Don't panic if your home is confiscated or you are exiled, just empty the warehouse and stock u

Ah Zhao picked up the shovel and said, "Let's get started. Dig deeper and you'll find the answer."

After saying that, he dug the shovel in his hand deeply into the soil and started digging a hole, but after digging in several places, he still found nothing.

Feng hid in the dark, with a cunning look in her eyes, her eyeballs kept moving around: "You actually believed what Jing Xiangxue said. Her memory has been disordered for a long time, and her words are nonsense. Why waste your time here? Why don't you save me? I can tell you the location of the Lu Mansion's private vault! There are a lot of gold, silver and jewelry in it! Enough to make you worry-free for the rest of your life!"

Feng secretly calculated in her heart that even if she told this group of people, she would only lead them down a path of no return.

There are numerous traps in the warehouse. If you are not careful, you will be doomed.

Jing Xiangxue hurriedly grabbed Jiang Nianwei's sleeve and said, "You can't go. It's very dangerous."

Jiang Nianwei naturally wouldn't believe what Feng said, "Don't worry, I won't be deceived by her."

He turned and looked at Feng coldly, "I don't trust my own family, so how can I easily trust someone like you who is obsessed with profit and is used to calculating?"

As Jiang Nianwei slowly approached, Feng felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity welling up in her heart.

If you only look at the upper half of her face, she looks like... the vendor who set up a stall selling night-shining pearls that day.

Feng's expression suddenly changed from bewilderment to shock: "So... it was you! Everything that happened that day was a carefully planned scheme by you..."

"You have only just come to your senses today? Feng, Feng, you think you have the bargaining chips, but you don't know that you have already stepped into the chess game from the beginning. Negotiating terms? Humph, you are not worthy."

Feng felt cold all over. She tried to struggle to sit up, but the movement made her wounds hurt as if they were torn apart. She couldn't help but grimace and groan in pain.

Shuangshuang curled her lips in contempt: "I just gave your clothes to that flower thief and tricked him a few times, so he really came to the Lu Mansion to meet you arrogantly. Maybe this flower thief still has some feelings for you. You two are a perfect match."

Feng was so angry that her body was shaking, "You...are you really framing me?"

Jiang Nianwei smiled playfully: "How can this be called a frame-up? You and the flower thief have always had an affair, and Lu Chang is indeed not Lu Yong's child. I just want that old guy Lu Yong to recognize your true face as soon as possible."

That day, she added a few more herbs into the Huan Yi Xiang, which could cause hallucinations and make the aphrodisiac effect even stronger.

As she expected, Feng and Monk Hua fell into hallucinations at Lu's residence and couldn't help themselves, which made this farce known to everyone.

Suddenly Ah Zhao shouted, "Found it, it's here!"

When he dug the fifth pit, he finally found a brocade box wrapped in cloth.

Jing Xiangxue took out something from the brocade box and smiled happily, "This is it! This is the mechanism diagram that my father left for me. As long as we have this, we can enter the private vault."

The current Lu Mansion was the former Jing Mansion, and this private vault was naturally the former Jing family’s private vault.

Feng's body twisted violently in despair, and every gasp seemed to carry resentment. "Found it, you actually found it. These were supposed to belong to Chang'er and me..."

Jiang Nianwei showed impatience and kicked Feng. "Everything you have eaten, worn and used over the years, and even every brick and tile in this house, are all the wealth accumulated by the Jing family for generations. You even claim that the gold, silver and jewelry in the private vault belong to you. It's ridiculous! You and Lu Yong are just thieves who stole the Jing family's property. You greedily stole everything that did not belong to you. How dare you say that these things belong to you?"

She took out a poison pill from her bag and stuffed it into her mouth. "You tortured my aunt to death, and I want to make you feel worse than death."

Feng tried to say something but found her throat was extremely painful and she could not make any sound. Then she fell into endless darkness.

After waking up again, he found that he could no longer move. His whole body felt like it was being bitten and he was unable to make a sound. He could only watch those four people.

Jing Xiangxue's body swayed slightly, and she almost staggered. Fortunately, Jiang Nianwei was quick to hold her steady, and her tone was full of concern: "Aunt, are you feeling unwell?"

Jing Xiangxue stroked his forehead lightly, a look of fatigue on his face, and said softly: "It's nothing, I just suddenly felt dizzy, I'm afraid it's due to overwork in recent days, can we go back for a while?

