The Rise of a Farm Girl

A few people came to the front living room again. Everyone was eating, drinking and chatting.

After everyone had finished their meal, they strolled in the garden. All the young ladies gathered around the Second Princess and Concubine Liu.

Everyone was flattering these two high-ranking women. They all knew that the princess and Concubine Liu did not like Wang Jingru.

So everyone was bullying Wang Jingru, and someone suggested that Her Majesty, we should write a poem on the theme of peony. Everyone gave their opinion, and Concubine Liu nodded and said that whoever did the best would get a reward.

One of the young ladies said, "I wonder what kind of reward the Queen has prepared for us." Concubine Liu took off a jade bracelet from her hand. This bracelet was crystal clear and it was obviously a top-grade jade bracelet.

The second princess suddenly said, Mother, isn’t this bracelet a birthday gift given to you by your father?

When everyone heard that this bracelet was given to Concubine Liu by the Emperor, they looked at it even more eagerly.

Everyone tried their best to come up with better words to write poems. Only Wang Jingru didn't say a word. She didn't want to be in the spotlight. A peasant girl naturally didn't know anything, so whoever wanted to laugh at her could laugh at her.

If she showed too much, she would be suspected of something wrong. Concubine Liu and the Second Princess wanted to embarrass her, so the people around her also tried to make trouble for Wang Jingru.

What poem did Princess Jingru write? Why not read it out for everyone to hear? Wang Jingru said seriously, I was born a peasant girl, I can't write poetry, so I won't compete with you for the reward.

Then someone started laughing, and everyone laughed out loud. Wang Jingru looked at everyone and said, "What's so funny? If you were also farm girls since childhood, I don't believe you can still be here writing poetry."

Although I was born a peasant girl, I was given the title of county lady by the emperor. Although I have not read as many poems and books as you, I hold an official position.

Since you are better than me, why haven't you been made a princess by the emperor? After hearing this, all the women were silent. That means that although they are well-read, they are nothing. They are not as good as a peasant girl like him.

All the ladies from the official families were silent. Concubine Liu was angry and plucked a flower. She rubbed it hard and thought to herself, so many people can't beat a village girl. They are all useless.

But she was the emperor's concubine and had to behave like a noble lady. She could only hold back her anger and chat with these young ladies for a while, and stroll around the garden for a while. In the end, the bracelet was won by Wang Mingyue, the daughter of the censor.

Wang Jingru was not embarrassed this time. She was very unwilling, but she did not dare to make any big moves in the palace. She could only end the flower-viewing banquet hastily.

Wang Jingru returned home unscathed. It was almost dark when she got home. She said she was tired and went back to her yard. Yu Wenjiao saw that her daughter was tired and asked her to go back to the yard to rest.

Wang Jingru returned to the yard and sent the maid away. She went into the space to rest. She went back to the space to sleep because she still had to work at night!

Wang Jingru had a good sleep, drank some spiritual spring water, left the space, changed into a light nightgown, and quietly left through the back door of the mansion without disturbing anyone.

The first stop was of course Princess Liu's family home. Wasn't she the richest man in Southern Xinjiang? She wanted to see how much financial resources she had, so she came to the residence of Yang Jiang, the Minister of Industry. Wang Jingru used her Qinggong to jump into Yang's residence.

Wang Jingru planned to empty the house, so she would not wander around aimlessly. Are the layouts of each house similar?

The first step Wang Jingru took was to go to the warehouse. Seeing two guards, Wang Jingru used the direction to light the incense.

After a while, the two men fainted. Wang Jingru was afraid that they would do something bad when they woke up, so she put them into the space. There was so much land in the space, but no one was working!

He used a hairpin to unlock the door of the storeroom, and walked in. He didn't even look at how many things there were. He just put them into the space.

Soon, everything in the warehouse was taken away. Not even a straw stick was left. The warehouse was emptied, and they searched around to see if there was a secret compartment, but this time they found none.

The next stop was of course the room and study of Liu Fei's father. In Yang Jiang's room, Wang Jingru didn't even leave him a bed. The bed was made of golden nanmu, which was worth a lot of money if sold!

