Chapter 104 Look, it’s dark here
After the New Year, the sky pushes away the white snow and unfolds a blue picture.

The lively atmosphere of the New Year still lingers in the city.

On the bluestone steps, in the hexagonal pavilion, the aroma of tea is faint.

Chen Qingyin and Ning Guanzhou sat opposite each other and drank tea. Feng Wu brought some snacks and Ning Guanzhou pushed them in front of Chen Qingyin.

Chen Qingyin took a look and found that it was the flavor she used to love when she was in her boudoir, but she didn't want to touch it now.

"Master Ning, please speak frankly."

Ning Guanzhou smiled and found that Chen Qingyin was still as quick-tempered as before.

He took out a palm-sized golden token from his arms and pushed it in front of Chen Qingyin.

Chen Qingyin immediately recognized that this was the bank's official.

The so-called Lingzi was a symbol of status. Everyone could go to the bank to withdraw money with his own Lingzi.

Of course, not everyone has a beautiful figure.

If you own a Lingzi, you can withdraw money from the bank at any time. Therefore, in the entire Great Yan Kingdom, there are no more than ten people who own a Lingzi.

Among these ten people, except Ning Guanzhou, the others are all royal relatives.

"You accept the order. If you need anything, go to the bank to get silver and tell me my name." Ning Guanzhou said.

Chen Qingyin raised her long eyelashes: "I can't accept it. Besides, I have enough money."

Ning Guanzhou knew that she was just showing off.

Feng Wu helped her move and put her things in order. How much silver did she have and how could she hide it from Ning Guanzhou?

Although Chen Qingyin had a generous dowry, 70% of it was squandered by the Hu family over the years.

She holds the remaining 30% in her hands. The shops and farms cannot be pawned and cannot be counted as silver.

Therefore, the cash that Chen Qingyin could control did not exceed 10,000 taels.

A lot of money was spent on buying a house, and he also found a human trafficker to buy a few servants, and also bought some utensils and items.

All in all, Chen Qingyin spent at least four thousand taels.

There is not much money left now, and Ning Guanzhou is worried that she, a woman with a child, will not be able to survive in the outside world.

So I want to give this son to her.

But with Chen Qingyin's personality, how could she accept that?

"Please accept it in case of emergency." Ning Guanzhou insisted on giving it to him.

Unexpectedly, Chen Qingyin stood up and said firmly: "Master Ning, please don't do this again."

Ning Guanzhou raised his eyes and looked at her fair face. There were complicated emotions in those beautiful eyes.

Chen Qingyin said, "I think we are even now. You betrayed my feelings back then, and I did hate you for a while, but this time you helped me get a divorce and got me out of trouble, so I am very grateful to you."

"You don't owe me anything, Ning Guanzhou. Stop thinking about being nice to me. I don't want to look back, and I won't continue to pick up the previous feelings. I have let it go, and I hope you have let it go too."

When the wind blows, the curtains under the pavilion move slightly, causing the green bells on the eaves to flutter.

Ning Guanzhou didn't say anything, but just looked at Chen Qingyin with his deep eyes.

After a while, he slowly lowered his eyes, picked up the teacup and brought it to his lips, suppressing the bitter smile that was about to overflow.

When he looked up again, he was as gentle and calm as before.

"Okay, don't worry. I'm helping you only out of our childhood friendship and to repay my mentor. I have no other intentions. You don't need to worry, and don't feel pressured."

After he finished speaking, Chen Qingyin seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

"I'll go see how Linlang has prepared. Your Excellency, please stay for a moment and have dinner later."

Chen Qingyin left in a hurry.

Ning Guanzhou clenched the teacup with his slender fingers and sat there, motionless, like a stone statue.

After a while, a faint sigh escaped from his thin lips.

Hu Mianmian ran around in the alley with Youyou.

The house they lived in was surrounded by wealthy businessmen and wealthy families.

Every time he ran past a door, the little guy would stop to look at their door plaques and see what color the luck coming out of the house was. If it was gold, Hu Mianmian would say to Youyou: "This family is about to have great fortune, Youyou, if you see their family, you should take a detour."

Yoyo rubbed his paws and said, "I don't steal from them. Is this the smell of good fortune? It's like the fragrance of flowers!"

There are also people whose homes are filled with gray luck.

Hu Mianmian shook her head and said, "Within half a month, their family will definitely lose a lot of money, and a lot of it!"

Yoyo hugged her tail tightly: "I want to stay away from this family."

Suddenly, Yoyo pointed to a house with closed doors behind.

"Princess Mianmian, look! There's dark energy coming out of this house!"

Hu Mianmian looked up and saw that it was true.

The gate was decorated in a very luxurious and majestic manner, but the black air rising from inside looked like smoke from a fire.

But ordinary people certainly can't see it.

Hu Mianmian scratched her face with her little hand: "I heard that the black air means that someone in this mansion is about to die."

Yoyo has spent a lot of time in the mortal world and has seen a lot, so he kept shaking his head.

"It means that one is about to die, but it also means that there is a monster causing trouble and sucking people's energy! This black mist is emitted by it, Princess Mianmian, it looks like there is a powerful monster inside, let's go quickly..."

After Yoyo finished speaking, he stared at the house over there and stretched out his claws backwards, trying to grab Hu Mianmian and run away together.

However, it caught nothing.

He turned his head and looked, his eyes widened: "Princess Mianmian! You can't go in, it's dangerous!"

Hu Mianmian had already climbed up the wall with a whoosh.

"If you don't watch the excitement, you're a fool. Come on, Yoyo, let's see what's going on together!" Hu Mianmian, who had stood up, turned around and waved her little hand.

Suddenly, Yoyo felt a force pressing against its back, pushing it upwards.

Hu Mianmian picked it up in her hand and jumped lightly into the yard.

The black air was so thick that it almost covered my eyes.

Hu Mianmian waved her hand, and the golden light bounced away, dispersing the black air around her.

The Yoyo in her hand was shaking uncontrollably.

"Princess Mian Mian, I have practiced Taoism for a hundred years, but the closer I get to this place, the more scared I feel. The monsters inside must be stronger than me!"

"Besides, the man-eating monsters are training faster and more ferocious. Let's run away."

Hu Mianmian's feet moved faster: "Run? No way, a man-eating monster like this will come out and continue to eat the people around it when it becomes powerful."

"We live nearby with my mother. How can we let such a dangerous creature stay here? We must kill it today."

Yoyo couldn't help but get excited when she heard the little fellow say the most ferocious words in a soft voice.

"Okay, fine...then we have to proceed carefully."

As soon as it finished speaking, Hu Mianmian heard the sound of many people crying coming from the main courtyard not far away.

The little guy immediately ran over, and Yoyo said anxiously, "Princess Mianmian! Shouldn't we keep a low profile? It will be troublesome if someone sees us!"

Hu Mianmian didn't want to listen to it and she ran straight into the main courtyard.

But I found out that there was going to be a funeral here.

Countless people were standing in the courtyard, hugging each other and crying, and no one noticed her passing by.

When I pushed open the door, I saw several young men and women standing inside. The old man lying on the couch had a deathly pale face and was breathing weakly.

The doctor sitting beside the couch shook his head and said, "Prepare for the funeral."

As he finished speaking, everyone in the room knelt down, prostrated themselves on the ground and cried.

Shouting: "Dad——!"

Hu Mianmian blinked her big eyes: "Why are you crying? He is not completely dead yet."

The people in the room were startled and looked up. They were stunned to see the strange little girl in front of them. She was pink and cute.

"Whose child is this? How did he get in? Take him out now!"
