Chapter 175: A Scheme Within a Scheme (7)

Su Luo snatched it over to take a look and was immediately dumbfounded.

Was the heavens favoring her particularly?

Could she really be the illegitimate daughter of the Goddess of Luck?

At this moment, even she herself started to believe it.

What the Little Cute Dragon had in its mouth was nothing other than gold coins—glittering, genuine, and minted by the Empire.

Strangely, this gold coin still carried the dampness of the soil.

"Where did this come from? Are there any more?" Su Luo flipped up from the bed, excitedly hugging the Little Cute Dragon and poking its head.

This little one was simply too cute; every time she was in a difficult situation, it could lend her a hand.

Su Luo discovered that it had an astonishing insight into treasures.

In short, it possessed an instinctive treasure-hunting ability.

Within its vicinity, any treasure could not escape its exceptionally sensitive nose.

To be able to find gold coins in this ruined little courtyard, it was truly too powerful.

"Awoo, awoo—" The Little Cute Dragon's eyes shone, and it bit onto Su Luo's pant leg, signaling her to follow it.

This gold coin carried the scent of damp soil and was clearly dug up from underground; could this broken little courtyard really be hiding buried gold coins?

Countless questions flashed through Su Luo's mind, but her feet automatically followed the Little Cute Dragon as it led the way.

The Little Thing only ran for a short while before stopping; it lowered its head and kept yapping at the small pit.

This was a large locust tree, and it was right inside Su Luo's courtyard.

Su Luo leaned in to take a look and immediately, just like the Little Cute Dragon, her eyes lit up.

Glittering gold coins filled a chest; at a rough estimate, there were as many as ten thousand gold coins.

How could there be so many gold coins in this place? Su Luo was not blinded by wealth; she thought continuously, feeling that something was not quite right.

She cautiously pinched some soil and brought it under her nose to smell it carefully.

She also picked up the gold coins one by one to examine them closely.

The soil was fine, and the gold coins were fine… However, as Su Luo looked at the year stamped on the back of the gold coins, a faint, cold smirk curled at the corner of her lips.

The wooden chest was clearly made to look old and had a faint scent of decay, all of which seemed to indicate that this wooden chest had been buried underground for a long time.

But the year on the back of the gold coins… Heh, they were actually minted just this year. Is this possible?

A pile of gold coins of unknown origin appeared in her courtyard… What was the purpose of this?

Who was setting the trap? And who was targeting her?

Su Luo looked at these gold coins, a dangerous cold smirk curling at the corner of her lips.

These gold coins—it would be a waste not to take them.

Su Luo originally wanted to store the gold coins in her space, but she suddenly remembered the time she was hunted down by Goose Yellow… It was better to be cautious regarding the space; if it were accidentally discovered by others, she would have no peaceful days left.

Thus, Su Luo deliberately went back and forth several times, slowly moving the gold coins in batches back to her courtyard.

Finally, she used a shovel to fill in the small pit and restored it to its original state.

Behind the wall, a pair of sharp eyes silently watched Su Luo, observing her eyes lighting up with greed when she discovered the gold coins, and watching her move the gold coins away in batches…

A vicious light flashed in her eyes, and a cold, sinister smirk appeared on her lips.

Then, she turned and left quietly.

Her figure flashed by quickly, and soon she arrived at a dignified and grand courtyard.

This was the main residence of Madam Su.
