Chapter 703: Chapter 703: The Act of Righteousness (5)_1

"Hehe, you’re really sensible!"

Cai Wei put away the hairpin, snatched her bun with one hand, and said in a low voice, "In that case, I won’t hold back. Madam, please bring out all valuables from your home. If you dare hide even the slightest thing, or play any tricks, I guarantee you will regret it for your lifetime!"

Her voice was cold and the laughter ominous, "Remember?"

"Yes, yes, yes, I understand!"

Lady Bai was taken aback by Cai Wei. She nodded frantically, like a chicken pecking at rice, and shakily stood up. She went to the side of the couch step by step, pulled out a red lacquer wooden box the size of a pillow from under it, and placed it in front of Cai Wei in fear.

"Open it!"

Cai Wei said coldly. The tone was devoid of any warmth but carried a ruthless dominance that couldn’t be resisted.

Lady Bai pursed her lips, endured the severe pain in her wrist and the fear in her heart, and nervously opened the box.

Inside the red lacquered box were neatly folded silver bills, big silver coins, and some scattered silver. All together, it was about one thousand taels.

Without hesitation, Cai Wei tucked the silver bills into her bosom and wrapped the silver coins in a piece of cloth, tying them to her body. The trembling of Lady Bai’s liver revealed her heartache, but she was too afraid of her and had to bite her teeth and endure it.

"What else do you have?"

Cai Wei’s big eyes swept around the room. The silver provided by Lady Bai was not small, but she didn’t believe that Lady Bai would bring out all her properties. Therefore, after putting away the silver and silver bills, she began to press the woman for more.

Comparatively calmer than when she first encountered the robbery, Lady Bai saw that the robber was only a woman, who looked to be only around fourteen or fifteen, and gradually was no longer so fearful. She raised her eyes, slyly signaled to her maid, and then, prevaricatingly, with Cai Wei, went to the outer room.

Of course, the maid understood her master’s intentions. After Lady Bai took Cai Wei away from the main room, she quietly opened the window, jumped out, and ran straight to the front yard!

Cai Wei saw it all but pretended not to, and continued to force Lady Bai to the outer room.

The outer room was connected to the bedroom, separated by a large painted screen of a hundred birds welcoming spring. The room housed Lady Bai’s wardrobe and dressing table.

Ignoring her wardrobes, Cai Wei headed straight for her dressing table.

Opening the drawers of the dressing table, there were over a dozen pieces of gold and silver jewelry. Although not very precious, put together they were worth a few hundred taels. Apart from these, there were some smaller items like velvet flowers and tassels.

Upon seeing these, Cai Wei opened the bundle on her back that was packed with silver, and put all the jewelry in there one by one.

Seeing Cai Wei busily looking down to pack the jewelry, Lady Bai felt that she couldn’t miss this chance. So she took advantage of this moment to grab a small copper mirror from the dressing table, and severely smashed it toward Cai Wei’s head!

As the copper mirror was bound to fall, a smirk crept onto Cai Wei’s face. Suddenly, she raised her hand and accurately grabbed the wrist about to smash down, mocking: "It seems Madam forgot the warning I just gave you. What a pity!"

Having her arm caught by Cai Wei, Lady Bai couldn’t shake it off no matter what. The girl in front of her looked like a child but had astonishing strength. No matter how hard Lady Bai struggled, she couldn’t shake off even a little bit.

Little by little, fear crept into Lady Bai, but the thought that her husband would be back any moment filled her with courage. She kept shaking her arm, and at the same time threatened, "My maid has gone to the front yard to report the news. You’d better let me go sensibly. Otherwise, when my husband comes back, he will definitely catch you and beat you half to death, then strip you and send you to the government office. You’ll wish you were dead, but death will elude you. Wait and see your punishment!"
