There are too many female protagonists with deceased husbands in the Qin Dynasty's Past Books.

What a coincidence!

Then it's you. No need to be picky and waste time.

Jiang Mo raised his hand and waved it. Several crows perched on the treetops of the courtyard wall immediately responded and flapped their wings, rushing straight towards the guy.

"More crows...where did all these come from?!"

Seeing the crows, like dark clouds looming over the city, swooping down on his face as if they were about to peck his eyes out, the guard panicked and instinctively closed his eyes and raised his hand to protect his face.

He loosened his grip on the hunting dog's leash, preparing to reach for the weapon slung at his waist.

"Clap~"

Amidst the chaotic noise, a dull thud rang out, and a sharp hand chop precisely sliced ​​the back of the guard's neck, causing his body to immediately slump to the side.

"Waaah..."

The snarling hunting dog tried to pounce, but before it could reach Jiang Mo's legs, he grabbed its head and pinched its muzzle.

"Don't shout, be good, nothing will happen."

Jiang Mo murmured softly, using his inner strength to activate the stolen beast-driving Gu, and quickly controlled the hunting dogs in front of him with the unique aura it emitted.

When he let go, the hunting dog obediently began to circle around his feet.

Jiang Mo reached out and stripped the clothes off the fallen guard, quickly changed his clothes, casually tossed the guard into the bushes in a corner, and calmly led the hunting dog out.

"Hey, you two, what are you still doing here!"

Leading his hunting dog toward the two Baiyue women in front of the door, Jiang Mo began to shout at them without any politeness, deliberately imitating the imperious manner of a seasoned office worker when dealing with a newcomer.

Without saying a word, a label was slapped on his head:

"Can't you see how busy everyone in the whole manor is? You're just slacking off here instead of helping out. You have no sense at all!"

The harsh rebuke immediately stunned the two of them.

The two were stunned.

"Well...we sisters haven't received any new instructions either?"

"The second young lady instructed us to guard this place..."

The two hesitated, unsure how to deal with their arrogant senior.

They also felt that Jiang Mo was a complete stranger.

As two newcomers to the resort, apart from a few people like Hu Meier and Chunlan who they frequently interacted with, everyone else seemed quite unfamiliar.

Even the old man Huoyugong can only be recognized by his clothes.

When it comes to familiarity with Fire Rain Manor, these two are probably not as familiar as Jiang Mo.

They will inevitably be fooled and manipulated.

Jiang Mo had precisely grasped this point, which was why he dared to swagger in front of the two of them without the slightest hint of guilt.

In such situations, the more natural he appears, the less likely he is to be suspected.

Just like any newcomer to an unfamiliar workplace, the two Baiyue women were quite apprehensive when confronted by an older employee.

He seemed a little lost and hesitant.

"What? The Second Miss is so busy with important matters, how could she have time to come all the way here to deliver a message to you?"

Jiang Mo was getting more and more into his role, pointing at the two people in front of him and adopting an impolite, bossy tone, before waving his hand towards the front yard:

"Hurry up, go to the second young lady's side."

"They're just sitting here like idiots, guarding an empty room. They have no sense of perspective, no idea how to think about what to do, and no initiative whatsoever."

Although his words were blunt, the two Baiyue women pondered them and found that Jiang Mo's words actually made some sense.

If nothing else is happening, continuing to stay here as instructed will certainly not lead to any mistakes. However, in the event of an emergency, one should naturally be more flexible.

What's the point of keeping an empty house?

Can you show your loyalty?

No matter how magnificent and comfortable the house is, they don't live in it, so they can't enjoy it at all.

And the houses don't give them any money.

In comparison, sticking firmly to the Second Miss's side is a wiser approach, as it may allow them to gain some advantage in the upcoming conflict.

Then you won't have to worry about making a living for the rest of your life!

Upon realizing this, the two suddenly understood and no longer cared about Jiang Mo's attitude. They just wanted to leave immediately and go straight to Hu Meier's side.

However, neither of them were stupid.

Only after witnessing Jiang Mo leave grumbling did he abandon his original gatekeeping duties and rush towards the front yard.

Jiang Mo, dressed as a guard with a hunting dog on a leash, did indeed move away from the entrance.

However, the notorious thief, dressed in a black outfit that concealed his face, pried open the previously closed window and nimbly leaped into the room.

Chapter 7 Let me see what you've hidden.

Call ~

I finally managed to sneak into the boudoir I've been longing for. It wasn't easy!

