After being read, the abstinent prince bullies others with his wife every day
Chapter 136 Vanished
Lin Shuning's heart sank instantly. She touched her waist again and again in disbelief. After confirming that there was really nothing, she stood up suddenly, with a layer of cold sweat on her body.
I searched the ground and the yard, but found nothing.
Lin Shuning was so frightened that he could hardly stand. His hands and feet were weak, and the objects in front of him were distorted. It seemed as if he was going to faint in the next second.
One thousand taels of gold!
That's one thousand taels of gold!
She worked so hard to earn this money, and just lost it like that? Lost it?!
"Miss, why are you not sleeping at night? What are you looking for here?"
Lian Er heard the noise outside and was startled to see Lin Shuning's pale face. She quickly went up to support her: "Miss, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"
"Lian'er, hurry, hurry," Lin Shuning almost choked, "Help me find it, my purse is missing, and the silver note for one thousand taels of gold that you exchanged for me is in it. It must have fallen somewhere, help me find it!"
"One... one thousand taels of gold?! Lost?!"
Lian Er was obviously shocked, but seeing Lin Shuning's distraught look, she felt so distressed that she comforted him, "Don't worry, Miss. I will go find her right away and will definitely find her back."
Lin Shuning looked at Lian'er's back as she ran away, sat down weakly on the steps, and stroked his forehead in annoyance.
When she was at Prince Rui's Mansion, she should have put it directly into the space, so that such troublesome things would not have happened.
"Ye Mu, Ye Mu, are you there?!" Lin Shuning shouted towards the inky black sky.
A figure walked out from the darkness and knelt on one knee in front of Lin Shuning: "Miss Third, what do you want me to do?"
"My purse is lost. It may be lost on the road or in the Rui Palace. Could you please help me find the Rui Palace? No need to look for it on the road. I will find a way on the road."
Ye Mu looked at her steadily and shook his head: "The master has left the capital, and there is no one in the Rui Palace now."
"So fast?!"
Lin Shuning felt a sense of loss, but it was quickly washed away by the loss of one thousand taels of gold. She reluctantly grabbed Ye Mu's hand and said, "What about you climbing over the wall? Aren't you one of his trusted people?"
Ye Mu shook his head: "Once the Lord leaves the capital, the Rui Palace will be guarded by powerful dead servants, and no one will be allowed to approach, not even me.
But Miss San, you don't have to worry. If it really fell in the Rui Wang Mansion, no one can take it away. Outsiders can't get in. After the master comes back, Miss San will go and look for it."
Lin Shuning's eyes lit up: "Will your master come back? When will he come back?"
Ye Mu was about to speak, but when the words came to his lips, he realized that he had just said the wrong thing, and lowered his eyes and said in silence: "I... don't know."
"He won't never come back, will he? My one thousand taels of gold!" Lin Shuning's eyes dimmed instantly and his tone was desperate.
Ye Mu looked at her quietly without saying a word, but his hands were restlessly buttoning his sleeves, as if he had done something wrong.
Lin Shuning buried her head in her knees in frustration, breathing heavily in an attempt to calm herself down. After a long silence, she raised her head and waved her hand: "Ye Mu, you go down first."
"Miss San, are you okay?"
Ye Mu looked at her pale face worriedly and almost couldn't help but tell her the truth.
"I'm fine. I'll look for it again." Lin Shuning forced a bitter smile, stood up with the support of his knees, and walked into the house with unsteady steps.
She half leaned against the door and urged urgently: "Xiaobai, quickly transform and help me find where the purse is lost."
If Ye Mu and Lian'er hadn't been there, Xiaobai would have been unable to hold back and would have rushed out of the space. He let out a "wow" and rushed out on his four short legs.
Lin Shuning was not idle either. He checked the house carefully again. After finding nothing, he started thinking and analyzing again.
She came back in a carriage, so it's impossible for her to fall on the road.
After she came back, she never went out. If she didn't find it in the palace, it was very likely that it really fell in Prince Rui's palace.
After all, if it was picked up by other people in the Shangshu Mansion, such a large-denomination silver bill would definitely reveal clues.
What's more, Xiaobai is here. Xiaobai is familiar with her scent and it is impossible for him not to smell it.
