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

Bai Zhi: "Luckily all the robbers outside are dead. What took you so long to open the door?"

"It sounded like your voices, but mother wouldn't let me open the door, saying there might be some conspiracy." Qiao Wanwan leaned close to Bai Zhi's ear and moved her lips. "The old lady wanted to protect her son and me, the head of the family, and she didn't care about anything else. It sounded like you were not in any danger, so I followed her and opened the door after a while. We should all bear the consequences when we are under each other's roof."

Bai Zhi looked at Madam Gu over there expressionlessly: "It's safe outside. Let's inform the old lady and go back to our rooms."

She didn't want to stay with this inhuman old lady anymore.

Because they were afraid that there were still remnants outside that had not been cleaned up, Gu Yan took the lead and walked in front. During the time they were hiding in the treasury, some black-clothed men came to the Marquis' Mansion one after another to clean up the debris on the ground.

When Old Madam Gu saw the tragic scene outside, she was so frightened that she sat down on the ground with her lips trembling. Marquis Xuanping and Old Second Gu were also so frightened that they could not speak.

"There are so many people here. You really don't know until you see them," Qiao Wanwan swallowed her saliva. "Luckily, Third Brother is smart, so we were able to survive."

Gu Yan unfolded his folding fan and covered his mouth and nose: "Second sister-in-law, you are too kind. This is a blessing for the Marquis's Mansion."

Bai Zhi whispered to Qiao Wanwan: "You don't look scared."

"When I went to the border before, the war wasn't over yet. I saw more corpses than you've eaten." Qiao Wanwan's expression was rarely serious. "It was really cruel. The people had no food to eat. They ate grass, tree bark, soil, and finally cannibalism. People from the same county died together. It was much more tragic than this."

"Stop talking! Stop talking!" Madam Gu suddenly went crazy, kicking the ground and backing away. Gu Yan stepped forward and helped Madam Gu up, saying, "Big brother, second brother, take mother back to her room, I'll take care of the aftermath here."

Xuanping Hou was already frightened by the situation, and when he looked back at Madam Gu, who was so crazy that he had never seen her before, his legs went weak and he fell to the ground, looking completely at a loss. Gu Laoer was still somewhat conscious, but before he could take Madam Gu, he turned around and vomited in the corner.

"Third brother, let me do it." Qiao Wanwan rolled up her sleeves, "Bai Zhi, come and help me."

Bai Zhi was about to go over, but Gu Yan stopped her with his hand: "Second sister-in-law, let me help you. Zhi'er is injured and needs to rest."

Qiao Wanwan opened her eyes wide: "Are you injured? Where are you injured? I'll go get you some medicine."

"It's nothing, just a minor scrape." Bai Zhi winked at Gu Yan, "Don't worry, I'll be back soon."

Something suddenly occurred to her.

Gu Yan had no choice but to put down his hand and repeatedly reminded him: "You must come back as soon as possible."

"Ouch, that's enough, Third Brother. It's just a scratch. I will return your wife as soon as possible. Come, Baizhi, let's take each of them."

The main room was empty, and the servants didn't know where to escape. Madam Gu struggled non-stop, and Bai Zhi and Qiao Wanwan had to use a lot of strength to carry her back. She was quite restless all the way, humming and groaning, and her hands were weakly grasping at the air.

"It's strange," Qiao Wanwan said, "The old lady used to go to the battlefield with the old marquis. She has seen all kinds of scenes. Why is she so scared?"

Bai Zhi could guess why Madam Gu was like this. She just watched coldly, secretly saying that she deserved it.

"Okay, let's go. When Third Brother sees that you haven't returned, he will ask me for help." Qiao Wanwan was about to leave when Bai Zhi stopped her with a shout, "Wait a minute."

Qiao Wanwan: “What are you waiting for?”

"The old lady is unconscious and there are no other servants around her. This is a rare opportunity." Bai Zhi lowered her voice, "Let's go search for the key to the inner door of the treasury."

"What are you doing in the inner door of the treasury?"

"The old lady is very secretive about what's inside the inner door. She doesn't even let her son in. Don't you want to go in and take a look?"

Qiao Wanwan thought for a moment, then nodded decisively and said, "If you want to see it, search it!"

Madam Gu on the bed was still scratching and shouting like she was in a trance. Bai Zhi locked the door, and the two of them had a clear division of labor. Qiao Wanwan held her hand while Bai Zhi looked for the key. She remembered that Madam Gu took the key out of her bosom, but after searching for a long time, touching every inch of cloth, the key seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.

Old Madam Gu struggled more and more violently. Seeing that she couldn't find the key for a long time, Qiao Wanwan became anxious. She used some force and tightly clamped Old Madam Gu's wrist.

This suddenly pulled Madam Gu out of her nightmare. She looked straight at the two of them, and after a moment of silence, she began to curse.

Bai Zhi was quick to pull out a packet of medicine powder from her bosom and sprinkle it on the old lady. Madam Gu collapsed like a fish that had been knocked unconscious on the chopping board.

Qiao Wanwan looked ashen: "We've caused a big disaster now. When the old lady wakes up and remembers this, we won't be thrown out of the mansion together."

"No, this powder is specially made by the miracle doctor. She won't remember what happened just now." Bai Zhi waved the small paper bag in her hand at Qiao Wanwan, "When I secretly cut the robe on the morning of the birthday banquet, you asked me if I had a second choice. This was the second choice at that time."

After one desperate situation, she found a way out. Qiao Wanwan was pleasantly surprised. She hugged Bai Zhi tightly and said ecstatically, "Bai Zhi! You are simply a god sent from heaven!"

"Okay, okay, follow the magic soldier to find the key."

The two took advantage of the drug and Mrs. Gu would not wake up for a while, so they started to strip her clothes. But after searching her whole body, they still couldn't find any trace of the key.

Qiao Wanwan sat on the bed and wiped her sweat, her tone a little anxious: "Is it not on her at all?"

"We brought her back. She was unconscious all the way and had no chance to hide the key. Given her personality, she would not leave such an important key with someone else." Bai Zhi carefully scanned Madam Gu, and her eyes suddenly fixed on her hair. "Did she wear so many hairpins this morning?"

Qiao Wanwan looked at it as she was told and frowned, "It seems that there really isn't one. Are you saying that the hairpin is the key?"

Baizhi pulled out all the hairpins on Madam Gu's head. The heads of these hairpins were intricately carved peach branches, each with different bends. Baizhi fiddled with them for a while, piecing them together, and finally managed to fit the four branches together seamlessly.

"It's a key!" Qiao Wanwan exclaimed, "How do you know this can become a key?"

"This is called a mandarin duck key. It requires several parts to be put together to unlock the door. I've seen it in a book." Bai Zhi put the key in her pocket and planned to go to the treasury immediately, but the next moment she suddenly felt dizzy and fell on the old lady.
