The whole family traveled through ancient times and fled in an RV

The moon is like a jade plate, hanging in the sky, casting its clear light on thousands of miles.

Li Xiuwen took Li Xiuling by the hand and tiptoed to the embroidery building, where light was coming out of the carved windows.

Li Xiuwen gently pushed open the carved wooden door on the first floor, and the two of them tiptoed up the stairs.

"Miss Fourth?"

"Yeah." Li Xiuwen responded softly and walked quickly upstairs. It was her maid Cuiguo calling her.

When the three of them reached the second floor, "Miss Fourth, Miss Fifth." Li Xiuling's maid Xiaoyue was waiting by the stairs.

The four of them walked into Li Xiuwen's boudoir. Li Xiuling's boudoir was right next to it, as were the boudoirs of Miss Six and Miss Seven.

After closing the door, Li Xiuwen asked, "Have the sixth and seventh sisters come back?"

Cui Guo said softly, "Miss, Miss Six and Miss Seven haven't come back yet."

Li Xiuling lowered her voice and said, "A letter has come."

Cuiguo and Xiaoyue's eyes showed surprise, but then some worry.

Li Xiuwen leaned close to Fifth Sister's ear and said, "Sister, go back to your room and wait. Don't fall asleep."

"Well, Fourth Sister, let's divide the silver into three parts and sew them on our bodies. It will be safer and we won't have to worry about it falling when we run." Li Xiuling also whispered in the Fourth Sister's ear. After that, she called Xiaoyue to follow her back to her room to pack up the money.

Li Xiuwen waved Cuiguo over and whispered in her ear, "Take your own private money and sew it on your body. Don't take anything else. They are here to pick us up and we will leave tonight. I must leave. I don't want to stay in this dark embroidery building anymore."

Cuiguo gritted her teeth, made up her mind, leaned close to the young lady's ear and said, "Miss, I want to go too."

"Don't be afraid, we will definitely arrive in the country safely." Li Xiuwen comforted her, and also comforted herself.

Li Xiuwen put away all her private silver and gold and silver jewelry, including 20 or 30 taels of gold and silver fruits and more than taels of silver ingots. She did not dare to take the copper coins she usually gave to her servants, as they were too heavy.

They divided the gold and silver into three parts and sewed them into their clothes. They wore a coarse cloth coat on the upper body, long pants on the lower body, tied their legs with cloth strips, and put on a coarse cloth skirt that was long to the ankles.

The maids secretly begged for the coarse cloth some time ago. The maids and young ladies made their own outer coats and skirts made of coarse cloth.

Ye Wanqing wrapped the poems and ancient paintings with oil paper and tied them tightly. She couldn't take out the Ye family's property after entering the Li family's warehouse. Grandpa said that he would give it to her when she got married.

My aunt once suggested that she marry my third cousin to make the relationship even closer. Marrying into a foreign family, she wouldn't have to worry about being bullied. Now, she wants her to marry a military commander. Oh, she doesn't want to marry anyone.

Ye Wanqing's eyes were cold. She changed into coarse cloth clothes, pulled up all her hair, and wrapped it with coarse cloth, dressing like a peasant woman. She sat on the bed, lowered the curtains, lay on the bed, and covered herself with a thin quilt.

Bai He raised her voice outside, "Mother Wu is here, um, the young lady has gone to bed."

Lu Mei: "Take care, Madam Wu. Okay, you can lock the door."

Ye Wanqing lay on the bed with her eyes open, listening to the noise outside.

Bai He and Lu Mei stood beside the courtyard gate and listened to Mrs. Wu lock the door and leave. Then they tiptoed into the house and closed the door.

Bai He walked to the bedside and said, "Miss, Madam Wu locked the door and left."

Ye Wanqing: "Well, you two should clean up quickly."

They both changed their clothes quickly.

