Chapter 169 Many Treasures in the Space

"Dad, Mom, please stop walking back and forth like this, okay? Don't worry, Mumu will definitely be fine."

Look, the items in that warehouse are constantly decreasing every day, which is enough to prove that she has been moving the items out!

"If that's the case, how could she possibly have met with misfortune?" Ruan Haohao quickly comforted her parents, who were pacing anxiously back and forth in the living room.

It's no wonder that Ruan Wanfu and Zhang Yufang were so anxious, after all, almost two months had passed, and during that time, Ruan Mumu hadn't made a single phone call back.

They had agreed to meet in the space on the fifteenth of each month, but this time Ruan Mumu broke her promise and didn't even step into that space.

If Ruan Mumu were already an adult at this point, her parents might not be as worried as they are now.

However, Ruan Mumu is only fourteen years old now, still a child. They are very worried that she will not be able to handle so many sudden and special situations in ancient times alone.

"Haohao, why don't you tell your mother why we can't call your sister? Oh dear, it's driving me crazy!" Zhang Yufang complained with a worried and slightly annoyed expression.

"Mom, isn't Tinghao taking care of Mumu over there? You don't need to worry so much, so as not to get anxious and stressed," Ruan Haohao said again.

Ruan Wanfu also put his hands on Zhang Yufang's shoulders to comfort her, saying, "Yufang, don't worry too much. Haohao is right. With Tinghao taking care of her over there, nothing will happen."

Just as they were worrying, Liao Jiaqi, heavily pregnant, came downstairs and held up her phone, saying, "Dad, Mom, husband, Mumu is calling."

When Ruan Haohao saw his wife, he quickly went over to help her.

"Thank you, sister-in-law. I've missed you so much." Ruan Mumu's voice came through the phone, which was on speakerphone.

Liao Jiaqi was very excited, her hand holding the phone began to tremble slightly: "Mumu, your sister-in-law misses you very much too. I never thought I'd have the chance to hear your voice again..."

Liao Jiaqi burst into tears as soon as she opened her mouth.

Ruan Haohao gently embraced her, wiped away her tears with his hand, and said softly, "Qiqi, don't get excited. The doctor said you shouldn't get excited and should keep a calm mood."

"Yes, sister-in-law, don't get too excited. We'll meet again someday, and I believe that day isn't far off," Ruan Mumu's voice came again.

"I understand." Liao Jiaqi composed herself and sat down on the sofa.

"Alright, I won't say any more. I have something to take care of right now, so I'll keep it short."

In another hour, let's meet in the space and talk in detail. We just finished attacking the capital of the Western Rong and stormed into the harem. Tinghao and I have just collected so many treasures from the palace. I'll show them to you later. We still have some things to do here.

"Sister-in-law, I'll call you when I have time to have a good chat. I can't say much now. Please take good care of yourself!" Ruan Mumu chose to keep the conversation short. She still wanted to visit other palaces to see if there were any more treasures.

"Mumu, you must be extra careful and pay attention to safety!" Ruan Wanfu was very excited to hear his beloved daughter's voice, but he couldn't get a chance to speak. When he finally found an opportunity to interject, he quickly gave her some instructions.

"Okay, I understand. Thank you, Dad, thank you everyone. I'll hang up now." Ruan Mumu said and then hung up the phone.

"Dad, Mom, I already told you, Mumu is fine," Ruan Haohao said with a smile.

He was very excited to hear his sister's voice. At least he knew she was safe and sound, and his heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down.

Upon hearing that she would see her beloved daughter in an hour, Zhang Yufang quickly pulled Ruan Wanfu to the kitchen to prepare some delicious food for her daughter.

An hour passed quickly. After the three of them entered the space, Ruan Mumu led them to the fifth floor. When they saw the dazzling array of gold and silver jewelry, they were all taken aback.

"My goodness, have you collected all the jewels from the palace?" Ruan Wanfu exclaimed in surprise.

Ruan Mumu crossed her arms, her face full of smugness. She slightly raised her chin, glanced at the three members of the Ruan family in front of her, and said with a light laugh, "No, don't make a fuss. These are just the emperor's private treasury."

