Chapter 3 - Chapter 3

Li Xinyue quickly sorted out her thoughts. She had transmigrated; this medical office was the so-called transmigration golden finger.

Li Xinyue softly said, "Go out," to quickly grasp the operation of this space.

Sure enough, her body reappeared in the dowry storage room.

She first grabbed a box and moved it with her thoughts, and her whole person and the box reappeared in the space, which showed that this space allowed external objects to enter.

After putting down the box, Li Xinyue left the dowry room and returned to the bridal chamber.

Although she had the space, she had to formulate a reasonable plan before the imperial edict of exile was issued to carry more supplies.

Li Xinyue sat on the bridal bed and pondered.

If the historical records were correct, Qin Yichen was called to the imperial palace in the early morning and was carried back unconscious, with only one breath left.

It was said that less than an hour after Qin Yichen returned to the mansion, the emperor sent troops to surround the Marquis of Protector's mansion and issued an imperial edict to confiscate the family's property and exile them.

Li Xinyue looked at the clock in the space, which already showed 10 pm.

At most, 10 hours are left before the imperial edict is issued.

Li Xinyue plans to make full use of the remaining time.

With this idea in mind, she flashed into space, rummaged around, and found a camouflage suit that she often wore on missions in her previous life.

Li Xinyue changed into camouflage, neatly coiled her hair into a simple bun, put on climbing claws and wire, and slipped out of the yard, evading the maidservants' sight.

Li Xinyue nimbly climbed a thick, big tree to observe the Marquis of Protector's mansion terrain.

Standing on the big tree and looking around, Li Xinyue initially determined that the courtyard she was in was slightly west, and she needed to go east to get to the area with denser courtyards.

However, she did not do so.

From the environment, Li Xinyue analysed that the courtyards in the east should be the residences of the sisters-in-law and mothers-in-law. Even if there were some valuables there, they were the private possessions of individuals.

However, given the current urgent situation, it would be easier to find the warehouse than to ransack the courtyards one by one like a thief.

Determined, Li Xinyue groped her way west.

As expected of the Marquis of Protector's mansion, the guards were extremely strict.

Also, Li Xinyue encountered several guards patrolling with weapons occasionally.

And she found that the more west she went, the more guards there were.

Using her skills from her previous life, she came to a courtyard using anti-reconnaissance techniques.

It couldn't be called a courtyard but rather a relatively large house.

Observing from a distance, Li Xinyue found two guards guarding it.

Without a doubt, Li Xinyue guessed that there must be something important here, most likely the warehouse of the Marquis of Protector's mansion.

She grabbed a small pebble from the ground to divert the guards and threw it towards the nearby pond.

The pebble fell into the pond with a "plop" sound, which was particularly abrupt in this quiet night.

"Who's there?"

The guard quickly noticed something wrong and ran towards the pond with his weapon.

Li Xinyue dared not delay and immediately came to the front of the house.

Naturally, there would be an iron lock where there were guards.

Without thinking twice, Li Xinyue's consciousness quickly entered the space, took out the finest pointed tweezers, turned the tweezers in the keyhole a few times, and the lock opened.

Taking advantage of the guards having yet to return, Li Xinyue opened the door and entered at the fastest speed.

It was pitch black inside, and in the dim moonlight, she could see that the surroundings were all shelves.

Li Xinyue had no time to check carefully. She just reached out and touched the items on the nearest shelf. They felt slippery, like some fabric.

There was no doubt that this was the warehouse of the Marquis of Protector's mansion.

To save time, Li Xinyue used her mind to move all the items in the warehouse into the space, leaving only the shelves that held the items.

Just as she had finished collecting the items here, the guards who had gone to check the situation came back.

"I think you're just too nervous. There's no one there, making us rush over for nothing."

"I heard movement by the pond."

"There are plenty of frogs this season. Jumping into the pond could make that sound."

"Alright, alright. I was overthinking it. Let's not argue; let's stand guard properly."

The two guards had returned, and now Li Xinyue needed to consider how to leave unnoticed.

After thinking for a moment, she suddenly remembered that a new mini drone was still in the space.

With a strategy in mind, Li Xinyue nimbly leapt onto the roof beam, gently pried open a tile, and removed the drone.

Skillfully manipulating the drone, she flew it to a place further away. When she felt the distance was about right, she used the remote control again to turn on the drone's laser light and sound wave.

The guard, who had just found a place to stand, was instantly attracted by the sound and saw a beam of white light shooting at a particular courtyard.

"What's that?"

"There's an assassin."

"Let's go check it out quickly."

Listening to the guard's footsteps getting farther away, Li Xinyue quickly left the warehouse, not forgetting to re-lock the lock.

Running to a safe distance, she leapt onto a big tree and used the remote control to turn off the drone's laser light and sound wave, believing those people would naturally come back after failing to find the target.

Sure enough, after circling and finding nothing until the light disappeared, the guards reluctantly returned to the front of the warehouse door.

"It feels strange tonight. Nothing will happen, right?"

"I feel very weird, too. Should we report to the Marquis ?"

"How dare you have the gall to disturb the Marquis on his wedding night in the bridal chamber?"

"You're right. Let's discuss it tomorrow morning, as long as the warehouse is safe."

Seeing that the two guards had completely lowered their vigilance, Li Xinyue nimbly jumped down from the tree, manoeuvred the drone back into her hands, then put it away in space.
