After taking a health-enhancing pill, An Lingrong felt that all her chronic illnesses were gone, and even her breathing became much smoother.

The fitness pills improve the body from the inside out and will not cause obvious changes. She plans to secretly let her mother take the remaining pill.

Feeling the magic of the body-building pill, An Lingrong took the snow-white Ice Muscle Jade Bone Pill in her hand to examine it. The rich medicinal aroma filled her face, tempting her mouth to salivate even though she had tasted the most delicious delicacies.

This pill also transforms the body subtly and takes a month to take effect.

Considering that the Ice Muscle and Jade Bone Pills improved everything from the outside in and had obvious effects, An Lingrong, who still had things to do, put the pills back into the small medicine cabinet given by the system.

After she bound herself to the system, she could sense the presence of a small three-layer medicine cabinet decorated with auspicious clouds and copper.

Each layer of the small medicine cabinet has four solid wood drawers, and the pills in the gift occupy seven of the drawers with ring handles.

An Lingrong tiptoed to lock the door from the inside, and put her purse, clothes, and pillow into the empty drawer one by one. When she tried to put the quilt in later, she couldn't fit it in.

She had an idea of ​​how much the world in her sleeve, bestowed by the system, could hold.

I don’t know how long it took, but as the sky brightened, I heard slight footsteps in the yard.

Hearing the noise, An Lingrong knew that her mother had gotten up.

Since she lost her position as housekeeper, Lin Xiu was confined to the backyard to embroider. When her eyesight deteriorated, she took over the laundry and mending work in the mansion.

The mother and daughter were able to survive thanks to Lin Xiu's hands.

When An Lingrong was little, she believed that her wicked concubine was torturing her and her mother behind her father's back, and she naively went to An Bihuai to cry about their hard life.

But what she got in return was a beating and her mother hugged her and cried in frustration countless times.

From then on, she learned to read people's expressions carefully, for fear of annoying them and making the already difficult life of mother and daughter even worse.

Last night I had already thought of it. I would first use the wealth and glory after the election to tangle An Bihuai, and then use the fact that the current emperor values ​​the queen to warn him, in an attempt to improve the situation of my mother and Aunt Xiao in the mansion.

Now that she had the magic little medicine cabinet, she had a better idea.

Lin Xiu was busy washing clothes, while An Lingrong's breakfast and medicine were brought to her by Aunt Xiao who was busy running around.

Aunt Xiao looked at the sick girl lying on the bed with heartache and said.

"Miss, I heard that drinking medicinal juice can upset your stomach. Why don't you have some porridge first, and then take the medicine?"

"Okay, I'll listen to you, Auntie."

An Lingrong was not pretentious. After Aunt Xiao fed her a few mouthfuls of white porridge, she calmly swallowed the medicine.

Aunt Xiao carefully helped An Lingrong lie down, tucked the quilt in for her, and left with the bowl in her hand, her eyes filled with tears.

When she was boiling the medicine, she felt it was very bitter. She begged the foxy woman in the main courtyard humbly, but she couldn't get even a little bit of sweet food.

People also say that people with low lives are not worthy of enjoying expensive things.

The eldest daughter is about to go to the capital to participate in the general election, and good days are yet to come.

A bunch of shallow-eyed bitches!

Aunt Xiao cursed in her heart, but when she saw the lady, she hurried to help wash the clothes.

The clothes that were sent could not be washed all at once, and the ones who suffered were the lady and the eldest daughter.

The sun sets and the moon disappears, and there is silence outside.

An Lingrong made sure that Lin, who was tired after a day of work, had fallen asleep, and she nimbly climbed over the collapsed corner of the courtyard wall.

The fitness pills are indeed a miracle drug. Although the outside world is dark to others, she can see everything clearly.

She easily avoided the patrolling servants and took many turns to reach An Bihuai's yard.

In her previous life, before she left home, An Bihuai hadn't spent a penny. If it weren't for Aunt Xiao's help, she wouldn't have been able to reach the capital.

Among the other girls who participated in the selection, she was the only one who not only had a poor family background, but was also so poor that it was known throughout the entire harem.

This time she didn't want to give anyone the chance to laugh at her. An Lingrong clenched her fists, walked around to a bamboo forest, and found a hidden dog hole that she had discovered by accident.

Women in the south of the Yangtze River consider fragility as beauty. In addition, the mother and daughter were treated harshly and lacked food and clothing for a long time. The slender An Lingrong easily got into the dog hole.

An Bihuai took in a beautiful concubine half a month ago, so he naturally couldn't let her stay alone in the empty room.

The servants serving in the courtyard all stayed in the back room at the front, which was very convenient for An Lingrong.

She calmly took out a brick she picked up and smashed it at the paper-covered window.

When she saw the patrol lanterns coming from outside the yard from afar, she stopped, and continued smashing when the people walked away.

The bricks falling one by one reminded her of the last days of humiliation she had suffered in the Yanxi Palace.

Slaps on the mouth one after another reminded her that she must get something from An Bihuai's study.

In less than a cup of tea, a small hole appeared in the window, big enough for an arm to pass through.

The hand wrapped in the handkerchief moved slightly, and the window opened from the inside.

An Lingrong placed the brick that had been used to open the window under her feet and stepped on it to climb into the house.

She patted her chest in fear. It was the first time in her life that she entered her father's study, and she was still a little nervous.

The layout of the study, which I had never been to before, was very simple, with a table, a chair, a bookshelf and two willow-leaf vases.

I searched everywhere but didn't find any valuables.

An Lingrong was quietly measuring the bricks in the study. When she walked near the chair, a strange fragrance came faintly.

She followed the scent, and the source of the fragrance was directly under the Ruyi Chair.

Gently knock on the bricks, and the echo indicates that there is something hidden underneath.

An Lingrong moved the heavy chair away and used a hairpin to pry up the floor tiles one by one.

She pulled out a heavy locked wooden box, but she tried, and it was too big to fit into the small medicine cabinet.

Seeing that the wealth that was within her reach could not be put into her pocket, she took out another brick.

After smashing the lock, she did not open the box directly. Instead, she wrapped herself in clothes she picked up from the yard, leaving only her eyes exposed.

There are spices placed by Anbihuai in the box. To be cautious, it always helps to be on the safe side.

After being out for a while, An Lingrong took away all the gold ingots, silver ingots, banknotes and two small boxes of jewelry in the box.

In the end, he even did not let go of the ink stick on An Bihuai's desk. He tore off two pages of the book on the table and wrapped it up.

After the wooden box and bricks were put back in place, An Lingrong returned along the same route.

He climbed out of the yard and moved a few stones from the bamboo forest to block the dog hole that no one knew about.

Late in the night, she walked from the backyard to the study, and then ran to the main room. Even with the help of the fitness pills, the extremely nervous An Lingrong relaxed and collapsed as soon as she returned to the room.

After taking a big sip of cold water from the broken teapot, she slowly let out a breath.

After finishing her preparations, An Lingrong lay on the bed and checked the contents of the small medicine cabinet.

No wonder people often say that three years as a clean magistrate can earn you 100,000 silver coins.

An Bihuai was a small eighth-rank county magistrate, but he had a collection of gold, silver ingots and banknotes amounting to 9,350 taels. Of course, he also had two small boxes filled with pendants, earrings, earring pendants, ear pliers, bracelets, bracelets and other gold, silver and jade ornaments.
