Abai and Aqing sent the basket full of clothes to the laundry room and hurried back. They were delayed by a few girls just now, and it was later than usual. The purchasers were probably already waiting.

Ah Qing followed her footsteps. Although she was still a little scared of what happened a few days ago, she didn't want to worry Ah Bai. Snacks?"

A Bai smiled at her, and replied, "I'm sure I won't forget your snack, don't worry."

Just as they were talking, they finally arrived at the back kitchen. As soon as Aunt Wang saw Abai, she hurriedly urged, "You are here, the people in front are already waiting, let's go."

Ah Bai took off the apron and threw it on the desk aside, then turned around and told Ah Qing, "Ask Ah You to accompany you, don't go to the small building by yourself, and I'll bring you some snacks when I come back."

Ah Qing nodded with a smile, watched Ah Bai go out with Aunt Wang, and then turned around to look for the little girl who used to play better, Ah You.

Aunt Wang led Abai towards the back door, muttering insistently: "Why are you so late, the carriage outside is already waiting, if I hadn't begged hard with this old face, they would have left long ago .”

"Auntie Wang is bothering you, Abai will definitely keep it in mind." Abai followed behind Aunt Wang with downcast eyes, slightly raised the corners of his lips, showing a humble and grateful smile.

Aunt Wang turned her head to see it, and she felt a bit more relieved. She stuffed a small purse into the servant at the door, and led Abai out. There was already a carriage waiting at the door. The carriage was not big, and there were already three people crowded inside. They are all old people who are about the same age as Aunt Wang, and there is a little girl who comes with them.

A middle-aged woman with a thin appearance saw Aunt Wang bringing Ah Bai up, and she immediately sneered and said, "It's just a little maid, but she can keep us waiting for so long, and she's a bit too airy, I thought it was someone from the building. Where's the oiran?"

"My surname is Liu, please be more polite. It's not too late now. Do you think you are the emperor's father?" Aunt Wang sneered back unceremoniously.

She and Aunt Liu have always been at odds. This person is just next to a popular girl, so he feels that his back has straightened up a lot. He wants to order her from time to time. Now that Ah Bai is getting older, why should she let this old woman go? .

A Bai lowered his eyes and sat down next to the car door next to Aunt Wang. A trace of hatred flashed across his eyes. The girl next to Aunt Liu was the one who slapped Ah Qing the day before yesterday. I don't hate it, but I didn't expect that girl to specifically ask this nun to take care of her.

Ah Bai's right hand that was on the left sleeve was tightened, and in the left sleeve were the things that Shen Qingyue told her to send to Xuandong Tower, so that nothing would be lost.

The carriage drove out of the alley, Abai listened attentively to the noises outside, and guessed where they were, while Aunt Liu, who was sitting on the other side, looked coldly at her sideways face, thinking that she would have to find an opportunity to warn them. A little girl who doesn't know the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth.

The carriage finally stopped at the corner of an alley near the busiest street in the West Market. Abai was the first to jump off the carriage. She had already told Aunt Wang that she wanted to go shopping alone, but Aunt Wang was helped off by her. Carriage, seeing that Abai was not in a hurry to leave, but he still had a heart, he said in a good mood: "Okay, let's go, and don't forget to come back when the time comes."

"Understood, Mammy." Abai smiled and nodded at her, walked out of the alley and along the street.

Aunt Liu took another little girl to watch coldly, and when Aunt Wang walked to the other side, she followed in the direction A Bai was walking.

Ah Bai walked along the busy street, this person was a little closer to the street corner where she got off the car just now, she didn't want to be noticed by some caring people, just like the two people behind her.

Ah Bai was picking up a small mirror from a roadside stall, thinking that she could bring one to Ah Qing. She was getting older and began to love beauty, and she always wanted a small mirror that she could carry with her.

She was turning the small mirror to check carefully, and through the small mirror she saw Aunt Liu and the little girl standing on the corner of the street behind her. Mirror, go to the other side.

Sure enough, when she turned the corner, the little girl who was with Aunt Liu stopped in front of her, stared at her with black eyes, and imitated Aunt Liu and said: "Aunt Liu has something to tell you, come with me!" Come."

Ah Bai stopped, shook his head, and said bluntly: "What can I say? I still have something to do, so let's go ahead."

Hearing the words, the little girl turned her head in a hurry and looked in the direction of Aunt Liu behind her. Aunt Liu came over resentfully. Originally, she wanted to find a place with fewer people to teach this girl a lesson, but she didn't expect this girl to be so courageous. She didn't listen to her either.

"Miss Abai, you are almost developed, and you don't even dare to give the old man face." Aunt Liu came over and said in a strange way.

A'Bai turned around and looked at the bluestone alley leading to the Xuandong Building behind her, and sighed softly, I'm afraid she had to deal with this old man who relied on the old to sell the old.

