The fireworks exploded right above the princess's residence, suggesting that someone must have noticed something was wrong and was alerting nearby people to come and help.

The noise startled the guards at the warehouse entrance.

As they looked up at the sky, they happened to catch a glimpse of a figure rushing towards them. They immediately drew their swords, ready to meet the person and subdue them.

Shen Xingmian's heart tightened, and she quickly took out a tranquilizer gun and shot it in that direction.

With a few thuds, the guards that Shen Yunting hadn't had time to deal with fell to the ground. Before anyone could find out, Shen Xingmian immediately grabbed her mother and slipped into the storeroom.

It was pitch black here, and because not a single ray of light could penetrate, all the treasures lost their luster.

Shen Xingmian took out a small nightlight, lit it, and held it up. Instantly, many colors appeared around him, mostly emitted by the beads.

It has a glossy, lustrous finish that is beautiful yet not glaring, which is very pleasing.

Shen Xingmian was overjoyed. She had never seen such a treasure in her life, and now it was all hers, hehe.

She didn't have time to look at it closely, since she would have plenty of time to organize it later. So she just stuffed everything into the space, leaving not a single thing behind.

As the moonlight that filled the room vanished in an instant, Shen Yunting's complex emotions reached a new peak.

Her daughter's life has truly been amazing...

I used to hear people laugh and say that the Shen family had committed too many sins, that even their husbands were stolen, and that their children were born to be stupid because of their many misdeeds. It was retribution.

Although she always thought it was nonsense, she felt a pang of pain every time she saw her daughter's oblivious and clueless expression.

Now, this pain has finally been replaced by pleasure.

Their family didn't suffer any retribution. Her daughter was cultivating immortal arts in the celestial realm. Look, just as the Shen family was about to suffer misfortune, she immediately returned with her precious daughter.

No wonder people say daughters are like little cotton-padded jackets; they really are sweet and caring.

After leaving the house, Shen Yunting took her daughter and jumped onto the roof, looking down at the chaos below.

The reinforcements from the palace had already begun searching everywhere. The princess's carriage was parked at the gate, and the guards were protecting her tightly.

It's really difficult to kill her without being recognized.

Shen Xingmian noticed her mother's dilemma and asked, "Mother, if we kill the princess today, won't these people be held responsible?"

At this point, Shen Yunting calmed down. Their Shen family had a clean and upright family tradition and would never harm the innocent. If the princess died, the emperor would definitely make everyone in the princess's residence die with her.

This all became the cause and effect for their family.

If it were just a matter of losing something, the princess would certainly punish some people in her rage, but at least most people's lives would be safe.

"Let's leave for now. Once Mother has the ability to kill this dog emperor, we'll come back and deal with this dog princess."

Her tone was full of regret, for not being able to finish off this vicious woman today.

Seeing that her reminder had worked, Shen Xingmian prepared to leave. Now was indeed not a good time to kill. Even if they were exiled and then sneaked back, it would be better than creating such a big mess and for the whole family to stay in the capital.

She wanted to get her family away from here as soon as possible, lest things get complicated.

Under the emperor's very nose, if they were to truly clash, it wouldn't be a problem that could be easily resolved.

"Then let's leave quickly, Mother, and make some more money in the neighborhood."

She really didn't misuse the word "earn"—it's a risk-free, high-profit venture. At most, it involves a bit of hard work running around, but you rarely see anyone in this world who can reap such huge profits with just a little bit of hard work.

Shen Xingmian most wanted to go to the palace, but she was afraid that this idea would be too rebellious for the Shen family, who had always been loyal to the emperor and loved their country, so she didn't dare to bring it up.

She thought she would try it out at the princess's residence first, then visit a few treacherous officials' homes to get a feel for the place, and finally suggest going to the palace; maybe her mother would agree then.

Unexpectedly, once the two were outside, Shen Yunting solemnly said to her daughter, "Mian'er, I think that since we have such an opportunity, we should go to the palace first. Otherwise, it will be difficult to go after the news is reported."

Her mother was indeed brave and resourceful.

Shen Xingmian immediately nodded obediently, agreeing to her mother's suggestion.

Hilarious! She thought people in ancient times were all pedantic, but it turns out her own mother is surprisingly clear-headed.

That's wonderful.

She originally thought that her mother would only obey her in small matters, but would still adhere to the idea that "if the ruler commands the subject to die, the subject has no choice but to die" when it comes to matters of principle.

Unexpectedly, my mother realized the truth so quickly.

Ah... Mother just said that she would deal with the Eldest Princess after she had the ability to kill the dog emperor?

She was overthinking it.

Both of them knew the location of the palace very well, but it was quite far away, and the palace itself was very large. Running there would be quite tiring.

"Mom, there are no animals in my treasure trove, so there's no horse, but there's a mode of transportation you've never seen before. Let me take it out, don't panic."

Shen Yunting felt that her daughter looked down on her. How could she be such an ignorant young lady? Over the years, she had traveled all over the country with her father. What new and strange things hadn't she seen?

Then, when her daughter pulled out something with two wheels, she was still a little stunned.

this……

With those two wheels, one in front of the other, can they really stay stable? Won't they wobble from side to side and tip over?

Shen Xingmian said excitedly, "Mother, you sit in the back and point the way, I'll take you, let's go!"

Even though Shen Yunting was a little worried, he didn't want to spoil his daughter's fun, so he sat in the back seat, his two long, straight legs dragging on the ground in a pitiful manner.

Shen Xingmian used to be able to ride a motorcycle incredibly fast and steadily, let alone an electric bike. But now, with her somewhat short stature, she could only choose an equally short and quiet electric bike, and she immediately felt sorry for her mother.

"Mom, you can put your legs in front, don't worry, it'll be fine. Point me in the direction, and we'll set off right away!"

The electric car was indeed quiet, and since it was already dark and there were basically no pedestrians around, Shen Xingmian wasn't worried about being recognized at all.

Even if there are, it doesn't matter. This isn't modern times. At night, the streetlights will illuminate the area brightly, and apart from the area around the candles and lanterns, you won't be able to tell whether someone passing by is a person or a ghost.

With plenty of battery power, the mother and daughter sped smoothly to the outside of the palace walls.

There are guards here, but most of them are concentrated at the entrance; it's quite safe along the palace walls.

After putting away the electric scooter, the two of them passed through the wall and went to find the emperor's private treasury. Shen Yunting was still a little excited and whispered to her daughter, "Can I learn what you did just now?"

Shen Xingmian immediately nodded: "Of course you can. With Mother's comprehension, she will definitely learn it in no time. I will teach Mother as soon as I have time."

Upon receiving such a promise, Shen Yunting was overjoyed. Unlike the reserved nature of ordinary young ladies, she was rather unrestrained and cheerful, often grinning broadly when happy, making her joy evident to everyone.

Shen Xingmian liked this mother very much. Even if she wasn't her mother, but just a neighbor, she couldn't help but like her personality.

Once inside the palace, the two tacitly agreed to be as careful as possible. Their plan to leave the capital tomorrow absolutely could not go wrong, so they absolutely could not let anyone associate the matter with the General's Mansion.
