Chapter 217 Robbing the Lü Family (5)_1
Upon seeing it, Cai Wei’s eyes lit up for a moment before she unceremoniously collected the entire dressing table into her own space.
As for the sandalwood box with four cabinets along the west wall, she certainly wouldn’t miss them. It was likely that all of Lady Yu’s personal savings over the years had been placed inside.
After a round of collection, she had nearly gathered all the valuable belongings, leaving only the carved embroidered couch.
She walked over, pulled back the splendid bed curtains, and saw Lady Yu soundly asleep under a brocade quilt embroidered with a pattern of ’many sons, many blessings’. Cai Wei remembered the ’generous’ gift Lady Yu had given her when she visited Yushu County City. Now seemed like the perfect time for payback.
She sprinkled a handful of sleeping powder, causing Lady Yu to sleep even deeper. She then summoned Chang Mei and handed her a black appearance-altering pill given by Old Turtle, instructing her in hushed tones to grind the pill into water and apply it on Lady Yu’s face.
For a young, beauty-loving woman who was always thinking about vying for favor, nothing in this world could be more cruel than ruining her appearance. Lady Yu, with her heartless tendencies and readiness to kill, deserved such a retribution. It was already quite merciful!
Cai Wei continued to go around Lü Mansion, including the warehouse, the grain storage, and even the side rooms belonging to the concubines. Anything valuable was collected into her own space. Then, she finally arrived at the small miscellaneous room mentioned by Brother Ying.
Lü Zhongzhu appeared reckless, but in reality, he was very cautious. His treasures were not locked deep within his bedroom or study like those of other wealthy families but hidden in a small room in the back garden where miscellaneous items were stored. No thief would ever think that the Lü family would hide their wealth there, which was precisely the brilliance of Lü Junchen.
