Li Lanzhen successfully added a powerful sedative to the boiling water.
She casually took out a large bowl and filled it halfway with boiling water.
He nodded and bowed, thanking the plump cook profusely.
I carried Tingyu out and stood in the courtyard.
Tingyu patted her shoulder and whispered, "Come on, to the backyard."
Li Lanzhen obediently walked towards the backyard.
The Lu residence is a two-courtyard house; they had just been to the front courtyard.
Following Tingyu's directions, we arrived at the northeast corner of the backyard.
The back gate of the mansion is located in the northwest corner.
They arrived at a courtyard, which was not large. At this moment, the gate was lying on the ground, leaning precariously.
Tingyu whispered, "Grandma, this is where we live. Let's go in first and come out in a little while."
Li Lanzhen understood what she meant and stepped inside.
The small courtyard has three main rooms, one bright and two dark, with two low side rooms on the west side.
One room is a kitchen, and the other looks like a storage room.
All the doors were wide open, and things were scattered all over the yard.
Tingyu whispered, "Grandma, Grandma, please put me down. These big bad guys have ruined our house."
Li Lanzhen put down Tingyu. As soon as the little guy was on the ground, he stomped his feet, put his hands on his hips, glared at them with his big eyes, and muttered curses under his breath.
Then I bent down and started picking up what I needed.
"Grandma, I want to take a lot of things from home with me, is that okay?"
Seeing Tingyu's hopeful gaze, Li Lanzhen nodded and said, "Sure! You can take all the furniture from your house, just tell Grandma."
Tingyu opened her arms wide, her eyes wide, her mouth agape in surprise, and asked uncertainly.
"Grandma! You said I can take anything I want with me?!"
Li Lanzhen nodded with a smile and gently patted her head.
"Yes, Grandma can take anything Tingyu wants to take."
"Take these to your own home in Peach Blossom Spring, settle these things in—familiar furniture and things you're used to using—how wonderful that would be!"
"Okay, okay, thank you Grandma."
After saying that, she moved even faster, quickly piling up the things she wanted to one side, while leaving the things she didn't want in the yard.
Li Lianzhen stepped into the three rooms. The furniture was all in good condition, and the bed was fine too, but the cabinets were ransacked and in disarray.
"Grandma, Dad left in a hurry that day and didn't take many things with him."
Look, look! That wicked woman has ruined our family!
"Hmph! I'm going to throw ten stinky poops onto her bed later."
After saying that, he seemed to remember something and looked up at Li Lanzhen.
"Grandma, the bed that wicked woman and Grandpa slept in was also my own grandmother's dowry bed."
"I'd like to take it with me too, so they won't have to sleep on it, is that alright?"
"Okay." Li Lanzhen affectionately patted her head.
"Tingyu, Grandma can do magic tricks. She can put everything you need into a magic bag."
Then we'll take you to Peach Blossom Spring and put you down there. Is that alright?
However, no one knew that Grandma had a magic bag.
Grandma told Tingyu that you can't tell anyone and you shouldn't ask Grandma any questions, okay?
This is a little secret between the two of us, okay?
Tingyu's eyes widened even more, filled with curiosity and joy.
But she didn't ask any more questions, and covered her mouth tightly with her two little hands.
Nodding vigorously, he followed Li Lanzhen closely, his round eyes wide open, watching how she put things into the magic bag.
For the rest of the time, Li Lanzhen and Tingyu played a game called "I ask you to nod".
"Tingyu, do you want to take this cabinet?"
Listening to the rain, he nodded vigorously.
Tingyu stared wide-eyed as her parents' wardrobe disappeared from the spot.
She immediately turned her head to look at Li Lanzhen.
Li Lanzhen chuckled and patted her head.
Hold your finger up to your lips and whisper a "shh".
The time it takes to drink a cup of tea.
In Tingyu's courtyard, everything that needed to be put away had been put away.
Li Lanzhen thought that the drug should have worked by now.
He put Tingyu in the basket on his back and said, "Let's go up ahead and see if they're all asleep."
With Tingyu on her back, Li Lanzhen held an electric baton in her hand.
She had made up her mind: anyone who hadn't been drugged and passed out would be given an electric shock and put to sleep.
