After a day of riding in a carriage, they finally arrived at the capital as dusk fell. Upon entering, everyone in the carriage was captivated by the bustling and vibrant atmosphere.
“So beautiful.”
“That lantern is so beautiful.”
“There are so many beautiful girls in that building. What are they doing, waving their handkerchiefs?”
The people in the carriage chattered, their eyes sparkling, unable to get enough of the sight.
Bei Yutang didn’t compete with them for a look, instead, she huddled in a corner of the carriage, resting her eyes.
Soon, the carriage stopped, and the curtains opened. They all alighted one by one. A vermilion gate, adorned with two majestic lions, stood at the entrance. Two armored guards stood at the gate, spears in hand.
The four of them were stunned by the noble mansion before them. The thought of living in such a place in the future filled their faces with excitement.
Wang Jing gave a command to a servant and walked straight into the inner courtyard.
The servant turned and walked toward the group, saying in a cold and arrogant tone, “Follow me.”
The servant led them into a nearby alley. Several female slaves looked suspicious.
One of them bravely asked cautiously, “Brother, aren’t we entering the mansion?”
The servant glanced at her and said coldly, “I’m just leading you inside.”
The servant seemed to understand her meaning and continued slowly, “Do you think lowly slaves like you can enter through that door? You’re only fit to enter from here.”
The servant’s tone was filled with contempt, but the group didn’t dare to get angry.
Several people looked at the small door before them. This door was probably the corner door used by the maids and servants. Although it was called a corner door, it was more imposing than the main door of an ordinary house.
“You enter from here.” The servant said, pointing in the direction of the door.
Bei Yutang and the others followed his finger and saw a small arched door next to the main door. It was about a foot and a half high, slightly taller than the dog hole.
Except for Bei Yutang, who remained relatively calm, the others stared at him in surprise.
One of the female slaves asked in surprise, “Brother, are we really going to enter from here? Did you point to the wrong door?”
The servant sneered, “You’re not qualified to enter the door next to it. Lowly slaves like you are only fit to enter from here. Hurry up and go in. Are you waiting for me to escort you in?”
His anger silenced them. They silently crouched down and headed toward the door that resembled a dog hole.
Bei Yutang was the last one to walk, watching them crawl through the hole one by one.
Climbing through a dog hole, what a pace…
Bei Yutang took two deep breaths, telling herself that a little impatience could ruin a great plan.
The current situation forced her to do this.
Her hands and feet were tied to the chains, and with her little bit of internal energy, she couldn’t untie the chains, let alone escape the pursuers. She could only wait until her internal energy reached the second level before she had a chance to escape.
Bei Yutang resigned herself to her fate and crouched down.
Just as she was about to pass through the dog hole, which was even lower than the corner gate, the servant said, “Wait.”
Bei Yutang looked at him in confusion.
The servant said to her, “Follow me.”
Bei Yutang obeyed and followed the servant through the nearby corner gate.
The four female slaves who had already entered the courtyard saw Bei Yutang following the servant through the corner gate and looked at her with unfriendly eyes.
