Chapter 5: Looting the Dark Room
Originally, he just wanted to avenge the original owner the night before her wedding, cripple Ji's leg, break Su Rongyan's arm, and then give Su Hongan, who killed the original owner with a slap, a chronic poison, so that they could also taste the pain that the original owner had suffered. Now it seems that doing so is really too easy for them!
So, on a dark and windy night three days before her wedding, Su Wanyan, dressed in black, nimbly avoided the patrolling guards in the front yard. According to the original owner's memory, Su Wanyan quietly moved to the window of Su Hongan's study.
It was past nine o'clock in the evening, and it was already curfew time on Guan Street. Servants were not allowed to move around freely in the Su Mansion. Su Hongan's study was even darker. Su Wanyan didn't think much about it and was about to push the window open to enter when she suddenly heard someone talking in the study.
Although the unscrupulous author has abandoned the plot and not filled it, many people in her book are masters. There are masters everywhere who can judge whether there is someone within ten feet by their breathing.
Su Wanyan was afraid of being discovered, so she held her breath and concentrated, not daring to be careless again.
"Please, Eunuch Gao, please inform the Emperor that I will not let His Majesty down. When my daughter gets married, please arrange for someone to deliver this secret letter to Prince Xiao's mansion."
This is Su Hongan's voice.
A shrill voice followed, "That's great. I'll go back and report to the Emperor now, Master Su. The Emperor is waiting for your good news."
This is the voice of the eunuch Gao Gonggong.
After everyone left, Su Wanyan waited under the window for a long time before gently pushing it open and jumping in.
Wearing night vision goggles, Su Wanyan could see the furnishings in the study clearly. She didn't expect that Su Hongan was a man who knew how to enjoy life. Any piece of furnishings in the study was a treasure.
"Oh, I see the treasure but can't take it away immediately. My heart feels so cold and uncomfortable!" Su Wanyan has not left the Su Mansion yet. None of these seemingly good things can be touched.
But she will not be polite to those good treasures hidden in the dark and never seen in the light.
Ancient study rooms all had dark rooms. Su Wanyan had seen the author's description of Su Hongan's dark room in the book and knew where the switch of the dark room was.
So, Su Wanyan opened the door of the dark room easily, and then, her beling peach blossom eyes were almost blinded by the gold, silver and jewelry in the room.
No wonder Su Hongan didn't hesitate at all when he heard that she wanted to take back Meng Jinwei's dowry. It turned out that her private treasury was so rich.
Twenty boxes of gold bars, forty boxes of silver ingots, ten boxes each of pearls and agates, ten boxes each of gold and silver jewelry, ten boxes each of calligraphy and paintings and antiques, ten boxes each of various ornaments inlaid with gold, silver, and pearls, ten boxes each of silver bills ranging from 100 to 1,000 taels, and two large boxes of silver bills worth 10,000 taels...
Wow! Although Su Hongan usually pretends to be a righteous gentleman, he actually plunders so much of the people's wealth behind the scenes.
She is now also a citizen of the Great Zhou Kingdom. If she spends it, it can be considered as taking from the people and using it for the people, right?
What was there to hesitate about? With a few waves of Su Wanyan's hands, all the neatly stacked boxes were instantly put into the space. Even the table used to place the silver bill box was taken away by Su Wanyan.
From the original owner who was poor and weak, Su Wanyan became rich overnight. All she needed was a few more dark rooms like Su Hongan to achieve it.
