"I have plenty of ways. The Xiao family is plotting a rebellion and will definitely need money. Find a place to hide and close your eyes. You can only open them when I tell you to, understand?"
Lin Yuxin said nonchalantly, then told Xiao Hao to stay away.
"good!"
Xiao Hao didn't ask why! He just nodded, then hid by the door, closed his eyes, and stood there obediently.
Seeing that Xiao Hao had closed his eyes, Lin Yuxin waved her hand, and everything in the secret room disappeared.
Lin Yuxin clapped her hands, in a good mood, then walked over to Xiao Hao, patted him on the shoulder, and said with great determination:
"Alright, let's go out! We still need to check other places; we can't leave them a single penny."
Xiao Hao opened his eyes instinctively. Although his sister blocked most of his view, he still saw that the secret room was empty and all the treasures from before were gone!
Xiao Hao was startled. Where were those things? He looked at his sister, who was beaming with joy, but the question stuck in his throat. In the end, he could only be led away by Lin Yuxin.
No matter what secrets his sister might have, she is still his sister.
After Lin Yuxin and the other woman came out, Xueying stopped hiding, because the two women had gone in very quickly and no one had come over yet.
Lin Yuxin restored the Buddha statue and took everything else from the warehouse before leaving.
The group quickly found their way around, having already explored almost the entire Xiao mansion in search of this storeroom. Now, Zhizhi could spot any gold, jewels, or silver notes without even needing to smell them.
Squeak flew ahead, Snow Shadow followed with Lin Yuxin in her arms, and Xiao Hao chased after them. Wherever they passed, not a blade of grass grew.
Lin Yuxin visited Xiao Guojiu's study, bedroom, his wife's and concubines' boudoirs, and his sons and daughters.
Lin Yuxin took everything of value.
Xueying and Xiaohao didn't say a word the whole way, just followed Lin Yuxin and the insect. Whenever the insect stopped, Lin Yuxin would let it fly in, circle around, and then fly out again.
Neither of them knew whether they had taken the money or not, but they trusted Lin Yuxin, so they accompanied her on this trip.
A day trip to the Xiao family mansion!
Xiao Hao didn't care whether his sister had plundered the rest of the money; the treasures in the storeroom were enough to make that Uncle Xiao vomit blood!
After the three men and one insect had finished ransacking the Xiao residence, they quietly left under the cover of night.
Lin Yuxin did not return to the Lin family, but instead took Xiao Hao directly to the Regent's Palace.
When Lin Yuxin entered the Prince's Mansion, she saw that it was heavily guarded. However, everyone in the mansion recognized Lin Yuxin and knew that she was their future princess, so they treated her with great respect.
"The princess has arrived! The prince is in the study!"
When Butler Mu saw Lin Yuxin, his eyes lit up, and he quickly stepped forward to bow and told her where the prince had gone.
"Alright, I understand!"
Lin Yuxin usually refers to herself as "I" only in front of her own people, while in front of outsiders she refers to herself as "this princess".
After all, she became a princess very suddenly. Although she had been in this position for half a year, it was in the northern city where no one cared and she could call herself whatever she wanted without anyone saying anything.
That wouldn't work in the capital, where social classes are deeply entrenched; it's best to be cautious.
Lin Yuxin led Xiao Hao directly towards Li Xiaochen's study.
As soon as I entered Li Xiaochen's study, I heard voices inside:
"Your Highness, our people have discovered that there are spies from other countries in the capital, and quite a few of them."
A cold, icy voice rang out.
"Your Highness, do they know that our Xia Kingdom is in turmoil and want to get a share of the spoils, or do they want to stir up trouble and muddy the waters?"
Shui Mei frowned and said doubtfully.
"It's all possible, but their information came too quickly. I had just returned to the capital when their people were already lying in ambush. This means there are insiders in the capital."
Li Xiaochen twitched his fingers slightly, tapping the table gently with a rhythmic sound, and said in a deep voice.
"What should we do now, Your Highness?"
Shui Mei asked with concern.
"Leng Han, have you found their whereabouts?"
Li Xiaochen turned to ask Leng Han.
"Found it."
Leng Han replied.
"Alright, send men to keep watch. If they make any moves, subdue them. As long as they don't cause trouble at this critical juncture, I will treat them as guests visiting my Xia Kingdom. Otherwise, they will not return alive!"
Li Xiaochen looked at Leng Han and gave the order.
"yes!"
Leng Han clasped his hands in response.
"Scratch, scratch, scratch!"
There was a knock at the door, and the three of them stopped talking at the same time.
"Your Highness, the Princess has arrived!"
The butler stood at the door and knocked on the study door, saying...
Li Xiaochen's eyes lit up, and he stood up and walked outside.
Leng Han blinked, looking at the prince's worthless appearance, then glanced at Shui Mei beside him and asked in a low voice:
"What's going on? Is the prince suddenly so interested in the princess?"
"You must be respectful to the princess from now on. She is our future princess consort. Be careful, or the prince might make you go back to school for a second round!"
Shui Mei whispered a reminder, this was a lesson he had learned the hard way; he was the one who almost got sent back to the training camp.
Leng Han was surprised. In the past six months, Shui Mei had become well-behaved and stopped causing trouble?
Shui Mei ignored Leng Han's suspicious gaze and instead craned her neck to look at the commotion in the prince's direction.
Li Xiaochen strode out, and as soon as he opened the door, he saw Lin Yuxin holding Xiao Hao's hand, following behind Butler Mu. He said with delight:
