Yu Jin smiled and pushed the door open and left. Jiang Si sat down on the bed and rubbed his face.

Shameful!

It was all that bastard's fault. He should have just picked up the food for her. Why did he blink for no reason? He made her think too much.

As night fell, Jiang Si finished packing and looked up to ask Ah Man: "How is it?"

"It's even more like you in the carriage." Ah Man took the veil and asked excitedly, "Girl, when are we going to leave?"

Jiang Si glanced at the leaking pot, grabbed the veil and said, "You stay, two people are enough."

Ah Man only felt a pain in his heart.

As expected, he was abandoned!

There was a gentle knock on the door, and Ah Man stood still.

"Go open the door."

The little maid walked over angrily, opened the door, glared at the person outside, and turned away.

Jiang Si put on his veil and walked out.

Yu Jin pointed at the veil and said, "It's both a nuisance and an eye-catcher, so it's better not to wear it."

Jiang Si shook his head: "If I don't bring it, someone might take me and exchange it for silver."

Yu Jin rarely showed a confused look.

Jiang Si raised his hand and lifted the veil, revealing a familiar yet unfamiliar face.

Yu Jin frowned: "Why is it so ugly?"

Jiang Si's mouth twitched: "This is about 70% similar to Miss Chi."

Yu Jin touched his nose and raised his hand to lower Jiang Si's veil: "Let's go."

It was a dark and windy day. Yu Jin was very familiar with the road, so he took Jiang Si and headed straight to Chi Mansion.

The Chi Mansion stands out in this small town, with its green tiles and grey walls, and a big red lantern with the Chinese character “Chi” in capital letters swaying gently in the wind.

This kind of house is not as easy to enter as Tofu Xishi's house.

Jiang Si glanced at Yu Jin.

"Don't worry, follow me."

Yu Jin took Jiang Si around to the back of the walled courtyard, where there was a deserted alley that looked cold and eerie because there was no moonlight.

Yu Jin took a few steps back, quickened his pace, leaped onto the wall, then bent down and stretched out his hand.

Jiang Si hesitated for a moment and reached out his hand.

A dry and warm big hand held hers, exerting a little force, and when she came to her senses, she was already standing on the wall.

Before she could stand still, Yu Jin grabbed her waist. Because they were so close, his voice seemed to hit her heart: "Don't make a sound. I'll take you down."

Jumping down from the high wall, at that moment Jiang Si didn't feel any panic at all, only the other person's familiar breath lingered in his nose.

That was the taste she was familiar with and loved in her previous life.

Jiang Si suddenly felt confused and his mind was blank.

Can she really get rid of this dog-skin plaster in her lifetime?

"What are you thinking about?" Yu Jin asked in a low voice.

Jiang Si came back to his senses: "Nothing, did you find out where Master Chi is staying?"

"Let's rest in the study in the front yard." Yu Jin pulled Jiang Si towards the study. Suddenly, they heard a dog barking, followed by cursing.

"Damn it, ever since my husband said he would reward me handsomely if I found a girl, all the people who came to my house were either scammers or thieves. I haven't had a good night's sleep!"

"Okay, stop complaining and beat the thief out first."

Jiang Si looked at Yu Jin.

Discovered?

Yu Jin shook his head, signaling not to panic.

The two hid behind the flowers and trees, and soon saw several servants chasing several vicious dogs in one direction.

At this moment, the vicious dog running at the end suddenly turned and ran towards where Jiang Si and the other two were hiding.

Before Jiang Xi could make any move, Yu Jin flicked his fingertips and the small stone in his hand flew out and hit the vicious dog between the eyes.

The vicious dog staggered and fell down.

The servants were busy catching thieves and didn't notice this place.

"Let's go." Yu Jin held Jiang Ru's wrist tightly and pulled her to the study window.

The window was open, and there was no night light in the room, so it was pitch dark and impossible to see what was going on inside.

Yu Jin jumped in silently first, then brought Jiang Si in. When their eyes adjusted to the darkness, they saw a low couch against the right wall with a person lying on it.

The man lay on his side without moving, as if he was fast asleep.

Yu Jin listened with his ear tilted, his expression changed slightly, and he pulled Jiang Si to hide behind a row of bookshelves.

The bookshelf was very tall, and its neatly arranged grids were filled with books. It looked more impressive than the study rooms of many well-educated people.

It is said that this is also the custom of many merchants. Even if they do not study, they must have a large study room filled with calligraphy, paintings, and books.

Jiang Si was somewhat confused by Yu Jin's sudden action, so he simply took off his veil and asked silently, "What's wrong?"

Yu Jin grabbed Jiang Si's hand and wrote two words on her palm: Not asleep.

Jiang seemed to be looking inside through the gaps between the books.

Not long after, the person on the couch turned over and suddenly sat up.

Because he had already adapted to the light, Jiang Si could vaguely see the man's appearance.

He was a middle-aged man in his forties, a little overweight. His originally kind face now looked depressed and haggard, and he was obviously suffering.

The middle-aged man walked to the desk in slippers, without turning on the light, and just sat there. After a long while, he let out a long sigh: "Jiaojiao, where are you? Daddy is so worried about you..."

Perhaps because it was late at night and there was no one around, the man, who had been suffering from the disappearance of his beloved daughter, had been suppressing his feelings for too long and he actually began to cry.

Suppressed sobbing could be heard in the quiet and dark study.

Jiang Si and Yu Jin looked at each other.

Yu Jin quickly wrote on her palm: "Action?"

Jiang Si did not answer. He quietly opened his hands hanging at his sides, and a faint fluorescent light flew along the ground towards Mr. Chi.

Only then did she nod slightly.

"Wait." Yu Jin quickly wrote two words on her palm and quietly walked to the window sill.

There was a candlestick on the windowsill, and the base of the half-burnt candle was filled with candle tears.

Mr. Chi sat with his back to the window sill. He was confused by the illusion but could not see anything unusual for the time being.

At this moment, the room suddenly became bright.

Mr. Chi was immersed in grief, his mind was a little numb. It took him a while to react and he turned around abruptly.

There was no one behind him, only the flickering light of the candle in the candlestick.

The candlelight was dim, but it clearly illuminated the surprised expression of Mr. Chi.

The door creaked open, a sound that was extremely clear in the silent night and sounded harsh to Mr. Chi's ears.

"Who's outside?" Mr. Chi strode to the door and looked out.

It was empty outside, and the banana leaves were swaying gently in the night breeze.

Further away there was a moving light. Master Chi knew that it was the servants in the mansion holding lanterns to catch thieves.

He was safe here, with servants patrolling at night and several guard dogs, and those petty thieves who took risks for a hundred taels of silver would never come to light.

"How is it?" Yu Jin turned on the light, went out through the door and quickly came in through the window, and asked Jiang Si for credit.

Jiang Si pursed her lips, unwilling to speak against her conscience, but also afraid that the man in front of her, who seemed to be wagging his tail, would go to heaven, so she hurriedly wrote two words on his palm: "Not bad."

Without finding anything, Mr. Chi turned around and went back to the house, but suddenly stopped.

Right next to the desk where he had just sat, there was a young girl sitting with her back to him, her slender figure reflected in the candlelight.
