Chapter 81 Revenge

The butler had a face full of flesh and a ferocious look that was still somewhat intimidating. In addition, people had to bow their heads under the eaves, so the female members of the family soon lowered their heads and remained silent.

"You, what princess? Even if you're the Imperial Consort, you have to behave yourself in our master's house. You've been exiled, so why are you so arrogant? What the hell are you cooking? It smells so bad! Destroy it now!"

Seeing that everyone had become obedient, the housekeeper's vanity was satisfied, so he naturally started to make trouble for Cheng Weiyao, the culprit.

Cheng Wei Yao was already preparing to start decocting the medicine. She had just taken out the pot and lit the fire when the next second a fat-headed and big-eared shadow appeared over her head.

"I'll move outside the yard, or somewhere else. Just tell me what you want me to do. There's no need to go around in circles and cause trouble."

Cheng Weiyao frowned slightly. She didn't want to cause trouble. Since the housekeeper didn't allow her to stay in the side room, it was fine. At most, she would have to spend more time and effort to take care of Wen Chengming at night.

But he can't even boil medicine in peace. This steward is meddling too much. Does he really think he is the emperor who controls everything?

"You can't move anywhere! Open flames are prohibited in the Li Mansion except in the kitchen. You are not worthy of entering the kitchen despite your status. A sickly person won't die if he doesn't take medicine for a day. If he dies, it's because of an illness and he should be put to death. The firewood will be confiscated. If I catch you causing trouble again, your whole family will suffer the consequences!"

The butler threatened with a smile, but he also took action. He directly pulled out the firewood that had just been lit and stomped it out with a few kicks.

Unworthy? Pah! This housekeeper clearly doesn't care about anything that doesn't concern him and doesn't take human life seriously at all!

The veins on Cheng Weiyao's hand holding the medicine jar were bulging, and her face was gloomy to the extreme. This housekeeper really perfectly demonstrated what it meant to bully others by taking advantage of one's power. He was exactly the same as the official!

The housekeeper loved the way everyone looked at him, yet they were helpless. He left the courtyard with his chin held high, feeling smug. Normally, he was treated like a dog by his master, Li Dabao, but now that he had the chance to show off, he naturally seized it.

"Madam, leave the decoction to me. Let me clean up the sleeping area first."

Wen Chengyun had long anticipated the current situation. Collusion between officials and businessmen was common in the capital, and this remote and impoverished town was no exception. It was not surprising that some people would take advantage of the opportunity to take advantage of the situation when the Prince Qingping's Mansion fell into trouble.

Cheng Weiyao nodded and began to make the bed on the floor with Wen Liyu. The number of quilts they brought was limited, so they naturally gave priority to taking care of the frail imperial concubine and Wen Chengming who needed to recuperate.

There were only two sets of bedding left, and Cheng Weiyao had only two choices: either share a quilt with Wen Liyu or share a quilt with Wen Chengyun.

Wen Chengyun was obviously aware of this awkward situation and was the first to offer a suggestion: "Madam, please sleep with me tonight... I'll go make medicine for Cheng Ming at night. If necessary, I'll need your help."

The second half of the sentence was naturally said in a low voice. As for Wen Chengming's medicine, the worst that could happen was that he would sneak into the kitchen in the middle of the night to make it. He would never give up easily just because of a few words from a small fry like the housekeeper. The only reason he compromised at that time was just to allow Wen Chengming to recuperate in peace.

Wen Liyu blushed upon hearing this, but then she thought, everyone was sleeping on the floor, what could possibly happen, and her expression returned to normal.

At midnight, when the moon was above the willows, the courtyard was silent except for the long and regular breathing of the crowd.

"The herbs are all in the medicine bag. It will take at least two quarters of an hour to boil the medicine. Please be careful..."

Noticing a slight noise around her, Cheng Wei Yao whispered that half an hour was neither long nor short, and it was possible that they would be discovered if they were not careful.

Wen Chengyun responded softly, and disappeared into the darkness in a flash. Cheng Weiyao looked around and climbed out of the bed quietly, ready to give this so-called Mr. Li a surprise.

Before leaving, she thoughtfully puffed up the bedding to prevent it from being exposed.

But Cheng Weiyao was not as skilled in martial arts as Wen Chengyun, and her five senses were much weaker. She almost came face to face with the drunken officers as soon as she walked out of the compound.

"We guys are having a really good time drinking today. Look at how the wealthy businessman is fawning over our eldest brother. If only we could get that kind of treatment, we'd be so successful..."

"That's right! I'm so envious of all that gold, silver, and jewelry... By the way, was there something flashing over there just now?"

An officer vaguely noticed a shadow cast on the ground when Cheng Weiyao opened the door. He rubbed his eyes and asked uncertainly, but his footsteps had already moved in the direction of Cheng Weiyao.

Cheng Weiyao was feeling a bit nervous. She was already behind the Moon Gate, and it was obviously too late to return to the compound. If the officers insisted on searching, she would have to try to get away with it by sleepwalking...

However, the next second, the officer who wanted to investigate was pulled back to his brother's side. He hooked his shoulder and said jokingly, "I think you're drunk. Don't be so suspicious all the time. That direction is where the exiles are. Those cowards can't run away. If they run away, they will be wanted..."

These words were like a reassurance that instantly made the officers give up the idea of ​​investigating, and Cheng Weiyao also breathed a sigh of relief. Listening to the officers' footsteps gradually fading away, she groped her way forward in the night.

It is actually very simple to find out where the warehouse in the mansion is. Rich people are afraid of theft, so any place where gold and silver are kept will inevitably be locked, and they may even send a guard to guard the house day and night.

"Why should we feel bad about this? We have a guest at the mansion. How could the money inside disappear without a trace?"

The security guard on duty was complaining quietly at the door, not knowing that Cheng Wei Yao had already sneaked to the back of the warehouse. Although there was a wall between them, with the golden finger of QQ Farm, wouldn't it be easy to catch her?

Since the upgrade of QQ Farm, the range of exploration and acquisition has also been expanded. Cheng Weiyao tentatively used her spiritual sense to move the objects behind the wall into QQ Farm.

Suddenly, a heavy wooden box appeared on the farm. The lid of the box was so full of jewels and gold that it could not be opened. At a glance, it was full of jewels and gold that could not be hidden.

Cheng Weiyao's eyes lit up slightly. She had guessed right. If that was the case, don't blame her for being rude. She was more than willing to accept this ill-gotten gains...
