With the help of stealth skills, half a day is enough to empty half of the capital!
Ning Xi'er stealthily arrived at the main courtyard and stored all the dowry items from the chests in the courtyard into her spatial storage.
He easily found his way to his father's study, took out the spare key, and moved all the gold, jade, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, silver coins and banknotes that the Marquis's mansion had privately collected, leaving nothing behind.
Arriving at the room of Lady Chen, the concubine of the Marquis, he found the key to the storeroom and put all the silver, jewelry, clothes, fabrics, and precious ornaments in the storeroom into his spatial storage.
Most of these were the dowry of the original owner's mother, Shen Meng, the principal wife of the Marquis's family.
When Shen Meng got married, her maternal grandfather, the Liu family, the richest family in Jiangnan, gave half of the Shen family's dowry.
In the end, the glory, health, and even the dowry of the Marquis's principal wife were all seized by Madam Chen, the concubine whom the original owner's scumbag father had married.
The household's daily necessities were stored in a separate warehouse, managed by the steward.
While the housekeeper was directing the servants to hang the ribbons, Ning Xi'er secretly took out the warehouse key that she always carried in her sleeve.
The storeroom was opened, revealing furniture, horses and carriages, stirrups and saddles, fodder, servants' coarse linen clothing, cleaning tools, planting tools, seedlings, saplings, rice, flour, cooking oil, commonly used medicines, pills, and potions, etc.
Every single one is included, representing the entire revenue stream.
All of this was collected in the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.
Ning Xi'er returned to Madam Chen's room.
With the marriage of the Marquis's legitimate daughter under her management, she, who was currently in charge of the household affairs, still had the mood to take her two daughters shopping for jewelry...
They really don't take the original owner seriously at all!
Hmph! Ning Xier rummaged through everything, putting everything she could take away into her spatial storage.
The room appeared to be intact, but that was only on the surface.
Only the room's furnishings remained unchanged: the screen, cabinets, tables, chairs, dressing table...
But that's all that's left; Ning Xi'er has taken everything inside!
Ning Xi'er wouldn't stoop to using that bitch's stuff, but regardless of whether she used it or not, letting that bitch feel the "pain" would make her feel better...
Anyway, she has a lot of storage space, so these things won't take up much room...
Ning Xi'er went to the rooms of the two concubines in turn. Although they entered the family later and did not have much dowry, they had accumulated a considerable fortune over the years through the Marquis's rewards and personal enrichment.
Ning Xi'er followed the same method, leaving them with nothing but empty tables and cabinets, not even a single wooden hairpin.
Madam Chen and her two concubines had a total of twelve children, which Ning Xi'er swept away from the room one by one.
If a goose flies by, why wouldn't you take its feathers?!
Before leaving the manor, Ning Xi'er went to her mother's room.
This courtyard was completely out of place with the magnificent Marquis's mansion; the courtyard was desolate, and the red paint on the windows of the houses had peeled off.
The emaciated woman on the bed was none other than the original owner's mother, Madam Shen Meng, the first wife of the Marquis's mansion.
Ten years ago, he suddenly contracted a strange disease, became paralyzed in bed, and gradually lost consciousness.
Only two maids who had accompanied her to the dowry were guarding the room. Through the window, they could hear the intermittent sounds of lively activity from the main courtyard, and their grief was palpable.
Ning Xi'er remained hidden, so the maids in the room could not see her.
He walked to the bedside, shook the original owner's mother's hand as a farewell.
The person who seemed to be fast asleep, as if sensing something, actually gripped Ning Xi'er's hand tightly...
She couldn't make a sound, and the maid, who was still lost in thought, didn't even notice her for a moment.
Ning Xi'er left the room. She had originally wanted to check on her sister-in-law and the children for the original owner of this body, but then thought she probably wouldn't have the chance to see them again...
He then left immediately and ran wildly towards his maternal grandfather Shen Xiang's house.
Although she was occupying the original owner's body, Ning Xi'er thought that, within reasonable circumstances and to the best of her ability, she could appropriately protect and help those the original owner cared about...
For example, the place we're going to right now is the home of the original owner's maternal grandfather, Shen Xiang.
After the original owner's mother, Shen Meng, fell ill, her father—the current prime minister, Shen Qing—discussed with his son-in-law about bringing his daughter back to the mansion to recuperate...
But her scumbag father politely declined, tearfully promising to take good care of Chenmeng...
In reality, they were treating Shen Meng as a hostage.
The scumbag father not only coveted his father-in-law Shen Qing's status, but also had his eyes on his mother-in-law Liu's immense wealth.
According to the original owner's memories, shortly after her marriage, Prince Cheng was demoted and exiled. Shortly after the original owner was taken back by her scumbag father, something happened at the Prime Minister's residence...
Shen Xiang was falsely accused of forming cliques for personal gain and was imprisoned and investigated. He later hanged himself in prison, and all his property was confiscated.
The emperor, mindful of Minister Shen's "meritorious service in protecting the country," ordered his only son to be sent to the army and his second daughter to become a courtesan...
Perhaps it was because the original owner's resentment was too deep; thinking of all this, Ning Xi'er suddenly felt a headache, and her body became unsteady, as if she were about to faint...
