Aren't We Being Rude, Going to Someone Else's Ancestral Graves?
Banana quickly pressed, "Tell me, tell me! Everyone's praising her, what's going on?"
The weeping crabapple was described vividly:
"What else could it be? He's just talented!"
At today's banquet, in front of so many distinguished guests, she picked up a pen and wrote a poem—her skill was truly remarkable!
The first poem describes a willow tree in spring. "A tall tree adorned with jade, ten thousand green silk ribbons hanging down. Who could have cut such delicate leaves? The spring breeze of February is like a pair of scissors."
"You've brought our spring scenery to life so perfectly, it's wonderful!"
"And that one!"
The orchid beside her couldn't help but interject:
"It is even more wonderfully written: 'I sleep soundly in spring and am unaware of the dawn, everywhere I hear birds singing.'"
The sound of wind and rain last night, how many flowers have fallen?
Banana's eyes lit up. "Wow! That's amazing? So if she offends the Lu Family, wouldn't that mean...?"
The weeping crabapple pouted and said:
"What's there to be afraid of? Look at her, she's still taking a walk outside! Calm and collected, not flustered at all."
I think the Lu Family will be the ones in the dark tomorrow!
The rose bush gazed at the Congrong figure on the distant cobblestone path, secretly admiring her. "This girl is truly capable. Let's wait and see what tomorrow brings!"
Zhou Wanwan chuckled and suddenly spoke up:
"Hi everyone! I'm Zhou Wanwan, the one you're talking about. I just want to ask, does the Lu Family still have any hidden treasures?"
"You've lived here for so long, you must know where the Lu Family's treasure is hidden, right?"
In an instant, all the flowers and plants in the yard seemed to have been frozen in place, not even daring to sway their leaves.
Zhou Wanwan tilted her head and looked at them, saying, "Hey, weren't you guys talking a lot just now? Why are you all so quiet now?"
The orchid in the corner asked softly, "Are you... are you talking to us?"
Zhou Wanwan blinked and nodded seriously:
Yes, that's exactly what I'm telling you!
I'm happy to see how energetic you all look. Let me give you some energy!
The broad leaves of the banana tree trembled slightly as it spoke:
Wow--this feels so good! What exactly is this energy?
It was warm and cozy, penetrating deep inside me, chasing away all my fatigue. I felt completely refreshed and incredibly comfortable!
The Chunhua next to it chimed in quietly, "Yes, yes, it seems especially energetic, even its blossoms are more vibrant!"
Zhou Wanwan smiled and said:
"This is a kind of energy within me that can make you bloom more brightly and increase your vitality."
But you have to tell me where the Lu Family's treasure is."
Peony lowered her voice and said:
"I was on the roof of the study before, and I overheard the servants whispering. I know more than you do."
The Lu Family, ah, they've got a lot of ulterior motives up their sleeves."
She continued:
"Take the study for example. There's a hidden room in the back, with an inconspicuous little door that leads directly to a cellar."
That place wasn't piled with books, it was piled with real gold and silver—chests of gold Yuanbao and towering stacks of silver dollars.
Zhou Wanwan's eyes lit up:
"Why don't you come with us? As long as you help us find the treasure."
Then I'll take you back to the mountain stronghold and feed you energy every day.
Peony nodded; the cellar in the study was indeed filled with many things.
The houses couldn't be moved because of the large trees.
After the move was finished, the peony continued:
"There's a huge warehouse behind the Lu Family's house. Let me show you."
Besides the old housekeeper, only Zhou Wanwan knows about this place.
On the surface, it looks like a dilapidated old house, so deserted that no one would dare to come. Who would have thought that treasures were hidden underneath?
Zhou Wanwan followed Mudan through the backyard, which was desolate, overgrown with weeds, and the gate was locked tight, with no one ever going there.
The Old Scholar Tree uprooted the dilapidated house completely.
"This dilapidated house is so run-down, we wouldn't want it."
Our outhouse is much better than this dilapidated house.
Hehehehehe... Wanwan, look what's underneath!
Zhou Wanwan never expected that there was such a large space hidden under the house.
The area below was built like a palace, bright and spacious, filled with gold and silver jewels piled up like small mountains.
Boxes of gold bars and Yuanbao, as well as many gold bracelets and necklaces.
Various pearls, agates, jade, and gemstones filled several large boxes...
Many of them were placed in wooden crates, but no one knew what was inside those large wooden crates.
Anyway, all the big tree did was move things around, and the Old Scholar Tree kept giving instructions. "Slow down a bit on the way, those porcelain pieces can't withstand such rough handling."
The trees nodded, and suddenly the big banyan tree in the yard spoke up, "Where did you all come from, you out-of-town trees? You can even walk, tsk tsk tsk... How amazing!"
The Old Scholar Tree smiled and said:
"Old brother, you've been here for hundreds of years, haven't you?"
Do you know what other good things are here?
If you can explain it clearly, we can help you walk.
The old banyan tree was very interested. "Really? I can walk too?"
The Old Scholar Tree nodded and said:
"Don't even mention you, I could make all the trees in this yard walk."
But the prerequisite is that you have to tell us where the treasure is!
The old banyan tree laughed heartily:
"I've lived here for hundreds of years and know a little about the Lu Family. The Lu Family was indeed very wealthy in the past, with a fortune that could crush half a street."
Unfortunately, in this generation, the younger generation is disappointing, resorting to both overt and covert theft outside, and their home has been nearly destroyed by termites.
Now all that's left at home are a few odds and ends to keep things in order.
The old banyan tree patted its chest and lowered its voice:
All I know is that when their grandfather was alive, he hid the most valuable item next to the ancestral grave.
I can take you to see it.
Zhou Wanwan blinked and said, "Wouldn't it be impolite for us to go to someone's ancestral graves?"
The old banyan tree laughed heartily:
"What's with the politeness? We're not going to dig up graves."
The thing is hidden under the old sycamore tree next to the grave.
Zhou Wanwan directly channeled energy into all the trees in the garden, and the trees became so excited that they rushed into the yard and let out strange laughs.
Lu Xuening, accompanied by several maids, came out to find Shen Zhiyu. The two found a rockery.
Shen Zhiyu hugged Lu Xuening and said, "Xuening, you've finally arrived! I've been waiting for you for so long!"
Lu Xuening smiled at him and said, "Brother Zhiyu, it seems that Su Zhixia doesn't want to be a concubine! What should we do now?"
Shen Zhiyu sneered:
"That woman is so ungrateful. I've been trying to find her these past couple of days, and then I'll..."
Anyway, you don't need to worry about it, I have my own way.
Xuening, it's been so long! You smell so good!
Lu Xuening said shyly, "No way! We're not married yet! If someone sees us, my reputation will be ruined."
Shen Zhiyu chuckled and said, "Don't worry! They're all asleep. Who would see them?"
