Chapter 149: 109 Little Grandson (two sightings combined into one)_2

Xue Ningxiang hurriedly said, “How can that be possible? This silver needs to be saved for his future wife!”

Gu Jiao thought to herself, ‘When a man offers to make you jewelry, don’t you have any other thoughts?’

After lunch, Xue Ningxiang went to the bank to withdraw silver. Little Dog clung to her thigh and wouldn’t let go. Having no choice, Xue Ningxiang had to take Little Dog along.

The bank wasn’t crowded, so Xue Ningxiang was able to withdraw twenty taels of silver after a short wait. She kept her silver securely in her bag, with Little Dog on her back and the bag in her arms.

As she left the bank, she bumped into a young man dressed as a scholar.

“Are you blind? Can’t you see where you’re going?” The scholar said impatiently, brushing the arm that Xue Ningxiang had bumped into.

Xue Ningxiang blushed and apologized, “I’m sorry, I’m sorry…”

The scholar’s companion said, “Just let it go. We’re on our way to an exam. We can’t afford to waste time.”

Hearing about compensation, Xue Ningxiang turned pale white.

Thankfully, the scholar was persuaded by his companion to leave. Xue Ningxiang breathed a sigh of relief, however, she quickly realized something was wrong with her bag, it felt significantly lighter.

She hastily searched her bag and was horrified.

All twenty taels of her silver were gone!

Xue Ningxiang thought of the scholar, her eyes flashed and she chased after them, calling out, “Wait!”

The two young men paused.

The scholar who bumped into her turned around, visibly irritated, “What now?”

Xue Ningxiang mustered some courage and accused, “You… You stole my silver!”

“What?” The scholar looked utterly bewildered and slightly indignant at the accusation.

Xue Ningxiang was a soft-spoken person, a little scared to confront two grown men, especially that twenty taels of silver was a huge sum! That was the money Little Dog’s uncle had earned with his life, she couldn’t just let it be stolen!

“It was you!” she forced herself to be brave, “I just left the bank, I was holding everything tightly. When you bumped into me… the silver was gone!”

The scholar was about to fly into a rage, but his companion held him back: “What are you doing? Why bother arguing with a clueless woman?”

The scholar snorted, “It’s not that I want to argue, but she’s trying to frame me!”
