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

Although Yishuiyuan is large, with many mountains, trees, lakes and corridors, there are only three houses that can be renovated: a wing room, a study, and a small kitchen.

With the suspicion that "Gu Yan has spies in the mansion", Bai Zhi asked Qiaoqiao to stand between her and the window every time she entered a room to look through things.

Gu Yan's things were very simple, and there was really nothing worth searching in the wing room and the small kitchen. Bai Zhi was so meticulous that she even searched the pillow cores and the seams of the bed boards, but found nothing.

There were all kinds of strange books in the study, including the Four Books and Five Classics that ordinary scholars would read, as well as 360 lines of miscellaneous books on wood art, metalwork, musical scores, pharmacopoeia, etc. There was even an entire shelf filled with paintings of ladies.

The original owner was also well-read in all kinds of poetry and books, and in her memory she spent most of her time reading, so Baizhi had impressions of most of the books here.

It’s just that Gu Yan has more books, and the bookshelves fill three entire walls.

Bai Zhi looked at the three entire walls of books and took a deep breath: How am I going to translate this?

Bai Zhi pulled Qiaoqiao to her side: "Qiaoqiao, I remember you were lucky."

Qiaoqiao nodded: "What do you want to do, Miss?"

"Qiaoqiao, choose one of these three walls for us to climb over."

Qiaoqiao looked back and forth for a few times, then pointed to the wall with the paintings of ladies: "Miss, I think those paintings of ladies look strange."

Bai Zhi clapped her hands: "Open it!"

The shelf for the ladies' paintings had three layers in total. Baizhi and Qiaoqiao divided the work and each flipped half.

These three walls of books and a jade screen just surrounded the two of them. Bai Zhi rolled up her sleeves and started flipping through the pages.

These paintings of ladies are all painted very vividly. Some of them appear to be dressed like prostitutes, and the paintings are signed by Gu Yan.

It seems that Gu Yan is not unattractive to women. On the contrary, he is quite romantic.

Bai Zhi compared these paintings back and forth. The paintings were more freehand, but it was still possible to vaguely tell that they were of the same person.

Could this woman be Gu Yan’s sweetheart?

Bai Zhi guessed the whole picture of the matter in her heart. Gu Yan had feelings for this woman, but because the woman was born in the dust, Madam Gu did not allow the two to get married, and insisted on marrying another wife for Gu Yan. The woman was jealous because of love, and could not forgive Gu Yan's betrayal, so she made a plan to get rid of the first two wives in succession. Gu Yan didn't know who killed the person, so he arranged for spies to keep an eye on her new wife. In the end, he caught the tail of Concubine Song and found out that it was the woman behind it. Gu Yan couldn't accept the woman's behavior, so he pretended to be affectionate with her in front of others, but he couldn't let go of the woman behind the scenes, so he kept a distance from her to protect her.

But as a prostitute, what means did she use to persuade the Madam and Aunt Song to be her knives?

"Miss!"

Bai Zhi was immediately brought back to her senses by this shout: "What's wrong?"

Qiaoqiao trotted over to her side and said angrily, "Third Master... Third Master has some questionable books!"

A dubious book? Bai Zhi walked up to pick up the book that Qiaoqiao had thrown on the ground, and flipped it open to take a closer look.

Spring Palace!

Gu Yan! You have quite a wide range of interests!

Bai Zhi flipped through the booklet in her hand with great interest, and commented as she read: "The painting is quite exquisite."

Qiaoqiao said shyly: "Miss! You...you don't look at it anymore!"

Bai Zhi found Qiaoqiao's behavior amusing, so she teased her deliberately, "Qiaoqiao, everyone is born after going through this, so why should we avoid it?"

Qiaoqiao's face was red as blood was about to drip out: "Even...even if it is so, you shouldn't do it so openly..."

Seeing that Qiaoqiao was really embarrassed, Baizhi stopped teasing her and thought that Qiaoqiao was a traditional person after all, and this thing was really a bit shocking.

Traditional ancient people... Bai Zhi gradually frowned. Gu Yan was also an ancient person. Even if he didn't sleep in the same bed with her, he was also a traditional ancient person.

Would he carelessly put pornographic pictures in his study?

Bai Zhi suddenly became suspicious and began to carefully flip through the erotic brochures on the shelf one by one.

Seeing Bai Zhi's serious expression, Qiaoqiao also fell silent and continued to flip through the paintings of ladies.

After flipping through more than a dozen booklets, Bai Zhi didn't find anything unusual.

Did she think too much?

Bai Zhi held the book in her arms, and while thinking, she knocked on the shelf. When she knocked on the inside, the sound suddenly became different.

Bai Zhi tried to stretch out her hand and moved the inner movable board. Behind the board lay a white brocade bag.

"Miss, what is this?" Qiaoqiao heard the voice and came over to take a look.

Bai Zhi opened the bag and took out a small rectangular piece of jade with a few incomprehensible words engraved on the bottom.

"What...what...Chuan...Seal." Qiaoqiao struggled to distinguish the words on it, "Miss, this is a famous seal."

The original owner had some knowledge of seals, so Bai Zhi could understand the small seal characters in the mirror image: "Chu Yunchuan Seal."

"Chu Yunchuan?" Qiaoqiao scratched her head. "Whose name seal is this? Why is it hidden in a place like this?"

Bai Zhi carefully stroked the jade seal and brocade bag. This was extremely fine mutton-fat jade, rarely seen on the market. Dark patterns could be seen faintly on the bag, which were visible when exposed to light but not when not exposed to light. This was also a top-grade product.

This Chu Yunchuan should also be from a prominent family.

However, according to the custom of that era, name seals were important items that were only given by parents at the coming-of-age ceremony, and all adults would carry them with them, and few would give name seals to others. Even if they received someone else's name seal, they would not hide it again and again, and even hide it behind a pornographic booklet.

Besides, this surname...

"Qiaoqiao," Bai Zhi asked, "I remember Chu is the royal surname, right?"

Qiaoqiao was surprised when she heard this: "Yes. Could this Chu Yunchuan be a member of the royal family?"

Bai Zhi shook her head: "It's just a guess."

Regardless, this method of hiding is not "treasure" but "hiding". Regardless of the relationship between Gu Yan and Chu Yunchuan, he certainly doesn't want others to find out that this seal is in his possession.

Gu Yan's behavior is confusing in every way, and this seal can at least be a small lever for Bai Zhi to regain the initiative.

But with such a sneaky way of hiding the truth, how much does Gu Yan trust his erotic barrier!

Bai Zhi carefully put everything back in its original place and told Qiaoqiao, "Qiaoqiao, don't tell anyone about this seal."

Qiaoqiao nodded heavily: "Don't worry, Miss, Qiaoqiao knows what's going on."

The two of them looked through the other paintings of ladies on the shelf, but didn't find anything else.

Qiaoqiao calculated the time and said, "Miss, it should be noon. I will go get the medicine after I finish my meal."

Bai Zhi nodded: "There is nothing more to read. Let's go eat. I will wait for you in that small shabby house in the afternoon. Don't leave the smell of medicine in Yishui Garden."

Qiaoqiao turned around and was about to leave: "Then I'll go to the kitchen to see if the meal is ready."

Bai Zhi grabbed Qiaoqiao and said, "I forgot to remind you not to put the medicine bag in your clothes today!"

Qiaoqiao smiled shyly: "Don't worry, Miss!"
