Chapter 2: Receiving Goods in the Space, Receiving, Receiving, Receiving!
She was going to her parents' room anyway.
Nu Bai dug out the treasure chest he mentioned and put it into his spatial storage. He also put away all the gold and silver jewelry on the dressing table. His father liked to collect calligraphy, paintings, and vases, and there were quite a few displayed in the room, but he put them all away.
I opened the wardrobe, and inside were clothes made entirely of fine brocade, each piece looking brand new, as if they'd never been worn. I put them all away. I don't know if I'll ever have the chance to wear them again, but I could sell them for a good price!
Most importantly, she wanted to ensure that those who raided her home wouldn't be able to take a single hair.
Thinking of this, she put the bedding into her space.
They ransacked the house in the middle of the night. Even if they caught thieves, who would care?
The Dali Temple will at most issue a judgment. The Shen family is busy hosting guests, and the guards are lax, giving the thieves an opportunity. By then, the plaintiff will have been exiled; who would be so idle as to investigate this matter?
With that in mind, everything that the eyes could see was taken away.
She even tore down the tables, chairs, benches, expensive flowers, plants, and bed curtains. If it weren't for the obvious fact that she was moving the bed, she would have taken the carved rosewood bed with her no matter what!
Forget it, the tables and chairs can be explained, but if the bed is gone, that's going to be associated with the mysterious. If we slap the label of witchcraft on the Shen family, it won't just be exile.
When she left, all that was left in her parents' room was a bare bed board.
Grandpa and Grandma's room is definitely not to be forgotten. Father, Mother, and other younger relatives have also given them many good things as a sign of filial piety.
The same bed board was used.
Then there were three younger brothers and one younger sister, the father's two concubines, three illegitimate sons, and three illegitimate daughters.
All of them will be put on the bed.
Jump over the wall and you'll find your second uncle's house, and next door are your third and fourth uncles. The whole family should be together, and they all share the same bed.
The kitchens of her uncles' families were also taken care of. Her uncles' entire families went to her house for a feast, and even most of the servants went to her house to help. They could take anything from the kitchen!
Chicken, duck, fish, meat, all kinds of cured and salted meat, vegetables, fruits, rice, flour, oil—anything the kitchen has, we'll take!
They even took away the wok. She has all kinds of pots in her space, but she doesn't have this kind of big, blackened iron wok!
Pack up the cooking utensils, chop them up in the corner, and stack the firewood high up in the wall!
We buy red coal, silver slag coal, and loose coal blocks!
A row of more than a dozen large water vats, put them away!
Pickled vegetables and soybean paste jar, put them away!
"Master, master, I accidentally swept through the neighbor's house and found a cellar. The cellar is full of sparkly treasures!"
Anything produced by Nu Bai is guaranteed to be of high quality. Collect it!
It took her more than two hours to clean up. After today, she will definitely be under a lot of scrutiny, and it will be difficult for her to clean up like this again.
"Nu Bai, wanna go for something big?"
"Master, Nu Bai knows what you're thinking~ Nu Bai loves collecting things with you the most, so please collect as much as you like!"
Shen Lanxi's phoenix eyes gleamed, and the corners of her mouth lifted slightly: "Let's go!"
To confuse the public, she focused on the Shen family and specifically targeted wealthy but unscrupulous merchants and corrupt officials who were greedy and incompetent. She swept through their homes, leaving no stone unturned, and the choice of which family to select depended entirely on her mood.
After sweeping the circle, they headed towards the Prince of Zhennan's Mansion.
Almost as soon as he landed at the Zhennan Prince's Mansion, Nu Bai's notification sound rang out.
"A group of people in armor headed towards the Shen residence!"
They've arrived; the ransacking has begun.
Instead of returning to the new house, he went directly to the storeroom of the Prince of Zhennan's mansion. He took all of Zhou Ruyuan's rewards for his military achievements, the spoils he brought back from the battlefield, the imperial gifts he received when he left the palace to establish his own mansion, and the tributes from the officials.
In addition, her dowry, totaling 108 loads, has all been moved into the warehouse and registered.
"Take it all, don't even leave Zhou Ruyuan a single box of needles and thread!"
"Nu Bai, scan the area for hidden treasure?"
"Master, no, but there are several rooms in the backyard filled with glittering gold items, and a man in red is flirting with a woman who looks somewhat like you."
The only man in the entire palace dressed in red was Zhou Ruyuan. Could the one who looked somewhat like her be her beloved concubine?
Great, you've successfully disgusted her!
"Just wait, it'll be their turn soon!"
“Master, master, you should say it’s the turn of those two scoundrels.”
Shen Lanxi smiled. Even something as inhuman as Nu Bai has moral standards, yet they don't know anything about propriety, righteousness, and shame. It's like being stabbed in the backside with a knife; it's an eye-opener!
After returning to her room and changing into her wedding attire, she called out, "Has the Prince returned?"
Autumn Frost's voice rang out: "Miss, not yet!"
Shen Lanxi's tone was filled with deep disappointment: "Oh, I see. Then I'll rest. Keep watch at the door and don't let anyone disturb me. I might sleep in a little later tonight!"
"Yes, miss. With me guarding the place, I guarantee no one will be able to get in!"
Shen Lanxi waited for three breaths, but Qiu Shuang's voice did not come out. The next second, she leaped out of the palace and headed straight for the imperial city!
The city gates of the imperial city open at 5:30 a.m. for daily errand runners and those who collect chamber pots. The city officially opens at 6:00 a.m., and civil and military officials begin to enter the imperial city from 6:30 a.m. to begin court sessions around 7:30 a.m.
At 5:30, she ran wildly to the city gate, her hair disheveled, in full view of the guards, purchasing staff, and chamber pot cleaners.
At first, the guards did not recognize Shen Lanxi and pointed their spears at her with a cold glint in their eyes.
"How dare you! This is a forbidden area of the imperial city..."
Before she could finish speaking, Shen Lanxi gathered her disheveled hair to both sides.
"I am Shen Lanxi. I want to complain to the Empress Dowager and I want to complain to my uncle, the Emperor!"
Shen Lanxi practically grew up in the capital, her status comparable to that of a princess. Everyone in the capital knew her!
"I want to file a complaint! Prince Zhou Ruyuan of Zhennan has deceived and humiliated me. On our wedding night, he didn't even step into my room. He spent the whole night in the concubine's room and called for water three times... I want to ask the old ancestor why he treated me like this!" Shen Lanxi cried and shouted as she held up the token to enter the imperial city and walked inside!
This token was specially bestowed by the Empress Dowager; no reporting is required, and one can directly enter the Empress Dowager's palace!
The token was genuine, and no one dared to stop them.
Only a few people knew about the order to raid Shen's mansion; even the city guards were unaware of it!
Shen Lanxi ran towards the Empress Dowager's palace as if she had entered an empty place, crying and shouting, holding up the token!
Along the way, no one uttered a sound, and no one dared to stop them.
After Shen Lanxi disappeared from sight, the city guard leader slapped his forehead and realized what had happened.
"What are you all standing there for? Go and report this!"
Only then did the guards remember that even if they had a token, they still had to report it.
They weren't just stunned by what they saw, they were stunned by what they heard!
Why would he leave such a stunning beauty like Shen Lanxi to sleep in a concubine's room on his wedding night?
And Shen Lanxi found out too! What's even more unbelievable is that she knew how many times he called for water? What's the difference between this and seeing through clothes to see through underwear?
Prince Zhou Ruyuan of Zhennan is going to lose face big time!
