As night fell and everyone was fast asleep, Ning Xi'er concealed herself, took out the key she had taken from the jailer, and gently opened the cage.
The silent cell was filled with a strong, damp smell and the sounds of snoring rising and falling...
But the slight rattling of the chains immediately brought Zheng Chengguang and Zheng Ye to their senses, and Eunuch Xu also slowly opened his eyes, listening intently to the sounds around him.
There was a slight click from the lock, as if it had opened and then locked again...
But when they turned their heads slightly, they saw no one.
They looked at each other, wondering if they were hallucinating, or if the voice was indeed coming from a cell next door.
The three of them fell into deep self-doubt.
In the darkness, Xie Zhun slowly closed his eyes.
Before leaving the cell, Ning Xi'er passed by two sleeping jailers.
It's not the same two people as before.
Ning Xi'er applied a potent laxative to their silver ingots; they're probably all visibly defectic by now...
Ning Xi'er slowly opened the prison door. The guards outside were dozing off, guns in hand.
The two guards who had previously intended to molest the maids were just coming out of the latrine one after the other.
His steps were unsteady, and he covered his buttocks with one hand, crying out "Ouch, ouch!"
Ning Xi'er strode over and kicked the two men several times.
"puff!"
They kicked too hard and couldn't hold it in; they had just finished defecating when they defecated again, and now they were both in their pants!
Ning Xi'er pinched her nose in disgust, and while they were distracted, she took out her two silver ingots from their pockets.
He quickly washed his hands with the spiritual spring water, rinsed the silver ingot, and removed the remaining laxative.
Ning Xi'er cherishes her time. She has only one purpose in coming out this time: to empty the family property confiscated from the Duke of Huguo's mansion!
Before marrying into the Prince Cheng's Mansion, I was unsure whether the fate of the Duke of Huguo's Mansion would be the same as the original owner's memories...
Once inside the prison, he discovered that, just like in the original owner's previous life, the Duke of Huguo's mansion had been ransacked. How could the wealth accumulated by the blood and flesh of such a meritorious military family be allowed to fall into the hands of those dog slaves who ransacked the house!
Ning Xi'er remained invisible throughout, as the main gate and surrounding area were guarded by imperial guards, and opening the gate would cause a disturbance...
Ning Xi'er, unconcerned with formalities, climbed straight in through a small hole in the courtyard wall that was only knee-high...
As soon as I crawled inside, I was startled!
A pair of wide eyes immediately stared at her, and it was wagging its tail at her!
Just as the puppy opened its mouth, preparing to bark fiercely at the uninvited guest and stop her from leaving...
Ning Xi'er directly put it into her spatial storage!
Not a sound, not a single dog hair was left!
The Duke of Huguo's mansion was deserted. The commander of the Imperial Guards dispatched men to surround both the Prince of Cheng's mansion and the Duke of Huguo's mansion.
Confiscating the residences of high-ranking officials was a coveted job, and even though the Prince Cheng's residence and the Duke of Huguo's residence were located in different places, the commander of the Imperial Guards was reluctant to part with them...
The original plan was to raid the Prince of Cheng's mansion first, and then go to the Duke of Huguo's mansion...
Unexpectedly, a sudden change occurred: only the walls of Prince Cheng's mansion remained, the palace and imperial street were burglarized, and the commander of the imperial guards was recalled...
Therefore, the items inside the Duke of Huguo's mansion remained as they were, except for a few valuable small items that the imperial guards stationed there secretly took away.
All the large items in the mansion were registered, and they dared not take them without the approval of the commander.
Ning Xi'er didn't look for the storeroom; instead, she went straight along the main road and emptied the rooms on both sides one by one.
Walking into the backyard, a quiet courtyard, the furnishings inside inexplicably stirred Ning Xi'er's heart.
Without time to think it through, Ning Xi'er moved all the plants and furnishings in the courtyard, leaving only an empty frame.
Just as I was about to leave, I saw a tiny miniature house structure next to the door, and I couldn't help but think of the puppy that had just been taken into my space...
So this is its den!
Move out!
Instant income space.
The storeroom was located behind the main courtyard, filled with gold, silver, and jade artifacts—clearly royal rewards bestowed after a victorious battle...
Ning Xi'er felt a pang of sadness; she had risked her life for these material possessions...
Who knows, they might all have to be taken back someday?!
Take it away! Take it away! We can't let this dog emperor get it!
The Duke of Huguo's mansion, having served three dynasties and undergone several expansions, was much larger than the Prince of Cheng's mansion.
After everything was moved, I walked back to my cell. The sky was already beginning to lighten with the first hint of dawn.
The jailers guarding the door, who had been dozing off, all woke up.
Holding two food containers, he was grabbing food haphazardly.
Ning Xi'er originally intended to slip into the slightly ajar cell door while they weren't looking...
But when their gaze fell upon the food box, they couldn't help but stop in their tracks.
