Ning Yue couldn’t take it anymore. After hearing so much about the An family tonight, she would be letting her grandmother down if she didn’t do something!

Ning Yue handed the two children to Madam He. “Mother, help me take care of the two children tonight. I have to enter the palace with Master for the next two days. I’m worried that I’ll disturb them.”

“Okay, have a good rest.” Madam He happily took the children back to her room.

In the dead of night, Ning Yue changed her clothes, put on her mask, and quietly left the room.

When she arrived at the An Residence, she looked at the dazzling door and couldn’t help but sneer.

“An family, oh An family. Just wait.” Ning Yue sneered and walked around to the back door.

After observing her surroundings and making sure that no one was around, she climbed up the wall and took out a few packets of medicinal powder from her space before jumping down.

The Marquis of the An’s Residence was much larger than the General’s Residence. Even the pavilion in the courtyard was inlaid with gold.

“He’s really rich. I wonder how many of these things were plundered,” Ning Yue sighed.

She took the powder and looked at the wind. Standing at the downwind, she sprinkled the powder.

After putting the plastic bag containing the medicine into her space, she put on her gas mask and swaggered around until she finally found the storeroom of the Marquis of An’s Residence.

When she opened the storeroom, Ning Yue was stunned.

The Marquis of An’s Residence was much richer than the General’s Residence. The items in this storeroom were almost blinding her.

“Alright, the An family’s warehouse is comparable to the national treasury. It’s indeed not a good thing.” Ning Yue gritted her teeth.

If she didn’t take all these things away today and let them experience what it meant to fall from heaven to hell, it would be a waste of her trip today.

She put all these things into her space and walked around outside. She took away the gold inlaid in the pavilion and the lotus seeds planted in the pond.

She took all the teapots, cups, and jewelry in everyone’s room.

Finally, Ning Yue arrived at the door of the study.

She looked doubtfully at the study door.

Just as she walked around, she realized that almost all the guards in the Marquis of An’s Residence were arranged to be in the courtyard of the masters. There was not a single guard in the study.

Could it be that the secret was not in the study but in the house? That did not make sense.

At the thought of this, Ning Yue took out a pair of medical gloves from her space, put on her protective suit, and opened the study.

As soon as the door opened, Ning Yue was stunned.

It was so dark in the study that she couldn’t see anything. This darkness was extraordinary.

Logically speaking, there was moonlight tonight. Under the moonlight, one could more or less see everything within half a meter.

But now, not to mention half a meter, she couldn’t even see a centimeter.

Ning Yue took out a flashlight from her space and shone it into the study.

The moment the flashlight lit up, she could see the entire study clearly. However, after a while, the light from the flashlight seemed to shine on an obstacle, and she couldn’t see anything clearly.

There was something strange in the study!

At the thought of this, Ning Yue decided not to enter. The situation inside was unknown, so who knew what would happen if she entered?

Ning Yue put away her flashlight and prepared to go back. She took off her protective suit and gloves and climbed over the wall to leave.

However, after walking for a while, she turned back.

She did not have a good impression of the Marquis of An’s Residence. After making her grandmother suffer so much, the money she had taken was not enough to pay interest!

Ning Yue simply took off the plaque of the Marquis of An’s Residence.

She had wanted to remove the door directly, but on second thought, it would cause a huge commotion. It wouldn’t be good if others found out.

After doing all this, Ning Yue did not go straight home. Instead, she walked around the city and made sure that no one was following her before returning home.

She changed her clothes and quickly fell asleep.

The next morning, Madam He knocked on the door early in the morning.

“Yueyue, what does the Empress Dowager like to eat? What should I prepare this early?” Madam He asked nervously.

If it were any other time, she would have just cooked casually. However, it was different now. The Empress Dowager was living in their house, so she couldn’t do it casually.

“Mother, the Empress Dowager is used to eating delicacies in the palace. No matter how good the food is, she won’t be able to eat anything fancy. Just make some home-cooked dishes. Let the Empress Dowager change her taste.”

“Really? Home-cooked food is too shabby.” Madam He hesitated.

“Mother, don’t think too much. Why don’t I do it with you?” Ning Yue said with a smile.

“Alright, then come with me,” Madam He said happily.

Ning Yue secretly took out the pastry powder used to make crispy meat and secretly placed it in the kitchen where the seasonings were.

“Mother, we have to cut the meat first.” With that, Ning Yue picked up her knife and began to cut the meat.