After Wang Jingru's room was emptied, she discovered a secret compartment under the bed, which turned out to be a small secret room. Wang Jingru walked down quickly and found it was full of golden men and jewels. The huge night pearl was placed outside.

Wang Jingru put these things into the space, and before leaving, she kicked Yang Jiang, who was knocked unconscious by her.

Wang Jingru was afraid that he would wake up, so she grabbed a gold brick from the space and smashed it hard on the back of Yang Jiang's neck.

Wang Jingru was relieved now, and she left the room and closed the door tightly. Then she went to the study, and he took away everything in the study, except for one thing. She couldn't put it into the space no matter how hard she tried, so Wang Jingru knew there must be something fishy going on.

The room was empty except for the big vase. Wang Jingru walked over and tried to pick it up, but she couldn't, so she just walked around.

Wang Jingru turned the vase to the left, and it really turned. When the vase turned, a secret room appeared on the ground. Wang Jingru thought that this was indeed the richest man's home. They hid things like rabbits, and there were so many places to hide things.

Wang Jingru put all the things in here into the space. Now he really didn’t have time to read them.

Then they came to the room of Concubine Liu's mother. Concubine Liu's mother was called Eileen Chang. Eileen Chang was drooling as she slept in the room.

Wang Jingru was so disgusted that she simply put all the quilts, mattresses, and pillows into the space, and then moved them to the ground outside. She pressed the sleeping point to prevent her from waking up.

Wang Jingru followed the same method and put away all the things. The room was empty. The places where the couple hid things were exactly the same, with a secret room under the bed.

Wang Jingru walked into the secret room. Zhang Ailing’s secret room was much larger than Yang Jiang’s, and there were many things in it.

Wang Jingru seized the opportunity. As expected of the richest family, this thing was dozens of times more than the wealth of Liu Yuanwai's family. Wang Jingru collected the money and walked faster. While collecting the money, she thought to herself, I'm rich, I'm rich.

After cleaning up here, he went to his children's rooms. These children's rooms were really full of secrets and the things in them were also extraordinary.

These things are not something that ordinary women from official families can possess. They are so rare that even the emperor can have them for the sake of prestige, but their family can have them.

These children included legitimate daughters and illegitimate daughters, and all their belongings were collected. Each of these things was extremely valuable, and there must be good things in the rooms of those concubines.

Wang Jingru collected things, taking away everything she could, as long as they were useful, and she couldn't leave anything for them.

After searching everything, they came to the kitchen, where there was a lot of food warming in the pot. This was the midnight snack left for the owner.

Wang Jingru didn't even leave a pot for them, since there was no one in the kitchen anyway. After putting the things into the space, she came to the warehouse where grain and various vegetables were stored. She was indeed the richest man in southern Xinjiang.

The grain must have weighed more than 100,000 kilograms, but Wang Jingru didn't leave even a grain of rice and took it all away.

After collecting the things, they also collected the carriages and horses in the backyard, as well as various poultry. As expected of the richest family, they even raised poultry, how thrifty they were.

You are so rich, but you still care about these things, and you also want poultry. If you want to eat it, you can buy as much as you want outside.

But these things belonged to him, so he put them all away. After putting them away, Wang Jingru walked around the mansion again, making sure not to leave anything behind.

When he walked to the rockery, he saw a person coming out from the gap of the rockery. Wang Jingru hid, feeling very suspicious.

The man was very alert, looked around, and when he saw no one, he walked out from the gap in the rockery and walked towards the front yard.

Wang Jingru watched the man walk away for a while, then she also walked into the crack of the rockery to see what was inside. As she walked inside, she discovered a big secret.

Because there was a stone staircase underneath the rockery, Wang Jingru walked down along the stone staircase. When she got down, she saw that the secret room was really big!

There were huge boxes piled up full of stuff. The stuff inside was ten times more than what was in the warehouse.

Wang Jingru quickly packed up her things, and as soon as she finished, she quickly walked out. As soon as she slipped out, she saw that person coming back. She was still mumbling, "Look at my memory, how could I forget to close the door?"

Wang Jingru hurriedly ran out of the house. Not long after she ran out, the man started shouting, "Oh no, there was a burglary in the house, someone come quickly!"

Wang Jingru saw that it was getting late and it was impossible for her to sneak into the palace and deal with Concubine Liu. She could only deal with her another day.

