Why marry someone when you are reborn?

Xu Yun quietly walked all the way to the second gate.

Xu Sanlang's study is in the front yard, and one has to go through two doors to get there.

But the second door was locked at night.

But Xu Yun was not in a hurry. She just hid behind the flowers and trees and waited patiently.

Not long after, the fire in Xie Wanqing's yard was finally discovered.

The sound of gongs, shouting, and running was heard everywhere, and everyone was in a panic.

A lot of wood was used when the Prefectural Governor's Mansion was built. If it catches fire, it won't just be a matter of a few rooms. If one is not careful, the entire Prefectural Governor's Mansion will burn down!

At this moment, everyone was anxious to put out the fire.

Everyone in the mansion will also be mobilized to put out the fire.

The second door was opened hastily, and the servants in the outer courtyard also rushed to put out the fire.

Xu Yun was originally wearing Hongyu's coarse cloth clothes, and she walked with her head down and didn't meet anyone's eyes, so no one recognized her. She was the young lady in the mansion!

She felt her way to Xu Sanlang's study.

There is a padlock on the study.

Xu Yun took off a double-strand copper hairpin from his head and opened the lock in just two breaths!

If Xu Sanlang saw this scene, he would probably be shocked: a noble lady from an aristocratic family actually learned such sneaky methods!

But in fact, Xu Yun had to thank Xu Sanlang for this. In the previous life, when the city was broken, Xu Sanlang did not take them mother and daughter away. In order to protect Xu Yun, Xie Wanqing had to commit herself to the leader of the Stone Army composed of bandits.

But after going through untold hardships, they returned to Xu Sanlang, but Xie Wanqing was forced to die by Xu Sanlang, accusing her of being unclean.

Xu Yun was also sold as a tool for marriage, and was later kidnapped by bandits on the way. After finally escaping, he was discovered by hungry refugees, who beat him to death and ate him.

I learned how to pick locks in the bandits’ den.

Because at that time, in order to prevent her from escaping, she was chained every night.

After the lock was opened, Xu Yun tiptoed into the study and closed the door.

There is no light in the room.

But the lights and moonlight outside were able to shine in partially. After adapting for a while, Xu Yun gradually saw the furnishings in the room clearly.

Two large, sturdy bookshelves.

Bamboo slips, silk, and books were neatly stacked on top.

Xu Yun looked up at the books, feeling mixed emotions for a moment, but soon called out, "Library."

"I'm here." A cold voice sounded.

"Everything, the same old rules." Xu Yun raised his eyebrows and smiled contentedly.

There are so many books - it’s a pity that this is not the Xu family’s main home, otherwise there would be more.

Xu Yun thought: If I have the opportunity to visit the Xu family in the future, this kind of good thing may happen again.

In order to ensure efficiency, Xu Yun worked very quickly, and it felt like calluses were forming on his hands.

After collecting the books, Xu Yun rolled his eyes and asked the system while holding the inkstone: "Library, do you collect all the things with words on them?"

"No." The system's cold voice came: "Only literary works are accepted. Inkstones are not accepted."

Xu Yun said "Oh" and put it down without bargaining this time. He picked up the letter instead: "What about these? They can also be considered as literary works."

System: "Forget it."

So Xu Yun immediately cleared out all the letters.

Just after Xu Yun had cleared out everything, she looked at the empty study room with only furniture and daily items left, and touched her chin with regret: Xu Sanlang might have some secretly hidden letters, account books, etc., but unfortunately she didn't know where they were.

Time was running out, and Xu Yun had originally planned to leave, but after thinking about it, she asked another question: "System, do you know where else in this house there are letters, books, and other things?"

System: "Scanning permission requires one hundred points."

Xu Yun...: "Next time you have this ability, tell me earlier."

"You didn't ask." The system's cold voice was as emotionless as ever: "The books I just collected can be exchanged for 102 points. Would you like to exchange them?"

Xu Yun hesitated a little: "Change."

System: "Host uses 100 points to exchange for a scan permission. Scanning starts——"

Xu Yun was really angry this time and laughed: Once? He really knows how to do business!

But since he had changed it, Xu Yun did not regret it and just waited for the result.

"Scan completed." As this sound rang out, Xu Yun's eyes blurred, and then he found that the scene in front of him had changed - many things had become translucent.

This also led to Xu Yun being able to see many things that he had not been able to see before.

For example, secret niches behind walls and boxes under the floor.

Both places contain some written materials.

Xu Yun lifted the stone slab effortlessly and took away the entire box under the floor.

As for the secret niches in the wall, she took some time to find the mechanism, and then took them all away.

After doing all this, it was already dawn.

The city gates are about to open.

Xu Yun did not stay any longer. He directly lit the oil lamp on the table, knocked it over on the table, then sneaked out of the study, followed the firefighters back to the backyard, and then followed the route he had planned long ago to leave the Xu family and head straight for the city gate.

It's strange to say, Xu Yun was not nervous at all when she was doing the work before, but now that the work has been done and victory is in sight, she became nervous instead.

My heart was pounding as if it was going to jump out of my throat, and my whole body was shaking with excitement.

As soon as he walked out of the city gate, Xu Yungeng even felt his feet go weak. He couldn't stand and was about to fall!

At the critical moment, a pair of hands held Xu Yun firmly!

Hongyu's voice came: "Young lady, get in the car quickly!"

Hongyu almost half supported and half dragged Xu Yun onto the carriage!

Xie Wanqing was waiting anxiously, and when she saw Hongyu go to pick up Xu Yun, she became even more nervous. Now that Xu Yun was brought over, she hurriedly dragged Xu Yun onto the carriage with Hongyu and put him away.

As soon as Xu Yun sat down, Xie Wanqing hugged her tightly and said, "You scared me to death! Why did it take so long?"

While waiting, Xie Wanqing couldn't help but think a lot, including the scene of Xu Yun being discovered and then caught.

Xu Yun grinned and leaned softly against Xie Wanqing: "It's okay, I just caused some trouble for Xu Sanlang. I want to make sure he can't take care of us for the time being."

Since the study was on fire, Xu Sanlang must have gone to worry about that first. By the time he realized that the two fires might be related to the mother and daughter, it was at least noon.

Thinking of this, Xu Yun sat up straight again: "Let's go, let's go!"

The carriage is moving slowly, we can’t let Xu Sanlang’s men catch up!

Xie Wanqing hesitated: "Ah Yun, are you really not going back to the Xie family? Although I am a branch family, if we go back, the Xie family may not necessarily protect us——"

Xu Yun said firmly: "Mother, we won't go to the Xie family! Let's go north! Let's go to the Spark Army! Have you forgotten? There are female generals in the Spark Army! If that's the case, then they will definitely use women to do other things! That's our only way out!"

What she didn't say was that the Spark Army was about to build its capital, and the new dynasty would hold an imperial examination to select officials.

Both men and women can participate!

She is going to take part in the imperial examination!

Because this is her only chance to take control of her own destiny and completely break away from the Xu family and the Xie family!