Yin Hu said that this sleeping potion was very effective, and it would take about two hours for the person to wake up after falling into a coma.
Therefore, she had plenty of time. Li Lanzhen had made up her mind.
Anyway, this second courtyard was part of Lu Boyan's mother's dowry, so anything useful here should be stored in the space.
In this way, even if they reported it to the authorities, the government would not believe them that Lu Boyan had emptied the Fulu Mansion with his two children and a woman.
Moreover, she planned to write a letter severing ties with the family, have them all put their fingerprints on it, and then go to the government office so that Tingyu could take it to the government for filing.
To prevent future troubles!
With that in mind, she collected items as she went.
Upon arriving at the main kitchen, sure enough, the old women and servants were lying on the floor; she hadn't touched the food they had prepared that day.
They simply put all the pots, pans, jars, pots, and water tanks from the kitchen into the space.
Tingyu whispered, "Grandma, there's a big storeroom in the back. There's also grain and lots of good food inside."
Li Lanzhen walked through the long kitchen, saw a door, and pushed it open to go inside.
She glanced at it; the warehouse was large, filled with grain and many baskets and boxes. Without examining it closely, Li Lanzhen stored everything in the warehouse into her spatial storage.
The two were just about to leave the large kitchen.
Then we heard the sound of footsteps approaching.
Li Lanzhen quickly hid behind the door.
A person came in shouting loudly.
"Aunt Jiang, you didn't call me when it was time to eat! I'm starving!"
It turns out that the skinny little monkey guarding the back door has come to eat.
Li Lanzhen shoved an electric baton into the abdomen of the withered monkey who had just entered the room, and he lay motionless on the ground.
Li Lanzhen went from one courtyard to another, collecting everything she could find.
Then we arrived at the dining room.
A large group of people were either slumped over the table or lying on the floor.
Even the maids and servants collapsed to the ground.
Li Lanzhen didn't know if the maids and servants had eaten. Logically, they should be serving their mistress while she was eating.
Perhaps because they had drunk water, just in case, each person was given an electric baton.
All the plates and bowls on the table were swept onto the floor, and the table and chairs were all put into the space.
Everyone rolled around on the ground with a clatter, and Grandma Tingyu rolled away like a winter melon.
Li Lanzhen stood and observed for a while, but no one woke up.
When we came out and arrived at a courtyard.
Tingxue said, "Grandma, this is the courtyard where my real grandma used to live."
After the wicked woman arrived, she moved into this courtyard.
"Shameless, you wicked woman, sleeping in my grandmother's bed! Using my grandmother's money, and now you're bullying my grandmother's son and grandson!"
Li Lanzhen nodded in deep agreement.
That's true, she felt very sorry for Lu Boyan.
If only his mother were still alive.
Li Lanzhen even considered the conspiracy theory that Lu Boyan's mother had suffered a severe hemorrhage and died during childbirth, and that it might have been Lu Boyan's father or this stepmother who were behind it.
Without evidence, Li Lanzhen did not speak out.
As soon as they entered the large room, Tingyu was about to get down, so Li Lanzhen put her down from the basket on her back.
As soon as she got out of bed, she pointed to the big bed and said.
"Grandma, take it away! Take it away!"
Then the little hands kept clapping, saying "Take this away, take this away," and pointing to "Take that away, take that away."
As a result, all the furniture in the room disappeared.
Then, she cleverly pointed to a painting on the wall and said...
"Grandma, there's a hidden compartment behind this painting. There must be silver in there. It all belongs to my grandma."
Li Lanzhen took out an axe, put the painting into her spatial storage, and then saw the hidden compartment behind it.
There was no lock on the hidden compartment, so there must be a mechanism. She fumbled around for a long time but couldn't open it.
Tingyu's eyes lit up, and she ran to the area under where the dressing table had been placed. She squatted down and looked down, and sure enough, there was a blue brick protruding from it, and it looked very smooth.
Li Lanzhen knew that this must be the switch.
"Xiaoyu, stomp on that brick harder."
"Listen to the rain, then stomp down."
"Smack."
The door to the hidden compartment opened.
When Li Lanzhen took a look, wow, there was quite a lot of stuff inside!
