After collecting the most vulgar gold and silver, Su Qi happily took away the antiques, calligraphy and paintings, pills and herbs, cloth and clothes, as well as the kang screen ornaments bestowed by the emperor... all of them.
Cleaning up other people's warehouses and leaving behind a mouse or a piece of mouse droppings was considered Su Qi's kind heart.
The granary is connected to the warehouse. The granary of the Duke of Ru's Mansion is three times larger than that of the General's Mansion.
Su Qi's two greedy eyes were always shining.
For granaries.
Similarly, if you just pass by, you can’t give it out.
Wow.
If it were to spread out... The rice and wheat fields like the Sahara Desert were waving to Su Qi. She always felt that it was because of the food that she was unwilling to stay in the Duke of Ru's Mansion.
At a glance, there are dozens of tons of rice and wheat.
Not to mention all kinds of beans such as corn, soybeans, red beans, etc.
Su Qi didn't know what to say.
Just think of the Duke of Ru as a kind-hearted person who felt sorry for her because she had to endure heavy rain, ice and snow, and lack of food and clothing during her exile.
I accepted them all with a smile.
Su Qi also put dozens of bundles of oilcloth in the warehouse into the space.
After making sure that not even a single cockroach was spared, Su Qi went to the kitchen of the Duke of Ruyang's Mansion.
The kitchen was quiet, a perfect time to get things done.
Pots, pans, kitchen knives for chopping bones, vegetables and fruits, eggs, pork, chickens, ducks, geese...even the several large water tanks inside were not spared.
Not to mention the fine silver charcoal, charcoal, firewood, etc. Even the flint was stored in the space.
When they got outside, they took away the sickles and shovels used in the garden, leaving nothing behind, including the vegetables in the garden and the chickens, ducks, and geese in the shed.
Live chickens and ducks are kept in the open space behind the shopping mall.
After confirming again and again that it was like a swarm of locusts passing through, he left with satisfaction.
Let your scheme frame the General's Mansion.
On the way to the corner of the yard, Su Qi would never keep anything that could be put into the space.
They raided two more private vaults. Looking at the amount of banknotes, gold, and silver inside, they knew they were the private vaults of the mistress of the Duke of Ru's mansion.
It seems that it is almost done. Let’s go home quickly.
The precious flowers and trees such as the Eighteen Scholars outside several courtyards were also collected into the space by Su Qi who was passing by.
There are also a few pieces of Shoushan stone with peculiar shapes, which seem to be of some value.
If that doesn't work, it would be nice to put it in the farmland in the future.
He left the Duke of Ruyang's Mansion with satisfaction.
When I returned to the general's mansion, I happened to meet Gu Beiheng.
Gu Beiheng looked at Su Qi in her nightgown, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching.
"What are you doing?"
Su Qi thought to herself, what have I done?
Can you say it's sleepwalking?
His eyes rolled around, "I couldn't sleep, so I wanted to go out for a walk. I wanted to go back to the Su Mansion, but I was afraid that someone would be watching us."
Gu Beiheng's eyes fell on Su Qi, and he always felt that this woman was different from other women.
The crying before seemed to be her means.
After a moment of silence, he finally spoke: "Go back and rest. It's better not to disturb your parents-in-law. I'm afraid their lives will be affected in the future."
Su Qi was startled.
She didn't want to disturb them.
If I’m recognized as someone different from my original self, I’ll be doomed.
And what Gu Beiheng said was right. It would not be okay if this involved the original body's family. After all, her parents were quite good to the original body.
The two returned to the yard.
Su Qi was a little hesitant. What should she do at night?
Although Gu Beiheng's every touch met her aesthetic standards, it didn't make sense for him to sleep in the same bed as her right after arriving. She finished washing up slowly, before Su Qi could even speak.
Bai Zhi's voice came from outside the door.
"Second Young Master, Second Young Madam. Someone has come from the palace to summon the Second Young Master to the front yard."
Su Qi shuddered.
Could something happen tonight?
A strange look flashed across Gu Beiheng's deep eyes. "Got it. Just tell him I'll be there right away." He picked up the brocade robe beside him and put it on.
"Qiqi, after I leave, ask Yingyi and others to take your two maids out of the house directly. I'm afraid they won't be able to leave tomorrow." Gu Beiheng felt uneasy and paused before speaking to Su Qi seriously.
"I know. Let them leave quietly later. If it's too late, the mansion might be under surveillance."
"Well. I may not be able to come back this time. I'll leave Dabao and Erbao to you."
Su Qi felt sad. In this era, she didn't even have the power to resist. "Don't worry. It's just Beiheng. Our small family is the most important."
Su Qi was reminding him.
There is no need to take on everything yourself.
