The powerful princess arrives with a space warehouse

Chapter 69: Chaos in the Shangshu Mansion

The darkness covered everything. Ouyang Yunyao returned to her room in Yunqing Courtyard of Prince Jing's Mansion quietly, and no one noticed her.

Ouyang Yunyao quickly changed her clothes and went to bed to have a good sleep, leaving the things in the space to be sorted out tomorrow.

The next day.

As soon as the day dawned, a chaotic day began in Shangshu Yu's mansion.

The drug that Ouyang Yunyao gave them had a long-lasting effect.

At the hour of Mao, the steward of Shangshu Yu's mansion arranged a carriage for the master to attend the morning court at the gate of the mansion. However, after waiting for a long time, there was still no sign of the master, so he hurried to the study where the master had rested last night.

When he walked to the courtyard where the study was located, he found that the whole courtyard was quiet. He felt something was wrong. Suddenly, he saw several guards lying outside the study. "What's going on? Why are these people lying outside the study? Oh no, has something happened to the master?" the housekeeper muttered.

He walked forward and kicked at several guards, but there was still no response. He put his hand in front of a guard's nose and said, "Where are the secret guards?"

He rushed into the study room quickly and was stunned for a moment when he saw the empty study room. What happened? Did he come to the wrong place? That's right.

At this time, he saw Yu Deming sitting on a chair in the room with his head tilted. Is there something wrong with the master? He ran forward and sniffed his breath with his hand. Fortunately, the master was breathing. He must have been knocked unconscious. He shook Yu Shangshu, but Yu Shangshu did not respond.

The butler pushed Yu Deming again and shouted, "Master, Master, wake up, wake up." It was unknown whether Yu Shangshu was shaken awake by the butler or the drug had expired. Yu Shangshu slowly opened his eyes and looked at the butler, "Butler Qi, what are you doing?" He was still not fully clear.

"Master, this is bad! Look, the study has been robbed."

Yu Deming suddenly came to his senses. "The study was robbed!" He looked around. Where was he? What was he doing sitting here? Wasn't he in the study last night? He looked again. Wasn't this the study? "Ah!" He stood up and saw that the entire study was empty. He was completely confused.

"Ah! My study, where are my things?" He fell back on the chair again, and didn't react for a long time. He suddenly stood up, pushed the housekeeper aside and ran to the inner room. The housekeeper was Yu Deming's confidant, and he knew there was a secret room in the inner room, so he quickly followed.

Yu Deming breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the bed was still there, but when he ran to the bedside, he realized something was wrong. The entrance to the secret room was open. He hurried down the stairs. It was empty inside, the secret door on the wall was also open, and all the letters and account books inside were gone. He turned pale in an instant, and was so angry that he spat out a mouthful of blood and fell down.

The housekeeper was unable to wake him up, so he could only pull Yu Deming out of the dark room with great effort and put him on the bed. The housekeeper knew that the dark room contained a lot of gold and important things, but because he had never been in it, he didn't know exactly how much gold and what important things were there. However, he knew that this was a place that could not be known to others, so the housekeeper closed the door of the dark room and asked someone to call the palace doctor. This matter was too serious, and the master had to wake up quickly.

At this time, several guards at the door also woke up and stood in a daze at the door of the study: Where am I, where is this, what's going on here.

The housekeeper came out and saw several people in a daze. "How did you guard the study last night? How come no one knew that everything was taken out?"

"Butler Qi, we were all knocked unconscious at the time and we don't know what happened. Where is the master?"

"The master is in a coma, and someone has been sent to find a palace doctor." Several guards knew that this was a serious matter.

Several secret guards woke up in the tree. They wondered why they fell asleep. They felt something was wrong and ran to the study. When they saw the empty study, they felt bad. What happened? Where did they go?

What happened in the study in the front yard of Yu Shangshu’s mansion was still unknown to anyone in the back yard.

In the morning, the wife of the Shangshu, Peng Zhulan, came to the door of the storehouse. She was Yu Deming's eldest wife, and had two sons and one daughter. Yu Manyue was her daughter, the legitimate daughter of the Shangshu Mansion. She was very angry when she saw the scars on her daughter's face when she came back. This was her beloved daughter, how could she be bullied in the palace. She had not agreed to send her daughter to the Jingwang Mansion to be a concubine.

Her daughter is the legitimate daughter of the Shangshu, so she should be the principal wife. But Prince Jing was at the border at the time, and the emperor said that Prince Jing's principal wife had to wait for Prince Jing to come back and get Prince Jing's consent. The empress dowager knew that Prince Jing would not listen to her, so she sent him a concubine first. Yu Manyue liked Prince Jing, and Yu Shangshu was the empress dowager's person, so she was sent to Prince Jing's mansion.

Today, the master will definitely ask the emperor to make a decision for her daughter in the morning court. But she didn't know that Yu Shangshu failed to attend the morning court.

She was going to the storehouse to get some high-quality medicinal herbs for her daughter, so she came to the storehouse door with two maids and a woman. When the guards saw the lady, they saluted and said, "Madam."

Madam Yu asked the maid to unlock the door of the warehouse. She pushed the door open with a few people. A scream of "Ah..." caused several guards to rush in. At this time, the Shangshu's wife fell to the ground. "Where are the things in the warehouse?" Several guards were also stunned. There were only a few empty shelves in the warehouse. The various calligraphy and paintings, porcelain, silk and satin and some rare treasures that were originally placed on the shelves were gone. Those precious medicinal materials such as ginseng and deer antlers were gone. And the gold, silver and jewelry disappeared without a trace.

Madam Yu looked at the empty storehouse and yelled at the guards who came in, "What are you doing? You can't even guard a storehouse. Where are my things?" She beat her chest and stamped her feet, crying loudly. "Go, go, go find the master." A guard ran to find someone. For a moment, Yu Shangshu's mansion was in chaos and panic.

At this time, Yu Deming slowly opened his eyes under the treatment of the court doctor. He sat up from the bed, and he couldn't understand who stole these things. How many people were needed to move all these things last night? Transporting tons of gold, silver and jewelry should have made a lot of noise and left traces. How come no one knew? Who had such a great ability? How could they quietly empty his dark room and study? Why did they empty his study? He couldn't figure it out. He suspected that it was Xue Xiang's faction...

He immediately called the leader of the secret guards and asked him what was going on. Nearly a dozen guards and secret guards were all confused and had no recollection of what happened last night. He had no choice but to order the secret guards to investigate.

Before the situation here calmed down, another guard came running over and shouted, "Butler, butler, hurry up and inform the master."

He ran to the study and then backed out, which was the wrong place. Then a guard ran out and said, "The master is in there."

Ah, this is really the study. "Master, something bad has happened. The storeroom has been stolen." These words were like a thunderclap, making Yu Deming's head buzz.

The housekeeper asked, "What's going on?"

"Master, my lady went to the storeroom in the morning, opened the door and found that there was nothing inside."

"How is this going?"

"Master, we didn't find anyone last night. The door lock is still good."

"The door is locked. Are you not knocked unconscious?"

"Master, we have been guarding well."

Yu Deming asked a guard to report to the police immediately, as the storeroom and study in his home had been robbed.

Yu Deming in the Yu Mansion fell ill, and the Shangshu's wife also fell ill. Now no one can take care of Yu Manyue's affairs.
