Chapter 19: Empty, Empty Everything
She worked all night and finally emptied all the warehouses in those mansions.
It was already dawn when she returned to the house. Her body was definitely not in the same shape as before. Before, she didn't need to sleep or eat.
But it’s not possible now. Her spiritual power has not fully recovered yet, and she still feels hungry and sleepy like them.
So when she returned to the yard, she was so sleepy that she went back into the house and fell asleep.
She didn't sleep for long before she was woken up by the noise outside.
"Jiang Nanyuan, you bitch, get out here!"
Hearing the shouting outside, Jiang Nanyuan frowned unhappily. She rubbed her temples and sat up.
After changing clothes, he walked forward and opened the door. The person standing outside was Jiang Xiuxiu.
Jiang Xiuxiu saw Jiang Nanyuan finally open the door. She pointed at Jiang Nanyuan and wanted to say something, but before she could open her mouth, Jiang Nanyuan slapped her in the face.
Jiang Xiuxiu widened her eyes, covered her red face, and looked at Jiang Nanyuan in disbelief.
"You bitch, you dare to hit me again?"
Last time, she was slapped by her because of the incident in the yard, and this time she hit herself again. She had never been slapped in her life.
My eyes turned red with anger.
"Pa." Before she could react, Jiang Nanyuan slapped her on the other side of her face.
"That's symmetrical."
"You...you bitch..."
“Pah!”
Before Jiang Xiuxiu could finish her words, she was slapped twice more.
Jiang Xiuxiu was completely stunned by her.
"What are you doing making such a fuss outside my yard so early in the morning? And I hate it most when people point their fingers at me and scold me.
As your eldest sister, I will punish you lightly for your outrageous words and disrespect for my elder sister."
"Who do you think you are..."
Jiang Xiuxiu subconsciously wanted to refute, but when she saw Jiang Nanyuan's murderous eyes, she swallowed the rest of her words.
"Tell me, what are you doing here? If you don't have anything to do, get out of here and don't get in my way!"
Jiang Xiuxiu then remembered why she came. When she woke up this morning, she found that all the valuable jewelry in her room had disappeared.
The first person she suspected was Jiang Nanyuan. After all, she had grown up on the farm for so many years and was a country girl who had never seen the world.
She suspected that the jewelry she lost was stolen by her, so she came here angrily without even having breakfast.
"Did you steal my things? All my jewelry is gone, you thief! I'm going to tell my grandmother and let her punish you."
Jiang Xiuxiu was really a little afraid of Jiang Nanyuan's eyes. After suffering two losses in a row, she didn't dare to stay here any longer. She said some harsh words and turned around and ran towards the old lady's yard.
Jiang Nanyuan sneered when he saw her running away. Qiuyue came over with the washbasin and helped Jiang Nanyuan finish washing up.
She looked at Jiang Nanyuan worriedly, wanting to say something but hesitant.
If the second young lady goes to complain to the old lady, the old lady will definitely support her, and then the old lady will definitely cause trouble for the eldest young lady.
Should I give a reminder?
"Just say what you want to say."
Hearing Jiang Nanyuan's words, Qiuyue no longer hesitated, "Miss, the second young lady just ran to the old lady to complain. I'm afraid the eldest young lady will be punished by the old lady."
Because of the two young masters, the old lady also likes the second young lady very much.
"It's okay. They don't have time to bother me today. Go and call my mother."
"Yes." Although Qiuyue didn't know why Jiang Nanyuan said that, she still obediently retreated and headed towards Lin Zhixue's yard.
Chunhua brought breakfast over, and Jiang Nanyuan sat at the table, eating breakfast slowly and leisurely.
Just as she finished eating, Lin Zhixue hurried over with her maid.
Seeing her coming, she sent all the maids away, then she closed the door and talked to Lin Zhixue in the room.
She told her everything Baizhi had said to her last night, as well as Xiaohong's betrayal.
She felt very sad when she heard that Xiaohong had betrayed her.
However, she was not sad for long and soon accepted the fact. After going through a series of events that followed, her heart had become extremely strong.
"Yuan'er, when I came here just now, I heard the servants in the mansion talking about how the mansion seemed to have been robbed.
Several courtyards have been robbed by thieves. Don’t you think this is a rare occurrence?”
Lin Zhixue quickly adjusted her mood and told Jiang Nanyuan the news she had heard on the way.
When she heard the news, the first person she thought of was her.
Although Jiang Nanyuan did not tell her about the space, she knew that Jiang Nanyuan was now very powerful, so she would not be particularly surprised even if she did it.
She just thought that Jiang Nanyuan did a great job.
When Jiang Nanyuan heard Lin Zhixue's words, she smiled lightly and did not answer her question. Instead, she changed the subject.
"Mom, do you want to take Baizhi back with you, or let her stay with me first?"
"Let Baizhi follow you first."
She has that girl Xiaohong by her side, so she has to deal with her first.
"Okay, then let her stay with me here. Okay, mom, I've told you everything I need to tell you. I'm still a little sleepy and want to go back to sleep for a while."
After Jiang Nanyuan finished speaking, she couldn't help but yawn. She was indeed still very sleepy and was woken up not long after she fell asleep.
"Yuan'er, go and have a rest. I'll be leaving first."
Seeing Jiang Nanyuan so sleepy, her guess became more and more certain. She was probably involved in the theft in the Marquis' Mansion.
She went back with her maid. Jiang Nanyuan asked Qiuyue and Chunhua to guard the door while she went back to take a nap.
Chunhua and Qiuyue did as they were told and stood guard at the door.
While Jiang Nanyuan was sleeping, the entire capital was in chaos, and the homes of many high-ranking officials in the capital were robbed.
A lot of people gathered at the gate of Jingzhao Yin Mansion, all of whom came to report the theft.
When Jiang Xiuxiu went to the old lady to complain, the old lady was also angry about losing her things.
At this time, Jiang Nanfeng was also with the old lady. When the old lady woke up in the morning, she found that something seemed to be missing from the furnishings in her room.
She used to be a peasant woman in the village and had never seen the world. Since she became the old lady of the marquis's mansion, she has become very vulgar and likes to put all the precious things in the house.
How could she not be heartbroken that so many good things disappeared overnight? She immediately called Jiang Nanfeng over.
She cried to him about the things she had lost.
Jiang Nanfeng was also a filial son. Seeing his mother crying so sadly, he stepped forward to comfort her and promised to buy her a new one in the future.
Just when she had comforted the old lady, Jiang Xiuxiu came again. Before Jiang Xiuxiu could say anything, the maid beside Liu Shuang and the maid in Luo Yurou's courtyard came over at the same time.
They all knelt in front of Jiang Nanfeng, "My Lord, something was lost in my princess's yard. Please come over."
"My Lord, something was also lost in Concubine Liu's courtyard."
