RWNEFE -Chapter 46 Quietly Achieving Great Deeds!

Shen Lanxi began her sweep from the backyard, clearing everything piece by piece. Anything usable was taken, and all valuables were gone without a trace.

Adhering to the principle of leaving not even a ball of thread or a needle behind, Shen Lanxi collected everything in a grand haul!

“Master, there’s a hidden door in the study, filled with gold and treasures!”

Accepted with a smile!

“Master, there are two treasure boxes on the beams!”

“Master, there’s a hidden compartment behind the dressing table!”

“Master, that room has a lot of gold and silver!”

All accepted!

“Master, that courtyard is heavily guarded, full of boxes containing medicinal herbs!”

Shen Lanxi leaped onto the roof for a quick glance. The boxes were marked “tribute,” meant as offerings to the imperial court! Even the gold and treasures belonged to someone surnamed Sun, hardly a good person!

Take it!

In the blink of an eye, the contents of dozens of large boxes vanished.

After leaving the Sun residence, she flew to the medicinal herb warehouse and emptied everything inside with a wave of her hand.

Back at the inn, she knocked on Liu Yanhui’s door.

“Pack your things. I’ll see you off!”

Liu Yanhui was immediately jolted awake, hurriedly packed, and in a blink, the two were at the city gate.

“Get ready!”

Liu Yanhui’s face was full of question marks: ready for what?

The next second, Shen Lanxi lifted Liu Yanhui and leapt into the air. He first widened his eyes in terror, then tightly shut them and covered his mouth!

Landing lightly, she said: “Alright. At dawn, go ahead with Liu Laohu and the others. I’ll follow shortly!”

Even after Shen Lanxi left, Liu Yanhui’s legs were so weak he could barely stand.

If she were Qu Yanling, having failed to capture her target, she would immediately station guards at the city gates to inspect travelers.

The Sun household would do the same.

Originally planning to stay three days, they now had to leave a day early.

After switching inns and leaving a mark, the next morning, Third Senior Brother knocked on the door.

“Xiao Nine, why did you change locations?”

Shen Lanxi: “Some things came up. I’ll leave this afternoon.”

Yinzi handed her a whistle: “From now on, have Xiao Xue send me messages. It’ll be faster!”

With the whistle around her neck, she handed over the previously mentioned 1.5 million taels and took out two sheets of paper.

“Senior Brother, this one shows where to store grain, the other shows where to store charcoal. Build large warehouses at these locations and stockpile everything!”

Yinzi glanced at the papers, nodded, and carefully put the papers and silver away.

“Junior Sister…” Yinzi looked a little shy.

Shen Lanxi rarely saw him like this: “Senior Brother, if you have something to say, just say it!”

Yinzi scratched his head awkwardly: “Do you want me to go and teach Zhou Ruyuan a lesson?”

He had to know about the three times water was called during the night!

“Senior Brother, we’re not killers. We can’t go around hitting people at every turn!”

Yinzi’s eyes darkened. His Junior Sister still had feelings for Zhou Ruyuan? That scoundrel had hurt her so badly… why is she so foolish!

“I heard he’s gone to the northwest to fight the enemy. If we want to kill him, we’ll wait until the foreign invaders are driven out of the Great Zhou first!”

Yinzi thought: Junior Sister’s brain has always been the sharpest!

“Even if the crime is forgivable in death, it’s hard to escape in life. If he dares to act, he must be brave enough to bear the consequences!” Shen Lanxi’s face curved into a cold, sharp smile.

Yinzi was startled. Seeing her expression, it felt like this “living punishment” was even harsher than death!

“Senior Brother, I’m telling you…”

Yinzi’s eyes widened, realizing—Junior Sister wanted Zhou Ruyuan to suffer a fate worse than death!

An hour later, the teahouse was packed!

“Prince Zhen Nan, Zhou Ruyuan’s household has a concubine who’s like a wolf and tiger! On their wedding night, she clung to the prince and didn’t let him step into the bridal chamber, calling water thirty times in one night…”

“Thirty times?”

“Three times we might believe. Thirty times? Isn’t that too much?”

“That’s not too much, that’s…”

“It’s not like one in and one out… hahaha!”

Shen Lanxi smiled brightly, quietly accomplishing great deeds!

She continued acquiring medicinal herbs, checking the city gate along the way. Sure enough, it was tightly guarded!

Until evening, just before the city gates were about to close, Shen Lanxi disguised as a woman buying rice, strutted out of the city carrying bags of rice!

…

“Stop hitting, stop hitting…” The cries of the Shen family in the exile group rose repeatedly!

“Hmph, serves you right! If it weren’t for you, why would we need shackles and chains? Walking on our own legs? Not killing you is already mercy!”

“Stop, or someone will be killed!”

“Please, stop hitting…”

Everyone in the Shen family except the eldest branch suffered. Even Old Madam Shen was scratched all over her face by Lady Song.

Now there was no special treatment for carrying anyone on their backs either. Any Shen family member trying to climb on someone would be mercilessly bullied by the criminals.

After Old Master and Old Madam Shen were beaten twice, they no longer dared climb onto their children or grandchildren. They didn’t even dare to raise their heads; looking up meant defiance, and defiance meant another beating!

Liu Yanhui, sitting in the carriage, kept glancing back. Each time he looked, his body trembled!

Those who knew were family. Those who didn’t might think the young master had a blood feud with them.

“Master Liu, where’s Master Lan? Why hasn’t he caught up yet?” Liu Laohu craned his neck, looking into the distance—no one, not even dust.

Liu Yanhui lowered his gaze: “Master went to do business. He won’t be back so soon.”

Liu Laohu worried about something else: “What if we run into more refugees on the road?”

Liu Yanhui glanced anxiously at his mother and sister in the carriage, silently praying that Master would finish processing the herbs in the warehouse quickly.

Shortly after leaving the city, Shen Lanxi saw a dozen horses storming out of An Town, with murderous intent—Qu Yanling among them.

After leaving An Town, she went to Fugui Village again.

The Wei Family Army, being directly involved in the recent incident, knew most about what had happened.

When she arrived, Zhang Niu was changing the bandages on the Wei Family’s deputy general, muttering as he worked.

“The methods of the Medicine King Valley are unfathomable. In such a short time, the deputy general has awakened. I expect he’ll recover soon!”

“Deputy General, don’t speak yet. Your throat was burned by fire. The Medicine King Valley left medicine. Within a month, your throat will heal!”

“Even so, the sudden appearance of the Medicine King Valley—could there be something unusual inside?”

Wei Dongzhu raised his hand, pointing to a few people in the room, indicating numbers. Someone immediately understood.

“Deputy General, we’ve found traces of the Shen family in An Town. Xiao Mao and Ali are following up.”

When Wei Dongzhu heard the words “Shen family,” he reacted violently—struggling to get up, roaring to speak, yet not a single word came out. If not for the bandages on his face, it would have been contorted with rage!

“Deputy General, don’t worry. They won’t escape.”

“The Shen family is suffering terribly. They’re like rats in the street—anyone who sees them wants to hit them!”

Several people, red-eyed, forced Wei Dongzhu back down.
