In other words, the so-called half of the national treasury’s wealth was entirely false. The Emperor had truly only granted the Lou Family half a warehouse of grain. The Lou Family, fearing damage to the Emperor’s divine reputation, sealed the treasury and instructed their descendants not to open it unless absolutely necessary!
After hundreds of years, the grain had long been eaten away by rats and insects, and the so-called treasury was nothing more than an empty shell!
“Hahaha…” After waiting so long, hoping for so long, planning for so long, disguising for so long, the result was actually like this. Li Xin held the sheepskin scroll, laughing madly until tears formed, until everything turned to ashes. Finally, “Pu—” he spat blood and slowly collapsed!
Jie’er had heard of many ways of dying but had never seen someone laugh themselves to death, and moreover, laugh with such unwillingness, such heartbreaking despair…
“People die for wealth, birds die for food” – wasn’t this precisely describing someone like him? It seemed Heaven still had eyes and could distinguish between good and bad people!
Before Jie’er could cry out in joy, she saw a figure beside her also falling – that was Lou Shan Yan. Ye Lu Sheng quickly reached out, catching his collar before he hit the ground and supporting him, but the person had already lost consciousness!
Jie’er gratefully glanced at Ye Lu Sheng, then anxiously called to the person in his hands: “A Yan, A Yan? Wake up! Hey, wake up!”
After calling for a long time with no response, she couldn’t help muttering, “Damn old medical master, actually deceiving me. He clearly said the poison would dissolve once the person who cast it died voluntarily. Now look – he’s half-dead!”
Ye Lu Sheng tried to comfort her: “Yue’er, don’t be anxious. Let Xu Ran take a look first. He might just be temporarily unconscious and probably won’t have any major issues…”
…
Lu Xiran looked at her with some surprise and said, “I didn’t know that Jie’er could do woodworking.”
Jie’er replied impatiently, “You don’t need to worry about that. In any case, if I say I can do it, I definitely will!”
