However, her superpower was quickly exhausted. Lan Yao covered her head and sighed. It seemed that her plan to use her mental power to take advantage of the situation and steal all of the Lan family's assets had failed.
It seems I'll have to wait until nightfall, when it's dark and windy, to do it myself.
Lan Yao closed her eyes to rest and slept until midnight. She suddenly opened her eyes and looked at the moon hanging in the sky through the dilapidated window.
While using a psychic potion to replenish her mental energy, she tiptoed to the courtyard of the third house closest to her, which was Lan Jiaojiao's house.
She climbed over the yard, found a big tree, hid in a branch, and began using her mental power to put all of Lan Jiaojiao's belongings into her spatial storage.
Under the influence of mental power, even the golden peanut that Lan Jiaojiao had left under the bed for a long time would not be spared.
After thinking for a moment, Lan Yao made a replica of the jade pendant and hung it back around Lan Jiaojiao's neck, just in case.
After taking the belongings of the three families, Lan Yao went to the eldest family, the second family, and Old Master Lan's place, and took all their belongings with her.
At this moment, Lan Yao's mental strength had been used to its limit, but this was much less than the Lan family's wealth that Lan Jiaojiao had taken away in the book.
Standing before Old Master Lan's bedside, Lan Yao gritted her teeth and drank another dose of mental energy potion. After replenishing her mental energy, she used it on Old Master Lan...
Lan Yao curled the corners of her lips. She knew quite a lot from Old Master Lan's memories.
However, that's all for today. She has used up a lot of her mental energy and is extremely tired. She needs to rest.
Lan Yao turned and went back to her room to rest, but after only a few hours, she heard a piercing scream: "My money! Where is my money?"
Lan Yao was a little annoyed. Was this some kind of soul-calling ritual so early in the morning?
Lan Yao took out the nutrient solution and gulped it down, and the courtyards of the Lan family's various rooms became noisy and chaotic.
"Did you lose yours too?"
"Damn it, my brand new gold watch that I bought yesterday. I clearly put it on the table before I went to bed last night, and it's gone today."
"My secret stash of money has also disappeared."
"Damn it, which despicable thief is it? How could they steal things even from the kitchen?"
The Lan family members from several branches arrived noisily at the main house of the Lan family to see Old Master Lan.
Grandpa Lan had just woken up when he heard the commotion in his house. He frowned and sternly shouted, "Look at the state of yourselves this early in the morning!"
Lan Xingwang stepped forward with a grim expression. Meeting the angry gaze of Old Master Lan, he said, "Dad, our house may have been burgled. Everything in the house, everything that can be seen, is gone."
"What nonsense are you talking about..." He had barely finished speaking when he reached for his gold-rimmed glasses on his bedside table.
Where are his glasses?
What about the jade thumb ring that he only dared to play with at home?
Grandpa Lan's expression changed drastically. He stood up, ignoring the younger generation still present, and looked around, only to find the place completely empty! There was nothing there!
He refused to believe in superstitions and, in front of everyone in the family, yanked open the door to the secret room...
No!
No!
None!
His precious treasures, his most treasured possessions, his little goldfish! Gone, all gone!
Grandpa Lan clutched his chest involuntarily. Seeing this, Lan Xingwang rushed forward and asked anxiously, "Dad, are you alright?"
Grandpa Lan gasped for breath, his eyes wide and his face grim as he asked, "Your rooms are empty too? The thieves emptied them all? How is that possible?"
To empty the Lan family's house, it would require a large workforce, but...
Lan Xingwang's expression was equally grim. He nodded, gritting his teeth, "I wonder which group did it."
They lost so many valuables from so many rooms in their house. Not only were all the valuables stolen, but everything in their rooms was also taken away. If it wasn't a group of people, or a group that had been watching them for a long time, it would have been impossible for them to steal so much stuff.
"Impossible!" Lan Jiaojiao, who was hiding in the crowd, spoke up subconsciously. She noticed that everyone in her family was looking at her, and she instinctively shrank her neck. But then she thought of something and said, "It must have been Lan Yao who did it. It must have been her. Only she could do something like this."
Lan Yao stole her jade pendant. Lan Jiaojiao felt that only Lan Yao, who had taken her jade pendant, could run away with all the Lan family's property.
"Jiaojiao, what are you doing causing trouble at a time like this?" Lan Xingcheng's new wife, Hua Mudan, said angrily.
I don't know how the Lan family raised Lan Jiaojiao. How come she doesn't even have a brain?
Does she know what she's saying? Even if she hates Lan Yao for taking her place, she shouldn't say things like that.
How could Lan Yao, such a thin and frail village girl, possibly have taken all of the Lan family's valuables?
Okay! Even if she can move it, where will she hide it?
Lan Yao's courtyard was arranged by her; how could she not know whether or not things could be hidden there?
"I didn't. Mom, you have to believe me, it really was Lan Yao who did it. She has a jade pendant, and that jade pendant can hide things!" Lan Jiaojiao blurted out for some reason.
When she said those words, her eyes lit up and her heart pounded.
Yes, yes! This is it, this is it!
Ah, her jade pendant!
Damn it, it's in that bitch Lan Yao's hands now. No way, she has to take it back!
"Ha!" Lan Yao sneered. "I was wondering who was spouting nonsense in broad daylight, and it turns out it was you, Lan Jiaojiao. You framed me for stealing your jade pendant yesterday!"
Today you're saying your jade pendant can hide things! Only your Lan family would dare to openly spout such bizarre and superstitious claims.
