She reclaimed her family property and broke off her engagement to go to the countryside.

Chapter 21 The Mysterious House

Upon hearing this, she quickly waved her hand.

"Uncle Qian, no, I want to transfer my job to my classmate."

I came here today to ask about the specific procedures.

The other party was quite surprised by these words.

"You don't want this job anymore?"

It's not that I don't want it, it's just that I can't have it!
"Well, I have other things to do right now, so I probably can't come to work."

Director Qian has been with the unit for so many years, so naturally he has a lot of ideas.

"Did someone bully you?"
I can't speak for anything else, but for this job, I only trust you; no one else will do.

This can be seen as indirectly supporting her, but she can't go back on her word right now.

"Uncle Qian, thank you for your kindness. I know this job was hard-won."

This decision was made after great care and consideration.

Don't worry, no one is forcing me, and I know what I'm doing.

Since they've put it that way, Director Qian will naturally respect their words.

However, he still sighed helplessly.

"are you sure?
Once this procedure is completed, there's no turning back.

Upon hearing this, she nodded emphatically.

"I'm sure, it's all my fault."

"Uncle Qian, my classmate is outside too. Why don't you let her in so you can meet?"

She didn't let anyone follow her in, and even now, she's only using an inquiring tone.

Clearly, he's a child with potential.

Director Qian was quite satisfied with her approach.

"Okay, I'll do whatever you want."

What followed was a natural progression.

The transfer procedure is very simple; it only involves a few forms that both parties need to sign.

After finishing, Zheng Jingtian's anxious heart was finally at ease.

"Uncle Qian, could you please keep this a secret for me?"

Jingtian will also come back to work in half a month. Is that alright with you?

As soon as these words were spoken, the other party realized that something was definitely going on!

However, since Ji Shuyin didn't say it explicitly, he naturally wouldn't ask any further questions.

"No problem. I'm going on a business trip tomorrow, which will last about two weeks. That should keep you busy."

That's how it is when dealing with smart people; some things don't need to be said explicitly, they're all self-evident.

"Thank you very much, Uncle Qian."

After the two said goodbye, Ji Shuyin did not go to the Zheng family's house with them.

Having promised Zheng Jingtian that he would go there in a few days, he knew he had to go to the address on the land deed.

Her intuition told her that there was a deep connection between that place and her home.

Upon arriving in the east of the city, this house appeared quite ordinary among the other houses.

The place was a bit remote; she had never been there before.

The gate was rusty, but the lock was still shiny, which meant that people still came here often, but they didn't stay.

She took out the bunch of keys and tried them one by one, and they actually opened the door.

Seeing no one else around, I grew bolder.

The layout and structure of this house are exactly the same as the houses in the space.

Only behind, there was no open space.

Ji Shuyin was now even more certain that this must be a secret of their Ji family that had been preserved.

Once inside the main room, she was truly amazed by what she saw.

The furniture is all Chinese-style rosewood, carved with intricate patterns, and looks extremely exquisite.

In addition, there are some classic American-style furniture pieces mixed in.

However, it complements the Chinese style perfectly, making the house much more comfortable to live in.

Ji Shuyin explored the entire place and then had a fleeting idea. If she put all these things into her spatial storage, she could create a one-to-one replica of this house.

Could this be what our ancestors left for their descendants?

After walking around again, I became even more certain of this idea, so I didn't stand on ceremony.

They simply took everything away, and the space instantly became much more abundant.

There is only one difference.

In the room on the far right, there was a memorial tablet, and the name on it was exactly the same as the owner of the land deed.

If that's the case, then this Ji Ming should be an ancestor of the Ji family.

However, it is illogical that after so much time, the property rights of the house have not been transferred to a descendant.

Does this mean that every generation of the Ji family has a "Ji Ming"?
Ji Shuyin was surprised by her own thoughts, but she didn't think much of it.

Instead, he knelt on the prayer mat beside him and solemnly kowtowed three times.

Just as she stood up, the floor in front of her suddenly felt loose.

To my utter astonishment, I pried open the floor tile with scissors and found a light switch inside.

In an instant, she felt as if something was about to burst forth.

With an excited heart and trembling hands, I gently flipped the switch.

Suddenly, a hole appeared in the ground to the side.

It's the perfect size for one person to pass through.

Ji Shuyin dared not be careless and quickly took out a flashlight from her spatial storage.

It shone down into the darkness of the ground.

There wasn't much noise, so there shouldn't be any danger inside.

So, I mustered up my courage and went down directly.

To her utter surprise, there was a staircase underground, clearly designed on purpose.

In addition, there was a switch, which was actually equipped with a light.

With a "click," the switch was closed, and the scene before me became clear.

Ji Shuyin rubbed her eyes and looked at the strange basement.

He understood in his heart that this was probably the treasure trove Tang Weiyu had mentioned in her dream.

But how could someone like her possibly bow to the elders of the Ji family?
If you don't worship, how would you have discovered this secret room?

Could it really just be a coincidence?
That's just too much of a coincidence!
Regardless of all that, she first carefully observed the scene inside.

In the middle is an eight-immortal table with a tea set on it, which is already a bit dusty.

There were many boxes all around.

It had that somewhat old-fashioned look, a combination of sheet metal and wood.

Ji Shuyin suppressed her surprise and went over to open the nearest box.

"Oh my God!"

Even though I've seen many good things, I was still shocked for a moment and couldn't help but exclaim.

Inside the box in front of them, gold bars were neatly stacked.

What was it called again? Right, it's a large yellow croaker!

She had seen a box like that in her father's study before.

However, the fact that there were only ten of them was already quite shocking.

This box in front of me must contain at least a hundred pieces.

In times of chaos, gold is precious. If this were converted into supplies, how much would it amount to!

Without thinking too much, I went to check the second box.

Then came the third, the fourth...

Ji Shuyin's mouth never closed.

I felt like Granny Liu, who couldn't afford to eat, had entered the magnificent Grand View Garden.

No wonder Tang Weiyu was able to succeed in her past life. With such a large fortune, she could be rich for hundreds of lifetimes without doing anything.

Now, all of these things are in my hands.

Without time to think, I quickly took stock of everything.
