My humble days in ancient times

Huang Guiyun's operation failed last night because she ran into Xiong Da and Zhou Qiang. She kept thinking about it and decided to complete the mission tonight no matter what.

At night, when it was already dark, Huang Guiyun sneaked to the new house. She stood there and thought for a while, and decided that she couldn't enter from the front, so she carefully walked around and came to the back of the house.

Then, she placed a wooden stick she had brought with her on the ground, close to the wall, and then, with her feet on the stick, she struggled to climb up the wall and finally entered the yard smoothly.

Huang Guiyun had been here before on the day of the beam raising ceremony, so he was very familiar with the courtyard. It was nothing more than two large warehouses, one with a stove and the other without. There was also a row of five rooms reserved for people to live in.

Huang Guiyun quickly and secretly came to the kitchen, but the kitchen door was locked.

Huang Guiyun had no choice but to secretly find a brick to break the lock.

Du Lei soon heard the noise. He looked out the window alertly and vaguely felt that there seemed to be someone in the kitchen.

So Du Lei picked up a wooden stick and quietly went out.

Huang Guiyun was still worried: "This broken lock is really a nuisance!" Suddenly, a voice came from behind: "What are you doing?"

Huang Guiyun was startled by the sudden sound and quickly turned around to take a closer look. Standing before her was a man she didn't recognize at all. Why wasn't he the two men she saw that day? Could there be a lot of people living here?

The two people Huang Guiyun saw that day were Lei Da and Lei Er. They helped Xu Qinghe go to the village to get chili oil ingredients and other things.

Du Lei's face was serious, and he asked sternly, "What exactly are you doing in this yard? And how did you get over the wall?"

Huang Guiyun finally came to his senses and said, "Oh, this is Xu Ruyi's yard. May I ask who you are and why are you here?" Huang Guiyun thought to himself, he is really asking a question even though he knows the answer.

Du Lei smiled slightly and replied, "I am the eldest lady's servant."

What? Whose servant is this? Could it be that Xu Ruyi's? Huang Guiyun was full of doubts.

But when he thought that they were Xu Ruyi's servants, he felt a little surprised and envious.

Just at this moment, Du Dazhu came over quickly with a torch in hand.

As the torch drew closer, Du Lei finally recognized the person before him as Huang Guiyun. Wasn't this the woman the young lady had painted? The real person and the portrait were so remarkably similar!

Huang Guiyun finally got a clear look at Du Lei and Du Dazhu. Du Lei's face was extremely gloomy, so dark and terrifying that it looked as if water would drip out of him at any moment.

Huang Guiyun couldn't help but think to himself that it seemed that it was not advisable to stay here for long. It would be better to leave here as soon as possible to avoid causing himself more unnecessary trouble.

Huang Guiyun forced a smile that was uglier than crying and said, "It seems this is really a misunderstanding. It's really getting late. You guys should get some rest. I'll be leaving first."

Du Lei's face was full of sarcasm as he said, "Come as you please, leave as you please? How can it be so easy?"

Huang Guiyun was feeling a bit panicked at this moment, and even her voice trembled slightly: "What's wrong? What do you want?"

Du Lei smiled again and said, "I don't want to do anything, but you can't just leave like that now."

At this critical moment, Ye Mei and Song Ping'an hurried over.

Du Lei hurriedly said, "Ping An, go and tell the young master and the young lady."

Without saying a word, Song Ping'an immediately opened the gate and ran over like a gust of wind.

When Huang Guiyun saw this situation, he was immediately panicked and immediately followed Song Ping'an and ran out of the courtyard gate in a panic.

Du Lei couldn't bear to see her slip away right under his nose. He quickly threw a stick and hit her on the back with precision. Huang Guiyun stumbled and fell heavily to the ground with a cry of "ouch".

Du Lei stepped forward and asked condescendingly, "Are you still running?"

Huang Guiyun was still unwilling to give up, and shouted fiercely: "Let me go immediately, or you will never be able to stay in Xujia Village again."

Du Lei ignored her threats and turned a blind eye to her anger.

Xu Ruyi was sleeping soundly when she was awakened by Song Ping'an's urgent calls. Song Ping'an knocked on the door with all his strength and shouted, "Miss, wake up quickly..."

Xu Ruyi was awakened instantly, jumped out of bed immediately, walked quickly to the door and opened it, and asked anxiously: "Don't worry, what happened, tell me slowly."

At this moment, Xu Qinghe also heard the sound and walked over.

Song Pingan panted and said, "It's like this, we caught a thief. You guys should go and take a look now."

When Xu Ruyi and Xu Qinghe heard this, they decided to go and see what was going on.

Xu Ruyi told Xu Yuan to close the door, and then hurried towards the new house with Song Ping'an.

Xu Qinghe ran to find his grandparents and the village head.

After a while, the two of them arrived at the new house.

Huang Guiyun was standing alone in the kitchen, while Du Lei was sitting steadily on a stool beside her.

At this time, the temperature at night had become very low and cold, and Huang Guiyun was shivering from the cold.

Seeing Xu Ruyi coming over, Du Lei quickly stood up and called out respectfully, "Miss, she sneaked into the yard in the middle of the night. I don't know what she wants to do."

Xu Ruyi looked at Huang Guiyun coldly and asked in a bad tone, "Mrs. Huang, you often stay up late at night, but why do you always come to my house like this? Is there gold hidden in my land?"

Huang Guiyun's face changed instantly when she heard Du Lei address Xu Ruyi as "Miss." However, she quickly reacted and said, "Ruyi, I was just confused for a moment. I took the wrong road. It's so cold out. Please go back early. I really can't stand this cold any longer."

Xu Ruyi deliberately said to Du Lei: "This is your fault. It's so cold, why don't you let your sister-in-law come into the house to warm up?"

Du Lei understood and said, "Mrs. Huang, please."

Huang Guiyun took advantage of Du Lei's inattention and ran straight towards the gate of the courtyard.

Du Lei was agile and caught up with her in no time and pulled her into the house.

This is a VIP room. Xu Ruyi didn't expect that the guest coming tonight would be Huang Guiyun. She felt a little funny.

Xu Ruyi sat leisurely at the table, while Du Lei and his family stood respectfully aside. Song Pingan walked over and poured her a glass of water, saying, "Miss, please have some tea."

Xu Ruyi reached out and picked up the cup, blew gently on the surface of the water, and then drank slowly.

Huang Guiyun was stunned by Xu Ruyi's calmness. She widened her eyes and said she must be dreaming.

Xu Ruyi was not in a hurry to ask questions. She just wanted to deliberately leave Huang Guiyun alone so that she could wake up completely.
