During her time as acting regent, Qin Zhaowan experienced both pain and joy.

Although his younger siblings shared the burden, he was still overwhelmed by the vast amount of political affairs.

In addition, Prime Minister Pei was determined to hone his skills, so he was busy from morning till night.

Suddenly relieved of her burden, she felt a sense of loneliness, which made her somewhat uncomfortable.

Qin Zhaoyue approached with a grin: "Third sister, I've come to play with you!"

"Play?" Qin Zhaowan was completely confused. "Play what?"

"Playing with my private stash!" Qin Zhaoyue said confidently.

Qin Zhaowan: "..."

Her lips twitched uncontrollably; she remembered!

In the heat of the moment, I did make that promise in the Imperial Study.

If the sixth sister can successfully rescue the Empress, then he will open his private treasury for her to choose from.

Are they here to collect debts?!

Glancing again at the broken ink behind Xiao Liu, and the twelve neatly arranged members of the Ink Group behind him, Qin Zhaowan subconsciously swallowed.

"Sixth Sister, are you... in such a hurry?"

"Nonsense!" Qin Zhaoyue gave her a look that said, "Don't try to fool me."

"Once you remember this and secretly hide all those precious treasures, who am I supposed to cry to?"

Qin Zhaowan was speechless. She wasn't her, so how could she do something so tasteless?

Seeing Qin Zhaoyue tilt her head, squinting at her, her tone carrying a dangerous undertone:

"What, is Third Sister... planning to renege on her promise?"

Qin Zhaowan snorted irritably, "You're overthinking it. I'm not that untrustworthy."

Having said that, he summoned the old steward to fetch the keys and personally led the "creditor" to the private vault.

The mansion's private treasury occupied three interconnected side rooms, with heavy copper locks hanging on the vermilion doors.

Unlock the door and push open the heavy door to reveal the interior of the warehouse.

Rows of rosewood display cabinets stand against the wall, with various treasures categorized and arranged in an orderly manner.

There is a special area for displaying antiques and jade artifacts, including a jadeite cabbage, a mutton fat jade ruyi, and chicken blood stone ornaments, all of which shine brightly.

There are nanmu wood painting jars that store calligraphy and paintings by famous artists, with scrolls standing tall and the faint scent of ink lingering in the air;

There are brocade boxes containing rare and precious items, such as coral trees, amber pillows, and luminous pearls, with a restrained brilliance;

There are also antique shelves displaying exquisite porcelain and gold and silver artifacts, including Ge ware brush washers, Xuande censers, and filigree gold phoenixes...

There are too many, far too many!

Qin Zhaoyue's eyes lit up instantly, and she rushed inside in a flash.

"Huh? What's this?"

She pointed to a reclining deer carved from a single piece of topaz, its antlers exquisite, its expression serene, and the jade itself warm and flawless.

"Sui Mo, what are you standing there for? Move the goods!"

Qin Zhaowan's temple throbbed slightly.

"Wow! This string of pearls is so beautiful, each one is round and full, and the luster is so good!" Qin Zhaoyue picked up a sandalwood box.

"Broken Ink, move it!"

Qin Zhaowan took a deep breath.

"Could this be an authentic work by the painting master of the previous dynasty?" She unfurled a slightly old-looking scroll.

"Broken Ink! I want this one too!"

As Sui Mo faced the increasingly sharp gaze of the Third Princess, cold sweat broke out on his back.

His Highness has already pointed out ten items, each one a priceless treasure from the storeroom!

Is it appropriate to move everything away?

She subtly tugged at the corner of her prince's sleeve, trying to give him a reminder.

Qin Zhaoyue turned her head in confusion: "Why are you pulling me? Move it!"

Then, as if suddenly realizing something, she looked at her third sister and said in an exaggerated tone:

"No way, no way, Third Sister, you're not feeling sorry for her, are you?"

Qin Zhaowan gritted her teeth and said, word by word, "No! Heart! Pain!"

Qin Zhaoyue immediately raised her little face and said to Suimo triumphantly:

"See? I told you so! Stop standing there like an idiot, hurry up, move faster!"

After an incense stick had burned, the old steward serving him looked at the display cabinet, which was almost half empty, and his old face crumpled with heartache, almost bursting into tears.

Seven or eight out of ten of the most precious and collectible treasures in His Highness's storeroom are gone!

Although the hard currency such as silver, gold ingots, and banknotes remained untouched, it was still more painful than taking money directly.

I was so heartbroken I couldn't breathe, and my whole body was trembling uncontrollably.

"Alright," Qin Zhaoyue finally clapped her hands, glancing around with a hint of lingering satisfaction, "Take these."

"some"?

"Third sister, you said you'd move everything out."

But I only took these, so how about that? I'm pretty generous, right?

Qin Zhaoyue blinked her innocent big eyes, giving her a "praise me" look.

Qin Zhaowan forced out another word through gritted teeth: "Enough!"

"Hey, that's right!" Qin Zhaoyue immediately seized the opportunity, patting her chest loudly, "We're the kind of people who value loyalty the most!"

Outside the door, the members of the Ink Group, holding various precious items, silently lowered their heads.

Before leaving, His Highness said he was going to "collect a debt," but he didn't say he was going to "rob" us...

They felt the treasures in their hands were burning hot, fearing that if the Third Princess gave the order, the guards lying in ambush would pounce on them and snatch them away.

Qin Zhaoyue couldn't help but smile, her heart overflowing with joy.

She has plenty of money to spend, but what she lacks are these rare treasures that are hard to buy even with money.

This wave has made them incredibly wealthy again!

With a flourish of her hand, she declared confidently, "Let's go, next one!"

Just then, Qin Zhaowan reached out and stopped her.

Qin Zhaoyue narrowed her eyes, looking down at the other person with disdain: "What? Third sister is really worried about you and won't let you leave?"

To everyone's surprise, Qin Zhaowan revealed a meaningful smile:

"Sixth Sister, are you going to Fourth Sister and Fifth Brother's residence again?"

"Hmm..." Qin Zhaoyue responded vaguely.

“Sister, don’t misunderstand,” Qin Zhaowan said affectionately, taking her arm. “Third sister wants to go with you.”

"You don't know, your fourth sister looks gentle, but she's actually very cunning inside."

She has always considered herself a scholar and refined gentleman, and might secretly hide away the most precious ancient books and paintings, not letting you choose.

Your third sister will come with you to give you some pointers and prevent you from getting taken advantage of.

"Alright, alright, let's go together! Third Sister is so thoughtful."

Phew... Qin Zhaowan looked at her overjoyed sixth sister and finally smiled.

How could we let her be robbed alone?

Hehe, fourth sister and fifth brother, just wait, your big sister is coming with a "surprise"!

The two sisters immediately linked arms, appearing extremely close, and strode briskly towards the gate of the mansion, their destination clear—

Next stop, the Fourth Princess's residence!
