YM778.TV Chapter 2: Emptying the Marquis Residence
She desperately clawed at her hair, and instinctively reached for the pen in her hand, only to remember that she was no longer in modern society.
But the next second, a pen magically appeared in her hand—it was one her father had left for her before he died.
It was simple and elegant, made entirely of white jade.
In memory of her father, she had always carried this pen with her over the years.
A term flashed through her mind—”Golden Finger!”
Could this be the benefit brought by traveling through time?
She busily waved the pen around, but noticed no change in it.
She suddenly remembered a book she had read, in which a character attained a personal space just by getting blood on a jade pendant!
Anxiously, she bit her fingertip and grasped the pen.
A magical scene unfolded—the pen gradually disappeared until it was gone.
She blurted out, “Where’s the space?” and instantly found herself in a familiar courtyard.
Before her was a simple two-story building, its walls a blend of blue and white stone.
The courtyard housed a pavilion with the familiar tea set inside!
Next to the pavilion, a mountain spring flowed by, extending to the back garden.
On the right side of the back garden were plots of vegetables, an orchard, and pens for pigs and sheep.
On the left was a large warehouse and a sprawling parking lot.
This was the peaceful, comfortable country clinic she knew!
She had space now!
The pen her father had given her had activated her country clinic and made it her personal space, and it had come with her!
Qi Yue got excited!
About to be banished, it would be great if her personal space could take in everything!
She immediately thought, “Go back to the room,” and the scene before her eyes changed instantly.
Burning red candles, red bed curtains… she was back in her room!
She hurriedly tried to use her thoughts to gather everything in the room into her space, and to her surprise, the furniture and bed vanished instantly!
Then, the silver notes and jewelry she wanted to hide also disappeared in an instant!
Checking the space, she found that everything had been neatly placed on the left side of the storage room.
On the right side were the large stocks of medicine bottles and medical supplies that were originally there.
It was now very clear that she could control the clinic space entirely with her mind, and she could enter and exit at will!
This was great!
With money and these medicines, she was sure to survive the banishment!
No, she would fill the space with as much food and supplies as she could—it was better to have too much than too little!
They wanted to confiscate everything?
She would not leave a single copper behind!
She would take all the gold, silver, jewels, and valuable items in the Marquis Residence!
Qi Yue slightly curled her lips, a hint of coldness flashing in her eyes, and walked out the door.
Following the corridor out of the courtyard, she more or less figured out where the storage of the Marquis Residence was.
In the Capital City of the Beiyuan Kingdom, three residences were famous because they were built by the Governance Bureau, one of which was the Ducal Mansion.
Coincidentally, the original owner had visited here once with her grandmother at the age of five, and she still remembered many places.
After a series of turns, she finally saw an isolated attic with three characters inscribed—Treasure Pavilion.
Under normal circumstances, this place would certainly be guarded, but now, the doors to the attic were wide open.
As she reached the entrance, she encountered a guard who, in a panicked state, dashed out the door.
He had several strings of jewels around his neck and was holding a box in his arms.
Upon seeing her, the whole person looked terrified, dropped the box, and ran.
As she watched the Gold Ingots drop to the ground, Qi Yue ignored him, slightly raised her hand, and instantly took everything into her space.
After entering the building and closing the door, upon seeing the interior of the Treasure Pavilion, Qi Yue could not help but gasp in amazement.
It was worthy of being the Ducal Mansion of three generations, with a profound legacy not to be underestimated by ordinary households.
The vast Treasure Pavilion was filled with fine fabrics, gold and silver jade implements, treasures, jades, and antique calligraphy and paintings!
Qi Yue took one look and saw there was a second floor, and it seemed to be faintly shimmering with gold light!
She hastily waved her plump hand, stashing all the items into her space.
Then, she patter her short chubby legs and swiftly made her way to the second floor.
Wow!
Glimmering silver ingots and dazzling gold ingots nearly blinded her!
