Grandma Zhang handed a delicate box to Tang Miaoxin.
She took it and opened it. Inside was a thick stack of banknotes, one thousand taels each. They were bills from the largest bank in the capital, safe and reliable.
Tang Miaoxin smiled slightly: "Madam, you are very well prepared. Thank you for your hard work, Grandma Zhang."
Nanny Zhang forced out a smile: "Second Miss, you're so polite!"
Seeing Tang Miaoxin looking outside the house, she hurriedly explained: "It is not safe for the second young lady to live alone in Zhuangzi. They are all masters sent by the madam to protect the second young lady."
Tang Miaoxin saw that there were hundreds of people outside the house, all of whom were practicing practitioners.
The corner of her mouth twitched slightly: "Madam, you have really taken great pains to protect my life!"
"Please ask Nanny Zhang to go back and send a message to Madam, saying that I am very satisfied with her arrangements!"
Nanny Zhang was really afraid that she would get angry today. She was relieved when she heard this and left quickly, fearing that she would do something out of the ordinary again.
Tang Miaoxin was really satisfied with Li's arrangement. If she got married in the Houfu, it would take a lot of effort to get out of the house and the city, which was far less convenient than in Zhuangzi.
She happily opened the box and counted the banknotes again. One hundred thousand taels of silver, exactly the same.
She glanced at the guards outside, put the banknotes away, stretched herself, and then went back to her room to take a nap. After waking up, she made herself a bunch of delicious food.
After she had eaten her fill, she walked out. The servant who had been so lively just now had fallen to the ground in a mess.
She chuckled lightly, but there were only about a hundred people. If she was willing, she could easily knock down twice as many people.
She had never thought about marrying King Qin for Tang Jiangxian.
The people in Wanhu Houfu caused her so much trouble, and she lost her virginity because of their schemes. She only wanted one hundred thousand taels of silver in compensation, so she couldn't be too kind!
She has been living in this village for these years because the environment here is good and no one disturbs her.
Now that she is no longer peaceful here, it would be a good idea for her to live somewhere else.
She took some money to settle the widow who had raised her, and then rode south with her baggage on her back.
In this season, if you go to see the misty rain in Jiangnan, you can just enjoy the spring scenery of the city.
Tang Miaoxin was in a good mood at this time and rode her horse to the ferry. The boat boss arranged for her to get on a small boat.
She had chartered this boat before, so she was very relieved.
The person who was punting the boat was a tall man. It was dark at night and he could not see clearly because he was wearing a bamboo hat. She did not pay much attention to it.
After she got on the boat, she threw ten taels of silver to the man and said, "Follow the river all the way south. I'll go and rest first."
The man took the silver but said nothing, and silently pushed the boat towards the center of the river.
She didn't take it seriously, yawned and went into the cabin to sleep.
When she woke up, it was already broad daylight. She stretched out and touched the baggage she had brought with her, but found nothing.
She woke up suddenly, looked around and saw that her carry-on luggage had disappeared.
Tang Miaoxin strode out of the cabin, only to find that the boat was parked on the shore, and Ning Guzhou, dressed in black clothes, was sitting about three feet away from her, fishing.
The lines of his profile are extremely graceful, and the outline is even more pleasing to the eye. Sitting there casually, he looks like an exquisite picture of a beautiful man.
When Tang Miaoxin saw him, she was stunned for a moment and rubbed her eyes vigorously. She saw that he was not mistaken.
She designed the Marquis House of Ten Thousand Households, and from taking the money to leaving, it only took half a day. No one knew her plan. How did he find her?
She grinned lightly, jumped onto the shore, walked up to him and asked, "What are you going to do?"
At that moment, a fish happened to bite the hook. Ning Guzhou flicked the fishing line and caught a carp that was more than a foot long.
He removed the fish, hooked it up, put out the line, and continued fishing.
Tang Miaoxin folded her hands in front of her chest and asked, "Where are my things?"
Ning Guzhou asked instead, "Do you still remember what I said when I left last time?"
Tang Miaoxin thought about it carefully, and finally remembered a sentence: "You can't afford a night with me. You will have to pay for what happened last night for the rest of your life."
Her eyes darkened: "So?"
Ning Guyzhou didn't look at her, his cold eyes fell on Jiang Xin, and he said expressionlessly: "You can't leave the capital without my permission."
Tang Miaoxin laughed angrily: "Why?"
However, Ning Guzhou didn't even notice her in the corner of his eye, ignored her at all, and continued fishing.
This was the first time that Tang Miaoxin was ignored like this, and she was very angry.
She took a deep breath and asked, "What if I insist on leaving?"
"Then leave the body." Ning Guzhou's voice was as cold as ice.
Tang Miaoxin: "..."
Damn it! What the hell did she sleep with!
So domineering!
She sneered: "If you want to kill me, it depends on whether you have the ability!"
She decided to go south by boat, but found that the boat had left the shore and floated more than ten feet downstream.
Tang Miaoxin: "..."
She glared at him fiercely and decided to change her way, but within ten steps, she saw more than ten people in gray clothes surrounding her.
With just one glance, Tang Miaoxin could tell that all of those people were martial arts experts, and they were definitely not comparable to the servants of Wanhu Houfu.
Tang Miaoxin took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in her heart: "What on earth do you mean?"
Ning Guzhou caught another fish and said in a cold voice: "You understand."
Tang Miaoxin's eyes darkened, knowing that he was very skilled and had so many helpers around him, otherwise she would have already taken action.
She bit her lip and smiled at him: "I know that I am loved by everyone, and it is normal that you are reluctant to let me go."
"Okay, for the sake of your deep love for me, I won't leave. Please return my luggage to me."
Ning Guzhou raised his hand slightly, and a man in gray handed Tang Miaoxin's baggage over.
Tang Miaoxin glanced at them warily, opened the bag, and found that everything was inside except the one hundred thousand taels of silver missing.
She chuckled lightly and asked him with squinting eyes: "What do you do with my money?"
Ning Guzhou finally gave her a look: "Weren't you curious that day about how much money my night is worth? This is the answer."
Tang Miaoxin: "..."
She doesn't want to know this answer at all!
One hundred thousand taels a night, he is really expensive!
She took another deep breath and told herself to calm down. She would definitely suffer a loss if she fought with him today!
She tried hard to smile: "Now that you have the money, can you let me go?"
Ning Guzhou glanced at her with the tail of his eyes: "You can leave now, but if you want to leave the capital, leave the body behind."
Tang Miaoxin was completely shocked: "Brother, is this a bit too much for you? Isn't it a bit unreasonable to detain someone after taking money?"
Ning Guzhou's voice was cold and domineering: "The rules are set by the strong. Wait until you have the ability to challenge me, and then you can reason with me."
