Yuan Wei's Quick Travel

When Yuan Wei heard Yuan Cuizhu mention her father, her nose suddenly felt sore and tears flowed uncontrollably from her eyes, soon blurring her vision.

"Aunt, I...I..." Yuan Wei choked up and started speaking, but couldn't utter a complete sentence.

At this time, Nanny Chen came into the room carrying a basin of hot water. Seeing Yuan Wei crying again, she hurriedly comforted her, "Oh, my dear girl, don't cry anymore. Be careful not to hurt your eyes."

Yuan Cuizhu had a stiff face and pretended to comfort Yuan Wei. She patted her shoulder gently, looking distressed.

I secretly cursed this ungrateful niece in my heart.

This damn girl started crying just because I mentioned it. She is really uncomfortable.

Since she couldn't get the key, Yuan Cuizhu didn't want to waste time with Yuan Wei, so she made up an excuse and left.

After Nanny Chen helped Yuan Wei wash her face, she carefully observed her expression and said slowly, "Miss, I have something to say that may offend you. You should not trust me too much. You should be more cautious."

Yuan Wei nodded slightly, pursed her lips, and whispered, "I know, Mammy."

"Oh, that's right, young lady, as long as you know what's going on." Nanny Chen relaxed. "What would you like to eat, young lady? I'll bring it to you."

As long as Yuan Wei listens to advice and is on guard against the old lady, Nanny Chen will be relieved.

The aunt has been displeased with her these past few days, and Nanny Chen is worried that she will be sold out at any time.

Now the girl is the only one left at home, isolated and helpless.

If the aunt wants to sell the servants in the house, I wonder if the girl will speak up for them.

Nanny Chen didn't want to leave the Yuan family.

One reason is that she was used to living in the Yuan family. There was no intrigue and her life was going smoothly.

Another reason is that she was a dowry from Yuan Wei's mother, and she followed Jia Yi from the Jia family to the Yuan family, and watched Yuan Wei grow up.

She has no daughter of her own and has deep feelings for Yuan Wei.

"Just keep it light. Thank you for your hard work, Ma'am."

"It's not hard. As long as the girl is fine, it's fine." Nanny Chen responded and hurried out.

Now Yuan Wei is the only master in the house, and the only servants are Nanny Chen, her husband Zhao Shitou, and their grandson.

Nanny Chen's son and daughter-in-law died in an accident.

The other is Shaoyao, the little maid that the original owner’s father had just bought for the original owner to serve him.

This girl was bribed by Yuan Cuizhu in her previous life and had stabbed the original owner many times.

Yuan Wei didn't want to keep her and wanted to find an opportunity to get rid of her.

In the next few days, Yuan Cuizhu kept looking for an opportunity to get the key from Yuan Wei.

Unfortunately, Yuan Wei was on guard against her and didn't give her any chance. She would cry if she talked too much.

Yuan Cuizhu was helpless and could only go home first.

Otherwise, her husband would come to her house, and she couldn't tell him openly that she coveted Yuan Wei's property.

Otherwise, given Xie Daniu's foolish filial piety, he would have definitely let the whole family know about it, and it would be hard to say who would end up with the money.

"How about your aunt ask your cousin to come and keep you company?" Yuan Cuizhu was unwilling to leave.

Thinking of playing the emotional card first, he also meant to let his daughter monitor Yuan Wei.

Don't let others get there first when you're not around.

"No thanks, aunt." Yuan Wei shook her head and refused. "I want to copy the Filial Piety Sutra for my father, so I'm afraid I won't have time to entertain my cousin. It would be bad if I neglect her."

She didn't want anyone else to bother her, especially those with bad intentions.

"Is that so? Okay then." Yuan Cuizhu said with some regret.

Damn girl, how did you become so slippery?

Then she took Yuan Wei's hand and said, "Auntie will come to see you again in a few days. If you have any problems, please ask someone to come to the house. Auntie will always support you."

After saying that, Yuan Cuizhu reluctantly got on the ox cart.

Finally leaving, Yuan Wei walked into the house easily, "Uncle Zhao, close the door."

