Early the next morning, the news that General Tian's mansion had been robbed last night spread throughout the mausoleum.
But this news is divided into several versions.
Some say it was a holy thief, but others say that a holy thief always works alone. This time, there were three people who stole the general's mansion, so this time it was not a holy thief.
But no matter who it was, the happiest people were the beggars in the ruined temple in the north of the city.
Because at midnight last night, a large bag of broken silver and copper coins fell from the sky through the hole on the roof of the ruined temple, waking up everyone in their sleep.
After looking at the contents of the bag and being shocked, they knelt down and worshiped God with joy.
If it weren't for God's blessing, why would a girl in black give them money, clean for them, and find a doctor to treat them during the day, and then drop such a big bag of money at night?
Originally they suspected that the girl in black also gave the money, but someone reminded them that this was very much like the style of a holy thief.
Because after he stole money from rich people, he would exchange it for scattered silver and copper coins, just to make it easier for poor people like them to use it.
"Miss, the Holy Thief showed up again last night. He really stole General Tian's Mansion. It's really amazing."
As soon as Hu Ling'er woke up in the morning, Xiao Miao, who knew that she was very interested in the Holy Thief, told her the news that was spreading wildly outside.
When Hu Ling'er heard this, she was stunned.
That person turned out to be the Holy Thief?
At this moment, Min Mo's voice sounded outside the door: "Miss."
After gathering her nerves, Hu Ling'er responded softly: "Come in."
Seeing Min Mo open the door and come in, Hu Ling'er said to Xiao Miao again: "Xiao Miao, go prepare breakfast."
"Okay, Miss, please wait a moment. Madam has stewed chicken soup for you early in the morning. I'll go get it now." After Xiaomiao said that, he ran out quickly.
After Xiaomiao went out, Hu Ling'er looked at Min Mo: "Did you send the money?"
Min Mo stepped forward, looked at Hu Ling'er, then lowered his head and said, "No."
"No?" Hu Ling'er, who was leaning on the bed, straightened up and frowned, "What happened?"
Min Mo always did what she asked him to do neatly, so there must be some reason this time.
Min Mo said: "Someone already gave them money last night. Too much money can easily cause trouble for them, so I didn't give it to them."
Upon hearing this, Hu Ling'er frowned even more, but then she seemed to understand something, "Is the person who gave them money a holy thief?"
Min Mo glanced at Hu Ling'er in surprise and replied: "Yes."
Sure enough...
With a smile full of fun at the corner of her mouth, Hu Ling'er leaned back, put her hands on her chest and said, "You've done a good job, so don't give them any money for the time being."
As she said that, she raised her eyes and looked at Min Mo, "Min Mo, you should already know that the man you met in the General's Mansion last night is the Holy Thief, right?"
"Yeah. I know."
"Then what kind of person do you think he is?" Hu Ling'er squinted her eyes, looking full of interest.
Min Mo paused for a moment, then spit out three words: "Mysterious person."
…
Hu Ling'er rolled her eyes at him. Everyone in the world knows that this holy thief is very mysterious, okay? She also knows that he is a stingy person?
But knowing that she didn't expect to ask anything from this wooden mouth, she just waved her hand and said: "Go down, I won't go out and run around anymore these days, so you can have a good rest."
.”
This time, Hu Ling'er was really frightened. She finally realized that she was a pregnant woman and could no longer do whatever she wanted like before. So she might as well stay in the house peacefully and take good care of her baby.
After all, she is getting married in just a few days. There will be a tough battle to fight in the future, and she still has very important things to do. She can't let herself get distracted at this juncture.
Min Mo nodded, turned and walked towards the door, but as soon as he stepped out of the room, Hu Ling'er's voice came from behind again: "Min Mo, thank you for last night."
Thank him for bringing her back, thank him for hiding things for her,
Min Mo paused, understanding the meaning of Hu Ling'er's words, and just said in a deep voice: "These are what Min Mo should do."
In the next few days, Hu Ling'er really didn't even step out of the room. She ate, slept, read, and drew. The day passed quickly.
On this day, Mu Qihua came to the room to see Hu Ling'er. When he saw the half-finished landscape painting on the desk, he couldn't help but asked in surprise: "Ling'er, was this painting painted by you?"
"Yes." Hu Ling'er answered while drinking chicken soup.
Zhou Qingrou would stew chicken soup for her every day. She drank so much that she felt like she had gained a lot of weight. It seemed like she was going to be a fat bride.
Looking at the careless Hu Ling'er, Mu Qihua sighed: "Ling'er, dad has intuition, you will definitely not be a child from an ordinary family. You see you have strong martial arts, you can draw so well, and you can also
I like books on national geography and even the art of war. How could a child from an ordinary family know so much?"
Hu Ling'er had nothing to do these days and read almost all the books in his study on the above topics.
Hu Ling'er stopped drinking soup, glanced at Mu Qihua complicatedly, then stood up and walked to his side, hugging him gently, "Dad, no matter where I was born or whose child I am, I will always
They are both your and mother's daughters, and you will always be my favorite parents. You will never be able to leave me in your lifetime."
"Okay, okay." Mu Qihua's nose felt sour, and he patted her back with relief.
Fortunately, he has been honest for most of his life, and in exchange for such a precious daughter.
There was a lot of warmth between the father and daughter here, but in the study room of Prince Han's Mansion in the distance, it was cold and cold.
Xia Yihan leaned in front of the desk and said coldly: "Why, there has been no news about Tang Ling?"
Xiang Cheng replied: "Back to my lord, my subordinates have been waiting outside the ruined temple for so many days, but they haven't seen her appear again."
Xia Yihan fell into deep thought, what happened to Tang Ling? After breaking the appointment that night, she could no longer be found, even in the ruined temple where she went.
Could it be that she has gone back to the cottage? But with her temper, there is no reason to go back without taking the money?
Something must have happened in between.
Thinking of this, he suddenly thought of the woman he met in the general's mansion.
She also disappeared so suddenly, and there was no news after that.
