The Good-for-Nothing Seventh Miss - Chapter 34

Chapter 34

If she wanted to satisfy Xiu’s appetite, then she would need to ‘hunt’ outside of her’ nest . ’ The Vermilion Bird Family had tightened their security after the last incident . Even though the strength of the guards was as mighty as a drifting clouds, Shen Yanxiao could not determine if Shen Feng would take drastic actions had she continued to loot from them . After all, the sage would arrive soon, and they couldn’t afford any more disasters .

However, other than the Vermilion Bird Family, where else could she get a considerable amount of wealth quickly?

Suddenly, a fantastic idea flashed across her mind .

In the entire capital, who else were comparable to the Vermilion Bird Family if not the other four great aristocratic families?

A wicked smile quirked on her lips . With that smile, the Azure Dragon Family was the first to get hit and then followed by the other families . All of them eventually met the same fate as the Vermilion Bird Family .

…

It was a continued miserable period for the five great aristocratic families . After the Vermilion Bird Family were first looted, the Azure Dragon Family, the White Tiger Family, and the Black Tortoise Family then consecutively suffered at the hands of a heartless little thief . Fortunately for the Qilin Family, they were the only aristocratic family that was spared from that fate .

Like the Vermilion Bird Family, the three aristocratic families also decided to keep their mouths shut about the theft because they wanted to protect their families’ dignity and reputation . Except for the members within their own family, no one else knew about the losses that they had suffered at the hands of a thief .

Naturally, that meant that the victims thought that they were the only unlucky family whose wealth was plundered . To avoid a scandal and to protect their prestige, they could only suffer in silence . There was no visible turmoil on the surface, but they had dispatched troops to track their stolen items discreetly .

Eventually, all of the investigations led to one of the five great families, the Qilin Family’s Auction House .

If only the four other families would gather and hold a discussion calmly, they would then discover the similarities between the thefts .

All that was stolen were precious goldware and jewels . Even though the items were very valuable, it did not cause any damage to the victims . All of their rare treasures were safely kept in the storehouse and were not even slightly moved .

However, after the string of robberies, the four aristocratic families were as anxious as a bird startled by the mere twang of a bow, and they increased the security at their storehouse to threefold .

The little thief could have only tested the waters, and he might not be so lenient next time . All the things that they had in the storehouse were very valuable, and they would most probably vomit blood if they were to lose even one of those items .

During that period, the four families lived in fear and apprehension . However, the little thief seemed to have disappeared and did not bother them again .

At the same time, Qi Meng of the Qilin Auction House had received another batch of luxury items from Shen Yanxiao .

As he looked at the goldware and jewels that piled like a small mountain, Qi Meng had an urge to weep . The number of items that the customer had sent them was almost equivalent to what the Qilin Family possessed . When the customer sent the luxury items in waves, Qi Meng honestly wanted to take his hands and beg for him to bring other items instead . If they continued to sell luxury items, then everyone in the capital might assume that their Qilin Auction changed their standard to auction luxury items instead .
