Chapter 2652: A Package Under the Covered Incense Table
There didn’t seem to be anything unusual in the study.
Ning Shu’s eyes wandered, trying to think of any other suitable hiding places.
The ancestral hall?
Ning Shu decided to go and take a look at the ancestral hall.
The door to the ancestral hall was locked, but Ning Shu managed to open it with some difficulty using a wooden lever she found near the window. She climbed in through the window.
Inside the ancestral hall were the ancestral tablets of the Lu family. Ning Shu respectfully clapped her hands and bowed before starting her search.
She even climbed onto the rafters to inspect them.
Finally, she found a package under the covered incense table.
When she opened the package, she discovered a jade ruler’s seal and a dragon robe.
Ning Shu: →_→
It was placed so obviously, it was clearly meant to be found during a search.
How should she deal with these items?
The Lu residence was now completely surrounded, and it was likely that there would be orders to search the residence soon.
This jade seal, tsk…
As Ning Shu passed by a pond, there was the sound of a small splash. She had thrown the jade seal into the water. She would retrieve it when she had the chance.
As for the dragon robe…
The embroidery was really exquisite.
Ning Shu hugged the dragon robe and quickly returned to her own room, stuffing the dragon robe into her blanket.
“Miss, the cook made some plain porridge. Would you like to eat?” Yuan Xiang asked.
“Yes.” Ning Shu made quick work of the porridge, then said, “I want to take a nap. Don’t wake me up unless it’s necessary.”
Yuan Xiang nodded and closed the door behind her.
Ning Shu quickly took out the dragon robe. How should she dispose of it?
Burn it?
But it would produce thick smoke.
Kitchen, she should burn it in the kitchen!
Using scissors, Ning Shu cut the dragon robe into small pieces, carefully collecting the pearls from it. The dragon robe was really made so sincerely, with plenty of gold threads and pearls.
She bundled up the pieces of cloth with another cloth.
Ning Shu put on a cloak and hid the bundle inside it before heading to the kitchen.
There were many people busy in the kitchen. Ning Shu walked over to the stove.
“Miss, why are you here? The kitchen is very dirty,” the cook said.
“Mistress Liu is feeling a bit uneasy. I’m going to make her a bowl of lotus seed soup. I want to make it myself. You all can continue with your work. I can handle it myself,” Ning Shu squatted in front of the stove and added some firewood into it.
The cook was a bit worried, but Ning Shu reassured her, saying, “Don’t worry.”
While no one was paying attention, Ning Shu stuffed the package into the stove and used tongs to stir it.
It was just a pity about these gold threads. They were all real gold!!
Ning Shu squatted by the stove, watching as the flames consumed the clothes, slowly turning them into ashes.
She breathed a sigh of relief only when everything was completely burned to ashes.
Once the lotus seed soup was ready, Ning Shu filled a bowl and left the kitchen.
Ning Shu brought the lotus seed soup to Mistress Liu, who was pacing anxiously in the room, appearing very agitated.
“You should eat something,” Ning Shu placed the bowl of lotus seed soup down.
Mistress Liu anxiously said, “I don’t know how your father is doing. I’m so worried, I can’t calm down at all!”
Ning Shu calmly reassured her, saying, “Everything will be fine. Eat something, Father will be alright.”
After leaving Mistress Liu’s courtyard, Ning Shu continued to wander around, checking if there were any other strange things.
She was worried that the other party had made multiple preparations.
