At this moment, Nanny Fang hurried in, looking somewhat anxious, and said, "Someone from the palace has come again to announce that the eldest and second young masters have entered the palace."
When Yun Ruoxi and Mu Ruxue heard this, they looked at each other while talking enthusiastically, and the gossip was instantly thrown out of their minds.
They knew the situation was urgent, so they hurriedly got up and ran towards where their husbands were, wanting to find out what was going on.
When Yun Ruoxi returned to the room, she saw Xiao Jingrui already dressed neatly. His gorgeous clothes made him look even more handsome and extraordinary.
She was nervous and walked quickly to Xiao Jingrui, her voice unconsciously carrying a hint of urgency: "Why do you want to enter the palace again?"
Xiao Jingrui saw the worry in her eyes, his expression softened, and he said softly, "This time, the emperor is determined not to let the Wu'an Marquisate go, but we have tried our best."
As he spoke, he leaned slightly closer to Yun Ruoxi and lowered his voice so that only the two of them could hear, "I know that Madam has a special status and possesses skills that ordinary people don't have. Here are the keys to all the storerooms in the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion, as well as the key to the secret room in the rockery in the garden. I can only entrust Madam with many of the future matters in the mansion."
When Yun Ruoxi heard this, her eyes widened in surprise, and her heart was full of confusion. What exactly did Xiao Jingrui mean by this?
Did he already know their true identities?
As if seeing through her thoughts, Xiao Jingrui continued, "Xixi, don't panic. Previously, a wandering Taoist priest calculated this disaster for the Wu'an Marquis Mansion and also calculated the 'Dual Souls in Another World'. Only you can save the lives of everyone in the Wu'an Marquis Mansion."
On the other side, Mu Ruxue also heard similar words from Jamel Xiao.
She was surprised and asked, "So, it wasn't me who set you up?"
Jamel Xiao shook his head gently, looking at her gently, and explained: "I'm just playing along. If it were someone else, I would definitely not agree."
At this point, many mysteries were gradually solved in Muruxue's mind, and everything became clear.
After all the male members of the Wu'an Marquis's Mansion entered the palace, only the female members were left in the mansion.
In the front yard, Wu'an Marquis' wife, Zhao, looked at Yun Ruoxi and Mu Ruxue with a solemn expression and slowly said, "I think Rui'er and Xuan'er have handed the keys to the mansion to you. I don't ask much of you, I just hope you can save the lives of everyone in Wu'an Marquis' mansion."
Yun Ruoxi's expression was firm, and she responded solemnly, "Don't worry, mother. We will do our best."
Upon learning that everyone in Wu'an Marquis' Mansion was aware of their special identities, Yun Ruoxi felt relieved. She no longer had to be timid in the future, and this feeling was quite refreshing.
Zhao quickly gathered all the servants in the Wu'an Marquis's Mansion, prepared to return all the indentures and dismiss everyone.
Being able to regain freedom is the dream of many servants, so most of them choose to redeem themselves and leave, and only a small number of people insist on staying because of their old friendship.
But when they heard that the Wu'an Marquis Mansion might face the bad fate of being confiscated and exiled, the small group of people hesitated again and again and finally chose to leave.
Yun Ruoxi and Mu Ruxue felt relieved about this. There were many gossipy people in the mansion, and there were people watching everything they did, so there was really no freedom at all.
However, in just one morning, the originally bustling Wu'an Marquis Mansion was deserted, which provided great convenience for Yun Ruoxi and Mu Ruxue to act.
Without any scruples, they directly collected all the valuables in the Wu'an Marquis Mansion into their own spaces.
If the doors and windows could be taken away, they would even want to remove the door frame and put it in their pockets.
After finishing all the work in the mansion, Yun Ruoxi and Mu Ruxue left the mansion without stopping and headed for the warehouse prepared in advance by Yun Ruoyang.
The warehouse was filled with stockpiled supplies, mostly cooked food that was easy to carry, as well as various items that might be needed during exile.
Yun Ruoxi didn't even look at them and directly put all the supplies into the space, thinking that as long as they could be used, it would be fine.
After this, Yun Ruoxi finally had a thorough understanding of the personnel composition and family relationships of the Wu'an Marquis Mansion.
Marquis Wu'an is their father-in-law Xiao Jing, and his wife is their mother-in-law Zhao. They have two sons, Xiao Jingrui and Xiao Jingxuan.
In addition, there is Old Madam Xiao, who usually stays in Ronghui Hall and rarely shows up.
The second son, Xiao Bin, was born out of wedlock and had long since moved into a separate residence. He did not live in the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion.
When the old marquis was alive, everyone lived together, but after he passed away, my father-in-law, who was the crown prince, inherited the title of Marquis of Wu'an, and the second branch moved out.
Although Xiao Bin's branch was born out of wedlock, they were still members of the Xiao family after all. They could not escape the confiscation of property and exile this time.
However, Yun Ruoxi and Mu Ruxue were only focused on the Wu'an Marquis Mansion at the moment and did not pay much attention to other people.
Yun Ruoxi also wrote a letter to her parents' home, begging them to help spread the news in the capital, saying that the Wu'an Marquis's Mansion had been robbed and all the property in the mansion had been looted, not even the dishes and chopsticks were left.
After receiving the report, the people from Jingzhao Prefecture rushed to the scene quickly, but after a search, they found nothing and did not find any useful clues.
To be on the safe side, the prefect of Jingzhao placed all the female members of the Wu'an Marquis's family under house arrest on the pretext of the emperor's order.
Everyone knew that if it was just a normal investigation, it would be unreasonable to put the Wu'an Marquis Mansion under surveillance. It was obviously the emperor's intention behind this.
As night falls, everything is silent.
Yun Ruoxi and Mu Ruxue put on invisibility talismans and headed towards the palace silently like two black shadows.
According to the plot development in the book, the imperial decree to confiscate the property will be issued tomorrow. They know that they cannot sit and wait for death, so they decide to sneak into the palace at night and strike first.
Since the emperor was determined not to let go of the Wu'an Marquis's Mansion, they would not be polite and planned to rob the national treasury first.
