Looking for you in reincarnation

Chapter 430: Leaving the City Late at Night

However, the master was more taciturn today and there was no quarrel. Only the old lady's voice was heard, but no one thought much of it.

Not long after Si He left Fuhetang, the sound of a cup breaking was heard in the room again.

"Snapped!"

"boom!"

Following the sound of the cup being smashed, there was another loud noise, as if tables and chairs had fallen over, and then the old lady's anxious shouting was heard.

"Someone is coming! Someone is coming quickly!"

All of a sudden, the servants waiting outside rushed into the house, and then saw the master of the eldest house fell to the ground, bleeding from his head, and seemed to have fainted, motionless.

It was obvious that he was knocked unconscious, as there were still a lot of cup fragments on the ground.

The servants were shocked and rushed forward to check what happened. Fortunately, nothing serious happened, just fainting.

The servants hurriedly helped Guo Shuangjiang up and then went to call a doctor.

After a while, Mrs. Guo and others rushed over after hearing the news. When they saw that her husband was knocked unconscious, Mrs. Guo was furious and immediately started arguing with the old lady.

For a moment, Fuhetang was in chaos again.

When the doctor came, people from the second and third wives also came. They were very shocked because Guo Shuangjiang was the eldest son and was usually the most valued by the old lady. But now he was knocked unconscious by the old lady?

But when asked the reason, the old lady just said that she was so angry that she smashed the cup because he contradicted her.

The old lady was their elder, so they couldn't say anything. Only Mrs. Guo was furious and didn't give up her dignity at all, and had a big argument with the old lady.

Mrs. Guo and the old lady didn't calm down until the doctor came to check the condition.

However, after examining him for a long time, the doctor gave a not-so-good conclusion, saying that he had sustained a brain injury and that all they could do was wait for him to wake up.

This situation made the atmosphere even more solemn.

Mrs. Guo burst into tears, the old lady had a sullen face, and everyone had different expressions.

……

Compared to the chaos and undercurrents in the Guo family at this time, Xiangxueyuan was as calm as ever, and no one cared about her at this time.

Si He soon heard about what happened next in Fuhetang, but she pretended not to know and stayed in the yard honestly.

It was not until nightfall that she changed into a comfortable plain dress and tied her hair up.

Gao You and Gao Zi couldn't help but widen their eyes when they saw her like this.

She said, "I'm going out for a while. You two stay in Xiangxue Courtyard and don't let anyone in. I'll try to come back as soon as possible."

Gao You was a little worried, "Miss, what are you going to do? You can tell us to do it."

Gao Zi also nodded.

Si He smiled lightly, "No need."

After saying this, she took up a cloth and wrapped her face and neck, then blew out the candle in the inner room, then jumped out of the side window, and disappeared into the dark night in the blink of an eye.

Gao You had no choice but to close the window lightly, while Gao Zi went to the bed, stuffed the pillow into the quilt, lowered the bed curtains, and finally took a pair of shoes and placed them on the footstool under the bed, making it look as if he was asleep.

The city is silent at night.

On the streets, except for some high-hanging lanterns lighting the way, most houses have extinguished their candles, and many alleys are even pitch black.

Patrolling officers walked slowly and orderly on the wide streets, guarding the city's public security.

After Si He quietly left the Guo family, she avoided the bright and wide streets and walked into the dark alleys.

If her wedding date wasn't approaching and she couldn't go out casually, and if she wasn't going far away from Zhongzhou after getting married, she wouldn't be running around so late at night.

However, the Guo family's treasury is still worth her trip.

One of the things she had previously negotiated with the remnant soul was to transfer most of the Guo family's money and store it outside the city.

The old lady's status means she has the final say in the Guo family. Under her tough attitude, the three sons have no choice but to obey.

The main issue was that a large sum of banknotes had been lost from the treasury, which had caused quite a stir in the Guo family some time ago. Mrs. Guo, the first wife, held the key to the treasury, and the banknotes had been lost during this time. Although something sinister had occurred, the second and third wives refused to believe it, believing the first wife had embezzled the treasury's funds.

Therefore, during this period, the several branches of the Guo family had a lot of quarrels over this matter. Therefore, the old lady temporarily transferred the power of managing the family to the second branch.

The remnant soul approached the old lady in the identity of Red Sparrow and took over her body, which led to the previous events.

The housekeeper power of the eldest house was temporarily gone, but the matter of transferring money from the public treasury was handed over to the eldest house. It seemed that the old lady still favored the eldest house, so the eldest house did not have such a big objection.

The transfer of the public treasury was able to proceed smoothly. Originally, they would not agree to such an unreasonable thing. How could the money be kept outside as safely as in the Guo family?

However, the Guo family has had too many problems recently, and has been plagued by evil spirits, resulting in the loss of hundreds of thousands of taels of silver notes. So after some consideration, they decided to transfer the property from the public treasury at the same time.

This amount of property can be said to account for 70% of the Guo family's assets. It is a huge fortune. If it is lost, the Guo family will be seriously injured.

Si He walked quickly all the way, sometimes running fast in the alleys, sometimes leaping on the roofs, hiding in the darkness, like a bat flying through the night, very fast and silent.

After a while, she arrived at the city wall.

The walls of this city are much higher than those of other cities, but it is not a problem for her.

She wandered around for a while, found a corner of the wall with weak defense and dim light, jumped up, climbed up the city wall silently, and then quietly landed without alerting the stationed officers.

After leaving the city, she did not take the official road, but went into the woods on the edge of the city, leaping all the way to the place indicated by Guo Shuangjiang.

The place where the public treasury's property was hidden was in a mountain villa thirty miles outside the city.

The mountains surrounding the villa are all the territory of the Guo family. They are used specifically for raising livestock. At the same time, many houses have been built here, which are usually used to temporarily store some goods.

So when Guo Shuangjiang had boxes of things shipped over, no one thought much about it and just thought they were ordinary goods.

However, the boxes filled with gold and silver were not stored in the house where goods were stored, but were transported to a closed cave in the mountains through a tunnel under the house.

While Guo Shuangjiang was transporting the things here, he was also on guard against the people from the second and third houses, so he set up another escort team as a cover, making it look like the things were being transported to another city.

It was precisely because of Guo Shuangjiang's careful thinking that not many people knew the inside story. Some of the porters were even sold by him to remote places.

Except for Guo Shuangjiang and a few managers, even the Guo family members didn't know about this closed cave.

She came here today to take care of some things.

However, before she got close to the mountain, she suddenly stopped and reached for the brocade bag in her pocket.

Because she noticed the bone beads in the brocade bag and suddenly reacted.
