"Treasury?"

"All the belongings of the Marquis's Mansion are stored in the treasury, which is managed by my eldest sister-in-law. There are guards outside the treasury who never sleep, and there are two locked doors inside. The outer door can be opened with just one key from my eldest sister-in-law, while the inner door requires the keys of both my eldest sister-in-law and my mother to open."

"Which door is the clothes in?"

"Inside the inner gate, of course."

Bai Zhi thought: "That means, as long as we can steal the two keys and bypass the guards, we can get the clothes."

Qiao Wanwan had a bad expression on her face: "According to the instructions of the eldest sister-in-law, only she can enter the house with the key in person."

Bai Zhi: "..."

Bai Zhi: "It turns out that my second sister-in-law thought I was all-powerful. She really overestimated me."

Qiao Wanwan seemed to be certain that Bai Zhi would have this method, and said calmly: "Third sister-in-law, once you have figured out a solution, it won't be too late for you and I to join forces."

After Baizhi came out of the second room, she went back to Yishuiyuan first.

She was sick for a month and her brain almost went fuzzy. She almost forgot someone.

The pastry chef whose surname is Zhang.

If this person is used wisely, he will become a bag of gunpowder buried in the big house.

It was noon, and the servants stopped their work and went back to their rooms to eat.

Gu Yan liked quietness, so there were not many servants in Yishui Garden. Only in the morning would the housekeepers come to sweep the floor and wipe the dust. The rest of the time, there were only Bai Zhi, Gu Yan, Qiaoqiao, Mingxin, and the kitchen cook Xu and Lin in Yishui Garden.

The smell of rice wafted from the small kitchen. Bai Zhi didn't say she would come back for lunch before she went out, so the small kitchen probably didn't wait for her. It was estimated that Qiaoqiao, Mingxin and the others were eating in the cubicle at this moment.

Hey, you're back just in time.

Bai Zhi had learned skills in the small kitchen for a few days and was familiar with the internal structure of the small kitchen. She walked to the door of the compartment with ease and heard people chatting inside.

"Let me tell you, the Third Master specifically ordered this morning that the kitchen no longer has to wait for him to come back every day. As long as the Third Madam says she's hungry, they can cook right away. The Third Master is really good to the Third Madam."

"Mrs. Xu, I went to you that day to order you a bowl of noodles but you refused. If I had known this would happen, I should have ordered a bowl of noodles for Miss a long time ago."

"Qiaoqiao, Mrs. Xu is also following the orders of the Third Master."

"Qiaoqiao, I'm not being rigid. The Third Master established this rule many years ago. Whenever he wants to have this meal, he can't have the meal unless he comes back. The same was true for the previous two wives."

"I have followed the Third Master for almost ten years, and this is the first time I have seen him willing to break his own rules."

While listening, Bai Zhi secretly cursed Gu Yan for having too many broken rules, without realizing that she had slowly pushed the door open a little.

"who!"

Bai Zhi pushed the door open and walked in: "Me."

"Miss!"

When they saw Bai Zhi, they stood up quickly and rushed to Bai Zhi in small steps: "Miss, have you eaten?"

"Not yet. You guys continue eating and don't worry about me." Bai Zhi pushed Qiaoqiao back onto the stool and glanced at the table. There were only a few empty bowls left. "Oh, are you done eating?"

Qiaoqiao: "I'm done eating, Miss, are you hungry?"

Bai Zhi touched Qiaoqiao's head and said, "I'm a little hungry. What did you cook? Do you have any left?"

Cook Xu said, "Third Madam, please wait a moment. I will make it right away... Third Madam!"

Bai Zhi lifted the lid of the pot. There was still some soup noodles in the pot: "That's enough to eat."

Chef Xu watched Bai Zhi scoop up a full bowl of noodles, put it on the table, and then search for something on the shelf next to her.

Mingxin was the first to react. She raised her hand to clear the dishes and leave the table for Baizhi.

Bai Zhi flipped over the garlic, turned back to get the noodles, and said quickly, "Don't rush to clean up, I'll go back to the house to eat."

Cook Xu said anxiously, "If Third Madam wants to eat noodles, I will make another bowl for her."

Bai Zhi held the bowl in one hand and the garlic in the other, staring at the noodles in her hands in confusion: "What? Did you spit in it?"

Lin the cook was still young, and when he heard this he couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Cook Xu quickly hit Lin the cook and waved her hand, saying, "Madam, you are a royal family, how can we let you eat the leftover noodles? This is unreasonable!"

"How can you ask for the leftover noodles? Isn't it just like we're all eating together? You guys serve first and I serve later." Bai Zhi said, "It just so happens that there are some left. Wouldn't it be a waste if we throw them away?"

Cook Xu had never heard of such a theory and was stunned for a moment. While she was stunned, Bai Zhi turned sideways and walked out the door.

Lin the cook looked at Bai Zhi's back, then looked at Cook Xu: "Mrs. Xu, I think what the Third Madam said makes some sense."

Chef Xu hit Chef Lin again.

Bai Zhi took lunch back to the room and saw that the room was empty. She didn't know where Gu Yan had gone.

It seems that Gu Yan has returned to his previous elusive state.

Bai Zhi propped up the window in the side room and called out, "Chang Feng."

Changfeng appeared in front of him the next moment.

"Changfeng, do you have any manpower you can mobilize?"

"Have."

"There is a pastry chef named Zhang in the main house. Check his background and send someone to keep an eye on him. If you see this chef leave the house, tell me immediately. Also, you have to follow me the day after tomorrow and never leave my side."

Changfeng didn't move, just looked at Baizhi quietly.

Bai Zhi asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?"

"Madam, the day after tomorrow is June 15th."

"What happened to Juneteenth?"

"June 15th is..." Changfeng paused, "It's the Third Master's birthday."

"Gu Yan's birthday..." Bai Zhi suddenly realized that the Third Master mentioned here should not be the real Gu Yan, and then whispered, "Chu Yunchuan's birthday?"

Changfeng nodded.

Oh my god, why does someone have a birthday every month?

In her previous life, Bai Zhi didn’t know what month and day she was born, so she had never celebrated her birthday and only watched other people celebrate their birthdays.

Celebrating a birthday seems to be a pretty big deal.

Judging from Changfeng's expression, it seems that he wants to celebrate Gu Yan's birthday together.

Bai Zhi scratched her head: "The Madam won't kill me for a while, so just find someone with similar skills to protect me."

Changfeng: "The Third Master asked me to protect the Third Madam."

Bai Zhi: "..."

It's obvious that they don't want her to go out!

I haven't figured out how to tamper with the Phoenix robe yet, but this is indeed a golden opportunity. Before that, I can use the pastry chef named Zhang to lower Ge Zhen's prestige, which will make it easier to strip her of her power as the head of the family.

You can only catch the pastry chef's trick on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month. If you miss this opportunity, you will have to wait another fifteen days.

Bai Zhi stared into Chang Feng's eyes and said, "Either you come with me, and I'll try to be back before dinner, or someone else goes with me."

Changfeng remained silent.

Bai Zhi felt like she had punched cotton, so she had to change her tone and said, "I am a knife in the hand of your master."
