Shiye seemed to be familiar with this kind of thing. After playing with the bookshelf for a while, he opened the mechanism of this place, which was a small window.
It was still night at this time, there was no light coming in from the outside, and it was impossible to tell where it was facing.
Shi Ye took out the dagger from his waist and gradually expanded the window, and finally the two people climbed out.
Until now, Shi Ye has not forgotten to restore the small window.
When the two people came out, they discovered that they were in a wasteland behind the ancestral hall, and the small window was just a bunch of cracks in the chaos.
The east had begun to turn fish belly white. Qiao Yuyan thought for a while and simply stuffed the envelope into Shi Ye's arms, "You go out and, if possible, contact your master's people in the capital. This thing must be delivered to the eldest master."
in the hands."
Shiye looked at Qiao Yuyan with some worry, "I don't know when I will come back once I leave!"
Qiao Yuyan nodded, "You have to go then. As long as you deliver it, we will probably be relieved. The food here can last for a few days. Don't worry about it!"
Shi Ye knew that the matter was of great importance and did not dare to delay. He immediately jumped in twos and disappeared behind the wall.
Qiao Yuyan walked quickly and carefully back to their yard.
Fortunately, there was no movement in the inner courtyard at this time, so she followed the wall and came back.
Pinlan and Wenshi breathed a sigh of relief when they saw her coming back.
Pinlan was almost frightened to tears by her, "Madam, you are back. There are soldiers with weapons outside. If this is not good, I will not have the shame to go back to see the old lady."
Wen also felt like she was surviving a disaster. She looked Qiao Yuyan up and down twice to make sure she was not injured before she felt relieved.
Qiao Yuyan asked Pinlan to quickly turn off the lights, then washed herself in the extremely weak morning light, and then went to bed.
In the past few nights, she had been picking up leaves and bringing things over, and tonight she didn't sleep the whole night. Qiao Yuyan was really tired.
She simply asked Wen to tell everyone that she was taking care of the accounts in the house and was preparing to sleep for a few hours.
When he vaguely saw Mrs. Wen about to go out, something suddenly flashed in her mind and she immediately shouted: "Sister-in-law Fourth, stay!"
Mrs. Wen just thought she was still uneasy, so she came back to comfort her, "Don't worry, there are already rules here these days, so you can sleep for a few hours and it'll be fine."
Qiao Yuyan's sleepiness completely disappeared at this time. She quickly took Wen's hand and said, "Sister-in-law Fourth, don't say that I'm looking at the account books, just say that I'm sick and can't take care of things. For the time being, everything inside and outside has stopped.
I'll leave it to you to take charge."
"Ah?" Wen was surprised, "You don't have to sleep for that long, right?"
"No! Just do what I say," Qiao Yuyan thought again, "Tell Qixi not to go out, just stay with me. If anyone comes to visit me, tell Qixi to hide in the cupboard."
"This...why is this?" Wen was puzzled.
Qiao Yuyan thought for a while and said: "It's hard for me to explain this to you now, but I have to do it."
Seeing that she was serious, Mrs. Wen stopped asking any more questions and immediately agreed to go.
In the afternoon, people outside were talking about whether Qiao Yuyan had run out of food and was pretending to be sick.
Wen immediately took action to find out the person who spread the rumors casually.
But she has always had no sense of presence in the house, and the subordinates are not very afraid of her. In addition, there are people who are fanning the flames behind the scenes, so the situation is a bit unstable.
Who would have thought that in the end it was the Chen family and the Chu family who stood up together and supported the Wen family, and this suppressed everyone's suspicion.
However, no matter what the purpose was or what camp they were from, they all came together to see Qiao Yuyan.
As a result, Qiao Yuyan didn't give any face at all, and didn't even show her face. She only said that she was infected with a relatively severe cold, and she was afraid that she would be too close to others.
Nowadays, I can't see a doctor. If I get sick, I will probably lose my life.
Therefore, although everyone doubted whether she was really sick, no one dared to approach her.
It's not worth it to joke about your own life.
By the time the lights were turned on in the evening, there were fewer people coming.
Mrs. Wen didn't show up and just sent Mr. Yan over. She didn't even want to maintain the superficial peace.
During this period of time, she knew she was losing face and had hardly been out, so no one said anything.
The old lady, on the other hand, sent Nanny Xin over after turning off the lights.
Logically speaking, in this case, Qiao Yuyan should show up, but she was bitten to death and no one was seen. Pinlan had no choice but to quietly confess to Aunt Xin, saying that she had just taken a rest.
Fortunately, the other party didn't care and told them to take good care of them.
Then, when no one was around, he took out a paper bag and said, "This is from the old lady's place. It only has so much. You can stew it and give it to your wife to drink. Don't let anyone notice it."
After Grandma Xin left, Pinlan opened the paper package and found several precious medicinal materials.
After Qiao Yuyan learned about it, her heart felt warm. Sometimes, you don't feel anything. When others appreciate your efforts and take action, you will realize that it is worth it.
Qiao Yuyan recalled what Mrs. Wen had just told her about the afternoon situation. Mrs. Chu and Mrs. Chen had never gotten along.
Even in front of him before, the two of them had been showing off, intentionally or unintentionally.
She also had her own opinions on the two nieces and nephews. Generally speaking, each had its own advantages and disadvantages. She did not expect that they would come forward to maintain the order she had established at this time.
Both were in the Wen family, and she was married into the family. What she saw in her previous life and this life turned out to be two completely different scenes.
She suddenly understood that the world you live in is actually a projection of your inner world.
In her previous life, she only focused on pleasing Mrs. Wen, obeyed Mrs. Wen's orders, returned to her small home, and took care of Wen Liangcheng meticulously, putting him first.
As a result, no one from top to bottom paid attention to her, and her efforts could not be noticed by anyone at all.
Even though Mrs. Wen relied on her dowry to survive the difficulties, she didn't miss her at all.
But now she is famous for her bad temper and is not willing to support anyone at all. Who knows, but she has gained the respect of many people.
Qiao Yuyan looked at the ginseng and bird's nests and told Pinlan to put them away so that no one would see them.
Then he asked Wen about the specific situation today, such as who was with whom and who was different from usual.
Mrs. Wen had already guessed that she had something important to do, so she didn't hide it and told her everything.
