The moonlight is like a silk thread, quietly spreading over this warehouse.

The originally dim warehouse is rendered into a deep and gloomy picture.

Inside the warehouse, boxes of gold, silver and jewelry filled three quarters of the space.

Some of the jewelry boxes were stacked so high that they looked like small hills.

Lin Qingya, this petite woman, had a hint of pride in her eyes.

She waved her hand gently, and it seemed as if an invisible force was spreading in the warehouse.

Those piles of jewelry boxes disappeared in an instant, and the entire warehouse became empty, without even a penny left.

Lin Qingya used her mind to check and found that there were so many treasures in the prime minister's treasury, including 200,000 taels of gold and 5.8 million taels of silver.

There were five boxes of pearls and agates, and porcelain was a large item, so it was packed in individual boxes. There were three boxes of jade, eight boxes of jewelry, and two boxes each of top-quality jade and jewelry.

There were also some Shu brocades and other precious fabrics, which together weighed dozens of loads.

Lin Qingya looked at these things that she had never seen before, things that she had never dared to even imagine owning, and now they belonged to her. Her heart was filled with joy.

She turned and left, her light footsteps echoing in the silent night.

After looking around and making sure that no one was following her, she walked straight to the main courtyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

However, a figure quietly appeared in a place she had not noticed. It was Gu Yuchen.

He stood there quietly, his eyes deep, as if thinking about something.

He walked to the warehouse and looked at the empty interior, frowning slightly.

He knew that those jewels could not have disappeared out of thin air, and Lin Qingya must have used some means.

But this was too unbelievable. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed it.

After pondering for a moment, he turned around and followed Lin Qingya's steps towards the main courtyard.

In a corner of the main courtyard, Lin Qingya was squatting on the roof, looking down through a piece of peeled tile.

Below, Prime Minister Lin Hai was talking to his wife Wang Lina. Although their conversation was low, it was as clear as yesterday in Lin Qingya's ears.

Lin Hai said tiredly: "Madam, go to bed early. Although we don't have to get up so early tomorrow morning, we still need to rest more."

However, Wang Lina was so excited that she couldn't sleep.

She asked cautiously, "Master, you said that Prince Chen would confiscate the family property and exile him in a few days. What will Ya'er do?"

Lin Hai listened, and said impatiently: "What can she do? Marry a chicken and follow the chicken, marry a dog and follow the dog. This is her fate."

He paused, and then said, "After exile, we still have to get some information from Lin Qingya. Don't let anyone offend me. I'm very useful."

Wang Lina smiled unwillingly, trying to hide her dissatisfaction:

"When have I ever been mean to her? If Gu Yuchen hadn't sent those slaves back, I wouldn't have had to go through so much trouble."

However, her words sounded so harsh to Lin Qingya who was on the roof.

Lin Qingya clenched her fists so tightly that her fingertips turned white from the force.

Her heart was filled with anger and sadness, and those unbearable past events came to her mind like a tide.

She has never had a good day since her mother passed away and her stepmother came into the family.

Ever since she had her younger sister Lin Qingjiao, she encountered accidents every year, either falling into the lake or having her carriage overturned, and she was even kidnapped.

Once, the kidnappers even wanted to sell her to a brothel, but fortunately she was rescued by the current second prince.

When the Second Prince's mother, Concubine Jing, heard about it, she and the Prime Minister arranged a marriage between Lin Qingya and the Second Prince.

However, all these hardships did not defeat the original owner. She recalled the past events in the original owner's memory.

Those painful memories made her more determined to protect herself and avenge the original owner.

Thinking about her father's cold words to her just now, she knew that she and King Chen were now tied together.

Lin Qingya's mother is Princess Wang Yunxi of the Great Zhou Kingdom. She traveled thousands of miles to the Great Yan Kingdom to celebrate the birthday of the late emperor of the Great Yan Kingdom.

On the way, he met Lin Hai, who was not yet the prime minister at that time, and they fell in love at first sight.

After a few days of contact, Wang Yunxi fell in love with Lin Hai. After returning, she asked her father to marry him.

Although the late emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty strongly opposed it, Wang Yunxi resisted by refusing to eat or drink, and finally the late emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty had no choice but to agree to this marriage.

At that time, Wang Yunxi's dowry could be described as a ten-mile red makeup, and many people were envious!

One year after Lin Hai and Wang Yunxi got married, Wang Yunxi became pregnant with Lin Qingya.

However, at this time, Lin Hai got together with Wang Lina.

At that time, Wang Lina was the daughter of a small merchant family, and no one knew that she was Lin Hai's mistress.

It was not until Wang Yunxi passed away that Wang Lina married into the Lin family as the second wife.

Although Lin Hai's parents died when he was young, he had few relatives and no concubines, his family members seemed simple.

But Wang Lina's domineering nature and Lin Hai's passion for fireworks made the family uneasy.

Lin Qingya was wondering where her brother was now, how he was doing, and whether he had enough food and clothes to eat.

She didn't even know what her brother looked like, nor did she know if he looked like her. No matter where her brother was, as long as he was alive, she would find him for the original owner.

Lin Qingya was thinking that if there was a truth medicine, she could give it to Wang Lina, and she would be able to find out where her brother was without much effort.

But I don’t have it now. I’ll go back and see if there are any books of this kind on Youxuanmao. If there are, I’ll buy some and study them and maybe I’ll succeed.

Lin Qingya collected her thoughts and gently put the tile back in place. She turned and left the main courtyard and came to a house next door.

This house is Wang Lina's private vault, most of which contains Wang Yunxi's dowry. There is also a betrothal gift from Prince Chen.

After Lin Qingya entered the room, she waved her hand and instantly transferred the things in her private storage into the space.

Just like the warehouse in the Prime Minister's Mansion, the private warehouse was instantly emptied out without even a copper coin left.

However, just as she was about to leave, someone suddenly pressed her acupoints and made her unable to move.

Lin Qingya was startled, but soon calmed down. She saw that the man was Gu Yuchen.

He walked up to her and pulled down her veil, looking like he was watching a good show.

He touched his chin with his right hand and said, "What a pity! What do you think would happen if you stood here for 12 hours?"

Although Lin Qingya was angry, she was still conscious and knew that he would not really let her stand for 12 hours.

Pretending to be angry, "You are both knowledgeable people, so stop beating around the bush."

Gu Yuchen stepped forward and lifted Lin Qingya's chin so that she could look directly at him.

A playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth and he just looked at Lin Qingya without saying a word.

The two people's eyes met in the air, as if sparks were flying.

Gu Yuchen's eyes were full of teasing and inquiry, while Lin Qingya looked unwilling to admit defeat.

She knew that she couldn't lose to him at this time, otherwise she would be defeated by Gu Yuchen.

She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. She knew that Gu Yuchen was a smart man.
