Fortunately, Shen Jiayu had taken medicine, so the smoke would not have any effect on them. She just had to pretend to be knocked out and let the people outside relax their vigilance, and she would find a chance to take Song Qinghong out.

There was silence in the house.

There were voices of two women talking outside the house.

"Your idea is still good, but next time don't hide it from me. I'm not stupid. I just didn't expect Song Qinghong doesn't like to drink."

"It's my fault. I suddenly thought that she might not like drinking, so I tampered with the wine glasses and dishes. The banquet had already started, so I couldn't go up to Miss He and inform her."

"It's okay. This time it was a success. I'm going to the banquet now and find an excuse to bring people over. You just stay here and watch. Wait until we are almost there, then open the door and go in. Got it?"

A strong male voice sounded, "Yes."

Two people walked out of the house, leaving only a man and another woman outside.

From the sound of their conversation, Shen Jiayu roughly knew who the two women outside were. The ones who left were He Congshuang and her maid, and the one who stayed behind waiting was a girl who had talked to He Congshuang at the banquet.

She couldn't wait for someone to come in and get into danger.

Shen Jiayu stood up gently, as if he had turned into a nimble cat, with light steps. The people outside had no idea that the person in the house had woken up.

She tiptoed to Song Qinghong, bent down and whispered in her ear, "It was He Congshuang who did this. She went to call someone. It will take a while to get here. I will open the window over here. After I pry it open, I will go behind the door and wait for the person outside to come in. I will knock the person unconscious. When you can move, go to this window and I will take you out."

Shen Jiayu didn't want to tell her the dirty things, at least not now. He would wait until it was safe before telling her.

Song Qinghong blinked her eyes obediently.

After explaining everything to her, Shen Jiayu walked to the window near the bed and carefully observed the structure of the window.

Perhaps due to years of disrepair, the window was propped up from the outside with a wooden stick, but part of the wood had rotted and started to fall off, so it could still be removed.

Shen Jiayu pulled out a hairpin from her head, gently pushed the rotten wooden block, and pushed it lightly outwards, and the window frame loosened.

After a slight push, the wooden stick outside loosened a few times. Shen Jiayu curled the corners of his mouth slightly and turned back to nod at Song Qinghong.

That's it.

Then she walked to the door and listened carefully to the noise outside.

"It's been so long since they came. I'll go over and take a look. You hold on! You must wait until most people have arrived before going in. If the person inside is not knocked unconscious and runs out, you should know better than me what the consequences will be."

"I will remember this and act according to the young lady's plan."

Gongsun Rou looked at the man with disgust, turned around and walked out. She never thought about going to see why He Congshuang hadn't come over yet. She just didn't want to stay here any longer.

When He Congshuang arrived with her people, they accidentally saw her here alone, and she couldn't explain herself.

She sneered, "Humph, what noble ladies? Go ahead and fight. The more fierce the better."

After she left, the man was very obedient and just stood not far away without moving.

Shen Jiayu in the room pressed against the door, waiting for the next move at any time.

He Congshuang arrived late, and in order to send a signal to this side, he started speaking loudly from a distance.

"I don't know where Sister Qinghong has gone by herself. Oh my! If something happens in my house, how can I explain it to Brother Yuanbai?"

Her voice came over, and the man outside the house began to move, stepping forward to unlock the door. Shen Jiayu winked at Song Qinghong.

The man dressed as a scholar opened the door and saw Song Qinghong lying on the bed. He smiled obscenely, closed the door without looking back, and walked forward, muttering, "What can happen? This smoke has never failed. Haha, beauty, let me..."

Before he could even utter the word "yes", Shen Jiayu stepped forward and hit him on the back of the head. He quickly lost consciousness and fell to the ground.

The footsteps outside the house were getting closer and closer, and He Congshuang and his men were about to come over.

Seeing this, Song Qinghong did not hesitate. She stood up and walked towards the window, imitating Shen Jiayu's posture and pushing the window hard.

The wooden stick outside fell to the ground, making two dull bangs.

Song Qinghong was delighted and increased the strength in her hands. The old window made a teeth-grinding sound and was pushed open by her. She immediately climbed out. However, this was the first time in her life that she had climbed a window. She was not very good at it and it took her some effort before she rolled out of the window and fell to the ground.

She didn't need to worry about Shen Jiayu's skills. She just had to hide well and not be discovered after she went out.

Shen Jiayu in the room was not idle either. After knocking the man unconscious, she dragged him all the way to the bed, helped him onto the bed, and covered him with the quilt. There was no time to do anything else. She immediately turned over and went out the window to meet Song Qinghong outside.

Before leaving, put the fallen sticks back in place.

The footsteps became louder and louder, and they could even hear other people talking.

"Ms. He, Miss Song is just drunk. I think she is just confused. Nothing should happen to her."

"Yes, you don't have to worry."

"There are many servants in the mansion. I think someone will see it. They will find the person eventually."

"..."

Shen Jiayu kept pulling Song Qinghong away from here, walked to the end of the room and stood still to observe the surrounding environment.

There is also a wing room in this small courtyard, on the opposite side.

They couldn't escape from this small courtyard. If they went out, they would be discovered by He Congshuang immediately. They could only run to the room opposite before anyone came over.

"Sister Song, follow me closely."

Shen Jiayu held Song Qinghong's hand tightly. Her words seemed to have magic. Song Qinghong's hands, which were shaking with fear, slowly calmed down.

Song Qinghong nodded, and Shen Jiayu took her quickly through the bamboo forest in the small courtyard and walked to the door of the opposite wing.

There was no lock on this room. Shen Jiayu pushed the door open, pulled Song Qinghong in, and closed the door tightly.

Song Qinghong usually went out in a horse-drawn carriage, and after running such a short distance, her breathing became a little disordered.

The next second after they entered the room, a maid walked into the courtyard and shouted outside, "Miss, we found her! We found Miss Song. She is in Dieyu Pavilion."

The sound of footsteps outside suddenly came towards their yard in an orderly manner. It was obvious that there were no less than twenty people coming.

Their situation was basically safe, and Shen Jiayu then told Song Qinghong his guess.

Song Qinghong's face, which had turned red due to jogging, suddenly turned pale, and her eyes were full of shock, as if she couldn't believe it.
