Chapter 2: Emptying the Marquis's Mansion
Jiang Nianwei held the lantern and stepped into the dark and eerie secret room without hesitation.
Sure enough, the scene here was exactly the same as described in the book. When she came to the room where the treasure was hidden, even she herself couldn't help but be surprised.
Zhuang Qiuhe has always loved to complain about being poor. At first, she naively believed that the Marquis's Mansion was really impoverished and offered money to subsidize them.
Now she understood that the whole family had colluded to deceive her.
Jiang Nianwei stared at the mountains of gold, silver and jewelry in the room, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart. No wonder the Yuanshan Marquis Mansion was so arrogant and domineering, and had amassed such a huge amount of wealth over the years.
She looked up at the antique calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall. All of them were handed down from generation to generation. The silks and satins were all of the finest materials. There were five or six boxes of gold alone.
Later, he saw a jade tree carved out of jade. He remembered that in his previous life, Qin Ziqian gave this to Meng Wanran, and she even specially invited him to go and see it, and showed off to him in a proud manner.
Having become indifferent to the past, Jiang Nianwei simply touched the jade tree and put it into the space.
Further back, you can see weapons hanging on the racks.
After Jiang Nianwei saw the dagger, she couldn't take her eyes off it. She could always feel the chill coming from the dagger.
The dagger was small and just right for her to use for self-defense. As for the other sword, she remembered that her second brother just happened to be in need of a decent weapon, so she gave it to him.
As she was still searching around for more valuable items, her eyes inadvertently fell on the locked cabinet in the corner.
The gold, silver and jewellery were not locked, so why was this small cabinet locked? It seemed that there must be something extremely important hidden in it.
Jiang Nianwei thought for a moment and immediately put the box into the walnut space.
She couldn't open the lock at the moment, but she could find an outside locksmith to fix the problem.
After she emptied the secret room of banknotes and gold, she walked out of the study as if nothing had happened without being noticed by anyone.
Afterwards, she came to the granary of the Marquis's Mansion. There was a wedding in the mansion and everyone was busy in the big kitchen, and no one paid attention to the granary.
There are hundreds of people in the entire Yuanshan Marquis Mansion, and the daily food consumption is huge.
The new rice in the granary is usually reserved for people of noble status, while the coarse rice and old rice are naturally reserved for unfavored concubines and servants.
And these days, Jiang Nianwei also remembered that what she ate was this coarse rice.
In this case, should the Marquis's Mansion still keep the food? They will need more food on the road of exile anyway, and it would be a waste not to take it.
Jiang Nianwei put all the grain in the warehouse, whether good or bad, into the space.
At this time, the front hall of Yuanshan Marquis's mansion was filled with the sound of drums and music. The bride must have arrived, but no one cared about her, the mistress.
In that case, let Jiang Nianwei give them a unique gift!
After returning to the yard, she immediately asked Taozhi to grind ink, picked up her pen to write a letter home, and sent someone to send it back to the Jiang Mansion.
In her natal family, she was a doted daughter. Now in modern times, she has learned about the ideas of women's independence. Why should she be looked down upon in this marquis's mansion and do rough work like washing underwear in a cold face?
Then, she picked up the pen again and wrote a divorce letter. Even if Qin Ziqian did not agree, she had to sever ties with him.
The two extra maids in the yard were probably hired by Zhuang Qiuhe to monitor her because she was worried that she would cause trouble.
She frowned, thinking to herself that if she had the chance, she would definitely find a guard with strong martial arts skills to be by her side, so that it would be easier to act.
Jiang Nianwei, however, looked calm. She unhurriedly asked the servants to bring exquisite cakes and fine tea. She walked up to the two maids, stuffed some change into their pockets, and said softly, "The two maids are waiting here. We haven't had our meal yet. Have some snacks to fill your stomach."
The two maids were a little confused by this sudden move, but the silver in their hands was real, and its amount was equivalent to their half year's salary.
Although they accepted the money, they dared not eat the snacks. They knew Jiang Nianwei's current situation and were afraid that she would use some despicable means.
One of them said in a cold tone: "We appreciate your kindness, madam, but you should keep the snacks for yourself."
Jiang Nianwei may have seen their doubts, so without saying anything, she picked up a piece of mung bean cake and chewed it carefully, and slowly praised: "This mung bean cake from Furongzhai tastes really amazing."
