Chapter 18 Verification Completed
Shen Yanrong finally felt relieved.
Lu Yao also breathed a sigh of relief.
To be honest, she was really afraid that the other party would ask some weird questions again, and then she would have to continue scratching her head and thinking of excuses, which would be too difficult for her.
Feeling happy, she just waved her hand and stroked the pallets and wooden boxes one by one. As she touched, the things she touched disappeared instantly.
But in the blink of an eye, the small hall that was previously full of things became empty.
Shen Yanrong rubbed his eyes, which were wide open and a little sore due to shock.
After hearing what his wife said, he was mentally prepared, but when this scene appeared before his own eyes, he still couldn't help but be shocked and amazed.
Fortunately, he was a man of strong character and quickly came to his senses. Thinking about what his family would face in the future, he told Lu Yao that he would go to boil some hot water as a preparation and go out to buy more things tomorrow before the officers and soldiers came to search.
There was no way before, but now we have the treasures of the immortals. If we make more preparations in advance, our wife and children will suffer less.
"No need," Lu Yao said, "I collected a lot of things in that world, which is enough for us for now."
Because of the end of the world, she developed a habit of stockpiling. Whenever she had the chance, she would try to put more things into the space in case of emergency. Except for her infancy, she would quietly move things into the space.
Shen Yanrong was delighted: "Sister Yao, how come you are so capable?"
He was truly convinced of his wife, even though this made him appear incompetent and useless, but she was his wife, and no one else had such a blessing.
Whenever he thought that the most special and beautiful woman in the world was his wife, he couldn't help but feel proud and happy.
He is so lucky and so happy.
Lu Yao was amused by Shen Yanrong's attitude and couldn't help but feel proud: "Such an excellent woman, you must cherish her well."
"Of course!"
Even if the other party does not have such a magical experience or immortal artifacts, she is the only woman he wants to treat sincerely for the rest of his life.
Oh, that girl Yueyue doesn’t count.
The two of them drank hot milk tea and chatted while waiting for people from the main courtyard to deliver something.
As for the chat, it was mainly because Shen Yanrong was really curious when he heard his wife talk about the miraculous experience during the time she was in a coma.
Regarding this, Lu Yao did not make up any more stories, but simply picked out some of her experiences in her previous life. Even if it was just the tip of the iceberg, Shen Yanrong was amazed and astonished.
"That world is so wonderful." When he heard his wife talk about that world where everyone is equal, every child can go to school and learn, and no matter whether they are lonely, widowed, sick or disabled, they all have corresponding welfare and protection. More importantly, everyone can have enough food and clothing, and have meat and white rice for every meal, he sighed sincerely, his tone full of envy and yearning.
Unfortunately, according to what Sister Yao said, based on the development of another world, their Dayong Dynasty is still in the ancient feudal society, and it is still a thousand years away from a modern society.
After hearing Lu Yao talk about how her parents sacrificed themselves in that world, social order collapsed, and how she was struggling to survive in the monster world, she couldn't help but feel distressed and blame herself: "If only I could be with you."
After going through so much, the wife still kept her original intention, but he, as a husband, was not by her side...
"Are you being stubborn again?" Lu Yao guessed what the man was thinking from the look on his face and said unhappily, "That was a test from the immortal."
Shen Yanrong smiled but did not explain.
Even though it was a test from an immortal, it did not affect the heartache, guilt and self-blame that she felt as her husband.
He secretly decided to be nicer to his wife in the future.
Perhaps they knew that Lu Yao and Shen Yanrong were not easy to fool, or that they had other plans in mind, so they sent things over again. The main courtyard did not play any more tricks.
This time, the leader was replaced by a middle-aged man, who was the Shen family's chief steward and the old man whom Shen Shiren trusted the most.
Butler Shen's attitude towards the two of them was obviously much more respectful.
First, I apologized to them, saying that I didn't know the rules and had caused them to suffer injustice. The master and the mistress had already punished them, so I asked them not to bear grudges and not take it to heart.
Then he asked the servants to put down the things they had brought, and took out the list to check with Shen Yanrong one by one. After confirming that it was correct, he signed it and then said goodbye and left.
He was efficient in his work and spoke with experience, and even when he saw the empty little hall he showed no surprise or disdain.
Lu Yao couldn't help but sigh: "This housekeeper Shen is worthy of being a housekeeper."
Shen Yanrong smiled. Even now, he still hadn't fully seen through this person.
This person had been serving Shen Shiren for a long time. Later, when the Shen family became prosperous, he also rose with the tide.
When his mother was still alive, this man took good care of and flattered them. Later, when the Rong family encountered trouble and his mother passed away, this man did not bully him like the others did. He even took care of him in private, which made his life in the Shen family a little better.
Therefore, even though the Shen family treated him like this, he was grateful to them in his heart.
only……
After learning that the Shen family was involved in what happened back then, he was no longer sure whether this person was taking care of him out of guilt or for some other purpose.
But none of this matters anymore.
Seeing that he was lost in thought, Lu Yao waved her hand in front of him, pointing at the boxes of silver. "Tell me, they don't think that replacing everything with silver will make it more difficult to transport and make us look bad, do they?"
Chen Yanrong nodded and speculated, "Perhaps they think we can't leave anytime soon, or perhaps they're just waiting for me to take the blame and pay with my life. By then, you and your widow won't be able to protect them, and these things will still belong to them."
According to the Shen family's moral character, this guess may be the most likely answer.
But...
The two men smiled at each other. They probably never dreamed that all the perfect plans would be useless in the end, and that all would be exchanged for silver, which was exactly what they wanted.
With this money, they will have the most favorable protection no matter where they go or what they do in the future.
Following the same method, they put all of these things into the space. Then they walked around the small yard again. In line with their fine qualities of being thrifty and frugal, they packed up everything that might be used in the future, including the water tank.
This is what is called plucking feathers from a passing goose.
What they didn't know was that when the officers and soldiers came to search their house the next day, they saw the dilapidated courtyard with bare walls and the clothes worn by the four members of their family, and they felt sympathy and pity for them. As a result, they received a lot of care in the days that followed.
Of course, this is all later.
