Chapter 216: Chapter 216 Robbing the Lü Family (4)_1

Cai Wei calmly emerged from the darkness, sneaking into the inner rooms of the second entry of the mansion. According to Brother Parrot, the hall here was where Lü Zhongzhu entertained guests. The study room was on the left, with the bedroom on the right. If Lü Zhongzhu didn’t want to rest in the back house, he would stay overnight here.

Once inside, using the brilliant light from the red lantern outside the window, Cai Wei got a glimpse of the wealth of the Lü family and couldn’t help but be a little shocked.

The hall of the Lü family was spacious and grand, with a pair of precious purple sandalwood chairs in the center. The high table in the middle had a delicate gold-painted tea set on it. Above it hung a painting by the famous Wu Zuoren "Ladies Tread on the Spring Picture" from the previous dynasty. The two rows of chairs arranged on both sides were also made of purple sandalwood, looking both solemn and luxurious!

Without any courtesy, Cai Wei took every item in the room that caught her eye, and the word "Collect!" was shouted. She even collected the second-hand tea set into her space. Although she wouldn’t use items that others had used, it doesn’t mean she wouldn’t give them to others to use, especially those greedy people who wanted to cheat her family. Letting them use Lü Zhongzhu’s tea set was most apt, perhaps one day the Lü family would discover it, and it might set a dogfight between the two families!

After completing the collection in the hall, she turned into Lü Zhongzhu’s study room. Seeing the calligraphy and paintings of famous artists on the walls, she didn’t allow any to escape, and gracefully accepted each one. Those antique ceramics displayed on the display case and in Duobao Pavilion were even more irresistible to her. In a blink of an eye, she completely plundered the entire study room. She only left behind several colorful erotic pictures!

Leaving the study room, she went to the bedroom on the right and took the couch with a quilt made of silk and brocade into her space. Only then did she satisfiedly leave and went straight to the back house.

While walking, she suddenly heard a grumbling voice ahead.

"Damn, we were just about to catch it, unexpectedly it suddenly flew over the wall..."

"I say, why don’t we climb over the wall to look for it, maybe we could find it. That big bird is valuable, it can surely sell for a good price, when sold we brothers can divide it, isn’t that good?"

"Stop it, you. Were you blinded by lard or smeared with cow dung in your eyes? Dare to leave the courtyard on duty, be careful if the house masters knew it, they will break your legs and sell them off!"

As soon as Cai Wei heard this, she knew that the group of housekeepers had returned from catching birds. She quickly hid in her space, seeing Chang Mei was setting up the things she brought in, sorting and classifying those things, and storing them in the bamboo house.

"Hehe, Chang Mei, you’re working hard. When I’m done, I’ll make something delicious to reward you!"

Cai Wei chuckled with a grin, then saw that the group of housekeepers had passed by, she quickly came out from her space, and walked towards the backyard.

The three parts of Lü family’s mansion were where Lü Zhongzhu and his wife, Lady Yu, lived. When Cai Wei went over there, she found a maid dozing off while watching over a quilt on the porch, seemed like a maid on night duty. While she was catching her forty winks, Cai Wei kindly sprinkled some powder to make her sleep soundly.

In order to prevent problems before they occur, upon entering the room, she drugged several maids on the kang (traditional Chinese bed-stove) in the outer rooms before confidently heading into the inner room.

The inner room was the bedroom of Lady Yu and Lü Junchen. Although Lady Yu was not favored by Lü Zhongzhu, her identity was there after all. Her bedroom was very luxurious and exquisite. The furniture was made of top-quality sandalwood and carved with intricate patterns.

Next to the window was a dressing table inlaid with colorful shells, which was extremely luxurious and dazzling. On it laid a rhombus bronze mirror covered with a silk case, a lacquer carved jewelry box with a plum blossom design, a gold-inlaid hairpin with gemstones and phoenix head, and a rare backwards necklace. They were displayed on the dressing table and not kept in the jewelry box.
