Exile at the start? Milkball filming, hoarding billions of resources

Hua Zhuyue had no choice but to ask Shen Zhaoning.

"Tuantuan, do you know where I can hide things?"

Shen Zhaoning shook her head.

"I don't know either, but I can ask Grandma Lin."

"Grandma Lin is a very kind person, she will definitely help Tuantuan."

Upon hearing this, Hua Zhuyue took out a jade talisman from her bosom and handed it to Shen Zhaoning.

"This Grandma Lin you mentioned has helped us a lot, and we shouldn't keep taking advantage of her. You should give this to her."

"I obtained this from a high monk to bless your grandfather, but before I could give it to him, the Marquis's mansion suffered a calamity."

"It seems that the calamity of the Marquis's mansion was already destined, and even gods and Buddhas are powerless to protect it."

In that case, let the gods and Buddhas protect that kind-hearted person.

When it was time to rest, Hua Zhuyue gathered everyone together and said in a low voice.

"Tonight might not be peaceful. Do any of you have anything valuable hidden on you? If so, hand it over to me and I'll keep it for you."

Qin Su was honest; she picked up the shoes, pried off a hidden compartment in the sole, and took out a large piece of gold from the sole of each shoe.

"This is the gold I've been putting in the soles of my shoes for years to improve my lightness skill. It wasn't discovered when they raided my house."

These two large pieces of gold truly astonished Zhu Jingxian.

"So much! That's enough to feed an ordinary family for several years."

Zhu Jingxian looked envious.

"I... my father is a minor official and my family is not wealthy. I have only been in the Marquis's mansion for a short time and have no savings. I really don't have anything of value on me."

Shen Yu took out several ink sticks and two calligraphy brushes that he had hidden away.

"The imperial court has clearly stipulated that one cannot bring writing brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones during exile. If these two items of mine are discovered, it will likely cause a lot of trouble and may implicate everyone. Please, Grandmother, help me keep them safe."

Even Xiaoman came over and handed over her longevity lock.

The longevity lock was made of pure gold and inlaid with jade.

It shines exceptionally brightly in the sunlight.

Everyone turned their attention to Xiaoman.

Shen Yu's tone was inscrutable.

"I never expected you to hide things like that."

I thought my cousin was just a glutton.

I didn't expect him to be so cunning.

"You actually managed to bring those things out?"

Xiaoman chuckled.

"I stuffed it into my mouth when they ransacked my house."

The thought that Xiaoman had taken this thing out of her mouth made Hua Zhuyue's expression stiffen. Suddenly, she felt that the golden appearance of the longevity lock was not so dazzling anymore.

In the end, everyone's attention fell on Wan Zhenzhen and her daughter.

Wan Zhenzhen avoided everyone's gaze, her expression indifferent.

"When my house was searched, I was so caught up in my grief that I didn't have time to hide anything."

Hua Zhuyue frowned.

"Mrs. Wan, I'm not trying to scare you, but something unexpected might happen today. If you don't hand over the items, you might be in trouble."

Wan Zhenzhen's expression gradually turned cold.

"Does Mother not believe me?"

"My father is the Second Grand Secretary, a man of integrity who regards money as dirt. How could I lie about such a trivial matter?"

Zhu Jingxian said that her family was poor and she didn't have much money, and Hua Zhuyue believed her.

But Wan Zhenzhen...

Hua Zhuyue didn't believe a single word she said.

Wan Zhenzhen is full of benevolence and morality, and seems well-mannered and polite, but in reality, she is best at using the banner of morality and etiquette to gain benefits for herself.

Hua Zhuyue didn't believe that Wan Zhenzhen would hide nothing.

But as her mother-in-law, she couldn't very well forcibly search Wan Zhenzhen's body.

Hua Zhuyue warned.

"If you don't hand it over, don't blame me for not taking responsibility if something happens."

Wan Zhenzhen had an arrogant demeanor.

"Don't worry, Mother-in-law. If I say I didn't hide anything, then I mean it. Your daughter-in-law wouldn't lie to you about something so trivial."

Hua Zhuyue nodded.

"Alright, alright, since you say you don't, then I'll pretend you don't."

She waved lightly.

"Alright, everyone disperse. A large group of people gathered together is too conspicuous."

At night, Hua Zhuyue covered for Shen Zhaoning, allowing her to leave safely with the belongings.

Shen Zhaoning, brought to the modern era, immediately dialed Lin Xiuzhi's number.

After Lin Xiuzhi asked Shen Zhaoning for her location, she told Shen Zhaoning to stay put and waited until she arrived, panting.

She brought a large bag filled with many things.

"This is a self-defense weapon that I asked someone to buy for me."

Lin Xiuzhi took the items out of the bag and introduced them one by one.

"This is pepper spray. It contains a high concentration of pepper spray. If you encounter a bad guy, you can spray it into his eyes, and he will be incapacitated instantly."

"This is a high-powered flashlight. It's very bright and can not only be used for illumination, but if you shine it into someone's eyes, it can also cause temporary blindness. The back of the flashlight can also be used to break windows."

"And this baton, miniature stun gun, brass knuckles..."

Lin Xiuzhi explained the usage method one by one.

"So, did you remember that?"

Shen Zhaoning has a good memory and learns things quickly; she memorized most of it after only listening to it once.

She smiled at Lin Xiuzhi, her dimples appearing slightly, making her look both well-behaved and adorable.

"Thank you, Grandma."

Shen Zhaoning asked shyly.

"By the way, Grandma, I want to put some things in a safe place. Do you know where would be a good place to put them?"

What valuable things could a little child have?

If other adults heard Shen Zhaoning's words, they would definitely find them ridiculous.

But Lin Xiuzhi did not show any contempt; instead, she earnestly offered suggestions to Shen Zhaoning.

"If your things are valuable, you can put them in a bank, but bank safe deposit boxes usually cost money, which you probably can't afford."

"If you trust me, leave it with me, and I'll take care of it for you."

Shen Zhaoning's eyes lit up.

"Trustworthy, trustworthy."

The items handed over by everyone, plus the silver notes and jewelry that Hua Zhuyue had secretly hidden, added up to a considerable sum of money.

Shen Zhaoning didn't hesitate at all and stuffed everything in her arms into Lin Xiuzhi's arms.

"Please have Grandma keep this for me."

Lin Xiuzhi glanced at the things Shen Zhaoning had given her.

Good heavens, so much gold.

There were also some jewelry and things that looked like banknotes, which appeared to be antiques?

Lin Xiuzhi asked in surprise.

"Is this gold?"

"Was it gold bars or gold jewelry purchased from the bank?"

It doesn't look cheap at all.

Shen Zhaoning was a little confused.

"Huh? A bank? Gold jewelry?"

She roughly knew what a bank was; it was a place to store things. What was gold jewelry?

Have not heard.

Seeing Shen Zhaoning's bewildered expression, Lin Xiuzhi couldn't help but laugh.

"Hey, I'm so confused, how could I believe this is real?"

If that were true, the little guy wouldn't be dressed in tattered clothes and working so hard.

"Alright, I'll keep these things for you. Just come and get them whenever you need them."

Shen Zhaoning happily hugged Lin Xiuzhi.

"Thank you, Grandma."

She pulled a jade talisman from her jewelry and stuffed it into Lin Xiuzhi's hand.

"This is what my grandmother asked me to give you. She said it's a jade amulet she got from a temple. It's not worth much, but it was blessed by a high monk. She hopes that wearing it will bring you longevity... may you live a long and healthy life."
