Chapter 94 Ignorance
Lu Jinxuan reached back and tried to pull the quilt over, but Lu Zhenyu pressed it down.
"Xuan'er, can I tell you this?" He smiled and began to move his hands.
"I don't want to listen anymore. I won't ask anymore, okay?" Lu Jinxuan begged.
Only then did she realize that Lu Zhenyu was angry. He must have known the whole story, which was why he treated her like that.
Shen Jingxuan was stunned by this scene.
She knew that cousins could get married in this dynasty, but she didn't know that biological brothers and sisters could also do so.
This made her doubt for a moment, was it because she was ignorant?
Shen Jingxuan stared into the room with her eyes wide open, not noticing that someone was slowly approaching her.
The man quietly came to Shen Jingxuan's side, leaned forward and wanted to know what she was looking at so intently.
But he accidentally startled Shen Jingxuan. Just as she was about to stand up and scream, the man covered her mouth.
He leaned close to Shen Jingxuan's ear and said, "It's me."
When Xie Lingxiao's voice sounded, Shen Jingxuan slowly felt relieved. She turned her head to glance at him, then continued to stare into the room.
Inside the room, Lu Zhenyu really did what he said. He teased Lu Jinxuan, causing her breathing to speed up and making her more and more panicked.
Lu Zhenyu breathlessly told Lu Jinxuan what happened in the yamen.
The rage in his heart made him lose the last bit of his rationality, and Lu Jinxuan finally couldn't bear it anymore and started to scream.
Xie Lingxiao originally thought that Shen Jingxuan was looking at Lu Jinxuan, but he didn't expect such a sound to come from the room. Even he felt his face turn red when he heard it.
He suddenly reached out and hugged Shen Jingxuan, pulled her into his arms, wrapped his arms around her head and ears, and carried her away from the roof.
They came to an empty corner. Shen Jingxuan struggled desperately. She was about to suffocate to death.
Xie Lingxiao noticed Shen Jingxuan's struggle, slowly loosened his hands around her, and looked down at her.
Shen Jingxuan gnashed her teeth and asked, "Are you planning to suffocate me to death?"
"I was just anxious." He thought that she was unhappy because she was taken away by him before she finished reading.
Xie Lingxiao breathed a sigh of relief silently.
"Do you know where the warehouse of the Prime Minister's Mansion is?" Shen Jingxuan asked.
She had already walked around the Prime Minister's Mansion for most of the time, but still couldn't find the location of the warehouse. Even finding Lu Jinxuan's courtyard took her a long time.
"I'll take you there." He picked up Shen Jingxuan by the waist and went towards the warehouse.
Xie Lingxiao took her to find the warehouse, and he couldn't help thinking that even though he was a man, he blushed after hearing the noises in the room.
As a woman, Shen Jingxuan was so calm. He even suspected that if he had not just forcibly carried her away, she might have seen the end.
Xie Lingxiao brought Shen Jingxuan all the way to the main courtyard and stopped not far away.
He looked up at the dark courtyard in front of him and could vaguely sense the presence of other people nearby.
I didn't expect the Prime Minister's Mansion to be so smart. Other mansions and warehouses are all under special protection, and there are many people patrolling openly and secretly.
But it is also easy to be exposed, and the location of the warehouse is often exposed because of the large number of people.
The Prime Minister's Office went the other way. They turned from light to covert, and all the inspectors hid in the dark.
No one would notice that this courtyard, which appeared to be unattended, was the warehouse.
Shen Jingxuan calmed down and slowly felt the position of the guard hiding in the dark. She gradually frowned.
It looks like we will return empty-handed tonight. With so many people, it would be extremely difficult to enter the warehouse without alerting anyone.
Xie Lingxiao had not expected that the storehouse of a prime minister's mansion would be more heavily guarded than that of his regent's palace.
He turned his head to look at Shen Jingxuan, leaned towards her and whispered, "Do you have a way to get in?"
Shen Jingxuan was a little unwilling to give up. After wasting so much time, how could she return empty-handed?
She thought for a moment, silently took out two packets of medicine powder from the space, and looked at Xie Lingxiao with sparkling eyes.
She leaned close to Xie Lingxiao's ear and said, "You are responsible for the east side, I will go to the west side, and we will meet in front of the warehouse door later."
Shen Jingxuan's breath sprayed on Xie Lingxiao's ears. Occasionally, the corners of her mouth moved too much, and her lips occasionally touched Xie Lingxiao's ears and cheeks.
His face suddenly turned red, and his heartbeat quickened.
Seeing that he was motionless, Shen Jingxuan touched his arm, and Xie Lingxiao grabbed a packet of medicine powder and fled quickly.
His movements were so quick and continuous that Shen Jingxuan was confused and thought that Xie Lingxiao didn't hear her.
She wanted to remind him and explain things to him, but he disappeared in an instant. Shen Jingxuan couldn't figure it out, so she just went about her business and didn't take it to heart.
A quarter of an hour later, the two arrived at the door of the warehouse. Shen Jingxuan raised her eyebrows at Xie Lingxiao with a proud look.
Xie Lingxiao couldn't help but laugh. Wasn't it just that the powder made the people in the dark fall into disbelief? Wasn't that enough to make her so proud?
"What should I do with this lock?" Xie Lingxiao asked curiously.
Such a large lock cannot be destroyed violently as the noise would be too loud and would definitely attract other people.
Shen Jingxuan grinned: "Watch me."
Xie Lingxiao saw her take out something like a needle from her sleeve. She inserted the needle into the keyhole and turned it a few times, and the lock opened.
He looked at Shen Jingxuan in surprise. He didn't expect that she had such a skill.
But it didn't seem strange what happened to her, because every time Shen Jingxuan did something, it refreshed his cognition and made him want to continue exploring her differences.
Two people entered the warehouse one after the other. Even Xie Lingxiao was shocked by the scene in front of him.
Looking at the dazzling array of gold, silver, jewelry, calligraphy and painting ornaments in front of you, any one of them is worth a lot of money.
As they walked inside, Shen Jingxuan couldn't help but smack her lips: "Have you ever seen the national treasury? Is this comparable to the national treasury?"
Xie Lingxiao continued to walk forward: "Well, it's much richer than the national treasury."
He really had not imagined that a prime minister's mansion was richer than the national treasury. Not to mention these items, the gold, silver and jewelry alone were beyond the reach of the national treasury.
Shen Jingxuan couldn't help but exclaimed: "Really? How can they be richer than the national treasury? Could they be stealing from the national treasury?"
Xie Lingxiao felt helpless when he saw her asking him question after question. If he knew, would he still allow the Prime Minister's Mansion to remain like this?
"We'll know after we get back and let Ling Feng investigate."
He turned around and looked at Shen Jingxuan: "What do you want to do? We can't move away for the time being, so we can only choose a few valuable things to take away."
But Shen Jingxuan didn't want to wait until next time. This opportunity was rare. Next time, maybe they would be prepared and it would be even more difficult.
She gritted her teeth and decided to fight. She must seize this opportunity to cut off the foundation of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