Jiang Nianwei agreed gently: "Of course, my aunt's health is important, we will go back now."

There is really no rush to enter the private library.

Besides, Ah Zhao and Shuang Shuang were both here today, so she couldn't take the things from the private vault away.

Jing Xiangxue recalled something again, but she could only explain this matter to her family members in private, so she pretended to be uncomfortable.

When Jiang Nianwei felt her pulse, she slowly began to explain: "In fact, there is more than one layer of private storage. There is another layer underneath. Even Lu Yong doesn't know about this. The things in it were left to your mother by your grandfather. Now that you are here, it's the same to tell you."

Jiang Nianwei suddenly felt puzzled and whispered softly, "Things left for my mother?"

"That's right. Only this map can point you to the secret entrance. When you try to find a way to enter the private vault, you must follow the instructions on the map."

"I understand."

She also wanted to know what her grandfather had left for her mother, something so mysterious.

The clearer the memories in Jing Xiangxue's mind, the more painful she felt.

But she still endured it, pretending nothing had happened, and did not forget to thank him: "Also, thank you for saving me and helping me get revenge."

Jiang Nianwei shook her head, "But hasn't the person you hate the most been dealt with yet?"

Jing Xiangxue lowered her eyes, feeling sad, and took out the brocade box she had dug out from the sheepfold. "In fact, in addition to the mechanism diagram, there is another thing inside. You are proficient in the art of medicine, can you help me take a look at these two packets of medicine and what is wrong with this prescription?"

Jiang Nianwei took the medicine: "Of course."

"Your grandfather was usually in good health, but he caught a cold and stayed bedridden. He eventually coughed up blood and passed away."

"Your grandmother fainted due to excessive grief, and then took the medicine prescribed by the doctor. Within a month, she recovered... At the beginning, I was shocked by the successive losses of my relatives and did not think about the inappropriateness of it. I just put away the remaining medicine and the prescription. Now that my mind is clear, I feel that something is wrong."

Jiang Nianwei first looked at the prescription and found that it was indeed the right medicine for the condition and there was no problem at all.

He then sniffed the herbs in the medicine bag and poured them out, frowning, "Aunt, there is nothing wrong with this prescription, but arsenic was added to the herbs."

When Jing Xiangxue heard the word arsenic, she began to cough violently.

Jiang Nianwei's expression became more serious. "Even if it was a trace amount of arsenic, it would still cause great harm to the two elderly people over time. If it continues for a long time, they will definitely be poisoned... This is probably the cause of their death."

Jing Xiangxue's tears could not stop falling, and she cried: "Dad and Mom, it was Xiangxue who was unfilial. She failed to see through the conspiracy behind it sooner, allowing the treacherous hands to take advantage of it."

She suppressed her grief and wiped away the tears on her cheeks with her hands. Hatred gradually rose in her eyes: "To mix arsenic into the medicine, only a close confidant in the mansion could do it... Lu Yong, this ruthless man, I will make him pay for the blood debt of my parents!"

Jiang Nianwei suddenly felt a wave of sadness in her heart. If she could have come back earlier, could she have reversed this tragedy? For the first time, she felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

"This time, Nianwei, can you help me... I want to put an end to that beast with my own hands."

"Okay, auntie, I will help you, but you need to bear with it for a while..."

……

Lu Yong felt extremely troubled by what had happened in recent days, especially Jing Xiangxue's niece.

Seeing that his behavior was so mysterious and he was able to appear in Lu Mansion without anyone noticing, they strengthened the guard of Lu Mansion and felt relieved.

During this period, Lu Yong also went back to the private vault. Only when he saw the room full of gold, silver and jewelry every day could he find comfort.

Tomorrow, after all the accounts are settled, he plans to go to the prefect's house again to express his gratitude.

In the past few days, the governor's attitude has become increasingly inhumane.

At first he just avoided the meeting, but then the situation suddenly changed. The prefect ordered a thorough investigation of the Lu Mansion, directly accusing it of tax evasion.

Just when he was busy and overwhelmed, he discovered that all kinds of shops had opened in Linzhou City at some point.

The things sold in the shop are of good quality and low price. Local residents would rather queue up to buy them than take care of Lu's business.

The series of incidents dealt a heavy blow to Lu Kee's business.

In the market, rumors are like willow catkins in spring, floating lightly but penetrating everywhere.

