The beautiful woman in the quick transmigration novel has been targeted by the male lead again.

It must be that man who just brushed past her!

He bumped into her as he entered and said sorry. Chang Ning, being good-natured, didn't hold it against him, but she never expected that he was a pickpocket!

Chang Ning cried all the way back. This was even more painful than when the old lady said she would beat her to death a few days ago. After all, she had survived then, but now her money was really gone.

Oh oh oh!

Chang Ning was anxious and restless all afternoon, and was still depressed by evening, feeling that today was the unluckiest day of her life.

Why aren't you eating?

Shen Yanzheng came again, as if entering his own bedroom, and turned the person who was lying on the bed like a hermit, asking, "Aren't you hungry?"

Chang Ning turned her face away from him, looking like she was throwing a tantrum. She hadn't eaten lunch or dinner, and was so angry that she had no appetite.

Shen Yanzheng clicked his tongue: "It's just some silver, it's gone if it's gone."

Why worry so much about something, even neglecting your own health?

Chang Ning was even angrier after hearing this. "A well-fed man doesn't know the hunger of a starving man. You make it sound so easy. Is that a little bit of silver?"

What's the difference between that and digging out her heart or liver?

She writhed on the bed like a caterpillar. Shen Yanzheng's eyes darkened, and he reached out and slapped her buttocks before picking her up in his arms.

Chang Ning immediately started jumping around in his arms like a fish, "What are you doing!"

How annoying! Can't you see that I'm in a bad mood?

Shen Yanzheng picked her up and sat her down at the table. "Didn't you want some snacks?"

He was out of his mind. When he returned home and heard about what had happened that day, and that the beautiful woman was making a fuss and refusing to eat, he specially sent someone to Xiangmanlou.

Various snacks were lined up on the table, their rich aroma filling the air. They were also beautifully presented. Chang Ning hadn't had any appetite just now, but now her stomach was rumbling.

She shifted slightly in Shen Yanzheng's arms and said in dissatisfaction, "Hey, put me down!"

"Eat it like this."

Shen Yanzheng wouldn't let go, pressing her firmly onto his lap, and stubbornly picked up a piece of pastry and fed it to her mouth: "Ah—, open your mouth."

Feeling awkward, as if being fed a child, Chang Ning ate the pastry with a flushed face.

The pastry melted in her mouth, smooth and soft, leaving a lingering fragrance. Chang Ning's eyes lit up: "Delicious!"

It truly lives up to its reputation as a top brand in Beijing!

Shen Yanzheng didn't think this stuff was particularly delicious; it was only women who liked it. However, he was enjoying the feeling of being fed. "If you like it, I'll buy it again next time."

Chang Ning suddenly thought of what happened today, and pouted, "How come there are still thieves in the capital? Can we catch that thief?"

"Why are you still thinking about this? How about I make it up to you tenfold later?"

“That’s different!” Chang Ning said. “Even if you compensate me a hundredfold, it’s still not the original amount of silver!”

"You're quite sentimental." Shen Yanzheng poured her a cup of tea and fed her. "Drink some water."

He added, "I'll send people to look for him and see if they can catch the thief."

Chang Ning puffed up her cheeks after hearing this, unable to contain her joy, and picked up a piece of pastry to feed him: "You eat too!"

Shen Yanzheng smiled and, as she wished, bit her finger as he took the pastry, which drew her dissatisfaction and complaints. He then simply covered her mouth with his tongue.

Before long, Chang Ning leaned against him, panting, her cheeks flushed, her eyes watery, and her slender, white neck close to his face.

Shen Yanzheng couldn't resist kissing him, saying as he did so, "The capital isn't as peaceful as you think. Try not to leave the manor unless absolutely necessary. If you need anything, have Tongchun and Tongxia handle it, understand?"

Chang Ning grumbled and asked, "Does that mean I have to stay in the mansion forever and never go out?"

She was unaware that many young ladies and wives from wealthy and powerful families rarely left their homes. She was used to being wild in the village, and staying indoors would suffocate her.

Shen Yanzheng said, "I'll take you out when I have time."

Chang Ning was disgruntled, feeling that what he said made no sense. Their relationship was already ambiguous, and it was fine in the mansion, as they could keep it a secret. But now he was saying he would take her out? Had he lost his mind?

Chang Ning thought for a moment and asked, "Then what will you do when you get married in the future?"

The Marquis's mansion, though large, actually had only a few masters. The Second Master had already passed away, and the only real masters were the Marquis and the Old Madam. Chang Ning was barely considered a related person.

The Marquis is currently a bachelor, but he cannot remain unmarried forever. Even in the countryside, let alone as a nobleman's son, there is no such logic. If you don't marry, people will gossip about you!

Upon hearing this, Shen Yanzheng suddenly laughed, picked her up, and walked towards the inner room. Once there, he threw her onto the bed and then pressed himself against her, saying, "What should we do? What do you suggest we do?"

"How about I cheat on you with you every day after I get married?"

"what?"

Chang Ning's clothes were ripped open by him, and she screamed as she pinched and kicked him, "Are you crazy?"

Shen Yanzheng chuckled, letting her experience firsthand whether he had gone mad.

The lights flickered all night, and Changning didn't wake up until noon the next day. She felt weak all over with the slightest movement, and she lay in bed grumbling.

Suddenly her hand touched something hard. She took it out and looked at it. Her heart pounded. What was this?

They were two gold ingots the size of fists!

gold!

Chang Ning felt like she was dreaming. She held one in each hand, and they were heavy and substantial. Was this the tenfold compensation that Shen Yanzheng had mentioned? Please do this kind of thing more often!

Who wouldn't love something so bright yellow!

Chang Ning's depression and misery vanished instantly, and she was in high spirits for several days. She even asked Tong Chun to help her find a box to store the gold ingots, and hid the key in a place that only she knew.

Silver ingots didn't receive this treatment before.

It was the season when lotus flowers were in full bloom. Tong Xia picked a few lotus flowers, put them in a bottle, and placed them in the bedroom. Chang Ning even had the mood to admire the lotus flowers under the moon at night.

Indeed, once people become wealthy, everything seems beautiful!

She recited a line of poetry she had heard before: "A tiny lotus bud just begins to show its pointed tip..."

I can't remember the next sentence at all.

"puff!"

A laugh reached my ears; there was a stranger in the room!

Chang Ning opened her eyes wide.

"Hey, stop yelling!"

The stranger, a young man, covered her mouth, saying, "I'll let you go, but please don't scream!"

Chang Ning blinked and nodded.

As soon as he let go, he shouted, "You're the thief who stole my silver!"

"Ancestor, keep your voice down!"

The man tried to cover her mouth again, but Chang Ning slapped the hand away and looked at him warily: "Who are you? What are you doing here?"

"Here, I've returned the silver to you."

The man pulled out a purse, the very one Chang Ning had lost. "I saw you crying all the way home that day, it was so pitiful."

He then took out a package wrapped in oil paper: "I brought you some snacks as an apology!"