Thinking of this, Lin Shuning was no longer in a hurry. She picked up the teacup and took a sip to moisten her throat which was a little dry due to her anxiety, and waited patiently for Lian'er and Xiaobai to come back.
The man and the dog came back one after the other.
When Lian Er rushed into the house breathlessly, she saw a brown and white dog crawling at her mistress's feet. She was startled and immediately picked up a broom and hit Xiao Bai: "Where did this stray dog come from? It actually came into the house! Go, go, get out quickly!"
As she drove the dog away, she turned her head and looked at Lin Shuning: "Miss, are you okay? Were you not scared by the dog?"
Before Lin Shuning could say anything, Xiaobai started barking wildly, looking at Lian'er with bared teeth and letting out bursts of low growls.
But Lian'er was not afraid at all and hit the dog on the head with a broom.
Xiaobai whimpered, and his body shook in disbelief.
He, he, he was hit on the head with a broom by a mortal? ?
Seeing this, Lin Shuning quickly squeezed in between the man and the dog and tried to smooth things over: "Lian'er, don't be impulsive. This is not a stray dog. This is my...my own dog. Yes, my own dog."
Lin Shuning smiled and pretended not to notice the sad look Xiaobai gave her.
"Miss, you have a dog? How come I never knew about it?" Lian'er was a little surprised and put the broom beside her back to its original place.
"It's free-range. I usually feed it when I go out. I called it here today to ask it to help look for the purse. Unfortunately, it didn't find it." Lin Shuning changed the subject and said, "How is it? Did you find it?"
Lian Er shook her head in disappointment: "I carefully searched all the routes you must take to come back, even the front door, but still couldn't find it."
Lin Shuning sighed: "Then it must have fallen into the Prince Rui's mansion. Well, I'll just treat it as a stored fixed asset. I'll go find it as soon as Prince Rui comes back!"
She deliberately raised her voice, as if trying to make up for her uncertainty with the volume.
Before Jiang Yu left, he said that he would never return to the capital. If that was true, wouldn't she never be able to get her one thousand taels of gold back?
Thinking of this, Lin Shuning was almost on the verge of collapse and despair.
She still had to think of some way to sneak into Prince Rui's mansion and get her money back.
"Miss, don't worry. His Royal Highness Prince Rui is of noble status and elegant. If he finds it, he will definitely return it to you. It is better than dropping it on the road and being picked up by someone else." Lian'er looked at Lin Shuning's still ugly face and comforted her in a low voice.
Lin Shuning nodded with a complicated expression: "You go back and rest first."
"Then Miss, you should also go to bed early." Lian'er tiptoed out.
It was a sleepless night.
That night, Lin Shuning tossed and turned but couldn't fall asleep. As soon as he closed his eyes, his mind was filled with the image of Jiang Yu leaving with his one thousand taels of gold.
Feelings of loss and depression came over him, but Lin Shuning's mind was a mess and he couldn't figure out why.
It was not until the second half of the night that she took a short nap.
The next morning, the house was gray and even the bedding was chilly. When Lian'er entered the house to put down the charcoal basin, snowflakes jumped in half of the room, wetting the ground thinly.
Lin Shuning rested her head on her jade-like arms, a hint of hope appeared on her face, and she asked, "Is it snowing?"
"It's snowing, young lady," Lian'er said with a smile, adding some charcoal to the fire with a dustpan, "It has been many years since we have had snow here. This year, the weather is cold, and the snow is falling especially early. It's still autumn, and the maids and guards in the mansion are very excited. They are all playing outside now. Do you want to go out and take a look, young lady?"
"I won't go. I didn't sleep well last night and I'm very tired." Lin Shuning yawned, "Open the window so I can see the snow."
The windows were opened, and plum blossom-like snowflakes kept falling from the silver-blue sky. The flowers and trees in the yard had already been covered with a layer of snow, and from a distance they looked like snow sculptures.
It was the first time that Lin Shuning saw snow with his own eyes.
In her previous life, she lived in the south, and her long-cherished wish was to see snow with her own eyes. Unexpectedly, this wish would come true in an era that did not belong to her.
Lin Shuning watched almost obsessively, not noticing at all that Lian'er, who had left, had come back.
"Miss, you need to pack up quickly. The palace just sent a letter."
