Chapter 272: Emptying the General's Mansion
Chen Fenghe said: "..."
Her compassion just now should really be thrown away...
Sure enough, some people don't deserve sympathy.
Her husband treats her badly, but instead of taking revenge on him, she brings harm to others?
It would be fine if Qin Mengyue really interfered with her marriage. Everything was just Qu Wenmin's wishful thinking. It was too vicious for Zhao to vent her anger on Qin Mengyue, even though she had nothing to do with her.
Chen Fenghe couldn't help but sneer twice. She had originally hesitated because of her sympathy for Zhao, but now she had no more concerns.
After Zhao fell asleep, Chen Fenghe went directly to her room through the space, waved his hand, and put all the things in her room into the space.
After collecting them, she went directly to the warehouse of the general's mansion.
It has to be said that Qu Wenmin must have made a lot of money over the years. The warehouse is filled with rosewood boxes filled with gold, silver, jewelry, silks and satins.
Chen Fenghe quickly put all the things into the space.
However, when Qu Wenmin was illegally mining gold before, he must have gotten a lot of gold, but there was obviously no gold from that batch in the warehouse. It seemed that the gold was hidden somewhere else.
Chen Fenghe was just planning to explore some other places to see if there was a secret room or something, when she suddenly heard the voices of Qu Wenmin and Xiao Yuncong outside, followed by the sound of a lock being opened.
She hurried into the space, then teleported to the roof, removed a tile and looked inside as usual.
As Qu Wenmin ordered the door unlocked, he said, "Your Highness, I have served the border city diligently for so many years, and I would never dare to accept bribes or embezzle money. As for the Second Prince's allegation of illegal gold mining, I have never heard of it, and it is even more impossible for him to secretly embezzle tens of thousands of taels of gold! This is the storehouse of my mansion. Please inspect it, Second Prince."
Xiao Yuncong still had a smile on his face and said, "General Qu, why are you so serious? I just heard it from someone and asked casually."
Qu Wenmin immediately clasped his fists and said, "Your Highness, although this is hearsay, this matter concerns my reputation. I dare not neglect it. Please take a look at it."
As he spoke, the door of the warehouse was opened, and Qu Wenmin's trusted butler went in first with a lantern. Then he screamed "Ah" in fear, and even the lantern fell to the ground, and the candle went out.
"Master, this..."
Before Qu Wenmin could see clearly what was going on inside, he said dissatisfiedly, "What the hell! What's the big deal? They even lit the lanterns! Why don't you light them quickly?"
Another servant hurried forward with another lantern.
The housekeeper's voice was trembling as he stammered, "Master, maybe... really... really saw a ghost!"
Lanterns illuminated the interior of the warehouse.
Qu Wenmin's face turned pale in an instant.
The warehouse that was originally full was now empty, without even a copper coin left!
The housekeeper's face turned pale. He said, "Master, the young lady's boudoir was robbed last night, and now our storeroom has been robbed. The young lady's courtyard can be said to be guarded, but this storeroom is locked. Only the master, the mistress, and I have the key. And when we opened it just now, the lock was fine. How could this... this place be robbed too? This is like seeing a ghost!"
These words made Qu Wenmin's face look even uglier.
But the housekeeper's words are not without reason.
Wan'er's room was fine, but the theft in the warehouse was really unbelievable!
However, this is not the most important thing. After all, this warehouse is not all his belongings. Even if all his belongings are lost, it doesn’t matter. The key is that when the second prince sees the warehouse is empty, won’t he become more suspicious of him?
