After hearing my inner thoughts, the ancestors in the Dream of the Red Chamber went berserk.

Chapter 81 Drilling into the Dog Hole

After thinking it through,

"Let's prepare the money first, and then figure out a way to get rid of the servants."

The three of them huddled together and whispered for a while. It was mainly Jia Hu who came up with a solution, as his two younger brothers' ideas were too far-fetched.

After they had discussed it, Jia Hu was about to lead his two younger brothers into the house when he addressed the people in the courtyard.

"I didn't sleep well last night, so we're going to sleep now. You should all rest too and not come in."

The maids did know that Jia Hu had a habit of not letting anyone keep watch at night.

There was someone guarding the outer room at night, in case anything needed to be done.

It was daytime, and the servants thought the young masters were still young and it was normal for them to like sleeping. They also heard Jia Hu say that no one was allowed to enter the room, so they didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

Instead, after the young masters went inside, the head maid stayed at the door, tending the charcoal fire and doing needlework.

The others, afraid of making noise and disturbing the young masters' rest, all found places to rest in the courtyard.

After Jia Hu and the other two entered the house, they waited for a while before going to the outer room, which had a window facing the back wall.

After the three of them climbed out of the window using stools, they stealthily walked along the back wall towards the outside.

Since the young masters and their masters were all resting, the people in the courtyard unconsciously became a little lax, and there was no one at the gate.

The three of them managed to slip out like that. Even after they came out, they still acted like thieves, walking along the wall. After walking for a while, Jia Hu felt that something was not right and kept looking back.

The commotion they made led the passing maids and servants to think the three young masters were playing a game again, finding it adorable.

But in the eyes of Jia Daishan and Jia Daihua, it was just another one of these three little monkeys trying to do something.

Jia Daihua had nothing to do today, so he came to find Jia Daishan. He happened to run into Jia Daishan here because he was bored and wanted to play with his grandsons.

We came over to see what our three grandsons were doing, but as soon as we got there, we saw the three of them sneaking along the wall, looking back every few steps.

Neither Jia Daishan nor Jia Daihua made a sound.

Jia Daishan also instructed his guards to tell them that all servants should avoid the area along their path.

He really wanted to see what these three mischievous boys were up to. Because of this clearing of the area, Jia Hu was also quite surprised that he had arrived at the garden so smoothly today.

Jia Hu is still quite short; he can only see beyond the garden wall, and there's a considerable distance between him and the houses.

Jia Hu thought that the middle part should be the private alley between the two mansions.

Jia Zhen excitedly pulled them along:

"Quick, quick! Follow me, it's right here."

As he spoke, he pulled them straight to the wall.

Reaching the corner by the wall, Jia Zhen excitedly parted the bushes against the wall.

Sure enough, a hole appeared in front of us.

Jia Zhu was also extremely excited, sticking her little bottom out to watch.

Jia Hu glanced at the hole and said, "Is this a dog hole?"

Jia Zhen puffed out his cheeks.

"Big brother, do you want to get out of here or not!"

Jia Hu touched his nose; this wasn't the first time he'd had to climb through a dog hole, so he had no experience.

No wonder no one discovered this hole; an adult couldn't possibly squeeze through it. Luckily, these three little ones were just the right size to squeeze through.

Jia Daishan and Jia Daihua stared at the cave in surprise, and Jia Daishan was about to call out to them.

Jia Daihua, however, told Jia Daishan to go with him. After a while,

"Let them crawl out first, then we'll go through the back door and wait for them there."

Jia Daishan looked helplessly at his elder brother.

"They actually let them go out, and made the three young masters of the Duke's mansion crawl through the dog hole."

Jia Daihua laughed and said:

"That way, if they misbehave in the future, we can bring this up and tell them that if they don't listen, when they have a son, we'll tell their son and see if they feel ashamed and dare to disobey again!"

After saying this, Jia Daihua urged Jia Daishan to leave quickly.

Both of them were skilled in martial arts and moved very quickly. This path was not far from the back gate.

Jia Hu was only mentally prepared when they stood guard by the wall.

Jia Zhen originally wanted to be the first to go through the tunnel.

Jia Hu didn't know if it was safe outside, so how could he let his younger brother come? He decided to go first himself.

After instructing his two younger brothers, he finally emerged first. But as soon as he came out, before Jia Hu could even laugh, he was picked up and his mouth was covered.

Jia Hu was terrified. Was he really that unlucky to run into bad people?

Jia Hu struggled and tried to bite it with his teeth.

Only then did I see my grandfather standing by the wall, with a half-smile on his face.

Jia Hu was shocked. How could his grandfather be here? And who was holding him? Jia Hu looked up to see.

Then I heard my great-uncle's voice.

"Don't speak, and I'll let you go."

Jia Hu was shocked, but also relieved. At least he hadn't encountered any bad people, so he nodded.

Just then, three sounds of pebbles hitting each other came from the other side of the wall.

Upon hearing this, Jia Hu realized it was the code they had just devised.

Upon hearing this, Jia Daihua grinned and picked up a pebble from the side, striking the wall three times in retaliation.

Sure enough, another one immediately emerged from the cave; this time it was Jia Zhu.

Jia Zhu was so surprised to see the person standing by the wall that he was speechless.

Seeing his older brother standing obediently by the wall, he also consciously went over and lined up in a row.

Soon, Jia Zhen excitedly popped out and said:

"Whew, we're out! We can go play now!"

Jia Zhen got up from the ground, patted his knees, and when he looked up, his cheering smile froze on his face.

Jia Daihua laughed and said:

"What's wrong! You're not happy to see your grandfather? He's very happy to see you all."

Jia Zhen was on the verge of tears. Was he really that unlucky? He had just come out and was arrested. Seeing his elder brother and younger brother standing there, he immediately went over and lined up in a row.

All three of them drooped their heads like dehydrated flowers, not daring to speak.

Jia Hu appeared obedient, but his mind was racing.

[Good heavens, what's going on! How could I have run into my grandfather and great-uncle? This is so unlucky! I've sacrificed so much, even crawled through a dog hole. Why did I have to go out and play before getting caught? Now I'm caught, what a huge loss!]

Listen to the thunderous voice in his heart.

Jia Daishan smiled helplessly; this rascal still felt he had lost out.

Jia Daihua looked at his three grandsons standing in a row with amusement.

Seeing that they were all hanging their heads and not daring to speak, I suddenly felt like teasing them, so I pretended to be very angry and said:

"Do you know you're wrong?"

The three immediately replied obediently, "We understand, we won't do it again."
