Yan Xia acted like a statue, barely daring to breathe loudly. Only when there was no more movement on the bed did she put the jewelry box into her spatial storage.
They didn't dare to search extensively anymore.
Leave directly.
After breaking into three more empty rooms.
Yan Xia arrived at the second floor of a multi-story building.
Unfortunately, as soon as her foot touched the ground, she stepped on a bellyband and almost slipped, but luckily she managed to grab the table for support.
The two people on the bed were working hard under the moonlight.
They made noises from time to time, completely unaware that someone was standing outside the gauze curtain.
Yan Xia felt like she was about to get a sty.
Without even searching, I quickly returned to my social media profile.
She paused for a while in the space before continuing her actions.
"Creak—"
As Yan Xia emerged from the space, her feet touched the wooden floor, making a soft sound. She looked around; this seemed to be a study, with a daybed on the right, a bookshelf on the left, and a desk in the center.
The table was covered with various booklets and books, as well as writing brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones.
Yan Xia casually flipped through the pages a couple of times.
The document contained only trivial matters, which she lost interest in and tossed aside. Since no one lived in the study, Yan Xia was less cautious and began rummaging through the drawers.
Layer upon layer.
Nothing of value was found.
She intended to leave, but her hand, which was holding onto the edge of the table, accidentally touched a mechanism.
"Click—"
A narrow drawer popped out from under the desk.
Yan Xia touched the envelope and pulled out more than a dozen envelopes.
She pulled out a sheet and flipped through it, her eyes widening instantly.
It turned out to be correspondence between Xu Wenyan and the governor, which she quickly saved to her spatial storage.
If we don't seize this opportunity, when will we?
Having made a great haul, Yan Xia prepared to leave.
Just as she was about to enter the space, she glanced at the bookshelf.
The black ceramic jar placed in the center of the bookshelf caught her eye. Logically speaking, Xu Wenyan liked elegance, and his ornaments were mostly in plain colors. However, this black ceramic jar stood out from the crowd.
She went over and rummaged around in the jar, but there was nothing inside. Undeterred, she tried to pick it up to take a look, but the jar seemed to be nailed to a shelf. Yan Xia didn't dare to pull it out forcefully. Remembering the mechanism from earlier, she gently turned the jar.
It actually works!
"Click—"
As the jar rotated, the bookshelf, like a swinging fan, led Yan Xia into a dark room. It was pitch black, without the moonlight, so dark that one could not see their own hand in front of their face.
Yan Xia took out a tinderbox from her spatial storage and opened the lid to see the path beneath her feet.
Unexpectedly, Xu Wenyan, who loves tinkering with mechanisms, doesn't pay attention to small details. Now, her secret has been exposed.
She walked downhill for seven or eight minutes before reaching the bottom. It was like a wide well, and she didn't know how it was ventilated, but her breathing was surprisingly smooth and she didn't lack oxygen.
At the bottom there is only a door that is half a person tall. Although it is wide, it is low and looks more like a window than a door.
Yan Xia bent over and squeezed inside. The moment she stood up, she almost lost her footing and fell to the ground.
What came into view were chests of treasure.
There were more than a dozen boxes.
There are gold ingots, silver ingots, and jewelry.
There are so many that they can't be closed, so they can only be left open like this.
"What a corrupt official! How much of the people's wealth must he have plundered?"
Yan Xia cursed viciously.
Unfortunately, her space wasn't big enough; she had already packed quite a lot of things, and now she could only fit three boxes at most.
However, it wasn't in her nature to only take three boxes. After thinking for a moment, Yan Xia came up with a plan. She first put the gold ingots into her spatial storage, then flashed back to her own house, and took the boxes out of her spatial storage. She made this trip back and forth, and finally emptied more than a dozen boxes of treasure. Before leaving, Yan Xia noticed that there were her shoe prints on the dust on the ground.
Her feet were small; you could tell at a glance that they were a woman's feet.
Moreover, the shoe prints were all over the outside, with the prints visible from the bottom but not from the outside, which was a bit eerie.
Yan Xia had a wicked idea. She slipped into Chen Shouguo's room and took his shoes, then slipped into the second floor of the house where she had just seen them playing on the bed and took the men's shoes from the floor.
Back in the study, they each put on one of their clothes and went into the dark room.
It's still only taking in and not giving out.
After doing all this, she slipped from the dark room into the study, restored the bookshelf to its original state, put the shoes back in their place, and went home.
The bedroom, which was originally quite large, is now filled with treasures.
The moonlight shone down, and the gold and silver jewelry glittered.
Yan Xia's heart was pounding. She broke out in a light sweat. After changing her clothes, she sat down on the edge of the bed.
"What should I do with all this treasure?" she murmured to herself.
Ten minutes later, Yan Xia put her dark clothes back on and appeared in a mountain valley a hundred miles outside the city, carrying a shovel.
She encountered a system bug.
First, I teleported from the space to the alley at the city gate, then teleported back into the space to the outside of the city, and then kept teleporting until I arrived at this godforsaken place.
Yan Xia dug a pit nearly four meters deep before stopping. She put the three boxes of gold from her spatial storage into the pit and then flashed home.
Yan Xia only began filling the soil after all the dozen or so boxes of treasure had been delivered.
Simply filling the soil isn't enough; we can also gather some wild grass and plant it on this land, so that the surrounding area isn't all green while this place remains empty.
Although this place is deserted, what if...?
Yan Xia didn't want her hard-earned treasure to be taken away in one fell swoop.
Fortunately, she was strong enough that she finished everything before dawn.
Back home, she quickly washed her hands, changed her clothes, and lay down on the bed, falling into a deep sleep.
I woke up in the morning.
Yan Xia looked at herself in the bronze mirror.
There was even mud in her hair, apparently from digging the hole yesterday.
"Baodong, boil some water for me, I want to take a bath."
Yan Xia stood on the second-floor balcony and called down.
Bao Dong is the only one who has a 100% affection for her and is the only one who will never betray her, so the other servants must not be allowed to see her appearance.
In less than half an hour, Yan Xia was already soaking in the bathtub. Bao Dong secretly took the water she used to wash her hair to the backyard and used it to water the ground. The water turned muddy and looked dirty.
"Sister Baodong, there aren't any flowers on the ground, why did you spill water here? By the way, should I go up and serve the master?"
Baoqiu suddenly appeared behind her.
Bao Dong was so frightened that his face turned pale.
"Uh, uh, no need. I noticed that it hasn't rained these past few days, and the muddy ground has dried out a bit from the sun. I just pulled up a few weeds, and my hands were covered in mud, so I washed them with Master's shampoo and then watered the ground."
“Alright, then I’ll go heat up the food for my master.” Baoqiu didn’t suspect anything and turned to leave.
Bao Dong breathed a sigh of relief.
She couldn't let anyone else know that her master had gone out last night. Although she didn't know what her master had done, she had to protect her master's privacy.
After Yan Xia finished showering and changing her clothes, she had Bao Dong comb her hair before going downstairs.
