Bai Qingyun recalled that when he first came to Jiangzhou, Dayang Village was in a state of disrepair. The plowshare of the curved plow, the barbecue grill... these were all help from the Qin family to the Bai family.

Although there was a reason why Twelve held the princess' jade pendant, the Bai family had received favors from the Qin family after all.

What's more, she did feel a little sorry for the woman who casually drew the soft sword from her waist and waved it in the air. She shouldn't have died in the struggle for imperial power.

In addition to her, Bai Qingyun was also very worried about the situation in Kyoto, and didn't know how Wei Xi was doing.

Ever since they parted in Qujiang County, she had rarely sent him letters out of concern for her own safety.

Bai Qingyun comforted Su Niangzi for a while, and said in a gentle voice: "Let's settle the women and children here first, and then we will go to Kyoto!"

"Thank you, master!" Madam Su bowed respectfully.

Bai Qingyun knew that her actions today really brought her closer to this woman who was indifferent to worldly affairs, and she truly gained the recognition of this mysterious woman.

Bai Qingyun returned to the main hall and discussed some details with Qin Bo and Bai's father and mother before returning to the backyard of the dyeing workshop.

Madam Su noticed who was coming and came out to see that it was Bai Qingyun. She breathed a sigh of relief and said, "They have all gone to bed. To make it easier to distinguish their luggage, let them carry it on their backs. You can go in!"

There is a large bunk bed inside, where dozens of people from the dyeing workshop are now lying neatly.

The majority of them were women, followed by children. There were not many children, only eight in total, five boys and three girls. The oldest was only thirteen or fourteen years old, and the youngest was only two years old, younger than Xiaoyan.

There were the fewest elderly people, and only old women, not many, only two. Judging from the positions where they were lying, one of them was lying next to Bai Yi's wife, and was most likely Bai Yi's mother.

The other one was alone, her clothes were patched and her hair was beginning to gray. She lay there peacefully. If it weren't for her weak breathing, one would easily think she had passed away.

Bai Qingyun waved his hand in front of Su Niangzi without any hesitation, and the people and luggage on the bunk bed disappeared instantly.

In one corner of the bunk bed, bedding was neatly folded. Perhaps because they knew they couldn't take it away, they were piled in the corner.

Bai Qingyun gently stroked it. The cotton inside was old cotton, not as soft as new cotton. It felt a little hard in her palm, but she could still smell the scent of being exposed to the sun.

"It may not be convenient to buy bedding for home at the moment, so why not... take them all with you!" Madam Su looked at Bai Qingyun and suggested softly.

In the blink of an eye, the bedding piled in the corner disappeared from their sight.

Bai Qingyun asked, "Where is the dyeing factory's warehouse? Grandpa Qin said that it would be difficult for the dyeing factory to revive after this incident, so they might as well just close the store and wait to open another store in the future."

"There are still a lot of cloth and plant dyes in the warehouse. It's hard to sell them given the reputation of the dyeing factory. Grandpa Qin wants to let the workers in the dyeing factory share them. It can be regarded as a token of the dyeing factory's kindness."

The dyeing workshop was barely making ends meet, and there weren't many goods in the warehouse. Moreover, the Qin family had found the Bai family as their future home, which was a great favor to them. So they just gave the goods away.

When everything inside was almost packed up, at first glance this backyard looked like no one had lived there for a long time, which could be considered a distraction to the enemy.

In the main hall, the groom who was originally dealing with the people outside came in at some point and happened to run into the two people returning from the backyard.

Bai Qingyun took a close look at the groom. He should have some martial arts skills, but they were not very advanced. He could protect himself and stay here with Grandpa Qin. With the unique architectural layout of the Qin family, saving his life should not be a problem.

However, she was still a little worried, so she left some Lingquan pills behind.

He had seen the effectiveness of her medicine when he saw the injuries of Bai Yi and others last time, so Grandpa Qin did not hesitate and accepted it openly.

He hesitated to speak, as if he knew the two's plan, and took out a purse from his sleeve: "This is the location where the young lady sent the message last, including the Qin family's token. Madam Su knows exactly where to use it. If you two go together, you will get twice the result with half the effort."

Bai Qingyun nodded, took the heavy purse, and glanced at Su Niangzi behind him: "Let's go, go back and settle everyone as soon as possible. Uncle Yang and Kuaijiao are in the store, so nothing serious will happen. Come back to Dayang Village with me today!"

It would be safest for them to start from Dayang Village. No one knows if there are any spies in the furniture shop nowadays.

As for whether they will find Dayang Village, because the shop has not yet opened, outsiders have no idea who the current owner of the shop is. They only know that it is being renovated, and it will take some effort to investigate.

What's more, the officials here are loyal to the second princess, and the prince's power is difficult to infiltrate, which will only make these investigations more difficult.

At least Grandpa Qin is in Jiangzhou, and the safety index of Dayang Village will only be higher, not lower, so Bai Qingyun is not worried that they will be exposed in Dayang Village.

Furthermore, the Bai family is no longer an ordinary farming family. The fighting power of Bai Yi and four other people alone is enough to protect one side, unless the other side sends a large number of manpower.

Otherwise, those who go to the Bai family will only become the souls killed by Bai Yi and others.

However, the purpose of these people was just to test the Qin family's background. A few insignificant dyeing workers were not worth their time and effort.

Therefore, the Bai family only needs to make sure they are settled.

When they returned to Dayang Village, it was already the afternoon. Everyone returned home under the golden light of the early summer sunset.

Father Bai knew that this was a serious matter and involved the secret of the youngest child's space, so he took the lead in observing the situation at home.

Finally, I learned that except for the two elders of the Bai family, the rest of the people were practicing martial arts in the martial arts training ground in the back. Only the two elders of the Bai family were playing chess in the front yard. When I entered the door, I could still hear the voice of Grandma Bai angrily scolding Grandpa Bai for regretting his move.

Noticing that several people were returning home, Grandma Bai pushed away the chessboard in front of her as quickly as possible and greeted them with eager eyes.

It’s just that they are all family, and after getting along for a long time, they can tell what the other person is going to say next just by a change in their eyes, not to mention that the four of them all have serious looks in their eyes.

Bai's mother said, "Let's go to the yard next to Bai Yi and the others!"

Bai Yi and her family live in the front yard. When the house was being built, they thought about hiring servants in the future, so the servants' rooms were built there.

The yard is not big, but it has all the necessary facilities. The countryside environment is quiet, somewhat similar to a dyeing workshop.

The same bunk bed, the same position. The two old men who didn't know the truth only saw that the originally empty room was suddenly full of people due to the actions of the youngest child.

And they all lay quietly in bed, sleeping strangely.
