So-called Oath

Country Lord Ning waved at him. Mr. Yang leaned over and whispered in his ear, "I still have some treasures hidden. As long as you take them and help me organize them, I don't ask for anything else. I only ask that they exile me to a better place. As long as you help me settle it, I'll tell you the treasures hidden elsewhere."

Mr. Yang lowered his head and swore in a low voice, "Madam, don't worry. I'll definitely do my best to help you settle it. If I violate the heavens, I'll be struck by lightning."

Country Lord Ning nodded in satisfaction. "I hid a packet of golden leaves in the flower bed planted with epiphyllum in the corner of the courtyard. I'll tell you when the other treasures are done. Come and see me."

Mr. Yang's heart was hot from the words "golden leaves". His voice was filled with anticipation. "Madam, I will definitely do my best."

Country Lord Ning looked at Mr. Yang in relief and said gratefully, "Thank you, sir."
