Han Yixian took out a bunch of keys hanging around his neck from his clothes and opened the iron gate.
After entering the room, they didn't feel any dampness or stuffiness, indicating that there must be a well-ventilated area. The secret room was cleverly constructed.
Once inside the iron gate, He Yuhan took out two emergency lights so that she could see more clearly inside the secret room.
The space inside the door was quite large, a hall of about thirty square meters, with some boxes placed in it, and doors on all four walls.
Han Yi first looked through the bunch of keys and used one of them to open a door.
He carried the emergency light into the room, which was estimated to be several dozen square meters in size and filled with cabinets.
Han Yixian opened a cabinet, which contained individual compartments filled with various items. He Yuhan could tell at a glance that they were all very precious antiques.
Han Yi first looked around the things in the room and said, "Yuhan, this secret room originally had another entrance in my grandfather's study in the old Han family house. Later, my grandfather knew that his health was failing and he also wanted to guard against Zeng Yufen, so he sealed off that entrance in his study. That way, no matter how hard they searched in the old house, they would not be able to find this secret room."
However, leaving these things here is not foolproof. It would be troublesome if they were discovered one day, especially since Zeng Yufen and the others have always been eyeing the Han family's property.
They still don't know how much wealth the Han family has, because Grandpa has always been wary of Zeng Yufen, and she has never seen any of these things. She knows the Han family has a lot of wealth, but she doesn't know exactly how much.
My grandfather wrote in his letter that I should find a way to move these things away and store them in a safe place. I feel that nowhere is as safe as your space, so you should put them all into your space.
The situation is getting increasingly tense. After we take our things this time, we'll try our best not to go back to Kyoto.
Looking at the crystal-clear white jade Guanyin statue in the cabinet, and then at the jade toad and jadeite cabbage placed next to it, He Yuhan knew that these were rare treasures.
The contents of each cabinet Han Yixian opened were dazzling and astonishing. The Han family truly lived up to its reputation as a great clan with a thousand-year history; no wonder so many people coveted it.
Without hesitation, He Yuhan stored everything, including the cabinet, into her spatial storage. If anyone found out about these things, it would be a disaster. Hadn't Zeng Yufen and the others been scheming against the Han family for decades? Wasn't it all for these treasures?
As Han Yixian opened room after room, He Yuhan truly witnessed the strength of the Han family. In the end, she felt a bit visually fatigued from collecting all the items.
Those boxes of gold, jewelry, jade, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, etc., many of which even He Yuhan didn't know what they were, only that they were very ancient.
In this era, it would be no exaggeration to say that the Han family is a family of billionaires.
However, Han Yixian's grandfather was truly prescient. He collected all these things decades ago and never showed them to anyone. So even Zeng Yufen, who had been married into the Han family for decades, had never seen these things.
It was already past midnight when they finished collecting everything from the secret room, which shows just how much stuff there was. Sweat beaded on He Yuhan's forehead in the cold winter night.
After packing everything up, Han Yixian breathed a sigh of relief, took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from He Yuhan's forehead, and said, "You must be exhausted. Let's go back and rest. We'll go to another place to pack things up tomorrow night."
He Yuhan asked in astonishment, "You mean this isn't all, there's more?"
Han Yixian looked at his daughter-in-law's adorable face and laughed, "How could my grandfather possibly put everything in one place? Everyone knows you can't put all your eggs in one basket."
He Yuhan gave Han Yixian a weak thumbs-up and said, "I admire you. I really admire your Han family ancestors. They were so good at accumulating things. I wonder if my space warehouse will be filled with your Han family's treasures."
Han Yixian laughed and said, "Don't worry about that, it definitely won't be as much as the supplies you gave us last time. Let's go, let's go back early so we can get some rest."
The two retraced their steps and climbed back up the dry well. Han Yixian, worried that He Yuhan would catch a cold, bundled her up tightly, then locked the courtyard gate and took He Yuhan home.
When Han Yi got home, he saw that He Yuhan was not in good spirits and knew that his wife was tired. He quickly lit a charcoal brazier in the room, helped He Yuhan wash up, and then tucked her into bed.
Han Yixian quickly finished washing up, and instead of going back to his own room, he went straight into He Yuhan's bed and hugged her tightly.
He Yuhan felt very tired today and didn't feel like arguing with Han Yixian. Since they had already slept together, she didn't care about doing it one more time, since nothing had actually happened.
He Yuhan changed into a comfortable position and quickly fell asleep.
Han Yixian thought He Yuhan would kick him out, but he was surprised to find that he could stay tonight.
He felt a surge of joy and pulled the person closer to his chest before drifting off to sleep himself.
The two of them slept in late the next day, not getting up until the sun was high in the sky around 8 a.m.
After breakfast, Han Yi saw that He Yuhan was still listless, so he told her to rest at home.
He went out alone on his bicycle. He hadn't parked his car, which he'd driven from City C to avoid detection, so he now traveled by bicycle.
He rode his bicycle to the parking lot, then drove to his father's office. He needed to ask how things were going and also see his mother's photo.
