Time Travel Adventure

Chapter 141 Don’t play by the rules

I also started to ask about the invitation, and Hongdou finally reacted and said to me, "Didn't the young lady tell me to pay attention to these before? This was specially sent by the Bai family."

Does that mean I have to go? It seems like I can't avoid this. I want to see if the plot is exactly the same.

When we arrived at the door, Hongdou took me in. The person at the door was indeed a stranger, not a familiar face at all.

I watched Hongdou hand over the gift in the same way and take me along the same route.

I waited quietly for Bai Yiren's arrival, observing the surroundings carefully.

I don't remember it very clearly, but it was more or less the same. Looking at the moon in the sky, I calculated that it should be coming.

As expected, Bai Yiren walked towards me in the same arrogant manner, still in her clothes.

She still sat opposite me, and I saw the two maids following behind her, looking at Hongdou's master.

Looking at her this way, she is indeed very different. There is a world of difference between her and the maid next to her.

When I saw Bai Yi’s humanized face and the Fu doll’s face again, I couldn’t help but smile for some reason.

Finally, he looked up at the sky, thought about all the sad things in his life, and then suppressed the smile on his face.

Bai Yiren must have seen this series of actions. She was pale to begin with, and now her complexion was as pale as pig liver, looking like a color palette.

I thought about the lines in the dream. At this time, I should ask, "Who is this beautiful girl?"

There's nothing wrong with the words, but the tone is a big problem. I just suppressed my smile, and these words sound full of sarcasm.

Bai Yiren gnashed her teeth and said to me, "Of course, she is prettier than a witch anyway!"

This was quite harsh to hear, and before I could reply, the two flatterers showed up.

My reaction was the same as that time, except this time I didn't use a mirror. I just removed the tea lid and pushed the cup over.

Fortunately, the candle was quite powerful. Bai Yiren looked at her reflection in the water, pushed the teacup to the ground, and screamed.

The sound attracted the attention of everyone, and Bai Yiren ran away in a hurry, even her route and posture were the same.

The two of them just said hello to me perfunctorily and were about to leave. How could I let them go?

He gave Hongdou a look, started smiling at the two of them, pulled them to sit down and started chatting enthusiastically.

The two of them continued my conversation very reservedly, but in the end, under my offensive, they still had a good chat.

It turned out that these two people were not rich ladies. One was from a drama troupe and the other was a storyteller.

He just came to flatter Bai Yiren. I thought about it and it was normal. No wonder the guard said no one went out.

They didn't leave at all. They were all backstage preparing to perform or resting.

Almost all the information has been asked. Those who appeared today were all raised by the Bai family. The last two people could not sit still and said that they were going to appear.

They held each other's hands and ran away. Of course, I knew this was an excuse. The acrobatics hadn't even started yet, so how could it be their turn so soon?

But the Bai family is really rich, wealthy enough to rival a country. They even have so many people to entertain them.

Thinking of those dozen or so silver notes, yes, being able to take out so many of them so easily must be a sign of a certain level of wealth.

My stomach started to growl, and Hongdou tactfully walked towards the kitchen.

I wanted to call out to Hongdou, but she waved her hand as if she was relieved and would leave it to herself.

It seemed like I couldn't escape, so I decided to wait for the plot to develop. There were servants hanging around in front of me, but not as many as at Zhuting.

After a while, Bai Yiren also came over, followed by Hongdou's master.

When he saw me, he came over angrily, and when he sat down, the stage for the acrobatic troupe in the courtyard had already been set up.

I saw the people preparing at the back had already taken their positions, and then there was the sound of firecrackers.

With the crackling sound, the acrobats have begun performing on the stage.

It starts with a lot of people doing cross-flips, and there's a hint of order amid the chaos.

Next came the magic show, which was different from anything we had seen before.

The man didn't have a microphone or anything like that, but his voice was very confident, and I could hear what he said even from the distance I was sitting.

He got a basket from somewhere and put a talisman on the basket.

The talisman spontaneously combusted, and something seemed to appear inside the basket and began to flutter.

A chicken suddenly appeared from the basket and was clucking.

This may not sound like anything new, except that there is nothing underneath the table and there is no cover.

Bai Yiren saw that I was watching the performance attentively and did not interrupt me.

I watched the entire show. During this time, Hongdou came back and we watched the show while eating together.

The performance ended when we finished eating. I drank tea and looked at Bai Yiren, waiting for her to speak her lines.

Bai Yiren also began to analyze the acrobatic performance. It turned out that the performance just now was really fake.

The hollow table underneath is actually a fake effect, and there is a child underneath helping to pass things.

The light is dim at night and guests won't be able to see so clearly.

What other methods are there for training animals? I took note of them in my mind. After listening to them for a while, I remembered something.

"How did the talisman catch fire?" This question is still the most crucial.

Bai Yiren looked at me and raised her eyebrows, asking if I wanted to know. I was about to nod when I felt that the words and tone were so familiar.

Isn't this the female version of Xiao Bai? They are indeed brother and sister. They are naturally good at this.

I looked at Bai Yiren's face, smiled and said I didn't want to know, which stunned Bai Yiren.

As he spoke, he began to belittle me non-stop, and I of course knew what he meant.

I didn't respond and let Bai Yiren give the final answer.

I didn't respond at first, but finally got straight to the point and said that I was not worthy of being her brother's wife and her sister-in-law.

This time I didn't waste any words, "One hundred taels of gold, and I'll leave your brother."

After I spoke so frankly, Bai Yiren stopped teasing me.

She looked at me strangely, then looked at the maid behind her. The maid shook her head and I didn't know what she meant.

Bai Yiren started to say, why give me such a large sum of money and not play by the rules?

I wanted to save trouble and get straight to the point, but she wasn't happy about it, so I provoked Bai Yiren, "Then I'll definitely be your sister-in-law."

My determined look must have shaken Bai Yiren's mood. Bai Yiren pulled the maid behind her to the side and started discussing something intensely.
