Exile after Divorce? Empty the Scumbag Husband First!-Chapter 134 - 132: Turns Out It Was Meant for Them
Sure, here is the translation:
Bai Lun was still wearing his Deer Horn Hat, making him look even more adorable.
These days, under his mother Wu Jie’s request, he had been resting, neglecting his riding and hunting, thus growing much sturdier.
He seemed strong like Rui.
Especially wrapped in the fluffy fox fur cloak, he looked like a sticky rice dumpling.
Unfortunately, the gaze of this sticky rice dumpling was much more composed, unlike Rui’s innocence.
He was holding a clay vessel, inside which there were many birds on the soft pine leaves.
"Miss Ruan, this is for you."
It turned out to be a gift for them.
Ruan Mian took it and politely said, "You went to great trouble to make this trip, right. Where is your Little Deer?"
Last time when he was in danger, the two Little Deer they had rescued came looking for him.
In fact, every day they went to Ruan Mian’s space to play with the White Tiger, and she found out that whenever Bai Lun needed them, he could summon them with mere thought.
She could as well.
Just as she was asking, the two Little Deer came hopping out from the forest, circling around the two of them.
Ruan Mian took some biscuits from the house, broke them, and fed them together with Bai Lun.
At this moment, Ruan Mian suddenly remembered those deep mountain treasures and asked inquisitively as if casually.
"Bai Lun, your Golden Feather Clan has lived in this Longchang Mountain for generations, so you must be familiar with it."
"This Longchang Mountain is vast and mysterious, and I’ve found treasure mines like igneous rock there. Do you think there’s a large treasure vault like a mountain of gold and silver here?"
As she finished speaking, Bai Lun looked at her with profound meaning.
His gaze gave Ruan Mian hope.
Was there really something?
She hurriedly pursued, "Is there really?"
Bai Lun changed the subject, "Why are you asking about this? Longchang Mountain is a sacred mountain, larger than anyone can imagine. Even though our Golden Feather Clan has been here for years, we haven’t thoroughly explored it. We still get lost and encounter danger."
"Bai Lun, you’re cautious of me."
Ruan Mian suddenly spoke, collecting her smile and standing up, "Forget it, you should head back early."
Bai Lun saw her expression was off, as if disappointed and panicked suddenly.
Just like Rui, whenever Ruan Mian changed her expression, the little guy would panic, fearing his aunt was truly angry.
At this moment, Bai Lun was also just a child, only a bit older than Rui.
He couldn’t bear Ruan Mian’s sudden coldness and quickly explained.
"I am not wary of you, just thought it better some things remain unknown to you. My mother instructed not to divulge without reason."
"But if you want to know, I’ll tell you."
"Indeed, there is a treasury in Longchang Mountain. It’s where the Great Capital Governor rests. Do you know about the Great Capital Governor?"
Seeing Ruan Mian shake her head, he patiently explained: "Long ago, Da Jing, Lanqiang, and Liao Lie were part of Bijin Country, and the Great Capital Governor was the lord of this area. Later, the country was divided among kings, forming the current situation over time."
"I heard this from my elder siblings. Our Golden Feather Clan is also one of the descendants of the Great Capital Governor. Furthermore, my mother says the Lanqiang people’s chase after our clan to Longchang Mountain was aimed at finding the treasury."
Otherwise, if they only intended to capture Wuheng, they wouldn’t need such effort to pursue the Jinsha clan in Longchang Mountain.
This cleared Ruan Mian’s mind.
It was evident that the entire Longchang Mountain was full of treasures.
Aside from gold and silver mines, the mere mention of the Great Capital Governor’s treasury was astonishing.
However, she was not entirely certain if the place Ruan Qing took her was related to this treasury.
All would need her exploration to find out.
Seeing her expression return to normal, Bai Lun’s heart finally eased.
"Now you shouldn’t be angry anymore, right? I’ve told you everything I know. But don’t plan to covet the treasury because even we don’t know where it’s hidden."
Ruan Mian smiled indifferently, "You don’t know, so I know even less. When you go back, thank your mother for me, oh right, I have something for you."
She then took Bai Lun into the house, where she pulled several ginseng plants from a box and handed them to him.
Bai Lun was astonished, "How did you... have so many?"
"This is from the thousand-year-old ginseng you gave me before. I planted it, and these are its offspring."
"Although they’re not old, they’re good for daily nourishment. Consider them my token of gratitude."
"Can these be planted again?" In Bai Lun’s understanding, these precious herbs are difficult to find in the mountains.
Though indeed grown by Ruan Mian, the quick production indicated space selection.
Natural cultivation requires time.
However, Wuheng’s natural conditions are perfect for it, making mass planting achievable without mountain harvesting.
With spring coming, as the temperature rises, Ruan Mian plans to implement her ginseng planting.
These rare medicinal herbs could fetch a good price.
...
Night fell.
The area around the house was silent.
After midnight, most people were asleep.
Only Ruan Mian quietly left the house, not disturbing Cui Zhu and Shaoxi.
Reaching the back mountain, she touched the Jade Bracelet and released the White Tiger.
Riding on the White Tiger’s back, she swiftly moved toward the direction.
But to her surprise, upon arrival, she found a few figures working diligently with tools.
Seeing this, Ruan Mian quickly had the White Tiger stop.
The White Tiger’s soft paws didn’t make a sound, and easily allowed Ruan Mian to climb a tree.
From the height, she only needed to look down to see what those people were doing.
She saw a group of people; four were responsible for digging, while the other four cleaned up. Nearby were two wooden boxes, filled with carved artifacts and copper coins and broken jade.
They wore ordinary clothes, but unfamiliar faces showed they were not part of the local exiles.
Perhaps Lanqiang Army, or others, silently they dug, fearing alarming others.
Their excavation was expert. Ruan Qing had found the marks at this site during the day.
They might have been digging for days.
Thinking this, Ruan Mian did not hurry to confront them but quietly observed from the tree.
Until they started moving the boxes away.
Due to limited manpower, they moved only one at a time.
Ruan Mian frowned slightly, seeing that this was the heart of Longchang Mountain, knowing they wouldn’t take it down the mountain.
Perhaps they had stashed the treasure dug over these days together.
Just thinking this, she saw four people lifting one box moving forward.