Ye Wanqing was afraid that she would fall asleep, so she made sure that the housekeeper was not outside and simply lit a candle. The three of them sat at the table and talked in low voices while waiting.

Ye Wanqing, Li Xiuwen, Li Xiuling and the maids were in their rooms, making preparations. They prepared gold and silver, and each hid a pair of scissors on their bodies. They were ready, turned off the lights, went to bed, and waited with their eyes open, waiting for the sound outside.

The Li family has many descendants, and the girls in the Li family have many embroidery houses and courtyards. Although Li Xiuwen and Li Xiuling are not born of the same mother, they have been close to each other since childhood. The sixth and seventh sisters entered the embroidery house a few years later than the two of them. Although the four of them lived in the same embroidery house, they didn't talk to each other. They were very careful about their plan to escape and didn't reveal anything to anyone.

The lights in the embroidery building were all turned off, and the housekeeper checked to see if the young ladies and maids were in their own rooms. She took away the second staircase, locked the doors on the second and first floors, and went back.

Normally, these old women who manage the women's courtyard in the back house are not allowed to go back to rest so early. They have to stand guard outside for two hours after locking the door at night.

Why is the management of the Li family's boudoir so lax?

Because the mistress of the Li family died early, Li Xiuwen's grandfather married three times. Now the third wife is only in her early thirties, but she is always unwell and has no time to care about things, so she leaves the matter to the eldest daughter-in-law.

The eldest daughter-in-law is the stepmother of Li Xiuwen and Li Xiuling. Their father married twice. The eldest daughter-in-law of the Li family has to serve her parents-in-law and take care of the affairs of the whole family. She is powerless and leaves many things to the people below.

The people who manage the entrance to the backyard are all old servants who have lived in the Li family for most of their lives. The management is lax, and the people below think that the backyard is deep and has not had any problems for decades. Before closing the yard, they check it once, and all the young ladies and maids are in their boudoirs, and the gates are locked. It would be great if the old people could go back and rest early!

The clouds in the sky covered the moon. When the hour of the Ox arrived, the call of a nightingale could be heard from outside the yard.

One short and two long, two short and one long, three short and three long. The nightingale pauses for a moment after singing, and then repeats this cycle twice.

Ye Wanqing lowered her eyes to read a book, and her eyes widened instantly when she heard the nightingale outside.

Lumei and Baihe were sitting nearby with their faces supported. When they heard the sound, they stood up instantly, gently opened the door, and stood in the yard to listen to the nightingale's call.

Lumei picked up the stone next to the flowerpot and knocked it rhythmically on the courtyard wall, one short and two long, two short and one long, three short and three long.

Ye Wanqing hurried to the yard, only to see a man in black falling down from the wall. Ye Wanqing covered her mouth, fearing that she would scream out loud.

The man in black said, "Hibiscus flowers bloom at the end of trees, and red buds bloom in the mountains."

Ye Wanqing was stunned for a moment, then quickly whispered back, "The streamside hut is deserted, and the flowers are blooming and falling."

The man in black asked, "Are you Miss Ye Wanqing?"

Ye Wanqing heard the voice of the man in black, a woman's voice, and instantly felt relieved. "Yes, I am Ye Wanqing."

Man in black: "Then let's go quickly."

Ye Wanqing: "What about my sisters, over at the Embroidery Building?"

The man in black: "Don't worry, there are people over there to help as well."

There was a man sitting on the courtyard wall, lowering a ladder.

The man in black: "Don't be afraid, climb up quickly, you won't fall, someone will support you."

Lumei ran out of the room carrying the young lady's bag, which contained the young lady's favorite calligraphy and paintings.

Bai He held the ladder and felt a cool touch. She wondered if it was an iron ladder? How heavy it must be! They were really strong!

Ye Wanqing gritted her teeth and climbed up the wall with shaking legs. There was also a ladder outside the courtyard wall. The woman on the wall helped her climb over to the ladder on the other side of the wall. She took a deep breath and climbed down.
