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

Madam Gu gave the order that only the masters were allowed to hide inside. Bai Zhi had no choice but to leave Ming Xin outside. Qiao Wan Wan told her personal maid to go back to the house and hide, so Bai Zhi also told Ming Xin to go back to Yishui Garden and hide in the small kitchen. As a result, Ming Xin was so stubborn that he insisted on guarding the door of the treasury. Bai Zhi could only pick up a sharp short branch and give it to him, and told him to go around the back of the Buddhist hall and hide under the shrine, and not to come out no matter what happened.

This was Bai Zhi's first time to enter the treasury. She didn't expect that the small Buddhist hall from the outside would actually have such a large space inside. It could hide fifty or sixty people, and there would be plenty of room even if the servants outside were put in. There were shelves and boxes all around, filled with gold, silver, and other rare treasures.

Bai Zhi could guess that Madam Gu was unwilling to let the people in because she was afraid that they had dirty hands, and she couldn't help but curse inwardly that the richer the people, the more conservative they were.

Then, Qiao Wanwan and Madam Gu each took out their keys and opened the second door. This time, Madam Gu mysteriously refused to let them in, and walked in by herself. After a while, she took out a black package.

"When you set off these fireworks, guards will come." Madam Gu looked around at her three daughters-in-law, "Who among you will go?"

Qiao Wanwan said, "Mother, let the servants release it."

Madam Gu said firmly: "No, this is a secret, how can it be passed to the servants."

Qiao Wanwan and Bai Zhi looked at each other, and then they both looked at Ge Zhen on the side. Before they could speak, Madam Gu said to Bai Zhi, "Zhi Er, go for a trip."

Gu Yan stood up after hearing this and said, "Mother, I'll go."

"Nonsense, you are the third master of the Marquis' Mansion. A gentleman should not stand under a dangerous wall. There should be a limit to how much you can dote on your wife."

Qiao Wanwan: "Mother, the robbers outside may attack at any time. Zhi'er is a woman and can't even tie a chicken. Wouldn't it be dangerous to let her go? Please think twice."

Madam Gu's face fell and the situation came to a standstill for a moment.

"I'll be back soon. They're just a few bandits. I don't think there's any danger." Bai Zhi said, "I'll be back within an incense stick."

It looked like Madam Gu was determined to push her out, so she might as well go out early and come back as soon as possible.

Gu Yan suddenly took the package from Madam Gu. Madam Gu was shocked: "Yan'er, what are you going to do!"

"Mother, I will go with Zhi'er." Gu Yan grabbed Bai Zhi and opened the door to walk out. Old Madam Gu was not mobile and could not catch up. Marquis Xuanping and Gu Lao Er were standing too far inside and could not catch up at all. They could only watch the two of them leave.

In the corner, Ge Zhen bit his lips.

The servants outside the house had all dispersed, and the robbers had not yet entered. There were only a few sporadic cicada calls in the landscape garden. Bai Zhi breathed a sigh of relief and was about to open the package and set off fireworks on the spot, but Gu Yan did not stop and still led her straight ahead, which was clearly the side door of the Marquis' Mansion.

"Chu Yunchuan," Bai Zhi called him in a low voice, "Are you not setting off fireworks?"

"Not here, but outside the mansion. Otherwise, it will alert the thieves and they won't be able to escape without a single one of them."

There was a big lock on the side door next to the garden. Gu Yan raised his leg and kicked it hard, but unfortunately the lock was of too good quality and it didn't move at all.

Bai Zhi looked at Gu Yan: "Can you pick a lock?"

"No." Gu Yan raised his head and looked upwards, "But you can go this way."

Bai Zhi looked up along Gu Yan's line of sight, and could only see a three-meter-high wall in front of her. She said casually, "Where is the road... Hey!"

Gu Yan hugged Bai Zhi tightly, stepped on the tree branches beside him and flew to the top of the wall. There was only a tiny space under his feet, and it was pitch black under the eaves. Bai Zhi grabbed Gu Yan's clothes tightly and exclaimed, "You also know Qinggong?"

"Want to learn?" Gu Yan turned around and chuckled, "I'll teach you Qinggong when you've mastered the inner strength skills."

"It's not easy to learn some Kung Fu, and you have to wait in line... Hey, hey, hey!"

Gu Yan didn't know how long he had learned this Qinggong. He was holding a living person in his arms, and he fell from a three-meter-high wall without making any sound. He took out a night-shining pearl as big as an egg from his arms, and used the pearl light to lead Bai Zhi to walk left and right for a long time, until Bai Zhi couldn't remember how many streets they had passed. Gu Yan unwrapped the package, pulled the fuse, and a bright purple double-petal peony suddenly exploded in the night sky.

"This flower is pretty." Bai Zhi patted her chest and panted, "How long will it take to finish?"

Gu Yan: "It won't take more than an hour."

"I understand now. The thieves came for the Marquis' Mansion, and you went for the thieves. No one will be alive after this night." Bai Zhi said, "Then the Marquis' Mansion will be full of corpses and blood. How can people live there?"

"The old lady cannot bear to see this scene. With one order from her, the Marquis' Mansion will act as if nothing happened." Gu Yan looked at the Marquis' Mansion in the distance through the thick night, with an unclear smile on his face, "The Marquis' Mansion is covered in blood debt, so it is quite appropriate to start with some blood."

Bai Zhi narrowed her eyes: "From what you said, the revenge plan has already begun?"

Gu Yan turned around and looked at her: "It's more than just the beginning, it's already going smoothly."

"Congratulations, it seems I am on the verge of freedom." Bai Zhi moved her body, found a corner to lean against, and closed her eyes to rest.

After a while, Bai Zhi heard Gu Yan walking towards her step by step and stopping just a few feet away from her.

"If you want to chat and relieve your boredom, wait until you get back. I advise you to take a nap now, just in case."

Gu Yan said nothing. After a while, Bai Zhi opened her eyes and looked at him: "Are you tired and leaning against the wall?"

"Bai Zhi." Gu Yan said softly, "Who are you?"

A corner of the moonlight shone through, dimly illuminating Gu Yan's face. Bai Zhi saw that his expression was not as serious or questioning as she had thought. It was as if he was just sitting idly at the desk, flipping through the pages of a book and asking this question without any purpose.

Bai Zhi said: "I am Bai Zhi."

Gu Yan shook his head and smiled, "You are completely different from the Bai Zhi I found. Even if you have experienced life and death, a person will not suddenly undergo such a huge change."

Bai Zhi looked at him quietly.

"If you don't want to talk, that's fine. I'm not interrogating you." Gu Yan imitated Bai Zhi and leaned against the wall. "I'm just asking you because I'm not satisfied."

"You trust me so much? Aren't you afraid that I'm a spy sent by someone?"

"You can't be."

"What does it mean to be unwilling?"

Gu Yan did not answer, but just tilted his head slightly to look at her, his throat slightly raised.

The moon has gradually emerged from the dark clouds, and it is a little dazzling at first glance.
