With a cheat code, she travels through the 40s and hoards goods to take her motherland to new height

After taking back the puppet doll, Shu Ran changed back into her own clothes, closed the window, and tidied up the things she had just withdrawn from the bank on the chaise lounge.

I didn't have time to check the contents of the box before because I was outside, but now I finally have the time.

She leaned back lazily on the tatami mat, not even looking at the contents of the box. Just by looking at the wooden box, she knew it was valuable. The shiny black box in her hand felt quite heavy, and based on her limited knowledge of wood, it was probably made of ebony.

The box was carefully lined with a layer of black velvet, and rings of various materials and styles were densely packed inside.

This box is full of rings.

Shu Ran examined each wooden box one by one, looking at hairpins, necklaces, earrings, gold and jade bracelets... Each wooden box contained a type of jewelry, and the velvet pouches in the corners were equally impressive, containing three pouches of various diamonds, none of them small in carat weight.

These are the contents of safe number 609. It was a gift carefully prepared by a mother for her daughter, but unfortunately, it ended up in the hands of a scumbag.

But now that it's in her hands, it's hers. As for her scumbag father, let him do whatever he wants!

Take out the box from safe number 778. This is the most important thing, and it's what the scumbag father has been racking his brains to get. Although the items in safe number 609 were valuable, they are not hard to buy if you have money.

With a "click," the box opened, revealing five tightly packed boxes inside.

Looking at the flat wooden box, Shu Ran subconsciously held her breath.

The Book of Green Bags

Although it's a bit damaged, it really is it!

The first part was relatively intact, but the last dozen or so pages were damaged and illegible, as if they had been through some kind of accident. In particular, only a few words could be barely recognized on the last few pages.

It's already quite good; at least it hasn't been completely lost!

Shu Ran carefully put the schoolbag back, and her rapidly beating heartbeat began to calm down.

This book has quite a history. It was a family heirloom that her maternal grandmother moved when the family graves were relocated in her early years. When it came to light, it was a time of chaos. The cultural relics of the Forbidden City were being moved all over the country, and the Little Life was also watching from the sidelines. So she simply hid it away and pretended it didn't exist.

After calming herself down, Shu Ran quickly checked the remaining four wooden boxes.

A set of filigree and gemstone-inlaid headdress, along with a gold-threaded kingfisher feather and gemstone-inlaid phoenix crown, must have come from the palace. The craftsmanship is exquisite and intricate. Although it is somewhat dark, it does not detract from its beauty at all.

A set of imperial green jadeite jewelry and a set of top-grade Hetian jade zodiac animal figurines, which should all be from the same material, are absolutely stunning.

A box of pre-cut gemstones, diamonds, and other jewelry in various colors, without any inlays.

A box of small yellow croakers.

After carefully placing everything in a corner of the space, Shu Ran took a sip of the now-cold tea, breathed a long sigh of relief, and finally completed the task. How satisfying!

This time, the "Qing Nang Shu" will finally not be lost!

Holding a long-lost ancient book, a masterpiece by the famous ancient physician Hua Tuo, Shu Ran was extremely happy.

Before I could be happy for long, I heard someone come in from outside.

Shu Ran quickly got up and sat down at her desk.

"Miss, the Second Miss has come to see you!"

Cuizhi relayed the message through the door.

Clearing her throat, Shu Ran said, "Please come in, Second Sister!"

"Third sister, I'm bothering you again! I heard that Dad called a doctor a few days ago. Is he feeling any better?" Qian Xinyi asked with concern, her eyes scanning the study, sparkling as if she had her eye on something again.

"This isn't good!" Shu Ran said with a bitter face. "Ever since Dr. Thomson came to see me, I haven't dreamed about my mother anymore. I don't like this."

Qian Xinyi's smile froze, and the exquisite study in her eyes instantly turned sinister: "Sister is joking. We should look forward. The dead cannot be brought back to life. Don't dwell too much on the past."

"When I dream about her, I always feel like my mother is still by my side. Oh well, I shouldn't disturb her reincarnation. I'll get used to it in a few days."

Shu Ran smiled and took Qian Xinyi's hand: "These days, besides Father, only Second Sister has come to see me. I remember it in my heart."

The cold fingers sent chills down Qian Xinyi's spine, and she instinctively tried to pull her hand back, but she managed to restrain herself. She even patted Shu Ran's hand and said, "Everyone is actually very concerned about Third Sister, but they're afraid you'll be too upset and don't want to disturb your recovery. It's just that I'm the only one who's shamelessly come to see you."

After chatting for a while longer, Qian Xinyi's face grew paler. She seemed to have thought of something and couldn't stand it any longer. She said, "Sister, here you go. This is a peace charm that my mother and I specially went to Puyun Temple to have blessed for you. We hope it will protect you and keep you safe and healthy."

An exquisitely crafted lucky bag lay quietly inside a silk handkerchief and was handed to Shu Ran.

"Thank you, Second Sister, you're so kind!" Shu Ran took the handkerchief along with the handkerchief, but didn't put it on. She just held it in her hand as if she was reluctant to put it down.

"Keep this close to your body. Oh, and there's a safety charm inside; it can't get wet."

Seemingly worried, Qian Xinyi gave a few more instructions before leaving in a hurry.

Why did they come? Shu Ran was completely baffled. Surely they couldn't have come to sincerely wish her well! She wasn't stupid!

Based on her years of experience reading novels, she knew there must be something strange about this amulet.

Wrap it in a handkerchief, then add several more layers of paper to tightly wrap it up, and set it aside separately.

-

"How is it? Has the item been delivered? Has she put it on?" Third Concubine Sheng Ru asked anxiously, grabbing Qian Xinyi's arm.

"Don't worry, she accepted it. She seems to really like it; she's almost moved to tears."

Qian Xinyi pouted, but seeing the fresh mung bean cakes on the table, she felt a little tempted and reached out to pick up a piece and put it in her mouth.

The third concubine's pupils contracted, and she took two steps forward, slapping the mung bean cake out of Qian Xinyi's hand.

Qian Xinyi said with a hint of grievance, "Mom~ I haven't eaten much pastry today!"

Third Auntie realized her reaction was a bit too much and quickly found a reasonable excuse for herself: "It's not that Mom is controlling your diet, you just came back from Qian Duoduo's place and haven't washed your hands yet. Who knows what germs you might have picked up. Let's wash our hands before we eat. Mom won't control your portion sizes today."

Thinking of something, Qian Xinyi also felt uneasy all over, and was really afraid that something was following her. She rushed back to her room to take a shower and change her clothes.

Shu Ran's guess was correct; the amulet was soaked in medicine, which would poison people, causing them to slowly weaken until they died.

In her previous life, Qian Duoduo didn't faint, so she didn't encounter the meager meals that Qian Chengji ate, and the small kitchen was never reused.

The food and medicine were all from the main kitchen, which made it easier for the third concubine to prepare them, and there was no need to go through the trouble of sending any "death warrants".
