Such wickedness, truly such wickedness!

In order to seize their ancestral home and farmlands, they designed such a sinister plot, what’s the difference from beasts?

It’s truly insane!

Li Qingmu’s face turned slightly cold. After thinking for a moment, he said, "They must have been coveting your ancestral home and farm for quite some time, haven’t they?"

The woman was surprised, she looked up at him, hesitation was evident in her eyes.

Li Qingmu didn’t rush her, simply gazing at her quietly.

The woman hesitated for a long time, lowering her gaze, observing her nose, observing her mouth, observing her heart, clearly there was an unspeakable secret among them.

"Mom, mom, the buns are so good, I want more, I’m hungry..."

Just then, the soft voice of a boy came to her ears, the woman snapped back to reality, looking at her son’s pitiful eyes, a wave of bitterness surged up.

She looked up at Li Qingmu: "Benefactor, today you’ve been a lifesaver to us mother and son. Since you asked, I will tell you. To be honest, five years ago, someone had their eyes on our ancestral home and farm, came to talk to us several times, but at that time they were always changing people to talk to us, and those faces were unfamiliar, so we didn’t pay much attention..."

The woman paused for a moment, considering carefully what to say next.

Li Qingmu didn’t hurry, simply waited.

The woman continued: "Under our ancestral home, it’s said there might be a treasure site, but what exactly it is, I’m not sure, I just heard about the treasure underneath once from them, other than that, I don’t know much."

Long Yue was slightly stunned. A treasure site? That was quite peculiar. Not to mention them, even Long Yue was surprised for a while.

After all, this Liuzhou City wasn’t known as a place for royalty or nobility, where would a treasure site come from?

But since people had their eyes on it, it suggests her family’s ancestral land underneath was not simple.

Long Yue turned to look at Li Qingmu, then the woman: "Under your ancestral home is a treasure site, then it surely isn’t an ordinary treasure site. Do you know specifically what it is?"

"I... I don’t know; it’s just that I heard my in-laws mention it before, but as a daughter-in-law, it’s not appropriate to ask too much."

Long Yue nodded slightly, that was indeed the rule, as a daughter-in-law one should ask less and do more.

But this led to them now wanting to inquire about something but couldn’t get an answer.

"However, I heard it’s a..." The woman hesitated, she seemed particularly torn about saying it, "It’s a tomb..."

Uh, a tomb?

Building an ancestral home atop a tomb, wouldn’t it feel eerie?

Isn’t this bad feng shui?

But then again, some houses do need to be built on tombs so that it can bring shelter to the descendants, but this generally has a connection with the family. Could it be that the woman’s husband’s family had ancestors who were prestigious?

"What did those people say to you?"

"They just asked how much our house would sell for, also said they would offer a high price, as long as we were willing to sell."

Long Yue furrowed her brows slightly, this was of no use at all, couldn’t find any useful information, seems like this matter needs to be clarified by asking Wu Family members.

"Alright then, we’re staying at the nearby inn, so if you don’t have anywhere to go, you can stay next to us, I’ll speak to the shopkeeper."

"Stay at the inn? This... how could we possibly..."

They mother and son had nothing on them, the inn money would naturally be paid by Li Qingmu and Long Yue, but they were strangers, how could they trouble others like this?

Long Yue smiled gently and shook her head: "It’s alright, just consider it fate, you just rest easy."

"That... that’s good!"

The woman smiled timidly, then returned to the inn with Long Yue and the others.

On the way back, Long Yue inquired about their specific location, it was at number three Shili Lane in the south of Liuzhou City.

"A Mu, I’m planning to visit their ancestral home, maybe I’ll find something else?"

In the room, Long Yue and Li Qingmu discussed.

"Alright, I have thought so too, for a house to cause such a stir and even lead to collusion with officials and merchants, all for that piece of land, it’s evident the things below it aren’t simple."

The two of them now had confidence with skill, in the past, they would surely discuss then set a date, prepare thoroughly before going, but now, they can go anytime without mental burden.

That night as dusk fell, Long Yue and Li Qingmu headed south toward the city.

Shili Lane was a very long alley, and number three practically bordered the outskirts. According to the location provided by the woman, the large house at number three was their ancestral land, and further south was their manor.

The two were quite close in distance.

When Li Qingmu and Long Yue arrived at this number three house, they found it sealed off, even the plaque was gone, didn’t even know what the family name was.

Of course, these weren’t the key points.

The key point was, Li Qingmu keenly discovered, the path leading to the southern manor from the house was perfectly centered!

"Yue’er, this is indeed a tomb, and a large one at that. You see, this is the central axis extending from the house’s center, it should be a passage into this underground tomb, I think the entrance is inside this house. And going this way, it’s all tomb."

Li Qingmu casually sketched, the route became clear.

Long Yue nodded slightly, "Right, that’s roughly it, now let’s go inside to see, maybe we can find the entrance? Should I sense it?"

"Alright!"

The house’s gate was sealed, which didn’t stop Long Yue and Li Qingmu as they leaped over and entered the house.

The house was kept very clean, whether it was flowers, grass, or courtyard windows, although left unattended for a while, it still wasn’t too messy, at most some mild dust.

The couple entered the courtyard and began searching.

"Where do you think the entrance to this underground tomb might be?"

"If my guess is correct, it should be over by the East Wing, come on, let’s go see!"

Immediately, the couple headed to the East Wing.

"A Mu, look, such a big bed, and made of Warm Jade!"

Upon entering the East Wing, in the main room, Long Yue exclaimed in surprise, this was too extravagant, using Warm Jade to make a bed?

Li Qingmu went over to have a look, even reached out to touch it, frowned and said, "A bed made from a whole piece of Warm Jade is simply too luxurious."

"But the thing is, this family is wealthy, but not to the point of being that wealthy, right?"

To have land and such a large property, surely isn’t poor, but to spend an absurd amount on such a piece of jade for a bed, seems exaggerated and impractical.

There’s always something odd about unusual circumstances, so this Jade Bed...
