The Eternal Beauty of the City of Wealth

Chapter 225 Substituting one thing for another

That night, when it was dark and quiet, Zixuan teleported to Shusun Bao's bedroom.

Seeing that Shusun Bao was sleeping soundly, he immediately took out a handkerchief and covered his mouth and nose.

With another thought, he brought him into the space, where Boss Ji was already waiting.

The death row prisoner, disguised as Shusun Bao, was immediately carried to his side.

They also stripped Shusun Bao's clothes and put them on the death row prisoner.

Seeing that everything was ready, Zixuan moved the fake Shusun Bao out of the space, placed him on the bed, and covered him with a quilt.

He also found Shuniu's gold, silver and jewelry vault and put all the things inside into the space.

The boss asked puzzledly: "My king, why do you collect all this gold, silver and jewelry?"

"Old Ji, Lord Shusun will never be able to return after returning to Fugui City. These treasures are the basis for his future survival."

"Oh, I see. Your Majesty, you are so thoughtful!"

Zixuan ignored him and immediately transferred Shusun Bao to the operating room and called several experts to examine him.

He went to Zixu's room to see his fat grandson, left him some snacks and toys, and then planned to return to Fugui City.

The two children begged their mother to stay for a few more days.

Zixuan said, "Xu'er, Ye'er, mother can't let anyone know that I've been here."

"If the truth comes out, Shuniu will definitely suspect you."

"Don't worry, Lord Shusun has been rescued and is on his way to Fugui City."

"Mother will leave you some gold, silver, medicine, and drinks. If you need anything else, I'll give it to you."

"No, no, we have enough of these things to last us for several years. Thank you, mother!"

Zixuan nodded and waved his little hand. In an instant, more than twenty large wooden boxes fell from the sky and landed on the ground with a clang.

Ahhhh… Immediately, Zixu and the other two were frightened and screamed: "Mother! This…this…"

Zixuan warned with a serious face: "Don't be afraid, don't ask, and don't tell! Mother is gone!"

Before he could finish his words, there was a swish and the figure disappeared in an instant.

Ahhhh… the two were frightened by their mother’s actions again and screamed loudly.

Ziye hid behind Zixu and said in a trembling voice: "Brother Xu! Mother is not a human being!"

Zixu rolled his eyes at her and said, "Sister, what are you talking about?"

Ziye hurriedly explained: "I mean, mother is not a mortal. She, she is a ghost! A female ghost!"

"Brother Xu, do you think she'll get upset one day and suck all our blood dry?"

Zixu calmed himself down and pinched Ziye's nose: "Ye'er, have you been reading too many picture books?"

"If mother was a ghost who wanted to suck our blood, she would have done it long ago. Why wait until now?"

He suddenly remembered something, slapped his forehead and said, "Ye'er, I remember it!"

"Mother must have been granted some magical power by the immortal master to be able to conjure these things out of thin air and then disappear in an instant!"

Ziye's eyes lit up: "Yes! How could I have forgotten this! Hmm, it must be like this!"

Immediately, the two of them smiled and ran to the boxes to check them one by one.

An hour later, the attending physician came before Zixuan, bowed, and said, "Your Majesty, Lord Shusun's condition has been determined."

“There are two main symptoms. One is a lung infection caused by a severe cold that leads to a persistent high fever.

"Secondly, he had stomach cancer, but fortunately it wasn't in the late stages and was still treatable."

"For now, we'll treat his inflammation and fever first. Once his pneumonia is cured, we'll perform surgery to remove the stomach lesion."

Zixuan nodded: "As long as he can be cured, I will transfer him to the People's Hospital now. You can decide how to treat him!"

After saying that, she immediately teleported to a separate ward in the People's Hospital and placed Shusun Bao on the bed.

After finishing all these arrangements, it was already dawn and Zixuan felt tired and sleepy.

I quickly returned to my bedroom, took a hot bath, and fell asleep in bed after a short while.

The next day, Shuniu was happily drinking tea in the main room.

The housekeeper rushed in in a panic: "Master! Master! Something terrible has happened!"

Shuniu glared at him and said, "You're so old, yet you don't have the composure to deal with things! Tell me! Why are you so panicked?"

The old housekeeper wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Young Master!"

"Our storehouse was robbed! All the gold, silver, and jewelry are gone!"

"What? Say it again!"

"We! Our storehouse was robbed, and all the gold, silver, and jewelry are gone!"

"Impossible! Yesterday, the young master went in and got a jade ring for the old lady!"

"So many things were stolen in just one night? I don't believe it!"

The housekeeper said with a sad face: "Master, everything I said is absolutely true. If you don't believe me, just go over and see for yourself!"

Good! Shuniu pointed at the housekeeper as he walked out and said viciously, "If I find out you're talking nonsense, I won't let you off easily!"

When I arrived at the warehouse door, I saw the guards kneeling on the ground and trembling.

Immediately, an ominous premonition came to his mind, and he rushed into the warehouse in two steps to take a look.

The warehouse was empty, with nothing but a pile of rat droppings on the ground.

Seeing this, Shuniu shouted anxiously: "Where is my gold! Where are my knives and coins! Where are my jewelry! Ahhhh..."

Then, he ran out of the warehouse and kicked and punched the guards desperately: "What are you doing here?"

"If a large warehouse was robbed and you didn't even notice it! What's the point of keeping you..."

Tired of beating, he sat on the ground and burst into tears: "Ahhh... my gold..."

Two days later, his mood improved a little, and he immediately called the butler over: "Go and see if that old immortal is dead!"

"Yes, yes!" the butler agreed and walked towards Shusun Bao's room. Not long after, he ran back shouting.

"Young Master! Young Master is dead! Young Master is dead!"

Upon hearing this, Shuniu jumped up in anger and kicked the old housekeeper in the stomach: "Fuck your mother! Do you know how to speak?"

The old housekeeper squatted on the ground, holding his stomach with a look of panic on his face: "Young Master! Young Master! I mean Master! Master is starving to death because of you!"

Bang! Shuniu slapped the old housekeeper hard in the face: "If you keep talking nonsense, I'll kill you!"

After saying that, he strode towards Shusun Bao's yard.

When they came to Shusun Bao's bed, they saw that he was lying straight on the bed, completely dead.

Shuniu was overjoyed and immediately ordered people to prepare a coffin and announced the funeral to the palace and the Shusun family.

Zhongren, the eldest son who was far away in Qi State, burst into tears immediately after hearing that his father had passed away.

Unexpectedly, his father passed away just a few months later.

He immediately packed his bags and wanted to return home to attend the funeral, but his mother disagreed.

She always believed that Meng Bing was killed by Shuniu, and if Zhong Ren went back, he would probably be in great danger!

Zhong Ren was very depressed when he saw that his mother disagreed. He did not even take care of his father when he was seriously ill.

If I don't go to the funeral, people will say I'm unfilial.

So he secretly took a few followers and ran back to Lu overnight.
