Chapter 139 In short, there is a loophole
When Nie Huan came back from her errands, she heard Manager Liu say that Lord Yan, the Minister of the Dali Temple, had come and wanted to find her to inquire about some matters. He was currently in the inner room of the guest room.
When Nie Huan heard that it was Yan Mobai, she immediately became alert.
Ning Miao told her that her case was being tried by the Ministry of Justice and the Censorate. Since Yan Mobai was the Minister of the Dali Temple and had to avoid suspicion, the Dali Temple did not get involved.
After sorting out her thoughts, Nie Huan went to the inner room to meet the guest room.
Before I got close, I could hear two people talking inside.
She immediately slowed down her pace and listened carefully.
"Isn't the antidote for the three years of spring and autumn the umbilical cord blood of your offspring?"
"No, that was fake news that was deliberately released by His Royal Highness Prince Ning after he saw that the poison he had stored for three years was stolen."
Nie Huan paused in shock.
The antidote is not umbilical cord blood?
That Ning Miao...
The noise in the reception room continued.
"I have been wondering why there is such a strange antidote. It turns out it is a lie. What is the real antidote? Is there one?"
"Mr. Shi just developed it."
Nie Huan felt slightly relieved again.
There is an antidote.
With his mood fluctuating, Nie Huanqiang calmed himself down and told himself to keep a low profile in case of fraud.
She walked forward, raised her hand to knock on the door, then walked in with a smile.
In the reception room, Yan Mobai sat at the table, Chi Feng stood behind him. When they saw her come in, the conversation stopped abruptly.
Nie Huan bowed to Yan Mobai and said, "I heard that you, my Lord, wanted to question me."
Yan Mobai raised his sleeve, motioning her to sit down, and looked her over with his eyes.
Nie Huan instantly felt the pressure of being spied on, clenched her palms slightly, and sat down opposite him.
"I wonder what you want to ask, sir?"
Yan Mobai stared at her.
"The Ministry of Justice should have asked you to confirm the hairpin of Ning Pan, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Yongchang Marquis's mansion."
Nie Huan nodded: "Yes, sir, are you here for this matter as well?"
"No, I want to buy one that's exactly the same. Do you have one?" Yan Mobai asked.
Nie Huan was a little surprised.
Her eyes narrowed slightly, and she curled her lips and shook her head: "No, that one was custom-made by the lady, there is only one."
Yan Mobai nodded: "Then if I customize an identical one, is that okay?"
Nie Huan smiled, "No, so-called custom-made products are made in the exact same shape and size, and are unique. If I make the same one for you, it would be breaking the rules."
Yan Mobai was silent for a moment.
"Since it's a rule, I can't force it. I'll order a different style."
"Sure, what do you want, sir?"
"Are there any ready-made ones? I'll pick one from the ones that are ready."
"The ready-made ones are common goods, that is, they are in bulk. There are many of them on the counter, and adults can choose. If you want something unique, you have to make it custom-made. There are no ready-made ones for custom-made. We only make them when the customers make requests."
Yan Mobai frowned: "Okay, then make it to order."
"What do you want, my Lord?"
Yan Mobai thought for a moment and said, "I also want pearls and jade. As for the shape, I want two dragonflies. I only have one requirement, and it has to be quick. I need it urgently. When can it be ready?"
"Please wait a moment, sir." Nie Huan stood up.
He went outside to get pen, ink, paper and inkstone, quickly drew a simple diagram and handed it to Yan Mobai to look at.
"About this, is that ok?"
Yan Mobai took a look and nodded: "Sure, when can you come and get it?"
"Three days later." Nie Huan replied.
Yan Mobai's eyes darkened slightly: "Can't it be faster?"
Nie Huan looked embarrassed: "Sir, it's already very fast."
"Okay, thank you very much. How much deposit do I need?" Yan Mobai gestured to Chi Feng to take the money.
Nie Huan wanted to say that she didn't need to pay a deposit, but after thinking about it, she decided to follow the shop's rules: "Pay one or two taels of silver first."
Chi Feng paid the money and Nie Huan gave him a receipt.
Yan Mobai stood up and said goodbye: "Thank you for your help, young lady. Please try your best to hurry up."
"I'll try my best."
After Yan Mobai and Chi Feng left, Nie Huan let out a long breath and brushed her chest, which was still pounding.

After leaving Dingyuxuan, the master and servant rode away.
Chi Feng asked Yan Mobai: "Are you sure she is an old friend of the Madam?"
Later, he didn't understand what his parents did.
If he was not an old friend of the woman, then all the conversations they had deliberately made about the past three years would have been in vain.
"Yes." Yan Mobai said.
Chi Feng was surprised.
really?
"How did you determine that, sir?"
Yan Mobai glanced at him.
"I asked Chunlan when she went to Dingyuxuan to order the double-butterfly jade hairpin. Chunlan said it was early in the morning on the day before the wedding. On the eve of the wedding, Nie Huan personally delivered the hairpin to the Marquis' Mansion."
Chi Feng suddenly realized.
"That double butterfly hairpin took less than a day to make, but you just deliberately asked for an expedited order, and they said it would take at least three days."
Yan Mobai nodded.
"Well, although I don't know how to process jade, I know it's quite difficult. Three days is indeed very fast."
"And the one in Ning Pan only took one day to make, which means it was not made on the spot, but was a stock."
"Nie Huan just said that the inventory is all common goods, all in bulk, but the one Ning Pan has is obviously not one of them."
"Then there are only two possibilities. One is that it was custom-made by another customer, but she didn't want it anymore, and Nie Huan saw that Ning Pan needed it urgently, so she gave it to her. The other possibility is that Nie Huan custom-made it herself, and saw that Ning Pan needed it urgently, so she gave it to her."
"But both possibilities are impossible."
"The day before the wedding, when we passed by the long corridor, we saw several maids carrying trays of things to Fangfei Garden. In addition to the wedding dress and shoes, the rest were all red hairpins and jewelry. Ning Pan didn't need to rush to make a hairpin. Besides, she didn't wear this hairpin on the wedding day."
After Yan Mobai finished speaking, he was silent for a moment and then continued, "I even suspect that this hairpin was custom-made by Nie Huan herself as a wedding gift for Ning Pan."
Chi Feng listened without saying anything, and felt that what he said made sense.
In short, it is full of loopholes.
But no matter what, it would be best if it was an old friend.
The old friend would definitely pass on the news of the past three years to that woman.
For the sake of her life, she should take the initiative to find his parents, right?
"Send someone unfamiliar to follow Nie Huan secretly. See where she goes and follow her. Don't alert the enemy." Yan Mobai ordered.
Chi Feng accepted the order: "Understood."

Dingyuxuan
In the second-floor wing, Nie Huan closed the door and walked to the table and sat down.
He spread out the paper, picked up the pen, dipped it in ink, and wrote a note quickly.
Although she didn't know whether the conversation between Yan Mobai and his guards was true or false, since it concerned Ning Miao's life, she still had to tell her the news.
As for whether to believe it or not, let Ning Miao judge for himself.
Ning Miao had instructed that they must not go to the Dali Temple to find her in order to avoid being followed.
If there was an emergency, he would write a note, hide it in a hollow bracelet with a Lu Ban lock, and ask Manager Liu to take it home, and have his wife take it to the Dali Temple to give it to her.
