When Qin Wan arrived outside the gate of Chunhui Hall, the yard was quiet and no sound was heard.

That’s right, it’s normal to sleep in the middle of the night.

However, she didn't seem to see any patrol team on her way here today. There used to be patrols in the Marquis' Mansion, but why did those people disappear now?

Qin Wan felt puzzled, but after thinking about it, she took out the wall-climbing tool from her backpack, fixed it, and then followed the rope to climb up to the top of the wall.

When she saw that everything in the yard was back to normal, Qin Wan admitted that she had been overly suspicious.

Seeing the gatekeeper in the yard dozing off, Qin Wan slowly retreated.

After putting away the tools, Qin Wan turned and left. This time she went to the courtyards of the second and third wives and could hear the sound of people packing up inside.

Qin Wan felt relieved and turned back to Cuiyuxuan.

Yes, if there really is a war, even if she wants to escape, she can't escape far. Moreover, this is such a big mansion, can Zhao Zhen really abandon it?

When Qin Wan thought of this, she felt a little more at ease, and then she lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

The next day, Qin Wan woke up very early. Because she was worried, she slept intermittently.

This morning, Qin Wan planned to go to the main courtyard to pay her respects and ask about the specific situation.

As soon as Qin Wan went out, she met a few servants. They were holding large bags in their arms, which contained valuable items. They were also surprised to see Qin Wan.

"Madam...Madam, why are you still in the mansion?"

Qin Wan was puzzled, "Where am I if I'm not here?"

When the servant heard what Qin Wan said, he looked at her with pity, "Madam, run for your life! The barbarians are coming in!"

Qin Wan's pupils shrank. "The barbarians have invaded. Where are mother and the others?"

The servant sneered, "The ladies were quietly taken away last night. We servants have been abandoned by the Marquis' Mansion."

Qin Wan: “…”

Qin Wan couldn't explain how she felt, but such a result seemed not unexpected.

Last night, if Caihuan hadn't reminded her, she would have known nothing and slept until dawn.

Qin Wan found it ridiculous when she thought about what happened last night.

I thought the servants and the marquis's wife and others were still there. It was really ridiculous.

The servants saw Qin Wan like this and felt a little sympathetic for her. "Madam, run quickly and get out of the city!"

After saying that, he ran away without caring about Qin Wan's reaction.

Qin Wan returned to the house, packed up all her belongings, tied up her clothes, and placed them on the beam.

She carried her weapons on her back and had no intention of leaving the mansion. Even if the Hu people came, she would not leave.

After making up her mind, Qin Wan went straight to the big kitchen. She wanted to see if she could find some food and hide it.

So, Qin Wan began to search the marquis' mansion like a little bee.

During this search, I actually found a lot of good things.

At least she found several of Zhao Zhen's weapons. Of course, she also found some small change and banknotes in the marquis's mansion, all of which were found in Zhao Zhen's yard.

Qin Wan simply put the money in her pocket as child support.

After searching Zhao Zhen's yard, Qin Wan went to Chunhui Hall.

Qin Wan could sense that the Marquis's wife and the others left in a hurry, and they didn't even have time to pack up some things.

The servants in the mansion were in a hurry to leave the city and had no time to take too many things with them.

This was a good thing for Qin Wan. All the big and small pots in the kitchen were taken away by Qin Wan, and she also carried away a small bag of grain from the granary.

Of course, there is a lot of sand in these grains, which is the bottom left in the granary.

Qin Wan had just hidden the food when she heard footsteps in the distance.

The sound was different from that of the servants in the mansion. The footsteps were heavier, and there were many people involved.

Qin Wan immediately took out a rope, tied one end around the beam, put on thorny shoes, and then she climbed up the beam like a monkey and hid.

The door was pushed open and a group of strong men with bare chests came in.

It is not an exaggeration to say that they are exposing their breasts. Their clothes only expose half of their shoulders, and they are even wearing skirts on their lower bodies.

As soon as Qin Wan saw him, she knew he was a Hu person.

After chatting for a while, they split up and began to search for Cuiyuxuan.

Soon, several people looked around the house and came out cursing.

"Lord Langbu, this place is obviously where servants live. There is nothing valuable here."

Langbu looked around and saw the dilapidated blacksmith shop again. He nodded and said, "Let's go and search other yards."

"Yes, my lord!"

Several Hu soldiers quickly left with Langbu.

Qin Wan was on the beam, watching everything. Although she knew that the person had left, she did not come down immediately.

She planned to spend the whole night on the beam, because this group of soldiers coming to loot would not be the only ones.

Qin Wan's idea was right. Just as he expected, several waves of people came to search. However, as soon as they arrived at the shabby courtyard of Cuiyuxuan and saw the blacksmith's shed, they guessed that this was the servants' room, so they left quickly.

After all, they were not the only soldiers who came in with them, and many of the treasures could belong to whoever found them.

What good things can servants have? Only in a magnificent courtyard can there be treasures.

Outside the city, the people who had received the news long ago successfully escaped from the city gate, and a large group of people were on their way to Youzhou.

Madam Hou and Song Zhirou were both in the carriage. Madam Hou looked at Song Zhirou with disapproval, "I asked you to send someone to inform Qin Wan, why didn't you tell her? Even if you hate her, you can't take her life!"

Last night, Marquis Zhenbei hastily assembled his troops and left Yanbei City. The army encountered the enemy in Wufeng County, and the two sides officially fought.

But at such a critical moment, the prefect of Yanbei heard that the Hu army was approaching and immediately abandoned the city and fled.

When Zhao Zhen learned the news, he immediately sent someone back to the marquis's mansion to pick up people and take his relatives out first.

After receiving the news, the marquis's wife immediately packed up her valuables and put away the deeds to her land and shops.

As time was running out, Madam Hou asked Song Zhirou to send someone to notify Qin Wan.

As it was night, and he had to take his close maids and servants with him, and he couldn't be discovered by other servants in the mansion, so he left in a hurry.

It was only then that Mrs. Hou realized that Qin Wan was not there.

Song Zhirou rubbed her hands, "Aunt, I really didn't mean it, Aunt."

Madam Hou had a look on her face that said, "Zhirou, when did you become so cruel?"

It is true that the Marquis’s wife doesn’t like Qin Wan, but she has no intention of abandoning her.

The Marquis's wife knew clearly what would happen to Qin Wan, a weak woman, if she stayed in the mansion.

Song Zhirou stopped pretending at this time, "Aunt, my cousin cares too much about Qin Wan. I can't let her stay with him anymore. Aunt, you must help me. My cousin can't know about this."

Madam Hou was very surprised. "What nonsense are you talking about? Why would Dalang care about Qin?"