Wang Jingru quickly returned to her house, and only breathed a sigh of relief when she returned to her room. It was a close call today. If she had been slower in getting out of the secret room in the rockery, she would have been caught.

Wang Jingru returned to her room, quickly changed her clothes and put them in the space. She lowered the bed curtains and lay down on the bed.

Then, after entering the space, Wang Jingru hurried to the warehouse in the space. Looking at these things in the warehouse, there were a dazzling array of things, with gold, silver and jewelry piled up like mountains.

Wang Jingru was extremely excited when she saw that she had so many gold, silver and jewelry. It was worthy of being the richest man's family. The wealth was really too much.

Wang Jingru didn't even bother counting these things. There were simply too many of them. It would take forever to count them. Anyway, she was a wealthy person now.

The next step is to win by lying down, without having to do anything. Wang Jingru rested in the space for another two hours, and then it was dawn. After coming out of the space, she wanted to lie on the bed, but she couldn't. She had to go to the college. The college was not only a place for learning, but also a place with the most up-to-date information.

She wanted to hear what happened next at the Yang Mansion so that she could respond. Wang Jingru was very diligent today. She got dressed and washed, and after her maid combed her hair, she got on the carriage and went to the college.

Today we went earlier than that day. When we arrived at the academy, these young ladies and gentlemen from royal and noble families gathered in groups of three or four and talked about what happened in the Yang Mansion.

Yesterday, all the money and property disappeared from the Yang Mansion overnight. No one knew how it was lost and there was no trace at all.

Even the food and clothes in the mansion were lost, and the clothes worn by the servants in Yang's mansion were also lost.

Everyone in the Yang family was wearing their underwear when they got up in the morning.

They didn't have any outer clothes to wear, and no food to eat. Everything inside their houses was emptied out. I heard that they had offended someone too badly, and that God was punishing them. I think this is all nonsense. They must have offended some big shot.

They were retaliated against in this way and their houses were emptied out overnight.

I don't think so. If everything was emptied, where would they have been moved to? The gates of the imperial city are closed. The gates of the imperial city were not opened this morning, and the officers and soldiers were searching the streets for things!

It was as if this thing had disappeared out of thin air. We started searching at daybreak, and have been searching for several hours, but have found nothing.

I heard that all the pots, pans, and utensils in the kitchen were taken away. This thief is really good, if he wasn't good enough, he could have taken everything away overnight.

The Yang Mansion's mansion is huge! How many people could it be emptied overnight?

But there was no witness. I said it must be haunted and the ghost was taken away. Forget it! It's like you've seen it before, don't make it up.

I heard that when Liu Fei's father woke up, he was so angry that he spit out blood and then fainted.

You don't know as much as I do! Not only did Concubine Liu's father, but Concubine Liu's mother also fainted. In the morning, everyone in the mansion was hungry and there was nothing to eat.

I heard that Yang Jiang wanted to go to the palace to ask his daughter for help, but he didn't even have an outer coat to wear and went to the palace wearing his butler's clothes.

Concubine Liu gave some silver, and everyone in the mansion ate meals ordered from the restaurant in the morning. Even the cooking pots were bought on the spot.

I heard that the theft in the mansion was discovered by the housekeeper. Yang Qi and his two sisters. I think I can't come to the academy today. How can I come to the academy without even clothes to wear? After saying this, everyone burst into laughter.

At this time, the teacher came in, and everything became quiet and no one spoke.

No one spoke during class, but after class they started discussing the affairs of the Yang Mansion. This topic lasted all day.

Besides, Concubine Liu in the palace was shocked to hear that her parents' home had been robbed and not even a piece of clothing was left. It was too thorough a loss.

So she ran to the emperor and cried, asking him to order a thorough investigation of the case.

The emperor also took this matter very seriously, because it was full of weirdness. If someone really had this ability, wouldn't his national treasury be lost?

The emperor was afraid, so he sent a lot of people to investigate the matter.

But there was no clue at all, so the emperor was very distressed. The emperor wanted to send some things to Yang's Mansion, but he was afraid that the people who emptied Yang's Mansion would be angered and then empty his own palace, so he did not give any rewards.
