Traveling through ancient times: daily life on the run

After seeing off Madam Bai and the two girls, Lord Chen immediately went to find Lord Shi, the prefect.

Lord Shi has always been at odds with the Bai family, but he can't do anything about the Bai family's powerful backers, so he can only swallow his anger.

If you tell him about this, he will definitely be happy. Just wait for the fisherman to benefit while the snipe and the clam fight.

Speaking of Qin Bingrui's yard, it was empty.

After breakfast, Baihu and Gouzi lazily went for a walk in the yard. Bai Lingyi took Monkey to the academy, under the pretext of practicing monkey painting.

"I really want to be a human. I'm so bored at home. I can't go shopping. It's so boring."

Xia Liang sat by the pool, splashing the water out of boredom, creating splashes of water.

The lackey disagreed. What was the good of being a two-legged beast? He couldn't run as fast as the others on four legs, and he didn't have much hair on his body. He also had to be wrapped in a bunch of complicated cloth, which was just a burden.

It was now filled with joy, barking at the koi in the pond, wishing it could fish them out for Lord White Tiger to taste.

Mr. Fang's hearing wasn't very good, so he asked Mrs. Fang, "Old lady, do we have a dog at home? Did Chu'er buy it yesterday? Why do I keep hearing a dog barking?"

"Your ears are defective. I didn't hear anything."

Gao could naturally hear the dog barking, but Fang had already told her that Master Qin raised a dog to guard his house in order to prevent others from entering his yard.

Gao didn't dare say much. After all, everything she ate and used was provided by Young Master Qin! Moreover, he had personally sent her two sons to the Songming Academy. It was said that it only cost three taels of silver a month. Given her eldest son's mediocrity and her youngest son's honesty, how could they possibly get into the Songming Academy? It seemed that Young Master Qin was no ordinary man.

They simply pretended not to hear it, no matter whether it was a dog barking or a tiger roaring. Anyway, their Fang family’s yard was big and outsiders couldn’t hear it.

Yan Xuan and He Yuan easily jumped over the blue brick wall surrounding the Fang family mansion.

The house was quite big, and if it weren't for the barking of the dog, they would not have known which courtyard the white tiger had run to.

They originally thought that there were many servants in the house, and the two of them even dressed up in black. However, when they entered the house, they didn't see a single person within ten feet.

"Brother Xuan, it seems that the Fang family has indeed fallen on hard times. Just look at the dilapidated gate and the plaque, and several parts of the wall are a bit loose, and no one seems to be repairing them."

"What do you want to say?"

"It is precisely because of this that Miss Qin was able to bring the White Tiger into the courtyard without telling the Fang and Bai families."

"That's true. If we mistakenly thought it was the White Tiger that got into Miss Qin's carriage yesterday, then today it seems Miss Qin was deliberately trying to deceive us?

She actually knew Baihu already, but because she was not clear about the situation in the Fang Mansion, she left Baihu outside the city."

"Brother Xuan, you are finally smart for once."

"..."

The two entered the courtyard where Qin Bingrui lived - Piaolingshe, which sounded very desolate.

Baihu told the lackey to shut up, she knew that what was coming would eventually come.

So when Yan Xuan and He Yuan approached the poolside, their eyes met.

No one said anything, just looked at each other quietly.

Finally, the lackey lost his composure and started to bark at the two strangers who came in.

The white tiger patted its head gently with its paw, signaling it to shut up. The lackey wagged its tail and shut up quietly.

This was the shocking scene that Yan Xuan and He Yuan saw. The lackey actually listened to Baihu so obediently. The key point was that Baihu really understood human nature.

It seems that what happened on the cliff last time was not an illusion.

The look in her eyes told them both that she knew them.

"Brother Xuan, although we are not wrong, what should we do next? Should we reveal that Baihu is here? If we reveal Baihu's whereabouts, will it cause trouble for the Fang family?"

"Just wait and see. If she doesn't mess with us, we won't mess with her either."

Yan Xuan knew that no one else would come into the yard, so he wanted to sit in the pavilion by the pond.

He kept staring at the white tiger as he walked. The white tiger saw him sit down and didn't bother to pay attention to him, continuing to slap the water with its claws.

He Yuan thought to himself, I can't just stare like this until dark, right?

"Let's wait here for Miss Qin to come back. I don't believe she'll stay on the street."

If Baihu could speak, he would like to ask her in person why she chose to be with Miss Qin?

Qin Bingrui sneezed while walking.

"Grandpa, someone must be missing me."

Luo Yu rolled his eyes: "Besides Xia Liang, who else do you think misses you?"

"Should I go back now?"

Luo Yu held his mother Fang's hand at this time, looking worried: "Mother, I think something must have happened with Baihu. Miss Qin and I are not convenient to show our faces. Do you have any way to deal with them casually?

Just explain that White Tiger has nothing to do with us. It was White Tiger who saved us on the way, and then took advantage of the opportunity to hitch a ride on our carriage to escape from the pursuit. We are just repaying the favor."

Qin Bingrui sneezed again and said awkwardly, "Sister, who do you think will believe this if you tell others? Do you believe it? Aunt Fang, do you believe it?"

Fang nodded and said carefully: "I believe it!"

Qin Bingrui: “…”

Luo Yu chuckled. "No one would believe us if we told them. After all, if we lie too much, we'll be exposed sooner or later. But my mother is gentle, virtuous, well-educated, and sensible. She's delicate but not cowardly. Plus, she's the distinguished eldest lady of the Bai family. Who wouldn't believe what she says?"

Fang's face turned red and white. If this matter was not handled well, she would feel guilty for these high-level flatterers.

"It's okay, Miss Qin. Just trust Aunt Fang this time. Although I have never lied, this White Tiger did save my life and Yi'er's life. I am willing to do my best to help."

Only after hearing what Fang said did Luo Yu feel relieved.

As long as Fang is willing to help her despite her human nature, I believe that Yan Xuan, the hot-blooded young man, will not do anything too extreme.

What's more, Xia Liang had a good opinion of him, so his character was worthy of recognition.

If the Queen's people come after us, it will be a big trouble. Then we will have to rely on Yan Xuan, Feiying and others to provide cover.

To survive, we must benefit each other. We help those who deserve it, and avoid those who don't. We must punish those who harm us, and we will help those who help us.

In a survivable world, there is no right or wrong, black or white, and there is no pure choice.

After Fang left, Qin Bingrui and Luo Yu went to Prince Rui's palace together.

The gate of Prince Rui's Palace is as majestic as it can be. It is majestic and magnificent, like a solid city gate, standing on the bluestone steps, demonstrating power and majesty. The two stone lions on both sides of the gate are majestic.

There are special guards with swords guarding outside the door.

Luo Yu had inquired with the Fang family and learned that Prince Rui was the tenth son of the late emperor's most favored concubine, eight years younger than the emperor and six years older than Prince Ning. He was 28 years old now and was not very close to the people and had no big ambitions. He only liked poetry and songs in his life. When he had nothing to do, he liked to organize a group of literati and retainers to compete in literary talent. He was almost oblivious to what was happening outside.

If he were in the 21st century, he would definitely be a literary youth.
