In the evening, when the Yang family was having dinner, Yang Youxue spoke to her family.
"Grandpa, Grandma, Dad, Mom, today His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sent a list of the former Imperial College's properties. Tomorrow we'll go over and take over the property and see if there's any jewelry or anything like that that everyone likes and give it to everyone."
"Youxue, do you really want his property? Will he get angry and hire someone to harm you?" Lu Guihua said with some concern.
“Grandma, he doesn’t dare.
It was his own fault, he couldn't blame anyone else.
This matter has been agreed to by the Emperor. The Emperor never jokes. If we refuse, we will be disobeying his order and will be beheaded.
Take it with confidence, and consider it a gift from the Emperor." Yang Youxue comforted Lü Guihua and her family.
"Yes! Grandma, don't worry. As long as the emperor allows something, we have to take it whether we want it or not. We should accept it with peace of mind." Yang Qingyao persuaded Lu Guihua.
"Fifth sister, there is something I want to tell you. I don't know whether I should tell you or not?" Yang Qingpei asked hesitantly.
"No matter what it is, Third Sister, just tell me directly." Yang Youxue said.
"Today we rescued the daughter of the former Imperial College chief priest. She later came to us and asked us to save her and her mother and brother.
The former chief priest lost his property to his fifth sister, and he sent his daughter to be the sixteenth concubine of the Grand Marshal. He also sold her mother to the Yihong Courtyard and sent her brother to a minister with a fetish.
She begged us to save her family and offered to sell herself into slavery. "Fifth Sister, what do you think we should do?" Yang Qingpei recounted what had happened today, though she left out the story of Tang Yuanlong saving her.
"You beast! You are unworthy of being a father and a husband. Such a scum should be put in jail!" Old man Yang said angrily.
"That's right. I didn't expect that there really are people like this. It's made me afraid to get married." Yang Qingyi said with some shadow.
"Qingyi, not all men are like this, don't let one stick sink the whole boat.
The men in our family are all responsible and cannot be mixed up with scum.
My Qingyi is so cute and beautiful, she will definitely find a man as good as the one in our family." Yang Youxue comforted her.
She didn't want her cousin to not find a husband because of this, as her uncle and aunt would worry.
"Yes, Qingyi, don't be afraid. Dad and Mom will definitely find a good husband for you. We don't want a bad one.
Look at your grandparents, uncles and aunts, parents, uncles and aunts, and your eldest sister and brother-in-law, and your second sister and brother-in-law, which couple is not in love?
Your grandfather, your uncle, your eldest brother-in-law, your second brother-in-law, and I are all completely obedient to our wife, submissive and obedient. "When Yang Zhongcheng heard that his daughter was afraid of getting married, he immediately gave her an example to dispel her fear of marriage.
"Qingyi, your father is right. There are still many good men. My Qingyi must be careful in choosing people." Su Shanshan also advised.
After being persuaded by her family, Yang Qingyi gave up the idea.
"Fifth sister, should we spend three thousand taels to buy them?" Yang Qingpei asked.
"We can afford three thousand taels of silver, but I don't want to give it to a scum like that.
"Third sister, give me some time, I will definitely find a way to save them without spending any money." Yang Youxue said.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Fifth Sister." Yang Qingpei said.
After dinner, Yang Youxue called Bai Chen, Zhui Long, and Wang Chuhang.
"Bai Chen, take Zhuilong and Wang Chuhang to Tong Mansion tonight to steal these jewelry. You have to do it secretly and don't let anyone find out." Yang Youxue took out a list and pointed at the jewelry and said to Bai Chen.
"Miss, why is this?" Bai Chen asked Yang Youxue in confusion.
After tomorrow, those things will all belong to the young lady, so why steal them again?
"These jewels belonged to the former Imperial College Priest, and they will become mine after tomorrow.
What do you think will happen if a few pieces of jewelry are missing during the handover tomorrow?" Yang Youxue sneered, looking at Bai Chen with an expression that said, "You understand what I mean."
"I understand. There are a few pieces of jewelry missing. If he can't find them, it would be deceiving the emperor and disobeying his orders. He will be in big trouble.
"Young lady, you can use this opportunity to take Tong Han and her daughter. This way, you don't have to spend money and you can save them. It's a good plan that kills two birds with one stone." Bai Chen thought it through and praised the young lady.
"Bai Chen, you are so smart. You understand things immediately." Yang Youxue praised.
"Thank you for the compliment, Miss. This is all thanks to your good teaching." Bai Chen said.
"You guys go back and prepare. We're setting off in the middle of the night. Be sure not to alert anyone and get discovered." Yang Youxue said.
“Yes, Miss!
Why in the middle of the night? If we go now, I can do it without anyone noticing." Bai Chen said.
"Of course, it's because people are the most sleepy and relaxed at that time." Yang Youxue explained.
Isn't it said that: "A dark and windy night is the best time to kill or set fire to something. The middle of the night is the best time to do evil things."
"I understand. I'll go down and prepare." After Bai Chen finished speaking, he took Zhuilong and Wang Chuhang to discuss how to steal things.
At midnight, Bai Chen took Zhuilong and Wang Chuhang and quietly left for Tong Mansion.
He cleverly avoided the soldiers and came to the storeroom, found the jewelry that the young lady wanted to steal, and left the Tong Mansion without anyone noticing.
All this did not alarm the officers and soldiers, nor did it alarm the Tong family.
At this time, it was the middle of the night and it was pitch dark, with gusts of cold wind.
It really fits the saying: When the moon is dark and the wind is strong, it is the time to steal chickens and dogs.
