Chapter 6 Discovering that the Marquis' Mansion Has Been Empty

Tonight, Qin Ziqian welcomed his wedding night and married the woman he had always dreamed of, Meng Wanran, as he wished.

He also got the dowry from that stupid woman Jiang Nianwei.

So what if they divorced? The Jiang family had already become discarded pieces in his chess game, of little value.

Just now, the servant in the mansion came hurriedly to report that Jiang Yan was already in prison and there was a fear that he would never be able to get out.

Jiang Yan, who had always looked down on him, had fallen to this point. The news made Qin Ziqian feel happy and proud.

Tonight, the lights in Yuanshanhou Mansion were bright, and laughter was heard everywhere. Everything that happened during the day seemed like an unimportant farce.

Qin Ziqian walked unsteadily, his face flushed with a tipsy look, and he was obviously drunk by the frequent toasts from the guests.

He walked into the room drunk, looking forward to his wedding night with Meng Wanran.

Meng Wanran sat upright on the bed, with a shy blush on her face: "Husband, you and I can finally stay together forever."

She had thought that the legal wife would be difficult to deal with, but she did not expect that she would be kicked out of the mansion so easily.

This made her secretly happy, and at the same time strengthened her determination to become the mistress of the Marquis' Mansion. With her abilities, it would be a piece of cake.

Qin Ziqian looked at the woman in front of him affectionately. Meng Wanran was the most beautiful and intelligent woman he had ever seen.

She often had many novel ideas, and she even used her own talents to improve the army's weapons, making him more powerful on the battlefield and achieving great achievements.

Unlike Jiang Nianwei who sticks to the rules all day long, he and her have a hard time resonating with each other in their words. If it weren't for the future of the Marquis' Mansion, why would he have gone to so much trouble to plan all this.

Qin Ziqian stared at her, "I promise you that in this life, you are the only one for me. With you, I will never have other women."

After hearing this, Meng Wanran's eyes flashed with emotion. The two held hands and she leaned on his shoulder, secretly delighted in her heart, "Ziqian, I believe you."

The two looked at each other lovingly and were about to enter the bridal chamber when a rapid knock on the door broke the momentary silence like thunder.

Qin Ziqian frowned, with a hint of displeasure in his voice: "Who is so tactless as to disturb us at this moment?"

From outside the door came the panicked voice of her mother, Zhuang Qiuhe: "Ziqian, I have something important to discuss with you!"

Although Qin Ziqian felt disappointed, he still responded, "We can talk about it tomorrow. Tonight is our wedding night, mother, you can handle it yourself."

Zhuang Qiuhe was still shouting outside, "This matter is very serious, come out quickly!"

Meng Wanran felt a surge of irritation in her heart. She had been immersed in the shyness and sweetness of a newlywed, but was completely broken by the sudden shout.

She frowned slightly, turned her back to Qin Ziqian beside her, and said impatiently: "You should go and discuss it with her."

She thought to herself, could it be that the mother-in-law wanted to give her a warning by causing trouble on her wedding night?

Qin Ziqian sighed helplessly, got up quietly, and asked the maid to help him put on his clothes.

"Mother, why are you here so hastily at this time?"

Zhuang Qiuhe's face was as pale as silk. She looked around nervously, then tightly grasped Qin Ziqian's sleeve, and said in a trembling voice: "Ziqian, something is wrong. I just hurried to the warehouse, but found that all the treasures stored there have... disappeared without a trace! What's even more strange is that the little bitch's private vault is also empty."

Qin Ziqian's face suddenly changed when he heard this. He frowned and a trace of disbelief flashed in his eyes: "How is this possible? Jiang Nianwei has always stayed in the mansion obediently. I have never seen her behave in the slightest, let alone leave with anything unless..."

Ziqian's thoughts raced, and a thought flashed through his mind, "Could it be that you, mother..."

In the past, when he wanted to take a concubine, Zhuang Qiuhe's face was full of reluctance.

She thought that although Meng Wanran was extremely intelligent, she was ultimately an orphan with no one to rely on. How could she be worthy of being admitted into the Marquis's mansion?

Moreover, he saw Jiang Nianwei handing the key to her with his own eyes in the main courtyard at that time.

"This... this is absolutely impossible, Ziqian, how can you be so suspicious?"

Qin Ziqian felt extremely anxious. "Mother, unless Jiang Nianwei has the ability to take things from the air, how could she have emptied the warehouse? I don't believe in these tricks."

Just as the two were arguing, a servant suddenly came to report: "My Lord, the old lady is in trouble. There are thieves in our house. I found that the granary has been looted!"

