Chapter 406: An unexpected surprise
Cao Jiaojiao looked towards the door.
After seeing Wen Ge's face clearly, he was immediately shocked as if he had seen a ghost: "You, why are you here?"
"Weren't you adopted by a small family in the city? How did you know..."
She didn't dare to say Xie Yingmian's name.
The Cao family is quite well-known in Shangjing. She has attended many banquets and knows Xie Yingmian's identity.
He also knew that Xie Yingmian was not someone to be trifled with.
Some noble ladies who were fond of Prince Ling tried every possible way to embarrass Xie Yingmian, but each of them was retaliated against miserably by Xie Yingmian.
She watched coldly from the sidelines a few times and knew that Xie Yingmian was a ruthless person.
Therefore, she never dared to confront Xie Yingmian.
Wen Juexia has already settled Yue Niang.
When he heard that Xie Yingmian and Wen Ge were coming, he followed them.
I happened to hear what Cao Jiaojiao said.
Wen Juexia laughed and said, "Of course you recognized the wrong person."
"You mistook Cuicui for Wen Ge and tried to harm Cuicui and Xiaonan. They have no grudge against you, yet you've harmed them twice in a row. We've already reported the case to the authorities, who are taking it very seriously. Your third brother has confessed, so I'm afraid he'll have to spend several years in prison before he can get out."
"Oh, by the way, you don't know this yet." Wen Juexia simply told Cao Jiaojiao about the Cao family.
Cao Jiaojiao's face turned pale: "Impossible, impossible."
The downfall of the Cao family was something she had expected.
I just didn't expect it to happen so soon.
What was even more unexpected was that Wen Ge was actually from Prince Ling's Mansion, and was the legendary woman who saved Duke Ningguo again.
Fortunately, fortunately she took away the Cao family’s gold, silver and treasures in advance.
No one knows about her mustard seed space.
As long as she leaves here, she can still live a prosperous and wealthy life with the wealth of the Cao family.
Xie Yingmian sat down.
She looked at Cao Jiaojiao leisurely: "Tell me, what's going on with your portable space?"
Cao Jiaojiao was still thinking about the mustard seed space, and was suddenly shocked by Xie Yingmian's question.
She reacted quickly, her expression changing from shock to confusion: "I don't understand what you're saying."
Xie Yingmian glanced at Wen Ge and Wen Juexia and said, "You two should go out first."
Wen Juexia asked worriedly, "Sister Mianmian, what if this person hurts you?"
"She can't do it." Xie Yingmian said, "She doesn't dare to do it."
Wen Ge dragged Wen Juexia away.
When there was no one else in the room.
Xie Yingmian placed a piece of gold on the table.
Her fingers touched gold.
The gold disappeared with a whoosh.
Cao Jiaojiao's already pale face became even paler after she saw the disappearing gold.
She sat limply on the ground: "You, you have it too?"
Xie Yingmian: "Strange?"
Cao Jiaojiao didn't know what to say.
She should have thought of it earlier.
If she can possess something like the mustard seed space, others can possess it too.
Xie Yingmian said: "I give you two choices."
"One option is to honestly tell what you know."
"The second option is to let me torture you until you are unrecognizable and then tell you the truth."
Cao Jiaojiao bit her lip.
If Xie Yingmian had never seen the mustard seed space, she might still have made up a story.
Xie Yingmian also possesses the mustard seed space, and her lies will be exposed.
After weighing the pros and cons.
"I got it from someone," said Cao Jiaojiao.
"Who? Where did you get it?" Xie Yingmian asked.
"Don't try to fool me. I have limited patience. When my patience runs out, I'm not sure what I'll do."
"Oh, I forgot to tell you."
"Your biological father, mother, and two brothers are all in different rooms. This manor is the private property of Prince Ling's mansion and is heavily guarded. No one can save you."
Cao Jiaojiao's last hope was shattered.
She looked dejected. “When I was about eight years old, I met a dying man, and I got something from him.”
"I thought it was valuable, so I took it to the pawn shop and sold it."
"The pawnshop said it was worthless and kicked me out. I got so angry that I picked up a stone and tried to smash it to pieces."
"I failed to smash it and accidentally cut my finger. Blood flowed onto the thing, and it emitted a dazzling light. I was knocked unconscious by the impact of the light."
"When I woke up, I found something new in my mind. I've read books about strange things, and they always mentioned that gods and immortals have mustard seed spaces, which can accommodate everything. The thing in my mind was exactly the same as the mustard seed space, so I thought I had been blessed by the gods."
Xie Yingmian: "Is that dying person a man or a woman? How old is he? What clothes is he wearing?"
Cao Jiaojiao: "It's a woman."
"I can't tell her age, but she's definitely not young anymore. She must be at least thirty."
"As for what I was wearing, I don't quite remember."
"I just thought her clothes were dirty and covered in dirt, like they had just come out of the mud."
Xie Yingmian's heart sank.
"Her dress is black with the word 'longevity' on it?"
Cao Jiaojiao thought for a moment and said, "Yes, it seems so."
Xie Yingmian almost solved the case on the spot.
The person Cao Jiaojiao met was most likely the wet nurse who escaped from the coffin.
This is an unexpected gain among unexpected gains.
After taking action against the Cao family, she has been sending people to monitor the Cao family's every move.
Especially Cao Jiaojiao's actions.
After learning that Cao Jiaojiao had taken away the gold, silver and treasures from the Cao family's warehouse out of thin air, Xie Yingmian realized that Cao Jiaojiao had a rather large portable space on her body.
Portable space was not uncommon in the 29th century.
But, it is a rare thing in this era.
This is an unexpected gain.
The information obtained from Cao Jiaojiao might be related to the wet nurse, which was an unexpected surprise.
"Where did that dying man go later?" Xie Yingmian asked.
Cao Jiaojiao: "I don't know."
Xie Yingmian looked at her coldly.
Cao Jiaojiao felt a chill down her spine from being stared at.
She stammered, "I really don't know."
"I saw she was dying, so I looked through her body. She had nothing on her except that thing. I took it and ran away. I don't know where she went."
"Where did you see her?" Xie Yingmian asked.
Cao Jiaojiao gave an address.
Xie Yingmian frowned slightly.
This place is near Xie’s house.
The wet nurse faked her death and then came to the Xie family?
Or was it that the person Cao Jiaojiao saw was not the wet nurse at all?
"Give me the things that were originally in your mustard seed space." Xie Yingmian said.
Cao Jiaojiao's eyes flashed: "It's empty."
Xie Yingmian didn't waste any time talking to her.
She saw a heart-shaped stone hanging around Cao Jiaojiao's neck.
If my intuition is correct, this heart-shaped stone is the medium.
She walked up to Cao Jiaojiao and pulled the heart-shaped stone off.
"No, don't!" Cao Jiaojiao screamed and rushed over.
"Don't touch my things."
"Everything in there is mine. Why are you stealing my things?"
"Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you're Princess Ling."
“Give it back to me, give it back to me!”
