Chapter 184: He can’t let anyone take his head away!

The dripping tears spread across the paper.

My husband was kind-hearted and took in his former brother, but that man took my husband away and took all our property. He also married the city lord's daughter. He tortured me every day, pulled out my tongue, and sold me into this place.

[If you are kind enough, please find your husband! I... I don't know where he is now.]

A mere piece of paper was obviously not enough for her to write on.

It seems that Jiang Dao not only occupied the mansion, but also killed all the people who had lived there before.

This gene was definitely inherited from that bastard Jiang Ruhuai.

How disappointed my aunt must be!

Thinking of this, she said, "You must be familiar with the topography of your mansion. Why don't you draw it in detail so that we can search carefully."

For the mute girl, they seemed to be her only hope. She gritted her teeth and drew the mansion stroke by stroke even though her body was trembling with fear.

Where the wing rooms are, where the warehouse is, the woodshed, the kitchen, etc., even which wall has a dog hole are all clearly drawn.

Ruan Mian stared carefully, his gaze stopping at the warehouse.

After taking the topographic map from the mute girl, Ruan Mian folded it and put it in his sleeve.

Then he called Lou Mama over and placed a gold bar from his purse in front of her.

"I will redeem this girl."

It was the first time that Mother Lou had seen such a wealthy person. Just the heavy gold bars were so tempting.

Seeing that they were from outside the area, Mother Lou's eyes rolled up and she said while shaking her body.

"Sir, it's not that I don't want to give it to you, but this woman was sold here by a distinguished guest, and we dare not offend her. Her indenture is not something that I, Mother Lou, can easily decide."

She spoke the Dajing dialect quite fluently, so Ruan Mian could hear her clearly.

Seeing this, she took the gold without hesitation.

Suddenly, the mother on the floor was filled with anxiety!

Before she could speak, Ruan Mian stood up: "If that's the case, then forget it. Let's go."

She glanced at Xie Huaian, and Lou Mama was about to lose the duck she had caught, so she didn't care about anything else now.

He hurried after her, "Sir, sir, let's discuss something! You want this kind of mute girl, so I'm sure she'll be useful to you. Can you add a few more? That way, I'll have something to explain to that distinguished guest."

Ruan Mian was too lazy to say anything, but he didn't stop walking.

Mother Lou quickly grabbed her and said, "Sir! Are you really going to embarrass me? This girl really can't be sold so easily, even if you offer so much money..."

"Since the old lady thinks it can't be sold, then I won't buy it. Mrs. Lou, you can just send it here. Please stay."

Seeing how determined she was, with no room for negotiation at all, Mrs. Lou couldn't really throw away this good deal.

Gritting her teeth, she stood in front of Ruan Mian with a determined heart and said, "Sir, please stay! That's all. She's just a firewood maid. If she can be of use to you, it will be considered a good deed done by me."

Having said that, he immediately asked someone to get the indenture.

…

night.

Ruan Mian originally wanted to go to Tuji's mansion alone, but after thinking carefully, if he insisted on going there without even saying hello, Xie Huaian would probably feel resentful if he knew about it.

And I feel bad about it.

Thinking of this, she formally invited him, "Sir, would you please come with me to visit Tuji's mansion tonight?"

Unexpectedly, Xie Huaian had already made preparations.

"Isn't this what you wanted when you got the topographical map of Tuji Mansion?"

"Are you going to find Jiang Zhen?"

Ruan Mian nodded, but added, "In addition to looking for Jiang Zhen's whereabouts, I also want to go to the warehouse to get something."

"What is it?"

"My aunt told me to get it. It's a secret."

She smiled slightly and had already made up many excuses in her mind to deal with him, but she didn't expect Xie Huaian not to ask any further questions.

"In that case, why don't we split up? After I send you to the warehouse, I'll look for Jiang Zhen, and then you wait there for me to pick you up."

That's fine.

He knows Qinggong, so protecting himself is no problem. When he is not around, I have more room to maneuver.

So the two hit it off immediately, and when it was late at night and everyone was asleep, they disguised themselves and arrived outside Tuji's mansion.

He used his lightness skills to bring Ruan Mian in safely.

The two of them were extremely cautious as they walked around the outer wall.

The mute girl was very familiar with her own mansion, so she drew a route where there were usually not many people, and it was the safest way to enter the backyard.

"Sir, this is just an exploratory mission. We may not be able to pinpoint Jiang Zhen's whereabouts. They probably won't hold Jiang Zhen in an obvious location. So you must prioritize your own safety and return early."

Xie Huaian subconsciously touched her soft bun and said lovingly, "I will obey your mission."

Then he gave her a whistle: "If anything unexpected happens over there, blow it up immediately."

He can rush to the warehouse as soon as possible.

The two looked at each other, and then came to the outside of the warehouse. Ruan Mian easily opened the lock with just a small piece of wire.

She gestured to Xie Huaian and quickly went in.

With the help of the moonlight, Ruan Mian saw that the warehouse was filled with boxes of all sizes, and there was not even a way to walk out.

I could only stand close to the wall and open the boxes one by one.

There were indeed a lot of family property inside.

From cloth, jewelry, porcelain and famous paintings to rice, flour, grain, oil and other food supplies, everything is available.

But after looking around carefully, Ruan Mian found that although there were many of these things, they could not be called real property.

Because the most valuable things are not here yet. The most valuable things here are just these relatively precious porcelains, which are carefully packaged inside and out. Judging from their cherished appearance, they may be goods to be shipped out.

She still remembered that her aunt once mentioned that Jiang Zhen made his fortune here by making porcelain.

Thinking of this, Ruan Mian moved all the goods and items here into the space!

After all, this was not Jiang Dao's thing, and it was meant to be returned to the original owner. Why should he be allowed to take advantage of such a great opportunity?

She didn't even leave any space for Jiang Dao for the tables and chairs inside, and even pulled down the curtains hanging above her head.

In a short while, the whole house became empty, with nothing left. It was so clean that even a mouse would not be able to find its home.

And those valuable farms, shops, land deeds, silver bills, gold, silver and jewelry were probably hidden somewhere else by them.

She will check tomorrow to see where their valuables are hidden.

While she was waiting for Xie Huaian in the corner of the warehouse, she went into the space to take a look at the tussah silkworms.

After drinking the spiritual spring water, the silkworm babies grew rapidly and found a place to start spinning silk and making cocoons!

Those pale yellow silk threads emit a jewel-like luster under the sunlight in space, and they are naturally luxurious and look strong.