There was also a large box filled with fist-sized Luminous Pearls!
Qi Yue waved her fat hand again and quickly tucked everything into her space.
Such fine things should definitely stay in her space!
Every second they were exposed to the air, she felt like she was losing something!
After clearing out the Treasure Pavilion, Qi Yue moved to the Duke’s courtyard.
The calligraphy on the walls, the ornaments on the antique shelf… she practically grabbed anything she saw.
Coming from modern society, she found these ancient artifacts incredibly valuable!
Qi Yue loved everything she saw, and eventually, she simply emptied the entire study.
Next was the Duchess’s courtyard.
Headdress in the dressing box, private collections on the nightstand, brand new clothes, capes, quilts, blankets—she didn’t leave a single item behind.
She then made her way to Zhao Xiyan’s courtyard.
This place was quieter, except for the study, the other rooms had little to grab, only a jade pillow.
Qi Yue, frustrated, decided to take the desk as well.
As she was leaving, she saw a Long Halberd hanging on the wall.
The blade of the halberd shimmered with a silver glow, nearly two meters long, the pole was pitch black and carved with primitive patterns, its material unidentifiable.
Somehow, the image of a young man in a white robe appeared in Qi Yue’s mind.
Standing nine feet tall, majestic and commanding, grasping the Long Halberd, standing between heaven and earth, a single shout from him would topple an enemy general off his horse!
This was probably her dear husband’s weapon in his younger days, it looked valuable, so she took it too!
With a wave of her hand, the Long Halberd instantly vanished.
Qi Yue, satisfied with her haul, continued on to the next destination—the kitchen!
Today was the Ducal Mansion’s wedding, and the kitchen had a lot of delicious food!
Flower Cooked Partridge, Lychee White Waist Dish, Three-Crunch Soup, Sheep Tongue Dish, Sprouting Stomach Slices, Palm Signature Dish, Partridge Soup, Stomach Slices, Mandarin Duck Fried Belly, Shark Minced, Blood Powder Soup, Wine Vinegar White Waist Dish, Three Fresh Bamboo Shoots Stir-Fried Partridge, Button Mushroom Fat Chicken, Three Fresh Duck, Five Tendril Chicken Strips…
It seemed the Ducal Mansion was really in the midst of serious wedding preparations!
The arrangements were quite thorough!
Having collected these, she wouldn’t have to worry about food on her journey!
Qi Yue, very pleased, looked at her spatial storeroom and suddenly remembered she hadn’t yet visited the Marquis Residence’s storeroom.
Normally, for ease of storing and fetching items, storerooms are usually located behind the kitchen.
As expected, just around a corner, she saw the large black door of the storeroom.
As she pushed open the door, Qi Yue couldn’t control the corners of her mouth from turning upward.
Basics like rice, flour, and oil formed just the essential stock.
There were also several unopened boxes of expensive ingredients like Blood Swallow, Lingzhi, Cordyceps, and Dendrobium—excellent for medicinal meals!
She also found dozens of casks of fine liquor, judging from the clay seals, they seemed to be aging, all vintage!
Qi Yue unceremoniously waved her hand, and with the word “collect” leaving her lips, the entire storeroom instantly emptied!
After everything, Qi Yue’s stout body was drenched in sweat.
Looking at the space in her storeroom, two-thirds was still empty!
Instantly, her heart was filled with vigor!
If possible, she wanted to keep collecting more and more!
The space was huge, and aside from the storeroom, she had plenty of room for storing other things! The items she got just filled a tiny gap!
It seems that the original owner’s dowry was worth several million, all seized by the wicked second aunt.
How could that stand, being Qi Yue now, the things that belonged to her naturally had to be taken back.
Besides, it was also a way of avenging the original owner!
Leaving the storeroom, Qi Yue was planning to visit the General Residence when she suddenly heard a series of orderly footsteps rushing toward the backyard.
