Chapter 17 Something's Wrong



"Your Highness, where did you go this afternoon? I've been looking for you for ages and couldn't find you."

"Hmm, you went out to take care of some things, and your household registration has been cancelled?"

"Your household registration has been cancelled, Your Highness."

Your Highness, "The steward is looking for you, but you're not here. He said he'll ask me to call him when you return."

"Okay, go call him, I'll sit here and rest for a while."

"Yes, Your Highness. Please rest here, I'll go and call for help."

Ten minutes later, the maid Xiao Tao led the steward to her.

"This old servant pays his respects to Your Highness..."

Butler, no need for so many formalities. How did things go?

"Your Highness, everything has been resolved. These are the new land deeds, house deeds, and shop contracts. Please keep them safe."

"Well done,"

"Your Highness, the second branch of the family came over and made a fuss this afternoon. I told them that you were out on business and hadn't returned, and that's when they quieted down."

This old servant is afraid...

"Don't be afraid, let them cause trouble if they want."

Yes, Your Highness, this old servant understands.

"Your Highness, it's past 5:45 PM, time for dinner."

Oh? Most of the servants in the manor have been dismissed. Is there anyone to cook?

"Among the maids who stayed behind, some can cook, but the taste is not as good as that of the special chefs hired by the manor."

It's okay, as long as I'm full.

"Then I'll have someone bring the food over."

Um……

A short while later, the butler led people to bring four dishes and a soup.

Shen Yingying tried them one by one. The taste was not bad. The taste was not as good as those chefs, and the presentation was not as good as the chefs. But the taste was acceptable.

There's no need to worry about finding someone to cook while we're in exile.

After dinner, Shen Yingying sat listlessly on a recliner, thinking about what had happened since she transmigrated today.

Thinking about it, she felt that something was wrong.

What exactly is wrong? ...

Today I collected the treasures of all the corrupt officials and went to the palace to kill the dog emperor.

The emperor was so utterly humiliated that he didn't even have a chance to issue an imperial edict...

Oh, right...

Shen Yingying was lying comfortably on the recliner when she suddenly remembered the imperial edict and abruptly sat up.

Damn, how could I forget about that? That damn emperor was chopped to a crisp by me, and I even stole so much of it that I was practically pawning it as his underwear.

Is there still time to issue an imperial edict?

Without this imperial decree, how am I supposed to endure my life in exile? (Carefree and happy)

I was careless...

Oh... a miscalculation, a miscalculation...

I'll go back to my room later to take stock of today's "zero-dollar purchases." I'll make another trip to the palace later to see how things go.

While we're at it, let's go see that unfortunate prince...

Fifteen minutes later, Shen Yingying, feigning exhaustion, told her maid, Xiao Tao, to go back to her room to rest.

Xiao Tao said that she was a personal maid and had to serve him at all times.

Relying on her status as a princess, Shen Yingying said that she was not used to having others serve her, as it would prevent her from sleeping.

Unable to do anything else, the maid Xiao Tao could only go back to her room to sleep.

Before leaving, he told Shen Yingying that if anything happened, she should go to her room and call her.

Shen Yingying casually agreed...

After seeing the maid Xiao Tao leave, she quickly locked the room from the inside and hurriedly went into her space to check the supplies.

I saw boxes upon boxes of gold and silver ingots, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, gold and silver utensils, jewelry, silks and satins and other items.

Shen Yingying's smile was so wide that her eyes were almost invisible.

After a cursory glance at the gold and silver, I discovered that there were over 1,300 gold ingot chests.

Among them were seven hundred boxes stolen from the homes of corrupt officials and treacherous villains.

One chest is worth ten thousand taels of gold; these thirteen hundred chests would amount to thirteen million taels of gold…

Putting everything else aside, the gold alone is enough to make Shen Yingying feel completely secure, not to mention the other stolen wealth.
