***House of General Li Jin***
Ying Ying, Tan Xiang, and Li Chang Le's spirit headed towards Li Chang Ru's room after exiting the music room to execute a plan of tricking Bai Lu.
Ying Ying used illusion magic so no one saw them enter Chang Ru's room.
While they were inside the room, Ying Ying took out two clay statues from the magic ring, then wrapped a strand of Chang Ru's hair and a strand of Chen Chen's hair onto the bodies of the two clay statues.
The two strands of hair were obtained by Ying Ying in the music room earlier.
Ying Ying placed the two clay statues on the bed. Then Ying Ying's index and middle fingers were simultaneously directed to the bed.
In a short period of time, the two clay statues transformed into Chang Ru and Chen Chen due to the magic power of transfiguration.
"Chen Chen!"
"Yes, Brother Tan Xiang!" chen Chen answered the incarnation of the clay statue.
Tan Xiang realized that the voice and mannerisms of the fake Chen Chen from the clay statue were exactly the same as the real Chen.
"Bai Lu and Chang Ru are both crafty, but Bai Lu is smarter and more experienced than Chang Ru. Although they were both the result of my magic, but the presence of Chang Ru and Chen Chen's hair made the two clay statues turn out to be exactly the same as the real one. Bai Lu would definitely not notice it," Ying Ying explained at length.
"Miss Chang Le is very smart!" praise Tan Xiang.
"Let's go back to the room and rest. Tomorrow morning there's still an interesting show!"
"Okay, Miss Chang Le!"

The night of the horse carriage that Bai Lu had been wearing to get out, arrived at the Residence of General Li Jin. Bai Lu got off the horse carriage with Li Teng.
A Niu and A Lim, standing guard at the entrance, immediately ran over to Bai Lu and helped pick Li Teng up as Li Teng staggered.
Li Teng's face was grim, lethargic, and there were also eye bags and dark circles. A Niu and A Lim guessed in their little hearts that Li Teng must have not slept all night.
Both of their guesses are very accurate. Last night Li Teng was at a gambling place and gambled all night with Yang Jian. At first Li Teng won in every game so the young man became addicted and had no intention of going home.
Therefore, Li Teng added more betting money. However, Li Teng's luck had run out and changed into consecutive misfortune so that Li Teng lost continuously.
Yang Jian instead prevented Li Teng from gambling anymore, but instead introduced Li Teng with the loan sharks who served in the gambling establishment to borrow money.
When Bai Lu found Li Teng after buying dew water from the Taoist Priestess in the Temple, he found it, bai Lu almost fainted from being struck by the fact that Li Teng owed such a large amount of money that Li Teng was not allowed to go home before paying off all his debts.
While Yang Jian was not at the gambling establishment anymore. Li Teng informed Bai Lu that Yang Jian had gone to help him find a loan of money.
Bai Lu had a hunch that Yang Jian had deliberately trapped Li Teng, but Bai Lu could not seek accountability from Yang Jian because it was Li Teng himself who liked to gamble.
In the end Bai Lu paid some of Li Teng's debt and promised to return tomorrow to pay off Li Teng's remaining debt.
The Rentenir believed Bai Lu's words and threatened that if Bai Lu did not pay the remaining debt, then they would charge him to the Residence of General Li Jin.
"A Niu! Lim! Take young master Li Teng to his room!"
"Okay, young lady!" answer A Niu and A Lim together.
Bai Lu headed towards Chang Ru's room to give her some dew. The fake Chang Ru received the dew water bottle happily and immediately opened the veil to smear the swelling on her cheek.
Bai Lu was certain that Chang Ru's face would be as smooth and beautiful as before after putting on the dew water for two days.
Bai Lu was inside Chang Ru's room for ten minutes before going to her room to rest. As per Ying Ying's estimation, Bai Lu was completely unaware that Chang Ru and Chen Chen he had encountered were merely incarnations of clay statues.

In the morning Bai Lu woke up to the sound of knocking on the door from outside.
"Madam!"
"Come in!"
A Ling opened the room door and walked over to Bai Lu. Bai Lu was already leaning on the bed while staring intently at A Ling.
"What the hell woke me up in the morning?"
"Sorry, young lady! Yesterday Miss Chang Ru asked the servant to wake up the young Madam this morning if she did not find Miss Chang Le inside the room."
"Chang Le's? What's wrong with Chang Le?"
"Yesterday Miss Chang Le went to the music room to learn to play guzheng and has not yet returned to her room."
A Ling had already gone to Chang Le's room and found no one there. Even Tan Xiang disappeared.
A Ling was unaware Ying Ying and Tan Xiang were still inside the room. The illusory magic from Ying Ying made A Ling unable to see the two of them.
"Did Chang Ru do something to Chang Le?" inner Bai Lu.
"Where is Miss Chang Ru?"
"Miss Chang Ru is still sleeping in her room," replied A Ling.
Bai Lu suspected Chang Ru was unwilling to come out of the room as she was still wearing a veil so decided to immediately find out what was going on.
***
Bai Lu stood in front of the music room and tried to eavesdrop on the sound from within, but did not hear any sound. A Ling and a few servants stood behind Bai Lu. Bai Lu deliberately brought along some of his trusted servants.
"Open the door!" bai Lu's Order.
"Okay, young lady!" answer A Ling.
Bai Lu stepped his foot into the room. His pair of eyes widened as he watched the hanfu tear and scatter on the floor.
"ah! There's a man swallowed*ang!" shouted A Ling while closing her eyes with her left hand, while her right hand pointed towards the table where guzheng and other musical instruments were.
"What's wrong? What's up?"
The servants behind Bai Lu entered the room and peeked out from behind. They did not dare to advance forward before getting an order from Bai Lu.
All the musical instruments that were originally neatly arranged on the table, scattered on the floor. While on the table look two men swallow*ang.
From the point of view of Bai Lu's entourage, only the backs of the two men were visible and under the bodies of the two men were two pairs of smooth white female legs.
"Chang Le's? What are you doing?" yelled Bai Lu.
Bai Lu knew for sure what Chang Ru was up to after entering the music room and looking at the contents inside.
"Miss Chang Le?"
"That's Miss Chang Le?"
"Miss Chang Le is so shameless!"
"General Li Jin's reputation was destroyed because of Miss Chang Le!"
"People of Prince Wei Bu Yi! Not married, cheated on!"
"Who called my name and Prince Wei Bu Yi?"
The loud and carefree voice from behind made Bai Lu's entourage turn to the source of the voice simultaneously.
Ying Ying and Tan Xiang walked quietly towards Bai Lu's entourage.
"Why is Miss Chang Le outside the room?" ask A Ling.
"Me and Tan Xiang just got home from the market after buying a little snack, then heard my name called out repeatedly so it came to you!" answer Ying Ying.
The servants looked at the several small paper bags in Tan Xiang's hands so as to believe Ying Ying's words. Of course all those small snacks were the result of Ying Ying's magic.
While Bai Lu had a bad premonition upon seeing Ying Ying's appearance. Bai Lu observed once again the tear of hanfu on the floor.
"Chang Ru!" inner Bai Lu.

Good night readers. Don't forget to read the story tomorrow. This chapter is long, almost 1300 words.
Don't forget Monday it's time to vote yes 🥰🥰
There must be something, why did the commotion not make the four creatures swallow*ang wake up? 😅😅 the answer: because Ying Ying is wearing her magic. It's good to be able to do magic? 😁
THANK YOU
GREETINGS DEAR
