Divorced by her husband's family and rejected by her own! She defiantly turned her life around

When Liu Siyue returned to the inn, the waiter greeted her with a smile, "Welcome back, sir."

"Okay, prepare meals for two people, two meat dishes, one vegetable dish, and a soup. I'll have them delivered to you and then delivered to you again."

"Yes, sir."

Liu Siyue went upstairs to her room, closed the door behind her, and went back to her space to sleep. When she woke up, it was almost dark. She prepared her night clothes and other items and sat in the inn waiting for Qingwu.

Liu Siyue was getting anxious. It was almost dusk, and Qingwu still hadn't returned. Could something have happened? Just as she was lost in thought, she heard a knock at the door. "Master, open the door, I'm back."

Liu Siyue opened the door and pulled Qingwu inside. She hugged her tightly. "Qingwu, you're finally back! I was so worried!"

Qingwu's body stiffened slightly, and her hand, which was suspended in mid-air, gently hugged Liu Siyue. "I'm sorry to have worried you, Master."

"You rest for a while. I'll have the waiter bring up the food. I've already asked them to prepare it in advance."

"Master, haven't you eaten yet?"

"I haven't eaten yet, I'm waiting for you to come back."

"Master, you don't need to wait for me from now on. Eat first, whatever you eat, I'll just eat a couple of bites."

"I feel uneasy and can't eat because you're not back."

Liu Siyue opened the door and saw a waiter coming out of a room on the second floor. She immediately said, "Waiter, you can bring up the food I ordered now."

"Alright, sir, I'll arrange it right away. Please wait a moment."

A short while later, one waiter brought in the food, and another brought in a pot of hot water. The food was laid out, and the tea was ready. "Please enjoy your meal, gentlemen. When will we bring you the hot water?"

"About half an hour, bring up some hot water and take away the dishes while you're at it."

The two men immediately left and closed the door.

The two quickly finished their meal and chatted over tea. "Qingwu, tell me what you've found out."

"The prefect's mansion is very large. It looks like there's not much defense from the outside, but inside there are guards not only in the open but also in the shadows. I've already overheard that the warehouse in the north of the city not only has a large amount of gold and grain but also a lot of women, which will be transported to the capital the night after tomorrow."

It seems that Prefect Cai is also going to leave. Apparently, he received a secret letter from the eldest prince that the second prince has already gone south. Prefect Cai has amassed a lot of wealth over the years, and I heard him tell his family to pack up quickly.

Prefect Cai's study and bedroom both had secret rooms, making his harem quiet and peaceful, with only his principal wife. They had two sons and a daughter.

The eldest son is an official in the capital; the one who was injured was the son, and the daughter is also in the capital.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work. Once the hot water is served, take a shower and get some sleep. I probably won't be able to sleep tonight."

A knock sounded on the door. "Hot water is here, sir."

Qingwu went over and opened the door. Two waiters each carried two buckets of water in, put the water down at the entrance of the bathhouse, and took away the bowls and plates on the table.

"Master, you go and wash first."

"You can wash it. I already washed it when I came back this afternoon, so I won't wash it tonight."

Qingwu went to take a shower. Liu Siyue put on her night clothes and lay down on the bed. Qingwu came out and saw that Liu Siyue was already asleep, so she prepared to blow out the lamp. "Qingwu, change your clothes."

Qingwu glanced at it and saw it was a night-clothes outfit. "Master, you even prepared this. You're so thoughtful."

She dressed herself, lay down on the bed fully clothed, and the bed creaked. "Qingwu, go to sleep quickly, we'll need you tonight!"

"Yes, Master, you should also take some time to rest."

With the moon high in the sky, Liu Siyue and Qingwu quickly got up and jumped out of the back window. After Liu Siyue jumped down, Qingwu hurriedly asked, "Master, are you alright?"

"I'm doing great! I can't let my kung fu training with you go to waste, this is nothing! Let's hurry up and get going, time is short and the mission is important!"

