Lingxiu felt that her mother treated her differently. She was no longer as close to her and her words became more perfunctory.
In the past, I would tell her everything whenever she asked, and sometimes I would even help explain things for fear that I didn’t understand.
But now he has no patience at all, as if he really wants to get rid of me. Something is wrong.
The eldest daughter Lingyun saw that her second sister kept pestering her mother, and her mother seemed impatient.
"Sister, Mom has a lot of things to do. Don't bother her all the time. Let's go play. We don't know when we'll have to come back next time. It just so happens that the kite we just flew hasn't been flown yet. Let's go fly a kite together, three sisters."
Lingxiu was half-dragged to fly a kite, and Qi breathed a sigh of relief. Lingxiu was really too difficult to deal with, but it was her eldest daughter who understood her thoughts and helped her out from time to time.
Alas, I neglected the two sisters in the past. I must make it up to the two children in the future.
I have grown up in vain, and have been harmed like this by my aunt and her daughter.
I'm so anxious. I really want to know as soon as possible whether the truth is as Bai said. Is the child really hers?
That bitch mother and daughter would definitely not let them go. She didn't dare to think too deeply about whether the Marquis knew about it, but as long as her father was around, she was not afraid.
Bai Zhiyue returned to her own farm. In comparison, her own land was indeed too small. There were only five rooms built, which was very simple.
I am afraid of comparison in everything. Goods will be thrown away if compared, and people will die if compared with each other. I used to think that it was good enough to have a farm in the east of the city, but when I compared myself with others, it became rubbish. So my vision is still not broad enough.
I randomly found a health-preserving pill, soaked it in truth-telling potion, put it in a small porcelain bottle, and picked out a new hairpin that was released this year.
"Give this Qinglian hairpin to Madam Qi as a thank you for treating me to a hot spring bath. This porcelain vase is also for her. Don't show it in front of her daughter. Give it only to Madam Qi. Do you understand?"
"I understand!"
Qinglian came back quickly.
"Mrs. Qi accepted them all."
"Um"
"Did Mom tell her everything?"
"Well, if the deal is done, it won't be long before we have another large manor, a large manor with hot springs and a large mansion."
"Mom is so smart. She got a big farm for free without spending a penny. You can't buy a farm like this with hot springs even if you have money. Whenever you want to soak in the hot springs in the future, just come here and enjoy the beautiful days."
Of course, they are all in the hands of noble people. No one would help unless something serious happens.
"It's quite beautiful. You can soak in the hot springs in winter to keep away the cold, and in the summer to cool down. It's beneficial all year round."
"Have you figured out the location of Baijia Village?"
"Well, I checked the route the first time I got here. You should go to bed early. I'll call you before I leave."
It was late at night and everyone was in a deep sleep. Bai Zhiyue took Doudou and quietly went out.
Chiyan has been waiting for a long time
"Woman, come up quickly. I've run through this area during the day. Don't worry about going the wrong way."
"You were asking where you went during the day, but it turns out you went out to find your way first."
"Of course not. We are going to do something big together today, so we must not make any mistakes."
“You are so dedicated.”
"That's right. A good horse like me is absolutely loyal and dedicated. It's much more useful than those birds."
Haha, it turns out that I still need to show off.
The two men and the horse arrived at the Bai family's ancestral home at an extremely fast speed because they were familiar with the road.
The farm village was completely dark, with only a little dim light visible in two wealthy families, presumably from lanterns lit in their yards.
There were only three or four servants looking after the Bai family's ancestral home now, so there was no light. They were all fast asleep at this moment, and there was no one next door.
"Mother, the entrance is in the ancestral hall of the ancestral home."
"Chiyan, find a place to hide and wait for us."
"Well, I'm going to go over there and eat some night grass to add some energy."
Bai Zhiyue had been here before, so she knew the location of the ancestral hall.
"There is a brick at the base of the wall below the tablet that can be opened by pressing it."
"No one usually comes to this place, let alone touches it randomly. The location is quite good."
She squatted down, reached over and pressed, and a hole appeared on the wall. After waiting for a while, Bai Zhiyue threw a flash stick inside.
"Let's go and search for treasure!"
The tunnel was winding and not a straight line, probably to go around a house above, but it went around and around and ended up back at the starting point.
"What's going on? Is this line fake?"
"The entrance is here. What I read must be correct."
"Where's the treasure? It's still blinding, and it's dark again when I touch it?"
Doudou blinked embarrassedly.
"There must be a mechanism somewhere. I haven't read it, and I haven't found any other exits along the way."
"Walk again?"
"I'll observe carefully this time. There must be a fork in the road that hasn't been opened."
"I have to say Bai Baiwan is a genius. Even if someone discovered the secret passage, they wouldn't have thought there was a branch leading to the outer house. They would have just thought it was a hidden tunnel."
This caused the two people's enthusiasm for treasure to decrease by one third.
This time, we finally found a U-shaped secret passage at a bend.
"If we didn't know it was there beforehand and had a strong sense of perception, it would be really difficult to find it."
"He uses all his abilities in calculation."
There are so many things to do to build a tunnel
The route becomes straight once you enter this side, and all the way to the end is a row of rooms, each of which is locked.
"Isn't this a bit like taking off your pants to fart? I've come this far, and I still care about breaking another lock?"
"It's not like it's completely useless. If someone doesn't have the right tools, they might just end up looking at the treasure in vain. Going back and forth again increases the chances of being discovered. Of course, it's pointless for us."
Bai Zhiyue took out a pair of large scissors from the space, and with a few clicks, she cut through more than a dozen rooms.
“Start opening the blind boxes now!”
"I choose the seventh room. It's neither front nor back, nor in the middle. The chances of finding a valuable treasure are higher!"
“I think they’re all pretty much the same!”
"Then let's compete. If I win, everything here will belong to me!"
"You want to steal the treasure from me?"
Bai Zhiyue pinched her waist with one hand and glared.
"How is that possible? It's just a matter of saying, what's yours is yours, and what's mine is yours too. In the end, they're all yours."
Doudou immediately admitted his mistake.
Bai Zhiyue grinned and opened the seventh room.
"Wow, it's really bright and dazzling!"
A room full of gold bars would be so shiny.
Open the next room
"Wow, they are all big gold bricks! I'm rich! I'm rich!"
"Did it flash?"
"Hehe! Everything is golden when I close my eyes now. Mom, please check the other rooms."
Opening the rooms one by one, there were three rooms containing gold bars and five rooms containing silver bars, which were silver bricks made by melting official silver and then pressing it again.
In order to avoid being discovered, the government silver has a fixed amount and all comings and goings must be accounted for, so the sources of these silver are definitely unknown.
The other rooms are filled with raw jade, various gemstones, as well as agarwood, sandalwood, ambergris, etc. from overseas, all of which are valuable and easy to cash in.
