Farm Girl Turns Everything Around: Sly Husband, Let's Farm

Chapter 926: Chapter 926 No Reason to Hide_1 Chapter 926: Chapter 926 No Reason to Hide_1 Yang Wenxiao listened to Yang Hao’s concerns and looked at Tong Tiehu and his grandson, “Tell me, is it possible that the treasure was buried beneath the manor?”

A look of nervousness appeared on Tong Tiehu’s face as he hurriedly shook his head, “Your Highness, when Xiaomai decided to build the Courtyard over there, it had nothing to do with my Tong Family. The reason she chose that location was that it was surrounded by three mounds and close to a stream. She wanted to plant some fruit there, as the terrain was convenient.”

“I believe you, but others may not,” Yang Wenxiao said.

Tong Tiehu, “…Surely we can’t just dig up a home that’s just been built, can we?”

“Last time Xiaomai’s home was dug up, it was done by Cen Hong. They didn’t find any clues, so they turned their attention to the manor. With today’s event, so many onlookers were present. What they’ll say after they leave is uncertain.”

Tong Tiehu “…”

“It seems that only the true revelation of the treasure can quell this turmoil,” Yang Hao spoke up.

“But where is this true treasure?” Yang Wenxiao said, his gaze sweeping back and forth over Tong Tiehu and his grandson.

He had thought at the time that it was Liuli’s heir who had taken the treasure away.

But if it was Liuli’s heir, why had there been no contact with him in the past six months?

They should have come to him to discuss the next plan.

Could it be that there was no heir at all, and the Tong Family had moved the treasure themselves?

Feeling the steadfast gaze of his grandfather and Yang Wenxiao, Tong Tiehu and his grandson could only feel as if a sword was hanging over their heads, suspended by a hair, ready to snap at the slightest breath of wind.

Tong Tiehu’s back was covered in a cold sweat, “Your Highness, my Tong Family has no reason to hide this treasure, absolutely no reason.”

Initially unaware of Liuli’s plan, Xiaomai had hastily put away the treasure in her space, which made things ambiguous.

Misguidance of a stepmother!

“Indeed, if the treasure isn’t made public, you could quietly become wealthy. But now that your identities have been revealed, the treasure has become a curse,” Yang Wenxiao pondered briefly and indeed couldn’t find a reason for the Tong Family to hide the treasure.

The cache of treasure, with the silver already spent, only left some gold, the rest being antiques, calligraphy, and paintings along with exquisite ornaments, each item recorded in a ledger. If they were to appear, he’d be notified immediately.

Of this cache of treasure, the only thing the Tong Family could truly use was the gold.

But the Tong Family wasn’t plotting a revolt, and with an earning daughter-in-law like Xiaomai, the gold was of no use to them.

Because of this cache of treasure, they could no longer live peaceful lives and were even at risk of losing their lives.

Surely this family wouldn’t do such a thing as to throw away the watermelon to pick up sesame seeds.

“Here’s what we’ll do: I’ll send more guards to strengthen the security here. You should also be more cautious in your daily activities,” he said.

Upon hearing this, Tong Tiehu and his grandson quickly expressed their gratitude.

“The guards I send can only ward off ordinary people. Someone like Cen Hong, an expert, they cannot stop. Tong Tiehu, be more vigilant in your daily life,” Yang Wenxiao added.

Tong Tiehu assented.

The safety of his family was naturally his top priority.

However, this meant that he could no longer engage in marital activities with Xiaomai at night; he couldn’t afford to sleep soundly.

He wondered when the Water Drop Pendant would completely disappear.

Tomorrow, Chun would go to the Capital City for the imperial examination, and he must find an opportunity to toss the treasure out.

This was no treasure, it was a death knell.

After the tour of the secret tunnel, Yang Wenxiao went to look at Liuli’s grave again. By the time the group descended the mountain, the sky had already darkened completely.

Returning to the manor side, Xiaomai had already prepared a sumptuous dinner.
