This time, she wasn't as cautious as before; instead, she strolled around leisurely, as if she were visiting her own backyard.

Back then, we lacked the strength to do anything but be careful. Now, well, hehe.

It was as if we were in an empty place.

There are many servants on night duty here, but given their skill level, it would be difficult for them to detect Shen Xingmian's presence.

Based on his understanding of ancient architecture over the past year, Shen Xingmian went straight to Lin Xiang's study. These ancient officials had great confidence in their power and control.

Their study is their sacred place, and even family members are not allowed to enter it. It usually contains their most important things.

After Shen Xingmian slipped inside, she didn't care about anything else and moved everything in sight, including the letters on the table, back into her space.

Anyway, the things the treacherous minister uses are definitely top-notch, so he won't lose out no matter what he uses; the only one who loses out is the owner of the room.

After clearing the surface of the room, Shen Xingmian took out a metal detector and began searching for any hidden rooms.

And she actually found out.

The switch to the secret room was quite well hidden. Shen Xingmian searched for a long time before finally finding a protrusion inside a still vase. After turning it, the door opened.

Once inside, Shen Xingmian took out a small nightlight and looked at the room full of gleaming treasures, feeling completely calm.

These are all minor incidents; it's like everyone's seen them before.

But no matter how many times she sees him, she still gets very excited, hehe!

This smells amazing!

They're all hers!

Shen Xingmian didn't even look at what was inside, and just started collecting everything until the secret room, which was as big as a room, was completely emptied before she stopped.

After leaving the secret room, she went straight to the backyard and explored every room.

Now that she has enough space to store her treasures and put things away, she can do whatever she wants.

That treacherous minister is truly despicable. His son probably learned all those tricks from him. There are at least a dozen concubines in his harem...

This is simply unacceptable.

Shen Xingmian left each of her concubines some personal belongings. When she found the treacherous minister's room and saw him, she immediately took out a knife and swung it at his groin, slicing off his genitals.

The treacherous minister was jolted awake from his sleep by excruciating pain. Just as he was about to scream, two smelly socks were shoved into his mouth, choking him back into a rage.

He twisted and struggled, waking the woman next to him.

The woman was startled and opened her eyes, but she couldn't see clearly and had no idea what had happened. She could only cautiously ask, "Master, what's wrong, Master? Are you alright?"

The treacherous minister let out a painful whimper from deep in his throat, curling up and not daring to move.

He wasn't an innocent child, so he knew what this kind of pain meant, but at that moment he was in so much pain that he was delirious and couldn't think of anything.

Shen Xingmian didn't intend to look any longer. She helped them lower the bed curtains and calmly packed away the things in the room.

The woman on the bed was confused, but she still shouted loudly outside, "Help! Help!"

When the people outside heard the commotion and rushed in, Shen Xingmian had already left with her belongings, leaving them only an empty room, a bed, and one person who was in excruciating pain and the other who was terrified.

There's another damned person in this mansion. Since they're here, it's a good time to get rid of them all. Otherwise, if they recognize Rui Rui later, it will cause endless trouble.

However, Lin Sheng was sentenced to death back then. After escaping, he probably can't just swagger home, right?

Where is he...?

Shen Xingmian felt a little regretful. She had acted impulsively and dealt with Lin Sheng's father before finding out his location. She had really lost out.

However, after emptying the Lin family mansion and crippling Prime Minister Lin, Lin Sheng lost his powerful backer, and naturally, he could no longer live as comfortably as before.

Even if they can't find him, if he dares to show up again, Uncle Jiang Yu will take care of him.

Moreover, it seems better to let Uncle Jiang Yu handle it personally, so that he can kill his enemies and also help Rui Rui vent her anger.

After thoroughly emptying the Lin residence, Shen Xingmian swaggered away, feeling incredibly refreshed as he listened to the chaotic footsteps inside.

Standing on the street, she suddenly felt a little lost, unsure whether she should go back to the Jiang residence. Since she had already said goodbye and didn't like the scene of reluctant farewells, she might as well just leave.

With that thought in mind, she decisively released the snowball and ran wildly towards the south gate.

*

The next morning, when Shen Qingrui noticed that she hadn't appeared, she knocked on her door. After a while without hearing any response, she pushed the door open and found that the person was gone.

Seeing her eyes gradually redden and tears welling up, Jiang Yu quickly reached out and pulled her into his arms, gently comforting her:

"It's alright, it's alright. After our wedding, if you really miss her, I'll take you to the North to see her and we can spend the whole summer there, okay?"

Jiang Yu wanted to say that they should spend the whole winter there, but when he thought about how cold it was, he immediately gave up the idea. With his Rui Rui's physique, she would freeze to death.

Shen Qingrui sniffed, her eyes red as she looked up at Jiang Yu, asking as if seeking reassurance, "Really?"

Jiang Yu nodded firmly: "Of course it's true. Don't be fooled by the cold winters in the North; it's a great place to escape the summer heat."

Hearing him say that, Rui Rui couldn't help but feel hopeful. She hadn't forgotten who had asked Jiang Yu for help to save her and her father.

She hadn't even had a chance to personally thank the family.

If given the chance, she really wanted to meet that family in person and express her gratitude to them.

After making up her mind, Shen Qingrui began preparing gifts for the Shen family.

She was afraid that if she was too hasty in preparing, she wouldn't be able to express her feelings properly, so she started very early.

Of course, Shen Xingmian, who had already traveled hundreds of miles away, was completely unaware of what happened next. She headed straight for Jiangnan, hoping to see her second uncle's family as soon as possible.

She hardly stopped along the way, her goal was very clear. When she stopped to rest occasionally, it was just to eat, drink water, and check on the progress of the people in the space.

She used her healing ability on that group of people again today, and their condition has almost recovered. In addition, with the nourishment of the magical water and food from their space, their complexions have become noticeably rosier.

These people were probably grateful to her for saving their lives, so they worked quite hard and were very conscientious.

There was no need for Du Er to supervise or discipline them; everything was proceeding in an orderly manner.
