Chapter 290 Yudie Borrows Money

Walking out of the prison of the Ministry of Justice.

Ning Chen looked at Li Zhixing, "Sir Li, Zi Su is a weak woman after all, and I'm afraid she can't stand the torture of the Ministry of Justice."

As he spoke, he reached his hand to wipe his waist, but found that he had no banknotes.

He grabbed a handful of gold beans and stuffed them into Li Zhixing.

These gold beans were left by the left prime minister, and now they belong to him.

He brought a lot when he came back this time.

Li Zhixing put away the gold beans without leaving a trace. It has come to this point, and it would be hypocritical to refuse again.

He nodded slightly, "Ning Yinyi can rest assured!"

Ning Chen smiled, "Then I won't bother Sir Li, I'll treat you to a drink another day, goodbye!"

Ning Chen rode Diao Chan and went straight to the Jiaofangsi.

Night fell.

The Jiaofangsi was brightly lit, and the girls were welcoming and seeing off.

"Mr. Ning?"

Ning Chen heard the voice and turned his head to see the old procuress.

The madam was seeing off the guests. When she saw Ning Chen, she walked over with her willow waist and hips twisted.

"Mr. Ning hasn't been here for a while. Did he go on a long journey?"

Because Ning Chen came back suddenly, His Majesty had not had time to issue a notice to post throughout the city... So except for the officials in the court and a few people, no one knew that Ning Chen went to the border.

Ning Chen nodded, "Yes, he went on a long journey."

"I thought Ning Yinyi fell in love with another girl, and he was tired of the old and ignored Yudie?"

Ning Chen smiled, without explaining, and said, "You go ahead, I'm going to find Yudie!"

"Mr. Ning, wait a minute!"

Ning Chen looked back at her.

The madam lowered her voice and said, "Since you are back, pay more attention to Yudie. She has been acting strange recently."

Ning Chen frowned, "What's going on?"

The madam said, "Yudie has secretly borrowed a lot of money from a girl she knows, and even sold her jewelry."

Ning Chen was puzzled, "Has she encountered any difficulties? What does she need so much money for?"

The madam shook her head, "I don't know! I asked her, but she refused to say... and asked me to keep it a secret for her."

Ning Chen pondered for a moment and nodded slightly, "Okay, I know!"

Ning Chen walked into the Jiaofangsi, but he was very confused. Why did Yudie borrow money?

When he went north for the first time, before leaving, he exchanged the reward from His Majesty into silver notes and gave Yudie nearly 20,000 taels.

Yudie's expenses in the Jiaofangsi were not large, just clothes, jewelry, rouge and the like.

There was no need to worry about clothes. He gave all the 500 pieces of silk and satin that His Majesty rewarded him for the first time to Yudie.

While thinking, they came to the second floor.

Jiang Daniu and Tian Jiang were surprised to see Ning Chen.

They hurried over to pay their respects.

"Mr. Ning, when did you come back?"

Ning Chen smiled and said, "I just arrived today. I've been working hard recently. Nothing happened during my absence, right?"

Tian Jiang said respectfully, "Everything is fine! Miss Yudie hardly goes out. Occasionally, she goes to the street to buy some rouge and powder. We follow her."

Ning Chen asked, "Have any strangers come into contact with Yudie?"

They shook their heads.

Jiang Daniu smiled innocently, "Who in Beijing doesn't know that Miss Yudie is your woman, Mr. Ning? No one is blind enough to make trouble."

Ning Chen thought for a while and said, "Has Miss Xiaoxing, who is beside Yudie, come into contact with any strangers?"

The two looked at each other, embarrassed.

"What's wrong?"

Tian Jiang said hurriedly, "Mr. Ning, please forgive us. We didn't pay much attention to Miss Xiaoxing?"

Ning Chen hummed lightly.

"From now on, you must keep an eye on Miss Xiao Xing. What did she do? Who did she meet? You must report to me in time."

If Yudie encountered trouble and it was inconvenient for her to come forward, she would definitely let Xiao Xing handle it.

"Yes, I obey your order!"

Ning Chen nodded and went upstairs.

Xiao Xing was carrying a basin of water and was about to enter the room when she suddenly saw a familiar figure walking up the stairs.

She looked closely, her face changed slightly, and then she hurried into Yudie's room.

Yudie was wearing plain clothes and sitting at a small low table. Her eyes were red and tears silently slid down her cheeks.

Xiao Xing ran in and said hurriedly, "Miss, I saw Mr. Ning."

Yudie raised her head suddenly, and her dull eyes became bright.

"Are you seeing it wrong?"

Ning Chen was away on a war, how could he come to the Jiaofangsi?

Xiao Xing said with certainty, "It's Mr. Ning. I won't be mistaken."

Yudie wiped her tears in panic, "Xiao Xing, try to hold Ning Lang first, I'll go in and change clothes."

But before she could go in, Ning Chen had already walked in.

"Ning Lang?"

Yudie was a little flustered, but more of joy, her eyes sparkling, she stood up and staggered towards Ning Chen.

Ning Chen took a few steps forward and hugged her in his arms.

Xiao Xing quietly left the room and closed the door.

"Did you miss me?"

Yudie nodded gently and hummed with a heavy nasal tone.

Ning Chen looked down at her haggard face, "Have you cried?"

Yudie shook her head, "No, I was just too happy to see Ning Lang."

"Why did Ning Lang come back suddenly? I was thinking of picking you up at Tianhe Ferry."

Ning Chen joked, "Why, I came back suddenly, are you unhappy?"

Yudie raised her little face, "Ning Lang is back safely, I am naturally very happy!"

Ning Chen took his hand and walked over to sit down, looking at her, "You look haggard, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Yudie looked at Ning Chen infatuatedly and shook her head gently.

"Ning Lang has also become darker, but he seems to be stronger."

Ning Chen stroked her white and soft hands, "Why are you dressed so plainly? No makeup, and why don't you even wear your favorite golden hairpin?"

"I don't go out, so it doesn't matter if I dress plainly!"

Yudie seemed to suddenly remember something? Holding Ning Chen's hand, she said, "Ning Lang, come with me. I have a gift for you."

As she said that, she pulled Ning Chen to the inner room.

Ning Chen was slightly startled: "I've been drifting on the boat for five days, so I should take a bath first?"

Yudie nodded, "Okay! Then I'll ask someone to prepare hot water for Ning Lang."

Ning Chen hugged Yudie from behind and smiled in her ear, "I didn't expect you to be so anxious?"

Yudie was stunned, and suddenly felt something hard against her buttocks... Her pretty face flushed.

She explained in a panic: "No, Ning Lang misunderstood... The gift I mentioned is not what Ning Lang thought."

Ning Chen smirked, "How do you know what I'm thinking?"

"I, I..." Yudie blushed, "Ning Lang has shown it so obviously."

Ning Chen bit her fair and round earlobe lightly, "Does Yudie miss it?"

Yudie's pretty face flushed, she felt weak all over, her legs rubbed unconsciously, and her voice was as soft as a mosquito: "I... I miss Ning Lang too."

"Ning Lang, I'll have someone prepare hot water for you... I'll serve you well later."
