Chapter 4: Emptying the Prime Minister’s Residence

Su Qingning lifted a roof tile to take a look, shocked to the core, feeling as if her eyes had been sullied by misfortune.

Below, the lights were bright and the air thick with foulness. Aunt Shen’s eldest son, Su Chengzhi, was playing a game of “Blindfolded Capture the Concubine” with a few young servants.

In his twenties, Su Chengzhi was plump with a round face. He wore a pair of pink underpants that he didn’t know belonged to whom, and he ran around the room without a stitch of clothing.

The four young servants were similarly scantily clad, quacking like a duck as they dodged and hid in the room.

“Young master~ come catch me~ come catch me~ if you catch me, I’ll let you have your fun~”

Su Chengzhi took a few steps forward with a “duang duang duang,” grabbing hold of a young servant who was trying to escape, grinning crookedly.

“Little rascal~ let’s see where you can run!”

In the next instant, all the luxurious furnishings in the room, the clothes thrown on the floor, the ‘toys,’ along with everything Su Chengzhi was wearing and the underpants on his head vanished without a trace.

The once splendid Qingfeng Courtyard was left with only a few bare walls.

Even the meticulously cared-for lawn in the courtyard was uprooted in an instant, leaving behind a patch of uneven dirt.

“Ah—”

Chaos erupted in the room, with several young servants, naked, clutching their heads and fleeing.

“Ghost—there’s a ghost—no… it can’t be… has the lady returned?”

“Nonsense! How could there be a ghost! That wretched Gu has long gone to hell! You fools! Hurry and help this young master up?!”

“Bang—”

The chamber pot in the corner of the room suddenly vanished into thin air and then fell from above, landing squarely on Su Chengzhi’s head. The filth inside splattered all over his face.

“Ah—”

“Yue—yue—what are you still standing there for?! Hurry and get this pot off me, yue—”

Su Chengzhi’s head was too large, stuck directly in the chamber pot. As he opened his mouth to cry for help, the filth inside began to pour in. He gagged while trying to call for help.

Choking, tears and snot streamed down his face. The penetrating stench shot straight to the top of his head, making him tremble in disgust.

The young servants exerted all their strength to pull Su Chengzhi’s head out of the pot.

As soon as he was exposed to fresh air, Su Chengzhi shouted in a panic.

“Scoundrels! Scoundrels! How dare anyone play tricks on this young master! Search for them; if you catch that dog thief, beat him to death with a rod!”

“Bang—”

A black spirit tablet struck Su Chengzhi’s forehead and fell to the ground.

He couldn’t care less about the swelling bump on his head; upon seeing the wooden plaque inscribed with “The Position of the Deceased Wife Gu,” he was immediately scared to the point of losing control.

“Ah ah ah—ghost! Gu, don’t come looking for me! It was… it was Aunt Shen who made me give you the poison! It has nothing to do with me! Don’t come looking for me!”

Su Qingning quietly watched the chaos in the room, a cold smile forming in her heart.

The original owner’s mother, Gu, was the daughter of a wealthy merchant. However, the worthless father was a poor country boy who relied on his father-in-law’s support to study. After passing the imperial examination, he ignored Gu, allowing his childhood friend, Aunt Shen, to bully the original wife.

In the end, Gu suffered a tragic fate, poisoned by Aunt Shen and her son.

What she was doing now was merely collecting some interest from them.

The blood feud of the original owner, she would definitely take back bit by bit!

Su Qingning’s figure flickered and she appeared in Aunt Shen’s room.

At this moment, Aunt Shen had already gone to bed. The room was decorated in extreme luxury, with precious fragrances wafting in the air.

Aunt Shen used to be a poor village woman. After causing Gu’s death, she took advantage of the original owner’s youth and ignorance to claim Gu’s substantial dowry for herself.

All the valuable items in this room, except for a small portion that Su Chengxiang had embezzled over the years, were the original owner’s mother’s dowry!

Su Qingning showed no mercy and tossed a packet of potent sleeping powder onto the bed.

Then, with a wave of her hand, everything in the room was swept away.

“Bang—”

The luxurious canopy bed, along with all the sheets and blankets, was taken, causing Aunt Shen to fall directly to the floor, completely unaware, snoring loudly.

Su Qingning stepped forward, grabbed Aunt Shen’s hair, and poured some freckle powder, rash powder, and wrinkle powder from her space onto her face.

Didn’t you enjoy pushing people to the brink, forcing the original owner and her mother to live worse than death?

Now, I’ll let you experience what it truly means to live worse than death!

Hmm, it seems I poured too much on the left side; let’s add some more to the right…

Hmm… now there’s more on the right, better add a bit to the left.

Oh no… just a little slip, my hand shook. Now it’s all spilled…

With an innocent expression, Su Qingning dumped three times the amount of rash powder onto Aunt Shen’s face.

Finally, she flicked the packaging bag to shake out the remaining powder inside.

How beautiful, how beautiful! This sexy sausage mouth, this undulating little face, these features like a poor mountain and evil water…

I guarantee your childhood sweetheart will be confused when he sees you!

With another flash, she arrived at Aunt Shen’s private stash.

Su Qingning directly collected all the mountain-like piles of clothes, jewelry, and daily necessities into her space.

She had no interest in using the used clothes, underwear, or menstrual pads.

But she couldn’t leave them for them either, so she had Xiao Ai clear out a room specifically for storing these filthy items. They would find a place to dispose of them together later.

In just a few breaths, Aunt Shen’s Luomei Courtyard was left barren, with only three cockroaches lying sprawled at the entrance.

Su Qingning glanced at the cockroaches and strode away.

She couldn’t be too ruthless. When Aunt Shen woke up in the morning without food, she could at least chew on these three pests, so she wouldn’t starve to death.

Sigh—your sister Su is just this kind-hearted~

With another flash, Su Qingning arrived on the rooftop of her half-sister Su Qingyin’s room.

Inside, the candlelight flickered as a maid was helping Su Qingyin remove her makeup.

As soon as she stabilized herself, she heard a deliberately lowered discussion coming from inside.

Su Qingning crouched on the roof, pressing her ear against the tiles to vaguely make out the conversation inside.

Upon hearing it, she was enraged, her fists cracking with tension!
