Sir Song, do you want to pledge yourself to me?

Ji Nuan showed no fear at all in the face of the grandeur of the Cheng'en Mansion. Instead, she said with a tone of sudden enlightenment, "So the Cheng'en Mansion relies on nepotism to maintain its prosperity and wealth! It's really eye-opening."

"Tsk..." Someone in the crowd couldn't help laughing first, and then bursts of laughter came one after another.

Xiao Jitang looked around, his face instantly turning livid. He had never imagined that his family, of which he had always been so proud, would be so despicable in Ji Nuan's eyes. He was furious, but he didn't dare to act rashly. After all, he had just witnessed Ji Nuan's skills.

Just as he was secretly thinking of the thirteenth plan to get rid of Ji Nuan, Ji Nuan gently patted her smooth shoulders, as if she had just realized that it was not easy to offend the Cheng'en Mansion.

"Oh! But then again, it seems the Cheng'en Mansion is quite resourceful. Well, considering that Cheng'en is so good at giving birth to daughters, I will raise my hand and let your bad-mouthed sister go."

After she finished speaking, her eyes were like knives, shooting straight at Xiao Shuyue who was supported by a maid, and her fingers flicked lightly at a moment when no one was paying attention.

Xiao Shuyue gnashed her teeth and roared at Ji Nuan, "Just wait! Do you think it'll be over if you don't care? The Cheng'en Mansion is not to be trifled with!"

Ji Nuan smiled calmly and turned her gaze to Xiao Jitang, "Look! It seems your sister wants to play Feifei again."

Xiao Jitang quickly denied: "No, no, you saw it wrong!" He was afraid that if he was a little slower, Xiao Shuyue would be kicked out again like before.

"That's good. It saves me from having to go above and beyond." Ji Nuan curled her eyes, jumped onto the roof, and as if she just remembered something she forgot to say, she said arrogantly: "My name is Long Aotian. Come and seek revenge if you want." After she finished speaking, her figure disappeared on the spot.

At this moment, Xiao Jitang had no time to care about Pei Jingrang's previous rudeness. He hurriedly ordered his servants to help Xiao Shuyue rush to Cheng'en Mansion to file a complaint.

Pei Jingrang chuckled secretly on the side. Ji Nuan and Song Jinbai were indeed a couple. It was just as satisfying to see them punish Xiao Jitang!

Shen Muge had a worried look on his face and said to Pei Jingrang, "Third Brother Pei, will Sister Long be in danger? Those two siblings..." They are used to bullying others by taking advantage of their power.

Pei Jingrang had already made a plan: "Don't worry, I'll send someone to secretly watch her when I get back, and won't let anything happen to her."

This person is his future sister-in-law. If something goes wrong under his nose, how can he explain to his brothers?

Jiang Yu interjected, "This was the girl who saved Mu Ge just now, wasn't she? The force of that kick shouldn't be underestimated. Even my father might not have been able to control it just right, returning the lamp stand to its original position without any damage."

Shen Muge didn't know much about martial arts. She only knew that Ji Nuan was very good at martial arts, but she had no idea how good she was.

"Is Sister Long really that powerful? Then I can be a little more at ease." There was relief in her words, and she obviously felt that the stronger Ji Nuan's ability was, the safer she would be.

On the other hand, Xiao Jitang and Xiao Shuyue, brother and sister, returned to Duke Cheng'en's mansion. When faced with Duke Cheng'en's questions, one of them burst into tears, looking very miserable; the other one exaggerated the matter and described it as if Ji Nuan was their grave-digging enemy.

Duke Cheng'en always protected his people. After hearing the two people's stories, he was so angry that he blew his beard and glared. He didn't care that it was getting late at night and immediately ordered a hundred palace soldiers to capture Ji Nuan.

As luck would have it, Ji Nuan felt that simply dealing with the siblings wasn't enough. The reason they dared to bully others so brazenly was ultimately due to the connivance of Duke Cheng'en's residence. Therefore, she decided to teach Duke Cheng'en's residence a lesson as well. After leaving the scene, she headed straight for East City and found the residence.

The Cheng'en Mansion has two hundred soldiers, who are divided into two shifts and take turns to carry out night patrol tasks.

Just as Ji Nuan was sitting on the roof of the Cheng'en Mansion, hesitating whether to take down all the palace guards, an unexpected turn of events occurred. The palace guards who were originally patrolling the mansion suddenly left the mansion one after another, as if they had received some orders.

Now that Kele was pregnant with Ji Nuan, she was like a mouse that fell into a rice jar, sweeping everything away and having a lot of fun.

The storehouse was naturally her first target, and Ji Nuan swiftly and expertly searched through its contents. Not satisfied after clearing the storehouse, she circled around, "cleaning" each courtyard. Whether it was treasures or everyday items, as long as they were still usable, she packed them all up and took them away. At this point, she had only one thought in her mind: "Take it away, take it away, take it all!"

Aside from where the three of them were staying, the rest of the Cheng'en Mansion was completely quiet. Late at night, the palace guards went out to apprehend people but made no progress. Finally, the three of them, overcome with sleepiness, decided to go to bed.

When Lord Cheng'en stepped into the bedroom, the scene before him left him dumbfounded.

"Someone, come quickly! What is going on? Where are the things in the room? Where did they go?" Lord Cheng'en shouted in horror as he looked at the empty bedroom with only four walls left.

However, all he received in response was dead silence. Aside from the servants and two grandsons who had been serving him, the entire mansion seemed deserted, without even a trace of movement.

Duke Cheng'en felt a strong sense of unease in his heart, feeling that something big was about to happen.

"What's going on? Go and see what's going on! Where are those people? Where did they go?" he roared again.

After the servant and Xiao Jitang went out to check the situation, their faces turned pale when they came back, as if they had seen something extremely horrifying.

"Grandfather, everyone has been knocked unconscious. There is nothing left in the mansion except the place where we just stayed." Xiao Jitang's voice trembled with disbelief.

He was devastated. The Cheng'en Mansion was the key to his plan to seize the throne, but now there was nothing left except people. This meant that in the short term, he might need to use his own financial resources to support the Cheng'en Mansion so that it could overcome the current difficulties.

"Warehouse, go to the warehouse and check the situation!" Duke Cheng'en gave the order with difficulty, suppressing his bleeding heart.

His servant had just checked and reported: "Duke, this is terrible! The storehouse has been robbed, there's nothing left, everything is gone!"

"How could this happen? How could this happen..." Lord Cheng'en felt the blood surging in his chest, his eyes rolled back, and he fainted.

"Grandfather! Grandfather..." Xiao Jitang was shocked when he saw this and hurriedly called out to Lord Cheng'en, but he saw no response from him.

"Quick, send one person to get the palace doctor! The other two, quickly fetch some water and wake everyone up!" Xiao Jitang ordered anxiously, wondering inwardly: Who on earth could have done this? How could someone so audacious as to act like this on the grounds of the Cheng'en Mansion?