When the two maids saw that Jiang Nianwei had also eaten, most of their doubts immediately dissipated, and they hurriedly picked up the exquisite snacks and started eating.
Although this snack was delicious, it was extremely choking. After eating a few pieces, they felt extremely thirsty and began to look for tea.
The pot of tea was soon finished, and the two maids touched their stomachs contentedly, but suddenly they felt dizzy and collapsed to the ground.
Jiang Nianwei gently kicked the two old women, and seeing that they had no reaction, she took advantage of the fact that no one else was paying attention and quietly came to the main courtyard where the wedding was being held.
Originally, when taking a concubine, the newlyweds only needed a sedan chair to enter from the side door, but now the ceremony was even more grand than marrying a wife.
Meng Wanran was wearing a wedding dress, and two maids were carefully supporting her.
Qin Ziqian, on the other hand, had a smug look on his face, with joy filling his brows. He returned the greetings to the guests around him who came to congratulate him.
Jiang Nianwei came out at this moment, surprising everyone.
Zhuang Qiuhe's face, which was originally filled with smiles, instantly fell the moment she saw Jiang Nianwei.
She frowned, and a sense of worry arose in her heart. What on earth was this woman trying to do by appearing here at this time?
When Meng Wanran first met Jiang Nianwei, she felt aggrieved.
She was a woman who traveled through time and space, and was unwilling to be Qin Ziqian's concubine. However, the two of them fell in love with each other, and he knelt down and swore that he would divorce his original wife and help her become the mistress of a marquisate. He was only willing to spend the rest of his life with her, and only then did she reluctantly agree to be his concubine temporarily.
Qin Ziqian originally promised her that he would keep Jiang Nianwei under control, but unexpectedly, at this important moment of marriage, this woman came to cause trouble.
She pulled Qin Ziqian's sleeve with a look of resentment on her face, and said with a bit of coquettishness and confusion: "Husband, what do you mean by this?"
Qin Ziqian's eyes were full of tenderness and comfort, and he responded softly: "Don't worry about this matter, I will take care of everything."
Jiang Nianwei couldn't help but sigh, how could a concubine dare to call her husband so intimately, they were truly a pair of inseparable lovebirds!
Qin Ziqian had clearly instructed his servants not to allow Jiang Nianwei to step out of the room.
When his eyes turned to her, he showed disgust, and protected his concubine behind him. His originally happy expression suddenly turned cold, and he asked sternly: "What are you doing here?"
Jiang Nianwei responded calmly: "It's such a big event for the Marquis' Mansion to take in a concubine, how could the mistress not come out to congratulate?"
At this time, the sister-in-law rushed out, her eyes wide open, and shouted: "You are not worthy of being the mistress of the Marquis's Mansion. Your virtue is not worthy of this position! My brother did not let you out because he cared about your face, but I didn't expect you to shamelessly come out and humiliate yourself."
In the past, Jiang Nianwei was very kind to this sister-in-law. Not only did she provide her with fine clothes and delicious food, but she also generously gave her silks, satins, gold, silver and jewelry as long as she liked them.
Now, she is speaking such bad words to me, which is really ridiculous.
Jiang Nianwei laughed at herself for not being able to judge people well before, "Second Miss, if you feel that I am not worthy of my position, then we can end our friendship. Of course, I would also like to trouble you to return all the things I gave you."
"You! There's no reason to ask for something back after you've given it away. I won't..."
She covered the red hairpin on her head and looked at Jiang Nianwei with resentment, fearing that she would snatch it away.
"Since we have become friends, I will naturally take these things back."
Could it be that these ungrateful people in the Qin Mansion are getting an easy win?
Jiang Nianwei reached out and pulled off the red hairpin, and slapped her hard, "Sister-in-law, you are uneducated. Why don't you let me, your sister-in-law, teach you a lesson and let you know what the rules are."
Seeing the miserable state of my sister-in-law, the resentment in my heart dissipated a little.
"You, you are such a rude woman, no wonder my brother doesn't like you!"
The sister-in-law had never been insulted like this in front of everyone, so she left the main courtyard crying.
The guests around were whispering to each other, and the sound of gossip was endless. It was unheard of to favor a concubine and kill one's wife, and now it aroused everyone's desire to watch the fun.
Qin Ziqian was furious and rebuked him coldly, "How can you bully the young lady of the Marquis' Mansion?"
Jiang Nianwei didn't care: "At least I am still the mistress of this marquis's family, her eldest sister-in-law. Since you don't teach your sister well, how about I discipline her for you?"
