Why marry someone when you are reborn?

It's quiet at night.

Except for the occasional chirping of insects, there was no other sound in the prefect's mansion.

It was already the late night, and people and horses were exhausted.

Xu Yun and Xie Wanqing, who should have been asleep, quietly sat up.

Xu Yun lit the oil lamp with a tinder.

It illuminated the tent and also illuminated Xie Wanqing's nervous face.

Xie Wanqing thought about what they had discussed during the day and couldn't help but back out: "Ah Yun, it's not too late to stop now."

Xu Yun was not moved at all, and just asked: "Mother, have you packed everything?"

Xie Wanqing stuttered a little, and lowered her voice very low: "I have packed it. I have taken all the gold and silver jewelry that is convenient to carry with me. I have sewed it into the cotton-padded jacket."

Xu Yun nodded: "According to the plan, you take Hongyu and quietly go out the back door. The woman at the back door likes to drink wine, and I asked Hongyu to send a roast chicken this afternoon. She is fast asleep now. You can just use the key to go out. Go to the city gate, and once the gate opens, leave the city immediately! Wait for me at the city gate!"

After saying this, Xu Yun went over and opened the door.

Outside the door, Xu Yun's maid Hongyu was already waiting anxiously.

She was carrying a large bag on her back, which was the luggage they had packed over the past two days.

Xu Yun pushed Xie Wanqing and said, "Mom, go quickly."

Xie Wanqing was stunned, and subconsciously grabbed Xu Yun's hand: "What about you? Didn't you say--"

"I still have something to do." Xu Yun grinned, pulled out his hand, and his face was calm: "Don't worry, mother, I have arranged everything. I will meet up with you after I finish my work."

Xie Wanqing looked at her daughter. The thirteen-year-old girl still had a childish face. Even though she had matured precociously because she had not been loved by her father since childhood, had no biological brothers, and lived in a Taoist temple with her, she seemed to have never had such an expression.

She looked at the cloth strip on Xu Yun's head, guessed something in her heart, and couldn't help but persuade: "After all, he is your father——"

"I won't hurt him." Xu Yun kept smiling and promised, "I know. I am his daughter after all. I have to be filial to him."

Listening to Xu Yun's words, Xie Wanqing somehow became even more worried: "What do you want to do? Ah Yun, let's go together. Mother promises you that we won't go back to the Xie family, but go find the Xinghuo Army, okay?"

Xu Yun glanced at Hongyu.

Hongyu is sixteen this year. She has lived with them in the Taoist temple for many years, doing all kinds of rough and tiring work, and she is very strong.

As soon as she received the look from her young lady, she immediately grabbed Xie Wanqing and dragged her out: "Time is running out, madam, just listen to the young lady!"

Hongyu saw how Xie Wanqing and her daughter lived in the Taoist temple over the years.

Even this time, Xie Wanqing and Xu Yun were brought back to the prefect's mansion in order to let Xie Wanqing ask for help from Chenjun Xie. Otherwise, Xu Yun would have to marry into the Zhu family, which had people in their hands!

But what kind of good family is the Zhu family? It's fine that they are not from a noble family, but they haven't even read many books, and they killed three wives! Now they are forty years old!

Xu Yun argued with the prefect Xu Sanlang, who scolded Xu Yun for being unfilial and said he would watch the Xu family die. He also hit Xu Yun on the head with an inkstone. If Xu Yun had not been lucky, he would have been killed at that time!

If it weren't for this, why would the young lady say she wanted to run away? The world is so chaotic, isn't it dangerous to run away?

But staying in the Xu family is no different from being in a den of tigers and wolves!

Hongyu thought of this and pulled Xie Wanqing again: "Madam, please wake up. If you don't leave, I will really be married to the 40-year-old Zhu family!"

After hearing these words, Xie Wanqing finally followed Hongyu.

She felt guilty and distressed towards Xu Yun - although she was from the Chenjun Xie family, she was from a branch. She married into the Ruyang Xu family, but because she couldn't give birth to a son and didn't know how to please others, she was not liked by Xu Sanlang. She was also framed by her concubine and was sent to a Taoist temple to practice for many years. As a result, Xu Yun also lived in the Taoist temple, eating simple meals and never received any treatment as a girl from an aristocratic family.

Even reading was taught by myself.

Xie Wanqing said to herself: Forget it, just this once, what if I let Ah Yun do what she wants? It's better than staying in the mansion. It's better than marrying into the Zhu family! My Ah Yun is so outstanding, she deserves a better man!

After Hongyu and Xie Wanqing quietly left, Xu Yun simply threw the oil lamp back onto the bed!

The bed was piled with flammable fabrics, and when the oil lamp fell on it, a blazing fire instantly ignited! The room was filled with thick smoke and the heat rose sharply!

But even so, it still takes some time for it to really burn.

Without even turning his head, Xu Yun locked the door and went to the wing room that served as a warehouse. Then he spoke, "Library."

"I'm here." A cold voice sounded in Xu Yun's mind.

"I can bind myself to you. But you have to do me a favor." Xu Yun said calmly, "You have to give me a place to put my things."

A cold voice said: "The library system does not have a storage function."

Xu Yun was already used to the other party's directness and inhumanity, so he said directly: "You said that I am bound to you and can exchange books for the library's book reading rights. If you can receive books, you can put other things in."

The cold voice repeated: "The library system does not have storage function."

Xu Yun was not in a hurry: "Have you ever collected dowry lists? Do you have an atlas of exquisite jewelry? Do you have an out-of-print bamboo slip? Don't you want any of these?"

"No. Want it." said a cold voice.

Xu Yun smiled and said, "Put my mother's dowry in there. I will sort it into a dowry list later. And the things won't be kept for long. As soon as the dowry list is counted and handed over to you, you can throw the things out immediately."

"There is no such precedent." said the cold voice.

Xu Yun was very patient: "Just because there is no precedent doesn't mean it's against the rules. You can check if there is anything in your regulations that forbids temporary storage."

A series of "sizzling" sounds were heard, and after a moment, a cold voice said, "There is no rule that you cannot do this."

"If it's not said no, then it's okay." Xu Yun smiled more sincerely: "You can also try it first, and then ask your boss. If he says no, you can just give it back to me."

The cold voice answered quickly this time: "You can try. Please touch everything you put in with your hands."

Xu Yun opened Xie Wanqing's dowry box and asked the library system to take away the fabrics, ornaments, books, and even the copper basin in the box.

Watching the things in front of him disappear out of thin air, Xu Yun was not panicked at all - after all, there was nothing more bizarre than dying and coming back to life, returning to the age of thirteen, and having a person claiming to be the library system in his mind.

After all the things in the room were taken away, Xu Yun calmly locked the door and left quietly.

Of course, she was not going to join up with Xie Wanqing and the others, but to do something bigger -

Xu Sanlang treated them mother and daughter so harshly, it would be unreasonable not to give him a big gift!
