Chapter-5: hidden stash in the side courtyard
From what she read in the novel the courtyard beside them belongs to him secretly where he actually hides his money and the money from few other officials collectively.
It is like a house keeper helping his master hide the secret money.
This money and valuables belongs to the fourth prince.
It will usually be sent to maintain the army of the fourth prince from time to time.
Other than money there are also other supplies for the army that is hidden there.
Based on what information she got from the book, the third prince knows about this through the words of Su Qing.
After the Su family was exiled he took the resources here which doubled his resources in a very short time.
The courtyard on the side did not have any one guarding them.
Everything is hidden under the ground.
There are two entrances.
First is a small one that can let one person enter.
Second is a big one that can let a donkey cart enter smoothly.
Yes it is that big so that they can load the things down and bring them back.
It was all under a fake floor with big doors where they usually park carriages.
In order to hide this secret door it was covered with a big load of hay and the bottom was covered with hardened mud.
Usually everyone thinks that this is just a normal horse stable.
So no one would suspect that there is a huge underground passage here.
As for the small passage, it was riddled with series of mechanisms to enter.
When reading the book this was the thing that made her interested towards this.
But now they are useful to her.
She will sneak there later and steal everything there into her personal space.
Well she cannot steal everything but she can steal part of it with the available space.
If the available space increases she can steal more things later.
The space can let her keep the things in from 1 meter distance away from her body for each space piece she bought.
Right now she bought 2 piece of space and she can take things in 2 meters away from her.
It is a total 2000 cubic meters of space.
......…..
Soon it was early in the morning and Nuwu called the maid come in to help her wash up.
It is still early and the maids also just woke up.
Nuwu felt slightly uncomfortable having a maid helping her wash up.
But she cannot act differently right now and followed along with the memories.
After washing up, she got a new dress and went out to see her mother in law that is Mrs. Su san.
Every day she has to greet her mother in law and then greet the granny Su along with other daughter in laws.
Since she is early the maid sent her to sit in the reception room of her mother in law.
Well she did not sit still.
Instead she walked around the place while others did their things.
She tried to find anything of value and she would take it.
When she goes out she will sell these things for money and fill her space with cooked food as much as she can.
The remaining will be filled with drinking water, medicine, clothes, weapons and other miscellaneous things.
She found a cupboard with tea sets, cups and utensils here that is used to entertain the guests.
When asked, the maid can bring them out directly.
It did not cost much but they are still precious compared to common ones.
She directly sent them all into her space.
The empty cupboard was left.
After few minutes she finally saw her mother in law come out.
She greeted her mother in law and followed her along to meet the old lady Su.
Today she plans to ask her mother in law and old lady to visit her parent's house and stay there for one night.
So when walking she spoke.
"Mother, yesterday I had a terrible nightmare about my family.
I want to visit them and stay for one night.
Can you please help me ask for permission from granny Su?"
Originally Nuwu is from a rich family with similar to her father in law's family.
So she was taken as the main wife of her son.
He still has concubines but it was only arranged and not taken.
Well their family is wealthy and they will take concubines later.
Her husband is a well know lecher even though his dick is quite small, he has not realized the truth.
He always accepts the flattery of others at the low end places and thinks that he is a manly man.
......
After thinking a moment of thinking her mother in law accepted.
"Okay, you can go and visit your parents for a day.
I will talk to my mother in law."
They soon arrived at another courtyard that looked more luxurious.
Nuwu did not stay in place but moved around as if looking at the things while the old lady Su got ready and invite them in.
While walking she silently sent few more things into her personal space.
Soon the wife of Su Yi along with her daughter Su Qing and daughter in laws came to visit just like Nuwu and her mother in law.
Then Su Yi's concubines came along with their daughter in laws.
Su Yi has a wife and concubine.
The wife gave birth to a son Su Meng and Su Qing.
Su Meng has wives and concubines along with their children that are the grand children of old lady Su.
Nuwu did not care about them and silently did what she is doing.
She did not plan on getting involved with them.
But she wanted to get involved with the book wearing heroine later in exile.
Well the book wearing heroine did not come back in time yet and she cannot meet her right now.
