At midnight, the gates of hell are wide open.

After placing the puppet doll on the bed, Shu Ran put on the "Thousand Faces" and changed into a white wide-sleeved casual dress.

With a pale face and blood-red lips, Shu Ran nodded in satisfaction at herself in the mirror. As expected of her, her face-pinching skills were perfect!

Taking out her hover skates, Shu Ran "floated" towards Qian Chengji's yard, maintaining a height of about one meter off the ground.

The hover shoes travel at a speed of 20 kilometers per hour, which is similar to the speed of an electric car, but they actually look quite realistic when they float.

I just happened to be passing by the small warehouse; it must be full again this time, right?

Unlock, collect the light—all done in one smooth motion!

Shu Ran, a "habitual offender," glanced at the large kitchen next to her, which was emitting a faint light, and hesitated.

If we don't accept it, wouldn't that be a waste?

Let's put it away. There are still lights on inside, so it looks like someone is guarding it.

Never mind, she just wanted to scare Qian Chengji, so she shouldn't scare innocent people.

Upon arriving at the main courtyard, Shu Ran extended her hand, whose long, slender nails had been dyed blood red, and pushed open the bedroom door.

With a creak, the door opened, and Shu Ran floated in slowly, about thirty centimeters off the ground. The dim moonlight illuminated the bed, which was empty!

Huh? Nobody's in the bedroom!

Miscalculation. That scumbag dad is probably fighting with his vixen concubine.

Never mind, since she's not there, she'll take care of something important first: find the land deeds and house deeds that Qian Chengji took from Shu Ying before.

It's not from Suzhou, but the old house passed down from the Shu family's maternal grandmother. It's a five-courtyard siheyuan with a garden, located in Weicheng, next to the capital!

When Shu Ying got married, it was given to her as part of her dowry. I don't know what kind of spell Qian Chengji cast on her, but one of them really dared to ask for it, and the other really dared to give it.

She quietly rummaged through boxes and cabinets, but couldn't find what she was looking for. Frustrated, Shu Ran cursed a couple of times.

Damn it, I hate people who are obsessed with love!

Even if we can't find it, we have to keep looking. Shu Ran promised Qian Duoduo that the items on the list are the most important, and we must find them all. No matter where they are, they can't be in Qian Chengji's hands.

Qian Duoduo didn't hate the third concubine who poisoned her this much; she only felt a slight hatred, maybe about 30%. The rest of her hatred was focused on Qian Chengji alone.

According to the list given by Qian Duoduo, they have retrieved the diary and dragon and phoenix gown from Shu Ying's courtyard, and retrieved the "Qing Nang Shu" and phoenix crown from the bank. The only thing missing is the Weicheng land deed and house deed, which can't be found anywhere.

If I really can't find it, I can only look through my diary for clues.

The diary says it was given to Qian Chengji two years ago, and Qian Chengji hasn't traveled far in the past two years, so it should still be in his possession! Why can't it be found?

Oh, and there's a secret room!

Shu Ran then remembered something, squatted down and pulled out the Qian family genealogy from the bottom shelf. With a soft click, the bookshelf rotated ninety degrees, revealing a secret room inside.

In the small room of less than ten square meters, one wall was lined with shelves, displaying wooden boxes of different sizes, all of which were open and revealing their contents.

In the middle were stacked wooden boxes, 3*4*3. With a wave of her hand, the boxes that took up space were put into her space. Shu Ran walked around, looking and collecting as she went. Even if she couldn't find the land deed or house deed, she couldn't leave empty-handed!

Luckily, in the middle of the innermost shelf, there were two stacks of contracts, one thick and one thin, the thinner one consisting of only a few sheets of paper.

Shu Ran's eyes lit up, and she picked up the few that were placed separately.

No. 169, Baimao Hutong, Liuan Street, Weicheng, covering an area of ​​6788.69 square meters, that's right, this is it.

The last thing was found, and Shu Ran had completed half of what she promised Qian Duoduo. The other half would have to wait, since she couldn't do it right now anyway.

As for revenge, Qian Duoduo didn't need it. He figured that ghosts would take care of that after people died, so he didn't ask Shu Ran to do anything.

Having received so much stuff and money, Shu Ran felt embarrassed to really do nothing. Since she had nothing more to offer, her courage was enough to allow her to act strangely, scare people, and make them lose money.

Leaving the empty secret room behind, Shu Ran reset the switch, and with a flick of her sleeve, she drifted away.

As I hurriedly left the main courtyard, I encountered a group of people patrolling with lanterns.

Shu Ran shook her head, tossed her hair forward, and sped away, disappearing around the corner.

The direction was still the same. Anyway, there were several courtyards in the direction she was heading back to, including the third concubine's courtyard and the courtyard where Shu Ying used to live, so she wasn't afraid of arousing suspicion.

"Brother, what was that white shadow just now? Did you see it?"

The man, dressed in shorts and carrying a lantern, spoke with a trembling voice.

It darted past in a flash, its head spinning once, its long, slender red fingernails gleaming eerily in the moonlight, drawing all attention.

"Nothing's wrong, you must be seeing things!"

The person being called "brother" strained to open his sleepy eyes, looked around but couldn't see anything.

"It's like a person, but it's especially like... a ghost~"

Grabbing the arm of the person next to him, the man in shorts was deathly pale. He had really seen it!

"You're really sleepy! There's nothing there, you're probably seeing things." The sleepy man didn't seem to care.

"Is that so?" That was the only way the lantern bearer could console himself. He was probably just too sleepy and his eyes were playing tricks on him.

She didn't realize that she had accidentally startled someone, and that they thought she was seeing things.

Shu Ran removed her disguise and retracted the puppet.

As instructed, the diary and the dragon and phoenix gown should be kept separately, to be burned later when there is time.

An empty box was placed together with the original copy of "Qing Nang Shu" and the phoenix crown.

These two items were specifically requested by Qian Duoduo to be handed over.

As for the land deeds and house deeds that were finally found, Qian Duoduo's requirements were quite outrageous. She wanted to have a child first, and if it was a girl, it would be passed on to her; if it wasn't a girl, it would be given to her granddaughter or great-granddaughter.

In any case, it has to be a girl with her bloodline.

That's outrageous!

It's too early to think about this now; let's worry about it later!

With her worries gone, Shu Ran went straight to sleep.

-

After spending some time with his third concubine, Qian Chengji played with his youngest son for a while before returning to his own courtyard.

Over the years, he would go to the backyard when he needed to take care of something, and live in the main courtyard when he didn't.

Aside from the cleaning staff, who were allowed into the bedroom, even Shu Ying hadn't been there much. This was mainly because Qian Chengji didn't want anyone to know about the secret room.

Pushing open the door, Qian Chengji carefully bolted it from the inside before heading to the secret room to admire his collection, as was his custom.

He skillfully opened the door, and the empty, secret room made Qian Chengji hardly believe his eyes.

fury!

Another period of chaos ensued, and the Qian family, which had barely had a few days of peace, was thrown into turmoil again.

Qian Chengji couldn't understand who was so capable as to steal from his house, even taking the cheap food from the kitchen.

The only saving grace was that the place where the family's real wealth was hidden was not looted and remained intact.
