Ruan Fuxi agreed. Her goal was simply to reclaim the house and the jewelry, and now that she had achieved that, she was satisfied. The elderly He family had raised her biological father for over a decade, so she didn’t intend to be too ruthless.
Before long, Ruan Fuxi received the jewelry left behind by Tang. However, some of the gold pieces had already been sold by He Lianhua for cash. Faced with Ruan Fuxi's gaze, He Lianhua's expression faltered, and then she reluctantly said, "There are some gold pieces missing; I can convert that into cash for you."
This person looked so imposing yet was utterly merciless in her dealings. He Lianhua couldn’t help but mutter to herself, wondering what kind of relationship Ruan Anmu had with this woman that allowed her to trust her enough to count the jewelry.
Upon hearing this, Ruan Anmu first glanced at Ruan Fuxi before nodding and saying, "Fine, but don’t think you can fool me. I know exactly what my mother has."
This statement was a tactic by Ruan Anmu to catch her off guard. He Lianhua pouted but ultimately said nothing more.
"I sold one gold necklace for a thousand, and there are two gold bracelets worth thirty thousand. I'll transfer the money to you," He Lianhua stated. She truly didn’t want to part with this money. Thirty thousand—she barely earned that much in a year in town.
But compared to the prospect of going to jail, He Lianhua was even less willing to take that risk. So, gritting her teeth, she transferred the money.
Ruan Fuxi looked at the pile of jewelry and suddenly spoke up, "Is everything here?"
He Lianhua screeched in a high-pitched voice, "Everything is here! I haven’t shortchanged you!"
But when faced with Ruan Fuxi's clear and bright eyes, her voice gradually diminished. She lowered her head in thought and then said, "There is something else, but it's neither gold nor silver, and it's not valuable."
Ruan Fuxi replied, "Bring it over."
He Lianhua muttered a few complaints under her breath but eventually turned and went inside to rummage through her belongings.
"Here you go!" She pulled out a shiny black iron block that was used as a table leg support and handed it to Ruan Fuxi. Then she turned to Ruan Anmu and said, "You can check; everything is here now."
Ruan Fuxi took the shiny black iron piece, surprised. It turned out to be another token for entering the Ghost Market. She nodded at Ruan Anmu.
Only then did Ruan Anmu speak up, "Alright."
The four of them then took their things and left Qingshan Town.
Not long after returning to the capital city, Ruan Fuxi was about to start school. She bought a plane ticket to the city and informed the Ruan family about the protective array at home.
She planned to take Gui Gui and Xuan Ye with her, so Ruan Fuxi left several talismans for them. Even if danger arose, she was confident in their safety.
Ruan Jili and the others wanted to see her off to the city, but Ruan Fuxi declined. Traveling alone would be more convenient, sparing her parents and older brother A Xun from making unnecessary trips back and forth.
Sheng Yanzhou also didn’t accompany her. He felt a bit aggrieved about it.
"Xixi, there are still some matters that need arranging for the Yuantuan. I'll handle them and come find you in the city."
Yuan Fuxi had many business dealings in the city, and he was observing the situation over there.
After a nod, she boarded the plane heading to the city.
Upon arriving, Yuan Fuxi did not return to her dormitory immediately; instead, she went to the apartment she rented off-campus. At the same time, she announced on Shark that she would resume her broadcast at six o'clock that afternoon.
