Good Pregnancy Quick Transmigration: The Overly Charming CEO with No Heirs

Chapter 411 Hiding a "Beloved" in a Golden House 11

Han Yunzhao left that evening.

Meanwhile, news came from 996 that Xue Pingzhi had already ordered people to investigate Han Yunzhao's identity.

He commissioned someone to paint a portrait of Han Yunzhao. Although half of his face was covered, his figure and temperament were very clear. It was only a matter of time before he found out.

Meanwhile, Lu Lingling, unwilling to let the person she had her eye on escape, also arrested and interrogated the human trafficker.

After hearing this, Xi Yao sneered, "Lü Lingling, is it? I'll make her experience what it feels like to be disfigured and have all the tendons in her hands and feet severed."

Also, 996, try your best to disrupt Xue Pingzhi's investigation of Yun Zhao's progress, at least let Yun Zhao finish what he wants to do.

Anyway, he will leave Xirong and return to Dongli sooner or later, so it doesn't matter even if Xue Pingzhi finds out his identity later.

[Yes, host. But are you going to ransack the Marquis's manor storeroom tonight?]

"Yes, of course I'll go."

Even a mosquito bite is still meat; we can't let Old Madam Wang have an easy time.

996 suddenly remembered something else.

[By the way, host, didn't Lü Shanshan go back to her parents' home recently? She'll be returning to the Marquis's residence tomorrow.]

Xi Yao took out a self-heating meal from her spatial storage to have an extra meal, saying, "It's better that she's back; we can take care of her too."

Anyway, Lü Shanshan wasn't a good person either; she bullied the original owner quite a bit.

【Then how about we ransack Lu Shanshan's dowry as well?】

996 excitedly offered suggestions.

After all, the host's private treasury is already empty. When the Marquis's mansion is robbed, the situation of each courtyard will definitely be examined. How can Lu Shanshan's dowry be left alone?

Isn't this putting her in a difficult position?

Therefore, it's better to take both.

Xi Yao's eyelids twitched, and she was speechless when she saw 996's crazy behavior.

She actually looked down on Lu Shanshan's dowry.

However, since 996 has been suggested, she'll listen to it.

"Okay, after I finish eating, I'll ransack the Marquis's mansion and take everything I can."

Wow, host, you're amazing!

996 happily flapped its wings, and then used its energy to exchange for several teleportation talismans, which it gave away to its host for free.

Xi Yao: ...

Oh well, he's my own son, I can only spoil him myself.

Without further ado, after dinner, Xi Yao went to the Marquis's storeroom first.

It is directly transported to the warehouse.

Looking at the mostly empty boxes and display shelves, Xi Yao felt utterly disdainful.

"A once prestigious marquis's mansion, with its former marquis having made numerous military achievements and received many rewards, is now reduced to nothing but an empty shell."

There's very little here; all the valuable gold, silver, and jade ornaments have already been pawned.

The cash amounted to only five thousand taels, enough for the Marquis's mansion's expenses for only six months.

Those fabrics are all outdated.

There was no other way; Xue Pingzhi's monthly salary was only 105 taels. He wasn't mediocre, but he wasn't outstanding either, so his rewards were limited.

As for the shops belonging to the Marquis's mansion, many had actually been sold, and the few remaining were losing money year after year under the management of Old Madam Wang.

[The Marquis's mansion spends over a thousand taels a month on social obligations and such; how could they not be in debt?]

Xi Yao just chuckled after hearing that.

Then put everything into the space.

Although she disliked these things, she would reluctantly accept them as long as it cost Old Madam Wang money.

Then they went to Lü Shanshan's private treasury, which was her dowry.

As the eldest daughter of a vice minister, Lü Shanshan's dowry was not extravagant, but it was still quite in line with her status.

It has all the gold, silver, and jade that you'd expect, as well as some fine fabrics.

The cash is also good; there are three thousand taels.

This is already quite a lot, after all, not every family spoils their daughter like the Xia family does.

Xi Yao didn't touch the other land deeds or shop contracts.

These are registered with the government, so taking them is useless.

Even if it's destroyed, people can go to the government to get it replaced.

Xi Yao went to Old Madam Wang's room last, but she was already asleep at that time.

Just in case, Xi Yao also lit some calming incense.

Then they started looting.

Madam Wang certainly has a lot of things.

Besides the seven thousand taels of silver notes, there was also a considerable amount of gold and jade.

This silver note is the remaining ten thousand taels that Old Man Wang took from the original owner.

The golden Buddha statue has also been found.

All other valuables were put into the space.

"996, do you even know where that old woman's dowry is?"

[Host, her dowry is basically gone. After all, the initial dowry wasn't much, and it's all been used up over the years.]

"That's really useless."

Xi Yao rolled her eyes, turned around and went back to her own courtyard, changed her clothes and went to sleep.

It's too late, I need to sleep.

the next morning.

Hearing the noise outside, Xi Yao pulled the blanket over her head and continued to sleep.

At that moment, Xiaomei ran in in a panic.

"Madam, something terrible has happened in the manor. All the valuables have been stolen. The old lady wants you to hand over the key to the private vault so we can see if anything is still there."

Xi Yao rolled over, still clutching the blanket, and said without opening her eyes, "The key is in my dressing case. Xiao Mei, take it out and give it to them."

"Yes, madam."

Xi Yao heard the door close and covered her ears to continue sleeping.

I really can't stay up late; it's just too much for me.

Xi Yao woke up just as the sun was rising high in the sky.

The noise outside continued unabated.

She learned from Xiaomei that Old Madam Wang had fainted from anger.

Xue Pingzhi did not attend court today; he reported to the authorities and is now searching for traces of the thieves.

With so much stuff, there must be more than one thief, and at this point in time, there wouldn't be enough time to transport it out of the city.

"Madam, your dowry has also been stolen."

Xiaomei looked worried.

Her mistress was already having a hard time in the Marquis's mansion, and now that her dowry is gone, what will she do in the future?

Xi Yao simply smiled and said, "Money is just an external thing; once it's gone, it's gone."

Xiao Mei's eyes widened in disbelief.

So much money is gone, and the lady is not only not sad, but she even talks about material possessions in a nonchalant way.

As expected of the lady, she is indeed different.

"Oh, right," Xi Yao suddenly remembered Lü Shanshan, "Has the Second Madam returned to the manor?"

Because Xia Xiyao entered the family first, she is the legitimate wife of the Marquis.

Although Lü Shanshan entered the palace as a secondary wife, she was actually still a concubine, albeit one of higher status.

But Xue Pingzhi didn't think so, so he made everyone call Lü Shanshan the Second Madam.

Xi Yao suppressed the disdain and sarcasm in her eyes.

"They're back. Accompanying the Second Madam is her younger sister, Miss Lü Er."

"Oh, right," Xiaomei's voice suddenly became excited, "the Second Madam's dowry was also stolen, and she's grieving in the courtyard right now."

Xi Yao glanced at the cute little maid and smiled. "Well, take some silver and go out to buy some food. These days, the manor doesn't care about these things anymore."

The kitchen is gone, and so is the money; even cooking has become a problem.

"But madam, your money..."

"It's okay, I have some here."

Xi Yao came to the dressing table and pretended to take out a silver ingot from the box but actually took it out of her spatial storage.

"Take it outside and exchange it for silver coins; we'll have to rely on it for our meals these days."

"Yes, madam, I'll be right back."
