Being rejected by a scholar? She is so rich, what is she afraid of?

"Master, do you want me to catch up?"

As Yunsheng spoke, he made a gesture of wiping his neck, the meaning of which was self-evident.

Yun Xi thought about it and nodded slightly, "Go ahead, but you don't have to do it yourself. Just hand the person over to the government after you catch up."

Yunsheng responded with a yes and then left.

As soon as the others left, Yun Xi fell into deep thought. This Mr. Xue was a very nice person.

Even in this situation, he did not vent his anger on Zhao Junyi, and even took their family with him when he escaped.

Or did Mr. Xue simply want to keep their family by his side first and then slowly vent his anger later?

Is it really the truth?

The time goes back to last night when the Xue Mansion discovered that something happened in the mansion.

To be precise, it happened after Yunsheng returned to the Seven Star Tower from the Xue Mansion again.

Mr. Xue sat in the main seat in the main room, and his whole body could not help shaking.

It’s so scary, the Seven Star Tower is so scary.

It really lives up to his reputation. He shouldn't have been so impulsive to provoke the Seven Star Tower, otherwise he wouldn't have ended up like this.

Looking at the family members sitting below, and the appearance of several concubines sobbing with handkerchiefs in their hands, he felt annoyed.

Everyone felt sad that their private warehouses were gone, but no one thought that the big warehouse and his small warehouse were also emptied.

Besides, what if the private vault is gone? Shouldn’t we be thankful that the Seven Star Tower didn’t kill him?

Otherwise, the Xue family might not just suffer a theft, but might even be wiped out.

It’s really terrifying to think about it.

They came and went without a trace, without making any noise. So many things were moved away in no time.

Even if they moved openly, it would probably take more than a hundred guards in the mansion half a day to move so many things out of the mansion.

But according to the guards, they were unconscious for less than an hour.

In less than an hour, all the valuables in the mansion were taken out.

The key point is that except for the guards, none of the masters and servants were knocked unconscious, nor did they show any signs of taking drugs. They were just sleeping. But no one was woken up.

This shows that these people didn't make any noise when they were moving things.

The most powerful guard in the palace said that it would take hundreds of top masters to accomplish all this.

So terrifying, so terrifying!

Thinking of this, Mr. Xue couldn't help but shiver again. He felt the urge to pee and almost wet his pants.

She tightened her anus to hold back the urge to urinate.

He shouted impatiently to the door, "Butler, come in."

The Xue Mansion's housekeeper hurried into the room, "Master."

"How are those shops and farms being handled?"

"Master, we are already handling it privately, but it's the middle of the night, so I'm afraid it won't be that quick. Someone just came downstairs and said that one-third of the shop has been sold, and we should be able to sell some more before dawn."

Master Xue waved his hand and said, "Forget it, let's just leave it at that. Hurry up and have someone load the remaining useful things in the mansion onto the truck. We'll try to get out of the city as soon as the city gates open."

The housekeeper looked reluctant and said, "Master, those shops, yards and farms are still worth a lot of money."

Mr. Xue sighed, "Alas, I know that, but you have to be alive to spend it."

The butler thought for a moment and knelt down, "Master, why don't you let me stay here? If I can handle it, I will give you the money. If I can't handle it, I will keep it here. Maybe one day, Master will come back again."

Mr. Xue stared at the butler who had been with him for most of his life and knew his loyalty.

He is much older than me, and I guess he wants to stay because he is worried that his old age will delay the journey and become a burden.

He looked at the old butler steadily, patted his shoulder with shaking hands, and said, "Have you thought it through?"

The butler nodded, "I have thought it through."

"Okay, then you stay. If the remaining property can be sold, then sell it. If it can't be sold, then you can take care of it. You don't have to give us the money. Just take care of yourself first. If there is any extra, just deposit it in the bank."

The butler kowtowed tremblingly, "Thank you, Master."

"Get up."

Mr. Xue even helped him up. Then he asked, "Butler, why hasn't Zhao Junyi come yet?"

The housekeeper said, "Master, it should be soon. I'll go check at the door."

Mr. Xue waved his hand tiredly, and the butler immediately bowed and retreated.

Just as he retreated to the door, he saw Zhao Junyi rushing over.

The housekeeper stepped forward quickly and said, "Oh, Master Zhao, you are finally here. Our master has been waiting for you for a long time."

Zhao Junyi nodded slightly. "I came here immediately after receiving the news. What happened? Why did you rush me here at this hour?"

He also saw many guards in the Xue Mansion moving things and harnessing horse-drawn carriages, as if they were moving house.

The housekeeper cried out, "Master Zhao, something terrible has happened."

Zhao Junyi was startled, "What happened?"

He and Master Xue had previously agreed to attack the Yun family tonight, but did that not happen? Or did something unexpected happen?

"Well, you'd better go in and let the master talk to you."

The housekeeper welcomed the guests into the main house and then left to do other things.

When Master Xue saw Zhao Junyi, he threw a teacup at him. Zhao Junyi dodged subconsciously, and although he was not hit, some tea stains were still left on his clothes.

"Mr. Xue?" Zhao Junyi bowed and performed the greeting of a junior.

Logically, he was a scholar, and Mr. Xue was just a merchant. When they met, Mr. Xue should have greeted him politely.

But the actual relationship between the two is that of elder and younger.

Mr. Xue wanted to get angry, but seeing so many family members sitting in the room, none of them knew the specific reason why the family had suffered such a disaster, Mr. Xue was not in a position to tell them.

Looking at everyone, Master Xue said, "Everyone go back to your own yards and pack up. We are leaving soon. We won't wait for those who are slow."

One aunt was still hesitant, "Master, are we really leaving?"

"Are you waiting to die if you don't leave?" Mr. Xue said gritting his teeth.

These words not only scared the concubine, but also made Zhao Junyi's heart skip a beat.

As soon as the family members left, he hurriedly asked, "Uncle, what happened?"

Mr. Xue stared at him with bloodshot eyes, wishing he could eat him.

"Do you know how much disaster you have brought to our Xue family?"

Zhao Junyi's heart tightened, "Uncle, please explain clearly."

Master Xue took a deep breath and said sadly, "It's gone, all gone. The guards were sent out and not only did they not come back within an hour, but all the warehouses in the Xue Mansion were emptied. Even the small vaults of my concubines were not spared. Do you know how much all this property is worth?"

Zhao Junyi widened his eyes in astonishment and did not answer.

Master Xue gritted his teeth and said, "Not much else, the gold and silver alone are worth no less than one million taels. Not to mention the many rare treasures and precious medicinal materials, which are simply priceless. If I really want to estimate the value, it must be worth at least one or two million taels."
