Traveling through time and space, being replaced by a bride, happily married into a marquis's m

The night was as dark as ink. The carriage was traveling through the dark and deep alleys. The sound of the wheels rolling was particularly clear in the silent night.

Soon, the car stopped in a secluded corner. The surrounding trees swayed in the night breeze, as if whispering.

At this time, a group of men in black came in and surrounded them.

They were dressed in tight black clothes and had masks on their faces, revealing only a pair of eyes that were as sharp as an eagle's.

The leader bowed and saluted to the commander of the Nine Gates who was sitting in the carriage, and reported: "Commander, I have secretly escorted the wife and the eldest young master of the Loyal and Brave Marquis's Mansion back to the mansion according to your instructions! As for the swindlers we caught, how should we deal with them? Please give me your instructions, Commander?"

The leader of the Nine Gates sat in the carriage, his face looking even colder and harder in the darkness. He raised his hand slightly, motioning the man in black to come closer.

"Execute them all!" The commander's voice was cold, as if he was narrating an insignificant matter.

"Yes, Commander." The men in black answered in unison, then turned around and prepared to leave.

The commander suddenly stopped them and said, "Wait a moment."

The man in black stopped and looked back at the commander.

"Did you find anything unusual while carrying out the mission?" asked the commander.

A man in black stepped forward and reported, "Commander, while we were escorting the Madam and the Young Master, we discovered that a group of people had been secretly following us. We suspect that these people may be accomplices of the scammers."

The commander frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and then said, "You continue to monitor. If there is any situation, report to me immediately."

"Yes, Commander." The men in black responded and left quickly.

The commander in the carriage had a cold gleam in his eyes.

As the night deepened, the carriage continued to move forward, and the men in black disappeared in the darkness, as if they had never appeared.

The commander sat in the carriage with deep eyes, as if he was thinking about something.

Suddenly, the carriage stopped and a man in black hurried over with an anxious look on his face: "Commander, we found that group of people appeared again, and they seem to be following us."

The commander nodded slightly, signaling the man in black to go down. He stared at the darkness outside the carriage with deep eyes, thinking to himself: "It seems that this opponent is not simple."

The man in black got off, and the carriage restarted and continued to move forward. The commander sat in the carriage, waiting quietly. He knew that in the next period of time, he had to stay calm and deal with any situation that might arise.

Soon, the carriage stopped again, this time at the commander's order. He stepped out of the carriage, stood in the night, and stared into the darkness ahead.

The men in black gathered behind him. They looked at the commander nervously, waiting for his orders.

The commander turned around and looked at them, his tone cold: "You are all from my Nine Gates. I trust you and believe in your abilities. Now, I want you to find out the identities of those people and their purpose."

The men in black responded in unison: "Yes, Commander!"

The commander nodded slightly, then turned back to the carriage and continued on his way. The men in black dispersed and disappeared into the night to carry out their mission.

……

Lu Yundi brought Yan Canglan and finally returned safely to the Mansion of Marquis Zhongyong.

The servants in the mansion had been waiting for a long time. When they saw them coming back, they came forward to greet them. Lu Yundi nodded slightly and walked straight to the inner room.

Yan Canglan followed closely behind, looking at Lu Yundi with mixed feelings.

He really couldn't understand why this stepmother cared so much about him and yet was so unpredictable.

Entering the inner room, Lu Yundi sat on the rosewood chair and motioned Yan Canglan to sit opposite her. She took out a silver note of 1,800 taels of silver from her sleeve and gently placed it on the table.

"This is the silver I won today, a total of one thousand eight hundred taels." Lu Yundi said calmly.

Yan Canglan's eyes flickered, and he couldn't help but feel a little excited when he looked at the banknotes. However, he soon regained his composure because he knew that the money was not for him.

"Why do you want to help me win back this money?" Yan Canglan couldn't help but ask.

Lu Yundi smiled slightly, with a hint of tenderness in his eyes: "Because you are my son, I naturally have to protect you and prevent you from being deceived by others."

As he spoke, he twisted his fingers and took out a silver note of eight hundred taels, and handed it to Yan Canglan with a smile: "Here, this silver note is a reward for your cricket, take it."

Yan Canglan was stunned for a moment and was about to take it, but Lu Yundi changed his mind and immediately took the banknote back.

Yan Canglan felt annoyed when he heard this, thinking that she was playing a trick on him: "What are you doing? You promised to give me money, but you took it back. What does that mean? Do you think I don't deserve this money?"

Lu Yundi shook his head and patted Yan Canglan's hand gently: "No, I just think you are too young to properly keep the money. I will keep it for you, and I will return it to you when you grow up."

Yan Canglan's face was a little ugly. He felt that Lu Yundi's move was a sign of distrust towards him. He clenched his fists tightly, trying to hide his anger.

But faced with Lu Yundi, who was even more shameless than him, Yan Canglan had no choice but to slip away in disappointment.

After Yan Canglan came out from Lu Yundi, he returned to Qingfeng Tower at great speed.

He went up to the second floor and just stepped into his sister's room, he saw his sister Yan Shuqin sitting by the window, holding a book in her hands, but her eyes drifted towards him from time to time.

"Brother, you're back!" Yan Shuqin put down the book, stood up and greeted him, her eyes full of concern.

"Well, I'm back." Yan Canglan patted his sister's shoulder with a smile, then sat on the chair next to her.

"Brother, what did you do when you went out with your wife today?" Yan Shuqin looked at him with bulging eyes and asked curiously.

Yan Canglan smiled slightly and told him about how Lu Yundi had taken him to Jiulong Street to fight crickets today. He vividly described how Lu Yundi won more than 1,000 taels of silver from his boss by using crickets that were poisoned, and how he got on the carriage of the leader of the Nine Gates by mistake because of his boss's pursuit, and was frightened in the end.

He spoke so well that his saliva was flying everywhere, making you feel like you are there.

After listening to her brother's story, Yan Shuqin's eyes widened in shock.

She clutched the edge of the bed, trying to recover from her brother's narration.

"Brother, are you telling the truth?" Yan Shuqin finally spoke, her voice trembling slightly.

Yan Canglan frowned and nodded, a trace of confusion and worry flashed in his eyes: "Yes, I saw it with my own eyes, Madam was indeed protecting me. The situation was critical at the time. If she hadn't stepped in, I'm afraid I would have been killed by the leader of the Nine Gates. According to my guess, Madam must have some kind of ulterior motive with the leader, otherwise, how could he let us go so easily?"
