ALL NOVEL
Chapter 7
Just as He Zhiran was hesitating about how to gloss over this matter, Mo Jiuye spoke again.
"Everyone has secrets, if you don't want to say, I won't force you. The situation of my Mo Family is bad enough already, my mother and sisters-in-law are all pitiful people, I only hope that you don't have any crooked ideas."
When faced with such an inscrutable person, Mo Jiuye didn't dare gamble, nor did he want to gamble. He alone was easy to handle, but he couldn't use the lives of his whole family as gambling chips.
He only hoped that his heartfelt words could move He Zhiran. If she really harbored malicious intentions, Mo Jiuye hoped that for the sake of his pitiful sisters-in-law, she would let them off.
Regarding Mo Jiuye's suspicions, He Zhiran could completely understand. After all, her own behavior was too astonishing, if Mo Jiuye didn't doubt her, it would make one even more uneasy.
"I don't harbor malice towards the Mo Family, please rest assured on this point."
After looking at Mo Jiuye, she had already opened up to him after all, so He Zhiran felt that she could also tentatively reveal some of her background.
The exile journey would be long, and there would definitely come a day when she would need to take out the supplies she had stored in her space. She couldn't keep racking her brains for excuses every time.
She wanted to help Mo Jiuye escape this disaster, but didn't want to spend all her energy on figuring out excuses.
Moreover, with Mo Jiuye's astuteness, trying to deceive him would not be an easy task.
After pondering for a while, He Zhiran tentatively said:
"Everyone has secrets, I have them, and I believe you do too. I just said that I don't harbor malice towards the Mo Family, so I hope you can respect me and not pry into my secrets.
I can also honestly tell you that the theft at the Duke's Mansion is indeed related to me. On one hand, I didn't want those things to fall into the hands of enemies, on the other hand, having some supplies on hand will make the exile journey easier."
He Zhiran stopped speaking there, she had already said enough.
If Mo Jiuye still stubbornly kept asking, she could only choose to leave this place.
He Zhiran believed that with her own capabilities, no matter where she went, she could live a carefree life. There was no need to stay here offering goodwill, only to be doubted.
As for the lives of the entire Mo Family, she would be powerless to help anyway...
After a long time, Mo Jiuye finally spoke heavily: "I promise you I won't pry into your secrets anymore."
His intuition told him that this woman wasn't lying.
Moreover, the things she did were all to help the Duke's Mansion, and didn't have any intention of kicking a man when he is down.
As for how she carried away so many supplies, even if Mo Jiuye was very curious, he endured and didn't ask again.
The two temporarily reached a consensus, and the wedding chamber fell into silence for a time.
After a long while, Mo Jiuye tentatively asked: "Since you have the ability to silently clear out the storeroom, if I take you to an even richer place, can you empty it out?"
He Zhiran's eyes lit up when she heard an even richer place.
Although her space was already filled with all kinds of items, many were useless accumulated things.
After exile, who knew what kind of emergencies they would encounter, having more silver and money in hand was the most important.
She also believed in Mo Jiuye's integrity. Since he had promised not to pry into her secrets anymore, then he definitely wouldn't ask again.
As long as he didn't ask, even if she used her space in a turn-a-blind-eye manner it would be fine.
At least she wouldn't have to be overly cautious about it.
"Where do you want to take me?"
Hearing her tone, Mo Jiuye knew that this woman had agreed.
"I plan to rob the National Treasury. As long as you can take the things away, I'll handle the entry."
"National Treasury?"
He Zhiran was somewhat shocked. She never imagined that Mo Jiuye's appetite was even bigger than hers, and had actually set his sights on emptying out the National Treasury.
It was just that her space was too small, it definitely couldn't hold that much wealth.
Seeing He Zhiran's hesitation, Mo Jiuye asked: "What's wrong? You don't dare?"
"What's there for me not to dare? I was just thinking, with so many things in the National Treasury, how to store them."
"Store them?" Mo Jiuye couldn't help but ask.
He Zhiran quickly reacted: "You said you wouldn't ask."
"Sorry, I overstepped." Mo Jiuye was frank, and immediately apologized to He Zhiran.
He Zhiran's consciousness entered her space, and glanced at the time, it was already two in the morning.
The time of the decree to ransack their home and exile was drawing nearer and nearer.
"Wait a moment."
After speaking, she turned and left the room, heading straight for the ear chamber.
Her consciousness entered her space, and He Zhiran reluctantly took out all the unimportant items, piling them all over the floor of the ear chamber.
Although reluctant, thinking about exchanging these things for the treasures in the National Treasury, she became reconciled.
Returning to the wedding chamber, she looked at Mo Jiuye still sitting on the wedding bed: "Can you still walk?"
Mo Jiuye nimbly got up and put on his shoes. His inadvertent frown had already given away his pain at the moment.
He Zhiran said with concern: "I know some medical skills, why don't I take a look at you first?"
Mo Jiuye declined: "It's nothing, we have to hurry."
After speaking, he nimbly opened the wardrobe and took out two night raid outfits.
He threw one set to He Zhiran for her to change into, and put on the other set himself.
These clothes belonged to Mo Jiuye. Although a bit big on He Zhiran, they didn't affect her movement.
Mo Jiuye casually grabbed the soft sword hanging on the wall, and pulled He Zhiran to jump out the window together.
He Zhiran's feet had just touched the ground when she felt her body become airborne again.
The great hero praised by later generations was indeed well-deserved, his lightness skill was so incredible.
She saw him leap a few times, and they had already jumped out of the Duke's Mansion's perimeter.
He Zhiran considered her own skills in her previous life to be not bad, but she had only learned some close combat techniques. Compared to the real martial arts before her eyes, she was probably lacking more than just a little.
While He Zhiran was admiring Mo Jiuye's martial arts on her own, Mo Jiuye had already brought her to land in a somewhat dilapidated courtyard.
He Zhiran was full of disbelief, and softly asked: "You're saying the National Treasury is here?"
Mo Jiuye didn't answer, but led her into a room in the corner instead.
He adeptly walked to a fire kang that looked like it would collapse at any moment, and moved aside some bricks. A bottomless black hole appeared before the two.
Mo Jiuye softly explained: "This is the secret passage to the National Treasury."
He Zhiran really wanted to ask how he knew about this place, but remembering that she had just asked the other party not to pry into her secrets, she should also be able to do the same.
Therefore, the question that was about to slip out was swallowed back in an instant.
Following closely behind Mo Jiuye's footsteps, they entered the cave entrance.
Mo Jiuye didn't seem unfamiliar with this place at all. Although it was pitch black and nothing could be seen, he could walk without needing to feel his way at all.
