Ten percent of the Han family's wealth was used to support the original owner, and the remaining ninety percent of the profits were sent to the Zhenbei Army, providing them with winter clothing, food, and wages. In the event of a war, additional pensions were given to the impoverished families of fallen soldiers. Although the court provided pensions, the amount was too small to solve the problem for poor families. Doubling or tripling the amount would make a difference. Many families could use this money to buy land and houses, improving their plight.

Wen Wan said to the jewelry shop manager, "Uncle Hu, if there are any outstanding payments from the Ningyuan Marquisate over the years, we need to sort them out and take the account books to collect them. We should say that they don't owe the Han family, but pensions for the fallen soldiers of the Zhenbei Army."

To list a few people whose families are in financial difficulty, the military pension is divided into three levels: ordinary, difficult, and extremely difficult.

"The money we receive will be given to Mr. Gongsun to provide relief to the families of the fallen warriors who are in extremely difficult circumstances, to help them overcome their difficult times."

If they want to drag it out, Wen Wan will not be polite.

Hu San was the manager of a jewelry shop. He was an orphan who was sent to serve in the army by his clan. He later developed a series of hidden illnesses. At that time, he was serving as a personal guard under the general. Seeing his illness, the general allowed him to return home early and even asked the general's wife to help him find a wife.

His wife was virtuous and kind, and although life at home wasn't exactly prosperous, it was decent enough, far better than when he was at the border. He had seen the hardships of the soldiers at the border, and after becoming the shop manager, he was very dedicated and responsible, raising his three children to be kind and obedient.

Hu San went twice with his account book and his men to collect the money, but he didn't even see any of the Cui family's wives. Instead, he was scolded twice by the maids around Li and Mrs. Cui. They kept saying, "We have raised your young lady for more than ten years. Even if she has no merit, she has worked hard. We have to ask for the money for the jewelry back. Do you have any shame?"

Hu San was very angry and said what Wen Wan said, but he couldn't see his master, so it was the maid who came to scold him.

When Maizi and Douzi heard about it, they told Wen Wan immediately.

Wen Wan was annoyed when she heard this. "It's not those maids who are arrogant. This is Li's method. Li is good at making trouble."

Mei Zi has always been the oldest and most talented of the four maids. Her origins have always been a mystery. She is now in her twenties. Nanny Lian had told her earlier that she should get married. Anyway, there are not many real slaves in the general's mansion. Most of them are good people who come to the Han Mansion voluntarily and serve in the Han Mansion voluntarily.

Just like Wu Qi, Shi Da, Gongsun Dan and others, the only real household slaves were the family of Han the steward, but they had been with them since their ancestors, and no indentures had been seen. It was said that they were also good citizens, but their ancestors had an agreement with the ancestors of the General's Mansion. Of the three sons of Han the steward, except for the eldest son who was weak and stayed by his side, the other two sons all served in the Zhenbei Army.

After nightfall, Wen Wan saw that Nanny Lian, Mei Zi and the others were all fast asleep, so she tiptoed to her feet, changed into her nightgown and went out. As a result, as soon as she slipped out of the side door, she saw Shi Da and Xu Liu in the alley.

Shi Da asked in a low voice: "Niece Qingwan, why are you not sleeping in the middle of the night and sneaking out of the house?"

Wen Wan looked up at the sky. She thought she was very good at martial arts and hadn't alerted anyone when she came out, so how could she be targeted? "Today is a dark moon with few stars and a strong night wind. It's the perfect time to enjoy the cool breeze and cool down. I came out to enjoy the breeze and help digest my food."

Dressed like this, he comes out to digest food and fool ghosts.

Wen Wan bent down and tried to slip away, but Xu Liu grabbed her by the scruff of the neck. "Your martial arts skills have improved recently, but you've also become quite timid. You didn't even tell me what you were going out for, and you still wanted to slip away from under our noses."

"Uncle Xu, put it down, put it down. I'm a grown-up girl, I need to save face. You're twisting me like a little chicken, it's so embarrassing. Put it down now."

Xu Liu felt embarrassed, he forgot that these were not his own naughty boys.

Wen Wan smiled flatteringly, "I just ran into Miss Cui going to the jewelry shop in the General's Mansion during the day and trying to get some jewelry for free. They have been owed money in the shop for several years. Uncle Hu has gone to collect the money twice, but the lady hasn't been seen. Every time I go, I get scolded by the servants of the Cui family.

The person who owes the debt has become the king. It is only natural to pay for things you buy, but he actually curses people. What kind of law is this?

Everyone in the Cui family is living a life of luxury. Is this money from our Great General's Mansion? This money is to be sent to the Zhenbei Army to support the families of the fallen soldiers in extreme poverty. Every penny is a life-saving gift.

If you dare to owe us money, I will go there tonight to seek justice."

Shi laughed.

Xu Liu was a little tempted, "What if you, a little kid, get caught?"

"Uncle Shi, Uncle Xu, I'll be careful. I guarantee they won't be able to catch me..." Wen Wan said as she moved towards the alley entrance. When she was about ten feet away from them, she ran for her life with both legs spread out.

Xu Liu said, "Let's go."

Shi Da sighed softly, "The Han family only has this one child. Even though she's a girl, we watched her grow up. I wouldn't feel at ease if I didn't watch over her for the general and the lieutenant general. So, follow her."

Wen Wan took advantage of the pitch-black night to sneak into the Ningyuan Marquis's mansion. She first went to the Marquis's wife's private vault and emptied it completely. Finally, she went to the Crown Prince's wife's room and emptied it as well. Then she went to Madam Cui's private vault...

After the private warehouse was moved, even the public warehouse of Ningyuan Marquis Mansion was not spared.

As daybreak approached, she came out and heard the watchdog discover she had climbed over the wall. She was climbing the wall, and the dog was standing at the bottom of the wall looking at her.

Damn, luckily she recognized the dog and had fed it bones a few times before.

Hush

"You idiot, I've fed you before, so it's not fair for you to chase me and bite me now."

Woof! Woof woof——

Wen Wan cursed: "You heartless dead dog!"

She jumped to the other side and ran ahead.

From behind, the voice of the servant guarding the large warehouse came: "Oh no! There's a thief! The warehouse has been robbed!"

Wen Wan was not stupid. She did not dare to run towards the direction of the General's Mansion. She turned a few corners and heard the dogs barking in the streets. She felt embarrassed and ran in the direction of the Xianwang Mansion. She climbed over the wall and entered the Xianwang Mansion. As soon as she landed on the ground, she met a maid who had just gotten up to urinate and was pulling up her pants. She covered her mouth with her hand and said, "Don't bark!"

When the maid heard the voice, she said, "I was wondering who it was. It turned out to be Miss Han!"

It's over. This is such a bad year. I finally got the chance to be a thief, but someone recognized me just by the voice.

Wen Wan let go of her hand and said, "Madam, please be kind. I went to the Cui family to ask for the pension for the fallen soldiers, but was caught by the Cui family's dog and alarmed everyone. Madam, I need to find a place to hide first."

She dodged and ran inside, not knowing the directions: Xiaojiu, give me a map of Prince Xian's mansion quickly, so I can find a safe place to put the stolen things. In the end, no one in the mansion will use them and no one will find out.
