It was not that Yang Ning had improper thoughts towards the girl. He just remembered that he had bumped into somebody when he chased the elder in grey robe. He was in such a hurry that he didn’t have time to stop and apologize. That person seemed to be dressed in such green clothes. He planned to ask her, but he couldn’t come up right away as he saw the girl lowering her head.Hearing the girl inquire, the old man hurriedly came over. “Lady, are you interested in this daffodil?” He showed a thumbs-up sign. “You have great insight. You are an expert. You can look for such flowers on the street and it is hard to find daffodil at this season. On this street, there are no more than three plants of this.”The girl raised her head and responded, “I have checked shops on the street and found that you have this flower, so I want to ask how much it is.”“Girl, it appears that you really like it.” The old man laughed. “Since you are an expert, you must k

The tree shadows in the courtyard in the mansion of the Marquis of Martial Arts were mottled, and there were a few big trees which could be surrounded by several people between the lawns. The winding path with bluestones led to a secluded quiet place. Compared with the mansion of the Marquis of Honor, this mansion was smaller evidently, but its style was much more luxurious. The furniture in the main hall was costly and elegant, and even several chairs were made of selected precious sandalwood. Every part in the hall was well-arranged. It showed that a lot of efforts had been made in the mansion of the Marquis of Martial Arts, both in the big structure and small pattern.But servants were not seen in and outside the main hall, which was unusual for a sumptuous mansion.Yang Ning was sitting in the main hall in the mansion of the Marquis of Martial Arts, and Yuan Rong sat next to him. After they entered the mansion, they didn’t see anybody except the servant

They left the mansion of the Marquis of Martial Arts, and Yuan Rong still had cold sweat on his back. He thought they came to invite the heir of the Marquis of Martial Arts, Su Zicheng, to have fun in a brothel, but the result was like this. He was unhappy with Yang Ning, but what was done was done, and it would be useless even if he blamed Yang Ning and complained. He had to repeatedly tell Yang Ning to keep his word and ensure Steward Wu’s safety.However, Yang Ning was entirely free from worry. After returning to his mansion, he didn’t hurriedly tell his family about this matter.He thought he would sleep soundly tonight, and as he expected, he had a good sleep before midnight. But after midnight, he suddenly heard that his room door was knocked with loud sounds, which awakened him from his dream.He was unhappy and got up, about to lose his temper, but he heard Qi Feng’s voice, so he restrained his anger. He opened the door and found the an

Many people complained and sighed in sorrow, but Gu Qinghan calmed down and declared casually, “All of you, don’t worry. Since the fire started in the pawnshop, our family would compensate for your losses.”All people heard that and looked happy immediately.“You go back to check how much you have lost. After confirming, we will pay you every penny.” Gu Qinghan looked tired. “This big fire started all of a sudden and got you implicated. I am sorry.”Somebody laughed. “My Lady, since you said that, it will be easier to handle it. In fact, I didn’t lose much, at most three or four thousand taels of silver.” He looked back at the ruins and sighed. “A shop was destroyed by fire. It’s not easy to check.”“Right, Mr. Lu is reasonable. The account book was burnt, and it’s difficult to check the stock.” Another person echoed him immediately. “But everybody has an account book in the brain. It’s not easy to check it clearly, but each of us

The family of the Marquis of Honor was in trouble continuously. Gu Qinghan managed the big mansion and was mentally and physically exhausted though she still kept calm in front of others. She was extremely tired tonight. After they went back to the mansion, Yang Ning comforted her and she finally went to have a rest.Yang Ning was clear that if Qi Jing were alive, these successive things must not have happened, but after Qi Jing passed away, many people with evil intentions tried to add insult to injury.Although Dou Lianzhong showed up and Yang Ning found that he must have something to do with them, he didn’t think that the Dou Family was the manipulator behind the scenes.The minister of the Ministry of Revenue was a high official of the empire, but only the Dou Family didn’t have the strength to cope with the family of the Marquis of Honor.The family of the Marquis of Honor seemed to be declining, but the marquises of two gener
