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

After Bai Zhi left, Fu Yao nudged Gu Yan with his elbow, causing Gu Yan to grin, "Yunchuan, this girl is quite interesting. No wonder you like her."

Gu Yan nodded: "She is indeed smart and thoughtful, so I let her stay here in the beginning."

Fu Yao: "Why are you pretending to be stupid?"

Gu Yan was confused by what he said: "What do you mean?"

Fu Yao: "I said, if you like someone, it means you are deeply in love with them. Whoever told you that you like someone is smart."

Gu Yan finally reacted, and his ears suddenly turned red: "What do you mean by deep love? I..."

"Alright, alright, those letters you sent me, with Bai Zhi on the left and Bai Zhi on the right, my eyes are going to get calluses. If you have feelings, then you have feelings. Why are you embarrassed?" Fu Yao looked at Gu Yan carefully, only to see that his eyes were dull, as if he was at a loss. He asked Fu Yao blankly, "Have I mentioned Bai Zhi to you many times?"

Fu Yao almost wanted to open his friend's head to see what was inside. He sighed in dismay, "... No, you have feelings for her, don't you know it yourself?"

Gu Yan pushed him a few inches away and said hesitantly, "Wait, let me think about it."

"Think about it, what's the point of thinking about it!" Fu Yao said, "Let me ask you, Miss Bai told you that she would leave after the matter was done and open a shop far away. What do you think in your heart? Do you not want her to leave?"

Gu Yan: "I..."

Fu Yao didn't even wait for his answer, and asked again like a machine gun: "After this is done, Miss Bai and you will never have any contact with each other again. From now on, you will see Miss Bai less and less. What do you think? If you don't have feelings for her, why are you so happy when you said you wanted to send her away and she didn't leave? What did you say in your letter? Ah, Bai Zhi is willing to stay, I am very happy, my God, I am so upset when I read it."

This barrage of words stunned Gu Yan. He stood there in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking. His ears turned red with shame, and then he closed his eyes with a lonely look. After a long while, he spoke in a hoarse voice: "Even if that's the case, it's just my wishful thinking. That's it, let's not talk about this. How was your journey? Did you have a smooth journey?"

"Don't interrupt." Fu Yao said, "Everything else is easy to let go, but love is the hardest to let go. Go find Miss Bai and express your feelings. Maybe she'll be willing to stay. I don't want to see you keep everything to yourself and regret it when you're eighty years old. That's pointless."

"Fu Yao." Gu Yan rubbed his forehead, as if he had suddenly been drained of strength, and said helplessly, "Bai Zhi once said that her greatest wish in this life was to find a beautiful place to spend the rest of her life. Look at me, no matter now or in the future, I have nothing to do with beautiful scenery, so what can I do to keep her?"

"Why, isn't Weizhou considered a place of beautiful scenery?"

"If this is successful, I will take over the throne of King Jing and live in the King Jing's mansion forever. If this is not successful, I will be stabbed to death..."

"Don't talk about the future, just talk about now." Fu Yao interrupted him very firmly, "The future hasn't come yet, why are you tied down by the future at every step. Yunchuan, ever since Prince Jing was wronged, you can't relax all the time. What you said to me and the letters you wrote to me before were really shocking. It was not until Miss Bai came that you recovered a little bit. A few months ago, if Zhiheng hadn't written to me, I wouldn't have known that you had lost your mind. Now you finally have a confidant, and you have to watch that person run away to the horizon. Can't you loosen the string and give yourself a way out?" He became more and more anxious as he spoke, and finally sighed, "The string is tight and the bow is broken, Yunchuan, I am really worried about you."

Gu Yan patted Fu Yao's shoulder and smiled faintly: "I know what's going on, don't worry."

Fu Yao looked at him for a few seconds, then said, "You changed Zhi Heng's plan into this. Have you really thought it through?"

"Didn't you ask me this a long time ago? Why are you asking me again now?"

"I will do my best to help you with what you want to do. I didn't want to ask, but I just heard from Miss Bai that you didn't tell her anything. How can I feel at ease?" Fu Yao simply sat on the stone bench and slapped the table in an upset manner. The teapot and small bowls on the table shook. "You hid it from Changfeng and Zhiheng, and now you are hiding it from Miss Bai. I am the only one who knows about such a big thing. What a heavy burden it is. What if I, as a brother, should stop you but didn't? One day you regret it. How can I have the face to see you!" His face suddenly changed and his voice was very low. "Changfeng is not here now, right?"

"No, I asked him to protect Bai Zhi secretly at all times. Bai Zhi is not in danger in Yishui Garden, and he should be resting now." Gu Yan half squatted down and looked at Fu Yao, and said calmly: "Fu Yao, the arrow has been shot, and I can't turn back. Even if I suffer retribution one day, it is my own fault. Good brother, you will be like Bai Zhi and accompany me to the end."

Fu Yao looked at Gu Yan's eyes and couldn't get angry. He held back all the words in his heart. He waved his hands helplessly and said unhappily: "Accompany, how can I not accompany you! I owed you this in my last life, damn it, I think you are sure of my temper, and I can follow you even if you go astray. If you regret it in the future, don't be so desperate."

Gu Yan chuckled: "I feel relieved when you say this."

Bai Zhi walked into the small kitchen and saw Cook Xu banging on a dark iron bucket, muttering to herself, "Not bad, not bad, it's time."

"What time is it?" Bai Zhi approached the iron barrel and smelled a faint but very tempting meaty aroma. Her eyes lit up, "A thousand-hammered chicken!"

"Yes, it's the well-cooked chicken, Madam San, you came at the right time, the chicken is ready!" Cook Xu rubbed her hands and put two rags under the lid of the iron bucket to remove it. As soon as the lid was opened, the fragrance inside rushed out like a flood, causing Bai Zhi to drool under the root of her tongue. Cook Xu took a long iron hook and fished out a golden and shiny chicken from the iron bucket like fishing.

Bai Zhi couldn't help wanting to break off a piece to taste, but Cook Xu quickly stopped her: "Madam, this is smoked over an open flame, it's hot, I'll cut it for you to eat." Cook Xu threw the chicken on the chopping board, cut off a steaming chicken leg with a knife, and tore off a piece of oil paper to wrap the small piece underneath to save Bai Zhi from getting her hands dirty, "Madam, blow on it and eat it."

Bai Zhi blew on it a few times hurriedly, then took a bite - just this one bite was so fragrant that she almost cried.

The skin of the chicken is crispy and crunchy, and the inside is tender and chewy, not too dry. I don't know how it was cooked, but the spices that relieve greasiness are very tasty, which fully supports the unique sweetness and oiliness of the chicken.
