Chapter 216 - Robbing the Treasure Vault
Ye Jiushang did not think that Xue Fanxin was ruthless. In fact, he felt that she was not ruthless enough and was worried that she would never be ruthless enough.
If she wasn’t harsh, others would take advantage of her.
“Did you find the butler’s residence?” Ye Jiushang asked Little Lei coldly. Apart from Xue Fanxin, his attitude towards everyone was cold and heartless. If it was someone he didn’t like, his attitude would be even worse.
“Master, I’ve already found it. I’ll take you there now.” Little Lei put away his various thoughts and got to work. He brought Ye Jiushang and Xue Fanxin to the butler’s residence in the Prime Minister’s Estate.
Although it was already midnight, the butler was not sleeping in his room. This was really strange.
“Ah Jiu, if leave the crystals in there, will he really sell them secretly?” Xue Fanxin took out a few small crystals and casually threw them into the butler’s room. However, she felt that this was unreliable.
What if the butler picked up the crystals and handed them to Su Baifeng instead of selling them? What would they do then?
“Do you think a person who values money as his life and has a mountain of debt would give treasures he picked up to others?” Ye Jiushang asked in a certain tone.
“If it were me, I wouldn’t.”
“So the butler of the Prime Minister’s Estate won’t either. These few crystals are enough for him to clear his account. How can he let go of such a good thing? Don’t worry. You’ll hear the ‘good news’ in a few days.”
“Although my heart aches for these crystals, I can’t bear to lose the bait either. I have to cut some meat.”
Little Lei could not help but shoot her a contemptuous glance. “Do you have to be so unwilling to part with a few low-grade lousy crystals?”
“Yeah, I have to. What are you gonna do, bite me?” Xue Fanxin stuck out her tongue and made a face, angering Little Lei to new heights.
“What an idiot,” Little Lei said speechlessly. However, arguing with Xue Fanxin made him feel amused.
Ye Jiushang did not mind Xue Fanxin and Little Lei bickering with each other, but most of the time, he would side with his consort. Seeing her feel sorry for those crystals, he said leisurely, “If you feel sad, why don’t we rob the Prime Minister’s Estate’s treasure vault?”
As soon as she heard ‘treasure vault,’ her ears pricked up. She said excitedly, “Sure, sure! I love robbing treasure vaults.”
Little Lei felt sorry for the people from the Prime Minister’s Estate. Their future looked bleak.
But why did he also feel so excited and impatient? “Little Lei, take us to the treasure vault. It’s best if we can empty it without anyone noticing, just like last time in the mineral vein.” Xue Fanxin no longer felt sorry for her loss. Instead, she got anxious to find the treasure vault.
Although she was good at stealing and could clean the treasures herself, she was not strong enough. With her current ability, she would probably be discovered as soon as she entered the Prime Minister’s Estate.
Anyway, with Little Lei, she could save a lot of trouble.
Xue Fanxin was too excited about emptying the treasure vault, not noticing the faint coldness that Ye Jiushang revealed.
Since Su Baifeng felt that he was targeting the Empress and the Duke of Zhongyi for her, he would make the days in the Prime Minister’s Estate even more difficult than being hit by the Empress, making her unable to eat and sleep.
He did not want Su Baifeng’s wishful thinking to spoil his relationship with Little Xin’er.