……

Shen Mingshu hasn't slept well for a long time, even so, she still gets up early every day, since she can't fall asleep anyway, why not spend more time thinking about how to solve the matter in front of her.

Shen Mingshu rubbed her forehead, she asked Shen Li to deliver a letter to Lutong Bank early in the morning, and she should be back soon, she only hoped to bring her some definite news.

Seeing her tired look, Qiu Nong felt worried, and said, "Master, why don't you lie down and rest for a while, and wake you up when Shen Li comes back."

"No need." Shen Mingshu waved his hand, "Go and make a cup of stronger tea."

Shen Mingshu sat by the window and waited for a while, when he saw Shen Li hurriedly parked downstairs in his carriage, quickly stepped into the building, and ran upstairs after a while.

"How about it, what does the shopkeeper say?" Shen Mingshu stood up and asked anxiously.

Shen Li shook his head with an ugly expression, and said pantingly: "Master, the shopkeeper of Lutong Bank left the city early this morning to go to Danyang County to handle errands, and no one else knows about it."

Shen Mingshu frowned slightly, this was too coincidental, it was so coincidental that she was a little startled, if she couldn't be sure, it was still a dilemma, if the boy couldn't take the money smoothly, I'm afraid she couldn't let the boy leave.

Shen Li bowed his head and stood quietly waiting for the order. He was also very worried in his heart. What the boy had been waiting for yesterday was probably the news that the bank manager had left, so he might go to the bank to ask for money today.

What Shen Li thought of, Shen Mingshu had already thought of it, and there was no time left for her to hesitate any longer. The person sent to watch the boy sent a message, and the boy went out, put on a nice suit of clothes, Go through the bank.

"Master, what should we do?" Shen Li asked with his head bowed.

Shen Mingshu slowly clenched the hand hanging by his side, and said coldly: "Let's go, I'll go over there personally and keep watch, let people prepare first."

"Yes." Shen Li bowed in response.

At the gate of Lutong Bank, there were many people coming in and out early in the morning, and the people in charge of Lutong Bank had not even arrived yet, and the servants present were so busy that they couldn't stop.

The boy specially changed into nice clothes today. After all, he wanted to pretend to be someone serving under Shen Mingshu, so he couldn't lose his position. He walked into the gate of Lutong Bank and stopped a servant who was walking in with a pile of books. , smiled and asked: "I'm looking for the shopkeeper, can you pass it on to me?"

The servant stayed in Lutong Bank for a long time, his eyes were very sharp, and he could tell at a glance that he should be a servant working for a certain nobleman. If you're going out, why don't I take you to the supervisor."

These words were exactly what the boy wanted, he nodded with feigned regret, and said: "It's fine, I just hope that the person in charge can handle this matter."

The servant kept leading him in, when he happened to meet a steward who opened the door to send a guest out, and hurriedly said: "Steward Wang, this man said that he has something important to ask the shopkeeper, so I will send it here." gone."

Steward Wang nodded, took a look at the boy, raised his hand with a smile and said, "Please, let's go in and sit down and talk."

The boy followed him into the door with a smile on his face, the servant girl who was serving in the room stepped forward and closed the door, poured tea for the two of them and then stepped aside to serve.

"I don't know why this guest is looking for the shopkeeper?" Steward Wang held up his teacup and asked with a smile.

The little servant smiled and took out the half piece of jade pendant from his bosom, handed it to Steward Wang with both hands carefully, and said, "I am just a servant of the Shen family, so you don't have to be so polite. Take out the money, it’s a token.”

He smiled and added, "Originally, the master wanted to come by himself, but unfortunately some urgent matters were delayed, so I left it to the younger one to handle."

"Understood." Steward Wang took the half of the jade pendant with both hands, squinted his eyes and said with a smile, "Please wait a moment, let me check."

The boy nodded and saw with a smile that Steward Wang got up and took out a box from the cabinet behind him, turned his back to him, took out a booklet from it, and began to search for it.

Not long after, Manager Wang finished flipping through the brochure. He frowned and put the brochure into the box, put it back on the cabinet, turned around, and said hesitantly, "I don't know if your master has made a mistake. This jade pendant is not in the brochure." Come on, maybe you took the wrong token?"

Steward Wang looked at the boy suspiciously, and continued, "It may be that the money has already been withdrawn, why don't you go back and ask."

The boy's face changed when he heard the words, but he could only maintain a smile and said to Steward Wang's suspicious gaze, "I'm afraid I took it wrong, I'll go back and ask the master."

The boy came out of Lutong Bank quickly, feeling turbulent in his heart, he was the one to investigate this matter, there must be no mistake, if the money had already been withdrawn by Shen's family, he might not be able to escape punishment.
