Anjing was awakened by a splash of cold water. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Housekeeper Chen staring at her with a gloomy face!
"Where did that bastard Han Qi go? Why is Ah Jin in a coma? How did you leave Lord Hou's mansion? You'd better tell me the truth, or you won't see the sun tomorrow! " Thinking of the master's wife slapping him in the face yesterday and his nephew lying in the coffin in a coma, Housekeeper Chen's face instantly became ferocious, and he directly whipped her.
"Ah!"
Anjing was whipped by the salt-soaked whip. She cried out in pain and tears fell down.
Realizing that she was now tied to the wall of the woodshed of Lord Hou's mansion, and the light was on in the woodshed, it was obvious that the day had passed. Anjing instantly understood her current situation. Damn it, she was sent back to Lord Hou's mansion by Han Qi. As a slave who had knocked out the Steward Lin and offended the housekeeper and the master's wife, she was definitely going to die! Did he want her dead?!
"Housekeeper, I, I don't know, ah!" Anjing burst into tears. She was in so much pain that she had already cursed his ancestors in her heart.
"Well, you're still stubborn! I'd like to see which is harder, your mouth or my whip! " Housekeeper Chen was going crazy with anger. The little monster's death had been reported to Lord Hou and the government. If he came out to testify that he was murdered, many of them would die! Although Lord Hou also hated the little monster very much, the little monster was his child after all. He would not allow anyone to harm his child. Fortunately, Lord Hou was not in the mansion during this period, otherwise they would not be far from death.
Anjing's face turned pale with pain. She was a treasure in the hands of her family since she was a child. When had she ever suffered like this? Therefore, she also gritted her teeth and cursed Han Qi, the culprit who had caused her to be like this.
Even so, An Jing didn't reveal a single word of Han Seven's whereabouts. It wasn't because she was protecting Han Seven, but because she knew that if she were to really reveal it, she would lose her value. She would definitely be beaten to death!
Anjing: System, if this goes on, even if I don't die from the beating, I'll die from the pain. Hurry up and think of something!
System: Painkillers, 5 points per box, 5 pills per box. You only need to use one pill to reduce pain by 20% for 24 hours. Do you wish to exchange for them?
Damn, why didn't you tell me earlier that you had painkillers! Thinking that she only had five points left, Anjing broke out in a cold sweat from the pain, but she couldn't help haggling. Five points was too expensive. How about three points?
System: This system is honest with both the old and the young. Bargaining is not allowed.
Bang! Anjing gritted his teeth.
After taking the painkillers, Anjing instantly felt the pain of being whipped lessen. She felt alive again. Although she still felt pain, it was bearable.
Anjing: Does the painkillers have healing effects?
System: No healing effects, but they can temporarily suppress injuries for 24 hours.
Anjing: I don't think there are any painkillers in the quest item!
System: This system requested it from the Lord God at the last minute. Don't be too touched!
Anjing, who only had five points left, rolled her eyes inwardly. The Eye of Fortune, which could be used permanently, only cost 20 points, while the painkillers, which could only last for 24 hours, cost 5 points per box. The price-performance ratio was too low. However, she still thanked the system sincerely. At least it didn't stand by and watch her suffer.
Just as Anjing was about to break free from the ropes and fight to the death, a servant hurriedly knocked on the door and called the old chrysanthemum-faced Butler Chen away.
Butler Chen lashed her a few more times with the whip, then ordered the servant outside the door, "Watch her. Don't let her escape!"
Anjing: System, how much time do we have left?
System: There are still two hours left.
Anjing: System, wake me up at midnight!
System: Okay.
Hearing this, Anjing closed her eyes and leaned against the wall, trying to ignore the pain and hunger in her body. She thought to herself that with her divine strength, it wouldn't be a problem to break free from the ropes. With her X-ray vision, it wouldn't be difficult for her to avoid the patrols and leave the marquis' residence. However, before leaving the marquis' residence, she had to find a way to get some money. After all, whether it was her injuries or leaving Glorious Sun City to settle the score with Han Qi, she needed money!
Anjing narrowed her eyes as she recalled Butler Chen's ferocious expression before he left. She gritted her teeth in hatred. Since she was going to do it, she would do it big! She would eat anything in her life, but she wouldn't suffer losses. Since they dared to hit her, they should be prepared for revenge!
Anjing woke up on time at midnight. She saw the servant dozing off outside the door with her X-ray vision. She used all her strength to break the ropes. After stealthily filling her stomach with two steamed buns, she silently jumped out of the woodshed through the window.
After Han Qi escaped, most of the guards had been sent out to search for him. As a result, the security in the residence wasn't very tight. Anjing used her X-ray vision to avoid wave after wave of patrols and arrived at the main courtyard.
There were many banks, shops, and pawnshops in the marquis' residence. Naturally, they earned a lot of money every year. As a result, Anjing decided to target the treasury of the marquis' residence. However, the public treasury would definitely be guarded. Anjing didn't want to attract the attention of the marquis' residence, so she targeted the private treasury of the marquis' residence.
It was said that wealthy families loved to hide their most precious things in private cellars or hidden passageways. There would definitely be no one guarding such places. As a result, Anjing used her X-ray vision to search all the possible places where money could be hidden in the main courtyard. Sure enough, under the rockery near Master Hou's study, she found a cellar where money was hidden.
With her X-ray vision, Anjing avoided two traps. She then used the flower hairpin on her head to open the secret lock of the cellar. The moment she opened the cellar, she was almost blinded by the dazzling jewels inside. Even though she was a young miss of an aristocratic family in her previous life, she usually used a black gold card to settle all her basic necessities. She had never come into contact with a mountain of jewels at such a close distance!
Looking at the dazzling array of gold, silver and jewels, Anjing took a deep breath. She suppressed the bullet screen comments in her heart that said, "I'm going to be rich. From now on, call me Tycoon Sister". She seriously thought about what she should take. She was someone who needed to escape. She would probably be wanted later. Therefore, she definitely couldn't attract any attention. Therefore, she had to be ruthless and abandon the heavy items!
Anjing suddenly thought that it wasn't logical for the private treasury of the marquis' residence to only store gold, silver and jewels! She used her X-ray vision and carefully scanned the private treasury again. She was pleasantly surprised to find that there was a square of one foot at the bottom of the cellar.
She moved the hundred pound floorboards above the square and saw stacks of large banknotes, priceless jadeite, deep sea black pearls that emitted a soft glow and half a foot long old ginseng. Anjing instantly beamed with joy. She then decisively stuffed the banknotes and black pearls into her lapel. She also didn't let go of the old ginseng and expensive jadeite. After thinking for a while, she also took away a few pieces of paper and paintings in the square. Even though she didn't know how to appreciate art, but if it was placed in the square, it must be very valuable!
