Traveling through time and space to become a lady of a noble family, but she only wants to escape

Bai Zhi thought for a moment and said, "I have a few requests."

Gu Yan nodded: "You say."

Bai Zhi held up three fingers and said, "First, during this period, you must protect Qiaoqiao's life. When I leave, you must take Qiaoqiao with you. Second, there must be no pursuers after we leave the mansion. Third, when I leave, you must give me one thousand taels of silver as travel expenses."

Gu Yan nodded: "Okay."

Bai Zhi clapped her hands: "Then it's a deal."

After a while, Gu Yan lowered his voice and said, "The first thing I want you to do is to conceal the seal in my study. You must not tell anyone about it." He then smiled to himself, "My study is not open to anyone. I didn't stop you yesterday because I wanted to see what you were going to do. I didn't expect you to find my seal directly."

Bai Zhi couldn't help but laugh at him: "You put those pornographic books there, it's like you're saying 'I have a problem, come and see me!'"

Wait, Bai Zhi reacted belatedly.

"My name seal"?

Seeing Bai Zhi's bewildered expression, Gu Yan continued, "Two years ago, I used a disguise technique to replace the real Gu Yan. The real Gu Yan is now..."

"Wait!" Bai Zhi interrupted him hurriedly, "I don't want to hear such a secret!"

Gu Yanwei raised his eyebrows: "You don't want to listen? I thought you had a lot of questions to ask me."

Bai Zhi swallowed her saliva and said, "I'm afraid that knowing too much will kill me."

Gu Yan thought: "Then the second thing I want you to do is to listen to what I say next."

Damn it! How can there be such an unreasonable person!

Gu Yan continued, "You are a smart person. You will try every possible way to find the answer to something you can't figure out. Rather than letting the mansion be turned upside down by you, it's better for me to tell you directly. I think there is no need for you to cause trouble. What I am going to say next is about the contract between you and me. It won't hurt to listen to it."

Bai Zhi gave up struggling: "Then tell me."

Gu Yan said, "The one who pushed you into this was Concubine Song, and the mastermind behind this was the First Lady. The First Lady and Gu Yan had been childhood sweethearts, but due to her parents' agreement and the matchmaker's words, she ended up marrying the young marquis. Out of love and hatred, she instructed Concubine Song to kill my first two wives."

After a pause, Gu Yan continued, "That's why I treated you coldly when you married into the Marquis's Mansion this time. I didn't expect that the Madam still didn't stop."

Bai Zhi suddenly realized: "That's why you changed your strategy. You threatened the Madam and Concubine Song on the day of the birthday banquet and decided to confront them head-on."

Gu Yan nodded: "The eldest lady is really too troublesome, so I hope you can contain her."

Bai Zhi resisted the urge to roll her eyes: "You think too highly of me."

Gu Yan's expression suddenly became very gentle, as if Chu Yunchuan underneath his skin was smiling: "I'm afraid I underestimated you."

Bai Zhi scratched her head helplessly: "I can't refuse anyway, so I'll leave it to you."

The lights in the carriage were dim and it was so quiet that I could hear my own heartbeat.

After hearing Gu Yan's confession, Bai Zhi's heart was moved, and she said softly, "Thank you for what you did today."

Gu Yan's expression was a little unnatural: "Actually, I was planning to..."

Bai Zhi interrupted him lightly: "I know that you intend to sever all ties between me and the Bai family and keep me trapped on your pirate ship."

Gu Yan's dirty thoughts were exposed and he turned his head slightly.

Bai Zhi said frankly: "You and I each have our needs, so we are even. But what happened today can be regarded as a vent for seventeen years of resentment. No matter what, I have to thank you."

Gu Yan coughed twice and said, "Once everything is settled, I will dismantle the mechanism."

Gu Yan just raised his fan to knock down the lotus relief when Bai Zhi grabbed his sleeve and said, "Wait! I'm curious about something!"

"what's up?"

Bai Zhi leaned closer and stared at Gu Yan's face: "Is this face of yours really a disguise? How long can it last? Do you need to change it every night?"

Gu Yan felt uncomfortable being stared at, so he moved to the side and said, "Just change it once a month."

Bai Zhi looked thoughtful. Gu Yan suddenly asked, "Do you want to see my real face?"

Bai Zhi hurriedly proved her innocence after hearing this: "No, no, no, I absolutely don't want to! Don't get me wrong, I thought if you needed to change your face every day, I would have to help you hide it from others, but since you don't need it, forget it. Don't worry, don't ask too many questions, I know the rules."

After a long while, Gu Yan uttered, "That's good." Then he knocked down the lotus relief, and the carriage returned to its original appearance after a rumbling sound of mechanisms.

A fresh breeze suddenly rushed into the carriage.

Bai Zhi leaned lazily on the board, but she was not happy in her heart.

There are too many variables in three years. Now that we have discussed everything well, who knows if this kid will recognize me in the future.

She knows so many secrets, will she be silenced after the success?

But now that my life is in his hands, I can only let him do whatever he wants. I just hope he can finish what he wants to do and let them go.

Bai Zhi closed her eyes tightly and put her hands together in her heart——

Miss Baizhi! I hope you can bless us from heaven!

The next morning, when Bai Zhi woke up, there was no one around her and no one knew where Gu Yan had gone again.

The aftereffects of Gu Yan's words "restrain the eldest lady" yesterday were too strong. She tossed and turned all night, her mind full of thoughts on how to deal with Ge Zhen, a ruthless man who was willing to celebrate her birthday and his own death anniversary together. After thinking about it, she could not come up with any good solution, and did not fall asleep until dawn.

Bai Zhi rubbed her eyes and called out, "Qiaoqiao!"

After a while, Qiaoqiao came in with her head down, looking like a meek maid from a wealthy family. She raised her head slightly and saw that only Baizhi was there. Then she relaxed and rushed to Baizhi's bed: "Miss! Are you hungry? The kitchen has already prepared breakfast!"

Bai Zhi crossed her legs and sat up straight: "Qiaoqiao, I made a deal with Gu Yan yesterday. We can't escape for the time being."

Qiaoqiao didn't quite understand for a moment: "Miss, what deal are you talking about?"

"I told Gu Yan that I wanted to leave the Marquis' Mansion. He..." Bai Zhi organized her words, "He needed me to be a good wife to him. That, to make Madam Gu feel at ease, he would let us leave in three years at most."

Gu Yan’s true identity is a bomb. If it’s going to explode, it’s best to only explode her, so it’s better not to tell Qiaoqiao for now.

Qiaoqiao was pleasantly surprised and said, "Really? Then we have a backer in Gu's Mansion, and there will be no pursuers when we leave the Marquis' Mansion!"

Bai Zhi looked very proud and made a scissors gesture.

Qiaoqiao didn't understand what was going on and followed suit: "Miss, what does this mean?"

"This means success." Bai Zhi waved her scissor hands in front of Qiaoqiao, "We will definitely be able to successfully leave the Marquis' Mansion."

Qiaoqiao also followed Bai Zhile and waved her scissor hands: "Miss, we can do it!"
