Yun Ruoxi was held tightly by Mu Ruxue, stumbling all the way, passing through several walls in succession, and finally stopped in front of a hidden secret room.
In the secret room, rows of large red camphor wood boxes were neatly arranged, each with a conspicuous seal on it, and the traces of the official seal were clearly visible.
Yun Ruoxi picked up a box at random, reached out to open the lid, and saw that the box was full of silver ingots weighing ten taels each. A rough count revealed that there were a thousand ingots in the box, which was equivalent to ten thousand taels of silver.
Look at this secret room again, it is filled with three hundred boxes.
By this calculation, there are actually three million taels of silver hidden here!
Although they did not know the exact amount of disaster relief silver, the mountains of silver ingots with official seals in front of them made it hard not to suspect that these were the misappropriated disaster relief funds.
Mu Ruxue was so angry that she put her hands on her hips, her eyebrows raised, and her face was full of anger: "Well, this Su Lingling is really the thief crying "stop thief"! She embezzled the disaster relief money and falsely accused us of stealing it from the Wu'an Marquis Mansion!"
Yun Ruoxi frowned, her expression solemn. After a moment of contemplation, she spoke, "Something's wrong. The amount of disaster relief funds is so huge. It's not easy to move it quietly to the Prime Minister's Mansion."
Mu Ruxue's eyes rolled, and she boldly guessed, "Is it possible that the prince was behind this, ordering someone to hide the silver here?"
Yun Ruoxi nodded slightly and replied, "That's also possible..."
Before she could finish her words, Yun Ruoxi keenly caught the sound of voices coming from outside.
"Open the door. I have to check it carefully again before I feel at ease."
After a while, the door of the secret room was pushed open with a creak.
Yun Ruoxi and Mu Ruxue were not panicked at all because they had invisibility talismans on them. They just stood there "openly" and watched Su Lingling step into the secret room.
Walking in front was Su Lingling, who was wearing a lake blue dress.
Although she deliberately wore simple clothes, Yun Ruoxi could still catch a glimpse of the hatred burning like a raging fire in her eyes and eyebrows.
The original book mentioned that Su Lingling died in a conspiracy in the harem in her previous life. After she was reborn, she clung to the prince, a big tree.
Relying on the memories of the previous life, she climbed step by step towards the high position that all women dream of.
Those who had harmed her or had grudges against her were either killed by swords or thrown into beggars' dens to be humiliated. Their end was miserable. The cruelty of Su Lingling's methods was shocking.
Looking at Su Lingling's appearance at this moment, it was obvious that she had just been reborn. In her eyes, there was nothing but revenge.
As soon as Su Lingling stepped into the secret room, she felt a strange atmosphere around her, but she checked carefully several times and found nothing unusual. She could only leave with her people unwillingly.
"Miss, are you thinking too much? This secret room is full of traps. If an outsider wants to come in, we will definitely be able to detect it." The maid whispered to persuade her.
After hearing this, Su Lingling seemed to truly believe it and nodded slightly: "Maybe I'm too sensitive. After all, this is an important matter entrusted to me by the Crown Prince, and there must be no mistakes."
After saying that, she and the maid opened the mechanism together and disappeared outside the secret room.
Mu Ruxue had just breathed a sigh of relief and was about to speak when Yun Ruoxi was quick to cover her mouth and gently shook her head.
Mu Ruxue understood what he meant and nodded hurriedly, holding her breath and not daring to even breathe.
Sure enough, a quarter of an hour later, Su Lingling returned from another entrance with the little maid.
"Look, miss, there's no one here. You're just overthinking it."
Su Lingling was still cautious and checked every corner of the warehouse again. Only after confirming that everything was correct did she leave the secret room completely.
After this incident, with the previous experience of Su Lingling's sudden return as a warning, Yun Ruoxi and Mu Ruxue waited patiently for another half an hour, fearing that the same situation would happen again.
Fortunately, Su Lingling did not appear again this time.
After confirming that it was safe, the two men quickly took away all the silver, leaving only an empty box in the secret room.
After getting the silver from the secret room, the two best friends went straight to the warehouses in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
No matter whether it was a public treasury or a private treasury, all the valuables they saw were completely looted.
By the time the Prime Minister's Mansion was completely looted, it was already midnight.
It was late at night, and the two of them made a plan and headed straight for the Prince's Mansion.
Unlike the Prime Minister's Mansion, the Prince's Mansion is full of wealth and luxury, and the level of luxury is astonishing.
Just look at the wine glasses, they are made of pure gold.
Yun Ruoxi looked at it and couldn't help but be amazed. She thought that she had seen a lot of the world in the past and had seen a lot of silver when she was favored, but compared with the Prince's Mansion, it was nothing.
Mu Ruxue stared with her eyes wide open. She liked this and wanted to take the entire Prince's Mansion away.
If the floors and beams were not so difficult to move, she would probably have dismantled them.
The two men had a clear division of labor and cooperated well, so they were able to plunder property much faster.
Jewelry, precious medicinal materials, ginseng and other valuable items were all collected into the space.
By the time the Prince's Mansion was searched, the sky outside was already slightly brightening.
I had originally planned to try my luck at the General of Cavalry's Mansion, but due to time constraints, I had no choice but to give up.
The two dragged their tired bodies back to the room, fell onto the bed, and fell into a deep sleep instantly.
Nanny Fang came in and called out several times, but they didn't respond at all, so she had to call the palace doctor.
After the court doctor diagnosed the two and confirmed that they were not sick, he allowed them to continue sleeping soundly.
Originally, today was the day for them to return home, but all the men in Wu'an Marquis's Mansion were left in the palace, so in the end, Yun Ruoxi and Mu Ruxue had to return home alone.
