For a moment he was a little annoyed that he was staring at a woman.

"Three days have passed, and you haven't returned yet."

Return home?

Do you want to go back to the Prime Minister’s Mansion?

She frowned and nodded calmly: "It's hard for the prince to still remember."

"This prince is busy with official duties, you can go back by yourself!"

Shang Ruoyi nodded indifferently. It was just a formality after all. It didn't matter whether he went or not.

After greeting the princess, he set off for her parents' home with the gifts he had prepared long ago.

When I arrived at the gate of the prime minister's residence, I saw Shangnian and the eldest lady were already waiting at the door.

Seeing the carriage stopped, he hurried over and said, "Greetings, Prince."

The coachman opened the door and it was Shang Ruoyi who came out.

Shangnian looked inside and saw no one there. He said in a deep voice, "Why are you the only one here?"

"What's the matter? Is the Prime Minister waiting for the son-in-law you despise?" Shang Ruoyi walked into the mansion and glanced at the servants in the yard. She saw that they all lowered their heads and did not dare to look at her.

In the original owner's memory, these people seemed to have bullied her.

Now that she has become the Crown Prince's Consort of Prince Ding, these people must be afraid that she will retaliate.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Shangnian walked forward and raised his hand as if to slap him.

"Your Excellency, do you still want to hit me?" Shang Ruoyi said coldly, "Look carefully, I am now the Crown Prince's Consort of Prince Ding, not the second young lady in the Prime Minister's Mansion who is bullied by others."

Shangnian was stopped by her look and did not dare to lower his raised hand.

At this time, the eldest lady came over and said, "Since you are here, have lunch and go back! Otherwise, others will say that we didn't even give you a meal."

Shang Ruoyi curled the corners of her lips slightly and nodded in response.

"I will be in my courtyard before lunch. No one is allowed to come in without my order."

She said to the guards behind her: "Did you hear that?"

"I obey my orders."

Seeing her turn and leave, the nanny beside the eldest lady whispered, "She has really become a phoenix after flying to a treetop. She doesn't even take the master and his wife seriously."

"It doesn't matter. Her good days are almost over." The eldest lady sneered, "After lunch is ready, send it directly to her yard and let her eat and leave quickly."

"Yes, the old slave knows."

Shang Ruoyi's yard was located in the most remote corner of the entire prime minister's mansion. Normally, no one would come here, and no one would pay attention to what she was doing.

On weekdays, the eldest lady often withheld her meals, so she often changed into a maid's clothes and sneaked out to find food.

Therefore, she was very familiar with the terrain of the mansion.

She took off her outer shirt, put on the maid's clothes she had hidden before, put on some simple makeup, and slipped out through the window.

The storehouse of the prime minister's residence is in the southeast corner, and next to it is Shangnian's study.

She kept her head down all the way and came to the door of the warehouse.

Looking at the lock on it, she took out a silver thread and fiddled with the lock for a few times. With a "click", the lock opened.

When I walked into the warehouse, I saw dozens of large boxes stacked inside, filled with gold, silver and jewelry.

Tsk tsk tsk, her scumbag father is really greedy!

How many bad things must have been done to have so many treasures?

Since these are all ill-gotten gains, she will not be polite.

She placed her hands on the gold, silver and jewels, and with a thought, the things inside disappeared and all entered her space.

In a moment, there was nothing left in the warehouse except those empty boxes.

When she thought of Shangnian and the eldest lady's expressions when they found out, she felt very relieved.

This is also the reason why she insisted on having lunch before leaving.

She walked out of the warehouse and put the lock back in place. Just as she was about to go back to her yard, she heard Shangnian's voice coming from the study.

"I have already reported this to the Emperor. Now everything is ready, except for the east wind!"

"Don't worry, my lord. The emperor has already made a decision on this matter. We just need to wait for good news." A strange man's voice came out: "Once the Dingguo Palace is destroyed, we can rest assured."

what?

Is it related to Prince Ding’s Palace?

Just as she was about to move closer to hear more clearly, she heard hurried footsteps in the distance.

Shang Ruoyi hurried away.

After returning to the courtyard, she felt more and more uneasy when she thought about what the eldest lady had said at that time.

At this moment, a scream spread throughout the prime minister's residence.

You discovered it so quickly?

It turned out that the eldest lady was preparing to put the gifts that Shang Ruoyi brought home into the warehouse, but when she opened the door, she saw that dozens of large boxes inside were empty.

This was the money she had saved for more than ten years, and she planned to give it as a dowry to Shang Yufu in the future.

Now they have all disappeared.

How could she not go crazy?

"Shang Ruoyi! It must be her!" After she finished speaking, she came to the front of the yard with a group of servants and guards in a menacing manner.

Just as she was about to break in, she was stopped by the guards: "Madam, no one is allowed to enter without the summons of the Crown Prince's wife."

"How dare you! This is the Prime Minister's residence, how can Shang Ruoyi have the final say?"

"Madam, please obey the orders of the Crown Prince's wife." How could the guards of the Dingguo Palace be afraid of the wife of a prime minister's mansion?

For a long while, the eldest lady was unable to step into the yard.

So he shouted at the gate: "Shang Ruoyi! Come out!"

Seeing that the time was almost up, Shang Ruoyi rubbed her eyes and walked out as if she had just woken up: "Who is barking here?"

"Shang Ruoyi! How dare you steal? Aren't you afraid of going to jail?"

"Stealing?" Shang Ruoyi sneered: "When did I steal? What did I steal?"

"You stole the treasure from my storehouse!" The first lady said angrily, "According to the law, if you steal property, your hands will be cut off. If you take the things out now, I may consider letting you go."

"What treasures are in your storehouse? How many are there?"

"Dozens of large boxes..." Before she finished her words, her mind suddenly became clear. These dozens of large boxes of gold, silver and jewelry would take a long time even for several strong men to move, let alone her. How did she move them all?

The guards standing at the door couldn't help but laugh out loud. How could their Crown Prince's Consort carry dozens of boxes?

"Madam, you have to provide evidence when you speak. Otherwise, it is a serious crime to slander the royal family!" Shang Ruoyi straightened her sleeves and said coldly: "Also, Madam, please call me the Crown Prince's Consort in the future. If you call me by my name again, I will punish you according to the law for disrespecting the royal family."

The eldest lady was furious. Those were dozens of boxes of priceless treasures! How could they disappear without a trace? "What about my treasures? Where are my treasures?"

"If you don't believe me, feel free to send someone to search. We can see everything clearly in this dilapidated yard at a glance to see if there are the dozens of boxes of treasures you mentioned."

The eldest lady couldn't stop shaking all over. She couldn't hold on any longer and fainted.

Shang Ruoyi walked out of the yard and watched the servants frantically helping the Madam up. A smile appeared on her lips: "Let's go back home!"
