That wasn't all. When a spooky sound effect sounded, Caique's forced mask of strength finally collapsed. She burst into tears and rushed towards Xia Daohua.
Xia Daohua used a small mushroom-shaped speaker and played the old opening theme song from "Liao Zhai," an instrumental version...
With the green phosphorescent flames flickering in all directions, the effect is amazing.
After the colorful girl collapsed from fear, it became easy to ask questions.
Just as a chess piece charging into battle, Miss Caique actually didn't know Xie Fanglan's purpose and subsequent plans.
But for Xia Daohua, it is enough to find out the person behind the colorful bird girl.
Xie Fanglan, this lady from a noble family who was very kind to her, actually let her maid get close to Wu Lang... Was this because she saw Wu Lang as a potential stock, or was there something else that meant this?
Summer rice flowers tend to be the latter.
Because if Wu Lang was really considered a potential stock, then a calculating person like Xie Fanglan would never let her maid get away with it, right?
After listing all the possibilities one by one, Xia Daohua guessed that Xie Fanglan was most likely eyeing her family's wealth and planned to seize "Daohuaxiang".
As for what specific method she intends to use, it is unclear.
But it doesn't matter.
At worst, we could just let this Caique girl stay in her own space for a few more days. Anyway, the space had a limit, and Caique wouldn't die if she stayed there for a few more days. She would just be unable to move and unconscious.
But since Xie Fanglan had the guts to plot against her brother, then it wouldn't be too much for her to retaliate...
Xia Daohua took the girl Caique, who was about to faint from crying, into the space, went in to take care of her, untied the ropes on her, put the handcuffs, blindfold and hood back in place, stuffed her into the storage area, put the small mushroom speaker back into the space, and then leisurely left the mass grave.
The next day, there was a legend in Jixiang County that strange noises were heard at the mass grave.
It seems that when Xia Daohua was interrogating Caique, there must have been someone else at the mass grave. However, that person didn't get too close, otherwise Xia Daohua would have discovered them long ago.
Come to think of it, with Xia Daohua's appearance, who would dare to get close to her in the middle of the night?
Xia Daohua thought about it carefully and realized that since Xie Fanglan was planning to take over "Daohuaxiang", she was probably after money.
Then, I will take revenge on her by giving her wealth.
The next evening, Xia Daohua hid in the space and quietly sneaked into the Xie family's house behind the county government office. Actually, it was all thanks to Xia Youcai's medicine box.
Xia Daohua placed the extremely effective knockout drug in the Xie family's big kitchen without hesitation.
As a result, the entire Xie family, from Magistrate Xie and his wife to the maids and servants, the old women who swept the courtyard, and the grooms who fed the horses in the stable, all slept soundly.
There were one or two people who had not eaten yet. Seeing that everyone in the house and yard was asleep, they realized something was wrong and wanted to wake them up. However, they found that these people were sleeping very soundly and could not be woken up even by pushing.
The two servants who discovered something was wrong were about to go out and call for help when they were knocked unconscious from behind - the person who did it was naturally Xia Daohua, the mastermind behind the incident.
Seeing that everyone was asleep, Xia Daohua began her real revenge.
Starting from County Magistrate Xie's study, Xia Daohua put everything that could be moved in the room into the space.
The heavy collection of books and the massive wooden bookshelves were all packed in. The four treasures of the study, paperweights, embroidered screens, collectibles, and ornaments were all packed in. Tables, chairs, benches, and other furniture were also packed in.
In addition to County Magistrate Xie's study, Xia Daohua also searched other rooms.
The bedrooms of County Magistrate Xie and his wife, the bedrooms of several young masters and ladies of the Xie family, the rooms of County Magistrate Xie's concubines, the public treasury of the Xie family and the private treasury of the mistress of the house... In the end, Xia Daohua even did not let go of the Xie family's firewood shed and stable.
In order to make room for all these miscellaneous things, Xia Daohua specially found many storage boxes and stuffed some of the emergency supplies that she had originally piled up in the storage area into the storage boxes, piling them up high.
After cleaning up the Xie family residence behind the county government office, Xia Daohua went to Xianmei Garden again.
Xianmei Garden, as the annex of County Magistrate Xie, also houses a number of antiques and daily necessities. Among other things, the tea sets and tableware are all exquisite official kiln porcelain.
Some are even antiques from hundreds of years ago.
There are also furniture such as tables, chairs, and benches, all made of huanghuali, red rosewood, and golden nanmu. Selling them to the Space Supermarket can exchange them for a lot of supermarket coins.
Xia Daohua also swept through Xianmei Garden and almost filled up the storage area, and the depression in her heart was finally relieved a little.
She knew that as a commoner, being schemed against by a superior like Xie Fanglan was a very normal thing in the time and space of the Great Chu Dynasty.
This place is different from modern society. For ordinary people in the time and space of the Great Chu Dynasty, the wealth they earned legally does not completely belong to them.
They have to find patrons and pay tribute to them. They have to bribe officials and runners they encounter while doing their work. They have to pay protection money to the hooligans on the street.
After deducting these, the remaining amount is your profit.
Even so, if there is too much remaining profit, it will still attract covetousness and even lead to fatal disaster.
Isn’t that what happened with the family annihilation case in Huazhi County?
Xie Fanglan set her sights on Wulang. Not only did she want to plot against "Daohuaxiang", she also wanted to plot against Wulang. This was what made Xia Daohua most unhappy.
I can understand that you are thinking about my money, after all, money is a motivating thing.
You still care about my family...
This is too much!
Although the fourth branch of the Xia family was poor but suddenly became rich, firstly, Xia Daohua concealed the real profit from his family. Secondly, the fourth branch and his wife were honest people who did not attract disasters, did not cause trouble, and did not like to show off.
They did not show much financial resources.
If not for this, Xie Fanglan might not be the only one thinking about plotting against "Daohuaxiang" at this time.
Xia Daohua thought about it and decided to find a good teacher for Wulang and give him some special treatment.
If Wulang had passed the exam earlier, his family wouldn't have to struggle so much.
If she hadn't severed her relationship with the first wife, she could have invested more in Xia Dalang. After all, the two families were still within the fifth degree of mourning, and if Xia Dalang passed the imperial examination, her family could also benefit from it.
However, it seems that Xia Dalang has produced good bamboo shoots from bad bamboo, but Xia Daohua is still worried.
The eldest brother's family, including the deceased Xia Youcai and Liu Shi, and the missing Jinhua and Yinhua during the chaos, were not good people. Who knows if Xia Dalang can truly remain untainted?
