Chapter 38: Plundering the Wu Family
Qu Jingyao struggled to free her hands. She frowned and added sternly to the ginkgo nuts on the ground:
"Don't tell your former master about my affairs in the future. Since he gave you to me, you are mine."
Bai Guo was startled and raised her eyes. Leng Yanxiu shot a sharp look at her, and Bai Guo was so scared that she immediately lowered her head and dared not breathe.
Leng Yanxiu's cold voice came: "Did you hear that? From now on, do as your master says."
"Yes, I've got that in mind." Bai Guo's eyes flashed with an incredible look of shock and she quickly responded.
This was the first time that the master compromised for someone, and she actually saved her life. At this moment, she admired the lady in front of her even more from the bottom of her heart.
Leng Yanxiu asked Bai Guo to send her master back before leaving.
"I will help you erase the Wu family."
Qu Jingyao's face turned cold, and she gritted her teeth and said, "No, it's more interesting if I want to avenge myself."
Leng Yanxiu raised the corners of his lips and said "hmm", which was considered as an agreement. This little thing has an interesting personality and he likes it.
Qu Jingyao walked to the door and was about to pull down the scarf from her eyes, but Bai Guo stopped her and whispered in her ear, "Miss, let's go back. The person has left."
When Qu Jingyao heard that the man was running quite fast, she stamped her feet in frustration and said through gritted teeth, "Go!"
It was already very late at this time. Bai Guo took Qu Jingyao out of the villa for a long way before taking off the embroidered handkerchief.
"Are you so afraid of that man?" Qu Jingyao asked calmly.
Bai Guo's heart sank, and a helpless look appeared on his face. Thinking of the fate of those who betrayed their master before, his face suddenly turned pale...
Qu Jingyao thought about how the man just now said that killing someone was easier than crushing an ant. It was better to stay away from such a cold-blooded and dangerous man. She made up her mind and touched the ring on her hand, thinking about how to return it to him when she had the chance.
She didn't want to be involved with such a dangerous man.
"Does Baiguo know where the Wu family is?"
Qu Jingyao thought that since she had come to the city, she should not go back empty-handed, and she had to collect some interest first.
Bai Guo nodded slightly and pointed to the large mansion not far ahead: "Master, that is the Wu family." There was a hint of excitement in his eyes as he spoke.
Qu Jingyao didn't see it, but clearly heard Bai Guo's words "Master!"
"Master? I guess that man is not a simple person. Are you willing to recognize me, a peasant girl, as your master?"
Bai Guo almost lost her pace and stopped in the alley at the backyard of the Wu family. She stood in front of Qu Jingyao and knelt on one knee:
"From the moment the master didn't give up on me and saved me, I have been willing to follow you."
"Isn't it because you're afraid of your former master?"
Qu Jingyao jokingly crossed her arms and said with a half-curled smile.
Bai Guo explained with an embarrassed look on her face. She was afraid, but also somewhat relieved. She was relieved to be given to the master. This was the first time in her life that someone cared about her, and that person was the wife. Her first dress was bought by the master...
Listening to Bai Guo's words, Qu Jingyao put her hand to her lips and coughed lightly, then asked her to stand up first and not to kneel down at every turn in the future. She didn't have such a rule, the only thing was that she couldn't betray her master, otherwise...
Baiguo raised her right hand and began to swear, fearing that her master would not believe her.
"Okay, take me in first."
Although Bai Guo didn't know what her master was going to do, she still sent the person into the yard neatly. She asked her master with a worried look on her face what he wanted to do, and told him to just leave it to her.
"Let's go first. You can help me lead the patrol away later."
As they spoke, Qu Jingyao and his servant tiptoed towards the inner courtyard.
Relying on the experience of filming costume dramas in the previous life, the owners of these mansions usually set up the treasury in the study, and the private treasury of the ladies of each courtyard is in their own courtyard.
She called out to Baiguo and searched the courtyard of the Wu Mansion's study.
"Master, be careful, the patrol guard is coming over there."
The two of them swiftly hid behind the rockery and did not come out until the guards left.
Soon the two of them locked onto the location of the study. Qu Jingyao asked Bai Guo to keep watch outside while she tiptoed into the study.
With the faint moonlight, she groped around in the study, but found nothing after a round. She stood by the table with her hand on her chin and thought, usually there are some mechanisms or secret rooms, and she wondered if the Wu family was the same.
She began to feel around on the bookshelves one by one until she saw the door sandwiched between two bookshelves.
The corners of her lips twitched. It was so obvious but she didn't see it just now. She was speechless!
There's another room!
She reached out and slowly pushed open the door. It turned out to be a dark room without even a window. It was really pitch black. She shouted to Manman in the space and took out a huge night pearl from the space.
The moment she took it out, the whole room became bright, and she saw boxes and cages filled with rare treasures and rows of shelves filled with some famous calligraphy and paintings.
"Heh...it's not my fault, take it!"
In the blink of an eye, everything in the room disappeared, leaving only some empty shelves standing alone in the room.
After putting everything away, Qu Jingyao walked out of the room quickly without stopping. Bai Guo heard the noise and quickly rushed to the door.
"master!"
"Let's go, let's go for a walk in the inner courtyard."
As they talked, the master and servant walked back and forth in the Wu Mansion. Wherever Qu Jingyao went, nothing was left. Even the food stored in the mansion was taken away by her.
"Let's go and teach that young master of the Wu family a lesson." After saying that, the two of them groped their way to the young master's room. At this moment, he was sleeping soundly with his beloved concubine in his arms.
Qu Jingyao asked Baiguo to press their sleeping acupoints, and finally ordered Baiguo to beat him up. It seemed that when he woke up tomorrow, he would not be able to get out of bed for at least a month.
"Let's go home."
Qu Jingyao clapped her hands lightly, with a sly smile on her lips.
Hearing the sound of the clapper outside at three o'clock in the morning, Bai Guo picked up his master and used his lightness skills to quickly run towards Lingshui Village.
They didn't know that shortly after leaving the city, Leng Yanxiu had already received a report from his subordinates.
"Master, the person has left the city, but after leaving, he first went to the Wu family. Master... are you sure that Miss Qu is the person that Taoist Tianji mentioned?"
Leng Yanxiu raised the corners of his lips, and his slender fingers with distinct joints tapped lightly on the table, making a "da da" rhythm. The subordinates below him lowered their heads and stopped talking.
"Last time, it was her blood pressure that controlled the poison in my body. I think it's correct. Go down, and give orders to return to the capital early tomorrow morning."
"Yes, I obey!"
The man responded respectfully, then bowed and left the room.
Leng Yanxiu leaned back in his chair, his eyes slowly closing, but the smile at the corner of his lips continued to deepen:
It's time to go back and put those monsters and ghosts away.
Lingshui Village.
When Qu Jingyao and his servant returned home, Liu was still sleeping. Bai Guo looked at his master who had already lain down, then reached out and tapped lightly on the lady's body to untie the sleeping point.
She slowly lay down.