After Qin Ziqian heard this, the contempt on his face became even stronger.
He snorted coldly and said sarcastically, "Huh, you? A narrow-minded, jealous woman, are you worthy of being the mistress of the Marquis's mansion? Wanran came in as a concubine, but not only did you not show the slightest bit of the mind and bearing of a mistress, but you also secretly tripped her up. Do you know that one of the seven grounds for divorce is jealousy? Just based on this point, I can divorce you!"
Jiang Nianwei smiled softly and said frankly, "My Lord, you are wrong. I am very happy to see a new person coming to my house. How can I be unhappy at all? I came here today to give you a sincere gift to express my gratitude."
At this time, Meng Wanran was hiding behind Qin Ziqian, with her eyes lowered, pretending to be weak, and she was too timid to look up.
Qin Ziqian was just suspicious, "You still have such good intentions?"
Jiang Nianwei opened the brocade box in her hand, and a crystal clear Hetian jade bracelet came into view.
She smiled and handed the jade bracelet to Meng Wanran, "This is a top-quality Hetian jade bracelet. The jade is warm and the color is elegant. It complements my sister's temperament and will definitely add some brilliance to you."
Although Meng Wanran was a time-travelling girl, she could tell at a glance that the bracelet was a top-quality item. Her eyes immediately lit up, revealing her greedy nature.
Jiang Nianwei handed the bracelet to her. She was about to reach out to take it, but unexpectedly, the other party's hand loosened, and the bracelet fell to the ground and broke into pieces.
Meng Wanran looked up in astonishment. Just as she was about to complain, she saw the other party slap her hard on the cheek, "Sister, you are so weak, can't you even catch this bracelet?"
She covered her cheeks in disbelief and hid beside Qin Ziqian with tears in her eyes, "Husband, she hit me."
Qin Ziqian was so furious that his hair stood on end. He wanted to attack her, but he restrained himself. Jiang Nianwei had no shame, but he did. Now with so many guests watching, if he hit her directly, wouldn't it be confirmed that he favored his concubine over his wife?
"I can no longer tolerate you! How dare you bully a weak woman like Wan Ran! Someone, put the lady under house arrest! Do not give her any food! Let her suffer."
After the guests leave, he will naturally seek justice for Meng Wanran and teach this disobedient woman a lesson.
Suddenly, there was a loud noise outside the door. A tall man in black clothes carrying a spear rushed into the mansion, repelling the guards as if he were in an empty space, and said in a loud voice: "Let's see who dares to put my sister under house arrest!"
Jiang Nianwei looked in the direction of the voice and saw her eldest brother Jiang Lanxu at a glance.
Jiang Lanxu was so handsome that even Qin Ziqian standing next to him pale in comparison. She didn't know how she could have been so blind as to be deceived by this man.
Taozhi hurriedly trotted to her side and said happily, "Madam, I found the eldest master."
Jiang Nianwei nodded slightly and praised: "Well done."
It was truly a timely relief. With the arrival of her family, she suddenly felt more confident and had a solid backing.
Even if a fight breaks out, family members will be there to protect you.
Thinking back to the time when her elder brother fought with the bandits and ended up with no trace left, how could she not be excited when he was standing in front of her alive?
"Nianwei, are you okay?"
The tall Jiang Lanxu was protecting her, just like when she was a child. It was a pity that she had been blinded by Qin Ziqian before and missed the best time to rescue her family. Now she must plan carefully to save all her relatives.
Jiang Nianwei was moved, but knew that this was not the time to discuss the matter, "Brother, Nianwei is fine."
"You are so good, Jiang Nianwei. You let your family protect you. It's ridiculous."
Qin Ziqian had already received the news that the emperor had already expressed dissatisfaction with those memorials. Now, as long as he waited for an opportunity, the entire Jiang family would be confiscated.
Jiang Nianwei probably doesn't know that her elder brother will soon be in danger himself, so how can he protect her?
Thinking of this, Qin Ziqian felt that she was still as ignorant as before, and was probably putting on this show just to attract his attention and win back his heart.
Jiang Nianwei was confident, and took out the letter of separation she had just written, saying calmly, "My Lord, the real gift I want to give you is still here!"
"Since you are so dissatisfied with me, let's get divorced! As long as you write your names, our relationship as husband and wife will end, and I will no longer interfere with your marriages and funerals in the future!"
