Rebirth of the Cannon Fodder in the Entertainment Circle-Chapter 590: Republic Divorced Wife Cannon Fodder (4)

Luo Ning sat down at the dressing table and took out a jewelry box from the drawer that was not very delicate.

This was given to her by Mother Luo when she got married.

It was specifically emphasized that it was the dowry prepared by her father before his death for her.

Inside the jewelry box were several golden hairpins and a bank deposit slip, which could be used to withdraw US Dollars or British Pounds from the bank opened by foreigners in the concession.

Of course, it could also be exchanged for silver coins, approximately three thousand in total.

When she married into the family, she openly had ten thousand silver coins as her dowry, and after four years, she had not used it all up, so the money on this deposit slip had also never been touched.

It was only later that the deposit slip was swindled by Huo Yunjie.

She was dearly loved by her grandma and parents at home, and her father died unexpectedly when she was twelve.

She resembled her father, so Grandma and her mother loved her even more dearly.

She grew up pampered, and to protect her, her grandma and mother kept her from experiencing the darkness of the inner house, thus nurturing her innocent and kind nature.

She married into the Huo Family at sixteen and, if put into modern times, she would have just started high school; her character was still being shaped when Madam Huo purposely misled her.

Although to outsiders, her actions seemed foolish, Luo Ning felt that it was mainly due to her upbringing and limited perspective.

From childhood, she was taught to support her husband and educate her children, and the education she received was like the "women’s commandments." She had barely traveled around Beicheng, let alone seen the wider world.

Thus, she was always deceived by Madam Huo and others.

Luo Ning took out the jewelry and deposit slip, then picked up a golden hairpin and used the sharp end to pry open the bottom of the jewelry box.

Soon, the bottom was pried open, revealing a palm-sized brocade box.

Luo Ning took out the brocade box, opened it, and indeed inside lay a key and a piece of paper with a password.

Mother Luo didn’t know about this, so she did not tell her.

When she was married, Madam Huo had tried many times to extract this information, but she never spoke of it, which caused displeasure for Madam Huo.

However, it must be said that Commander Huo and Madam Huo were very patient people. They had deceived her for over a decade.

The reason she later handed these two items to Madam Huo was that, in her past life, she accidentally dropped this jewelry box, and perhaps by fate, the bottom panel cracked open.

Only then did she discover the small brocade box below and found the key and password note inside.

That very night, Madam Huo came, implying that the key and password note were somewhat useful to the Commander. fгeewebnovёl.com

She did not know the use of these items, thinking it wasteful to keep them herself, and then was coaxed by Hai Yun to give them to Madam Huo.

Luo Ning guessed that Madam Huo knew about this immediately, probably because Hai Yun had informed her.

It was indeed Hai Yun who, while rifling through the dressing table, had accidentally broken the jewelry box.

She had just discovered and opened the brocade box, and this ingrate had seen it too.

Naturally, Luo Ning would not let the ingrate discover this matter again; she put the items back, including the deposit slip, into her space.

She also found a box specifically for storing house deeds and placed it in the space too.

In the last Little World, the system had separated the space from the pendant and branded it into her soul.

Thus, unless she returned to her own world, the space would remain in any Little World.

After securing everything, Luo Ning took out eye drops and applied a few drops.

Once her eyes felt more comfortable, she picked up a pen and mimicked her original handwriting to write a letter and called Xue Liu in.

Luo Ning handed her a letter, "Take this letter to my sister."

Xue Liu didn’t ask further, took the letter, and carefully placed it inside her clothing. "Rest assured, Young Madam, I will definitely deliver the letter to the young miss."

Luo Ning naturally trusted Xue Liu, "Don’t call me Young Madam anymore, call me Miss."

She felt uncomfortable with the title Young Madam.

Xue Liu nodded, "Okay, Miss!"

It seemed the Miss had agreed to divorce Fifth Young Master.

She felt sad for the Miss, not wanting to divorce but having no other choice. She simply couldn’t defy the Huo Family.

"Don’t let anyone in this courtyard know you went out to deliver the letter."

Luo Ning looked at Xue Liu meaningfully and said, "In the Huo Mansion, you are the only person I trust."

Xue Liu was stunned, clearly not expecting the Miss to say that.

It seemed the Miss must have noticed the close interaction between Hai Yun and Madam Huo’s maid.

She had tried to warn her before, but the Miss hadn’t thought much of it and told her not to interfere.

Now that the Miss had become more cautious, it was really good.

"I will definitely not betray the Miss’s trust." Her life belonged to the Miss.

Xue Liu quickly went out, making an excuse that the Young Madam had lost her appetite and she was going out to buy some of the pastries the Young Madam used to love.

Given the original body was very naive, direct in actions, and disliked roundabout methods, neither Hai Yun nor Huo Mu suspected anything.

Luo Ning then took out the dowry booklet and reviewed it thoroughly, calculating in her mind.

The original body’s father had been able to secure the position of bank president at Huaxia Northern Bank not just because of his abilities but also because he was wealthy.

Thus, the dowries he prepared for his daughters were very substantial, including shops, lands, and estates, as well as furniture made from precious woods like agarwood and yellow rosewood.

All together, it added up to no less than two hundred thousand silver coins.

In that life, all these assets, along with the few thousands of silver coins of the original body, had been taken advantage of by that ungrateful adopted son and the Huo Family.

Luo Ning guessed that Huo Mu’s patience in coaxing the original body was not just for the bank vault keys and password, but also because she couldn’t bear to lose the substantial dowry.

After all, if the original body and Huo Sichen divorced, and she insisted on leaving the Huo Mansion, it would be impossible for the Huo Family to seize her dowry without losing all credibility in Beicheng.

This time, she wouldn’t let the Huo Family benefit a single penny.

At dinner time, Xue Liu came in carrying a box of pastries.

Hai Yun saw it and sneered disdainfully.

She had intended to go in and check, but remembering that Luo Ning hadn’t called for her voluntarily, she felt annoyed and decided to keep her distance.

At this moment, Luo Ning was enjoying the soft pastries while reading her sister’s reply letter.

The letter only had two words: "Rest assured." So, Luo Ning felt really relieved.

This was the Huo Family’s territory, excluding Xue Liu, no one here was useable. Directly causing trouble with the Huo Family wasn’t feasible.

Her skills were good, but her body’s strength and flexibility couldn’t keep up; it was too fragile.

Moreover, this was Commander Huo’s residence, guarded by soldiers armed with guns.

She was just a human, thinking of rushing out with a maid.

Even if she used instant teleportation a few times, dealing with ten or twenty men was feasible, but against hundreds of armed men, it would truly be a path to death.

Luo Ning burned the letter and whispered to Xue Liu, "We will leave Huo Mansion tomorrow, be prepared."

Xue Liu had already guessed as much and nodded, "This really isn’t a good place, Miss is right to decide to leave."

In her view, the Huo Mansion was treacherous first; wanting to persuade the Miss to stay after the divorce was merely to avoid the infamy of being ungrateful and disloyal.
