Chapter 40: Calculations of the Imperial Astronomical Observatory



"Nurse, woo woo~~"

When Ran Xiangyu saw Aunt Zhang, who was like a family member to her, she threw herself into her arms and burst into tears.

This made Aunt Zhang very distressed. She hugged Ran Xiangyu and comforted her, and even mentioned all eighteen generations of the Shen family's ancestors.

After crying for a while, Ran Xiangyu wiped her tears and said quickly,

"Nanny, I was beaten by my stepmother and those little bitches."

"They took away all the dowry my mother left me. Even the pearls and jade on my head were snatched away by them. Woo woo..."

"What!?" Aunt Zhang's eyes widened in shock, her face instantly furious.

"How dare they do this?!"

"Master Uncle has a dowry list. They have to spit out what they took in."

"Don't be afraid, Miss. We are right no matter what. We must get those things back..."

"These little bitches really think the young lady is easy to bully."

"They are blind. My uncle is not a pushover..."

“…”

Nanny Zhang's mouth was like a wound-up spring. She hugged the crying Ran Xiangyu and started talking to everyone in the Ran Mansion.

"Nurse." Ran Xiangyu raised her head from Nanny Zhang's arms, wiped her tears, and said hurriedly,

"Hurry up and have everyone on the farm pack up everything and follow me to my uncle's house."

"Leave no thread untouched. Pull out all the crops from the fields, whether ripe or not. Take away everything you can."

"Take away all the tables, chairs, and benches in the room. If you can't take the bed with you, just smash it..."

Ran Xiangyu thought of the Ran Mansion's empty and messy state and she wanted to tear the whole manor down.

"Nurse, go quickly, don't leave anything behind..."

Aunt Zhang looked at Ran Xiangyu in shock. "It's not very convenient to carry so many things on the road."

Zhuangzi said that big is not very big, but it is not very small either.

There are two courtyards where the master lives, and they have everything.

If we take everything away, even if we use all the carriages and carts on the farm together, we probably won't be able to fit them all.

Needless to say, there wasn't much good stuff in the place where the servants lived.

"Nanny, listen to me and take them all away. They will be chasing us soon."

Ran Xiangyu turned around and shouted at the two servants, "Hurry up and pack them up, take them all away."

The two servants nodded and ran to ask people to pack up.

"Nurse, we'll sell all these things when we get to Menglan City, and we can get a lot of silver."

Ran Xiangyu turned to look at Aunt Zhang, took her hand and walked into the yard.

There were some gold and silver jewelry in her yard, and they all had to be put away.

No matter whether the situation in the Ran Mansion was deliberately pretended for her to see or they really encountered thieves, she didn't want to leave a single hair to those people.

"That's... oops, okay."

Aunt Zhang frowned, and seeing Ran Xiangyu's determination to take them all away, she could only reluctantly agree...

These woods are all good woods. If they are taken to Menglan City and sold, they can fetch a lot of silver.

It’s a pity about the crops in the fields.

There has been a water shortage for over a month, and the reason the crops are growing so well is because everyone worked hard to dig wells, get water, and water the crops carefully.

She dared to say that among the farms of several nearby families, none had a well deeper than theirs.

However, those crops can be harvested now, but it would be best to wait another half month before harvesting them.

Nearly a hundred people in the entire village worked for an hour to pack up all the things in the fields and yards and tie them onto the carts.

There were a total of 20 carts and 3 horse-drawn carriages on the farm, all of which were packed full.

Everyone was standing by the cart, exhausted and sweating, looking at Ran Xiangyu.

They don't know what their master wants to do, they just know to do what they are told.

Ran Xiangyu glanced around, and her eyes finally fell on the open space where there were more than ten beds made of various woods.

“.....Smash!”

Ran Xiangyu said with a sullen face and gritted teeth,

"Smash them all, quick!"

These beds could not be taken away, so she had to smash them. She would definitely not leave them to those people.

Since they are all bullying her, then they can all just sleep on the floor.

"Miss, this step-out bed belongs to Madam..." Aunt Zhang looked at the exquisite step-out bed and felt very sorry.

The wood for this bed is rare and it cost thousands of taels of silver to build.

Even if you drag it to sell now, you can definitely get five thousand taels of silver.

Ran Xiangyu's eyes shifted to the bed, then turned back to look at the full cart.

"Lift this bed up and place it on top of the grain."

Ran Xiangyu pointed to a cart full of grain.

"Tie one of the horses to the cart to save some effort."

"Hurry up, don't be afraid to do what the eldest lady says."

When Aunt Zhang heard that the bed would not be smashed anymore, she immediately became excited.

It's really heartbreaking to waste thousands of taels of silver.

The servants immediately started to get busy, smashing the bed with axes.

"Bang bang bang~"

"Clang clang clang~"

"Crash~"

“.....”

Twenty slaves also lifted the exquisite and heavy step-out bed onto the cart.

A quarter of an hour later, Ran Xiangyu left the village with a large convoy and headed straight for Menglan City.

When Master Ran and his wife arrived at the manor with their servants on foot, they saw the manor in such a mess that they started yelling and cursing at the top of their lungs for a long time...
