After rebirth, I became the widow of my mortal enemy

Chapter 147 Don’t beg me for mercy at that moment

The next morning, Ning Miao received the bracelet brought by Aunt Xu.

Ning Miao immediately went back to the room, closed the door and read the letter.

I told Nie Huan last time not to contact her unless it was an emergency.

This letter must be about something important.

But after reading the letter, she smiled again.

Yan Mobai, this old fox.

Look how anxious Nie Huan is.

If he really knew her whereabouts and wanted to meet her, he would have taken her by surprise instead of telling her these things in front of Nie Huan.

These were obviously said deliberately for Nie Huan to hear, thinking that Nie Huan would definitely inform her, and then he would find her through Nie Huan.

Lure the snake out of its hole?

If he really knew her whereabouts, would he still go to look for Nie Huan again and again? Would he still order a hairpin and a jade pendant?

I just want to keep in touch with Nie Huan legitimately.

Ning Miao raised an eyebrow and burned the note.

I wrote back to Nie Huan.

[Don't worry, he's just testing you and trying to break through you, don't pay any attention to him. As I said before, don't contact me unless it's necessary.]

-

Ning Miao discovered that Yan Mobai had not come to the Dali Temple all day.

During lunch, she heard Song Xiao tell others that today was the seventh day after the death of the eldest daughter-in-law of the Marquis's mansion, and Yan Mobai had taken a day off to pay tribute to her.

Ning Miao raised his eyebrows.

Didn’t you tell Nie Huan that you would meet her today and give her a double-dragon hairpin?

Sent to her grave?

Just say that he tried to scare Nie Huan on purpose.

She knew him too well.

-

Another day passed.

After the court session, Yan Mobai came to the Dali Temple and handed a vermilion lacquered wooden box in his hand to Lan Ying.

"Your Highness Prince Ning gave me a thousand-year-old Fire Lotus Ganoderma. Take it to the kitchen and ask them to stew it for me. You don't need to crush the Fire Lotus Ganoderma. Just add water and stew the whole thing. Don't add any seasonings. Stew it for an hour and a half."

"Okay." Lan Ying took the wooden box and went to the kitchen.

An hour later, Liao, the chef in charge of the kitchen, came to Yan Mobai's office in a panic.

"The Millennium Fire Lotus Zhi of your Excellency is missing."

Yan Mobai was reading an official document and was stunned when he heard this: "What do you mean by missing? Was it stolen?"

"I don't know. There was always someone in the kitchen. Logically, it shouldn't have been stolen. Moreover, I went to open the lid half an hour ago and saw that the Fire Lotus Fungus was still there. No one should have stolen the half-cooked Fire Lotus Fungus. It would be useless if they stole it!"

As we all know, once Fire Lotus Ganoderma is heated once, it cannot be heated again, and the second heating will have no medicinal effect.

What's the point of stealing it?

"Then why did it disappear?" Yan Mobai asked.

Manager Liao shook his head: "I don't know either."

Yan Mobai threw the document in his hand onto the table with a "bang".

Manager Liao was so frightened that he immediately knelt on the ground.

Yan Mobai frowned: "You still don't understand such a simple thing, someone must have stolen it!"

Manager Liao thought about it.

These people have never seen good things, especially rare and precious tonic things like the Millennium Fire Lotus Ganoderma. It is not impossible for them to steal and eat them.

Yes, this is the only possibility. Stealing is useless. You can only eat it secretly.

But there were a lot of people in the kitchen, all going in and out, and no one knew who stole the food.

You can't just cut open someone's stomach to see.

Yan Mobai raised his sleeves, motioning him to get up.

"I have a way to find out who stole the food."

Manager Liao's eyes lit up.

really?

Get up from the ground immediately.

Yan Mobai said: "I heard that there is a tonic that counteracts the Fire Lotus Fungus. If you take the Fire Lotus Fungus and then take this tonic, you will have unbearable abdominal pain."

"Call all the people in the kitchen to me, and I'll have them take this tonic in front of me one by one. Whoever gets a stomachache is the thief."

After saying this, he immediately ordered Chi Feng: "Go to my carriage and get this tonic. It's in the dark box under the seat, wrapped in butter paper."

Chi Feng looked at him, understood, and left.

Yan Mobai then instructed Lan Ying: "Go with Chief Liao to lead the people, and don't let anyone escape."

"Yes!" Lan Ying accepted the order.

-

Before long, all the people in the kitchen gathered in Yan Mobai's office.

Ning Miao also stood in the crowd, lowering his brows, looking at his nose with his eyes and his heart with his nose.

There is no way to take leave this time.

If you take a leave, you may be suspected of being the one who cheated.

Fortunately, there are many people here, so no one should notice her.

In front, Yan Mobai sat behind the desk, looking at everyone, without his gaze lingering on Ning Miao.

He spoke loudly, "I think you all know why you are standing here. The thousand-year-old Fire Lotus Fungus given to me by His Royal Highness Prince Ning was stewed in your kitchen and was stolen by someone."

"Now I'm giving you a chance. If anyone cheated, just admit it and I'll forgive you."

The audience was silent.

Everyone is extremely nervous and everyone feels insecure.

Everyone looked at each other, hoping that the person would take the initiative to stand up, but no one spoke up.

Manager Liao was also very anxious.

"The adults have already said that as long as you admit it, we won't pursue the matter. Whoever ate it, come out and admit your mistake."

Still no one moved.

Yan Mo’s face was as dark as water.

"No one admits it, right? Fine, you only have one chance. If you don't want it, don't beg me for mercy later."

After saying that, he gestured to Chifeng.

Chi Feng nodded, brought over a copper basin of water and placed it on a stool.

Yan Mobai pointed at the basin of water and said, "There is a tonic added to this water. Don't worry, it is a tonic. It is good for the body and has no harm."

Finally, he changed the subject: "However, this tonic is incompatible with the Fire Lotus Ganoderma. If you eat the Fire Lotus Ganoderma and then drink this water, you will have unbearable abdominal pain."

There was a low uproar in the audience.

Yan Mobai glanced at the entire audience, and everyone fell silent immediately.

"In order to find this person, you will drink this water one by one."

Yan Mobai raised his hand to signal Chi Feng.

Chi Feng took the ladle and cups and began to scoop water into the cups, half a cup for each person.

Lan Ying stepped forward to help, but was rejected by Chi Feng: "You are responsible for keeping an eye on them and make sure they really drink it."

"Okay!" Lan Ying stood aside, turned around and faced everyone with a serious face.

Manager Liao took the lead and was the first to take the cup and drink it in one gulp.

Everyone, come one by one according to the order of the team.

Chi Feng scooped them one by one and handed them to the other party.

In order to prove their innocence, everyone drank very heartily, and since it was a tonic, everyone drank without any scruples.

Ning Miao stood in the team, pursed his lips and remained silent.

Since it is a tonic, it should be harmless to children.

When it was her turn, she walked forward with a calm expression, took the cup handed to her by Chi Feng with both hands, and then drank the water in the cup in front of Lan Ying.

Then he handed the empty cup back to Chi Feng.

Chi Feng took it silently and moved on to the next one.

Ning Miao returned to the team as usual and stood behind the crowd.

The corners of Yan Mobai's lips curled up slightly, almost unnoticeably, and then his expression returned to its cold and calm state.