Ruan Haohao stared wide-eyed at the mountain of rare and exotic treasures piled up before him, his face filled with disbelief.

He glanced around at the items in front of him, and suddenly, as if he had discovered a new continent, he pointed to the incredibly luxurious bed not far away and asked loudly, "Mumu, did you even bring over the emperor's dragon bed?"

Upon hearing this, Ruan Wanfu and Zhang Yufang quickly looked in the direction Ruan Haohao was pointing.

In that instant, they felt as if they were in a bizarre and absurd dream, and a strong sense of disorientation washed over them, as if they had wandered into the wrong theater.

After a moment of stunned silence, Ruan Wanfu came to his senses and quickly walked towards the large bed.

As he walked, he muttered to himself in disbelief, "This...is this really the dragon bed?" When he reached the bed, he stopped and gently stroked the exquisitely carved edge of the bed, his eyes revealing undisguised curiosity and amazement.

Zhang Yufang followed closely behind and arrived at the dragon bed.

She examined the bed in front of her carefully. It looked like the canopy bed seen in TV dramas, but it was different.

The bed canopy is made of bright yellow brocade, with delicate gold thread used to embroider the edges with gorgeous and intricate patterns, making it look magnificent and extraordinary.

Zhang Yufang couldn't help but turn to look at Ruan Mumu, and asked in confusion, "Mumu, how did you manage to bring this dragon bed back?"

"Mom, to be honest, I didn't have time to think about these things carefully before. At that time, I only had one thought in my mind, which was to pack up all the items as soon as possible."

Think about it, this is something the emperor used, how could it possibly be cheap?

Even a small spittoon would probably be worth a fortune! Let alone if this thing existed in our modern era!

"If we send it to an auction, we might be able to get a considerable fortune!" Ruan Mumu said, glancing at Zhang Yufang apologetically.

Upon hearing Ruan Mumu's words, the three were first taken aback, then could no longer suppress their laughter and burst into tears.

In an instant, the entire room was filled with joyful laughter, as if it were about to lift the roof off.

However, just as the laughter and cheers subsided, Zhang Yufang suddenly stretched out her arms and hugged Ruan Mumu tightly.

Her eyes had turned red without her noticing, and tears streamed down her cheeks like a burst dam.

Ruan Mumu panicked for a moment and asked anxiously, "Mom, what's wrong? Why are you crying all of a sudden?"

Ruan Wanfu said calmly, "Oh dear, let her have a good cry! You child, it's been almost two months, and we haven't heard a word from you. Your mother and I are on tenterhooks every day..."

Upon hearing this, Ruan Mumu felt a pang of guilt.

Thinking back carefully, I realized that I hadn't had any contact with my family since the last time I met them.

Her family couldn't reach her at all, so how could they not be worried? Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel extremely regretful.

So Ruan Mumu hugged Zhang Yufang tightly and whispered, "Mom, don't cry, it's all my fault."

As if she had found an outlet, Zhang Yufang buried her face in her daughter's arms and burst into tears.

The cries were filled with endless longing and worry, and they broke one's heart.

And so, Ruan Mumu held Zhang Yufang in his arms, letting her cry her heart out for a good ten minutes.

Once Zhang Yufang finally stopped crying and her emotions gradually stabilized, the whole family breathed a long sigh of relief.

At this moment, Zhang Yufang's eyes were red and swollen, and her face looked haggard, but her mood had obviously calmed down a lot.

Ruan Mumu turned her head and glanced at her three relatives in front of her. She said apologetically, "Dad, Mom, and Big Brother, I'm so sorry for making you worry about me."

We've been fighting all this time, the situation is very tense, and I'm so busy every day that I completely forgot about contacting my family.

I really didn't mean it, please forgive me.

As she spoke, her eyes welled up with tears.

Ruan Haohao tenderly stroked his younger sister Ruan Mumu's hair and gently comforted her, "It's alright, little sister! We know you didn't mean it, and no one is blaming you."

