After seeing Qin Shu off, Liu Yinghua hummed the opera she had just learned in a sloppy voice and returned to Xifu with a happy face.

As soon as he entered the room, he sent all the maids serving in the room out.

Qin Jingchang was holding a cup of tea, sipping it happily.

Seeing her enter with a rosy face, Qin Jingchang asked, "Are you leaving?"

Liu Yinghua was so happy that her tone changed, "Gone! We finally got rid of that plague god."

She smiled with a face full of chrysanthemums, pretending to be shy, blushing and looking at Qin Jingchang sideways, "Master, what about us?"

Qin Jingchang smiled knowingly, put down the teacup, shook his sleeves and stood up.

Although his face was stern, he couldn't hide the smile in his eyes, "Let's go to the East Palace to take a look."

"Hey, wait a minute!" Liu Yinghua imitated the actresses on the stage, raising her fingers like a rose and taking small steps, and took out a bunch of keys from the cabinet in the inner room.

He walked out with shining eyes and waved proudly at Qin Jingchang.

Qin Jingchang pretended not to know and asked, "What is this?"

"The key to the dead girl's dowry storehouse."

Liu Yinghua said proudly: "When I asked Xiaotao to get the key to open the storehouse, I asked the locksmith to make a key for me, just for future use. Later, when that damn girl checked the dowry, I added another lock to the storehouse."

She snorted, raised her chin and said, "Does that damn girl think she's safe like this? She didn't even think about it. How could I not leave a key as a backup?"

Qin Jingchang shook his shoulders and chuckled.

Liu Yinghua winked at Qin Jingchang and said with a smile, "Master, shall we go?"

Qin Jingchang coughed hard, raised his head high, and said, "Let's go!"

The couple went out of the door one after the other, and at first they walked slowly and cautiously.

After leaving the West Palace and entering the small corner gate of the East Palace, the urgent feeling could no longer be suppressed.

The two of them chased each other and quickly crossed the main courtyard and entered the garden.

As soon as they reached the door of the warehouse, the two big brothers of the Cao Gang who were guarding the door stood up and greeted them, "Hey, isn't this the Second Master Qin and the Second Madam Qin from the West Mansion?"

Another elder brother laughed and said, "Look at you two, your faces are flushed and your steps are hurried. Are you in a hurry to go to the feast?"

It was like a bucket of cold water poured over their heads, and the excited hearts of Qin Jingchang and the other man immediately cooled down.

That damn girl went to Pudu Temple and didn't even let the Cao Gang members leave?

How can they open the warehouse like this? !

It's really a pity to hear crows cawing during the wedding ceremony!

Liu Yinghua's face fell for a moment, then she immediately put on a polite smile.

The two expressions switched naturally in the blink of an eye, so quickly that the two big brothers of the Cao Gang almost doubted their own eyes.

Liu Yinghua coughed lightly and said, "My niece went to the Pudu Temple to pray for her parents. She was in such a hurry when she left that she forgot to take her belongings and sent someone back with a letter. I came with her second uncle to check on her and help her pack up."

The eldest brother of the Cao Gang let out a long "Oh", "So that's how it is."

You went to Miss Qin's room to pack your things, and packed them to the warehouse in the back?

Liu Yinghua's facial muscles twitched, and she said with a forced smile, "That's right. This child is young, but he forgets a lot. It's really worrying that there's no one watching him."

The Cao Gang leader hissed and asked, "You just said that Miss Qin went to Pudu Temple?"

Liu Yinghua was confused and nodded, "Yes, you two, don't you know?"

"Miss Qin didn't tell us."

The eldest brother of the Cao Gang winked at his companions and said, "Since Miss Qin is not in the mansion anymore, should we still guard this warehouse?"

Just as Liu Yinghua was about to speak, she heard Qin Jingchang cough loudly and quickly closed her mouth.

Qin Jingchang stepped forward and said slowly in a pretentious tone: "These days, you knights have really worked hard. My niece has been spoiled and has no manners at all. You knights worked hard to guard the warehouse for her, but before leaving, you even forgot to arrange things for you knights."

Liu Yinghua was startled, then smiled and continued, "Yes. Yesterday, my niece told me that she would ask the shopkeeper of Wanzhenlou to settle the bill today. I thought the knights had all left. If I had known that they were still here, I would never have let the accountant settle the bill."

The eldest brother of the Cao Gang suddenly realized, "So that's how it is. No wonder the wine and food from Wanzhenlou haven't been delivered yet at this hour."

In fact, it had already been delivered, but was intercepted by Qin Jingchang.

Another elder brother then asked, "What should we do? Continue to wait for the young lady to come back, or go back to the Cao Gang?"

"The gang leader told us to follow the eldest lady's arrangements. Since the second wife said that the eldest lady asked Wanzhenlou to settle the bill, does that mean the eldest lady doesn't need us to guard the warehouse anymore?"

"Then let's go back to the Cao Gang and report to the leader?"

The two of them were talking animatedly to each other, and it seemed like a long time before they remembered that there were two people watching.

One of the elder brothers asked, "Didn't the second wife say she was going to pack things for the eldest lady? Why hasn't she gone yet?"

Liu Yinghua had no choice but to pull Qin Jingchang's sleeve and said, "I'll go right away, I'll go right away."

The two of them walked along the corridor, one in front and one behind, towards Qin Shu's room.

Just after turning around the flower wall, Liu Yinghua suddenly pulled Qin Jingchang's sleeve, dodged to the corner, stretched her neck and looked back.

The two people in front of the warehouse discussed with each other head to head, and then walked towards their residence northwest of the warehouse.

Qin Jingchang whispered in Liu Yinghua's ear, "Let's go to that damn girl's room first."

Liu Yinghua winked and whispered, "There are two little girls watching the yard."

While the two were talking, the Cao Gang members had already left the house and left quickly.

Liu Yinghua was so happy that her eyes were wide with smile. She turned around and pulled Qin Jingchang's sleeve hard, lowering her voice and screaming, "Let's go, let's go!"

After all the members of the Cao Gang had left the mansion, Qin Jingchang and Liu Yinghua came out from the corner.

The two men were in a hurry and ran to the door of the warehouse at a brisk pace.

Liu Yinghua was so excited that her hands were shaking slightly as she unlocked the door.

As the warehouse lock was opened, the heavy warehouse door was slowly pushed open.

Rows of brocade boxes suddenly appeared in front of Qin Jingchang and his wife.

Liu Yinghua grinned so hard that her teeth were showing. She quickly pounced on it and opened one of the brocade boxes.

Inside the box was a glittering, exquisitely crafted gemstone headpiece.

Liu Yinghua resisted the urge to drool and looked at each brocade box with trembling hands.

Gems, kingfisher feathers, gold hairpins, jade hairpins, and various jade bracelets...

He even opened the box of Dongzhu and took a look at it.

A box full of Dongzhu pearls, each as big as an egg, each one is worth dozens of taels of silver!

There is also a gilded box on the treasure shelf.

Liu Yinghua raised her hand and fiddled with the small copper lock on the box, and whispered in a trembling voice: "This must be the three hundred thousand taels of silver!"

Qin Jingchang nodded excitedly.

Liu Yinghua suddenly felt satisfied!

She stood in the warehouse with a proud look on her face. Everywhere she looked, these treasures were hers!

This feeling of wealth and luxury that even the air is filled with is really intoxicating!

Qin Jingchang suddenly lowered his voice and said to Liu Yinghua: "Do you still remember the person I told you about?"
