It's really hard to just farm peacefully.

Chapter 113

Under the cover of night, Jiang Yan and Chunying climbed up the high wall in a few leaps, and then with the help of Yile, they grabbed the rope and slowly slid down, and finally stepped steadily on the ground outside the guest house without making any big noise.

After young master Chang Ruxing and young lady Chang Ruyue fed them regardless of the wind and snow, Jiang Yan and Chunying not only recovered their physical strength, but they were also able to give some extra food to bribe the maid guarding the east courtyard gate.

The taste and quality of the Chang family's food were clearly divided into different levels. For example, the maids who guarded the gate not only received unpalatable and small meals, but also rarely had meat in a month.

Therefore, under the food offensive of Jiang Yan and others, the servant girl at the East Gate quickly gave up resistance and told everything she knew, even turning a deaf ear to the wall-kicking behavior that occurred at fixed times in the courtyard recently.

Ximen's maid did hear the noise, but after she reported it, the manager thought it was a trivial matter and refused to reward her. After being scolded several times by Nanny Huang, she chose to ignore it.

Miss Fu in the guest house thus became a transparent person in the huge Chang Mansion.

The maid at the east courtyard gate said that the masters of the Chang family were going to have a banquet in the main courtyard for the Reunion Festival today, and many servants in the mansion had been transferred to help, so they were very busy.

She spoke of this with envy, but soon realized that it was inappropriate to say such hurtful words in front of the ignored guests, so she avoided talking about it.

Without worrying about Miss Fu getting hurt by this incident, Jiang Yan and Chunying immediately decided to visit Chang's house at night while there were many people around.

The two of them walked cautiously through the courtyards, following the shadows of the wall.

Based on the general layout of the courtyards of wealthy families provided by Miss Fu, plus the few known courtyards...

After turning several corners, Jiang Yan and Chunying saw a row of brightly lit... kitchens?

Chunying looked around and after confirming that there was no one around, she immediately pulled Jiang Yan into another dark path.

The scale of the Chang Mansion was even larger than Fu Nulang had expected. They had been walking for so long but were still wandering around the inner courtyard. No wonder the guards patrolling along the way were nowhere to be seen.

Jiang Yan retraced the route they had taken, pointed at the kitchen and whispered, "Let's go this way and find the stable first."

In order to facilitate travel and be less affected by the odor of livestock, the stables are usually located in the southeast corner of the mansion. If you can successfully find it, it is only one door away from the exit of the mansion.

Chunying also affirmed Jiang Yan's decision with some unknown thoughts.

There was a heavy wooden door separating the inner and outer courtyards of the Chang Mansion. In the moonlight reflected from the snow, one could see the tightly closed bolt, and the gatekeeper was hiding in some corner.

The two of them didn't dare to bet that the gatekeeper wouldn't notice them turning the bolt, nor did they know if there was anyone else guarding the door. To be safe, they quietly walked a hundred steps away.

Jiang Yan and Chunying pressed against the wall of the house, listening to the frequency of the patrol guards passing by outside the yard.

It may be that there are fewer people on duty during the Reunion Festival, so the intervals are about a quarter of an hour.

After another wave of guards left, Chunying quickly jumped up and clung to the top of the wall. She slowly and carefully stuck half of her head out to confirm that there was no one below, then she flipped over the wall with all her strength, grabbed the rope and slowly slid down to the ground.

Jiang Yan, who received the safety signal, followed closely behind, but she didn't expect that there was a foot-wide ice belt along the base of the wall. She stepped on it and lost her balance, almost falling to the ground.

Jiang Yan glared at Chun Ying, angry that she didn't remind him, and then looked at the clear depression in the snow on the wall caused by the two of them climbing.

If the patrolling guards looked up and took a glance, they would definitely find the clues...

Jiang Yan swung the rope quickly, and large pieces of undamaged snow fell down and scattered on the ice belt.

"What are you doing?" Chunying hurriedly whispered to stop Jiang Yan's actions. This was too obvious and it was obvious that there was something fishy going on.

"Clean up the traces. Does it look like the snow sliding down naturally?" Jiang Yan asked, pointing at the snow on the top of the wall that seemed to be crumbling and might fall at any time.

"The patrol is coming soon, let's go quickly..."
