"Hmm." Gu Qing nodded. "It's said there are ways to enforce them. But ever since the Gu family moved here, no family member who went out to do business has ever violated the family rules."

Moreover, the methods of restraint were passed down from the clan chief through generations, and no one else knew about them.

Ye Ruan frowned slightly.

My brother said there are three doubles of Gu Chen in the basement of the Gu family ancestral hall. This should be one of the methods, but these doubles should be used for cleanup.

The main means of controlling Gu Chen will likely be to target Gu Chen himself.

Just then, a noisy sound came from outside. The lights in the old house were not bright to begin with, but now the lights outside made the sky above the old house as bright as day.

Ye Ruan stood up and said, "Let's go out and take a look."

Gu Qing had also stood up and was looking outside curiously. Hearing Ye Ruan's words, she subconsciously replied, "We can't get out!"

"I'll take care of those mute slaves," Ye Ruan said, already making a move.

She acted swiftly and decisively, each time she withdrew her hand, a mute slave would fall to the ground.

Gu Qing had also learned some self-defense skills, but he was dumbfounded at the sight.

After Ye Ruan finished dealing with everyone and waved to her from outside, she came to her senses and said to Ye Ruan, "Ruan Ruan, the reason we can't get out isn't because of them."

The arrangement of plants and trees outside Xingtang is different from other places.

The Five Elements and Eight Trigrams arrangements in those gardens were for guarding against outsiders, but the arrangements here are for guarding against the Gu family's own people, so even I don't know how to get out of here.

Ye Ruan looked at her calmly, "You know the layout of the other gardens of the Gu family, right? Draw it for me."

Although Gu Qing didn't know what Ye Ruan was up to, she trusted Ye Ruan because Ye Ruan immediately came to her side after discovering that she had been arrested.

Therefore, she did not hesitate to draw out the layout of the entire old house according to the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams for Ye Ruan.

When you're in the garden, it's difficult to see the overall layout of the entire courtyard because you're inside it.

But now that Gu Qing has drawn it out, Ye Ruan easily understands the key to it.

The layout around Xingtang is indeed different from other places. While other places remain unchanged, the routes to enter and leave this place are constantly changing.

This is why the Gu family dared to bring her here without taking any precautions.

She also noted down the way to get in when she came in.

Although the routes are more complicated than those in other places, they are all designed by the same person and therefore have many similarities.

After studying the route map drawn by Gu Qing for a while, Ye Ruan stood up and walked outside. "Let's go, I'll take you out."

A flash of surprise crossed Gu Qing's eyes, and she quickly followed Ye Ruan's steps.

Ye Ruan would take out the drawing Gu Qing had drawn before taking each step, and then think about it before taking the next step.

Although they walked very slowly, they didn't make a single wrong step.

About two hours later, she and Gu Qing finally walked out of the garden near Xingtang.

As soon as they went out, a group of mute slaves hurriedly walked past them.

The mute servants in the Gu family mansion all had their own duties, and these people's tasks were unrelated to the two of them, so even if they saw them, they acted as if they didn't see them and walked right past them.

Gu Qing turned to look at Ye Ruan, "Are you going back to the courtyard to find Gu Chen?"

Ye Ruan calmly placed a dagger and a delicate little pistol at her waist for easier access, and replied casually, "Gu Chen should not be in the courtyard by now."

Gu Qing glanced at her waist with slight surprise, but did not ask any further questions. Instead, she looked at the mute servants hurrying around in the garden and said, "Most of the mute servants are heading towards the ancestral hall."

If they did anything to Gu Chen, they should have taken him to the ancestral hall.

I'll take you there!

"No need." Ye Ruan glanced coldly in the direction of the ancestral hall and said, "I remember how to get there. You'd better leave the old house by yourself first."

Gu Qing looked at Ye Ruan with deep eyes and nodded, "Okay, I'll go outside and wait for you."