The soles of his shoes landed lightly, this time without even stirring up a speck of dust. In a room that countless people clean countless times a day, Jiang Mo, who had slipped in, was the one that was most in need of tidying up.

As expected of Hu Meier's boudoir, even the air here...

smell.

They all smelled so sweet!

Jiang Mo took a deep breath, his face beaming with the satisfaction that the plan had finally been successfully implemented after many twists and turns, mixed with a hint of intoxication.

It smells good, of course it smells good.

Moreover, it's not the kind of gaudy, powdery fragrance that overwhelms you, making you dizzy and even causing you to sneeze repeatedly, but rather a pure, natural, and delicate fragrance.

There was also a faint scent of fine incense lingering in the air.

Fresh and elegant yet noble.

It was enough to make anyone who stepped into her boudoir look comfortable, not to mention a young, vigorous man, who would inevitably look intoxicated.

I wish I could take a deep, deep breath.

Let the delicate fragrance that lingers in the boudoir enter through your nostrils, travel along your limbs and all the way to the soles of your feet, and give you a top-notch invigorating experience.

It displays top-tier, abnormal, and top-level abilities.

Jiang Mo wasn't a pervert, at least he didn't think so, so he didn't get so engrossed in admiring the woman's boudoir that he couldn't extricate himself. He simply quickly looked around and scanned the furnishings in the room.

Damn it, those rich people.

This quality of life is a bit too high!

Even without using the experienced eye of a seasoned thief to examine each item carefully, Jiang Mo was still deeply shocked by the cursory glances.

I couldn't help but feel a pang of bitterness in my heart.

Previously, he had scouted out Hu Meier's room, but at that time he either lay on the roof and lifted a small tile, or huddled by the window and pushed it open a crack.

Not to mention that being sneaky always severely limits one's field of vision.

Now that he had successfully entered the boudoir, there were no longer any limitations in his view. All the furnishings and decorations inside were on full display, and Jiang Mo finally felt as if he were actually there.

Yes, it's an immersive experience.

At this moment, Jiang Mo felt as if he had only learned about the Forbidden City online through video materials, and finally had the opportunity to be there in person, so that he could truly feel its grandeur and magnificence without reservation.

Even though it was indoors, he could still sense the presence of ornate carvings and painted rafters.

Looking around, I felt that everywhere was a treasure of the world, and I felt that if I accidentally touched it without bathing and changing clothes, it would be a desecration of the treasure.

At the very least, it shows a lack of respect for its price.

This bed, made primarily of huanghuali wood, features a remarkably lifelike relief carving of phoenixes and dragons, their bright, piercing eyes resembling sparkling gemstones embedded within...

This curtain, made of gold and jade threads twisted together, is strung with flawless white pearls. If you were to take out any one of them alone, it wouldn't be anything particularly amazing.

However, to make these hundreds of pearls almost identical in size is not something that ordinary wealthy families can achieve.

This dressing table features a crystal mirror, nearly half a person's height, fixed in the center. There is not a single seam visible on it; it is clearly made from an astonishingly large volume of natural crystal...

This……

No, I can't watch anymore.

The treasure—my goal is the treasure of Fire Rain Manor, the clue to the secret of the Seven Constellations of Azure Dragon. How can I be blinded by worldly things!

Jiang Mo, whose heart was pounding uncontrollably, bit his tongue hard, forcing himself to look away from the various valuable items in the room and suppressing the urge to ransack the room.

Don't be greedy, you must not be greedy.

Time is limited, so we can't afford to waste it on other things.

With these thoughts repeating to himself, Jiang Mo stopped looking around and headed straight for a table in the room. It was the desk that Hu Meier often used when helping with the accounts.

Above, you can also see several neatly stacked bamboo scrolls, as well as carefully stored ivory counting rods.

Ugh, this table...

As soon as his gaze fell on the desk in front of him, his professional habit as a thief kicked in again. But this time, before Jiang Mo could even give a rough estimate in his mind, he raised his hand and slapped his forehead hard.

Snapped!

After a crisp slap, Jiang Mo's eyes, which had been almost completely consumed by the glow of money, immediately became much clearer.

"I remember it should be down here..."

Not daring to look too much, Jiang Mo muttered something and bent down, reaching under the desk to grope around.

After all, it was a desk tailor-made for Hu Meier, and it was indeed quite spacious for her usual user.

However, for Jiang Mo, it inevitably appeared somewhat delicate.

Let alone sitting at a desk for long periods of time, it's not very convenient even to bend over and peek to get a clear look. After trying it a couple of times, I simply gave up.