Gu Beiheng paused and said, "I understand." He straightened his brocade robe and walked to the door.
He turned around again, took two steps back and hugged Su Qi tightly.
The masculine aura enveloped Su Qi, and she froze for a moment. After a pause, she stretched out her arms and hugged Gu Beiheng from behind.
"Beiheng, don't worry. I'll take care of the rest. Remember not to confront the emperor's men. As long as you have a green mountain, you will not be short of firewood."
Su Qi raised her head, even though she knew where the story was going.
But I am also afraid that her arrival will trigger a butterfly effect.
Gu Beiheng stared at Su Qi, a strange light in his eyes. This woman had a calm and composed demeanor.
"I want to stay alive to accompany you and the child. Since the emperor doesn't believe me, why should I die to prove it?" Gu Beiheng let go of Su Qi.
He opened the door and walked out.
From his lonely back, Su Qi felt powerless and desolate.
Without time to feel sad for Chunqiu, Su Qi called Xianghe and Baizhi who were on duty outside.
"Baizhi, Xianghe. The two of you should follow Ying Yi and the others and leave now."
Xianghe and Baizhi looked at each other and were shocked.
"Second Young Master's Madam, maybe we are just worrying too much?" Xiang He is a servant girl of the Su family. She has known how to stay by her master's side and serve him since she was a child.
Now that she was separated from her master, she felt inexplicably timid.
"Don't worry too much, just follow my instructions." Su Qi didn't explain anything, her eyes becoming much colder. "Discuss everything with Yingyi and the others, and follow Yingyi's arrangements."
Even if the original owner had trained two maids, I'm afraid their inherent thinking would not allow them to make big decisions.
It would be better to let them listen to Yingyi’s arrangements.
"Yes. Madam Second Young Master."
Baizhi and Xianghe saw Su Qi's cold face and knew there was no room for maneuver.
The two were a little surprised that their master was different today, but they didn't dare to ask any more questions. They just knelt down and kowtowed three times, then took the bag that had been packed long ago and went to the living room.
Ying Yi and his followers also saluted Su Qi, "Second Young Master, Madam. Your subordinates and others will go ahead and make all the arrangements in Jinyang Mansion."
"Yingyi, Baizhi, and Xianghe are now in your hands. Remember to buy more farmland in Zhuangzi."
Su Qi sat upright in the chair, giving orders calmly.
Yingyi nodded continuously and agreed to everything.
I thought to myself: It would be better for the master to marry the second young master's wife than those women in the northwest.
This kind of mentality is beyond the reach of others.
Su Qi raised her hand: "Go ahead."
"yes."
Yingyi and several followers took Baizhi and Xianghe away secretly, as if nothing had happened.
After they left, Su Qi hurried to the next door to collect the buns and steamed buns that Xiao Liuzi had bought, as well as the basket of money he had exchanged for them.
Just finished packing and returned to the room.
There was a noise outside the yard, including hurried footsteps, shouting and crying.
Officers and soldiers came in and told Su Qi and the others to gather in the front yard. They were not allowed to take any gold, silver, or jewelry. An imperial decree had been issued, declaring that everyone in the general's mansion would be imprisoned.
Su Qi knew that it was a day earlier than in the book, so luckily she had made preparations in advance and put away all the teacups and teapots in the room.
Even the jujube and yam cake and osmanthus cake on the plate were wrapped with a handkerchief.
The cloth bag made by the maid was just right for the purpose.
Su Qi carried Dabao and Erbao on her back, one in front and one behind, in a cloth bag, and wrapped them in two inconspicuous green cloaks.
The two little guys slept soundly and were not woken by the noise.
Su Qi carried Dabao and Erbao on her back and quickly came to the front yard. She saw that everyone in the mansion was already waiting there.
The maids and servants were all standing on the ground, many of them too frightened to move. They were too terrified to even look up.
Two elderly aunts supported the trembling old lady. The old lady had an anxious look on her face and her lips trembled constantly.
Su Qi's mother-in-law, the eldest lady of the Gu family, stood in a corner, weeping. Gu Beiheng's biological mother was a concubine, who was currently accompanying the eldest lady.
The rest of the people were also like sifting chaff.
All day long, everyone was talking about their house being raided. Little did they know that their own house would be raided as well.
"Servants, stand to the west." A big, black-faced bearded man roared, "Stop arguing! If you make your black grandfather unhappy today, I'll let you taste the power of the whip."
There was a sudden silence on the field.
"The masters of the General's Mansion stand on the east side. Men stand in one row, and women stand in another."
Su Qi stood obediently in the women's row. She looked over but didn't see Gu Beiheng. In the light of the torches, everyone looked terrified.
