It Pulled Five Chests Out of the Ground
Mrs. Cui Wenyuan nodded and looked at Zhou Wanwan, saying:
"Wanwan, thank you for tonight. If it weren't for you, I would never have imagined that Cui Wenyuan was such a heartless and insane person."
And my two children, really...
Zhou Wanwan looked at her and said, "Are you sure these two sons are yours?"
Madam Cui was taken aback and asked, "What do you mean by that?"
Zhou Wanwan looked at her and said, "These two children might not be your biological children."
Madam Cui's eyes widened in fright as she exclaimed, "Not mine?"
Zhou Wanwan looked at her and said:
"Madam Cui, these matters will require some time to be investigated."
So don't rush, let me take out the valuables from your Cui Residence first!
Madam Cui shook her head and said:
"No need, our Cui Family has little wealth left."
We've spent a lot of money over the years trying to cure Ningning's illness, and Ningning has a huge appetite...
Zhou Wanwan smiled and said:
"I can't believe you actually believed that. Even if Ningning can eat a lot, can she bankrupt the Cui Residence?"
Besides, do you really think someone like Cui Wenyuan would treat Ningning's illness?
Mrs. Cui Wenyuan was dumbfounded.
Zhou Wanwan, holding a pot of orchids, said, "Go on, I'm listening!"
This orchid is Cui Zhiyi's most beloved and treasured one.
She brought this orchid with her this time and placed it in the most pleasing spot in the house. It's clear that she truly cherishes it.
Da Xue Su gently shook her petals and said, "I know a lot of things. I was raised by Cui Zhiyi for five years, and she loved telling me all sorts of secrets."
Zhou Wanwan transferred some energy to it and asked, "Hmm, where are the Cui Family's assets kept?"
Da Xuesu pointed to the road and said, "Those things have all been delivered to the old house."
Zhou Wanwan sat on the Old Scholar Tree and soon arrived at the Cui Family's old house.
The Cui Family's old house looked exceptionally large, and it was clear that it had been carefully renovated in recent years. The corridors and courtyards were neat and orderly, and it exuded grandeur everywhere.
As soon as Zhou Wanwan entered the door, she was led by Da Xuesu and quickly found several carriages parked in a secluded spot.
As she approached, just as the horses were about to neigh, many vines stretched out from the side and tightly covered their mouths.
Zhou Wanwan bent down and got into the carriage, and was stunned when she looked up.
The carriage Manman full of gold, silver, jewelry, and jade artifacts, so full that there was hardly any room left.
Da Xue Su stood to the side, her face full of smugness, and said:
"These all belong to Cui Zhiyi."
Actually, the most valuable things in the house are all in the hands of Cui Zhiyi and her mother.
Zhou Wanwan nodded and said, "Take these carriages away, I want to take another look around."
Zhou Wanwan strolled around the Cui Family's courtyard. The Cui Family's old house was indeed very old.
Suddenly, a jujube tree in the yard spoke up, "Where did this little girl come from? I don't think I've ever seen her at home before?"
The pomegranate tree next to her glanced at Zhou Wanwan and said, "I've never seen her before. She doesn't seem to be from the Cui Family."
Jujube Tree paused for a moment, then said, "She wouldn't be here to steal our treasure, would she?"
The persimmon tree next to them chimed in, "Really? We've hidden these treasures for over ten years, and no one has discovered them. No one should ever find them."
Zhou Wanwan asked with a half-smile, "Ah? What other treasures are you hiding in here?"
The persimmon tree shook its branches and said, "That's right! Cui Wenyuan hid all of his wife's dowry here back then!"
As soon as it finished speaking, it regretted it. "You... you can actually talk to us?"
Zhou Wanwan chuckled and said, "That's right! Can you tell me where these treasures are hidden?"
The persimmon tree glared at her and said, "You brat, so you really did come here for the treasure! Get out of here right now!"
Zao Shu roared, "Thief! You audacious thief, how dare you steal from the Cui Family? Aren't you afraid of being sent to the county government?"
The pomegranate tree glared at her and said:
"If you don't get out of this house, we'll break your legs."
I'll trap you here forever, so you can't leave even for a moment!
The Old Scholar Tree strolled in slowly and said, "You want to strangle her legs? That's quite something!"
It uprooted these trees, just like pulling up scallions.
The trees cursed loudly, "You old bastard, how dare you uproot us! You're dead!"
"Once our master discovers you, he will kill you all."
"We won't tell you where the treasure is hidden; you can search for it your whole life."
The Old Scholar Tree ignored them; its roots stretched directly into the soil, and before long...
It pulled five boxes out of the ground and said, "These should be all there are. That old fox hid them quite well."
The Old Scholar Tree opened the five boxes; the first box was filled entirely with pure gold jewelry.
A phoenix crown in pure gold with pearls, a butterfly-shaped gold filigree heart, a ruby-set gold centerpiece, a lotus-patterned pure gold necklace, solid gold bracelets, gold bangles, and gold rings.
There were also dozens of gold Yuanbao and gold coins piled up underneath, so high that one touch revealed they were pure gold.
The second box was full of pearls and precious gemstone jewelry:
Large, round pearls, hairpins, hair ornaments, and pearl rings, each bead gleaming white.
There is also a complete set of headdresses, hairpins, hair ornaments, rings, pendants, and hair ornaments inlaid with pigeon blood rubies, imperial green jadeite, Blue Treasure, and cat's eye stones.
The third box was full of important pieces of mutton-fat white jade and jadeite:
The jade hair ornament, jade hairpin, jade phoenix hairpin, jade bracelet, and jade plaque are all pure white and free of impurities.
On the other side is a jadeite headpiece, its green color vibrant and lustrous, with excellent translucency.
The fourth box contained coral, amber, and rare treasures.
A red coral hairpin over a foot tall, an amber Buddha head, a blood amber pendant, and a Canaan incense plaque.
There are also silver-gilt combs inlaid with gemstones and kingfisher feather jewelry, all of which are rare items with prices but no market availability.
The fifth box was filled with silver ingots, gold leaves, strings of pearls, broken gemstones, and several small gold boxes inlaid with jewels.
The Old Scholar Tree threw all these things onto the cart and broke off the trees to use as firewood.
In one night, they ransacked the Cui Family.
Early the next morning, Cui Zhiyi had already fainted from the pain.
After finishing her breakfast, Madam Cui slowly came out of the house and asked, "Zhiyi, what's wrong?"
Cui Wenyuan stared coldly at her and said, "Madam, you slept quite well last night, didn't you?"
Madam Cui was taken aback and said, "How did you know, husband? I slept very well last night, without even a dream."
Cui Wenyuan snorted coldly and said:
"Zhiyi grew up in our compound from a young age, and she's no different from your daughter."
She's in so much pain right now, how can you still sleep?
It seems that all your talk about Zhiyi was just a lie.
Madam Cui looked at him calmly and said:
What do you mean by that? Haven't you seen how good I am to Zhiyi?
"Anything my daughter has, I'll give her a share of. What more do you want from me?"
