Chapter 398

Seeing that Shi Zining was not sure, Meng Lingyi said decisively: "My lord, shall I send you out of the city tomorrow?"

Let the young master answer the question first to avoid the limelight, so that he can do things with peace of mind.

Shi Zining thought for a while, then shook his head: "No way! If the other party is willing and capable, even if I go back to Wenzhi County, they will be able to find me, and it will only affect my family."

Now she is not sure about the relationship between the person who followed her and the owner of the pawnshop. The pawnshop is a hundred-year-old shop with a deep foundation in the capital, so she dare not be negligent.

She had already dragged her family down once in her previous life, and she can't repeat the same mistakes in her previous life in this life!
Meng Lingyi felt that Shi Zining's words made sense, so he said helplessly, "It's not right to stay, and it's not right to leave, what can we do?"

You can't always hide in this shop and not go out to meet people, can you?
Suddenly, Meng Lingyi's eyes lit up: "My lord, why don't you ask Chief Xue for help?"

Shi Zining pursed his lips: "Brother Xue is too busy to see anyone, it's not easy to find him, we have to figure out a way first!"

Shi Zining paced back and forth in the room, and after a while, he stopped abruptly.

Meng Lingyi was overjoyed: "My lord, have you figured out a solution?"

"Shopkeeper Meng," Shi Zining looked at him with burning eyes, and told him his decision: "From today onwards, I want to show off as a woman!"

Meng Lingyi thought carefully for a while, then shook his head and said, "My lord, I don't think this method is feasible!"

"why?"

"My lord, think about it, although you didn't meet many people after you came to the capital, people who saw you would not recognize you for a while, but after a long time, you always appear in the tailor shop, and we are still around you." It's hard to guarantee that these people won't be recognized." Meng Lingyi analyzed.

Hearing this, Shi Zining raised his lips and laughed: "Shopkeeper Meng, I have thought of everything you said."

Meng Lingyi looked at her, waiting for the next sentence.

"Meng shopkeeper, I want to restore my daughter to no longer come to the clothing store after death. Not only that, even Bi Liang can no longer appear by my side. I will ask Brother Xue to replace me. I want to be in the capital. Stay for a while longer, and I will return to the County of Questions when the person who secretly looked for me relaxes."

She promised her grandmother and mother to go back to celebrate the New Year, but the safety of her family is more important than anything else.

And she stayed in the capital, she still had some things to do.

Meng Ling stared at her delicate facial features, and said hesitantly, "My lord, this capital city is full of fish and dragons. If you show yourself as a woman, what would happen to you?"

"Shopkeeper Meng, don't worry, I won't put myself in danger." Shi Zining understood his worry and comforted him with a smile.

Seeing that she had made up her mind, Meng Lingyi had no choice but to say: "My lord, no matter what happens, you must notify me as soon as possible!"

"Shopkeeper Meng, I will!" Shi Zining told Meng Lingyi as he spoke, "I will write a personal letter to Uncle Nie later, and if there is not enough money here, you can go to the stationery box workshop in person. Borrow silver."

"By the way, Shopkeeper Meng." Shi Zining thought of something again, and took out the 25 taels of silver that was used as a golden hairpin from his pocket: "I don't know if the pawn shop has tampered with this silver, it's not safe to put it on me. You take the money, it’s best if you don’t find it, but if someone does find it, you just say that a young man bought two pairs of muslin clothes with the money.”

If the money is tampered with, even if it is thrown away, there is no guarantee that the other party will not track it down to the tailor shop.
