Chapter 22 Rescue

Lan Xiyue slowly stood up and shook her sleeves. "You don't have to prepare dinner. I'm going out for a walk. You just stay at home."

Chuchun frowned slightly when she heard this, "Miss, you're not going to the front hall for dinner, and you asked me not to prepare dinner. What are you going to eat tonight?"

Lan Xiyue smiled gently. She reached out and tapped Chuchun's nose. "Wait, Miss will come back and bring you some delicious food."

After telling them not to let anyone know that she had gone out, Lan Xiyue quietly grabbed a few embroidery needles and quietly left the yard.

The system sounded in her mind, "Host is planning to cause trouble?"

Lan Xiyue rolled her eyes. "What's the big deal? If there's no meat to eat, then naturally we have to find food for ourselves. If we do it ourselves, we'll have enough food and clothing."

Lan Xiyue avoided the maids and servants all the way and came to the storeroom of the Marquis' Mansion.

She hid in the dark, staring at the warehouse guard with sharp eyes.

Lan Xiyue looked down at the embroidery needles in her hand, her brows furrowed. "There are only four needles, and there are twelve guards here. We can't make any noise. This is a bit difficult!"

The system sounded at the right moment: "Host, host, there is a super-strong version of the drug in the mall, and it can be obtained for only 100 points."

A trace of struggle flashed in Lan Xiyue's eyes, and she said painfully, "System, change the drug."

"Ding Dong! Redemption successful, the host has 6,960 points left."

The system's voice echoed in her mind. Lan Xiyue looked down at the porcelain bottle that suddenly appeared in her hand. She pulled out the cork, held her breath, and sprinkled the sleeping pills out.

The drug dispersed in the air, turning into a light mist that silently enveloped the guards around the warehouse.

Lan Xiyue muttered to herself, "System, is this reliable?"

System: "Don't worry, host, the products in the mall are all high-quality!"

Sure enough, not long after, the guards began to stagger, their eyes became blurred, and eventually they fell to the ground one by one, unconscious.

Lan Xiyue was delighted when she saw this: "Not bad!"

After making sure that everyone was unconscious, Lan Xiyue walked out swaggeringly and came to the door of the warehouse.

She looked up at the tightly closed door. There was a big lock with a thick lock on the warehouse door.

Lan Xiyue took off the hairpin on her head and fiddled with the lock gently. With a "click", the lock opened.

Lan Xiyue pushed open the door and walked in.

Inside the warehouse, a wide variety of treasures are reflected in the light, making them sparkle.

Her eyes wandered over this boundless wealth, and she couldn't help but exclaim in amazement: "Wow! The Marquis' Mansion is really rich! What should I do, System? I really want to take all of this."

System: "Master, activate the Purple Ghost Ring to gain space and store all these treasures within. They will be easily accessible."

Lan Xiyue's eyes flickered with longing when she heard this, but then dimmed again: "Wow... five thousand points, that's not fifty points! I'd better take care of my life first, and wait until I earn enough points!"

She lingered among the treasures, her eyes finally settling on a box full of banknotes.

Lan Xiyue thought to herself: Silver bills are light and easy to hide, but if I took gold ingots or other conspicuous items, it would be difficult to conceal.

So she took out a few silver notes worth five thousand taels, felt the heavy weight between the papers, and put them in her arms.

When her eyes swept over those dazzling treasures again, she couldn't help but feel reluctant.

She shifted her gaze with difficulty, and kept comforting herself in her heart that she just wanted to take a walk around the warehouse. After comforting herself mentally, she left the warehouse.

She also carefully locked the door, as if nothing had happened.

Passing through the winding corridor, Lan Xiyue arrived at the backyard. She took a deep breath, tapped her toes, and nimbly climbed over the wall.

Standing outside the Marquis' Mansion, Lan Xiyue felt an unprecedented sense of joy in her heart.

"I'm rich now! Let's go have a good meal first and bring some back to those two girls."

Walking on the bustling streets, Lan Xiyue sighed: "It's great to be alive!"

She accidentally walked into a clothing store. Lan Xiyue changed into a light blue brocade robe with fluttering sleeves. She walked out of the store and instantly transformed into a handsome young man, attracting the attention of passers-by.

Suddenly, there was a burst of hurried horse hooves and the shouts of people on the street.

A horse was like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins, running wildly down the street. Wherever it passed, the vendors' goods were scattered all over the ground, and the people were panicked and fled in all directions.

In a blink of an eye, the out-of-control horse was close at hand. In a corner of the street, a little girl was sitting on the ground, covering her eyes with her hands, crying helplessly.

She was obviously frightened by this sudden change and was completely at a loss.

Seeing that the horse was about to hit the little girl, Lan Xiyue's heart tightened. She rushed forward without hesitation, hugged the little girl in her arms and protected her tightly.

At the same time, the embroidery needle in her hand shot out like lightning and pierced the horse's brain accurately.

The horse fell to the ground instantly, uttered a faint whine, and then became silent.

At this moment, a man staggered from the corner of the street, looking panicked and panting.

He was the owner of the out-of-control horse, named Wang Meng.

He ran while shouting, "Get out of the way, the horse is crazy!" When he ran up, the people gathered around him. When they learned that he was the owner of the horse, many vendors became emotional and demanded compensation.

Seeing this, Wang Meng hurriedly bowed and said repeatedly: "I will compensate you, don't worry, come one by one." There was a bit of sincerity and helplessness in his voice, trying to calm everyone's anger.

A woman came running over in a hurry, looking anxious and with tears in her eyes.

She saw at a glance that the little girl in Lan Xiyue's arms was her daughter Niuniu.

"Niuniu, my Niuniu!" the woman called out as she rushed forward.

The little girl heard her mother's voice and cried out, "Woo... Mother."

The woman hugged the little girl, tears welling up in her eyes, and thanked her repeatedly: "Thank you so much, benefactor, thank you so much."

Lan Xiyue smiled and waved her hand, saying softly, "It's okay, it's just a piece of cake."

After the woman left with the little girl, Wang Meng compensated the merchants with silver and was able to escape.

He walked up to Lan Xiyue, bowed deeply, and said gratefully, "My name is Wang Meng. Thank you for your help, sir. If you hadn't intervened in time, the consequences would have been disastrous."

Lan Xiyue's eyes fell on the horse lying on the ground.

She noticed two small holes on the horse's legs and immediately understood.

"The horse suddenly went crazy because it was poisoned by a snake." Lan Xiyue said lightly.

Wang Meng followed her gaze and, as expected, spotted the two inconspicuous holes on the horse's legs. Startled, he quickly said, "I was wondering why the horse had gone mad all of a sudden. Turns out it must have been poisoned by a snake."

Wang Meng said this, then bowed to Lan Xiyue and said sincerely, "I will remember your kindness today. Please do me the honor of hosting you and offer you a few drinks as a token of your gratitude."

Lan Xiyue waved her hand: "No, you should take care of things here first. And your waist, you should go to the clinic."

After saying that, Lan Xiyue walked into the Tianxiang Restaurant opposite.

Wang Meng rubbed his waist. He was thrown off the horse and didn't care about the pain in his waist. He chased all the way. Unexpectedly, this young man could tell at a glance that his waist was injured.

Wang Meng looked up and asked, "Huh? Where's the person?"

Seeing that the young man was gone, Wang Meng felt sorry. He didn't even know his name. He paid someone to push a cart to deal with the horse's body, and then he limped to the clinic.
