Chapter 191 A treasure obtained through embezzlement?
Reading Settings
What are you trying to do?
When the Qin family saw many soldiers rushing into the Qin mansion like bandits, they were all terrified and shouted in panic.
"Your Highness, please save us! Your cousin is dead, what are they doing here?"
In a panic, the Qin family had no choice but to ask Princess Cheng for help.
Seeing the pitiful state of the Qin family, Princess Cheng felt a surge of righteousness and immediately rushed angrily to Xiao Ye and Su Liluo.
"Your Highness! You've already killed my cousin! Isn't that enough? What other ways do you want to settle your personal scores? Now my aunt's family is reduced to just the elderly, women, and children. You won't even spare them. Are you even human?"
Princess Cheng didn't dare to argue with Xiao Ye, so she went up and yelled at Su Liluo.
Su Liluo looked at Princess Cheng with sarcasm, "You are so devoted to your cousin, but do you know that your cousin once falsely accused him of embezzling money on the orders of Prince Cheng?"
"If it weren't for my lord believing in Prince Cheng and uncovering the truth, it would be you, Princess Cheng, who would be imprisoned now!"
"What did you say?"
Princess Cheng's imposing aura vanished instantly, and she looked at Su Liluo in disbelief.
Ever since the last time Prince Cheng hit her, she had been throwing a tantrum at him after returning home, so he hadn't told her about it.
She still doesn't know the reason.
"I told you your dear cousin tried to frame your husband, and you almost had your home ransacked!"
Su Liluo slowed her speech and said sarcastically.
"No! You're lying, my cousin couldn't possibly do that! He's been framed, don't try to sow discord here!"
Princess Cheng still chose not to believe it.
Su Liluo didn't bother arguing with her, and simply said coldly, "Guards, take Princess Cheng back to Prince Cheng's residence and let Prince Cheng teach her a lesson!"
So, despite Princess Cheng's resistance, several guards forcibly took her away.
The remaining women and children of the Qin family were already terrified and huddled to the side, not daring to utter a sound.
Xiao Ye's guards quickly searched the Qin residence thoroughly, but still found nothing.
Su Liluo found it extremely strange. How did they find Qin Wu's assets from his previous life?
So, Su Liluo, along with some guards, reluctantly went to the Qin family's storeroom to inspect it.
The Qin family's storeroom was already empty. The 200,000 taels that had been found earlier had been taken away by Xiao Ye's men, leaving only the storeroom for the women of the Qin family.
However, the women's storeroom contained the dowries of the women. Su Liluo inspected the empty Qin family storeroom but found nothing, so she went to the storeroom where the women's dowries were stored.
"These are all our dowry. Do you, Crown Princess, intend to take them away and disguise them as stolen money?"
Although Lady Qin and her daughter-in-law were afraid, they still stayed in front of their dowry storeroom.
Now that Qin Wu is dead, his grandson is still young, and the Qin family's 200,000 taels of silver have been taken away, all they have left is this dowry.
"Don't worry, I'm just going in to take a look. I didn't say I was going to take anything with me!"
Su Liluo said calmly.
Then he had someone open the door and went inside.
The warehouse was filled with a dazzling array of items, including gold, silver, jewelry, ceramics, jade, and boxes of silver and banknotes.
This shows that the dowries of the women in the Qin family were quite generous.
Madam Qin and her daughter-in-law stared intently at Su Liluo. If looks could kill, Su Liluo would have been pierced by a thousand arrows long ago.
Su Liluo checked everything slowly and deliberately, sometimes even touching the dowry items.
Just as she crouched down and reached out to examine the box of agate pearls inside the sandalwood box, she suddenly heard a gasp of surprise from the spirit within her consciousness.
"Wow! There's treasure down there! Quick, move that box!"
Treasure?
Su Liluo frowned, remaining silent as she looked suspiciously at the box filled with jewelry.
What does "spirit of a weapon" mean?
Is there treasure below?
Could it be...?
"Someone, move this box away."
Su Lilu gave the order in a cold voice.
A guard came over and moved the box aside, revealing the dusty floor underneath.
Where is the treasure?
Su Liluo used her consciousness to ask the artifact spirit.
"It's right below here, just lift up this floorboard."
The spirit said with delight.
Besides its sensitivity to medical skills, it had never told Su Liluo before that it was also a treasure-hunting and detection artifact!
The moment Su Liluo squatted down, it sensed the strong aura of wealth below.
Below it?
Su Liluo frowned again. Below was a smooth, sealed floor with no signs of being pried open or any switches. Could there be treasure down there?
What treasure?
Is it a treasure trove embezzled?
Despite her doubts, she instinctively reached out and touched the ground.
Suddenly, when her hand touched the center of the ground, the spirit cried out again.
"Quickly, press down hard! Use all your strength to press down!"
Su Liluo then pressed down hard on it as the spirit of the artifact had instructed.
Her fingers suddenly felt the floor move. The switch was ready to activate at a touch. After Su Liluo pressed it with all her might, the entire square floor in front of her collapsed.
"this......."
Not only Su Liluo, but even the guards who came with her stared wide-eyed in disbelief at the scene before them.
After the floor collapsed, a basement was clearly visible below, and a staircase slowly formed from the collapsed floor.
