Ruan An’an held back her disgust and clung to Madam Xu’s arm, acting cute: “Mom, Sister-in-law and Yanli have to have a child this month. I’m afraid if I stay here, it’ll affect them. Could you put up with a little inconvenience?”
Madam Xu hesitated. She had just moved into the small Western-style house—did she have to move out again?
More importantly, Ruan An’an’s dowry and property were all inside this house.
At that moment, Xu Yanli suddenly spoke: “We’re all in the same compound. It doesn’t matter where we live. Living together unmarried could be considered indecent.”
Ruan An’an clearly loved him too much—she couldn’t bear to see him being intimate with Su Qingyue in front of her, and she was even more concerned about her own future.
Since she had thought of everything so carefully, he had to think about his own reputation too.
Xu Yanli thought he was being magnanimous and was waiting for Ruan An’an to praise him.
But she didn’t even spare him a glance.
Madam Xu didn’t know her son’s thoughts; she assumed he was just worried that Ruan An’an would interfere with him and Su Qingyue.
It didn’t matter—the basement had been secured with three heavy locks, and some valuable items were hidden there, impossible for ordinary thieves to steal.
With that in mind, Madam Xu agreed to move out.
Ruan An’an didn’t want them lingering for a moment longer and even offered to help pack their things.
Luckily, the Xu family was poor and had only just moved in. Most of the trunks hadn’t even been opened. Bedding could be stuffed inside, and they could leave immediately!
Su Qingyue kept glancing back, pretending to be kind as she grabbed Ruan An’an’s wrist before leaving. “An’an, aren’t you afraid living alone in such a big house?”
Ruan An’an hid her smile and shoved Su Qingyue out the door.
“Not afraid. This is the Ruan family ancestral home. Even if there are ghosts, they’re my ancestors.”
With that, she clicked the lock shut in one smooth motion.
Only a fool would play nice with them. Soon, she would expose their affair to the world.
Let them parade in shame!
Su Qingyue stared at the bracelet swinging on Ruan An’an’s wrist, inexplicably feeling uneasy.
She had the sense that she had just lost something very important!
She tugged on the man beside her, putting on a pitiful expression. “Ali, An’an won’t hate me, right? I had no choice…”
“She won’t. She just doesn’t want to waste our time. Forget her—we’re going back!”
With that, Xu Yanli grabbed Su Qingyue’s suitcase and led her by the hand to the low side wing.
Finally, peace and quiet.
Ruan An’an got to work, removing the red four-piece bedding set from the bed and replacing it with a set of pale pink silk bedding from the original owner’s wardrobe. Then she sat on the velvet single sofa, looking up at the dim light.
Madam Xu, stingy by nature, thought the crystal chandelier wasted electricity and had deliberately loosened some bulbs.
Ruan An’an frowned, climbed onto a nearby table, and tightened each loose bulb.
The crystals reflected a silvery light, stabbing into her eyes. Instinctively, she raised her hand to shield herself, accidentally scraping it against the brass frame of the chandelier.
A drop of blood clung to the intricate design, slowly sliding along the pattern.
At that moment, she slipped and fell onto the soft bed.
The blood drop fell with her.
As if by magic, it landed precisely on the white jade bracelet on her wrist.
“Ding dong.”
The sound of sweet spring water rang in her mind.
Whoosh. When she opened her eyes again, the scene had changed—the space had opened!
【Ding! Congratulations, Host, you have unlocked a space】
A mechanical electronic voice suddenly echoed in her mind.
Ruan An’an’s pupils dilated, and she excitedly covered her mouth!
It had arrived—the legendary space every transmigrator needed!
In an instant, the scenery shifted. Flowers and grass filled the air with fragrance.
Ruan An’an shook her head and looked up to see a row of two-story Hui-style buildings behind a gently flowing stream.
The buildings clung to the hills, shrouded in mist, unreal in their beauty.
She stepped onto the soft grass and walked toward the buildings, dew brushing her ankles with a cool sensation.
She had planned to open the space ceremoniously after tidying everything.
But unexpectedly, a cut on her hand and a fall had triggered it…
Well, now to see what was inside.
Ruan An’an eagerly examined the space.
It was quite large; she couldn’t see its boundaries.
But…
“This is way too empty, isn’t it? There’s nothing here?” she muttered, frowning.
“Could this just be a storage warehouse? That’s so boring!”
No wonder the original story hardly mentioned the space.
But something is better than nothing, she consoled herself.
She just didn’t know how to use its storage function.
As she pondered how to put things in, a white panel suddenly appeared in front of her.
The board was covered with dense text:
【Bracelet Space Function and Instructions】
【Functions: Storage + Teleportation】
【Storage: Can hold any items, keeps them preserved permanently.】
Ruan An’an’s eyes lit up. Permanent preservation?
This meant that if she stored food here, no matter how long it stayed, it would never spoil.
Amazing! She would never have to worry about starving during hard times.
She was enjoying the thought when she noticed the teleportation function.
【Teleportation: All items can be transferred according to the host’s intent.】
“So I can get anything I want instantly? But there’s nothing here yet…”
【Ding! Hidden items in space unlocked.】
The cold mechanical voice sounded, and the space changed again.
A small building slowly appeared, with a sign hanging outside.
Ruan An’an pushed open the door. Inside, aside from basic furniture, there were neatly arranged huanghuali display shelves.
The shelves held books on weapons, agriculture, and industry from ancient times to modern.
Below the shelves were boxes of advanced weapons.
Besides cold weapons like specially crafted swords, spears, and halberds, the walls were lined with all sorts of firearms.
In the center stood a large table with grenades and basic equipment.
In the corners were countless boxes, labeled with detailed bullet information.
The original owner’s father had been a weapons researcher. Growing up under his influence, she knew these weapons well.
She caressed the guns on the wall, unable to tear herself away.
“M1 Garand, standard US semi-automatic rifle… wow, even foreign weapons are here.”
“ZB26 light machine gun.”
“Even explosives!”
The armory was huge. Cold weapons and firearms alike were included, many she had never seen before.
Every single item was top quality.
On the table, she even found a set of weapons research materials.
She had some intelligence and common sense, but she wasn’t qualified to research weapons herself.
She decided to keep the materials for now, to be used at the right time.
She wouldn’t use them unless absolutely necessary.
Even a single item from this armory could cause a huge stir outside!
She didn’t know if Su Qingyue had unlocked the hidden items when she had the space in the original story.
Thankfully, this treasure was hers now!
Her immediate priority was to stash the family property in the space, then strike back at the Xu family and run off to become a military officer’s wife.
