Lan Yao didn't plan to sleep tonight.
Because she had other things to do, Lan Yao put on her night clothes and climbed over the wall to leave after the night had fallen.
Not long after Lan Yao left, sparse sounds began to echo from Wang Tianfu's house again.
You could even hear someone whispering, "Didn't you say the Wang family left in a hurry and couldn't possibly have taken so much wealth? How come we haven't found it after searching for so long?"
"I say so, so it is? It's possible that that bastard Master Wang already got wind of it and secretly sent people to move all his family's valuables away."
"By the way, I heard that rich people like to hide things in their ancestral graves. Have you ever been there?"
"Do you think I'm stupid? I've already seen it, that's why I brought you here to search the Wang family's house."
"By the way, you mentioned that our man accidentally killed Wang Tianfu's wife. Will the police be able to find out?"
"Who knows? If they really find out, it's that idiot's own fault for being stupid. Alright, enough talk, let's get started. Before Wang Tianfu gets back."
"Didn't you have someone trick Wang Tianfu into leaving?"
"Just in case, don't you understand the importance of being prepared?"
...
Lan Yao quietly walked to the place she remembered. She walked across a street and into the depths of the alley, where she found the place she remembered.
With no one around, Lan Yao climbed over the wall and entered.
This courtyard is similar to Grandma Yu's courtyard; it is also a three-section courtyard.
There were still some lights on when she entered the courtyard. Lan Yao tiptoed to the area with lights, pressed herself against the wall, and probed in with her spiritual power. She then heard something.
"I saw Yuzhu. She's already four months pregnant and still keeps vomiting. It breaks my heart to see her suffering like that."
As soon as the woman finished speaking, a man's voice rang out: "Didn't the son-in-law ask a military doctor to take a look at her?"
"I looked at it, but it didn't help. I just told myself that I'd get through this period."
"Okay. Go visit it often when you have time."
"Yes, that's what I meant too. But don't complain if I go too often."
"What do I find fault with you for? Am I afraid you'll get tired of marrying too many sons-in-law?"
The woman smiled when she mentioned her son-in-law: "No, my son-in-law would never look down on me. He dotes on our daughter. She had severe morning sickness, and he was so worried about her, trying every possible way to make her delicious food. He's much better than you in that respect."
“Speak of your son-in-law, why are you talking about me? But our daughter has good taste, she actually found such a good man as our son-in-law.”
The woman's voice was somewhat smug: "Of course. However, I overheard my daughter inadvertently mention that it was that girl Lan Jiaojiao who helped. My daughter even asked me about Lan Jiaojiao today, but how could I dare to tell her?"
The woman paused here, then asked with a worried look, "Won't the Lan family implicate us?"
The man's voice was uncertain: "Probably not. Our family lost contact with Shanghai a long time ago. Besides, Dad told us to keep a low profile and find a good job. We've been hiding it well, haven't we? And we have a son-in-law who's an officer in the military, what are we afraid of?"
"That's what they say. But..."
"I know what you're worried about. But we've hidden things very well. As long as you don't blurt out anything stupid, we guarantee everything will be fine."
"Do you think I'm stupid? What time is it now? Do you think I would dare to say anything reckless? I don't want to cause trouble for my son and daughter."
"That's right. My husband and I are usually cautious in our actions and don't tell our children, so we don't have to worry about any risks."
"Alright, alright, stop talking. Go to sleep. Aren't you going to see your daughter tomorrow?"
"Yes, we'll go together then. If our daughter is still feeling unwell, you can stay with her for a few more days to take care of her."
"Okay, let's talk about it tomorrow. Go to sleep now."
The lights in the room went out.
After the lights in the room were turned off, Lan Yao moved a little further away.
It seems my trip tonight was definitely worthwhile; I overheard so much gossip.
Jade Pixiu: "I never expected that, just as my master said, the woman who stole my master's man is really pregnant."
Lan Yao: "Yes. Didn't they say she was four months pregnant?"
In reality, that scumbag had been married to that woman named Yuzhu for more than half a year.
Wow, that was quick!
Jade Pixiu: "As expected, it was Lan Jiaojiao who helped. But how did Lan Jiaojiao know?"
Lan Yao: "At that time, she had someone steal things from me, including the keepsake that man gave me and the letter."
In fact, afterward, Lan Yao discovered that she had also gone to Lan Jiaojiao to ask for the money, but Lan Jiaojiao pretended to be stupid and innocent.
The others also acted as if to say, "How could you bully their Jiaojiao?" and punched and kicked Lan Yao.
They outnumbered her and were powerful. Although Lan Yao knew some martial arts, she suffered from acclimatization problems after arriving in the new place and was constantly bullied by the Lan family and others, so she couldn't get enough to eat.
Given her condition, she was no match for those people, so only at the very beginning was Lan Yao able to hold her own against them.
But as time went on, she lost her strength and was left only to be beaten. This cycle continued, day after day...
Lan Yao's hatred deepened; she was determined to bring Lan Jiaojiao back, otherwise she wouldn't be able to quell the hatred in her heart.
The jade Pixiu advised, "Master, don't be angry. There's no need to be angry with that stray dog Lan Jiaojiao. Besides, she will definitely come back to seek revenge."
All we have to do is wait patiently and reap the rewards later.
Yu Suanpan added, "This time we must be fully prepared. We can't let Lan Jiaojiao escape from us again."
Lan Yao took a deep breath to calm her resentment. Her face was expressionless. "I understand. Next time, I'll definitely teach her a lesson."
Lan Yao then raised her eyes and began to use her mental power on the Lan family elders.
Then, she learned a lot from Lan Yuzhu's parents' memories, including the Lan family's original hidden wealth in the capital, as well as the tricks they had devised over the years to acquire it.
And taking advantage of this trend, he helped his son-in-law, who was the second-in-command of the Red Committee, to hide a lot of valuables.
After matching the memories of the Lan family elders with her own, Lan Yao raised her eyes and smiled faintly: "Now we can put things away."
Jade Abacus excitedly said, "Go, Master! I love watching you move things around!"
Jade Pixiu: "I like it too. But when does Master want to settle accounts with that scumbag?"
Lan Yao: "I'll go after Li Hao comes back."
