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

The second and fifth concubines' courtyards were next to each other, but Shu Ran hadn't really been there much.

After wrapping the small yellow croaker and placing it beside the second concubine's pillow, Shu Ran stopped in her tracks just as she was about to leave.

No, she had to leave a note to explain. If they misunderstood and thought it was Qian Chengji who left it for them, she would feel really wronged.

In a few quick sentences, Shu Ran explained the situation clearly, specifically noting that Qian Chengji had absconded with the family fortune along with his third concubine and others. She then added a sentence at the very bottom.

Even thieves have their code of honor. I, Zhang San, can't stand hypocrites who abandon their wives and daughters, so I left a note explaining the situation.

After typing, Shu Ran nodded in satisfaction and printed five copies of the note.

One for each person, and she kept one for herself as well.

The same operation was repeated three times, without touching either of their belongings. Over the years, they should have accumulated quite a bit of wealth. Adding the small yellow fish she left behind, starting over in a new place would be enough for them to live comfortably for the rest of their lives.

Shu Ran returned to her courtyard, and as soon as she entered her bedroom, she saw that the puppet was displaying a simulated state—poisoned.

This is outrageous! Who the hell is doing this again?! Let her cause all the trouble!

The puppet was retrieved, and its built-in monitoring system was checked.

As expected, for some reason, the third concubine, who wanted Qian Duoduo dead, deliberately administered a strong drug before leaving.

No wonder we're family!

Qian Chengji, Sheng Ru, and Qian Xinyi, well done!

Shu Ran laughed in exasperation.

Fortunately, the puppet was just an anthropomorphic shape, not a real person, and it couldn't be poisoned. It was just simulating the human body. She almost lost a useful clone.

The points she spent back then were really worth it; if it weren't for the purchase limit, Shu Ran would have loved to buy another one.

Not only can it act as a stand-in to cover her actions, but it can also withstand one fatal blow. And the latest discovery is that it can even be used to test for poison!

So useful!

The puppet was put away, and Shu Ran stared speechlessly at the messy bedroom for a long time.

As dawn breaks, the effects of the medicine should be wearing off soon.

Reviewing her memories, Shu Ran looked for anything she had overlooked and remembered something she had almost forgotten—the treasure that her grandfather, Qian Huaizhang, had buried with little Qian Duoduo when he was still alive.

The small wooden box was filled with written documents proving that Qian Chengji had provided financial and material support to the Hongpai faction.

This is just one part; a small portion is still in Qian Chengji's hands.

The three dogs, having returned from their wanderings, habitually ran back to the study, but didn't see the familiar cushion.

Following the scent, they found Shu Ran, who was hiding under the ginkgo tree.

The cat opens its mouth three times, which means "meow meow meow meow~"

Lost in memories, reminiscing about how only Grandpa Qian Huaizhang, the patriarch of the Qian family, was a good person, I heard a cat meowing and cursing.

Three cat heads gradually emerged from his subordinates.

With the invisibility cloaks concealing them, from a distance they looked like three headless cats wandering aimlessly under the ginkgo tree.

"I was wondering why I felt like I'd forgotten something. Oh, it's you three!"

Shu Ran took out the dried fish she had traded with the gourmet and fed it to the three cats, coaxing them, "Want to leave here with me? Dried fish, canned food, and cat treats are all you can eat!"

It's called dried fish, but it's actually quite big; it's half the length of Shu Ran's hand.

But according to food critics, for such small dried fish, her family member, Lamia, would need to eat at least ten pounds in one meal to barely feel full.

Shu Ran traded over a thousand catties, which was more than enough for the kittens to eat, let alone for herself.

"Meow~"

After enjoying the meal, Sanhua placed her paws on Shuran, though it was unclear whether she understood what she was saying.

"Alright, then I'll take that as your agreement, Empress Sanhua. I'll also be taking your two concubines with me!"

Shu Ran grabbed the three flowers' paws and shook them, then put all three into her backpack.

Shu Ran had this idea after discovering that backpack space could hold living beings and maintain their life characteristics.

Back in her bedroom, Shu Ran lay on the bed, quietly waiting for someone from the Qian family to wake up.

To go all out, Shu Ran also placed a small yellow croaker and a note next to her pillow.

She barely slept all night, and in her drowsy state, Shu Ran almost fell asleep.

"Miss, Miss, wake up..."

Hearing Cuizhi's call, Shuran opened her sleepy eyes; she was really tired!

"what happened?"

"Something terrible has happened! The manor is in chaos! Master and Madam are both missing! Please get up and take a look!"

Cuizhi was woken up by the chaotic noise outside. After going out to find out what was going on, she rushed to Shuran's place.

In the blink of an eye, I saw the note that Shu Ran had specially left next to my pillow.

Shu Ran also pretended to be surprised and turned her head to look.

Cuizhi knows a few characters, which was taught to her by her older sister Cuixiu over the years she has been with the Qian family.

Still a bit drowsy, Shu Ran was so sleepy she could barely keep her eyes open. Accustomed to a regular schedule, this sudden all-nighter with barely any rest made her genuinely exhausted.

After quickly reading the message, Cuizhi's face turned pale: "It's terrible! The master, the old lady, the third concubine, the second young lady, and the young masters have all left us behind and run away."

"Last month's wages haven't been paid yet!"

Cuizhi muttered to herself, but then she thought that even if she sent it, it wouldn't reach her hands, and she immediately calmed down.

"what!"

Shu Ran gave a little performance, fully expressing her ignorance.

"Pack your things and you should leave too!"

Shu Ran got up and started changing her clothes, and then began packing her belongings in the bedroom.

"Miss, and you?"

Cuizhi didn't move. Although she loved money, well, the young lady was rich. The tips she received recently were more than she had earned in the previous few years combined.

"Me?" Shu Ran thought for a moment, her hands still busy packing. "I'm going to find my uncle."

He glanced back at Cuizhi and said, "Aren't you going to check the front yard? Otherwise, everything will be taken away. Let's make it clear first, I'll take the things from my yard first, and if you want anything, go find it in another yard."

Shu Ran had searched the entire Qian family compound, but there were indeed many things that hadn't been touched.

If she collected them all, they would take up too much space; there was no need. She only collected the valuable items and the ones she liked.

Cuizhi snapped out of her daze and hurriedly ran outside, not forgetting to turn back and thank her: "Thank you for reminding me, Miss! I'll go check on Third Concubine's courtyard."

Seeing that the person had left, Shu Ran stopped tidying up and swept away all the smaller items with a wave of her hand.

The furniture hadn't been moved much, but it couldn't just be left there. It was all made of good wood, and she planned to put it away after everyone in the yard had left.

I was a little hungry, but I had been busy for most of the night and hadn't thought about eating.

Shu Ran took out a boxed lunch and placed it on the emptied dressing table along with the odor absorber.

"Fragrant~"

To reward herself for a busy night, Shu Ran specially chose the deluxe version of the boxed lunch.

This amount is enough for her to eat for a day.

The packaging is a whole new level, twice the size of the regular version, and the scent is much more enticing.

It still consists of four dishes, one soup, and one staple food, accompanied by dessert, fruit, and a pot of drinks.
