After being reborn, I stole the female lead's cheat ability and raised the empress.

Chapter 42 Several Robbers

Qinghao also understood what A-Li was thinking from her expression.

Neither of them spoke again.

For a moment, the atmosphere became somewhat awkward.

The exposed wounds were all treated with medicine.

Ali quickly asked, "Do you have any maids here?"

What a joke! Does she expect me to take off my clothes in front of this man?

"This is a restaurant, where would I get maids? Do you think this is a brothel?"

"..." Now it was Ali's turn to be speechless: "Then can you have someone send me a set of clothes?"

Upon hearing this, Qinghao withdrew, and A-Li took the opportunity to heal herself with the light element.

The wounds on her body were healing rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and Ali's complexion regained its rosy hue.

This element of light is really useful. Although I don't know if I can bring the dead back to life, I can certainly heal flesh and bone.

A moment later, a woman walked in carrying a light pink dress.

Upon seeing her, Ali looked wary: "Eh? Didn't Qinghao say there were no women here? Who are you?"

"My name is Qiuya. I was temporarily transferred from another place to serve you, Miss."

Ali suddenly realized that Qinghao also knew it was inconvenient.

Qiu Ya took out a bunch of medicine bottles: "This is Qing Zhi... Boss Qing's healing elixir for you. I guarantee you'll be fully recovered in less than a month." She wondered if this young lady knew Qing Hao's other identity; it was best not to reveal it.

"Then thank you in advance, Qinghao. Tell him I've remembered this favor." Since she really needed these things, Ali didn't stand on ceremony and simply kept the favor in her heart.

She took the pill and waved her hand, "Alright, prepare some bath water for me, you can go now."

Upon hearing this, Qiuya said, "...Miss, you are injured and it may be inconvenient for you to bathe...Let me wipe you down..."

Ali interrupted her: "You go and prepare, I just need to clean my wound."

It wasn't that she was ungrateful, but since she was faking her injury, she certainly couldn't let anyone get close to serve her.

Let's get rid of them first.

After Qiuya left, Ali felt a little helpless. Qinghao must be a straight man, why didn't he know to mark her?

How did she know what was in those colorful bottles?

Why don't we learn from Sun Wukong?

Forget it, I'll just go back and have someone check it out.

Outside the door, Qinghao stared blankly at the first floor. The Third Prince's earlier commotion had ruined it beyond recognition, but the number one building in the world was not to be underestimated, and it had now been restored to its original state.

He was out on business today, but when he heard his servants report that something had happened at Manxianglou, he had a vague feeling that he would regret it if he didn't save her.

That's how the scene described earlier came about.

but……

Today, he revealed his important position in the black market because of this little girl; I don't know if that was right or wrong.

That's enough. Why regret what's already done?

You'd better hurry up and apologize to your master.

The hour of Xu (7-9 PM).

When Ali, now completely healed, secretly climbed over the wall back to her courtyard, a voice sounded behind her:

"My dear sister, what are you doing?"

Ali could only stand obediently in front of Xia Jingyuan like a child who had done something wrong, weakly calling out, "Big Brother..."

The baby was really upset. She thought it was getting late, and if she went back through the main gate, she'd probably get a lecture. She only climbed over the wall to avoid trouble.

But who would have thought that he would be caught red-handed on his first attempt to climb over the wall?

Xia Jingyuan was about to say something, but upon seeing her clothes, he said, "I remember my sister wasn't wearing this during the day, was she?"

Ah Li's face inexplicably froze, and she had only one thought in her mind.

Oh no, Barbie has become Q-version.

Xia Jingyuan immediately transformed into Sherlock Holmes, interrogating her: "Coming back so late, and even changed your clothes, do you have a man you like?"

"……No."

The interrogation continued: "Did you go out with any man?"

"……No."

They were still interrogating her: "Then why are you wearing such beautiful clothes?"

Ah Li nervously intertwined his two thumbs: "I just... threw on something."

"You're lying!" Xia Jingyuan grabbed her hands. "My little sister, when you lie, you like to draw circles with your thumbs."

"Uh..." Ali quickly put her hands behind her back. Little did she know that the original owner of this body also had this habit.

This turned out to be a lucky accident.

Xia Jingyuan continued, "Besides, you don't have this dress, little sister."

Now it was Ali's turn to object. She didn't believe her older brother could remember every single piece of clothing she owned: "Maybe you just didn't remember."

The older brother chuckled and patted her head: "You forgot, you just got back, and you don't have many clothes besides what you had when you were little."

"Ah, this, this..." Ali was embarrassed and quickly changed the subject: "What are you doing here, Big Brother?"

"You forgot we have things to do tonight. I've been waiting for you here since after dinner."

When it came to serious matters, both of them put away their smiles.

Ali said expectantly, "Then what are we waiting for? It's a dark and windy night, the perfect time for murder and arson!"

Xia Jingyuan smiled and took out a set of night clothes: "Go change and we can leave."

Ah Li went into the inner room with a happy heart. She felt no burden about going to the ancient mansion to search for treasure. Putting aside the grudge of the other party stealing her spirit pet, the ancient mansion was not a good family to begin with. She could just consider it revenge for the original owner's infidelity.

What good intentions do you need to deal with a scumbag who is engaged to you while having an affair with your sister?

Is this punishment severe? It's not severe at all, is it?

If her man cheated on her, Ali vowed that she would ruin him.

They'll have to dig up his ancestral graves too. It's all the fault of those old folks for not educating their descendants properly. Humph!

……

The two siblings followed the map and finally arrived at the Gu family's treasure pavilion.

At this moment, a three-story circular building stands in front of us.

"Little sister, this should be the place."

Ali looked around curiously and asked in confusion, "Brother, why aren't there any heavy guards around here?"

Xia Jingyuan stroked his chin: "Based on my years of experience robbing... cough cough, wandering the world, such an important place, if it's not guarded, must be heavily guarded."

Ali was immediately stumped: "Then how do we get in?"

The two explored the treasure pavilion, when suddenly, Ali saw a figure flash by in front of them.

"Huh? Someone's here?"

Xia Jingyuan quickly grabbed Ali to hide, saying, "Squat down!" Had they been discovered?

If the people of the Gu family find out, I will take full responsibility. I'll just pretend that I came here with my sister to cause trouble because I was unhappy that Gu Ba broke off the engagement, but we got lost.

Okay, that's settled!

but……

That figure didn't seem to be from here either; he was acting suspiciously, and it looked like he was also heading into the treasure pavilion.

Ali's big eyes darted around, following the figure intently: "Brother seems to be climbing through the window again."

"It seems this ancient mansion is indeed not a good family. Besides us, there are even people robbing us."