Qin Ziqian was stunned. He had been planning for so long just to get Jiang Nianwei's dowry.

Now the warehouse is empty, and even the granary has been emptied. How can he not be furious?

"Take me there!" he roared angrily.

Several people hurried to the granary where grain was stored. Qin Ziqian rubbed his eyes in disbelief. The warehouse was empty, not even a grain of rice was left.

His face turned livid, and he reluctantly went to check the warehouse. Sure enough, the boxes were still there, but the contents were all gone.

Thinking back to when Jiang Nianwei got married, he saw it clearly: the house was full of gold, silver and jewelry.

He angrily opened several boxes in succession, and his heart became heavier with each box he opened.

Not only did the treasures disappear, but even the silver and money that they had placed here for show disappeared without a trace.

"Quickly bring the warehouse manager here! I want to personally verify whether there is really a thief in this mansion!"

The silence of the night was broken. The warehouse manager was disturbed by the hurried footsteps. He was forced to wake up from his sleep and was rudely dragged up by the servants. He knelt in front of Qin Ziqian with a terrified face.

He shouted in a trembling voice: "My Lord, today... today only Madam... no, it was Jiang's daughter who came to the storehouse and took away a pair of jade bracelets. The rest of the items were left intact. I... I saw it with my own eyes, and she was indeed the only one who entered the storehouse!"

Qin Ziqian suppressed his anger and asked coldly, "Did you collude with that abandoned woman to steal the property in the mansion? If you dare to lie again, you and your family will die..."

Mr. Storehouse was extremely panicked at this moment. He kowtowed repeatedly and said, "Even if I have a thousand courage, I will never dare to lie! I really remember that day... there was another person who stepped into this storehouse. It was... it was the old lady. Yes, it was the old lady!"

His trembling finger pointed at Zhuang Qiuhe, and he continued to explain: "My Lord, when you were hosting the banquet, the old lady...she sent me away and went into the storeroom alone. If I really wanted to steal, how could I have moved everything away in such a short time?"

At this time, suspicion once again shrouded Zhuang Qiuhe.

Facing her son's doubts, Zhuang Qiuhe was eager to explain herself, "Ziqian, I am your biological mother, how could I do such a dirty thing? Besides, what use are these gold and silver treasures to me? They will eventually belong to you, how could I be so stupid as to ruin my future and do such an unjust thing?"

Qin Ziqian was really confused and puzzled by this, and his mother really wouldn't do that.

But it is incredible that the thief could steal gold, silver and treasures so quietly.

Is there really such a thing as magic?

Meng Wanran had naturally heard about the commotion in the mansion.

Since she could travel here, it's not surprising that someone could empty the warehouse.

In modern times, she often read novels and knew that there was such a treasure as portable space, into which all treasures in the vault could be transferred.

Of course, she couldn't express such speculation at the moment.

Meng Wanran frowned slightly, and after thinking deeply, she slowly spoke: "Husband, could it be that your ex-wife was unwilling to give up and simply moved all the dowry away? Otherwise, why would she hand over the warehouse key so easily?"

Qin Ziqian was puzzled and said, "It is indeed puzzling. How could the items in the warehouse disappear without a trace in one day?"

"Perhaps Jiang used some unknown means to move all those items away. Apart from this, what other explanation can explain all this?"

Qin Ziqian sighed. Although his worries had not dissipated, he was also glad that the real wealth of his family was not stored in that warehouse.

Thinking of this, he became panicked again. He didn't even pay attention to Meng Wanran who was standing beside him, but rushed straight towards the study.

Qin Ziqian pushed open the door of the hidden secret room in the study with trembling hands, his breathing was rapid and his heart was beating as violently as a drum.

He quickly stepped into the secret room, and the scene before him stunned him for a moment.

The secret room that was originally filled with the treasures of the marquis' mansion was now empty. All the treasures and money disappeared without a trace.

He felt dizzy, his legs seemed to have lost support, and he leaned weakly against the wall.

Not only that, the cabinet that hid a huge secret was also missing.

Qin Ziqian just felt dizzy. He couldn't believe that his ex-wife, who used to be timid and submissive, had the ability to do such a thing!

She was so timid that she couldn't even bear to step on an ant on the ground. She was as innocent as a blank sheet of paper. How could she have such deep scheming and methods?

Zhuang Qiuhe, who was following behind him, was also stunned when she saw the empty secret room.

He sat down on the ground and began to beat his chest and stamp his feet, "What sin have I committed? How could someone be so powerful!"