"Have you ever heard of the secret of the Lu Mansion? It is rumored that the child of Lu Yong is not of his legitimate bloodline, but the result of his concubine's secret pregnancy with an outsider."

"Alas, money and power are just floating clouds that block one's view. Take Lu Yong for example. He has a huge fortune, but he still cannot escape the disaster of a fire in his backyard."

"You may not know what happened to Lu Yong in the past. He is not worthy of sympathy."

"What's the matter? Let's talk about it."

"Lu Yong's original wife was the daughter of the Jing family. Everything he earned came from his original wife's family. What he did was tantamount to crossing the river and destroying the bridge. He was ungrateful. Perhaps it was the law of nature that punished him."

Several people were talking loudly in the teahouse, but they heard a violent cough beside them, and the voices became lower.

When Lu Yong heard such rumors, he couldn't help feeling uncomfortable, but everything they said was true.

He abandoned his original wife, seized her property, and promoted Feng to be his second wife. He was originally full of vigor and vitality.

Who knew that all this was just to prepare for others, and in the end he was the one who suffered the consequences.

Just when he was feeling frustrated, a familiar figure quietly came into his sight.

It was like his original wife, Jing Xiangxue. At first, he almost thought it was an illusion, a phantom caused by excessive longing.

After rubbing my eyes, I realized that it was real, and I couldn't help but feel secretly happy.

I haven't seen her for a few days, and now she is no longer the disheveled girl she was in the mansion.

She lowered her head and talked to a street vendor, a faint smile on her lips, and her brows revealed an unintentional gentleness and calmness.

Lu Yong once felt that such gentleness and calmness were an insult to him.

Although he is a son-in-law, he also has his own dignity.

Jing Xiangxue has been educated in the ways of business since he was young, and even his business methods are better than his.

The woman's ability was far superior to her husband's, and with the rumors and gossip all around, a gap began to develop between the two of them, which gave his former lover, Feng, an opportunity to take advantage of it.

Lu Yong was already dissatisfied with his father-in-law and mother-in-law. At Feng's instigation, he wanted to devise a plan to get rid of these two old fools who were meddling in other people's affairs.

After the two elders passed away, they used Jing Zhuo as a threat and forced Jing Xiangxue to hand over all the business.

They forced Jing Zhuo to change his surname, but he refused, so they kicked him out of the house.

But now, Lu Yong actually felt a little regretful, if he had not done such a thing.

Jing Xiangxue might still be handling the family business, and he can still enjoy freedom and wealth legitimately. The Jing family has never been harsh on him in terms of money. How could he have fallen into such a desperate situation now?

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but miss the original Jing Xiangxue again. If she hadn't become crazy, she would still be useful to me.

The two did not divorce, so they are still husband and wife.

Lu Yong followed her quietly, recalling every detail of the past.

Jing Xiangxue walked into the alley and suddenly stopped, "Lu Yong, why are you still following me?"

Lu Yong's heart suddenly tightened, and a look of panic flashed across his face. He tried to cover up his uneasiness with words: "Xiang Xue, I heard that you escaped from the mansion and finally got free. Now you have regained consciousness. I am actually very relieved."

When Jing Xiangxue saw Lu Yong now, she was filled with hatred.

On the surface, he still maintained a decent smile: "I have been trapped in that place for so many years. You know very well the suffering I have gone through. Why do you have to pretend to be concerned and sympathetic?"

Lu Yong looked anxious. Seeing that she had returned to normal, he quickly pretended to be sincere and clarified: "Xiang Xue, I was just blinded by that vicious woman Feng. Until now, I have just woken up from my dream. The person I care about has always been you. As long as you are willing, I will take you back to the mansion immediately. You will still be my only wife and you can still enjoy the wealth and glory you had before."

Jing Xiangxue felt an indescribable feeling of nausea in her heart, but she had to force a gentle smile on her face: "Okay, I forgive you, but in exchange, you must swear to completely dismiss the concubines in your house."

Lu Yong was overjoyed. He begged her to come back so that he could dispel the rumors outside.

Jing Xiangxue is by no means a greedy person like Feng, and he is well versed in business. He is definitely a great help to him now that he is surrounded by enemies.

"I knew you would forgive me. They are just concubines. Just send them away at will. Come back with me now. I have sent someone to find Jing Zhuo. I believe that after some time, our family of three will be reunited."

Jing Xiangxue raised a mocking smile at the corner of his mouth: "Okay."
