to time, and then move towards her stealthily. When Zhong Mingwei finally moved to Mei Ya's side, he reached out and held the girl Bai Jinjin's hand, squeezing it gently while whispering, "I didn't mean not to tell you. The matter was quite urgent at that time. The assassination of the Fourth Prince was obviously related to the Imperial Guards, and the breakthrough point of the Imperial Guards was at Feihua Tower. If we didn't take the initiative, and if Feihua Tower was bought by someone else first, or if it was destroyed, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to investigate the case. So, I took the initiative to pay for the money and bought Feihua Tower..."
"Four hundred thousand taels is a lot, but if you think about it carefully, it's worth it," Meiya didn't say anything for a long time, so Zhong Mingwei said stubbornly, "I asked Pang Yi to go to Feihualou to find out the truth. Feihualou can earn at least seven or eight thousand taels of silver a year, so we can recover our investment in five or six years." Meiya still didn't say anything, so Zhong Mingwei continued to chatter away, "It shouldn't take five or six years. Isn't the first floor a restaurant? Their restaurant business was not good before. When we have time in the future, we will invite a few chefs from Ningguta to come over and specialize in Northeastern food. The business will definitely be booming, and most importantly, whenever you want to eat sauerkraut dumplings and sweet and sour pork, we can eat them ready-made there, so you don't have to work so hard in the kitchen anymore."
"Are you done?" After Zhong Mingwei stopped talking, Mei Ya turned her head and looked at him indifferently.
Zhong Mingwei nodded hurriedly like a chick pecking at rice: "Yes, yes, wait for the lady's lecture."
"I don't have anything to scold you about. I just think we are both quite interesting," Meiya pursed her lips and smiled, swinging her feet and saying slowly, "I used money behind your back, and you also used money behind mine. It's really funny."
"You used the money behind my back?" Zhong Mingwei looked surprised, but after looking at Meiya's expression, he felt that she didn't seem to be lying. He was curious and puzzled at the moment, "How come I didn't know when you used the money? And, you...what did you do behind my back?"
Yes, why did Mei Ya use the money behind his back?
What's there to do behind his back?
Zhong Mingwei had never thought about these things. When he suddenly heard Mei Ya talking about them, he couldn't help but feel uncomfortable. Of course, it was not because he felt sorry for the money, but because Mei Ya used the money without telling him. As for why Mei Ya did it without telling him, it was probably because of some unspeakable secret. But he and Mei Ya had been through everything together. What could Mei Ya not tell him?
"When Ma Zhiming first came to Ningguta, I asked him to deliver 1,000 taels of silver to Lord Duan's family. I asked him to deliver it quietly, so Lord Duan would not think it was the silver we sent, and you never noticed it either," Mei Ya said slowly. She bit her lip, as if she was unwilling to elaborate, but in the end, she continued, "I have always felt guilty towards Miss Duan. The night Miss Duan hanged herself, I slept in the guest room next to her."
