The gate of the courtyard opened, and Governor Song walked quickly into Governor Ye's study, only to find that the study was empty, without a single piece of furniture.

"How did you manage to empty the study room, you little bitch?"

Governor Song gritted his teeth and walked quickly towards the inner courtyard.

All the rooms were empty, not even a piece of paper or a thread was left.

He really doubted that if these houses could be moved away, Ye Jintang would have demolished them.

"Madam Zhao, do you know when Ye Jintang moved? How come I didn't receive any news?"

Nanny Zhao, who was following closely behind Governor Song, was also so shocked by what she saw that she was speechless.

"My Lord, Miss Ye chased me out of the yard just after the sun went down yesterday. When I left, the yard was still fine, and no one came to move anything."

"I came here early this morning and ran into Mr. Song."

After hearing what Madam Zhao said, Governor Song's eyes flashed with ferocity. It seemed that the damn girl had other plans a long time ago. The reason why she said she would give him an answer early this morning was probably just to delay time.

Governor Song has been in officialdom for more than 20 years and has seen all kinds of tricks. But today he fell into Ye Jintang's hands and was so depressed that he almost exploded on the spot.

"Go check right now to find out where Ye Jintang is staying and where he put the things he moved from the government office."

"Yes, I will check it out right away."

When Nanny Zhao saw that Governor Song looked like he wanted to eat someone, she was so scared that she ran away quickly, fearing that if she ran a step slower, Governor Song would vent his anger on her.

Governor Song had worked with Prefect Ye for many years and was vaguely aware that Prefect Ye had a large sum of money that he could not keep secret.

He thought to himself that since Magistrate Ye died so suddenly and left no words behind, he certainly could not have told Ye Jintang about the money.

In other words, Ye Jintang moved away, but the silver was still hidden in the backyard.

There is also the account book he has been looking for, which might be hidden together with the silver.

This matter could not be made public, so Governor Song searched room by room slowly.

When he accidentally knocked on the floor tiles of the study and heard a dull echo from below, Governor Song, who had a sullen face just now, immediately smiled.

As he expected, the thing was hidden in the study.

But the study is empty right now, and it doesn’t look like there are any mechanisms in it.

Governor Song knelt on the ground and touched almost every floor tile, but still couldn't find the mechanism to open the secret room.

Governor Song would naturally not give up such a large sum of money easily.

He went home and called his younger brother and elder brother-in-law.

The three of them took their tools and started digging in the study.

Since he couldn't find the mechanism, he would dig through the secret room. No matter how deep the silver was hidden, he would dig it out.

None of the three had done much physical work before, and now they were digging the foundation with pickaxes. In less than an hour, the three were so tired that they sat on the ground.

"Brother, are you sure there is silver hidden down there?"

"Of course, many of Prefect Ye's affairs have passed through my hands, so I naturally know that he has saved a sum of money that is not visible to the public. As long as we find it, it will be ours. Even if people from the Danyang Marquis's Mansion come, they will not be able to find trouble with us."

Governor Song is still very confident about this.

"Okay, let's work harder and dig deeper before anyone knows."

The three of them knew very well that if the people in Danyang Marquis' Mansion knew about this, they would have to give up all the silver they had earned.

Unfortunately, Ye Jintang got there before them and took the silver away last night, so their plan was doomed to fail.

When Ye Jintang returned from the government office, Lu Zhu had already cleaned the house and was preparing to go out to buy groceries.

"Luzhu, please be careful."

When Ye Jintang saw Luzhu carrying a large basket of vegetables, he couldn't help but remind her.

"Don't worry, sir. When I went out just now, I saw many government officials patrolling the streets. There shouldn't be any trouble."

"Well, go and come back quickly, and don't stay on the street for too long."

"Yes."

Luzhu left with the basket. She was so busy that she didn't even bother to ask when the furniture would be moved in.

Ye Jintang took a look inside the Immortal Palace and saw a field of ginseng growing in the farmland. Each ginseng plant had bright red seeds, which looked very beautiful.

“Is this mature or immature?”

For a moment, Ye Jintang was a little confused.

After a long while, she entered the space again and saw that all the ginseng seeds had fallen.

She wondered, since ginseng blooms and produces one kind of fruit, should it be counted as one year or two years?

As long as she doesn't dig it out, the ginseng will continue to grow, bloom and bear fruit in the fairy palace.

Ginseng that is several decades old is not very valuable on the market, but ginseng that is a hundred years old or more becomes valuable.

She was not in a hurry to use the farmland in the fairy palace, so she just let the ginseng grow slowly there.

"Girl, girl, I heard something outside."

Luzhu rushed into the house happily, carrying a large basket of vegetables and meat.

"call?"

"Ah, sir."

Lu Zhu smiled awkwardly and continued, "Just now, I was at the vegetable market and heard the vegetable vendors talking about how Governor Song broke his leg in the government office. Several famous doctors in the city have been invited to see Governor Song."

"Oh, is Governor Song the only one who broke his leg?"

"And Governor Song's brother seems to have broken his arm and is coughing up blood."

"It's strange. There's no big pit in the government office. How could they fall so hard? Could it be that they fell while climbing a big tree in the government office to get bird eggs?"

Looking at Luzhu's serious look, Ye Jintang couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"It's very likely that they mixed in bird eggs."

"Lvzhu, I'm hungry. What are you going to cook for me at noon?"

Ye Jintang took a look at Luzhu's basket, which contained several fresh vegetables, a chicken and a piece of meat.

"I was so busy chatting and laughing that I almost forgot about the important things. Sir, please wait a moment. I will go to cook."

Luzhu was a very lively person. She came in a hurry and ran away in a flash.

While Luzhu was cooking, Ye Jintang took out and looked at all the farms, shops, and lands left by Governor Ye and his wife.

There are quite a lot of these things, so she has to act quickly.

In the afternoon, she went to see the most valuable silver in the shop, which was the dowry left by her mother.

"Sir, eat."

"I am a clumsy servant, and I can only make two dishes. Sir, please don't look down on me."

Luzhu carefully placed the fried beans with meat, fried rooster with chili peppers and a bowl of rice on the table.

Both dishes look delicious and tasty.

Luzhu put the dishes down and stood aside to serve Ye Jintang lunch.

Although Ye Jintang was a billionaire female CEO in her previous life and had dozens of people serving her, she never needed others to pass food to her when eating.

"Luzhu, go eat, I'll eat by myself."

"Yes."

Luzhu bowed and went to the kitchen to have lunch.

Ye Jintang, who was just about to start eating, suddenly remembered something. She didn't seem to have given Luzhu any money, so how did she buy all these dishes?

Ye Jintang came to the kitchen and saw Luzhu holding a whole grain steamed bun in her hand and eating it with some dried radish.

"Lüzhu, go get the bowl. I'll eat rice and meat, and you should follow me and eat rice and meat."

Ye Jintang's words were so powerful that Luzhu was stunned.

"You silly girl, you don't think that we will have no money to spend after we move out of the government office, do you?"

Ye Jintang opened the pot and saw that it was empty. Did Luzhu just make a bowl of rice?

"Sir, Luzhu is fine. She can fill her stomach with whole grain buns."

Looking at the pitiful Lu Zhu, Ye Jintang didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Lu Zhu was so silly that it made people feel sorry for her.
