Chapter 2 System Alert

No one expected the Second Madam to suddenly make a scene, and the whole scene was silent.

The Second Madam fell so hard that she couldn't get up for a long time.

"Mom, are you okay?"

The Second Young Master Ling Luo was worried, and took advantage of the Jinyiwei who was holding him and struggled to break free from the big hand that was holding him, and hurried to the Second Madam.

The Second Young Lady was weak and couldn't break free. In anger, she yelled at Ling Chu, "Sister, my mother is an elder after all, how could you make her fall? People say that you are unlucky with your relatives, but I didn't believe it at first, but you just returned home today, and our whole family is in trouble. Why don't you stay in Xuanqing Temple and come back to hurt people..."

Hearing what the Second Madam and Ling Luo said, everyone looked at Ling Chu with indifference, disgust, fear... but no concern.

The First Madam was originally protecting the Third Young Lady Ling Qing tightly, and she paused when she heard this.

She turned her head and looked at the eldest daughter with a worried look.

However, no one noticed that something seemed to flash in her eyes.

Ling Chu raised her eyes and calmly swept her eyes over Dong who was protecting the third lady and the eldest master who was supporting the lady. There was no ripple in her heart towards these parents.

She turned her head and glanced at the second lady coldly, and said in a cold voice, "Your mother fell down, but it was not my fault. She asked for it. As for the confiscation of the house, it has nothing to do with me. This is my first time back home today, so don't try to pin the crime on me. If you don't welcome me back, then I'll leave."

Seeing Ling Chu turn around and leave, the second lady was very angry, "You are a disaster star. You have hurt our whole family so badly. You still want to leave, don't even think about it."

Ling Chu stopped.

But it was not because the second lady didn't let her go.

It was because the Jinyiwei commander with a murderous face happened to block her way.

Ling Chu raised her eyes and glanced at him. Seeing that he didn't speak, she was about to go around him and walk out.

Unexpectedly, the Commander Ning took the initiative to make way.

Ling Chu was surprised, but when he looked up, he found that the yard outside was full of Jinyiwei with embroidered spring swords on their waists.

Ling Chu twitched her lips. She knew very well that the commander did not intend to let her leave. The reason why he kindly made way was because he knew that she could not leave the residence of the Minister of Revenue.

Ling Chu could not help but look up and glare at him, but she could not blame this lifesaver, so she could only walk out without saying a word.

When Ning Chuyi saw Ling Chu, he had already found out that she was the girl he saved on the way back to Beijing.

But he didn't expect that she turned out to be the granddaughter of the Minister of Revenue.

But even if he knew it now, he didn't take it to heart.

The second wife finally got up and wanted to go forward to make trouble for Ling Chu.

But the Commander Ning coldly ordered his Jinyiwei to take everyone outside.

Although they were unwilling, how could the people in the Shangshu Mansion be able to defeat these highly skilled Jinyiwei?

Under the shoving, these pampered people were in a mess.

Especially seeing Ling Chu standing aside as if nothing had happened, everyone stared at her with anger.

Shangshu Ling was forced to be taken to the yard, and said to Commander Ning with an angry face, "Sir Ning, you are so humiliating, I will report you to the emperor..."

Ning Chuyi did not take his threat seriously, and ordered his men in a cold voice, "Search the whole mansion, and make sure to find the silver."

The Jinyiwei received the order and immediately rushed into the house.

Seeing this, everyone was anxious and angry, and instinctively wanted to rush forward to stop the Jinyiwei from searching.

But the Jinyiwei who stayed behind to take charge of the guards drew out their embroidered spring swords.

Seeing the murderous look on the Jinyiwei's faces, everyone was timid and dared not make trouble again.

She didn't have the courage to get angry at the Jinyiwei, but the second wife turned around and wanted to vent her anger at Ling Chu.

But as soon as she opened her mouth, the Jinyiwei next to her said coldly, "Whoever dares to make trouble again, don't blame me for not having eyes for the knife in my hand."

The second wife choked and could only stop unwillingly.

Ling Chu glanced at her casually and didn't bother to pay attention to her.

She sighed in her heart. The original owner had lived in Xuanqing Temple since she was a child. She had never seen these relatives, let alone know.

As for her, let alone.

After crossing over, she was on the road for the first two days and returned to the Shangshu Mansion last night.

So, like the original owner, she didn't know any of these relatives.

She couldn't judge whether her grandfather really embezzled three million taels.

However, since Commander Ning had produced evidence, whether this matter was true or not, I'm afraid that the whole mansion would be doomed.

Although Ling Chu was worried, he had no way to do it.

Time passed in the agonizing wait, and the Jinyiwei brought many boxes and cages over one after another.

However, in those boxes, in addition to valuable collections such as calligraphy and paintings, porcelain, and so on, only 50,000 taels of silver were found.

Commander Ning glanced at the boxes expressionlessly and said coldly, "Minister Ling, I advise you to hand over the silver as soon as possible, otherwise I don't mind demolishing your mansion."

Minister Ling was originally worried, but it can be seen that the boxes carried by the Jinyiwei had already dispelled his uneasiness.

"You have already searched. There are only 30,000 or 40,000 taels of silver in my mansion. Where did the millions come from? I, Ling Mao, have been an official for many years. Although I can't say that I am incorruptible, I am definitely not a corrupt person."

Seeing that Minister Ling still had this attitude, Commander Ning could only order another search of the entire mansion.

But those Jinyiwei almost turned the whole Shangshu Mansion upside down. Apart from the little silver and collections in the public palace, they only found the dowry of several wives.

As for the three million taels, it was still missing.

Shangshu Ling put his worries back in his stomach, and was already thinking about how to report to the emperor.

"Sir Ning, has the silver been found?" At this moment, a big eunuch holding a whisk was walking quickly, followed by two little eunuchs.

Just when Ling Chu saw the three eunuchs, the system that had disappeared since the time travel suddenly appeared and frantically warned in his mind.

[Ding! System upgrade completed. ]

[Warn the host! Warn the host! ! Warn the host! ! ! ]

[Level 1 danger detected, please handle it immediately! ]

Ling Chu's face changed, and he quickly used his consciousness to call up the virtual screen, and then quickly clicked to open the received warning message.

The content of the message was not long, only a few short lines of bold and enlarged red font, but it was as shocking as blood.

[Name: Ling Chu]

[Remaining life: One hour]

[Cause of death: Grandfather embezzled a huge amount of money, the whole family was beheaded! ]

[Triggering the house search mission. ]

[Host, please complete the mission, find the embezzled silver, and change your fate. ]

[Mission failed, host will be beheaded, the system will automatically release. ]

According to the system scan, the eunuch is holding the emperor's decree of beheading.

Ling Chu hesitated.

Should she follow the system's warning, complete the mission, and save her life?

Or take the opportunity to die and see if she can take the opportunity to travel back to the modern era?
