Quick wear: cannon fodder is a bit strong
Chapter 46 The Prime Minister's Early Death
Nan Xi said: Give it to me.
Take away all the valuables in Dongmei's room. Of course, it cannot be denied that there may be Dongmei's own private money in it, but, in the past life, she spent her money, hurt her, and didn't charge interest?
Nan Xi will not be merciful to such a person.
She didn't take Dongmei's life with her own hands because she was afraid of dirtying her hands.
Then he flashed to Zhao Wenxuan's study and took away all the brushes, inkstones, tables, chairs, and paintings in the study. Then he found a secret door on the wall where the ink landscape painting used to be.
Perhaps when Nan Xi was packing up her things, she triggered a mechanism somehow, and the door opened directly, revealing a dark passage leading downwards.
Nan Xi raised her eyebrows:
As expected of the future Prime Minister, Zhao Wenxuan is truly amazing! This is clearly the dowry house that General Nan bought for Nan Xi.
In theory, Zhao Wenxuan had no chance to do anything.
But in just two years, Zhao Wenxuan was able to build such a large dark room right under the original owner's nose without any noise.
I have to say, the original owner’s death in the previous life was not too unjust.
I just don't know what's in this dark room.
Nan Xi immediately slipped in, then manually closed the secret door to block the light, and then took out the outdoor lighting from the space to see everything clearly.
The darkroom is not big, about 20 square meters, with antique display shelves on three sides and a lot of space on top.
The things were arranged in an orderly manner and there was not much dust on them. It seemed that Zhao Wenxuan often came in and out here and even cleaned from time to time.
Nan Xi casually flipped through the things on the shelf, firstly out of curiosity, and secondly to find the letter she had brought to the Nan family last time.
Last time, in order not to alert the enemy, Nan Xi did not take the letter away. But even though this thing was fake, it was a time bomb after all, and Nan Xi would not let it remain in the hands of this scumbag forever.
Of course we have to take advantage of this raid to make it disappear.
Nan Xi soon found the letter in a book on the bottom shelf of the front row. After confirming it, she breathed a sigh of relief and threw it directly into the space.
Nan Xi was not very interested in the rest, after all, she was not short of money now.
Mainly out of curiosity.
You should know that Zhao Wenxuan claimed to be from a scholar family, and in his two lives he showed himself to be incorruptible and regarded money as dirt.
As for dealing with official affairs, of course the original owner's dowry was used.
With the Nan family's wealth as a cover, no one ever suspected Zhao Wenxuan.
If she hadn't accidentally discovered this secret room, even Nan Xi would never have thought that Zhao Wenxuan could have accumulated such a fortune in such a short time.
A quick glance reveals that the front row of shelves is primarily filled with antiques, valuable calligraphy and paintings, books, rare manuscripts, and famous inkstones. The shelf on the right primarily features a jade ornament and some jade pendants and hand-held items for men. Several boxes on the left contain gold and silver ingots.
There was a box at the highest point that contained a box of banknotes.
There were both decimal and whole numbers, and the total amount was about 30,000 taels.
Nan Xi couldn't help but be amazed.
You have to know that before Zhao Wenxuan won the third place in the imperial examination, his family was extremely poor. To have been able to save over 30,000 yuan in such a short time, Zhao Wenxuan's ability to amass wealth is truly remarkable.
I guess when he became the Prime Minister in his previous life, this secret room must have been full.
Comparing the several hundred taels of silver and the simple jewelry he had just looted from Min Rouer, he couldn't help but sigh.
In the plot, Min Rouer is still Zhao Wenxuan's true love, is that it?
It's said that where a man's money is, there's his love. It seems that Zhao Wenxuan's feelings for Min Rouer are just like that.
Or perhaps, Zhao Wenxuan and Madam Zhao are indeed mother and son - they are greedy and stingy, yet they have to put on an air of nobleness on the surface, which is really disgusting.
In the previous life, if the original owner's dowry had not fallen into the hands of Min Rouer and her daughter after her death, how could Min Rouer and her daughter survive among the wealthy and noble ladies in the capital?
But they never thanked the original owner in their hearts, nor did they feel the slightest bit of guilt. They only pretended to wipe their eyes with a handkerchief when their enemies occasionally brought up their origins and mocked them.
"My sister (aunt) was unlucky. She passed away early and almost implicated my husband (father). Sigh~"
They acted as if they were magnanimous and didn't blame anyone.
Fortunately, the original owner couldn't hear it, otherwise he would probably be so angry that he would add two more tasks.
It's the typical case of taking advantage of others.
