The door creaked open, Xiao Hui poked his head out, and when he saw that I was alone, he invited me into the house.

I closed the door and saw Xiaowei sitting at the table grinding ink. When she saw it was me, a smile broke out on her face, and she jumped off the stool and ran to my side.

"How come you have time to spare, young lady?" she asked curiously.

"Something happened, so I lied and came back." I put the lunch box on the table and said hurriedly.

When Xiao Hui and Xiao Wei heard that there was an urgent matter, they both stopped smiling.

Xiao Hui asked, "Miss, what do you want me to help you with?"

I nodded and said, "Write a letter for me. It won't be long, just follow my instructions."

After hearing this, Xiao Hui sat down at the table seriously and picked up the horsehair brush I gave him.

"Write a letter to the young master and say, 'The two-handled pot has appeared. I hope you will come back soon. But please do not enter the mansion. It would be best if you could take me away.' Sign it with Lanxiang."

Xiao Hui finished writing quickly, and Xiao Wei helped to blow away the ink that had not yet dried.

Xiao Hui frowned and asked me, "Girl, is there any danger?"

I hesitated for a moment and replied, "Not for the time being. Don't worry. Just don't go out if you can, and it's best to avoid the young lady from the Feng family."

Xiao Hui and Xiao Wei both nodded without asking why, obviously they trusted me very much.

Xiaowei saw that the ink had dried, so she handed me the letter with both hands.

I took it and folded it a few times, but I was at a loss as to how to give it to Tu Shanjing. According to what he said before, it might take a few days for him to come back. The merchant who sells the boats probably won't be in the city, but most likely at the dock or port near the city.

I asked Xiao Hui: "Before Ruiyang set off, did he tell you where they were going?"

Xiao Hui shook his head and replied, "I haven't told you yet. Miss... do you want the young master to receive this letter immediately?"

I heard something was going on in his words, so I quickly pulled his arm and asked, "Yes, it would be best if it could be delivered right away. Do you know any way to do it?"

Xiao Hui took out a fire-stick-like object from his bosom and said, "The fireworks that were set off at the inn that day, the master asked Ruiyang to leave one for me. He said that if there is an emergency, the fireworks can be set off to send a message. They can see it from miles away and will come immediately."

I was overjoyed, thinking that Tu Shanjing was worried about Yue Liang returning to seek revenge, so he left me a signal flare. But I was also worried that if he came back and saw Fang Feng Yiying disrupting the timeline again, I would not be able to control what would happen next, so I came up with a compromise.

"Xiao Wei, Xiao Hui, I'll have to trouble you two to guard the alleys on both sides of the gate. When you see the young master and his men coming back, stop them immediately. And then... write another letter, each of you carry a copy, and hand it over to the young master when you see him. Remember not to let him into the house, and make sure he reads the letter first. Oh, and if he asks, just say that I'm fine and there's no danger."

After Xiao Hui finished writing another letter, I took out the small square jade seal that Tu Shanjing gave me, and printed a pattern of a nine-tailed fox with a blooming tail on each of them, along with the previous one, and then gave them to Xiao Hui and Xiao Wei.

"If you set off fireworks inside Chen Rong Mansion, it will be too conspicuous. You must find a way to bypass the guards at the door..." As I spoke, a smile appeared on my face.

"Girl, what are you laughing at?" Xiaowei asked curiously.

"Miss, you must have a solution." Xiao Hui replied to her in a serious tone.

"Yes, I have a way, but this method... will inevitably be a bit unfair to you." I looked at Xiaowei and Xiaohui.

"Just tell us, girl. We will go through fire and water without hesitation. We have heard those chivalrous stories for a long time. Even if we are asked to knock down all the guards at the door, Xiao Hui is willing to give it a try even if it means we have to die!" Xiao Hui said sternly.

"No, no, no! You don't have to die. It's not that serious!" I waved my hands and said, "My idea... It doesn't exist in chivalrous stories. Master Fenglong likes riding, shooting and hunting. I saw that there are several dog holes at the front and back doors for hunting dogs to go in and out..."

As I was talking, I felt a little embarrassed, but Xiao Hui blinked and understood.

"Then Xiaowei and I will transform into our original forms, sneak out of Chenrong Mansion through the dog hole quietly, run far away and set off the fireworks." Xiaohui continued.

"That's right! I'm just afraid that you..."

Xiao Wei took over the conversation at this time: "Hey! I thought it was a big deal! Don't worry, young lady, in our Tushan Mansion, sometimes when I go out to look for Xiao Hui, I always change into my original form and go out through a hole. Whenever Xiao Hui comes into the mansion, he either goes through a dog hole or a rat hole. We are used to it, so there is no need for such a thing!"

"That's great." I felt a little comforted after hearing this, but then I thought, "Wait a minute, is Tushan's house so dilapidated? Are there so many dog ​​holes and rat holes?!"

Xiao Wei laughed and said, "Don't worry, young lady! It's not where the young master usually lives, but near the firewood room in the west. It's remote there, and Tushan Mansion is so big that few people come here. Some of the holes that have been in disrepair for a long time have not been discovered by anyone."

I nodded, "I see. Then you guys go now, be careful on the road. If you are discovered, don't confront them head on. Just say that the kids wanted to set off some fireworks, and seeing that most of Chen Rong's house is made of wood, they were afraid that they might accidentally set the house on fire, so they left the house."

Xiaowei and Xiaohui responded, stood up, put away the letter, said goodbye to me and went out.

I felt anxious and weak, then I noticed that it was already past lunch time. In addition, I had been thinking hard and rushing back, so I was physically and mentally exhausted.

I picked up the lunch box and slipped back to my room. The food had already gone cold, and I didn't have the spiritual power to heat it up, so I had no choice but to eat some cold food with hot water to fill my stomach.

Not long after I finished eating, there was a knock on the door. I opened the door and saw it was another personal maid of Chen Rong Xinyue, the one named Linglan.

She bowed and said, "Girl, Miss and Miss Fengfeng are shooting arrows in the back garden, and they want you to join in the fun."

I thought to myself that there was no need for me to join in the fun. Sparks were flying between them, so I hoped they wouldn't hit me.

Seeing my hesitation, Linglan took my arm and said, "Miss Fangfeng's archery skills are extraordinary. It's rare to see her like that. Come with me and see for yourself!"

I felt that she was exerting some force, but I couldn't persuade her. I knew that she had to complete the master's order no matter what, so I had no choice but to let her half-carry me out and walk to the back garden.

The heating stove in the pavilion had already been lit, and the red flames could be seen jumping from afar. Chen Rongxinyue laughed loudly, and heard a few words in the wind, which seemed to be praising Fangfeng Yiying's archery skills.

Seeing me approaching, she waved her hand and said with a smile, "Look, Lanxiang came so quickly, and her personality is quite similar to yours! No wonder yours married her. I've never heard of yours falling in love with any other girl."

Fangfeng Yiying turned around with a bow in hand, stared at me as if staring at a bird in the sky, and slowly said: "So, she is no longer from Tushan Mansion, but from Chenrong Mansion?"
