Ning Xiaoyao’s eyes crinkled into a sreat to be praised~
The horse cart headed towards the north of the city, crisscrossing through streets and alleys and even over six separate bridges Finally, it entered into a long, narrow lane Oil Jar glanced at the lane and said, ”This is Fragrant Gauze Alley Xiaoyao, Oil Lamp lives around here”
The horse cart stopped before the third house on the left Ning Xiaoyao recalled that Oil Lamp had told her this here the head steward of the Xie Clan, Xie Laibao, kept his lover The ainst its surface It opened just wide enough to fit five fingers in the crack The horse cart driver only spoke a feords with the person inside, before handing over his oil-paper package containing the eer’s silver drafts Then he returned to his cart, whipped the horse, and kept going
Ning Xiaoyao walked to the newly shut door and lifted her head to look at the two ates So Grand Preceptor Xie knows that Xie Laibao has a lover as well as a wife? One of them keeps a mistress, while the other keeps a lover They’re a pair of scoundrels! </e about those kind of details at a time like this?)
”Should we go in?” Oil Jar asked nervously
Ning Xiaoyao pressed her ear against the door to listen for sounds inside Once she was sure there was nobody near, she patted Oil Jar’s back coht side of the door to get inside
”Should I go find Oil Lamp?” Oil Jar asked in a small voice
”Go on,” Ning Xiaoyao said ”If you can’t find e to reconvene here”
”M Xiaoyao’s shoulder and disappeared like a streak of satekeeper He was dressed like a retainer of the house, and she followed hih the covered corridor and two separate courtyards before they reached a little flower garden Ning Xiaoyao saw the retainer enter a hazy, candlelit rooed person within He also repeated E to leave
The e in the roo to their feet They pressed a switch located at the top of a treasure cabinet to reveal a secret compartment hidden in the wall, then slipped the silver drafts inside Next, the ed person closed the hidden co the roo outside theuntil she was sure the person wasn’t returning, before running inside the roo the switch herself The entire process took less than two seconds for her
The hidden coe, and inside lay two copper boxes as well as a stack of letters In addition, Ning Xiaoyao noticed as she grinned from ear to ear, there were 24 sheafs of silver drafts! She didn’t have time to count all the money, but stuffed the letters and silver drafts into the oilpaper package froer Then she took off her outer robes and wrapped thee as well as the two copper boxes Once she placed everything on her back, she left the rooain, so she hadn’t come in vain
”Xiaoyao!” Oil Lamp cried He’d followed Oil Jar to track her down by her scent
”Shh!” Ning Xiaoyao grabbed the banisters of the covered ay and crouched doo guards on night watch were standing at the other end of the ay
One of them shone the lantern in the ay and said, ”What was that?”
”Squeak, squeak~” Oil Jar made some noise
The two guards left when they heard the ation to catchXiaoyao sat on the floor of the corridor as she felt Oil La well lately, Oil Lamp?”
”I’ very well,” Oil Lauys Did you get them?”
Ning Xiaoyao patted the giant bundle on her back with a grin ”I struck it rich”
”………” said Oil Lauys?
”Ahhh!”
In the midst of her happiness, she heard a distant scream
”Xiaoyao, what’s theXiaoyao’s shoulder again
Ning Xiaoyao raised a hand to point in the direction of the screa hurt over there”
Oil La Xiaoyao’s shoulder as well, sitting right next to Oil Jar He lowered his voice and said, ”That’s the back gardens of the estate Ru treasure deposit there!”
A depository of treasures, or a treasure depot? </e Xiaoyao’s eyes shone
Oil Jar said, ”But Xiaoyao said so hurt over there Elder cousin, have you never gone to the back gardens before?”
”There’s a big green snake who lives there called King Flower We can’t go to a place like that,” Oil Lamp said seriously
Ning Xiaoyao and Oil Jar both fell silent
