Acai's Sky

Chapter 716: What Does the Heroine's Escape Have to Do with Me?

Ah Cai accidentally caught a glimpse of the colorful silkworms wriggling in her home.

Her eyes lit up instantly, and she quickly ran to the warehouse, anxiously looking for the colorful silk.

After some searching, I finally found those soft silk threads shining with colorful light.

Afterwards, Ah Cai's spiritual consciousness brought the colorful silk to the mysterious [Universal Processing Workshop].

Here, she skillfully operates the equipment and carefully processes the colorful silk into exquisite cloth.

Each piece of cloth is a colorful white, as beautiful as a dream.

Ah Cai carefully placed them into boxes, thinking to herself, "This colorful silk is so rare, they probably wouldn't want to use it to make ordinary clothes. It's a good idea to just keep it as it is, as a family heirloom."

Aunt Gu, standing nearby, nodded in agreement, "Indeed, this precious fabric is even more valuable than the tribute hidden deep within the treasury! They certainly wouldn't easily make it into clothing."

At this moment, Ah Cai was busy rummaging through her system backpack while anxiously asking Aunt Gu, "Oh, my mind has suddenly gone blank. Aunt, please help me think carefully about what else I can take out and put back in."

Nanny Gu smiled as she watched her young lady busying around, and couldn't help but recall that the last time she saw Ah Cai in such a hurry was in the general's mansion a long time ago.

After thinking for a moment, Aunt Gu reminded her, "Miss, didn't you buy a lot of dazzling gems? Since you're not particularly keen on wearing jewelry, why not take out a few boxes of uncut stones and put them in there?"

After hearing what Aunt Gu said, Ah Cai suddenly realized something. She slapped her forehead and said, "Look at my memory. I actually forgot about this matter completely! I may not have anything else, but I do have a lot of raw gemstones!"

She bought a lot of jade and other rare gems, which were like finding them for free in the world of cultivation.

As soon as she finished speaking, she slowly took out an extremely large wooden box from her system backpack.

The wooden box looked extremely simple and old, but when the lid was slowly opened, people couldn't help but exclaim in amazement - dozens of exquisite dressing boxes were neatly arranged inside!

These dressing boxes vary in size and shape, and each one exudes a faint woody fragrance.

What is even more surprising is that when you gently open the lid of one of the boxes, what comes into view is dozens of colorful and crystal clear gemstones!

Some are as red as flames, some are as blue as the sea, and some are as fresh and pleasant as emerald green leaves...

Not only that, next to the box that had been prepared long ago, Nanny Gu carefully put in more than a dozen sets of gorgeous head ornaments carefully carved from various gems.

Those headpieces are inlaid with dazzling diamonds, warm and delicate pearls, mysterious and deep sapphires and other precious gems. The fine workmanship and ingenious design are simply breathtaking!

At this moment, Aunt Gu thought thoughtfully for a moment, then said, "Why don't you bring out some of those pomegranate bonsai and miniature landscapes you made when you have free time? That way, the box should be almost full."

Hearing this, Ah Cai quickly responded, "Okay!"

As she spoke, she quickly dug out the earliest gem pomegranate bonsai she had made from the corner of the system warehouse.

Although this pomegranate bonsai was her beginner's work and the craftsmanship is a bit rough compared to her later works, one can still see the maker's care and ingenuity.

Ah Cai scratched his head a little embarrassedly and said with a smile: "Hey, this was made when I was a novice. The craftsmanship is indeed not sophisticated enough."

Seeing this, Aunt Gu jokingly said, "Tsk, tsk, tsk, look at this gemstone pomegranate bonsai! Our young lady is really willing to use gemstones and gold and silver!"

Ah Cai looked at the large wooden box that had been added. "This will also need to be packed separately when the time comes. Can we pack more than a dozen additional boxes?"

Gu Ma Ma thought for a moment and said, "That's right. With so many boxes, even the old lady of the Tong family would be terrified!"

A Cai was playing with a ghost ball in her hand. She missed her father Lin a little. She didn’t know how many times he had been reincarnated!

Nanny Gu skillfully sorted out the additional items, carefully classified and put them in place, and carefully marked the names of the young masters and young ladies of the Tong family who would be given them as gifts in the future on each box with a brush.

At this moment, Ah Cai seemed to have thought of something and quickly asked, "Um... should we prepare a box for the half-sister and half-brother in this body as well?"

Nanny Gu stopped what she was doing and said with a smile, "Since you have ordered me to do so, young lady, I will pick out some things from your private storehouse for the three of them and fill up a box.

But don't worry, these are all rare items purchased from genuine foreign merchants. Even if they are just picked out at random, their value is definitely not low!"

After saying that, Nanny Gu turned around and started searching in the warehouse.

Ah Cai was slowly turning around, seemingly thinking about something.

Suddenly, as if she had thought of something, she asked, "By the way, I haven't seen my half-brother in years. I wonder how he's doing now?"

Upon hearing this, Nanny Gu laboriously brought over several large wooden boxes, and then carefully filled them with the newly purchased colored glass, exquisite porcelain, earthenware jars and other items.

He replied, "To answer my lady, your father was worried that you would be unhappy because of this half-brother, so he sent him to Qingshan Academy to study as a boarder.

In the blink of an eye, several years have passed, and he has never been allowed to return home. On weekdays, only the third master would occasionally go to visit him in person.

Hearing this, Ah Cai couldn't help but ask curiously: "Then...how is his study in Qingshan Academy?

"That's just how it is. There's really nothing we can do about genes! He completely inherited his aunt's genes. It's really terrible!"

Nanny Gu was muttering to herself, but she never stopped working for a moment.

I saw her moving skillfully between the boxes and cages, busy and focused.

Ah Cai stood aside, feeling a little confused, and couldn't help scratching her head.

She muttered to herself: I don't think I've seen these half-brothers and sisters very often. Especially those who are not in the old house all year round, they are even more unfamiliar.

Speaking of his half-brother Tong Jinhao, his family had sent him to Qingshan Academy early on. Unless he received special permission, he couldn't leave the academy.

Let's talk about the illegitimate seventh daughter. Her fate seemed to be even more difficult. Because of her aunt, she was ruthlessly sent to the farm, and then she had been waiting there for the right opportunity to choose a husband for her and marry her off directly.

And the illegitimate eighth daughter was carefully protected by her aunt Li, who was afraid that she would interfere with the legitimate daughter.

So they simply sent her back to her parents' home for foster care. This way, unnecessary trouble could be avoided and Miss Nine's status could be ensured not to be affected.

However, it was only in the last six months that the old lady returned to live in the old house and brought the eighth young lady back.

But after she came back, Miss Eight was kept in the backyard and was not allowed to go out and walk around easily.

Perhaps they were worried that she would cause trouble outside, or perhaps they felt that her status was too low for her to show up in public.
