Chapter 17 Nangong Zeyue

"Mrs. Liu is so careless. She relied on herself as the lady's dowry maid and forgot to lock the door of the storehouse. She blamed us for losing something." The maid muttered and locked the door and went back to the room to take a nap.

Jiang Shuyue: "..."

This luck is really bad. It's so hard to rob.

What to do?

If I can't go back before dawn, Aunt Su's family and Qiuju will be panicked.

After a while, Jiang Shuyue calmed down and started looking for a way out after seeing that there was no fish that slipped through the net.

If she knocked on the door, she could alarm someone to open the door. Even if the people in Guo's house opened the door, she was not sure that she could get out of the house.

What if the manager brought a group of people, some of them went into the storehouse to check, and some blocked the door, she would have no chance to get out even if she hid in the space.

After checking around, there was no window.

Jiang Shuyue put the candle on the shelf and thought about how to leave.

The soft candlelight shone on her beautiful face, her eyebrows slightly twisted, and her eyes looked towards the roof.

Suddenly, the corners of her mouth rose, and her almond eyes curved.

She saw a small skylight on one side of the roof, and there was always a way out.

With a thought, a bamboo ladder appeared.

Fortunately, the bamboo ladder was long enough to reach the beam.

She held the candle in one hand and supported the bamboo ladder with the other hand until her feet stood firmly on the thick beam, and Jiang Shuyue put the bamboo ladder back into space.

There was thick dust on the beam, and she saw her dress was rubbed beyond recognition.

Jiang Shuyue secretly complained.

She originally wanted to dress up as a ghost to scare people when she was discovered, but now she was forced to become a gentleman on the beam.

Through the skylight, she saw the stars twinkling in the sky. Jiang Shuyue blew out the candle, and with a thought, she put the candle back into space.

Climb out of the skylight and sit on the roof to catch her breath for a while.

Looking around, Jiang Shuyue found that there was a wall not far away.

Following the same method, she left Guo's house and patted the dust on her body vigorously.

Just as she was about to walk along the wall.

"Hey, girl."

The man slapped her on the shoulder.

Jiang Shuyue's legs softened, and she staggered against the wall.

She turned around suddenly, and saw a thin man standing one step away from her in the moonlight.

The man's bright fox eyes were like stars, and he was wearing a black nightgown. His handsomeness revealed a hint of mystery and unruliness.

"In the middle of the night, do you know? People who scare others will scare them to death!" Jiang Shuyue took two steps to the side and shouted angrily in shock.

The man looked at the beauty in front of him and smiled at her: "Are you the concubine of Mr. Guo?"

Your whole family are concubines.

Jiang Shuyue glared at the man and turned to leave.

In the middle of the night, he is either a bad guy or a thief. She didn't want to say a word to this man.

The man clasped his fists and said, "My name is Nangong Zeyue. Miss, you are going to escape from the Guo family. You may as well wait for me for a while. I will take you there."

Just when Jiang Shuyue was about to praise him as a good man, the man looked up at the high wall.

"How did you get down here? Isn't this place far from the main courtyard of the Guo family?"

Jiang Shuyue: "..."

This is a real thief.

"Ahem..."

Jiang Shuyue almost choked to death on her own saliva. She glared at Nangong Zeyue: "Sir, the Guo family is heavily guarded. Don't even think about getting rich by going in."

"Miss, you are underestimating me. I know this. How can a family of a mere official be heavily guarded?"

"I bet there is no one patrolling in this courtyard." Nangong Ze pointed his toes and soared into the air, as light as a flying swallow.

"If you don't want to listen to my advice, forget it. I won't accompany you." Jiang Shuyue turned around and walked away quickly.

"Miss, I haven't asked your name yet?"

"No need to ask, we are on different paths, we can't make plans together." Jiang Shuyue left a word without looking back, and disappeared in the vast night in a blink of an eye.

"This beautiful lady is amazing to be able to escape from Guo's house." Nangong Zeyue looked at the figure disappearing at the corner, and jumped into Guo's house.

A moment later, a cry of surprise rang out in Guo's house, and the maids and servants all ran to the east courtyard.

"Call the master to come quickly, there is a thief in the house."

"Chase him quickly, the thief ran to the west courtyard."

"Catch him quickly, the warehouse has been emptied by him."

Suddenly, Guo's house was in chaos.

Nangong Zeyue was like a rat crossing the street, being chased relentlessly.

Just when the servant from the opposite side was about to block his way, Nangong Zeyue jumped onto the rockery, and then jumped onto the wall.

After a few jumps, he disappeared on the wall.

After leaving Guo's house, Nangong Zeyue chased in the direction where Jiang Shuyue disappeared.

Under the vast night, where was her figure?

Nangong Zeyue bit his back teeth and stamped his feet: "Woman, don't let me see you again."

Nangong Zeyue felt aggrieved. He didn't get a penny and was chased away.

His reputation as a thief was ruined by that femme fatale.

Nangong Zeyue tidied his messy hair and strode towards the inn.

Not far away, he saw the lights in front.

"Oh no! My package is still in the inn." Nangong Zeyue wailed and had to turn around and run.

At this time, he deeply realized what his master said, it doesn't matter if your martial arts are almost good, but your light skills must be good.

...

At the other end, Jiang Shuyue returned to the village entrance, she turned over and got off the horse, waved her sleeves, and the horse was put into space.

Walking back along the ridge, the shoes on her feet were wet by the dew on the green grass.

Back to the yard, she listened to the movement in the house, and then gently pushed the door in.

After entering the bedroom, she quickly slipped into the space.

She took her pajamas to the stream in the space and washed her hair and bathed with the flowing spiritual spring water.

Fortunately, the time in the space is ten times longer than outside. She washed her clothes and wrung her hair.

After Jiang Shuyue did all this, she didn't have time to see what was in the wooden boxes, and took her son out of the space.

In the room, the faint fragrance of mosquito repellent grass lingered on the tip of the nose. Sui Sui, who was sleeping soundly, seemed to feel something. He stretched out his hand and pulled Jiang Shuyue's pajamas again.

Jiang Shuyue was very tired after tossing all night. She didn't care about the pain in her buttocks and thighs caused by the horse. She closed her eyes and fell asleep quickly.

The next day, when Jiang Shuyue woke up, it was already noon.

"Yue'er, good news! Good news!"

Jiang Shuyue had just changed her clothes when Aunt Su came in with egg custard.

"Aunt, what good news?" Jiang Shuyue pretended not to know.

Today is the market day. If the theft of the Guo family is discovered, it will soon spread to the villages.

"Something bad happened to the Guo family last night. I heard that a thief came from outside and emptied the warehouse of the Guo Mansion."

Thief!

Jiang Shuyue blinked her watery eyes.

"Did the thief get caught?" Jiang Shuyue secretly sighed for the unlucky guy last night.

Aunt Su put down the egg custard: "Yue'er, it's getting late, eat quickly."

Aunt Su sat opposite Jiang Shuyue.

"The matter of the Guo Mansion has alarmed the government. It was the innkeeper who told it. The people of the Guo Mansion were chasing him so hard that they didn't have time to take the thief's package away."

Jiang Shuyue: "..."

This unlucky guy, I clearly told him not to go to the Guo Mansion to ask for money, but he didn't listen.

It feels so good to take the blame.
