Chapter 8: Treasure Hunt
Nangong Xue didn't care how much shock it caused to others. She waved her sleeves and left without a single cloud.
He returned to his own place and slipped into the space, "Aotian! Go and help me with something."
"What is it, Master?"
"Go find all the valuables in the mansion and put them in the space.
As long as it is useful, whether it is grain, meat, vegetables, or gold, silver, jewelry, or cloth, everything will be collected.
If I leave them even a grain of rice, I lose."
"Okay, beautiful master, I love doing this kind of thing the most. Wait for my good news. I promise to satisfy you."
Aotian disappeared in a flash, while Nangong Xue drank a cup of spiritual spring water and started practicing.
No matter where you go, you must have strong abilities and be your own support.
She knew that people in ancient times practiced Qinggong, but she was not very good at it now, so she suffered a disadvantage because of this.
After she severed ties with this family, she would have to move out and find someone to teach her Qinggong.
Based on my previous experience of reading novels, it is very likely that she is not her scumbag father's child.
Otherwise, which parent would watch their child being bullied and neglected by the servants in the mansion?
Aotian was very efficient and came back in the time it took to stick an incense stick, full of joy.
"Sister, sister, I have completed all the tasks you assigned to me, and I got quite a few good things.
Everything went into your space, including your mother's dowry, except for two items. Everything else went into your space."
"What's missing? Aotian, tell me quickly."
"Master, we're missing the Twin Dragon Auspicious Cloud Jade Pendant and a set of Dragon Scale Armor."
"Oh, these people are really good. They only take the good things. If they take mine, they have to give it back to me. Even if they eat it, they have to spit it out.
Even if I throw these things to the beggars on the street, I would never let them go to this heartless family.
Let them mess around first! The messier the better. I’m really looking forward to seeing their panicked expressions when they find out something is missing.”
The next day, in an elegantly decorated embroidery building, which was completely different from the original owner's residence, Qin Yuyan acted coquettishly to Zhou Yunjin, "Mother, are you really going to return the dowry to that little bitch? Those are all good things, mother, are you willing to do that?
Besides, if I get such a good dowry when I get married in the future, you will also be proud, right?
Although the crown prince has not yet been appointed, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the second prince has the best chance.
Mother, let me tell you, he has that intention towards his daughter, don’t you want me to be the mother of the country in the future?”
"Daughter, is it true? Is the Second Prince really interested in you? I told you that my daughter is beautiful, gentle, and virtuous, and is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. She will definitely find a good husband in the future."
Qin Yuwei and Qin Yulan were not happy when they heard this. "Sister, mother, you are so biased. You can't forget about us two. We are a family.
Wouldn’t it be nice if the three of us sisters could marry the second prince together?
My elder sister is the queen who rules the country. Wouldn't it be better for us to be her concubines and accompany her?"
Qin Yuyan showed a look of disgust in a place where no one else could see, and cursed in her heart, "What an idiot!"
"Mother, elder sister, as for that little bitch's dowry, who knows if what she said is true or not, but we won't admit anything she said.
I wonder what she'll do? A little bitch living under someone else's roof, she actually thinks she's the legitimate daughter of the Shangshu Mansion."
When the identity of a legitimate daughter was mentioned, Qin Yuyan felt so angry that her teeth itched. It was all because of this damn little bitch who took her identity, otherwise she would not be a concubine's daughter.
Zhou Yunjin: "Don't worry, my daughter! There's no way I can take something out of my pocket.
She wants a dowry, but there isn't even a door or a window. I won't give it to her. What can she do?
A little bitch gave her a bite of food, which was a great favor to her, and she even rebelled against him."
Soon the conversation was interrupted by Nanny Zhou outside. This was the new nanny because the previous one had gone to see the King of Hell.
Zhou Yunjin: "Madam Zhou, why are you so impulsive and don't know any rules? You are an old lady.
How can you behave like this? If there are guests here, you will lose face for the Shangshu Mansion."
Nanny Zhou: "Oh, Madam, please don't blame me for being unruly. The master and the mistress asked you to go over quickly because something serious has happened."
"What happened? Why are you making such a fuss?"
Nanny Zhou was very conflicted about whether to tell it or not.
"Speak up, if you have something to say, just say it now. Why are you hesitating so much?"
Madam Zhou: "Madam, the situation is this: the house was robbed and all the valuables were stolen.
Even the rice, flour, grain, oil, and meat in the kitchen, as well as the horses in the stable, were all gone."
"What???"
"When did this happen? Why haven't I received any news?"
"Go, go."
"We have to go to the storehouse and check it out. This is all the wealth of our Shangshu Mansion, as well as the dowry prepared for our daughter. If it's stolen, I will cry to death."
Zhou Yunjin felt relieved, thinking that the key was still with him, and the things must still be there. He prepared himself mentally and hurried to the lobby of the main courtyard.
I saw the master and the old lady sitting at the upper seats, and below them sat a row of concubines and their children.
Everyone is here, nothing really happened, right?
When Qin Beimu saw Zhou Yunjin coming, he threw a teacup at her, "Zhou, how do you manage the backyard?
Tell me if you are the one who stole the things, otherwise the keys would be with you, there is no movement in the house, and the things are gone.
Is this a ghost? If you don't find the thing for me quickly, I will divorce you and bring you to justice."
"Oh! I forgot you are just a concubine and don't need to be divorced."
"Master, how could you say such harsh words to me? I'm frightened."
Zhou Yunjin didn't realize the seriousness of the situation and kept throwing himself at Qin Beimu.
Everyone else was watching the show, a woman in the backyard serving a man, how many of them were sincere?
The result was exactly as they expected. Qin Beimu kicked Zhou Yunjin, and Zhou Yunjin fell flat on his face.
The maid quickly helped Zhou Yunjin up. Only then did Zhou Yunjin realize that Qin Beimu's face looked wrong, and she didn't dare to cry.
"Ms. Zhou, everyone is here, tell us the truth, where did the things in the mansion go?
If you can't explain it, I'll have to take you to see the official. This is my life savings.
If you dare to have any bad thoughts, I will make you live a life worse than death."
"Alas! Master, you misunderstood me. How could I do such a thing?"
