Dad, open the door. I'll bring your mistress back for you.

"Once the bank goes bankrupt, won't all the money be wasted?" Shen Chuning asked with a puzzled look on her face.

Wang Mier, however, looked as if she had heard an extremely absurd joke, with a cunning glint in her eyes. "How could it possibly go bankrupt? This is the Third Prince's property! If the Third Prince can successfully ascend to the throne in the future, then our money will be equivalent to being stored in the national treasury. Moreover, this Hengfu Bank is spread all over Dayong. It consumes such huge manpower, material resources and financial resources to operate. How could it be possible that it is just to cheat us out of this little money.

Shen Chuning was speechless for a moment, secretly marveling at Cui Shi's ability to deceive people.

Moreover, even if this bank was opened by the Third Prince, and even if the Third Prince finally sat on the supreme throne as he wished, how could the money in the bank be mixed with the money in the national treasury?

One person may not have much money, but when added together, it becomes an extremely large number.

Shen Chuning just sighed helplessly, slowly said "It's better to be careful", and then took a step forward and continued to move forward.

However, she was thinking that she must find a suitable time to have a good talk with Cui Shi about the money house matter, so as not to let things get out of hand.

There is really nothing worth visiting in Fuping City. The scale of those shops is not even comparable to that of an ordinary small county town.

Shen Chuning asked softly, "If we can't go out to sea, can we go for a walk on the beach?"

Wang Mier looked troubled, and after a moment's hesitation, she said, "But the seashore is the navy's training ground."

Shen Chuning helplessly smoothed her hair, which was a little messy due to the wind. "Forget it if it's inconvenient. When I was in the capital, I could bring people into the palace. I thought that in Fuping, the family of the prefect Wang could also come and go freely. It turns out that I thought too simply."

Wang Mier's eyes lit up instantly after hearing Shen Chuning's words. She asked expectantly, "Sister Chuning, you can actually bring people into the palace? Isn't it said that the palace is heavily guarded?"

Seeing how easily she could be fooled, Shen Chuning chuckled inwardly, but she still replied seriously, "The strict security only applies to other people. My great-aunt is the current empress dowager, and I used to be a companion to the princess in the palace. If I want to bring someone into the palace, it shouldn't be a piece of cake."

Wang Mier's eyes lit up when she heard this. She grabbed Shen Chuning's arm tightly and said excitedly, "If I ever have the chance to go to the capital, Sister Chuning, you must take me to the palace to have a look. I really want to see with my own eyes what the legendary imperial palace looks like."

Shen Chuning didn't answer her, but said, "There's nothing to see anymore, let's go back."

After she finished speaking, she walked towards the prefectural government office.

At this time, Wang Mier was anxious. She took two quick steps to catch up with Shen Chuning, "Sister Chuning, don't you want to go for a walk on the beach? I'll take you there."

Shen Chuning: "Didn't you say that the seashore in Fuping waters has been cordoned off by the navy as a training ground, making it inconvenient to go there?"

Wang Mier showed a shy look on her face. "My brother-in-law is the son of the navy commander. Besides, you are just walking around the beach, not going out to sea on a boat."

She was shy when she talked about her brother-in-law. Shen Chuning frowned slightly, thinking that this was another story of a sister-in-law falling in love with her brother-in-law. She just didn't know what the brother-in-law thought of his sister-in-law.

Along the way, the carriage moved slowly forward, and the scenery along the way quickly passed by the window.

When the carriage arrived at the gate of the military camp, it was stopped by the soldiers guarding the gate, which made Shen Chuning feel nervous.

However, the maid beside Wang Mier was not afraid at all. She stepped forward to talk to the soldier guarding the gate. After a few words, the soldier let her pass.

The carriage continued to move forward, getting closer and closer to the seaside.

Shen Chuning could feel the salty and humid air in the air, which was the unique smell of the sea.

The carriage finally stopped at the seaside, and what appeared before them was a vast and boundless ocean.

The waves hit the rocks on the shore, making a roaring sound.

Wang Mier raised her head slightly and said softly, "We can only move around in this specific area. Even if my father comes in person, he is absolutely not allowed to set foot in other places."

Shen Chuning nodded seriously, a look of understanding on her face. "I understand. This is a military secret. I've never seen the ocean in person, so I really want to come to the beach and take a look. I won't run around."

When Wang Mier heard that Shen Chuning had never seen the sea, she suddenly felt an inexplicable sympathy in her heart.

As Shen Chuning looked at the vast empty beach in front of her, she couldn't help but feel regretful. It would be great if she could use this entire beach to dry salt. How much money she could earn.

At this moment, Shen Chuning keenly noticed that a small boat was slowly approaching the shore not far away. There were only four people sitting on the boat, and their figures seemed a little blurry in the afterglow of the setting sun.

Shen Chuning looked at the small boat in front of her with confusion. She originally thought that the ships in the military camp, whether used for combat or transportation, must be huge ones that can accommodate hundreds of people.

The small boat could only carry a few people, and its ability to withstand wind and waves was even more worrying. It was really unreasonable for such a boat to appear in the military camp.

She asked Wang Mi'er, but Wang Mi'er just shook her head. "This kind of ship is indeed not very common in daily training. This is the second time I've seen it. Maybe it's a spy ship?"

Shen Chuning listened to Wang Mier's guess, but still had doubts in her heart.

Because of the various terrains and obstructions on land, spies are needed to gather information on the enemy's military intelligence.

But on this endless sea, everything is clearly visible in all directions, so why would we need such a small boat as a spy?

At this moment, Shen Chuning's gaze involuntarily turned to the four people who got off the boat.

They were dressed in neat military uniforms, with steady and powerful steps, and looked like ordinary soldiers.

However, the next moment, Shen Chuning's eyes suddenly narrowed slightly, and she keenly noticed that there were two women in that group of people!
