Chapter 187 Fang Wenhai was taken away
After entering the North City, Xu Ning planned to find an inn or a short-term rental yard to live in according to his original plan, but he could not resist the constant nagging of Fang Wenhai and his wife, who brought them all to his mansion.
Fang Wenhai's house was built in a grand and luxurious style. After entering the gate, there were countless courtyards of various sizes, and a long line of servants. Xu Ning felt that his eyes would hurt after recognizing all of them.
"Girl, these courtyards are uninhabited. You can live in whichever one you like!" Fang Wenhai spoke with a sense of heroism. Xu Ning put away the worthless amazement in her eyes and finally decided to give Fang Wenhai a chance to repay her gratitude.
By the way, ahem, save some travel expenses.
After all, why make yourself suffer when you can enjoy yourself?
"Thank you very much, Master Fang!" Xu Ning expressed her gratitude sincerely. She saw Fang Wenhai taking a handful of banknotes from a middle-aged man who looked like a butler and then handing it to her.
"Miss, you are too polite. This is ten thousand taels. Please keep it." Xu Ning looked at the handful of banknotes that Fang Wenhai handed over, and he and Xu Feng behind him swallowed unconsciously.
Wow, ten thousand taels of silver, just like that?
The expressions on Liu Li and Pei Chen's faces did not change. They were very satisfied with Fang Wenhai's trustworthiness and stood behind the siblings without saying a word.
Xu Ning took the banknote, and the moment the paper touched his palm, he felt relieved. It turned out that real money and points were incomparable! Xu Ning suddenly missed the banknotes of the past.
Moreover, Fang Wenhai was very considerate. He gave not only large-denomination silver notes, but also small ones of one or ten taels.
"Mr. Fang, thank you very much!" Xu Ning took the stack of banknotes without counting them and stuffed them directly into his arms.
Fang Wenhai looked at Xu Ning's belly bulging with silver bills with some amusement, and wondered if he had given her copper coins and silver instead of silver bills, would she have stuffed them into her arms as well?
"Then I will not disturb the young lady's rest. If you need anything, just tell the servants." After saying that, Fang Wenhai left with his wife and some servants.
Fang Wenhai's housekeeper was still there. He took Xu Ning to find a quiet and elegant courtyard and arranged several maids to wait around.
"Miss, you can tell the maids anytime if you need anything. They won't enter the yard without your permission." Xu Ning sighed at Fang Wenhai's good management at this moment, so she gave the housekeeper a sincere smile, "You go and do your work first. We don't need anyone to serve us. Just bring us some food and hot water."
"Oh, and if there is anything we should pay attention to, you can also tell us. We won't go out tonight." Xu Ning added. After all, Fang Wenhai is also a wealthy family, so there must be some taboos.
"You can rest assured that you can stay here. Our master and mistress rarely let friends stay overnight." In other words, apart from Fang Wenhai and his wife, the Fang family's servants, and them, there was no one else.
Xu Ning also remembered that when Fang Wenhai first entered the door, he said that no one lived in the yard, and it seemed that this was what he meant.
"Okay, thank you, Butler Fang. This is a specialty of our village. I'll give you some to try. If you like it, come and get more from us." Xu Ning generously gave him two kilograms of salted fish from the Salted Fish Village. Seeing that Butler Fang accepted it without any disgust on his face, he felt even better.
Late at night, after having eaten and washed, Xu Ning lay on the bed which was several times larger than her, and comfortably enjoyed the massage and hair wringing by the maids.
The maids' movements were very natural, and Xu Ning also felt drowsy in this comfort.
"Player, something happened." Suddenly a mechanical voice rang in his mind, scaring away Xu Ning's sleepiness.
"What's wrong? What happened?" The first thing Xu Ning thought of was whether Pei Jiao had been discovered.
"Fang Wenhai was taken away by soldiers!"
