Before confiscating their property, they emptied the imperial city and exiled them!

Lin Xiaoxiao sat on the roof of the Zhenguo Mansion, planning her route.

My first stop must be the Prime Minister's residence, the original owner's maternal family.

The original owner's scumbag father withheld a significant portion of the dowry left to her by her mother!

On the way to the Prime Minister's residence, Lin Xiaoxiao analyzed the original owner's life.

The original owner's father, Lin Ziqian, was a poor scholar who was supported by the original owner's mother's family to study when he was young.

He had finally achieved some success, but during a diplomatic mission, he met Qiao Siyan, who is now his second aunt.

However, this second concubine, Qiao Siyan, was indeed a princess of a fallen enemy country.

After Lin Ziqian brought the person back, all he did was condemn their relationship.

However, he used cutting his hair and fasting for three days to prove to the world the steadfastness of their love.

Later, he once again used his silver tongue to convince the world to accept their love.

From then on, the original owner's mother was like a joke in the Prime Minister's mansion.

Since his second concubine, Qiao Siyan, entered the mansion, Lin Ziqian has never entered the original owner's mother's room again.

According to Lin Ziqian, his relationship with the original owner's mother was only one of gratitude, and there was no romantic relationship between them.

He ensured that the original owner's mother remained firmly in the position of the mistress of the Prime Minister's mansion, which also brought him a good reputation throughout his life.

However, the people in the mansion never paid any attention to this mistress, and the original owner and her daughter could only get enough to eat in the mansion.

After the original owner's mother passed away, Lin Xiaoxiao became even less noticeable in the mansion.

Only now that he has the power to be used has this scumbag father become aware of his existence.

The book also states that her marriage to Song Wenjing was orchestrated by her father.

Because he married his daughter off to the mansion, and then stood up to testify against the Zhenguo Mansion for treason.

People will no longer think that it is the current emperor who is afraid that the Zhenguo Mansion is too powerful and therefore cannot tolerate them.

Moreover, this idea was suggested by the second concubine of the Prime Minister's mansion, in order to gain favor with the Emperor.

To find a way out for his daughter.

Otherwise, her status as a princess of a fallen kingdom would become a major obstacle for her daughter's future.

Upon arriving at the Prime Minister's residence, Lin Xiaoxiao looked down at the vast mansion.

He smirked coldly: Looks like I'll have to work overtime today!

Lin Xiaoxiao first went to Lin Ziqian's study. In the original owner's memory, there was a hidden door in Lin Ziqian's study.

I accidentally wandered in when I was a child, but I didn't tell anyone because I was afraid Lin Ziqian would scold me.

Lin Ziqian's study was very large, and Lin Xiaoxiao found the switch for the hidden door based on her memory.

It was an ordinary candlestick on the wall. Lin Xiaoxiao turned it around twice to the left and twice to the right.

The bookshelf next to them began to move slowly, revealing the world behind the hidden door.

Upon entering, I was immediately startled by what I saw inside.

The gleaming gold bars covered an entire wall.

Various antique paintings and calligraphy were also piled up on the wooden shelves to the side.

Lin Ziqian has always prided himself on being honest and upright, and during his many years in office, he dealt with a number of corrupt officials.

Now it seems that the biggest corrupt official in the capital is himself!

With a wave of her hand, Lin Xiaoxiao caused all the gold and silver jewelry in the room to vanish instantly.

Even the jewelry display shelf was put away by Lin Xiaoxiao.

After leaving the room, Lin Xiaoxiao also took away all the books and writing implements from the study.

Lin Xiaoxiao took everything that could be moved from the house.

After leaving the study, Lin Xiaoxiao hid herself in the darkness.

When they arrived at the Prime Minister's mansion's storeroom, although there wasn't as much gold and silver as in the secret room, Lin Xiaoxiao still didn't let it go.

The granary and the small kitchens in each courtyard were all emptied of rice, flour, and cooking oil.

Then there's the furnishings in each room: quilts, clothes, horses, and carriages.

Lin Xiaoxiao didn't even let go of the coal stored in the Prime Minister's residence for the winter.

Lin Xiaoxiao saw the inscription plaque that Lin Ziqian personally wrote for her second aunt's courtyard and also received it in her space.

When it gets cold, it can be used as firewood.

While Lin Ziqian was fast asleep, he suddenly felt the ground beneath him give way, and he fell to the floor.

Lin Wanwan's mother, Qiao Siyan, was also awakened by the shock.

When they opened their eyes, they were already asleep on the floor.

The bed and the blanket I had just covered myself with were all gone.

Not only that, the wardrobe, chaise lounge, and all kinds of tables and chairs in the room have all disappeared.

The room became empty.

"Master, what's going on?"

Qiao Siyan hid in Lin Ziqian's arms in fear.

Lin Ziqian had experienced many situations, but when had he ever seen anything like this?

They were so frightened they stood there stunned.

Then the noise outside reached Lin Ziqian's ears.

He hurriedly pushed Qiao aside and rushed towards the door.

Even though there wasn't a single candlestick left in the room, he didn't need to worry about not being able to see the way.

Because nothing could trip him up anymore.

There's no need to push the door, because the windows and doors have all disappeared.

As soon as I walked out, I was met by the butler running towards me in a panic.

"Master, something terrible has happened! The manor has been burgled."

Lin Ziqian gritted his teeth and said, "I can see it!"

The entire Prime Minister's residence is now completely bare; even the artificial hill in the courtyard has vanished.

It was practically a huge, unfinished house.

The butler stood anxiously by his side, asking, "What do we do now?!"

"Do I need to teach you this? Investigate it for me, report it to the authorities, and bring all the people from the Dali Temple to me."

Lin Ziqian's eyes were bloodshot, and he was trembling with anger.

Such a big move suggests that the other party has been watching their Prime Minister's residence for quite some time.

Once he catches the person, he will grind him to dust to vent his anger.

Lin Xiaoxiao, who had already left on a whim, suddenly sneezed.

He hurriedly took out the yellow jacket he had just received at the Prime Minister's residence and put it on.

After walking for a while, I realized it wasn't warm enough, so I took it off and threw it away.

It fell right into the pigpen next to us, covering the sleeping domestic pig.

After being woken up, the domestic pig shook itself and stepped in its own droppings.

Next up was Lin Wanwan's second suitor, Chu Youze, the tenth prince of the Tianqi Dynasty.

Chu Junze's supporters.

I still have some personal grudges to settle with him!

However, after arriving at the Tenth Prince's residence and searching it thoroughly, they still couldn't find him.

It seems we'll have to settle our scores later.

Next, Lin Xiaoxiao went to the mansion of Chu Junze, the male protagonist in the book.

Unlike the Prime Minister's residence, the Third Prince's mansion was exceptionally luxurious, with its brightly lit buildings visible from afar, which was quite impressive.

This also shows how much he was favored.

Time was of the essence, and Lin Xiaoxiao had no time to appreciate the sights; she immediately began a frantic search.

The male and female protagonists, relying on the original owner's infatuation with the third prince, often use the original owner as a cover to hide their secret rendezvous.

This resulted in the original owner's reputation being ruined, with nothing good and nothing bad.

Now that I've ransacked the male lead's mansion, consider it compensation!