The Yuan family's courtyard is in the town and was bought by the original owner's father, Yuan Hongming.

The front yard is very large and is where Yuan Hongming teaches.

Yuan Hongming opened this private school after he didn't want to continue taking the imperial examination.

I had been teaching for ten years, but after Yuan Hongming fell ill at the beginning of the year, the private school was closed.

Only the original owner's fiancé Su Yuebai occasionally came to ask for advice. Usually, it was just the father and daughter at home, and seldom did anyone come to disturb them.

Su Yuebai is two years older than the original owner. He is 15 years old this year. He has already passed the examination for Tongsheng and is preparing to take the examination for Xiucai next year.

Perhaps it was because of the broken engagement in his previous life, but Su Yuebai did not take the imperial examination the next year, but took it three years later.

Afterwards, the original owner got married and deliberately avoided the news about Su Yuebai.

Yuan Wei didn't know what happened to him later.

Yuan Hongming's study was in the front yard. Yuan Wei took out the key from the space and opened the door of the study.

At a glance, you can see bookshelves full of books. Yuan Wei was surprised by the amount of books the original owner's father had.

These books are worth a lot of money. I wonder what the original owner's aunt did with them in the previous life.

With Yuan Cuizhu's vision, she must have just taken a few books home and dealt with the others casually.

In the original owner's memory, these books were not found in the Xie family.

Yuan Wei flipped through the books casually and found that most of them were books about the imperial examinations, as well as some biographies of travels.

The original owner didn't like reading before, so she rarely went to her father's study.

I have no idea what kind of books are in the study.

It was Nanny Chen who suggested locking the study; the original owner never would have thought of that.

It’s a pity that the original owner in the previous life still failed to keep these things.

Yuan Wei put the more precious books, calligraphy and paintings into the space, and put some books that would be useful for the imperial examination aside.

Then he put away the more valuable ornaments.

As for silver and money, Yuan Wei knew that they were in Yuan Hongming's room.

Yuan Hongming died in a hurry and fell into a coma suddenly. He never woke up again.

Therefore, there was no last words left to the original owner.

But he also knew that he didn't have much time left, so he would tell her where the money was kept at home.

Yuan Wei came to the original owner's parents' room and pulled out a secret compartment on the side of the bed.

There were banknotes, small change, and some gold in it.

The total amount was probably about three thousand taels, and there was also a land deed for 50 acres of land, a shop and the deed for this yard.

This is all the Yuan family’s property.

Perhaps the original owner’s mother’s dowry was also included.

In her previous life, the original owner only saw 100 taels of silver in it. I guess the rest was taken away by her good aunt.

Yuan Wei put the things into the space and searched carefully in the room. Finally, she found a jewelry box belonging to the original owner's mother in the corner.

Yuan Wei picked it up carefully and opened it. The jewelry inside was dazzling and shining with alluring light.

Yuan Wei was a little surprised for a moment. She didn't expect that the original owner's mother had so many jewelry.

But it's not surprising. After all, she is the concubine's daughter of the Duke's Mansion. At that time, Duke Rong was still alive. Even if she was out of favor, the Duke Rong's wife had to pretend to be a good wife in front of others.

Yuan Wei closed the jewelry box and put it into the space. There was no place safer than in the space.

"Miss?" Just as Yuan Wei was about to leave, Shaoyao's voice came from the door.

Yuan Wei responded: "I'm here, what's going on?"

Shaoyao stood outside the door and said softly, "Miss, are you sorting out the master's belongings? Let me help you."

Yuan Wei shook her head and replied, "No need, I just came in to take a look. By the way, go ask Nanny Chen to come to my room."

After saying that, Yuan Wei turned around and left, closing the door behind her.

Shaoyao looked at Yuan Wei's departing figure, stamped her feet, and felt secretly regretful in her heart.

If I had known this earlier, I wouldn’t have been lazy. I wonder what the girl did in there.

She was always thinking about the task assigned to her by her aunt - to monitor Yuan Wei.

When Shaoyao thought of what her aunt had promised her, her face turned red with shame.
