After rebirth, I became the widow of my mortal enemy

Chapter 146 Congratulations, Sir

In the middle of the morning, Chi Feng and Lan Ying came back from following Dali Temple Shaoqing Song Xiao out to capture a criminal, and saw a box of beautifully packaged Cai Lian Zhai pastries on their master's desk.

After the two reported the results of the operation, Yan Mobai pointed to the box of pastries.

"Lord Wu gave it to me when we were leaving court. I don't like sweets, so you two can share it."

"Thank you, sir." The two of them hurriedly expressed their gratitude.

Lan Ying was even more delighted.

This is Cai Lian Zhai’s pastry. You have to queue for a long time to buy it.

"Sir, can I give something to Aunt Zhou? When I was on a mission just now, the hem of my clothes got caught on a branch and torn. I'm going to change it and ask her to help me sew it."

Yan Mobai paused while writing official documents, raised his eyes, and said with an unclear emotion: "Let her help you sew clothes?"

Lan Ying nodded: "Yes, last time my sleeve was torn, she helped me sew it. She is a very kind person and treats me like her own son."

Chifeng: “…”

Yan Mobai's expression eased a little, he raised his eyebrows slightly, and continued to review official documents with his eyes lowered.

"Since the cakes are given to you, they are yours. Whether you want to give them to Zhang San, Li Si, or your mother, it is all your business."

"Thank you, sir." Lan Ying happily picked up the box of pastries and motioned Chi Feng to go out and distribute them.

Chi Feng understood and followed him out the door.

The two came to the yard and saw Lan Ying preparing to unpack the package. Chi Feng grabbed his wrist to stop him: "I don't like sweets either. I'll give them all to you."

"Really?" Lan Ying didn't believe it: "I often see you eating sweets."

"Don't want it? If you don't want it, then share it." Chi Feng reached out and took it.

Lan Ying dodged him with a grin: "I want it, thank you. I don't want any share next time. I'll give it all to you."

If Chi Feng doesn't want it, he can just give it directly to Aunt Zhou without unpacking it.

The packaging is so beautiful, it would be a shame to open it.

Moreover, when giving something as a gift, it is best to have it well packaged.

What’s more, the pastries are from Cai Lian Zhai, and the packaging shows their high quality.

Lan Ying went to change clothes and deliver some cakes, while Chi Feng returned to the office.

"Sir, have you confirmed that Aunt Zhou is her?" Chi Feng asked Yan Mobai.

Yan Mobai lowered his brows and wrote rapidly.

Only after he had approved the official document in his hand did he put his pen on the inkstone, raised his eyes, and nodded: "Yes."

Although he was mentally prepared, Chi Feng was still a little excited when he heard this.

Finally found.

"Congratulations, sir."

Yan Mobai curled his lips, said nothing, lowered his brows, closed the document he had just reviewed, put it aside, and picked up another unread document to open and read.

"My lord, have you put the antidote for Three Years of Spring and Autumn into the pastries?" Chi Feng asked.

"No, she may not eat the cakes. As for the antidote, I have to find a way to watch her eat it with her own eyes."

Chifeng nodded.

Not long after, Lan Ying came back.

Yan Mobai glanced at him sideways while reviewing official documents, and when he saw that he had changed his clothes, he spoke as if unintentionally.

"Your Aunt Zhou has probably never tasted Cai Lian Zhai's cakes. Is she overjoyed?"

"Yes, she is very happy! She especially likes sweets and always carries candied fruits with her, just like a little child." Lan Ying replied with a smile.

Yan Mobai frowned slightly: "How unfilial must one be to say that one's mother is like a child?"

Chifeng: “…”

Blue Shadow: “…”

"I was just making an analogy," Lan Ying explained.

Yan Mobai said nothing and finished reviewing the documents on the table.

He ordered Chi Feng: "Come with me to Ding Yuxuan later."