"Master, should we go to the warehouse in the north of the city first, or to the prefect's residence?"

"Let's go to the warehouse in the north of the city first."

The north gate was already closed and quiet. Only two soldiers were sleeping in the gate tunnel. The two quickly climbed the city wall, and Qingwu took Liu Siyue's hand and jumped down. She landed with her in her arms and spun around before landing steadily.

The two of them bent over and ran towards the warehouse.

Torches were lit in the warehouse, and soldiers were patrolling back and forth. The two squatted down and went around to the side. The soldiers on guard were dozing off, nodding their heads like Xiao Ji pecking at rice. Taking advantage of the gap when the two patrol teams had just passed, Qingwu pulled Liu Siyue up the wall like a gust of wind and climbed over the wall.

Liu Siyue harvested grain and gold from warehouse to warehouse. There was a lot of it. Auntie's army of several thousand people could eat for a long time. After finishing this row of houses, she went to another row of houses. She had just finished harvesting a few warehouses when she heard a woman crying inside.

Qingwu listened carefully and discerned, "Master, there are at least forty or fifty people inside. We can't take them with us at all, and we'll only alert them. We should leave as soon as we're done. If we take them with us, I'm afraid none of us will be able to leave."

Liu Siyue wanted to save her, but she knew Qingwu was right and couldn't risk getting herself involved. She decided to go back and think of another way.

"Master, there are only a few left; you can finish reading them."

Liu Siyue smuggled everything out of the warehouse, feeling quite pleased with herself. "Master, let's go!"

The two arrived at the base of the wall. Qingwu listened carefully to the footsteps outside. "Master, let's go."

Qingwu leaped onto the wall with her, then quickly crouched down. They saw a soldier walking towards them, pulling up his pants and cursing, "Damn it, these mosquitoes are killing me!" He then leaned against the wall and continued sleeping.

The patrolling soldiers crossed paths once more. With a flick of her clothes and a powerful push of her feet, the two of them were launched into the air.

"Master, we are safe."

"Master, why did we make this trip if we weren't taking anything else?"

Liu Siyue smiled at her, "It's a secret!"

The two returned to the city by the same route. When they reached the foot of the city wall, Qingwu put her arm around Liu Siyue's waist, and Liu Siyue grabbed her clothes. With a push of her feet, Qingwu reached the waist of the city wall. Using the wall's strength, she lifted herself up and climbed onto the wall.

They quickly descended the city wall, where two soldiers were still fast asleep in the city gate, snoring loudly.

They dared not linger, for it would be dawn soon.

Liu Siyue followed Qingwu, and after several twists and turns, they arrived at the prefect's residence. "Master, the guards here are relatively lax. Let's enter from here."

"Okay, Qingwu, you don't need to help me. I can go up myself."

"Okay, stay close to me."

"Qingwu went up first, and Liu Siyue also climbed up the wall after collapsing her back." Lian Gen leaned against the wall. "Master, shall we go to the study first?"

"Um."

Qingwu led her to the study, where the door was locked. But that wasn't difficult; Qingwu easily opened it, and the two slipped inside and closed the door behind them.

By the moonlight, the two searched for the mechanism in the study. Qingwu found it quickly: the hidden door to the study was on the wall, and the cabinet against the wall was moved aside, revealing the entrance to the secret room at the base of the wall.

A sliver of light shone through the opening. The two descended into the dark chamber. Liu Siyue was speechless when she saw boxes of all sizes. There were just too many!

"Master, wouldn't you like to take some of these jewels back with you? We can't have made this trip for nothing!"

"I'll listen to you, we can't have come all this way for nothing."

Liu Siyue took a bracelet and a hairpin and put them in her hair. "Let's go."

Qingwu walked ahead, while Liu Siyue followed behind and packed up the things.

"Master, shall we go to the bedroom to check?"

"Go ahead, we're already here, it's not good for them if we don't go."
