Chapter 6: Grandmother is Truly a Genius

That day was just like any other. Xiao Cui wasn’t going to make anything good for herself—after all, she had been sent down as punishment. And ever since she arrived at the manor, she hadn’t been given a single coin. At noon, all she could do was sip on some thin porridge.

“Little cabbage, oh, the ground is yellow… Can’t grow tall at all…”

Just as dusk settled, a knock sounded at the door. Nanny Du entered, handed something to the young miss, and then left without a word.

Bai Nuoli opened the box and instantly understood. This… Grandmother must be a transmigrator! And she was incredibly wealthy! These three maps marked locations where treasures were hidden.

As for how her grandmother had figured things out—who cared? It wasn’t important. What mattered were these dazzling white and golden treasures waiting for her!

The only issue… was Grandmother’s English skills. This mix of English and pinyin—only she could understand it. Even a genius would be baffled.

Originally, she had planned to try her luck with her grandfather since they were quite close to Feng’an County. But now, it seemed that treasure hunting had to come first.

Dressed in all black, Bai Nuoli prepared to head out. Before leaving, she sprinkled knockout powder around Xiao Cui to ensure she would stay asleep until well past sunrise. But she couldn’t let Nanny Du know about the drugging—there was no way to explain it.

The first treasure site was her immediate destination. Thankfully, she had teleportation abilities; otherwise, she’d probably drop dead from exhaustion before even finding anything.

Once inside her dimensional space, she placed the three maps on the screen, selected the nearest location, and teleported there.

Upon exiting the space, she found herself on a mountain. A forest—an excellent place to hide treasure.

Activating her psychic detection, she gasped in shock. My goodness! The ground is full of chests! But… why was there another treasure trove 200 meters away? That wasn’t marked on the map. Did it belong to someone else?

Well, too bad. Now it’s all mine.

With a thought, she collected everything into her space. She quickly entered the space as well—better safe than sorry. If the treasure chests left a massive hole behind, she didn’t want to risk falling in!

She moved on to the next location. The moment she stepped out of her space, she felt weak and uncomfortable. Looks like my psychic energy is still unstable, and my body is too weak. She hurriedly drank some diluted spiritual spring water to recover.

This stash was much smaller than the first—only about a hundred chests. The previous site had over three hundred, not even counting the extra eighty-something chests found 200 meters away!

She rushed to the last location and looted everything. Then, she returned to the manor. Before she could even check her spoils, she collapsed from exhaustion.

The next morning, the first thing she did was drug Nanny Du and Xiao Cui again. She had to see exactly how much she had collected and also study Grandmother’s warnings.

Entering her space, she saw over a thousand additional treasure chests piled up. She nearly went crazy with laughter. As expected of the richest family! They were practically drowning in wealth! She almost started drooling…

Treasurer Bai Nuoli, captivated by her newfound riches, opened the letter from her grandmother:

“My dear little girl, I don’t even know whether to call you Hou Ruobai or Bai Nuoli. But in the end, it’s just you, and that’s enough.”

“One of the treasure sites was originally meant to be your mother’s dowry. However, she insisted on leaving it for her children—no one else was allowed to have it. So we left it for you. That stash accounts for half of our family fortune.”

“The second site, the one with slightly less treasure, was originally one-tenth of our wealth. But knowing you would have great opportunities, I changed it to three-tenths instead.”

“As for the remaining two-tenths—one-tenth was the smallest stash, and the other was given to your grandfather. He never knew about this wealth. He always thought I squandered our money away, believing I was just a woman who loved to spend.”

“With only one-tenth of the fortune, he continued to make more money. I never told him the truth—not because I didn’t trust him, but because I knew him too well. If he had too much money on hand, he wouldn’t be able to hold onto it. He’d just end up getting scammed.”

“So I’ve entrusted it all to you. But you must promise me—take good care of your grandfather! Otherwise, all my concern for you will have been in vain.”

“Your grandfather will explain matters regarding the family. I’ll just tell you the crucial points. In my final days, I calculated that you will face confiscation of your family’s property, exile, droughts, and other disasters. You must plan ahead…”

“That’s all for now. One last piece of advice: If you bloom, the fragrance will come naturally. Never forget your true self! And no matter what, never abandon who you are just to fit into this era. No matter what happens, Grandmother will always support you!”