Finally, he instructed Lan Ying: "First, send these approved documents to Zhang Zhubu, and then go to Ning Wang's mansion and ask Ning Wang to ask for leave for me from tomorrow's morning court. Say that my eldest sister-in-law is on her seventh day of death tomorrow, and I will go to her grave to pay tribute to her in the morning."

The two took orders.

-

When Yan Mobai and Chi Feng arrived at Ding Yuxuan, Nie Huan had just come down from upstairs.

Upon seeing the two of them, Nie Huan narrowed her eyes slightly and immediately came over to greet them, "Master Yan."

"I'm here to pick up the hairpin I ordered that day. Is that ok?"

"Okay, I was thinking of having someone send it to the Marquis' Mansion today, but I didn't expect that you would come in person." Nie Huan said with a smile.

He then ordered the waiter to get the hairpin, and he took Yan Mobai and his servant to the inner room to meet the guest room.

After Mo Bai sat down at the banquet, Nie Huan brought the pot of tea.

The waiter brought a hairpin.

Nie Huan handed it to Yan Mobai with both hands: "Sir, take a look. Are you satisfied? If not, you can modify it."

Yan Mobai took it, held it in his hand and looked at it carefully.

"It seems different from the one my eldest sister-in-law has."

Nie Huan smiled: "Of course they are different. The one the lady has is a pair of butterflies, and the one your Excellency has is a pair of dragonflies."

"When she asked you to customize it, did she tell you why it was a pair of butterflies? Is it because she likes butterflies?" Yan Mobai raised his eyes and asked Nie Huan.

Nie Huan was not expecting him to ask these questions suddenly.

Feeling that something was wrong, he clenched his palms slightly and said with a curved lip: "I didn't say anything."

Yan Mobai nodded: "I hope you like dragonflies too."

Finally, she put the hairpin into the jewelry box and said to Nie Huan, "It's very good. No need to modify it. I don't have time to modify it. We will meet tomorrow, so I have to give it to her."

Then he signaled Chifeng to pay the money.

"By the way, Miss Nie, I also want to customize a jade pendant for my eldest brother to congratulate him on inheriting the title of marquis." Yan Mobai said again.

Nie Huan's heart tightened slightly.

Why isn't it over yet?

"Okay, thank you for taking care of our business. What do you want?" Nie Huan asked with a smile.

"It's fine if it's suitable for sending my brother. When will it be ready? Will it also take three days?"

"A jade pendant requires a lot of jade, and we have to pick the best jade. It may take five days." Nie Huan replied.

"Well, I'll come back in five days to pick it up."

Yan Mobai told Chi Feng: "Pay the deposit together."

After paying the deposit and signing the receipt, Yan Mobai stood up and said goodbye.

The master and servant left Dingyuxuan, and Chifeng asked Yan Mobai: "What did you mean just now, sir?"

He didn't quite understand.

Now that it has been confirmed that Aunt Zhou is Ning Pan, there is no need to worry about Nie Huan.

Yan Mobai curved his lips and said, "Nothing much, just giving Nie Huan some information."

"I asked Ning Pan if she liked butterflies, and said that she hoped she would like dragonflies, too. I was telling her that this hairpin of mine was also for Ning Pan."

"I said I would meet her tomorrow and give it to her, so I didn't have time to edit it. I didn't want her to think I knew where Ning Pan was."

"She will definitely contact Ning Pan and tell him this."

"Based on my understanding of Ning Pan, after she heard this, she would definitely think that I said this on purpose for Nie Huan to hear. On the one hand, I wanted to trick Nie Huan into telling me something, and on the other hand, I wanted to lure her out of her hole and find out her whereabouts through Nie Huan passing the message to her."

"In short, I want Ning Pan to feel that I am still trying my best to find her."

Chi Feng suddenly realized what was happening.

It's just to deliberately paralyze Ning Pan and not let her know that they have discovered her, right?

"No wonder the master ordered another jade pendant. He deliberately wanted her to think that the master wanted to keep in touch with Nie Huan and wanted to use Nie Huan as a clue to find her."

"Ah."
