Ancestors, I told you to seduce the villains, not to turn evil.

Xu Manman felt that Li Wu's visit was not just to frame Fei Huainan, but probably had other purposes.

Could it be for the jade pendant?

Xu Manman had a flash of inspiration.

Li Meng repeatedly tried to obtain the jade pendant, even going so far as to forge a letter of denunciation, clearly indicating that she knew the jade pendant was special.

The Li family has lived in the village for generations and has never left. How did Li Meng know about the special features of the jade pendant?

Moreover, something was off about Li Meng. Fei Huainan's jade pendant had always been hidden at home, and the original owner of the body had never seen it, even though she lived in the same courtyard as Fei Huainan.

How was the jade pendant discovered later?

It was Li Meng who subtly inquired, and the original owner took it to heart, often secretly observing Fei Huainan, which is why she glanced at him.

Li Meng shouldn't have seen the jade pendant, yet she knew of its existence. Could it be that she was reborn?

No, Li Meng was also very curious about the jade pendant. If she were reborn, she wouldn't need to be curious or inquire about it at all.

Li Meng probably knew that the jade pendant was special, but she didn't know why it was special!

The Li family are nothing but robbers; Fei Huainan is truly pitiful.

Because the family heirloom was targeted, he met such a tragic end in the dream.

If Li Wu is after the jade pendant, he will definitely want to search the Fei family again.

Xu Manman was speechless.

Fei Huainan remained calm. He quickly checked the doors and windows but found no traces.

When I left, the door was locked, and there were no signs of forced entry, so it wasn't a locked room.

The Fei family didn't have many houses; besides the three locked rooms, there was only a storage room and a cellar.

Fei Huainan took out a flashlight from the room and looked around the storage room, but found no trace.

Finally, the two went down into the cellar. As soon as Fei Huainan entered, he discovered the traces.

The faint black mark is not easy to spot unless you look closely.

After all, the cellar was dark, and no one would be looking down at their feet when they came down.

Fei Huainan, due to his special profession, underwent even more thorough inspections.

Someone has been to the cellar.

The two men got restless in the cellar and eventually found a wooden box in the innermost corner.

Judging from its color, it is sandalwood, and it even has a faint fragrance.

Without delay, Xu Manman left with the box, while Fei Huainan left behind traces of his actions.

Return to the house.

Xu Manman opened the box and was stunned by what she saw inside.

A pair of imperial green jadeite bracelets, a gold necklace, a gold-inlaid jade pendant, a pair of gold-inlaid jade earrings, and a jadeite ring.

Judging from the quality, they are all top-notch products, and the craftsmanship is definitely at the master level.

Xu Manman's eyes lit up.

"This Li Wu is really ruthless. If these things are found, he will definitely be criticized and struggled against."

Fei Huainan's grandfather was a landlord, but he later became addicted to gambling and lost everything.

It is said that even a starved camel is bigger than a horse. Back then, the Fei family's property was also confiscated.

After searching for a long time, not a single copper coin was found, and the searchers reluctantly concluded that the person was poor.

The landlords haven't been removed from their posts yet, and if these things are found out, the crime of concealing them is very serious.

"They've gone to great lengths to deal with you."

The materials and craftsmanship are top-notch; in a few decades, it will be worth at least seven figures.

Looking at these things, Fei Huainan suddenly spoke up: "They really went all out. These are all things from the Fei family's past, but my grandfather gambled them all away."

Xu Manman glanced at the jewelry in her hand, never expecting that such a simple frame-up was not so simple.

This jewelry was gambled away twenty years ago, and Li Wu can still find it. Either someone is helping Li Wu harm Fei Huainan, or someone behind Li Wu wants to harm Fei Huainan.

Things are in trouble.

What should we do with these things?

As soon as Xu Manman finished speaking, Fei Huainan's expression changed.

"It's too late, Li Wu has arrived with his men."

As soon as Fei Huainan finished speaking, a noisy commotion arose in the courtyard.

Xu Manman looked at the box, her eyes filled with conflict.

She could store the box in her spatial storage, ensuring no one could find it, but that would expose the spatial storage.

Fei Huainan was straightforward: "These things belong to the Fei family and have nothing to do with you. When they ask you, just pin the blame on me."

Xu Manman, holding the box, said, "Isn't this a bad idea?"

Fei Huainan looked apologetic: "I've dragged you into this. Besides, Li Wu was originally after me."

“I’ll go out and stall them. You put the box under the bed. If they ask you anything, just say you don’t know.”

Before Li Wu entered the house, Fei Huainan went out and looked at the people in the courtyard. He pretended to be lame.

"what's up?"

Xu Manman glanced at the box in her hand, and with a thought, the box entered her spatial dimension.

So be it! This was originally something the Fei family ancestor asked for for Fei Huainan.

After Xu Manman put the box away, she thought about how much grain she still had at home, and she couldn't explain where that grain came from.

Trouble.

Xu Manman pushed open the door and went out, then rushed into the storage room.

Her space is only ten square meters, and it's already full.

It was full of things she had smuggled in, mostly firewood.

Xu Manman threw out all the firewood and some wild fruits, but left the eggs and meat in the space.

This freed up more than half of the space.

Xu Manman directly stored the grain into her spatial dimension.

These things far exceeded the capacity of ten square meters, so Xu Manman could only squeeze them in as much as she could.

There was probably no more room. Xu Manman's head was throbbing with pain. She frowned and tried harder to push it in.

The next moment, everything went black before her eyes, and the ten-square-meter space instantly became one hundred square meters.

Xu Manman: "..."

Happiness came somewhat suddenly; the space suddenly increased tenfold, and the originally crowded place instantly became spacious.

Just then, someone pushed the door open and came in: "What are you doing?"

The militiamen looked around the woodshed, suspecting that Xu Manman was destroying evidence.

Xu Manman was carrying a bundle of firewood. Seeing the red armband on the other person's sleeve, she looked puzzled and said, "You're using firewood to cook!"

The woman in the red armband gave Xu Manman a wary look and snorted coldly, "With such a big thing happening in your family, you still have the mood to cook?"

Xu Manman had already hidden away anything that shouldn't have been there, and was full of confidence.

Upon seeing the red armband, he showed no fear whatsoever: "Something's happened. Could it be that my house has been reported again? Anyway, whenever we run into the Li family, our house gets searched."

"I wonder what the Li family is looking for in my house. They've searched it so many times, haven't they found anything yet?"

The militiaman choked for a moment, then thought about it carefully and realized that it was indeed true.

Could it be that they really created all this trouble on purpose in order to find something?

The brigade leader's nephew, Li Botao, was the militia captain, but the militiamen were all from the village.

Everyone had heard about the feud between the Li family and the Fei family; it was all the Li family deliberately picking a fight.

Xu Manman's words were truly irrefutable.

However, this time it wasn't the Li family that reported Fei Huainan.

"The one who reported your family is Wu Laizi. He saw that Fei Huainan was hiding contraband, so we have to check him out."
