Skilled in managing a house

Zhang Yu and the young man had visited the courtyard where the headmaster's wife lived during the day. The courtyard was larger than the courtyard where the great protector lived. Otherwise, it would not have been able to accommodate so many people.

I looked at the drawings at the Great Protector's place at noon. The drawings were very clear, but the Great Protector only said that this was the residence of the Headmaster's wife and did not explain anything else. When Zhang Yu looked at the drawings, he could see that this should be a two-entry courtyard.

The young man obviously remembered this. He raised his hand and pointed forward, and the two of them walked inside together.

There are a total of six rooms in the courtyard as we move forward. You must know that there are only five rooms in the Great Protector's courtyard. Go straight forward, and there is a moon gate in front of you. There are two doors on the moon gate, but it is open now.

The two of them went in, and there was a flower garden inside. Opposite the flower garden was a two-story building, and there were wing rooms on both sides of the yard. In Laojun Palace, it is rare to see a two-story building. After all, even the Great Protector does not have this treatment. The two of them quickly walked around the flower garden and came to the small building. They exchanged glances with each other and the young man whispered: "Let's go in and wait."

Zhang Yu hurriedly whispered: "Go in and wait, will it be a little dangerous..."

"This second floor is too big. If we wait for others to enter and lock the door, we will be easily discovered if we try to go in. And we won't be able to hear anything from the outside," the young man said in a low voice.

"That's true... let's go in then!" Zhang Yu nodded.

It was obvious that both of them were talented and bold, and the headmaster's wife did indeed have some secrets hidden in her body. Encouraged by curiosity, the two of them quickly came to the door of the small building.

It was a bit far away before, and with the dark lights, it was impossible to see clearly. Now that we were closer, we could immediately see that there was a lock on the door.

"It's locked..." Zhang Yu whispered.

"I'm going to see if there are any open windows..." the young man whispered.

"What a waste of time." Zhang Yu said, taking out a pin from his pocket.

He inserted the pin into the lock, flicked it, and heard a soft "click" sound, and the lock opened.

The young man looked at Zhang Yu and couldn't help but said: "You still have this ability..."

"A small trick, the main thing is that the lock is easy to open. Don't waste time, go in and find a window to open, and then come out and lock the door." Zhang Yu said as he pushed the door open and walked in.

The young man followed him inside. Although it was dark inside, he could roughly see where the windows were.

Zhang Yu quickly came to the window on one side and pushed it first. The window was closed. He found the latch, opened the window, and climbed out. Go to the door and lock the door again, go back to the window, climb in again, and plug the window in again.

He moved very quickly, and when everything was done, he suddenly heard a woman's voice from the front yard, "You stay in the front yard, and if you feel sleepy, go back to your room and sleep."

"Yes, Master." Then, there was another man's voice.

Zhang Yu could tell that the woman speaking was the headmaster's wife.

I really didn't expect that the headmaster's wife left quickly enough. Fortunately, the door was locked now, so she probably wouldn't be discovered.

According to the wife of the headmaster, she wants to go back to her room by herself. It is certain that this small building is her residence.

"I think she's probably coming back to get something. It's probably very important... Let's find a place to hide first..." the young man said in a low voice.

Zhang Yu nodded lightly and glanced around. The door of the small building was closed and the windows were closed. It was pitch dark inside. Even if Zhang Yu had good eyesight, it was really difficult to recognize in a place like this.

But he could vaguely conclude that there seemed to be no hiding place on the first floor, and whispered: "Go to the second floor."

There were stairs leading upstairs. Even if they were pressed for time, the two of them did not dare to walk too fast. They tried their best to make no noise and climbed to the second floor quietly.

There are three rooms side by side on the second floor, one with the door open and two without. When the two of them were wondering which room to hide in first, they heard the sound of unlocking coming from downstairs.

In desperation, the young man did not bother to make a choice and pointed directly to the room with the door open.

After all, God knows if the other two rooms are locked. If they are locked, walking a few steps in vain is nothing, but they are afraid of being noticed by the headmaster's wife.

The two immediately entered the room with the door open. As soon as they entered, they found that the room was not small.

There is a dressing table and bathroom near the entrance, but there is obviously no hiding place. There was a screen on the left. After the two came to the screen, there was a mahogany partition with only a moon door left in the middle. There was also a bead curtain hanging on the moon door.

The two exchanged glances, and they could no longer look back because they were sure that the headmaster's wife had already opened the door and entered the small building. The young man took the lead in grabbing the bead curtain, parted it toward the edge, and ducked in. Zhang Yu followed him in, and the young man slowly loosened the bead curtain to ensure that it would not swing back and forth.

There is a big bed inside the screen. There is a curtain on the bed. It is not down now, but just hanging. On the right side of the bed is a window, and on the left side of the bed is a row of cabinets.

Zhang Yu quickly walked to the cabinet and gently opened the cabinet door. The cabinet is full of clothes and there is almost no space left. Zhang Yu closed the cabinet door and opened the cabinet door next to it. There were many boxes in this cabinet. Although Zhang Yu wanted to open the boxes and take a look, he did not dare to move them. Because he could already hear footsteps going upstairs.

It is really unpredictable which room the headmaster's wife will enter after arriving on the second floor. Zhang Yu closed the cabinet door and opened the cabinet door on the side. There were some clothes hanging in this cabinet, but they could barely fit in. Zhang Yu sat down and waved to the young man.

The young man understood immediately, and others followed Zhang Yu. This cabinet is really not big. After Zhang Yu sat in it, there was not much space. But he could also hear the footsteps of the headmaster's wife going upstairs, and knew that time waited for no one. The young man simply sat on Zhang Yu's lap, the two of them stacked up together, and he gently closed the cabinet door.

The two people sat inside and listened carefully. The footsteps were getting closer and closer. It was obvious that the headmaster's wife had arrived on the second floor.

The slight footsteps continued, and Zhang Yu heard it more and more clearly. It was absolutely true, the footsteps were coming directly towards the room where they were hiding.

Zhang Yu couldn't help but frown secretly, this was too coincidental. He could only pray in his heart, hoping that if the headmaster's wife came here to look for something, she would never open this cabinet.

There was a soft "click" sound, and the lights in the room came on. Zhang Yu and the young man held their breath, fearing that others would hear them if they made any noise.

Next, all they could hear was the sound of the door closing, and soon the sound of the headmaster's wife walking through the bead curtain.