No matter how busy you are in the future, remember to let your family know you're safe and sound, otherwise your parents will still worry about you.

After saying that, he gently patted Ruan Mumu on the shoulder to show his understanding and tolerance.

“Okay, big brother, I understand!” Ruan Mumu replied.

"Alright, alright! Mumu must be starving by now. Let's not just stand here. The important thing is to get her something good to eat to fill her stomach."

"It's not too late to come up and admire these glittering gold and silver treasures later!" Ruan Wanfu suggested hastily with a beaming smile.

He knew very well that breaking the deadlock and easing the tension was the most important thing at this moment.

"That's right! Mumu, didn't you tell us that you just successfully stormed the palace? This battle has lasted for so long, you must be exhausted. You should treat yourself to a good meal!"

"Come on, let's have a good meal first, and we can talk about everything else after we finish eating." Zhang Yufang said, while reaching out and tightly grabbing Ruan Mumu's arm, eagerly pulling her downstairs.

The group quickly arrived at the restaurant. Ruan Mumu sat down slowly, looking somewhat tired. After letting out a soft sigh, she said, "Dad, Mom, Big Brother, I'm really sorry, I'm afraid I won't be able to stay with you for too long this time."

There are still a lot of things waiting for me to handle outside; the situation is complex and unpredictable, and I can't afford to be careless in the slightest. So it's already a great privilege that we can have this brief reunion today.

At this point, a hint of helplessness and reluctance appeared in Ruan Mumu's eyes.

"Wasn't Tinghao with you? Why didn't I see him come in with you?" Ruan Wanfu suddenly asked.

At this moment, Zhang Yufang and Ruan Haohao finally realized that what they had been feeling was missing was that Qiao Tinghao had not appeared.

No, they hadn't met before, but they just assumed that since the two of them were together, they should appear together.

"Alas, the Purple Elf couldn't hold on any longer and entered the space with Tinghao. Just now, the Purple Elf used up a lot of energy to make us invisible and search for treasure."

"Otherwise, with my abilities, how could I possibly find so many treasures and keep them for myself!" Ruan Mumu said with a smile.

"You mean all that gold and silver treasure is yours?" Ruan Haohao asked in surprise.

“Yeah, otherwise do you think I would have moved it to my space?” Ruan Mumu said with a smug smile.

Her words stunned all three of them.

"Mom and Dad, brother, don't worry, those are all the emperor's things. I paid for them with money and effort. This is just the payment for the supplies we need," Ruan Mumu explained again.

Ruan Wanfu nodded in agreement: "Mumu is right. Our supplies are in high demand and difficult to sell there. Consider it as cost."

Everyone burst into laughter after hearing this.

After all, that's the truth; who would want to do a losing business?

Zhang Yufang didn't say anything more. She went to the kitchen, got a thermal lunchbox, and packed a meal.

"Mom, what are you doing?" Ruan Mumu asked curiously.

“Since Tinghao can’t come in for dinner, you can bring it for him. I guess you haven’t had a proper meal in a long time,” Ruan Wanfu chimed in.

Ruan Mumu didn't say anything more, and the family finished their meal together in a warm and cozy atmosphere.

"Brother, later you should choose seven items from those rare treasures and send them to Minister Wang at the Qiao family! We're grateful for his help, which is why we were able to conquer Xirong so quickly. Also, choose five more items to send to Tinghao's family, as a token of Tinghao's filial piety." Ruan Mumu and her family went up to the fifth floor again.

"Mumu, didn't Minister Wang say he only wanted six items? If we send too many of these priceless items, won't he have his eye on them?" Ruan Haohao asked.

As Ruan Mumu examined the various items, she said confidently, "He definitely wouldn't think that way. After all, if I have the ability to acquire these things, I certainly have the ability to protect them. Anyone who isn't stupid wouldn't do something like that."

Ruan Wanfu chimed in, "Mumu is right, a slow and steady friendship will last forever."

“Okay! Let’s pick some out quickly, and Mumu, you can go out and get back to your business,” Ruan Haohao said.

The group quickly selected twenty items and then left the space.
