After carefully planning what she needed to do next, Lin Yajun instantly appeared on the bed like lightning.
Her movements were so swift that they made almost no sound. Like a wary cat, she pricked up her ears, listening intently to the sounds around her.
After a while, she confirmed that there were no unusual sounds outside, and then she breathed a sigh of relief. She secretly rejoiced, "It's a good thing that those maids and servants left, otherwise how could I have entered and exited the space so easily and silently?"
Lin Yajun lay on the bed, turned her head to look out the window, and observed the sky outside.
At this time, the sun was gradually setting in the west, but the sky was not completely shrouded in darkness, and some faint afterglow still shone on the earth.
Lin Yajun gazed at the gradually darkening sky, pondering the passage of time and her next plan.
Lin Yajun first stretched out her right hand, gently turned the little golden dog's head, and silently recited a sentence: "Swept all the gold, silver, jewelry, jade and other valuable items of Ren Guiwang in the General's Mansion into the space."
The moment Lin Yajun uttered those words, she could clearly feel the gold dog head jewelry on her wrist begin to tremble slightly.
Soon, the golden dog head stopped trembling. Lin Yajun wanted to go into her spatial dimension to check, "Whether or not they have absconded with the Ren family's wealth."
Just then, the mother, Ms. Xu, hurried in. Her eyes were red and swollen, clearly indicating that she had been crying non-stop.
Seeing Lin Yajun's wide eyes, she quickly stepped forward, bent down, and asked with concern, "Yajun, is your headache any better?"
Looking at her mother's anxious face, Lin Yajun felt a surge of emotion and quickly replied softly, "Mother, my head doesn't hurt anymore, don't worry."
Upon hearing this, Madam Xu breathed a slight sigh of relief, but still choked up as she said, "Your father couldn't get the imperial physician, he only got a few packets of medicine from the pharmacy for you. I asked Aunt Lü to brew them and bring them to you."
Lin Yajun nodded quickly and said obediently, "Okay, Mother, don't overwork yourself. This little injury on my head will heal naturally in a few days." She comforted her mother, hoping to put her mind at ease.
Xu was still worried, and her tears fell like beads from a broken string.
"Mother is worried that this wound will leave a scar," Xu's voice was choked with tears.
Seeing this, Lin Yajun quickly comforted her, "No, Mother, don't worry. The wound is really not serious, it won't leave a scar." She silently added in her heart, "I also have the best scar removal cream."
“My daughter has been learning swordsmanship since she was a child and often gets cut, but she always heals them with herbal medicine and they don’t leave scars. Mother, look at your hands, are there any scars?” As she was persuading her, she stretched out her right hand in front of Xu Shi.
Madam Xu looked at her daughter's hand that held the sword; it was as white as jade, without any scars or calluses.
She calmed down a little, wiped her eyes, and said, "Alright, Mother believes you. Jun'er, rest well and recover. Mother still needs to go and pick out a few maids and servants to take care of you." As she spoke, she stood up, preparing to leave.
Lin Yajun quickly grabbed her mother's hand and whispered, "Mother, one maid and one old woman are enough. You know our family's current situation. If we have too many servants, it will be difficult to keep them well-trained."
After hearing her daughter's words, Mrs. Xu sighed, but finally nodded, "Well, that's fine too."
Her family were merchants, and her husband was a soldier. The whole family relied on her grain shop for a living, earning only three or four hundred taels of silver a year. They really couldn't afford to support too many servants.
Besides, the family will have to support that ancestor in the future...
Thinking of that person, Xu's heart clenched.
The person who brought disaster to your family must be treated like an ancestor.
Treating him well will bring disaster.
Treating him poorly will only bring about greater disaster.
Even though her home was ruined because of that man, Xu didn't curse him. She just muttered, "How pitiful, how pitiful they are!"
"Sigh..." Xu could only sigh to relieve her confusion and worry.
Mrs. Xu left quietly, then turned and silently closed the door behind her.
Lin Yajun quickly slipped into the space.
Her heart was racing a little. After all, this was the first time she had used her spatial ability to steal her enemy's wealth, and she didn't know if it would work out.
Upon entering the space, Lin Yajun was stunned by the scene before her.
The once empty square is now filled with wealth in one corner!
Lin Yajun took a deep breath, steadied herself, and walked towards the pile of boxes.
She carefully opened a box, only to find it filled with gleaming gold ingots. She couldn't help but gasp; this box of gold ingots was incredibly valuable.
Then she opened another box, which contained gleaming silver ingots.
Open another box, and inside are strings of copper coins. Although a single copper coin is not worth much, such a large number of copper coins piled together are definitely a considerable fortune.
In addition to hundreds of boxes of gold, silver and copper coins, there were also various jewelry and brocade fabrics.
These jewels were dazzling, some inlaid with gemstones, others crafted from pure gold, all exquisitely crafted and breathtakingly beautiful. The brocade fabrics were even more vibrant in color, soft in texture, and clearly made of the finest materials.
Lin Yajun was completely shocked by the scene before her. She couldn't help but exclaim, "This corrupt official, a third-rank general, actually has so much wealth!" Her eyes were dazzled by the sheer amount of wealth; it was so much that it was overwhelming and she couldn't take it all in.
"It felt so good to have taken away my enemy's wealth!" Lin Yajun returned to bed with satisfaction, feeling extremely happy.
After it got completely dark, she leisurely turned the golden dog head around and muttered a sentence.
Five streets away from the Lin family mansion, in Huai Shu Bei Hutong, a grand wedding banquet is being held at the residence of Ren Guiwang, a third-rank general, as his eldest son, Ren Chuanhe, is getting married today.
Ren Guiwang himself commanded tens of thousands of soldiers, and his eldest son, Ren Chuanhe, was a member of the imperial guards serving the emperor.
The second son, Ren Chuanhu, was an illegitimate son, and he was the chief bodyguard of the imperial son-in-law.
His younger sister, née Ren, was a concubine of Prime Minister Xiao, and had a daughter and a son.
Ren Guiwang was able to get to where he is today entirely thanks to Prime Minister Xiao's support.
Ren Guiwang not only held military power, but the prime minister was also his brother-in-law. Therefore, guests came to the Ren residence in an endless stream today.
The newlyweds returned smoothly, but to the guests' surprise, the groom did not return on horseback, but instead rode in a sedan chair with the bride.
The bridal sedan chair was carried into the inner courtyard. The groom took a bath for an hour, soaking his skin until it turned a ghastly white and wrinkled, before he could barely wash off the green paint from his face and neck.
But the green paint stuck to his hair, ears, and nostrils couldn't be washed off.
After examining himself in the bronze mirror, Young Master Ren flew into a rage and cursed, "You wretched woman, I will definitely kill that filthy woman from the Lin family's eldest branch and tear her to pieces!"
The bride wore a red headband embroidered with plum blossoms, which covered the red and swollen wound on her forehead.
Her head was throbbing as if it were about to explode. She vomited several times after waking up, but she still forced herself to go through with the wedding ceremony and returned to the bridal chamber with the groom to perform the rituals.
After dark, they would have to do the most important thing after getting married: the wedding night.
