Yan Qing went to a pawnshop called Desheng Pawnshop.

She looked around. This place was remote and sparsely populated, and was indeed suitable for doing some shameful things.

In her previous life, after she married into the Wu'an Marquis Mansion, her dowry was also embezzled, but at that time it was Yan Tan and Li's mother and daughter who conspired to embezzle her dowry.

But in this life, Lu Wenhuan was sent to Jingzhao Prefecture by her, and Li had a conflict with Yan Tan, so she would not easily collude with Yan Tan.

She was still worried that Yan Tan wouldn't be able to move.

Unexpectedly, Madam Zhen asked Xueqin to go to the General's Mansion to ask for money yesterday, which gave her a good opportunity.

Early this morning, Yan Qing asked Qingluan to inquire at various pawnshops, and sure enough, Yan Tan had asked the maid to leave the house last night.

Presumably because Xueqin failed to get the money from her, Madam Zhen set her sights on her dowry.

Do you think she forgot her dowry?

Little did she know that it was the knife she left for Yan Tan.

In her previous life, Yan Tan pretended to be pitiful and weak to win the favor of everyone in the Wu'an Marquis Mansion. She often boasted in front of her about how close her mother-in-law Li was to her and how much her sister-in-law Wen Huan trusted her.

She felt at home in the Marquis's Mansion and lived a carefree life.

But she was seriously ill and had a hard time living!

Since that's the case, then let Yan Tan experience the difficult life she had in her previous life in this life...

"Miss, what do you want to pawn?" The pawnshop waiter came out immediately when he saw Yan Qing and the others.

"Call your shopkeeper out."

Yan Qing sat down on the chair and said calmly, "I have important business to discuss with him."

The waiter saw that she was dressed richly and did not look like someone who came to pawn something, so he immediately went in and called the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper recognized Yan Qing immediately and politely asked, "I wonder what brought Second Miss Yan here?"

Yan Qing smiled and said, "The wind of making money."

"Oh?"

The shopkeeper immediately asked the waiter to serve tea.

This Miss Yan Er has recently become the most talked about person in the teahouses and taverns in Beijing.

He has heard it a lot.

Especially the gambling incident between Miss Yan Er and Gongsun Zhi, the owner of Fugui Casino, caused a sensation in the entire capital!

Gongsun Zhi is notoriously difficult to deal with.

The man whom the King of Qi and the King of Li could not handle was actually won over by a little girl! Not only did she make Gongsun Zhi recognize her as her master, but she also got a huge gambling house for free. How could she not be jealous?

The shopkeeper personally poured tea for Yan Qing and said with a rolling eye, "To be honest, Second Miss Yan, I love the wind the most, especially the wind that makes money. I wonder if Second Miss Yan..."

"I've lost a few things recently."

"?"

The shopkeeper looked bewildered.

Shouldn't you report a lost item to the police? Why are you coming to this little pawnshop?

Yan Qing blew the tea leaves in the cup and said calmly, "I heard that the shopkeeper has received some new goods recently?"

The shopkeeper subconsciously looked at the waiter: "Have you received any new goods recently?"

The waiter said, "Boss, someone brought a silver filigree vase to pawn last night. I saw the exquisite workmanship and decided to take it."

"What my young lady lost was a silver filigree vase!"

As soon as Luzhi finished speaking, the shopkeeper's expression changed. He looked at Yan Qing and asked, "What do you mean, Miss Yan?"

Yan Qing drank tea calmly.

Qing Luan said coldly from behind her, "This silver filigree vase is extremely rare. When my young lady got married, the old lady in the general's mansion had it specially made. It's made of thick square silver wires welded together to form the base, and then rolled with round silver wires to create a floral pattern. It cost a thousand taels of silver in total. There's only one like it in Kyoto. It was stolen yesterday. I didn't expect it to be here with the shopkeeper!"

The shopkeeper laughed and said, "Although the silver filigree vase is rare, it's a bit far-fetched for Miss Yan to say it's yours..."

Yan Qing finally spoke, "My grandmother was afraid that this vase would be too conspicuous and attract covetous attention, so she specially engraved my name on the silver plate at the bottom of the vase. Shopkeeper, please take a look."

At this time, the waiter had already taken out the silver filigree vase.

The shopkeeper could tell at a glance that this vase was not something an ordinary family could own. He took it with both hands and looked at the bottom of the vase.

There were indeed words on the bottom of the bottle: Qing.

The shopkeeper looked at the waiter with hidden anger: "Who pawned this?"

The waiter shrank back and said, "Okay, it seems to be someone from the Wu'an Marquis Mansion..."

The shopkeeper was also a smart man. He understood what was going on after a little thought. Yan Qing had just divorced Master Lu, and her dowry was probably still in the Marquis of Wu'an's Mansion, but somehow it was pawned by someone in the Marquis of Wu'an's Mansion.

"So it really is Miss Yan's stuff!"

The shopkeeper immediately smiled and said to Yan Qing, "How about this, this silver filigree vase was pawned for three hundred taels of silver. If Miss Yan wants to take it back, just give me three hundred taels. I won't make any money from Miss Yan, hahaha..."

Yan Qing glanced at him and suddenly said, "Report to the police."

"okay!"

Luzhi suddenly walked out: "I will go find the master of Jingzhao Mansion..."

"Oh no, no, no!"

Hearing that Yan Qing was going to report him to the authorities, the shopkeeper panicked instantly. Common people like them were most afraid of dealing with the government. If someone saw an official coming to his shop, who would dare to pawn anything there in the future?

The shopkeeper gritted his teeth and suddenly thrust the silver filigree vase into Yan Qing's hands, saying bitterly, "Since it's Second Miss Yan's, you can take it back. As for the three hundred taels... just consider it as making a friend of yours!"

Yan Qing finally put down the teacup.

She slowly stood up, took a bag of silver from Qingluan and handed it to the shopkeeper, smiling gently: "Shopkeeper, you are joking. I said that I came to discuss business with you, and I will not let you suffer any loss."

The shopkeeper opened the purse and counted it, there were exactly five hundred taels!

"This……"

"Three hundred taels is the silver you pawned, and the other two hundred taels is my commission to you."

Without waiting for the shopkeeper to ask, Yan Qing said slowly: "From now on, if someone comes to the Wu'an Marquis's Mansion to pawn something, just accept it and have someone send it to the General's Mansion to collect the reward."

The shopkeeper lowered his head in thought.

Does Miss Yan mean that she paid him to collect the items from the Marquis of Wu'an's Mansion and also gave him a reward?

Is there such a good thing?

Three hundred taels would give me a two hundred tael reward, so if it's five hundred taels...

"certainly……"

Just as the shopkeeper was daydreaming, Yan Qingqing's cold voice interrupted him: "The lower the pawn price, the higher your reward will be. If it's a high price, hmph!"

Qingluan said: "Then our young lady will report to the authorities."

"Yes Yes Yes!"

The shopkeeper was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat.

With the support of the General's Mansion, he couldn't afford to offend this master even if he didn't report to the authorities.

After giving instructions to the shopkeeper, Yan Qing left the pawnshop with Qingluan and Lvzhi.

It was already dark by this time.

Colorful lanterns had already been hung on the streets of Twelve Lanes, lighting up the night sky like pearls.

Luzhi exclaimed: "Miss, you are so beautiful!"

Yan Qing didn't expect that the night market in Twelve Lanes would be even more lively than during the day.

She smiled and was about to look away when she suddenly saw a familiar figure.
