The old monk and Mr. Li were shocked to see the empty secret room.
"What's going on? Where are my things?" Mr. Li rubbed his eyes and looked at the huge empty secret room in front of him in disbelief.
The old monk couldn't believe it either. The torch in his hand dropped to the ground with a snap, and his steps trembled a little.
"Where are my things? Where are my things?" the old monk roared with his eyes wide open.
"Master, maybe you remembered it wrongly, and that thing is not here at all." Master Li didn't want his huge fortune to be wasted in the end.
The master also said that there were countless gold, silver and treasures here, and he only wanted two or three things, and the rest of the treasures would be left to him.
Otherwise, how could he listen to the old man and take the risk to follow the master?
"My precious, my precious." The old monk sat down on the ground with a sad look on his face. "It's all over now."
Wang Yue and his group were all confused at the moment, but after listening to what the old monk and Mr. Li said, it was not difficult to understand something.
There must have been a lot of things placed here before, and they must have been very valuable. I just don’t know who took all the things here.
Wang Yue walked to the front holding a torch and looked down to observe carefully.
It was discovered that a lot of things must have been placed in there before, because there were obvious traces of things placed on the ground, which was in stark contrast to the area at the door.
"There were indeed a lot of things placed here in the past, but they must have been moved away later." Wang Yue suddenly spoke while holding a torch and looking at the old monk.
He often escorts goods and has a lot of experience, so he can still see the situation here.
When the old monk and Mr. Li heard Wang Yue's words, they looked up at him in surprise.
"What did you say?" they both said in unison.
"What I mean is, there was indeed something here before, but it must have been moved away recently."
He pointed to a place inside and said, "Something was obviously placed here before. Look, there are still traces of it."
"Look at the doorway. It's all flat. There are no marks of being pressed. There are only footprints."
The old monk stood up and walked over with Mr. Li to take a closer look.
Indeed, there are traces of boxes being stored here, indicating that things were indeed here before.
But this place is so secluded, how could anyone have been here?
Even he had to follow the map given to him by his senior brother to find this place, and the location of the mechanism was also very hidden.
"This, could it be that someone came here before us and moved the things away?" Master Li covered his chest, unable to believe it.
Rather than this, he would rather the master walked into the wrong secret room. If that was the case, then their trip would have been in vain, and they would have lost several people in vain.
"It should be." Apart from this, Wang Yue couldn't think of any better reason.
After all, that's what they saw.
The old monk couldn't bear it anymore and fainted, falling to the ground with a bang.
Master Li and the others saw this and quickly came over, "Master..."
——
That day, Wen Mianmian got up very early because today was the day to pay respects to the concubine.
"Princess, I heard yesterday that the concubine brought her cousin here. I heard that she is quite pretty." Shannai told Wen Mianmian the gossip she had heard while helping her comb her hair.
Wen Mianmian's eyes, which were a little sleepy, immediately opened wide when she heard Shannai's words.
"What is Fu Jin's cousin doing here?" No wonder Wen Mianmian was surprised.
If she is a cousin, then she must not be married yet. How could the wife suddenly bring a cousin into the house?
Could it be that Fu Jin wants to do something again?
This mansion is full of hidden dangers, so it's no wonder Wen Mianmian would think too much.
"I heard that the talent show is about to begin, and that cousin is here to learn the rules from the wife."
"But I think this matter is not that simple. You can learn the rules anywhere, and you have to learn the rules in the palace for a period of time after entering. Why do you need to learn the rules with Fu Jin? Who knows what he is up to."
Shannai's words were not groundless. She heard from Wang An this morning that some people in the mansion were saying that the concubine's cousin was the one specially chosen by the concubine for the Fourth Master.
Maybe after the selection, this cousin will become the Fourth Master's princess.
The concubine is qualified to select people for the master. I heard that those concubines were selected by the concubine for the Fourth Master.
Although the Fourth Master didn't say anything, he didn't like it, so he never went to their place.
"You can just say this here, but don't say anything else after you get out."
After all, this matter has not been made clear. It would be bad if I said something wrong and got caught.
Although Shannai was her maid, the one who was in charge of the household was the wife. If the wife's people saw it, she would not be able to embarrass the wife for no reason even if she was a concubine.
Shannai stuck out her tongue and said, "I know, but I only dare to say it in front of my master. I keep my mouth shut outside."
"I'm glad you know."
After washing and dressing up, Wen Mianmian held Nanny Song's hand and led Shannai and the others, slowly walking towards the main courtyard.
I happened to run into Li at the main courtyard gate.
Surprisingly, this time Li actually bowed to her properly.
"Greetings to Consort Consort."
Wen Mianmian was a little surprised, her eyebrows slightly raised, and she looked at her and said, "Gege Li, please don't be polite."
"The concubine came really early. I thought the master stayed in the concubine's courtyard last night, so the concubine would come later." Li Gege smiled while covering her mouth with a handkerchief.
"Paying respects to the lady-in-waiting is my duty. What does this have to do with whether the master stays overnight in our courtyard?" Wen Mianmian said calmly.
"Indeed, the master often stays in Zizhu Courtyard. I just don't know if the concubine can always keep the master's favor." After saying this, Li smiled contemptuously and walked into the main courtyard first.
The beauty contest will be held in a while, and there will definitely be new people entering the mansion. She will then want to see if the Wen family can still keep the master.
Men tend to get bored with the old and love the new, so she just waited and waited to see if Wen would become the next her.
She would like to see whether the Wen family can still be so rampant at that time.
"Master, this Princess Li is so unruly." Shannai couldn't stand it. The master was a concubine, so why should she, a princess, walk in front of the concubine?
"Okay, you don't know what kind of person she is, why bother with her?"
If she had to care about such a small matter, she would really not be able to handle it, and she didn't have the time to care about so many things with her.
However, Li did remind her about the talent show.
